�I From the Dean I
MISSION STATEMENT:
We create a learning environment that enables our students to
emerge as succesiful leaders in the practice of global business and
public service. We value excellence in education and research) and
work with our students) alumni and business partners to achieve it.
T
he ability to embrace change is
essential to success in any profession.
Organizations and people today must be aware of
external influences affecting their business and react
to these changes or be left behind . They must also be
open to new ways of thinking, and new approaches
to product development or services.
At Suffolk's business school, we adopted a
new mission statement in March. This new
mission, highlighted above, incorporates our
new global vision and reflects recent changes
in business thinking. Throughout the year,
a faculty task force met to enhance the
Executive MBA curriculum. A similar
task force also examined the undergraduate
entrepreneurship curriculum.
Students at the business school learn to be open
to the many different approaches to problem
solving-they think outside the box and come
up with creative solutions to solving issues in a
complex global environment.
Consistent with our commitment to lifelong
learning, this issue of the Suffolk Business
Alumni Magazine is dedicated to innovation
and globalization. Each aspect of the magazine
discusses or focuses on innovation.
We begin with three articles written by
members of the Sawyer School faculty.
Professor Robert DeFillippi's article, The Spirit
ef Global Innovation, takes a look at how
organizations can lose their competitiveness
when they lose their innovative spirit.
Professor Ruth Ann Bram.son's article,
What Is Happening to American Democracy,
provides insight into how public administrators
can strengthen civic engagement. Finally,
Lin Guo's article, Integrating China into Global
Financial Markets, discusses China's newfound
acceptance into the global marketplace and
what this acceptance means to the Chinese
economy and financial markets.
In this issue we've profiled seven alumni
innovators and expanded the Alumni News
section to give you a better glimpse of some
of the many new networking opportunities
in the Boston, Cape Cod, South Shore, and
Metro West Alumni Chapters. Please
remember to set aside Suffolk's Alumni
Reunion Weekend,June 11-13, for classes
ending in 4s and 9s on your calendars.
I hope you enjoy this issue. I would like to
hear your thoughts and feedback on items
included in this issue and on items you would
like to see in the next issue. Post your feedback on the alumni section of the Sawyer
School's Web site at www.sawyer.suffolk.edu.
I look forward to seeing you at one of our
many alumni events during the year.
Very truly yours,
Willia

SUFFOLK BUSINESS GOES GLOBAL
International Study Program
"Every successful business is either global or will be global," said Shahriar Khaksari, Suffolk's
dean of international business programs. It is this fact that drove the launch this past fall of the
Sawyer School's new Global MBA, an innovative degree program designed to prepare global
business leaders.
Undergraduate and graduate students can
now expand their view of the world by participating in the International Study Program.
The program supplements students' study
of global business and enriches their overall
academic experience. International Travel
Courses are at the center of the program.
Under the leadership of Khaksari,' an interdisciplinary group of business school faculty members
developed an entirely new curriculum for the Global MBA. The program is offered full-time
and part-time and includes globally focused coursework, an in-depth study of the student's
choice of International Finance or International Marketing, and real-world international study
and work experiences.
"Effective managers must have the know-how and ability to forge global strategies and appreciate cultural and political differences," said Khaksari. "They must have a keen understanding
of how culture can shape business decisions. Suffolk's Global MBA is designed to provide individuals with the knowledge, skills and experiences they need to effectively manage, compete
and succeed in global business. We prepare men and women to lead successful businesses."
The core Global MBA curriculum enables students to build a solid knowledge base in key
functional areas of business and continuously challenges them to apply their knowledge across
cultures. After 12 months of academic coursework, students spend the last three months of
the full-time program earning credits as they work in a business enviromnent outside their
home country. Global MBA students may intern in a variety of industries, including consumer
products, e-conunerce, economic development, energy, finance, industrial manufacturing,
pharmaceutical, professional service, high technology, telecorm1rnnications or travel.
Employers may include start-ups.joint ventures or global corporations.
Business schools around the world have implemented international alliances and courses that bring
real-world global business issues into the classroom in response to an increasing need for effective
global business managers. Committed to establishing itself as a cutting-edge, globally focused
academic institution, the Sawyer School created an Office of International Business Programs,
headed by Khaksari in 2002. The launch of the Global MBA is just one piece of a larger plan.
New initiatives include globalization and enhancement of the undergraduate and graduate
curricula, the creation of increased strategic alliances with overseas universities and multinational
corporations, and expansion of students' global internship and employment opportunities.
Organized by Professor Teresa Nelson, as
part of the international business program,
international travel courses for 2004 include
visits to the Czech Republic, Chile, China ,
England, India, Belgium, the Netherlands
and Luxembourg.
Each travel course includes classroom time
in Boston studying the culture and economy
of the country to be visited; a seven to 10 day
visit to the country; ::tnd a follow-up class
and paper upon return. Students participating
attend lectures at a host institution, visit
corporations, and cultural sites.
The schedule for 2004 includes:
Undergraduate
Business in the European Union: Prague
Courses offered at Suffolk's Madrid Campus
Global Services Marketing
International Marketing
Introduction to International Business
Business in the European Union
Graduate
On the undergraduate side, this past fall, Dean O'Neill named Professor C. Gopinath director
of the global business program (formerly known as international business). First on Gopinath's
agenda was to evaluate the quality of the program. "The first important change we made was
to require all global business majors to have a minor," said Gopinath. "Most people enter an
organization through a functional area, like marketing or accounting. For our students to be
competitive, it's not enough to just major in international business."
Gopinath is excited about other undergraduate initiatives, such as the student-run International
Business Club and increased international travel seminars for undergraduates. "This spring we
have a group going to Prague, and in the sununer we'll offer four business courses on our
Madrid Campus," he said. O'Neill added, "These new initiatives solidify our commitment
to global business education." •

Chopping onions, busing tables and mixing

selected for inclusion in the 2005 edition of
The Best Business Schools published by the
Princeton Review.
This is a student-driven publication that gives
prospective business students an insider's
view into the best MBA programs in the US.
NAFSA: Association of International
Educators has selected Suffolk University
to receive an award for its international
programs. Suffolk is one of eight institutions
to receive this award. •
Sponsored by Lawrence's Center for
Entrepreneurship and Business Development,
the program allowed students to get involved at
every level-providing manual labor, technical
advice, product pricing and small-business plans.

and Philip Wang, BSBA '04 (Finance) are pictured in front

Development in Lawrence.
One of the businesses that benefited was the
Bali Tropical Cafe. Owner Carlos Veras was
very enthusiastic about the program, even before he met the students. "They [the students]
are going to know everything they can about the restaurant. Everything I know. Then I'm
going to take opinions from them," he said. The students helped Veras with advertising,
telemarketing and payroll.
The majority of the students involved in the Lawrence project were Griffin Honors Society
scholars (all averaging a GPA of at least 3.3). Lee Kulas, adjunct professor at Suffolk and
one-year executive director of Lawrence's Center for Entrepreneurship and Business
Development, initiated the project. •

Suffolk MBAs get the EDGE
Bloomberg Comes to Suffolk
According to a survey published recently
in the Wall Street Journal's Guide to the Top
Business Schools, communication, strong
interpersonal skills and the ability to work
well with others in teams rated highest
among the skills recruiters seek when
interviewing business school graduates.
What does the business school have in
common with the Federal Reserve Bank
and the Vatican? They all use a Bloomberg
terminal to access the latest financial and
business information.

Professor Michael Barretti (L) with a group of
Program is the professional development
MBA EDGE participants.
component that complements the Suffolk
MBA curriculum. Meeting throughout the
academic year, students gain the competitive advantage needed to succeed in today's dynamic marketplace. They develop their professional image by increasing their communication and leadership skills in this unique program.
The first MBA EDGE session relates new product development directly to entering MBAs.
Led by Michael Barretti, director of executive education and lifelong learning, students form
teams to develop and test a new product-a protector for an egg. Barretti's lecture, discussion
and hands-on exercises motivate students to picture themselves as a product in the development
stage. Students also interact with faculty and department chairs, learning about electives and
specializations they can choose to pursue in their MBA.
Networking opportunities throughout the day introduce students to each other, to Sawyer
School faculty, and to deans and administrators. While the day provides much valuable
information, it's also a time to socialize, design a "career path" apron, eat lunch on the Boston
Common and compete with faculty and deans in the annual MBA water balloon toss!
Other Suffolk MBA EDGE sessions address interview skills, writing the perfect resume,
corporate presentation skills, dressing for success and career development issues.
The EDGE luncheon series gives students the opportunity to meet informally with corporate
executives. Students learn firsthand what it takes to make it to the executive level. This fall,
students met with a leading healthcare CEO, a CFO, and a marketing executive.
It all comes together at the end of the year in an all-day business etiquette session. Students
receive formal coaching in an Art of Networking/ Executive Power Lunch. Students learn
proper dining techniques for a business lunch, how to "work a room" and how to gain the
competitive edge in a business social setting. •
New Tracks Prepare Students for Careers in Financial Planning
Aspiring financial planners can get on the fast track at the Sawyer School of Management.
The finance department has added two new options for those pursuing financial planning
careers: a certificate in financial planning and a certified financial planner track within the
undergraduate finance n1.ajor.
Each option offers a valuable opportunity for students to enhance their knowledge of
financial planning. Students can take courses in Personal Financial Planning, Estate Planning,
Taxation, General Insurance, Retirement Planning and Principles of Investments. Upon
completion of either program, students are entitled to take the CFP exam administered
by the CFP Board, which is the first step in the CFP certification process. For more
information, contact the finance department at (617) 573- 8396. •
This past fall, Suffolk business students and
faculty gained access to a Bloomberg terminal
thanks to the generosity of two Suffolk donors.
The terminals are located in the computer lab
on the fifth floor of the Sawyer Building.
"With a Bloomberg terminal, we have
instantaneous access to real-time financial
data, including stock prices, government and
corporate bond prices, exchange rates
and prices of derivatives," says Professor
Ki C. Han, chair of the finance department.
"Another great aspect is that the terminal
comes with a lot of valuable services, including the Product Certification program, which
all of our students can take advantage of."
The Bloomberg site, www.bloomberg.com,
is one of the top five most visited sites in
the United States for financial news, data
and analysis. •
MBA Students Serve as
Consultants for Change
A new elective offers MBA students
the opportunity to collaborate with local
for-profit and non-profit organizations to
diagnose a change dilenuna faced by these
organizations. Professor Regina O'Neill
developed MGOB 900 Managing
Organizational Development and Change
to help graduate students develop valuable
change management and consulting competencies through community outreach and
consulting projects. Students are working
with such organizations as the Gillette
Company, South Shore Elder Services,John
Hancock Financial Services, MassMentoring
Partnership, Summerbridge Cambridge,
Oxfam and United South End Settlements. •

�Why are only 1O percent of Fortune 500
companies from 25 years ago successful today? What happened
to the 90 percent that did not make the list? Part of the answer
lies in the fact that these companies lost their innovative spiritthe very same spirit that originally contributed to their success.

hy do companies that once achieved global market leadership through
innovative products and services unwittingly condemn themselves to
eventual decline? One needs only to look at the Boston corporate landscape of the past
20 years to see examples of this paradox. Why have DEC (Digital Electronic Corporation),
Lotus and countless other previously dominant high-technology companies disappeared?
Paradoxically, these firms were generously endowed with all the intellectual and technolog-
ical resources needed to continue their global market leadership. So, why couldn't these
firms leverage their resources?
The study of the management of innovation provides several insightful answers to these
questions. First, companies that are successful innovators typically develop close relationships
with their current customers and become beholden to them for current and future profits and
revenue growth. By satisfying demands of current customers, these same companies often blind
themselves to the innovative possibilities for creating future value for new customers in markets
they may not be currently serving.

�Can companies reclaim the spirit of innovation?
To survive in today's dynamic global economy, they must.
Clay Christensen, author of the Innovator's
Dilemma (Harvard Business School Press, 2000)
describes such innovations as disruptive innovations. He suggests that they are most likely to
be commercialized in non-mainstream markets
which are not completely satisfied by current
product offerings. Such markets are frequently
found outside the scope of the company's business forecasts and, if they are identified, often
carry unacceptably high market risk combined
with unacceptably low revenue growth and
profit potential to attract corporate support.
As a result, corporate investment in proposed
"disruptive innovations" lag. Additionally, the
best and brightest people who champion these
ideas grow disenchanted. Eventually, the more
entrepreneurally minded of these innovators
either leave to start new companies or join
rival companies more sympathetic to their
new ideas. In either case, the old company
has lost not only the idea of the moment but,
perhaps more importantly, some of its most
entrepreneurial talent.
spirit of innovation must extend beyond the
boundaries of any single firm and embrace
each participating player in such collaborative
knowledge networks. Fortunately, advances in
internet and communications technology are
reducing the requirements for physical colocation of people in innovative collaborations.
However, geographically separate innovative
partners still need to share a similar spirit of
innovation, a similar commitment to innovative practice and inter-relating that can make
creative collaboration work at a distance. These
skills of virtual collaboration are among the
most important new skill sets of today's business students, whose future innovative work
will often arise in collaborative networks of
geographically dispersed business units.
Spirit of Innovation Series
Professor DeFillippi has developed a Spirit
of Innovation speakers program and executive workshop for alumni and business
practitioners. The first workshop was held
on November 6 at the Marriott Hotel in
Burlington. The event was co-sponsored by
SRI International, an international leader in
research and technology development.
An increasing number of organizations are
focusing on innovation as a means to create value. Silicon-Valley based SRI (Stanford
Research Institute) International, founded in
1946, is expert at maximizing value through
MBA students examine best (and sometimes
worst) innovation practices of firms in a wide
range of industries in the Management of
Technology and Innovation course that I
teach. In this course, MBA students engage in
field research, where they examine the types
of disruptive innovations currently impacting
the global economy and analyze the likely
impact of these innovations on current and
future market leadership and on industry
practices. Additionally, MBAs examine
companies engaged in n10re open models
of innovation and analyze their practices for
discovering, accessing and commercializing
external sources of innovation.
History seems to suggest that companies lose
their way when they lose the very spirit of
innovation that originally contributed to their
success. The spirit of innovation for a global
economy means that a company must be
willing to scan the globe for best practices
and innovative product, service and business
model concepts. Innovation must not only
be internally developed but also discovered
and acquired from external sources. Henry
Chesbrough, author of Open Innovation
(Harvard Business School Press, 2003), suggests that companies today need to develop
open systems of innovation, where companies
are engaged in harnessing external ideas from
worldwide sources while at the same time
utilizing its in-house innovative capabilities to
bring new ideas to the marketplace through a
variety of pathways. This may take the form.

the licensing of their intellectual property

innovative technologies and processes.
Robert DeFillippi specializes in understanding how
the new economy is creating opportunities for project
based models of organizing careers, enterprises and
learning communities. He is developing a course on
Knowledge Management based on his forthcoming
co-authored book Knowledge at Work (Blackwell
Press) which elaborates on creating and capturing
value from collaborative innovation. He is also
developing a course on innovation and international
competitiveness that will examine how specific types
of industry innovations .flourish in dijferent international settings and provide those country-specific
players unique global competitive advantage.
My own research suggests that much innovation today occurs in virtually organized innovation networks through which innovation is
collaboratively developed by its participants
and the economic value captured and appropriated among network participants through
reciprocally negotiated agreements. As the
complexity, costs and risk of innovative global
product or service offerings increase, the

What is
happening to
n1er1can
M
any analysts, academics
and thoughtful citizens are
worried about the health of our civic life
in the United States.
Voting rates have dropped about 25 percent
since the 1960s, and the proportion of people
who tell pollsters that they "trust the federal
government to do what is right" has fallen
from three-quarters in the early 1960s to less
than a third at the turn of the twenty-first
century. In his book, Bowling Alone, Robert
Putnam points to a decline in institutions
such as clubs, professional groups, neighborhood organizations and other forms of
communal and associational life in America.
Concern about declining levels of civic
engagement has led many observers to
advocate reforms designed to strengthen
associations, and foundation dollars are flowing
to voluntary groups for community building.
This is important work-strong civic organizations are essential to a healthy democracy. But
the most important breakthroughs in the
effort to strengthen civic life in the United
States, I believe, will come from changing the
way the institutional paradigm works in government, especially local government, and
from public managers who view themselves as
catalysts and facilitators of civic engagement.
by Ruth Ann Bramson
Assistant Professor of
Public Management
12 Suffolk University
I Sawyer School of Management
Engagement means that the people who are
involved in a problem have a responsibility,
working with others of differing views, to try
to devise a solution that will work and that
will be accepted by most of those affected.
William Ruckelshaus described this approach
well in a 1996 lecture when he presented
several instances in which public adm.inistrators
stepped back from their accustomed roles and
served as facilitators and supports while citizens
directly affected by an environmental problem
hammered out solutions. Ruckelshaus said,
"Historically, public administration has prided
itself on its ability to apply the tools of rationality to complex problems. In the future,
many decisions will, rather, em.erge from
group processes. The role of the public administrator will be largely to foster the process and
make sure that it has technical support . .. "
�en1ocrac
If public administration is to be a key element
in strengthening civic life in America, how
can we make it happen? The research on civic
engagement specifies requisite characteristics
of democratic self government for a strong
civil society. The first essential feature is ongoing public dialogue on significant community
issues in which any individual or group may
participate. The second requisite is to nurture
the organizations and forums that provide
spaces for public conversations. City council
and school board chambers, legislative halls
and other official forums are essential for the
conduct of formal government business. But
such settings do not provide an environment
conducive to sharing personal stories or
listening to and learning from others
about community problems.
The third requirement for civic engagement
concerns political and administrative culture.
In our governmental system. of partisan politics, regulations and hierarchical bureaucracies,
problems typically are framed in political
terms, and they rapidly become the subject
of legislation. Once laws are passed, issues are
moved to the turf of government agencies
to be "solved." When it becomes evident
that public administration cannot solve many
of our most pressing public problems, the
bureaucracy becomes the object of political
scorn. Candidates for public office find that
criticism of government is often effective
politics. But such criticism does little to solve
public problems and results in citizens who
question the legitimacy of our political and
administrative institutions. An alternative is a
system whereby citizens engage more directly
in democratic self governance.
Fourth, historically, public administration has
emphasized expert professionalism. Now, in order
to strengthen community a shift is needed to a
facilitative or catalytic role. The same is true for
other professions, such as law, medicine or education. In these fields, appropriate practice now
must include not only content expertise but
also engaging the community. This means both
providing expertise and developing processes
whereby the community can deliberate on its
problems and collaborate to resolve them.
If these are civic engagement imperatives,
how can we make them happen? Many organizational reform efforts are based on a "best
practices" approach of importing the innovations of others. In civic engagement reform,
however, the primary objective is not to emulate the innovations of others, but rather to push
issues back to the community and foster public
deliberation through which a community can
define and interpret its problems and determine
how and by whom problems should be
addressed. In addition to learning from the best
practices of others, creative conmmnity problem
solving requires "best processes." It involves
means by which individuals and groups can
take ownership of problems by framing them
•
in terms that are meaningful to conmmnity
members, explore common ground as well
as differences and dialogue about whether and
how to act together. The process involves identifying public assets, bringing people together
to address the problem, identifying alternative
approaches, creating conditions for public
action, and deciding on the criteria by
which to evaluate actions publicly.
If public administrators, who are part of the
authority, lawmaking and procedural system,
understand and value these conmmnity best
processes they can adapt our governmental
system to the features of a strong civil society.
Can public administration rise to this challenge?
I sincerely hope so. The foture of our democracy
might well depend on it.

into Global Financial Markets
by Lin Guo
Associate Professor
of Finance
ccording to a poll of forecasters published by The Economist on
January 29, 2004, China is once again expected to be the fastest
sprinter among 25 emerging economies, with a projected GDP growth rote
of 8.5 percent in 2004. This is after the country's GDP had grown at an average annual rate of
nearly 9 percent for the past two decades. Using GDP figures converted at purchasing-power
parity, the Bank Credit Analyst, a Canadian research firm, estimates that the United States
accounted for 20 percent of global growth from 1995 to 2002, while China's share was 25
percent. The rest of emerging Asia contributed another 18 percent. China's accession to the
World Trade Organization (WT O) in December 2001 showed the country's deepest new
commitment to economic reform. China is now required to abide by the WTO's rules on
free and fair trade and to open its financial markets to foreign com.petition.

�As China increasingly is integrated into the
world economy, the country's financial system
is undergoing profound structural changes.
Through more than two decades of reform
and developn1ent since the country opened its
markets to the outside world, China's financial
sector now consists of a rich variety of financial-services firms, two stock exchanges and
three centralized regulators overseeing banking,
insurance and securities firms. The rapid rise
of China's stock markets has been astounding.
Until 1990 China had no stock market at all,
and until 1993 no Chinese company was listed
abroad. Nowadays, mainland China's two stock
exchanges, the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock
exchanges, have about 1,200 listings and a market capitalization of around $500 billion. This
makes China third in Asia, after Japan and Hong
Kong, and numerous mainland Chinese companies have listed their shares in Hong Kong and
foreign markets. The securities industry has
grown rapidly since the early 1990s. There were
131 securities firms at the end ofJanuary 2004.
Yudong Hou, MSF '99, executive vice president
of GF Northern Securities in China and author
of Ti'f;c,[l Street Securities Practice, has witnessed the
growth of the industry firsthand. He estimates
that his company's client assets increased by 25
percent, from 3.2 billion RMB to 3.9 billion
RMB in 2003.
"Compared to its scale of economy and population, the Chinese securities market has great
potential;' says Hou. "Today there are 30 rnillion stock and bond holders; this number could
double or even triple in the next ten years."
However, danger lurks behind the dazzling
growth of China's economy and financial markets. In the stock markets, the risk lies on the
quality of the listed companies, of which more
than 90 percent are state-owned enterprises
(SOEs), and many have abysn1al profitability,
poor information disclosure and weak corporate governance. Most private firms have been
denied access to the stock market. To ensure
listed firms remain under state control, the
government and SOEs own about two-thirds
of all shares in the market, and these state
shares and legal entity shares cannot be traded
in the stock market. The illiquidity of these
shares and the lack of incentive mechanisms
and legal infrastructure to improve profitability
of the SOEs distort the capital-allocation
function of the stock market.
In the banking system, the pressing issue is the
huge number of nonpe1forming loans on
banks' books. China's financial system is largely
bank-based, dominated by four state-owned
conm1ercial banks. The "big four" banks
account for about 60 percent of total deposit
and loan volumes and hold about 50 percent of
the overall financial assets of the country. The
government estimates that 23 percent of the big
four's loans are non-performing. However, most
independent experts think the true figure is a
third or more. All the big four banks are now
technically insolvent by any economic measure.
For years, these bartks have been tools for government-directed lending to SOEs, and they
cannot restore their solvency unless they can
assess risk and price their products and services
according to economic principles.
According to China's WTO agreement, the
country must allow foreign banks to conduct
corporate banking business in local currencies
within two years after its WTO entry and to
conduct retail banking with Chinese individuals
five years after its WTO entry. The entry of
foreign banks will erode the market share of
many Chinese banks that lack capital, technology, skilled employees and competitive financial
products. It is urgent for Chinese banks to
deepen reforms and enhance their ability
to meet the challenges.
On January 6, 2004, the Xinhua news agency
announced that the Chinese state injected
$45 billion-one-tenth of its foreign-exchange
reserves-into the country's two largest
banks, the Bank of China and the China
Construction Bank. "This is no doubt the most
important banking reform in China's banking
history," said Zhongyang Chen, a finance professor at Renmin University and a Fulbright
scholar who visited the Sawyer School last
year. "This capital injection will help the banks
to clean up their nonpe1forming loans before
their upcoming IPOs. The main purpose in
selling the banks is to change their ownership
structure and conm1ercialize bank lending. The
expectation is that banks with improved corporate governance will lend more productively
and more prudently than what they are doing
now." Let us hope that the pressures brought
by foreign competition will speed up China's
economic reforms and smooth the country's
integration into the global financial markets.

Robert Indresano and two of his children,
Susan and Rob, are all Suffolk alumni.
Although they earned different degrees at different times and
pursued different career paths, they all cite the same reason for
choosing Suffolk-It was a good fit.
A GOOD FIT
For Robert, an accounting major, Suffolk allowed him to continue
to work full-time to support his family, while studying on the GI
Bill. He was a star student. With the highest GPA in the business
school, Robert went on to earn a degree from New England School
of Law. Since 1971, he has run his own practice, specializing in real
estate and conveyance law. "I received a very good education," he
says of his Suffolk experience. "I was very satisfied with the school,"
which is probably why he recommended it to his daughter, Susan.
Susan, who wasn't sure of her career path, studied journalism. She
enjoyed Suffolk's friendly atmosphere and the flexibility of being a
commuter student. "Being in Boston was convenient," she recalls,
"and the small classes were nice." After graduating, Susan discovered that
what she really loved was working with children. She went on to earn
a master's degree in education, and for the past ten years, has taught
middle school special needs students in her hometown of Winthrop.
The lndresano
Family
Robert A. lndresano, BSBA '6 2
Susan lndresano Gibbons, BSJ '89
Robert D. lndresano, MBA '93
Susan's brother Rob, went to Boston College before coming to
Suffolk. Graduating from BC in the midst of a recession, he soon
realized that he needed a master's degree to compete in the tight job
market. "There weren't a lot of career opportunities," says Rob, who
turned to Suffolk's MBA program to boost his resume. "It was a really
good fit." After Suffolk, Rob earned a degree from Georgetown Law
Center. Today, he is vice president and general counsel for Oxford
Global Resources Inc., an international IT consulting firm in
Beverly, Massachusetts.
These members of the Indresano family are each special in their
own way, but what they all have in comm.on is a deep regard for
the institution with the flexibility to help each of them achieve
their varied career goals. •

Fox began her long relationship with Suffolk as a transfer student.
When she learned that the University would accept credits she
had earned at the American Institute of Banking (AIB), and that
the bank where she worked as a teller would pay her tuition,
she was thrilled.
"One thing about the banking industry, it really encourages education," says Fox, who always loved learning. "It's a big benefit."
For ten years, Suffolk was a part of Fox's life. While she was in
school, she got married, had two children and was promoted four
times-all the while, working full-time and driving from her home
in Ayer, Massachusetts, into Boston every week for class.
Today, as president of Colonial Co-operative Bank-a 100-year-old
institution in Gardner, Massachusetts-Fox oversees $70 million
in holdings and some 15,000 customers. If you think consumer
banking is all bean-counting and calculations, think again.
Fox says it's really about people.
"If you like helping people, banking is a good industry," she says.
"Like any service industry, you have to be flexible and roll with
the custom.er ups and downs. But I really enjoy being a resource
for people-answering their needs and questions."

And the biggest change in banking in the last few decades isn't
the technology, it's the ever-increasing regulations, says Fox.
"Some days, I can honestly say I'm not banking. The administrative part has become so significant that sometimes the paperwork
takes away from the service and problem solving."
Consumer protection laws and public security are at the heart of
the increase in regulations, says Fox, especially post-September 11.
"Ten years ago, you signed ten documents at a home closing.
Today, it's no exaggeration, you sign about 50."
Despite the challenges, Fox still loves her job. And she says,
she'll never stop learning. In fact, she just completed another

Spiros Tourkakis
MBA '83, Executive Vice President, East Coast Seafood, Inc.
If you've ever had
lobster, you can
thank Spiros Tourkakis. His company, East Coast Seafood, is
the world's largest distributor of lobster. Ironically, Tourkakis
thinks lobster is overrated (he prefers fish), but this didn't stop
him from revolutionizing an industry that has changed very
little in hundreds of years.
THE LOBSTER MAN
Born just outside of Athens, Greece, Tourkakis came to the United
States in 1978 for an education and a career in business. He spoke
no English. Two years later he graduated second in his class at the
University of Massachusetts. "I left Greece to seek my fortune,"
he says. Tourkakis came from a poor family. His father was a waiter,
and his mother took in sewing to help pay his college tuition.
His first job in the United States was as a driver for East Coast
Lobster Pools in Peabody, Massachusetts. Working there helped pay
for his MBA at Suffolk. "I rn.anaged to take all my classes in one day,
and then I worked the rest of the week," he recalls. "I did in one day
what most people did in a week."
It was a grueling schedule, but well worth it, says Tourkakis.
"It was not just an education; it changed my way of thinking.
Meeting people, learning things, learning how to deal with
people and understanding concepts, this was so valuable."
By the time he graduated, East Coast Lobster Pools became
East Coast Seafood. Tourkakis continued working there, taking
on increasing management responsibility as the four-person
company rapidly grew.
Today, East Coast employs 625 people in the United States, Canada
and Europe. It has offices in Brussels, Frankfurt, London, Madrid,
Milan and Paris. From its headquarters in Lynn, Massachusetts,
East Coast handles 18 percent of the world's lobster production.
According to Tourkakis the phrase "global economy" is already

outdated. He believes businesses have to change their perspective.
"We used to be countries, then it was international, then it was
global. Now I call it the 'no border economy."'
Tourkakis' success is not just in helping the company expand into
the global market, but also in pushing the boundaries of an industry
resistant to change. Nearly four years ago, he spearheaded the
invention of a new plastic lobster crate-replacing the old wooden
version. The revolutionary product saves the company millions on
labor and in lost product.
"I always try to be open-minded and think about where
the industry will be 20 or 30 years down the road," says
Tourkakis. "Most important, I have a positive attitude.
We all live only once." •

Eugene Lee
EMBA '96, President and COO, RARE Hospitality International
From busboy
to corporate
president, for the past 25 years Eugene Lee has literally worked
his way up the food chain. As president and chief operating officer
of RARE Hospitality International, the Atlanta-based company
whose concepts include Bugaboo Creek Steak House, LongHorn
Steakhouse and the Capital Grille, Lee can honestly say he knows
the food industry from the bottom up.
THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN
It was 1978 when Lee landed his first restaurant gig as a busboy
at York Steak House in Natick, Massachusetts, where he grew up.
For the next 12 years he rose through the ranks to area supervisor,
overseeing eight restaurants. Pizzeria Uno was the next rung
on the ladder, where Lee was general manager of a restaurant
in Framingham. Soon thereafter, Pizzeria Uno made Lee senior
vice president of operations, overseeing 170 restaurants. But
despite his rapid rise, Lee discovered that he had hit a ceiling.
increased sixfold; average weekly sales have grown n1.ore than
31 percent; and earnings per share have shown a compound
annual growth rate of 25 percent-exceptional accomplishments
considering the events of September 11 and the subsequent
weakening economy.
Accomplishments aside, what Lee has always enjoyed most about
his job is working with people. Mentoring his employees and
helping them develop as professionals and leaders is his sweetest
reward. "The restaurant industry is one of the greatest industries
out there," Lee says. "Most of us presidents started out as busboys.
You can be almost anything you want to be in this industry.
It's a real people business." •
"I realized I couldn't go any further without a master's degree," he
recalls. "I grew up in the restaurant business; I could run multiple
restaurants; but I didn't fully understand the whole picture."
Although he dreaded going back to school, Lee chose Suffolk's
Saturday-only Executive MBA-the only program that allowed
him to keep working full time. "I was in the program. in the best
time of my life," he says. "Everything I was being taught I could tie
back to real life. My learning was real. There was no theoretical."
Lee's degree gave him. the career boost he needed. Less than a year
after he graduated, he accepted the job of executive vice president
of operations for the Bugaboo Creek Steak House division of
RARE Hospitality. A year later, he was promoted to chief operating officer of RARE, and in 2001, he was elected president and
joined the board of directors.
Today RARE owns, operates and franchises 234 restaurants,
including 190 LongHorn Steakhouses, 25 Bugaboo Creek Steak
Houses, 17 Capital Grilles and two specialty restaurants. In the
five years since Lee became COO, the company stock price has

he was chairman of the Joint Committee on Taxation and the
Joint Committee on Banks and Banking. In these influential
posts, he took the opportunity to make allies on both sides of the
political fence. "I'm from the Joe Moakley school of politics," says
Brett. "In the house, I got to know each and every one of my
colleagues, and I made it a point to know their families, too."
Brett also made a name for himself as a champion of charitable
organizations, especially for the disabled community. It's a
passion close to his heart because of his oldest brother, who
is mentally retarded. "I promised my mother before she died
that I'd take care of my brother and people with disabilities,"
says Brett.
One of his proudest achievements is the Brett House in
Dorchester-a community home for disabled adults located
one street away from Brett's boyhood home. Bay Cove Human
Services of Boston named the house in honor of Brett and
his dedication to their cause. On the national stage, Brett was
recently appointed by President George W Bush to serve on the

Today Brett is president and CEO of the New England Council,
a job perfectly suited to his relationship-building strengths. The
organization is an alliance of schools, corporations and other
private organizations in New England working to promote
economic growth in the region. The job has allowed Brett to
reach out to local and national Democrats and Republicans,
as well as to non-profit and corporate leaders.
"I am as busy now as I was in the legislature, being a clear
voice for New England," says Brett. "I take pride in that."
Above all, Brett is proud to continue serving the people.

academic life at Suffolk. Second is people. I have an opportunity
to work with so many different people, each one exciting and
unique, and each one with experiences I can draw from."
Oberyukhtina's most recent accorn.plishrn.ent was passing the
CPA exam in November 2003. As for the future, although she
misses her family, she plans to stay in the United States. "It has
all worked out very well for n1.e," she says. •
She chose to study at Suffolk University on the advice of a family
acquaintance. "It was a smaller school," she says, "and the cultural
adjustment was lesser than what I would have gone through at
a larger school. Suffolk provided me a family-like atrn.osphere."
In May 2003, she graduated summa cum laude with a joint
BSBA/MSA degree.
Her career goal when she applied to Suffolk was to work for one
of the large public accounting firms in the forensics department,
and she credits her Suffolk professors with pointing the way. "My
professors never failed to support me and inspire me to do better
every day," she says.
After her senior year at Suffolk, where she was president of the
Beta Alpha Psi fraternity, she took part in the summer internship
program with Ernst & Young. The company soon offered her a
job, where she now has a range of clients, encompassing technology, biomedical and manufacturing areas. Her focus is insurance.
"There are two amazing things about my job," she says. "First
is continuous learning. It feels great to grow professionally
and personally every single day of my life. Ernst & Young's
learning-focused culture is a natural continuation of my

�KEYNOTE SPEAKER & HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT:
EUGENE I. LEE, JR.
The Darden family of restaurants features some of the most
recognizable and successful brands in full-service dining:
Olive Garden, LongHorn Steakhouse, Cheddar's Scratch
Kitchen, Yard House, The Capital Grille, Seasons 52,
Bahama Breeze, and Eddie V's. Darden employs 180,000
team members in more than 1,700 restaurants serving nearly
380 million guests each year.
Lee began his restaurant career in high school as a busboy at
York Steakhouse in Framingham, Massachusetts, and never
looked back. He is passionate about restaurant operations
and leads Darden with a focus on getting back to basicsensuring that guests and team members win with every
decision he makes.
Lee has been recognized across the restaurant and food service industry for his leadership and
his commitment to culture and people. In 2018, he received the International Foods~rvice
Manufacturers Gold Plate Award for industry excellence, which is widely regarded as the food
service industry's top honor. He was recognized in 2013 with the People Report Workplace
Legacy Award, presented annually to the leader who has clearly demonstrated a commitment
to balancing people and performance throughout his or her career in the foodservice industry.
Lee has spent more than 30 years in the restaurant business, but he has not forgotten his roots
at Suffolk University, where he earned an EMBA in 1996.
"When others wouldn't, Suffolk gave me the opportunity, and through that opportunity I was
able to formalize my education, gain a lot more general knowledge, and apply that along with
my operations background in restaurants," Lee told members of the Suffolk community at a fall
2018 event in celebrating the opening of the Darden-funded Suffolk Cares food pantry. He said
the educational opportunity Suffolk gave him played a big role in his eventually running
Darden, the nation's 42nd-largest employer.
"That doesn't happen for me without the opportunity that I received at Suffolk," Lee said.
The CEO is giving back, leading the Darden Foundation's philanthropic focus on hunger.
Darden funded the construction of the Suffolk Cares pantry to ensure that all students have
access to nutrition that fuels a healthy lifestyle and academic success.
"I've got more than seventeen-hundred restaurants, and every one of them is loaded with food,
but food insecurity was an issue that never resonated with me until I started to read and think
about it," he said during the pantry's formal opening.
"The goal is for every student in this University to be properly nourished, in and out of class,
at work, and in their everyday lives. It's hard enough to be a good student in a competitive
environment without having to worry about your next meal."

�KEYNOTE SPEAKER & HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT:
RUTH E. CARTER
Revealing a character's essence through costume design has
brought Ruth E. Carter accolades as an "essential visual
storyteller of Afrofuturism."
Carter, originally from Springfield, Massachusetts, has played
a significant role in shaping the personas of characters in more
than 60 film and TV productions during a three-decade
career. She won an Oscar for best costume design for her
work on the 2018 Marvel Studios blockbuster Black Panther,
with costumes that not only gave authenticity to an imagined
world but also are influencing the world of fashion. The
Wakandian attire melds a sci-fi vibe with carefully researched
African motifs. Its influences include the color symbolism of
the Maasai people of Kenya and Tanzania and the jewelry of
Ndebele women in southern Africa.

Previous Academy Award nominations for costume design came for her work on Spike Lee's
Malcolm X- one of more than 10 films she worked on with the director and actor-and Steven
Spielberg's Amistad. Carter also was nominated for an Emmy for the 2016 reboot of Roots.
Carter's imagination is a key to her designs, but she also is known for her comprehensive
research in recreating the clothing of different times and places. She created clothing that
might have been worn by a 19th-century Spanish queen and by African slaves for Amistad.
She recreated the look and feel of the civil rights era for actors playing the Rev. Martin Luther
King, Jr., his allies, and his adversaries for Ava Duvernay's Selma. And she captured the fashion
vibe of 1980s Bedford-Stuyvesant for Lee's Do the Right Thing.
A "Heroes and Sheroes" exhibit of her work has toured the United States in 2018-19, and the
fashion industry recently honored Carter for her iconic work in some of the most influential
films in U.S. history. She told guests at an event that she was attracted to costume design
through "these stories of African American culture, this story of our journey. When I started,
I didn't see very much of us, and I really in my heart wanted to tell my stories."
Carter holds a BA from Hampton University.

�HISTORY OF SUFFOLK UNIVERSITY I
06-201
From its roots in an evening law class with a handful of students, Suffolk University has evolved
into a global institution blending traditional and experiential learning with strong ties to partner
organizations and mentors in Boston and beyond.
CREATING OPPORTUNITY
From its earliest incarnation, Suffolk University has opened doors to students determined to
better their lives through education.
Founder Gleason Archer hailed from rural Maine and worked hard to support his law school
aspirations. He was fortunate in meeting a benefactor, George Frost, who paid for Archer's
education and asked only that Archer pass his generosity along to others. Archer took this advice
to heart and in 1906 began teaching law in his home in the evenings.
COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY
Suffolk was a school at the forefront in embracing a diverse student population, with African
American, Asian, Native American, and women students finding a home here since its earliest
days. Celebrating diversity has always been at Suffolk's core, making it the rich institution it
is today.
The school now known as the College of Arts & Sciences was founded in 1934. Two years later
the predecessor to the Sawyer Business School welcomed its first students. That same year all
three schools were incorporated as Suffolk University. In time the University expanded from a
night-school format to incorporate a range of full- and part-time programs.
A tradition of public service was firmly established in Suffolk University's earliest days. Many
alumni have been elected to public office at the state, local, and national levels; some began their
terms in office while studying at Suffolk. And Suffolk alumni work diligently on behalf of their
fellow citizens in nonprofits, the judiciary, and in policy-making positions at every level.

�The academic attire worn during commencement originated at medieval universities. The long
black gown, the basic garment of academic attire, was worn for warmth and to conceal food
(and sometimes wine) to be consumed between lectures.
hood-the most colorful raimentwas used as a cowl, an alms sack, or to protect the wearer's wig from the elements.
The color of the hood trimming signifies the wearer's academic degree, and the hood lining
reflects the official color or colors of the college or university conferring the degree. Here are the
colors you'll see at today's ceremonies:
White-Bachelor of Arts
Yellow-Bachelor or Master of Science
Magenta-Bachelor of Science in Journalism
Kelly Green-Healthcare Administration
Drab Olive-Business Administration, Business Analytics, Accounting, Taxation, or Finance
Peacock Blue-Public Administration
Blue-Master of Education or Certificated of Advanced Graduate Study in Education
Purple-Juris Doctor
Business students inducted into the Beta Gamma Sigma International Honor Society wear a royal
blue satin honor stole outlined in gold with the Beta Gamma Sigma key logo. Public
administration students inducted into the Pi Alpha Alpha National Honor Society for Public
Affairs and Administration wear blue-and-gold cords.
Other colors and patterns of stoles represent Suffolk University's veteran population and student
leadership and cultural groups.
For each school ceremony, an alumni marshal leads the academic procession carrying a mace.
The mace originally was a weapon; its ceremonial descendant confers an air of authority on
those leading formal pageants. Three student marshals also participate in the academic
procession and carry smaller versions of the mace.
The Suffolk University seal features the University motto,
Honestas et Diligentia, or Honesty and Diligence, and
the founding year, 1906. The image comprises a standard
and torch flanked by single stars, and Beacon Hill is
pictured in the background.
�A SUFFOLK UNIVERSITY ALMA MATER
Over the cobblestones of Boston,
And down the city's lamp-lit streets,
Over the rivers, bays, and oceans,
We journey here, to learn and teach.
Gladly would we learn,
And gladiy would we teach.
Guided by the beacon on our Hill,
And the Archer's starry reach,
From every continent and every shore,
We journey here, to learn and teach.
Gladly do we learn,
And gladly do we teach.
I,
As the road unfolds before us,
And in the hopeful words we speak,
We honor and remember when
We journeyed here, to learn and teach.
Gladly did we learn,
And gladly did we teach.
c. Music by E. Aragon I c. Lyrics by F. Marchant and S. Rubin

�KEYNOTE SPEAKER AND HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT:
UNITED STATES REPRESENTATIVE JOSEPH P. KENNEDY III
U.S. Representative Joseph P. Kennedy III has been a
strong advocate for social justice throughout his four
terms in Congress.
Congressman Kennedy, a former prosecutor and legal
aid volunteer, helped to establish the first Congressional
Access to Legal Services Caucus in 2015, which in
recent years has fought to retain Legal Services
Corporation funding. He is working to strengthen
protections for transgender students and military
service members as chair of the Congressional LGBT
Caucus's Transgender Equality Task Force, and he is a
member of the House Energy & Commerce Committee
and an original sponsor of the Green New Deal
resolution. He also has called for changes in the areas
of mental health and addiction, energy costs,
manufacturing and STEM education.
Congressman Kennedy's name is widely recognized across America. The spotlight was
on him in 2018, when he delivered the Democratic response to the State of the Union
address. He described the American ideal as " ... the belief that we are all worthy, we
are all equal and we all count in the eyes of our law and our leaders, our God and
our government. That is the American promise."
Congressman Kennedy represents the Fourth District, which ranges from suburban
Boston to the industrial cities of the South Coast region. He has participated in
Suffolk University campus events, most recently discussing mental health at a Ford
Hall Forum, and students have visited his Capitol Hill office.
Before his election to Congress, he was an assistant district attorney for Middlesex
County and for the Cape and Islands.
Congressman Kennedy, who is fluent in Spanish, served as a Peace Corps volunteer
in the Dominican Republic, where he designed and implemented an economic
development project.
He holds a bachelor's degree in Management Science and Engineering from Stanford
University and a JD from Harvard Law School.

HISTORY OF SUFFOLK UNIVERSITY
From its earliest incarnation, Suffolk University has been a beacon of hope to people
aspiring to better their lives through education.
Founder Gleason Archer had worked his way through college when a benefactor
loaned him money to pursue the study of law. He asked only that Archer pass along
the favor. In 1906 Archer began teaching law in the evenings in his home to those
with limited time and financial resources. He believed that immigrants coming to
America deserved educational opportunities that would lead to personal and
professional growth.
The young law professor soon moved the school into his downtown Boston office, a
location that made the school more convenient to students and, in time, opened doors
to invaluable collaborations with government, business, and cultural institutions. After
machinist and Suffolk student Roland E. Brown passed the bar in 1908, registration
surged. Archer gave up his law practi_e to devote himself full time to the law school.
c
Suffolk Law School received its charter in 1914. Later, Archer founded what are
now the College of Arts & Sciences and Sawyer Business School (in 1934 and 1937,
respectively). The three academic units were incorporated as Suffolk University
in 1937.

EXCELLENCE IN CONTRACTS
Building on the promise of its founding, Suffolk University continues to inspire and
engage its diverse student body. Through carefully designed curricula, internships,
mentoring, and networking, the University empowers students to meet their academic
and professional goals.
The University now offers programs at the baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral
levels. Faculty members are just as devoted to teaching as they are to scholarly work.
Suffolk's classrooms, libraries, residence halls, and offices are housed in the heart of
Boston, granting students superior access to career-making experiential learning
opportunities and the best of city living. Historic Boston Common serves as the
unofficial campus quad.
Suffolk students hail from across the nation and around the world. Thanks to the
University's campus in Madrid, Spain, and partnerships with global institutions,
students enjoy a wide range of study abroad programs and international internships.

�THE LAW SCHOOL TODAY
The Law School now has approximately 23,000 alumni who have achieved
extraordinary success in the legal profession and many other fields. Current students
hail from more than 30 states and nearly 20 countries, and they come to Suffolk Law
with a remarkable diversity of interests, backgrounds, and perspectives.

The academic attire worn during commencement originated in medieval universities.
The long black gown was worn for warmth and to conceal food-and sometimes
wine- to be consumed during lecture recesses. The hood, which is the most colorful
raiment, was used as an alms sack or to protect the wearer's wig from the elements.
The Law School continues its longstanding tradition of providing students with a
practice-oriented education. The Law School's programs in clinical education, legal
writing, dispute resolution, and trial advocacy are all regularly recognized as among
the nation's best. The focus on a practical education continues outside the classroom
with over 50 student organizations, 14 competition teams, and five law journals.
Students have access to hundreds of externships with private and public employers,
and they gain additional experience and serve the public by volunteering their time:
the Class of 2019 spent over 43,000 hours providing free legal services during their
years at Suffolk Law.

ACADEMIC ATTIRE AND SYMBOLS
The velvet trimming of the doctoral hood signifies the academic area of the degree,
and the hood lining reflects the official color or colors of the college or university
conferring the degree. The gown for the doctor of juridical science is black with purple
velvet trim and three bars of purple velvet across the sleeves; a purple stole is also
worn. The gown for Suffolk Law's master of laws recipients is black with purple velvet
trim and three bars of velvet across the sleeves. The gown for Suffolk Law's juris
doctor degree is black with a hood that has purple lining. Graduates were given a
choice between wearing a mortarboard (squared hat) or tam (six-sided hat) for the
ceremony, and the choice simply represents individual preference.
The Law School's core curriculum provides students with a strong legal foundation.
Seven academic concentrations allow students to focus their studies in particular areas,
including business law and financial services, trial and appellate advocacy, health and
biomedical law, intellectual property, international law, labor and employment law,
and legal technology and innovation. The Law School offers dual-degree programs
that combine law with business, crime and justice studies, finance, or public
administration. Several LLM degree programs provide post-graduate legal education.
The Law School also offers an SJD program for law graduates who seek to pursue
careers as teachers and scholars, providing them with the opportunity to conduct
research and complete a scholarly dissertation.
The colored cords worn by some graduates signify that they have been awarded
graduation honors.
Essential to the quality of a Suffolk Law education is the faculty. Professors here are
recognized nationally for their scholarly excellence and professional activities, and
they continue Suffolk's commitment to extraordinary teaching and helping students
achieve professional success.
Gold: summa cum laude honors
Silver: magna cum laude honors
Bronze: cum laude honors
Blue, gold, purple: concentration honors
White: pro bona honors
Other colors represent achievement or participation in one or more of the Law
School's over 50 student organizations and programs.
The marshal leads the procession carrying a mace. The mace originally was a weapon,
and its ceremonial descendant confers an air of authority on those leading formal
processions.
The Suffolk University seal features the University motto Honestas et Diligentia, or
Honesty and Diligence, and the founding date, 1906. The image is composed of a
standard and torch flanked by single stars; Beacon Hill is pictured in the background.

�HISTORY OF SUFFOLK UNIVERSITY
THE LAW SCHOOL TODAY
From its earliest incarnation, Suffolk University was seen as offering a beacon of hope
to people aspiring to better their lives through education.
The Law School's dual-division academic program integrates legal theory and practical
skills to develop highly skilled, ethically sensitive, and service-oriented lawyers. The core
curriculum provides students with a strong legal foundation, and more than 180 upperlevel elective courses are offered. Seven academic concentrations allow students to delve
deeply into specialized areas. They may choose from business law and financial services,
civil litigation, health and biomedical law, intellectual property, international law, labor
and employment law, and legal technology and innovation. The Law School offers jointdegree programs that combine law with business, crime-and-justice studies, finance,
international economics, or public administration. Two LLM degree programs located in
Boston and an LLM program in Taxation provide a post-law school experience for
practicing lawyers. The Law School also offers an SJD program in Boston that is designed
for law graduates seeking to pursue careers as teachers and scholars, providing them with
the opportunity to conduct research and complete a scholarly dissertation.
Founder Gleason Archer had worked his way through college when a benefactor
loaned him money to pursue the study of law. He asked only that Archer pass along
the favor. In 1906 Archer began teaching law evenings in his home, providing access
to professional higher education for those with limited time and financial resources.
He believed that the growing waves of immigrants coming to America deserved
educational opportunity that would lead to personal and professional growth.
The young law professor soon moved the school into his downtown Boston office, a
centralized location that made the school more convenient to students and, in time,
opened doors to innumerable collaborations with government, business, and cultural
entities.
After machinist and Suffolk student Roland E. Brown passed the bar in 1908, registration
surged, so Archer gave up his law practice to devote himself full-time to the law school.
Suffolk Law School received its charter in 1914 and was the largest evening law
school in the United States by 1930.
Later, Archer founded what are now the College of Arts & Sciences and the Sawyer
Business School, and the three academic units were incorporated as Suffolk University
in 1937.
Building on the promise of its founding, Suffolk University continues to inspire and
engage its diverse student body. Through carefully designed curriculum, internships,
mentoring and networking, the University creates opportunities that enable students to
fulfill their aspirations.
The scope of academic offerings has broadened to include programs at the master and
doctoral levels, and partnerships with institutions throughout the globe allow for a
broad range of international study and internship opportunities.
While law faculty members are recognized nationally for their research and professional
activities, they continue the strong Suffolk tradition of excellence in teaching and
availability to students. The Law School is a rigorous academic community, yet one that is
both supportive and empowering.
The Law School's downtown Boston home is Sargent Hall-designed to educate students
for law practice in the 21st century. Sargent Hall reflects and reinforces a sense of
community and shared mission among students, faculty, and administrators so that the
educational experiences shared during law school will remain in our alumni's hearts and
minds long after they have completed their studies.
The Law School's accomplished alumni-23,000 strong-may be found in every state and
throughout the world. Alumni have achieved distinction in practice, government service,
and business. They are exceedingly loyal to the Law School and are of tremendous
assistance as mentors to and supporters of the students who follow in their footsteps.
Today, the Law School proudly introduces the Class of 2015, and we congratulate them on
their significant accomplishments. We wish our graduates success and happiness as they
join the ranks of Suffolk University Law School alumni.
SUFFOLK UNIVERSITY MISSION
Suffolk University is a talent catalyst that recognizes and develops student potential.
Leveraging our location in the heart of Boston, our faculty, staff, and alumni work
together to provide a student-centered experience. This diverse community builds on
its dedication and excellence in education and scholarship to empower graduates to be
successful locally, regionally, and globally.

�LAW SCHOOL MISSION
ACADEMIC ATTIRE AND SYMBOLS
Suffolk University Law School, located in Boston, is dedicated to welcoming students
from all backgrounds and circumstances and educating them to become highly skilled
and ethical lawyers who are well prepared to serve in their local communities, across
the nation, and around the world. Because the lawyer's role has evolved and expanded
since Suffolk's founding in 1906, the Law School seeks to develop in its students the
skills necessary to serve the profession's changing needs in an increasingly diverse,
global and technologically dependent society. As one of the nation's largest law
schools, Suffolk meets that challenge by providing students with a core foundation in
legal education, a breadth of courses and programs, and excellent training by a diverse
and accessible faculty engaged in scholarship and service to their profession and
communities. Suffolk's goal is to provide its students with access to an excellent legal
education, inspire a commitment to justice, and provide its graduates the opportunity
to achieve their career aspirations.
The academic attire worn during commencement originated in medieval universities.
The long black gown was worn for warmth and to conceal food-and sometimes
wine-to be consumed during lecture recesses. The hood, which is the most colorful
raiment, was used as an alms sack or to protect the wearer's wig from the elements.
The velvet trimming of the doctoral hood signifies the academic area of the degree,
and the hood lining reflects the official color or colors of the college or university
conferring the degree. The gown for the master of laws recipients is black faced with
purple velvet trim with three bars of velvet across the sleeves. The hood trimming
color purple indicates the juris doctor degree. Graduates were given a choice of
wearing a mortarboard or tam for the ceremony, and thus, simply represents indivdual
preference.
Colored cords are worn by our Law School graduates who have been awarded
graduation honors. Gold cords signify summa cum Laude honors; silver denotes magna
cum Laude honors; and bronze indicates cum Laude honors. A wide range of colors
represent various student organizations.
The marshal leads the procession carrying a mace. The mace originally was a
weapon, and its ceremonial descendant confers an air of authority on those leading
formal pageants.
The Suffolk University seal features the University motto Honestas et DiLigentia, or
Honesty and Diligence, and the founding date, 1906. The image is composed of a
standard and torch flanked by single stars, and Beacon Hill is pictured in the
background.

�A SUFFOLK UNIVERSITY ALMA MATER
Over the cobblestones of Boston,
And down the city's lamp-lit streets,
Over the rivers, bays, and oceans,
We journeyed here, to learn and teach.
Gladly did we learn,
And gladly did we teach.
Guided by the beacon on our Hill,
And the Archer's starry reach,
From every continent and every shore,
We journeyed here, to learn and teach.
Gladly did we learn,
And gladly did we teach.
In all the many ways we grew,
And amid the wonders we would see,
We were partners on a journey,
Whether the path was smooth or steep.
Gladly did we learn,
And gladly did we teach.
As the road unfolds before us,
And in the hopeful words we speak,
We honor and remember Suffolk
Where we all came to learn and teach.
Yes, gladly did we learn,
And gladly did we teach.
Gladly did we learn,
And gladly did we teach.
IN MEMORIAM
JOHN E. FENTON, JR.
It is with a heavy heart that Suffolk Law pays tribute to the Honorable John E. Fenton,
Jr., who died on Sunday, August 24, 2014. Judge Fenton was a beloved member of our
community. He served Suffolk Law School as a member of the faculty for over 50 years
before becoming dean in 1994, a position in which he served until 1998.
Judge Fenton was a highly respected favorite among Suffolk Law School students
throughout his entire career. His evidence course filled quickly each fall, as word
passed from one class to the next about his teaching excellence and wonderful sense of
humor. Generations of students count his lectures among the highlights of their legal
education. He also led the planning and fundraising efforts for Sargent Hall.
He was appointed associate justice of the Massachusetts Land Court in 1974 and
then served as chief justice of that court until 1992. He then served as chief justice for
administration and management of the Trial Court until 1994.
In keeping with his lifelong commitment to public service, Judge Fenton supported the
Suffolk Law community through a fellowship for service-minded graduates.

�HJSTORY OF SUFFOLK UNIVERSITY
"History has demonstrated that the great leaders of every age were, almost without
exception, born in poverty, denied educational advantages in boyhood, and obliged to
educate themselves at odd moments while doing a man's work in the world. The same
immutable principle is in operation today-the earnest souls who now toil in the
evening schools to fit themselves for life will be found in the front ranks of our civilization
of tomorrow."
-Gleason L. Archer (1923)
SUFFOLK UNIVERSITY FOUNDED IN 1906
Suffolk University grew from humble beginnings in the Roxbury parlor of Gleason L. Archer,
a young lawyer who had worked his way through high school and college. A chance meeting
brought Archer together with a benefactor who loaned him money to pursue the study of
law, asking only that Archer pass along the favor.
In 1906, Archer opened the Suffolk School of Law, a night school established to "serve
ambitious young men who are obliged to work for a living while studying law." He believed
that the growing waves of immigrants who came to America's shores should be given the
same opportunities that had been the privilege of the wealthy few.
Archer soon moved the school into his downtown law offices, and in 1908 machinist and
Archer student Roland E. Brown passed the bar. News of Brown's achievement led to a
boost in registration, so Archer gave up his law practice to devote himself full-time to the
Suffolk School of Law. By 1930, Archer had built Suffolk into one of the largest law schools
in the country.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences-later renamed the College of Arts and Scienceswas founded in 1934 in response to the recommended standard that law students possess a
college degree, and because Archer wanted to create "a great evening university'' that working
people could afford.
Three years later, in 1937, the College of Business Administration, now the Sawyer
Business School, was established. It offered the possibility of the extension of intellectual
THE LAW SCHOOL TODAY
The law school's dual-division academic program integrates legal theory and practical skills
in developing highly-skilled, ethically sensitive and service-oriented lawyers. The student
body is extremely talented, and the core curriculum provides students with a strong legal
foundation offering more than 180 upper-level elective courses. Five academic concentrations
allow students to delve deeply into specialized areas. Students can choose from business law
and financial services, civil litigation, health and biomedical law, intellectual property, and
international law. The law school also offers joint-degree programs that combine law with
business, criminal justice, finance, international economics, and public administration.
The Rappaport Center for Law and Public Service allows students to pursue public service
and pro bono opportunities. An LL.M. program in global law and technology located in
Boston and an LL.M. program for international business lawyers located in Budapest,
Hungary provide a post-law school experience to practicing lawyers.
While law faculty members are increasingly recognized nationally for their research and
professional activities, they continue the strong Suffolk tradition of excellence in teaching
and availability to students. The law school is a rigorous academic community, but one
that is both supportive and enabling.
Suffolk Law was founded more than one hundred years ago. Today, the law school is located
in downtown Boston in Sargent Hall-a state-of-the-art building designed to educate
students for practice in the 21st century. Sargent Hall reflects and reinforces a sense of
community and shared mission among our students, faculty, and administrators. It is our
hope that the educational experiences that our students share during law school will remain
in their hearts and minds long after they have completed their studies at Sargent Hall.
The law school is extremely proud of the accomplishments of our alumni, 22,000 strong, who
can be found in every state and throughout the world. Alumni have achieved distinction in
practice, government service and in business. They are exceedingly loyal to the law school
and are of tremendous assistance to the students who follow in their footsteps.
Today, the law school proudly introduces the Class of 2010 and we congratulate them on
their varied and significant accomplishments. We wish our students success and happiness
as they receive their degrees and join the ranks of Suffolk University Law School graduates.
analysis into the field of business.
The three academic units were incorporated as Suffolk University in 1937, and, over the
years, the University expanded from its night-school format to incorporate a range of
full- and part-time programs.

had its origin during the Middle Ages at the medieval universities. The long black gown,
the basic garment of the academic attire, was worn for warmth and to conceal food and
sometimes wine to be consumed during lecture recesses . The square cap, the shape of which
resembles a book, a mason's mortarboard, or the quadrangle shape of the Oxford University
campus, usually has a black tassel indicating a bachelor's or master's degree, or a gold tassel
indicating a doctoral degree. The hood, which is the most colorful raiment, was used as a
cowl, a cape, an alms sack, or to protect the wearer's wig from the elements.
In modern times, the wearing of academic attire was codified by the American Council on
Education. Contemporary guidelines specify that the standard color for caps and gowns is
black, that the material be cotton poplin, that there be no trimming on the gowns worn by
recipients of baccalaureate or master's degrees, that the doctoral gown may be faced with
black velvet trim with three bars of black velvet across the sleeves, that the trimming of the
doctoral hood be of velvet and signify the academic area of the degree, and that the hood
lining reflect the official color or colors of the college or university conferring the degree.
The gown for master of laws is black faced with purple velvet trim with three bars of velvet
across the sleeves. The hood trimming color white designates bachelor of arts; yellow:
bachelor and master of science; magenta: bachelor of science in journalism; drab olive:
bachelor and master of business administration; peacock blue: bachelor and master of
public administration; blue: master of education and certificate of advanced graduate study
in education; and purple: juris doctor (law) degree.
Within certain permissible limits, universities may vary the style and color of the caps and
gowns worn by their graduates. These variations may be noticed in the academic procession.
Colored cords are worn by our Law School graduates and College of Arts and Sciences and
Sawyer Business School undergraduates who have been awarded graduation honors. Gold
cords signify summa cum laude honors, silver signifies magna cum laude honors, and bronze
indicates cum laude honors. The College of Arts and Sciences and the Sawyer Business
School also recognize honor distinctions for transfer graduates-blue and gold cords for
Highest Distinction, blue and silver cords for High Distinction, and blue and bronze for
Distinction. Business students inducted into the Beta Gamma Sigma International Honor
Society are wearing a royal blue satin honor stole outlined in gold with the Beta Gamma
Sigma key logo.

IN MEMORY OF CHRISTOPHER
J.
CrvALr
Christopher Civali, a third-year law student, died unexpectedly on May 2, 2010. The tragic
loss of Chris has touched us and he is deeply missed as a member of the Suffolk University
Law School Community. Though Chris is not with us today, he will be in our hearts and
thoughts during the law school commencement ceremony. The blue and gold ribbon that
we wear represents our loss, as well as our appreciation for his friendship.
The Commencement Program indicates that Chris Civali would have received his law

�ACADEMIC ATTIRE
The academic attire worn during the commencement exercises by the
graduates, faculty members, deans, trustees, the president, and the other
members of the academic procession, had its origin during the Middle
Ages at the medieval universities . The long black gown, the basic garment
of the academic attire, was worn for warmth and to conceal food and
sometimes wine to be consumed during lecture recesses. The square cap,
the shape of which resembles a book, a mason's mortarboard, or the
quadrangle shape of the Oxford University campus, usually has a black
tassel indicating a bachelor's or master's degree, or a gold tassel indicating
a doctoral degree. The hood, which is the most colorful raiment, was used as
a cowl, a cape, an alms sack or to protect the wearer's wig from the elements.
In modern times, the wearing of academic attire was codified by the
American Council on Education. Contemporary guidelines specify that
the standard color for caps and gowns is black, that the material be cotton
poplin, that there be no trimming on the gowns worn by recipients of
baccalaureate or master's degrees, that the doctoral gown may be faced
with black velvet trim with three bars of black velvet across the sleeves, that
the trimming of the doctoral hood be of velvet and signify the academic area
of the degree, and that the hood lining reflect the official color or colors of
the college or university conferring the degree. The hood trimming color
white designates bachelor of arts; yellow: bachelor and master of science;
magenta: bachelor of science in journalism; drab olive: bachelor and master
of business administration; peacock blue: bachelor and master of public
administration; blue: master of education and certificate of advanced
graduate study in education; and purple: juris doctor (law) degree.
Within certain permissible limits, universities may vary the style and
color of the caps and gowns worn by their graduates. These variations
may be noticed in the academic procession.

Boston, Massachusetts
�Board of Trustees
Suffolk University
Suffolk University is a dynamic urban university with more than 6,500 students of
all ages enrolled in day and evening programs in its College of Arts and Sciences,
Frank Sawyer School of Management and Law School. The University is located on
Beacon Hill in the heart of Boston and is accessible from all parts of the metropolitan
area.
Founded as a law school in 1906, the University developed by adding a College of
Arts and Sciences in 1934 and a School of Management in 1937. On April 29, 1937,
the Law School, College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Management were
chartered as Suffolk University by the Massachusetts General Court. The University
is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.
The Law School, accredited by the American Bar Association and the Association
of American Law Schools, awards the juris doctor (JD) degree to its graduates. The
College of Arts and Sciences awards degrees as the associate in arts (AA),
the associate in science (AS), the bachelor of arts (BA), the bachelor of fine arts (BFA),
the bachelor of science (BS), the bachelor of science in general studies (BSGS), the
bachelor of science in journalism (BSJ), the master of arts in communication (MA),
the master of arts in psychology (MA), the master of arts in interior design (MAID),
the master of science in education (MS), the master of science in computer science
(MSCS), the master of science in criminal justice (MSCJ), the master of science in
international economics (MSIE), the master of science in political science (MSPS), the
master of education (MED) and a doctor of philosophy degree in clinical psychology.
A certificate of advanced graduate study (CAGS) is awarded for study beyond the
master degree in several fields of education and human services. The master of public administration and master of science in mental health counseling (MPA/MS) are
jointly offered by the College of Arts and Sciences and Sawyer School of
Management. The master of science in international economics and the juris doctor
degree are jointly offered by the College of Arts and Sciences and the Law School
(MSIE/JD). The Frank Sawyer School of Management, accredited by AACSB, the
International Association for Management Education and by the National
Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA), conducts
both undergraduate and graduate programs in business. The undergraduate program leads to the degree of bachelor of science in business administration (BSBA).
Graduate programs lead to master's degrees in business administration (MBA) and
public administration (MPA). Special master's degrees offered include the master of
science in accounting (MSA), the master of science in finance (MSF), the master of
science in financial sciences and banking (MSFSB), the master of science in taxation
(MST), the master of science in entrepreneurial studies (MSES), the master of science
in philanthropy and media (MSPM), and the master's degree in health administration (MHA). Undergraduate certificate programs in accounting and a graduate
diploma in professional accounting (GDPA) are offered. The advanced professional
certificate (APC) in business and certificate of advanced study in public administration (CASPA) and certificate of advanced study in finance provide study beyond the
master's degree. Joint Degree programs leading to the bachelor of science in business
(BSBA/JD), master of business (JD /MBA), master of public administration
(JD /MPA) or master of science in finance (JD /MSF) and the juris doctor degrees are
offered by the Frank Sawyer School of Management and the Law School.
Since 1906, when Gleason L. Archer established a law school for working adults,
Suffolk University has graduated close to 40,000 students who have taken their
places in the professional world. Among the University's alumni are some of New
England's outstanding jurists, attorneys, businessmen and women, teachers, writers
and scientists.
During its 94 years, Suffolk University has grown in size and in the scope and
quality of its academic programs. As it develops new programs to meet emerging
needs, Suffolk University remains guided by Gleason Archer's commitment to the
community and to its people, and by a concern for access, success and excellence.

Professor Thomas F. Lambert, Jr. died on December 29, 1999
after a long and distinguished legal career. Tom, as he was
known to generations of trial lawyers and law students,
attended the University of California at Los Angeles where he
excelled as an orator and student leader. Tom's outstanding
scholarship and extracurricular work at UCLA earned him a
Rhodes Scholarship, and after three years of study at Oxford he
received three degrees in 1939. After receiving a fellowship to
study law at Yale Law School, Tom began his law teaching
career at Stetson Law School and became the country's
youngest law school dean at the age of 26. At Stetson, he met
his wife, Elizabeth. Tom left Stetson during World War II to
study at the Columbia School of Military Government, and
later worked as trial counsel at the International Military
Tribunal at Nuremberg, where he served on the staff of
Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson prosecuting Nazi war
criminals. Tom then returned to the United States, teaching at
Boston University School of Law and later assuming the position of editor and chief writer for what is now the Association
of Trial Lawyers of America Law Reporter. For 40 years, Tom
taught and lectured to trial lawyers across the country on the
law of torts. His column, "Tom on Torts," was well-known
across the legal community. In 1980, Tom joined the full-time
faculty at Suffolk University Law School as a Distinguished
Professor of Law and as the first holder of the Thomas F.
Lambert, Jr. Chair. This Chair was endowed by trial lawyers
from across the country for the purpose of carrying on tort
education with the highest distinction. At Suffolk, Tom taught
torts and products liability while he continued to write for the
Association of Trial Lawyers of America and lecture on the
evolution of tort law. Suffolk University salutes the life of this
gifted teacher and scholar.

�ACADEMIC ATTIRE
The academic attire worn during the commencement exercises by the
graduates, faculty members, deans, trustees, the president, and the other
members of the academic procession, had its origin during the Middle
Ages at the medieval universities. The long black gown, the basic garment
of the academic attire, was worn for warmth and to conceal food and
sometimes wine to be consumed during lecture recesses. The square cap,
the shape of which resembles a book, a mason's mortarboard, or the quadrangle shape of the Oxford University campus, usually has a black tassel
indicating a bachelor's or master's degree, or a gold tassel indicating a
doctoral degree. The hood, which is the most colorful raiment, was used as
a cowl, a cape, an alms sack or to protect the wearer's wig from the elements.
In modern times, the wearing of academic attire was codified by the
American Council on Education. Contemporary guidelines specify that the
standard color for caps and gowns is black, that the material be cotton
poplin, that there be no trimming on the gowns worn by recipients of baccalaureate or master's degrees, that the doctoral gown may be faced with
black velvet trim with three bars of black velvet across the sleeves, that the
trimming of the doctoral hood be of velvet and signify the academic area
of the degree, and that the hood lining reflect the official color or colors of
the college or university conferring the degree. The hood trimming color
white designates bachelor of arts; yellow: bachelor and master of science;
magenta: bachelor of science in journalism; drab olive: bachelor and master
of business administration; peacock blue: bachelor and master of public
administration; blue: master of education and certificate of advanced
graduate study in education; and purple: juris doctor (law) degree.
Within certain permissible limits, universities may vary the style and
color of the caps and gowns worn by their graduates. These variations
may be noticed in the academic procession.

�Suffolk University
Suffolk University is a dynamic urban university with more than five
thousand students of all ages enrolled in day and evening programs in its
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, School of Management and Law
School. The University is located on Beacon Hill in the heart of Boston and
is accessible from all parts of the metropolitan area.
Founded as a law school in 1906, the University developed by adding a
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in 1934 and a School of Management
in 1937. On April 29, 1937, the Law School, College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences and the School of Management were chartered as Suffolk University by the Massachusetts General Court. The University is accredited by
the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.
The Law School, accredited by the American Bar Association and the
Association of American Law Schools, awards the juris doctor (JD) degree
to its graduates. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences awards degrees as
the associate in arts (AA), the associate in science (AS), the bachelor of
arts (BA), the bachelor of science (BS), the bachelor of science in journalism (BSJ), the bachelor of fine arts (BFA), the bachelor of science in general
studies (BSGS), the master's in education, the master of science in political
science, the master of science in international economics and the master of
science in communication. A certificate of advanced graduate- study (CAGS)
is awarded for study beyond the master's degree in several fields of education and human services. The School of Management, accredited by the
American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and by the
National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration
(NASPAA), conducts both undergraduate and graduate programs in business. The undergraduate program leads to the degree of bachelor of science
in business administration (BSBA). Graduate programs lead to master's
degrees in business administration (MBA) and public administration (MPA) .
Special master's degrees offered include the master of science in accounting
(MSA), the master of science in finance (MSF), the master of science in
· taxation (MST), and the master's degree in health administration (MHA).
Undergradate certificate programs in accounting and a graduate diploma in
. professional accounting (GDPA) are offered. The advanced professional
certificate (APC) in business and certificate of advanced study in public
administration (CASPA) provide study beyond the master's degree. Programs
leading to the bachelor of science in business (BSBA/JD) or master of business (JD /MBA) or master of public administration (JD /MPA) and the juris
doctor degrees are jointly offered by the School of Management and the
Law School.
Since 1906, when Gleason L. Archer established a law school for working adults, Suffolk University has graduated close to 40,000 students who
have taken their places in the professional world. Among the University's
alumni are some of New England's outstanding jurists, attorneys, businessmen and women, teachers, writers and scientists.
During its 89 years, Suffolk University has grown in size and in the
scope and quality of its academic programs. As it develops new programs
to meet emerging needs, Suffolk University remains guided by Gleason
Archer's commitment to the community and to its people, and by a concern
for access, success, and excellence.

�ACADEMIC ATTIRE
The academic attire worn during the commencement exercises by the
graduates, faculty members, deans, trustees, 't he president, and the other
members of the academic procession, had its origin during the Middle Ages
at the medieval universities. The long black gown, the basic garment of the
academic attire, was worn for warmth and to conceal food and sometimes
wine to be consumed during lecture recesses. The square cap, the shape of
which resembles a book, a mason's mortarboard, or the quadrangle shape
of the Oxford University campus, usually has a black tassel indicating a
bachelor's or master's degree, or a gold tassel indicating a doctoral degree.
The hood, which is the most colorful raiment, was used as a cowl, a cape,
an alms sack or to protect the wearer's wig from the elements.
In modern times, the wearing of academic attire was codified by the
American Council on Education. Contemporary guidelines specify that the
standard color for caps and gowns is black, that the material be cotton
poplin, that there be no trimming on the gowns worn by recipients of baccalaureate or master's degrees, that the doctoral gown may be faced with
black velvet trim with three bars of black velvet across the sleeves; that the
trimming of the doctoral hood be of velvet and signify the academic area
of the degree, and that the hood lining reflect the official color or colors of
the college or university conferring the degree. The hood trimming color
white designates bachelor of arts; yellow: bachelor and master of science;
magenta: bachelor of science in journalism; drab olive: bachelor and master
of business administration; peacock blue: bachelor and master of public
administration; blue: master of education and certificate of advanced graduate
study in education; and purple: juris doctor (law) degree.
Within certain permissible limits, universities may vary the style and
color of the caps and gowns worn by their graduates. These variations may
be noticed in the academic procession.

�Suffolk University
Suffolk University is a dynamic urban university with more than five
thousand students of all ages enrolled in day and evening programs in its
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, School of Management and Law
School. The University is located on Beacon Hill in the heart of Boston and
is accessible from all parts of the metropolitan area .
Founded as a law school in 1906, the University developed by adding a
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in 1934 and a School of Management
in 1937. On April 29, 1937, the Law School, College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences and the School of Management were chartered as Suffolk University by the Massachusetts General Court. The University is accredited by
the New England Association of Schools and Colleges.
The Law School, accredited by the American Bar Association and the
Association of American Law Schools, awards the juris doctor (JD) degree
to its graduates. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences awards bachelor
of arts (BA) and bachelor of science (BS) degrees in fifteen academic departments and master's degrees in education (MS and Ed.M.) . A certificate of
advanced graduate study (CAGS) is awarded for study beyond the Master's
Degree in several fields of Education and Human Services. The School of
Management, accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools
of Business and by the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs
and Administration, conducts undergraduate programs in business administration leading to the degree of bachelor of science in business administration
(BSBA) and graduate programs in both business and public administration
leading to master's degrees in business (MBA) and public administration
(MPA) . An advanced professional certificate (APC) is offered for study
beyond the master's degree. A joint program leading to the master of public
administration and the juris doctor degrees is offered by the School of
Management and the Law School.
Since 1906, when Gleason L. Archer established a law school for working adults, Suffolk University has graduated close to 40,000 students who
have taken their places in the professional world. Among the University's
alumni are some of New England's outstanding jurists, attorneys, businessmen and women, teachers, writers and scientists.
During its 84 years, Suffolk University has grown in size and in the
scope and quality of its academic programs. As it develops new programs
to meet emerging needs, Suffolk University remains guided by Gleason
Archer's commitment to the community and to its people, and by a concern
for access, success, and excellence.

�ACADEMIC ATTIRE
The academic attire worn during the commencement exercises by the
graduates, faculty members, deans, trustees, the president and other members of the academic procession had its origin during the Middle Ages at
the medieval universities. The long black gown, the basic garment of academic attire; was worn for warmth and to conceal food and sometimes
wine to be consumed during lecture recesses. The square cap, the shape of
which resembles a book, a mason's mortarboard, or the quadrangle shape
of the Oxford University campus, usually has a black tassel indicating a
bachelor's or master's degree, or a gold tassel indicating a doctoral degree.
The hood, which is the most colorful raiment, was used as a cowl, a cape,
an alms sack or to protect the wearer's wig from the elements.
In modern times, the wearing of academic attire was codified by the
American Council on Education. Contemporary guidelines specify that the
standard color for caps and gowns is black, that the material be cotton
poplin, that there be no trimming on the gowns worn by recipients of baccalaureate or master's degrees, that the doctoral degree gown may be faced
with black velvet trim with three bars of black velvet across the sleeves,
that the trimming of the doctoral hood be of velvet and signify the academic area of the degree, and that the hood lining reflect the official color
or colors of the college or university conferring the degree . The hood trimming color white designates bachelor of arts; yellow: bachelor and master
of science; magenta: bachelor of science in journalism; drab olive: bachelor
and master of business administration; peacock blue: bachelor and master
of public administration; blue: master of education and certificate of advanced
graduate study in education; and purple: juris doctor (law) degree.
Within certain permissable limits, universities may vary the style and
color of the caps and gowns worn by their graduates. These variations may
be noticed in the academic procession.

Suffolk University
Annual Commencement
The College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences
and
The School of Management
Sunday, June 9, 1985
at two-thirty o'clock
The Wang Center for the Performing Arts
Boston, Massachusetts
�Suffolk University is a vital and dynamic university with 5,800
students of all ages enrolled full and part time in its College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences, its School of Management and its Law
School. The University is located on Beacon Hill in the heart of
Boston and is accessible from all parts of the metropolitan area.
Founded as a law school, the institution developed by adding
a College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in 1934 and a School of
Management (then College of Business Administration) in 1937.
On April 29, 1937, the Law School and two Colleges were
chartered as Suffolk University by the Massachusetts General
Court.
The Law School awards the juris doctor degree to its graduates
and is accredited by the American Bar Association and the
Association of American Law Schools. The College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences awards the bachelor of arts and bachelor of
science degrees in fifteen academic departments and the master's
degree in education. A certificate of advanced graduate study
program is offered to persons with the Master's Degree in office
technologies and administrative services, counseling, and leadership.
The School of Management conducts undergraduate and graduate
programs in both business and public administration, as well as
Saturday master in business administration and master in public
administration programs for executives. An advanced certificate
program is offered to holders of the master of business administration
degree, and a joint master of public administration and juris doctor
degree is offered by the Law School and the School of Management.
The Suffolk University Army ROTC Program, established in 1981,
has grown from an initial participation of four students to a 1984-85
school year enrollment of sixty cadets. Today is doubly significant for
Suffolk University as seven of its graduates were commissioned this
morning as Second Lieutenants in the U.S. Army. Commissionees
are identifiable in the Program by the title, "2L T, USA" following
their names.
Since 1906 when Gleason L. Archer established a law school for
working adults, Suffolk University has graduated over 29,000
students who have taken their places in the professional world.
Among the alumni are some of New England's outstanding jurists,
attorneys, businessmen and women, teachers, writers and
scientists.
In the summer of 1981 the University opened the twelve-story
Frank Sawyer Building at Eight Ashburton Place. The University's
other facilities near the State House, include the Archer Building
(1921), the Frank J. Donahue Building (1966) and the John E. Fenton
Building (1972). In addition to small buildings being used for faculty
offices and student activities, the University operates a scientific
field station at Cobscook Bay in Maine.
During its 79 years, Suffolk has grown in size and in the scope
and quality of its academic programs. As it develops new programs to meet emerging needs, Suffolk University remains guided
by Gleason Archer's commitment to the community and to its people.

�ACADEMIC ATTIRE
The academic attire worn during the commencement exercises
by the graduates, faculty members, trustees, deans, president and
other members of the academic procession, had its origin during the
Middle Ages at the medieval universities. The long black gown,
which is the basi . garment of academic attire, was worn during that
period for the utilitarian purposes of warmth and to provide a personal
depository for food and sometimes wine to be consumed during
lecture recesses. The cap, shaped to resemble a book, the mortar
board of a master craftsman, or the quadrangle shape of the Oxford
Campus, usually has a black tassle indicating a bachelor and master
degree, or a gold tassle indicating a doctoral degree. The hood,
which is the most colorful raiment, was used as a cowl, a cape, an
alms sack or as a wig protector from the elements.
Modern times has seen the codification of academic attire
beginning in the United States at a conference held in the late 1800's
at Columbia University. This code was reviewed in 1932 and in 1959
by the American Council on Education resulting in contemporary
guidelines. Contemporary guidelines indicate that the recommended
color for the caps and gowns is black, that the material be cotton
poplin, that there be no trimmings for the baccalaureate or masters
degrees, that the doctoral degree gown may be faced with black
velvet trim and that three (3) bars of black velvet be placed across
the sleeves and that the hood linings of all degrees reflect the official
color(s) of the college or university conferring the degrees, and that
the trimmings of the hood be of velvet and would signify the academic
area of the degree. For example: the hood trimming color white
designates bachelor of arts; yellow - bachelor and master of
science degrees; magenta- bachelor of science in journalism;
drab olive - bachelor of science and master in business administration degrees; peacock blue - bachelor of science and master in
public administration degrees and blue - master of education
degrees and certificate of advanced graduate study.
Certain variations in the style and color of caps and gowns are
acceptable with the permission of the granting institution and may
be noticed in the academic procession.

AVE, SUFF. LK!
A Hymn:
Words and Music
by
F. MORSE WEMPLE
Price 25 cents
Published by
SUFFOLK UNIVERSITY
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS
�AVE, SUFFOLK!
Hail to thee! _Our Alma Mater,
At thy shrine, we honor thee.
Thou hast fostered our ambition,
Stalwart now our fealty.
When alone we tread life's journey,
Thine the star that guides our way.
1n our hearts thy name resounding:
S-U-F-F-0-L-K !
When the tocsin sounds for duty,
Wrongs to right, the weak to fend ,
In the spirit of our founder
Valiant, we the foe shall rend.
Never shall our colors falter
In the forefront of the fray,
Stout of heart, thy loyal legion:
S-U-F-F-0-L-K !
We who now thy praise~. singing
Soon shall doff the glist'ning shield.
Time may weaken sturdy sinews,
But our hearts shall never yield.
Other hands may bear thy standard
And the shock of battle stay;
Still invincible our courage:
S-U-F-F-0-L-K !

F
ive years and four
presidents later, the
programs put in place
by Suffolk University’s former
Sustainability Coordinator
Erica Mattison have all but
disappeared.
Among Mattison’s projects
that are no longer active at
Suffolk is the Eco Ambassador
program that allowed students to
work in their own residence halls
and serve as environmental peer
educators.
“One of the things that
saddens me [about not having
the programs] is that this is a
teachable thing. It’s not just that
you’re doing this for the greater
good, but you’re actually training
people to think in a particular
way,” reflected Emeritus
Professor Martha Richmond in
an interview with The Suffolk
Journal on Tuesday.
In a statement to The Journal,
Mattison discussed the positive
impact of the engagement her
programs fostered between
students, faculty and campus
groups. The Suffolk Bikes
program and the Suffolk
Environmental Clubs were
two examples of these positive
impacts.

The year is 1972. A
Boston University student,
Joe Hoeffel, is headed
up to New Hampshire to
campaign for then-U.S.
Senator George McGovern’s
presidential campaign. A
country apart and a world
away, Stephen Kuykendall
is preparing for his second
tour in Vietnam in the
midst of the country’s
most controversial war.
Both of these men would
go on to become members
of Congress.
At
a
lunch
with
government majors on
Tuesday, Kuykendall said
“Sometimes [in Congress]
the only thing we had in
common is that we’re both
elected.”
Hoeffel quickly chimed
in “And you have to respect
that!”

Student’s class research project results in cutting-edge exploration,
including hands-on experience at Mass General Hospital

“
If you want
people to
want to go
to space and
explore and
colonize, you
have to make
it safer.
-Paul Johnson,
a McNair Scholar
and aspiring
radiation engineer
Students of Suffolk’s
Physics
Department
are
forefronting
an
ongoing
mission
just
like Armstrong through
the group’s astronomical
research at Mass General
Hospital
(MGH)
in
the Clark Center for
Radiation
Oncology.
With the aspiration to
safeguard
astronaut
space travel, the students
have
challenged
one
of the most significant
issues for astronauts in
outer space: radiation.
Using methods that could
eventually be adapted
for the shielding of
space radiation, students
have been performing
measurements
to
determine the radiation
dose from neutrons using
equipment also used for
the treatment of cancer
patients.
Originally
proposed
as the “Mars Mission
Radiation”
project,
the name switched to
the
“Suffolk
Neutron
Scattering
Project”
once it was determined
that
Mass
General’s
equipment could be used
as a radiation source, an
essential component for
the group’s research on
neutrons. The project
started
from
scratch
when four senior physics
majors set out to search
for specifics on radiation
The group’s inquiries
about Mars focused on the
Mars project, NASA’s goal
of establishing human
settlement on Mars in the
2030s. One of the major
concerns through this
ongoing endeavor has
been radiation exposure
and planetary rovers have
been sent out for decades
to gather radiation data
to help protect future
astronauts
The physics project at
MGH was influenced by
Paul Johnson, a McNair
Scholar
and
aspiring
radiation
engineer.
Johnson’s pinnacle level
of inspiration behind this
major complication of
space radiation not only
established his senior
project, but also lead
the physics group to be
one of the first Suffolk
physics students (outside
of the clinical dosimetry
students) to research at
MGH.
Johnson,
a
nearly
six-year veteran of the
U.S. Army as an Army
Airborne Infantryman for
Long Range Surveillance,
said that his passion for
space radiation developed
during his time at Suffolk
when Dr. Johnson told
his freshman-level class
about the book “The
Martian.”
“It’s [radiation] the
most dangerous part of it
and if you want people to
want to go to space and
explore and colonize and
to focus on space. His
personal investigation for
space radiation began a
year and a half ago when
he proposed the project
and started researching
more about the Mars
project, radiation and
making space safer.
“We’re down the street from
arguably one of the best
hospitals on the planet.”
what not, you have to
make it safer,” said Paul
Johnson.
Having an interest in
renewable energy toward
the end of his time in the
army, he also realized
the lack of political and
economic
involvement
towards technology and
decided that he wanted
“I realized that space
exploration and putting a
colony of humans on Mars
is kind of a way to show
everybody that we’re all
the same species...and it’s
a sort of project where
everybody is going to be
able to come together,”
said Paul Johnson.
In what began during
�THESUFFOLKJOURNAL.COM
SUFFOLKNEWS@GMAIL.COM
3 FEB 28, 2018
the fall 2016 semester, the
Suffolk physics group’s
research at MGH officially
began last summer in
June. Dr. Walter Johnson,
head of the physics group
at Suffolk, made the
team’s research possible
by connecting with MGH
Medical Physicist and
adjunct faculty within
the Suffolk Radiation
Science, Dr. David Gierga,
and Jacky Nyamwanda,
Medical
Dosimetry
Education
Coordinator
for Suffolk University.
“If we were out in the
middle of nowhere, this
wouldn’t be happening,
but we’re down the street
from arguably one of
the best hospitals on the
planet,” said Dr. Johnson.
Senior Mario Rojas, a
project leader along with
Paul Johnson, said that
his affinity for carrying
out his type research is
the teamwork and team
building involved.
“I think one of the
aspects that really got to
me was the team effort
and one of the human
aspects of bringing us
together as a department,
working on a common
goal,” said Rojas.
To prepare for how
they would conduct the
project at MGH, various
scientific papers were
read about the medical
machinery they would be
working with. Students
were also trained in
radiation
safety
by
Jacqueline A. Nyamwanda,
Educational Coordinator
for the Suffolk Medical
Dosimetry program.
“It was almost like
starting
from
scratch
because we didn’t know
much about it.” said Paul
Johnson.
Before
even
considering MGH as a
means to conduct the
proposed research topic,
Johnson said that the
major
challenge
was
figuring out how the
project would be carried
out.
“The worry was, okay,
if we want to measure
something,
how
are
we going to do it? You
need a neutron beam if
you’re studying neutrons.
Where are you going to
get neutrons?” said Dr.
Johnson. “That’s when I
went over to MGH and
asked them if we could
use their machines when
they’re not being used for
treatment.”
The physics group was
granted access to use a
linear accelerator (LINAC)
as the radiation source.
The LINAC is used in a way
that generates neutrons,
and measurements have
been performed to map
the neutron dose within
the LINAC room.
Senior Allen Alfadhel,
believes
that
this
radiation experiment is
by far the best, due to his
past experience in several
research projects during
his sophomore year.
“It’s the most involved
in physics and the most
complicated. It has the
computer part which I like
and it has the physics part
which I also like and then
art as well. It’s like the
things I’ve been studying
and have been practicing
all my life really,” said
Alfadhel.
Alfadhel’s
primary
role within the project is
design of apparatus for
the detectors and helping
to determine the actual
spectrum of the high
energy particles.
Along
with
the
facilitation of Gierga and
Nyamwanda, the physics
group has the privilege of
using, one of two LINACS
at MGH that produce the
highest energy (15 million
electron
volts
(MeV))
necessary for creating
the
largest
possible
number
of
neutrons.
The MGH partnership
with Suffolk’s Radiation
Therapy
and
Medical
Dosimetry program for 23
years was a vital resource
in making the physics
neutron radiation project
attainable.
Dr. Johnson suggests
that limited neutron data
have been published for
newer linear accelerators
and these measurements
may be useful for the
broader radiation therapy

PRESIDENTIAL TICKET
Robb on the job
Get lit with GRIT
By Josh Cronin
By Tara Murphy
From ROBB - 1
From TRUPIANO - 1
in a recent interview with The Suffolk Journal.
Robb acknowledged the long-standing issues that impact a great deal of
Suffolk students and said she plans to work on resolutions before aiming to
tackle even more. Securing space for students to have club meetings, classrooms
and a more suitable theatre for university performances are at the top of Robb’s
list.
She explained that she seeks to “inspire the way I [she] was inspired” when
she first joined SGA. Having held positions in the organization as a senator,
committee chair and her current role on the executive board, Robb’s experience
has allowed her insight on a vast array of jobs that SGA conducts.
As someone that has stressed the importance of connecting personally with
each member of SGA if elected president, Robb said she wants to make sure each
student is able to express themselves uniquely.
“We all know you have strength in numbers, but each individual student
should have as much attention as 10 students or five students,” said Robb. “If
one specific student has a concern or a need that needs to be fulfilled, that
should be done.”
SGA is an organization that regularly conducts meetings with members of
Suffolk administration. Being a voice for the students isn’t enough for Robb,
who said she wants to help SGA become a voice of introduction- to bring the
students to the administration if they have grievances that need addressing.
I just want to make sure I’m hearing other people and I’m working on their
behalf,” said Robb. “Nothing fulfills me more than working hard and making
sure that someone else feel good and that their life is a bit easier.”
should bend our way as opposed to us bending for them.”
As treasurer and having held positions on both the finance and academics
committee as well as the SGA Review Board (SGARB), Logan said he has seen
“just about everything” one can see as a member of SGA.
As president, mobilization of the student body is just one vision for Trupiano.
By implementing new groups in SGA such as what he calls the “president’s
council” those students who are star pupils would have a chance to showcase
their abilities in areas not confined to the classroom. Additionally, a diversity
council that focuses on inclusion, involving members of the Suffolk community
that may not already be involved in SGA would allow “outsiders” to the process
of student government a greater voice on campus.
“I always do my best to incorporate everyone involved,” said Trupiano. “I
really value the people that are around me and I’ve always tried to create a
culture of positivity and excitement whenever I’m in any type of leadership
role.”
Trupiano said having students involved in the disciplinary process is
important and that tacking on fines to the money Suffolk students already pay
is something he would alter. Additionally, some colleges and universities host
student events that permit alcohol to be consumed while in attendance-- one
key platform for Trupiano.
With elections on the horizon, Trupiano said that this campaign is about
speaking out for the students who aren’t usually spoken about.
Trupiano said he wants to “get more engagement by students and change the
negative attitude that a lot of Suffolk students have on campus.”

“Having said that, I do
not agree with much

Campus recycling recources remain subpar
From RECYCLE- 1
The former recycling
initiative put in place by
Mattison also allowed
the university to comply
with
laws
like
the
Massachusetts
State
Waste Ban and avoid
penalties, such as fines,
generating
hundreds
of thousands of dollars
of
savings,
Mattison
explained in a statement
to The Journal on Monday.
“Since vacating the
Sustainability Coordinator
position a few years ago,
I have been contacted
by dozens of [Suffolk]
faculty, staff, and students
who have been eager
to see the sustainability
efforts
continue
and
grow,” said Mattison.
After
Mattison’s
departure from Suffolk,
an undergraduate student
Brianna Souza took on a
similar role, but ended
her involvement after less
than a year. This past fall
semester Suffolk formed
the 2018 Sustainability
Committee to address
areas where the university
may be lacking, and where
it is succeeding with its
sustainability
efforts.
This new committee
features staff members
from departments such
as Facilities, Residence
Life
and
Housing,
Sodexo and the Center
for
Urban
Ecology
and
Sustainability.
“The
12-member
committee is examining
where we have had
success and where we
can
make

“Make sure to separate
trash from recycling, as
any trash in a recycling
bin contaminates the
recyclable
material
making it non-recyclable,”
Suffolk
University’s
website stated as of early
Wednesday
morning.
Freshman government
major Augustus Judd,
said he has also witnessed
the lack of dividers
in these trash cans.
“Recycling
on
our
level isn't going to help
out in the end because
that stuff is just going
to be thrown away with
the rest of the trash.
Students can do their
part but the university
also has to do theirs at
the same time,” said Judd.
André Vega, director
of
Construction

Facilities Services, is one
of the 12 members of the
Sustainability Committee.
Vega said to The Journal
last Friday that many of
Suffolk’s past programs
are not currently in use,
and that as a result, the
committee is “essentially
starting from scratch.”
“That definitely sends
mixed messages,” said
Vega. “When you have two
separate holes in one bin,

give anybody a warm

feeling.”

Congressmen on Capitol Hill talk life in the American political machine
From CONGRESS- 1
Kuykendall reflected
on meeting his state
legislator when he was
a city councilor over a
coastal issue that was not
being addressed seriously.
“She didn’t understand
the subject, let alone
how to change it,” said
Kuykendall.
“And
I
said to myself ‘I could
do better than this.’”
Hoeffel’s
political
interests
started
in
Boston
on
George
McGovern’s
1972
presidential
campaign.
“That’s where I fell
in love with politics and
the political process,”
said Hoeffel. “And two
years later I was running
for
the
Pennsylvania
State
House.”
The most memorable
moments in Congress
for
Kuykendall
and
Hoeffel happened when
they
stepped
outside
the
House
chamber.
K u y k e n d a l l
remembered a summer
night after being in
session all day and walking
out onto the Capitol
steps to see fireflies.
“Who ever thought
this kid from Oklahoma
would be here? Those
little fireflies reminded
me of where I had come
from,” said Kuykendall.
While some cynics
will say that Congress
is full of secrets, it is
the enormous, historic
Capitol Building that is
filled with secret places
for members to escape.
“You
need
two
phones!” Hoeffel and
Kuykendall
said
in
unison, when asked about
the intricacies of the job.
More
unknown
in
Washington,
D.C.
are
the
next
steps
for
the
Democratic
and
Republican
parties
following
Trump’s
election.
“The Republican party
needs to recognize the
fact that Trump has been
a user of our brand and
not a very good user
in my opinion,” said
Kuykendall,
“There’s
a whole lot of things
that Republicans stand
for that Trump hasn’t
paid any attention to.”
The
California
Republican signed on to
an October 2016 letter
with several other former
Republican congressman
that disparaged thenRepublican
nominee
Donald
Trump.
“Donald Trump isn’t
really a Republican in my
opinion. Donald Trump
is Donald Trump,” said
Kuykendall.
“He
has
taken the pieces of the
Republican
mechanism
that
benefitted
his
election campaign and
used them masterfully.”
The members agreed
that bipartisanship and
compromise is necessary
in Congress and could
be a way to getting
legislation passed while
avoiding the pitfalls of
appealing
to
Trump.
“If
[Trump]
can’t
cut deals and he can’t
tell
the
truth
and
he’s
diminishing
our
democratic institutions,
that is not providing
leadership,” said Hoeffel,
who released his book
last year “Fighting for
the Progressive Center
in the Age of Trump.”
“As
Democrats,
we can’t get carried
away with anti-Trump
fervor and fever,” said
Hoeffel. “We’ve got to
stick to our knitting;
be fiscally responsible
and then stand for what
Democrats
stand
for,
which is investing in good
programs to help people.”
Hoeffel believes that
Mueller’s
investigation
into Russian meddling
with the Trump campaign
should
not
override
the Democrats’ goals.
He added that Trump
and his base would
likely
label
Mueller’s
investigation as “fake
news” if the results do
not please the president .
“My sense is that
the Democrats should
not be working for
impeachment,”
said
Hoeffel, “but should be
working to beat Trump
at the polls in 2020.”
Both members agreed
that having served in
elected office at all
levels of government,
being a representative
at the municipal level
felt
most
rewarding.
“I
could
change
your life in 90 days in
city government,” said
Kuykendall at a lunch with
government majors on
Tuesday. “In Congress, I
could probably get [a bill]
introduced in 90 days.”
The
congressmen
stressed the importance
of voter participation,
especially
among
young
people
in
today’s political races.
“Someone is going to
win these elections, so you
really, for your own selfprotection, ought to have
some influence over who’s
winning,” said Hoeffel.

IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD
AS THEY KNOW IT
Courtesy of Dan McHugh
Ryan Arel
Asst. Arts Editor
One of the greater flaws
of human existence is the
general apathy felt by
those who are unsatisfied
or disappointed with the
turns life can present.
This can be applied to any
and all walks of life; as
what humans experience
can shape an outlook
on life, personality and
character. It’s easy to see
why burying negative
thoughts and memories,
rather than dealing with
them upfront, is a concept
shared
by
millions
worldwide.
However,
what Suffolk University’s
Performing Arts Office
(PAO) sets out to answer
in their latest stage
performance, is, “if the
world was to end, should
those
thoughts
and
memories end alongside
it, or should they be
breached and solved in
time for apologies and
closure?”
Last Thursday, the PAO
presented “Apocalypso,” a
play by William Donnelly
at
Modern
Theater,
depicting an array of
characters
attempting
to settle scores with one
another before New Year’s
Day. Between Christmas
and New Years’ Eve, the
characters have personal
sets of issues to deal with
in the event the world
does actually end.
To open the show,
a woman named Dora,
played by sophomore
theatre and history major
Courtney Langlais, chants
“I have a message!” The
message being a simple
one: the world is going to
end.
As this proclamation
travels around to the
other characters, they all
rush to settle their debts
with one another before
the New Year - but it is
not so simple, due to a
variety of intertwining
relationships between the
characters.

the characters find
themselves even more
tangled up in problems
amongst themselves than
when they started. Fran
comes clean to Boone
about her relationship
with Gin, Boone runs off
with Fran’s sister Dora
and Gin finds herself
alone on New Years’ Eve
only to spend time with
her sister Cal.
To close out the show,
the characters sit in their
own cliques watching
the ball drop. The stage,
cleverly circled with alarm
clocks reading 12:00 as
the New Year begins, goes
dark over the sound of a
church bell, ringing away
like the old year.

relationships

of Armageddon, facing
them comes not only
as a challenge to the
characters, but come to
go unresolved. A fictional
story, but a possible
reality.
Yet, the first half
of the play tends to be
confusing. The character
relationships
are
not
defined explicitly through
dialogue until the latter
portion of the show,
leaving
the
audience
wondering
who
the
characters are, how they
are related and what
significance they hold
early on in the show.
While there are multiple
“Ah-Ha!” moments in
the second half of the
show, the first half is
lackluster in structuring
the intended plot and the
relationships between the
characters.
Then
there’s
Gus,
played
by
freshman
undecided
major
Patrick Galen Lovelace, a
character who is all but
obsolete for most of the
show, only appearing
in mostly booze-ridden
rants about miscellaneous
topics throughout the set.
The character is only a
key component to the
plot towards the very end
after returning to Fran’s
apartment in search of
Boone to return a wallet
he stole from him in the
beginning of the play,
forcing Gin to realize she
wants to work it out with
Boone.
Disregarding the slow
start and the lack of
character development at
times, “Apocalypso” shows
the very harsh truth in a
fictional setting: coming
clean and fixing issues
between close friends
or family will never be a
simple task.

OPINION
CONTROLLED
An Idaho State Senator loses temper over contraceptives
By Morgan Hume, Journal Staff
Most people try to avoid conversations about sex, due to feeling uncomfortable
or squirmish. It is easier to awkwardly giggle and quickly change the subject.
However, for a politician, being able to discuss issues such as birth control and sex
education in a professional and respectful manner is part of the job description.
Republican Idaho State Senator Dan Foreman did not get that memo.
Currently in the state of Idaho, women can only receive a three-to-four month
supply of birth control per year from their insurance provider. The state is
introducing a new bill that would allow women to be prescribed a year’s worth of
birth control at once, as it is vital that the pills are taken at the same time every
day.
A dozen students from Generation Action, a nationwide college group affiliated
with Planned Parenthood, traveled nearly 300 miles from Moscow, Idaho to Boise
for a scheduled meeting with Foreman. The students were visiting the capital to
lobby for the bill, but the day did not go according to plan.
Foreman suddenly canceled the meeting that morning, but he ran into the
students in the hallway outside his office later that day as the students were
conducting meetings with other state politicians on Feb. 19, according to ABC
News.
Video footage posted on Twitter shows the senator shouting at the students,
saying “I think what you guys do stinks” after stating he was a conservative Roman
Catholic and he believes “abortion is murder.” The students remained calm, but
Foreman still threatened to call the Idaho State Police and have them arrested. At
the very least, those students deserve an apology, but unfortunately Foreman has
no intentions on giving them one.
The following day, Foreman told the Associated Press that he believes his
“response was dead on and people can take exception to that - they're welcome to
their point of view - but I take abortion seriously. It's murder."
Not only did Foreman disrespect the students by yelling at them, but his
statements also made little sense in the context of the situation. He yelled
“abortion is murder” but the students were there to discuss birth control and
better sex education on college campuses, two entirely different topics from
abortion. Instead of being willing to listen, Foreman started shouting his stance
on abortion, which was unprofessional and unnecessary.
Politicians are trained to deal with the public, even when faced with difficult
situations or if they disagree with someone. Foreman should have handled the
situation more professionally and there were many other outcomes he could have
shown.
For example, he could have bit his tongue and walked silently into his office, he
could have explained that he did not have time to talk or he could have answered
a few of the students questions respectfully. Instead, he settled on an angry rant
to a group of people who just wanted a calm discussion about the bill.
Despite Foreman’s comments, Idaho seems to be making a step in the right
direction with this bill. Idaho is the 11th state to introduce a law allowing women
a 12-month supply of birth control. However, there should be more than 11 states
with laws like this implemented because all women in the United States deserve
to have accessible birth control.
In addition to helping prevent unwanted pregnancies, many women take
birth control to ease menstrual cramps, get rid of acne and balance their levels
of estrogen. Birth control pills can also help women with Primary Ovarian
Insufficiency or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, in which they need the medication to
regulate their hormones and reproductive organs.
To put it simply: If women have no hassle in getting prescriptions for other
illnesses or medical issues, why is birth control any different? Although one of
the uses of birth control is to prevent future unwanted pregnancies, it is not the
same idea as abortion.
Student advocacy groups such as Generation Action deserve to have their voice
be heard without a screaming match or the door being slammed in their face. It’s a
shame that they were treated with a level of disrespect that is low for the average
person, let alone a state Senator.

President
Editor’s Word
It has come to the attention of
our team of student journalists
that our University has a serious
problem. Throughout the years,
few staff members have been
rumored to have engaged in
inappropriate relationships with
students, while others have been
caught in the act. These staff
members, namely men, have
used their positions in power to
coax students. This is a culture
long developing in Suffolk and
that is unacceptable. These power
dynamics are often unclear to the
student, leading them to believe
that what they are engaging in
is active consent. That is not the
case. For the person in a position
of power, the sexual relationship
is less about the sexual desires and
more about the need to dominate
and control.
What is worse than this sexual
culture between staff and
students, is the fact that students
who do recognize that they have
been violated, cannot speak of
their story. This is due to the
stigma that dictates they are not
victims of sexual harassment
or assault, that they have
consented to the relationship
where both parties were on equal
footing. This stigma develops
from interpersonal opinions,
and the policies that prevents
administration, staff and students
from speaking of the matter.
There are those who wish to
speak, but have yet to gather the
courage to tell their story. So as
storytellers ourselves, we implore
you to reach out to one another,
and encourage one another to
brave. Tell your story.
Tell your #metoo moment.
O
versus
Presidential
Shown through the 2016 presidential election, there is a stark difference between being
president and being presidential. Now, what qualifies someone to be fit to run a country?
Alex Gazzani
Journal Contributor
In the past, the image
of a person running for
president
was
about
authority, experience and
respect. But in recent
years, it seems people
have started viewing the
presidential
candidate
as an image of money
and power rather than
someone capable to run a
country.
Someone
with
presidential
aspirations
should have a college
degree. This, however,
does not mean said degree
should be in Political
Science or Government.
A political career can be
built from an English or
Business major just the
same.
It is a matter of
becoming involved in
the political networking
environment and gaining
sufficient experience to
become a part of it.
Ideally,
a
person
running for president
should
have
prior
experience in several
branches of government
such
as
legislature
and
executive
office.
It is important to have
experience in the area
and fully understand how
the governmental system
works. Just like any other
job, one must start from
the bottom to be aware
of the problems and tasks
that come in the basics of
the profession, in order to
get to the top.
An example of work
experiences
could
be
Economic power may
be a useful resource for
the person planning to
run for office. Such with

serving as a Congressman
and perhaps later on as a
Governor. After years of
political affairs, one can
handle the public and the
media as well as internal
and foreign policy.
Although there is an
existing stereotype for
politicians that suggests
they are nothing but
a facade and do not
truly care about the
population, the people
cannot help having an
opinion and a preference
over others. This is why
even though it may be
relative to describing the
“ideal” characteristics of
a presidential candidate,
there are certain aspects
that really stand out.
better propaganda. On
that note, it is important
to mention some of the
characteristics a great
social influencer should
have. First and foremost,
charm
and
excellent
public speaking skills are
essential factors to move
masses.
We want someone to
be transparent on how the
government is handling
internal and external
affairs. A person who
stands up for the interests
of the constituency is also
a good qualification to
look for in a candidate.
Lately, there has been
serious talk about several
people that should run
for office that have no
political
experience,
such as Oprah. Before
President Donald Trump,
it would have been
absurd to suggest that
someone with no political
experience would ever
run for president, but
since his inauguration,
the notion that a president
should be qualified for
the job has been lost.
The social influence that
comes hand in hand
with economic power,
definitely came in handy
for Trump.
Inevitably, this has also
affected the credibility
of
the
government,
because not knowing
how to approach several
political
situations
inflicts uncertainty and
skepticism to the citizens.
Even though people
have started talking about
candidacy
for
others
with no experience, it
seems that most of the
population still believe
that a person in such a
high position should be
experienced and should
promote an image of
authority and respect.
Hopefully,
after
the
Trump
administration,
people will go back to the
conventional
candidate
style and elect someone
fit for the job.

effort,
even
after
spending thirty million
dollars on him during
the
last
presidential
election. Trump also acts
as a barrier to reform that
may be deemed extreme
by conservatives, such as
another assault rifle ban.
On the left, people
have
to
recognize
that reform needs to
occur over time. If the
banning of bump stocks,
age limit increase,and
strengthening of federal
background
checks
become legislative reality,
then Trump would have
done more than Obama
on the issue. This also
positions
the
next
Democratic President to
have a foundation upon
which to enact further
reform aimed at curbing
gun violence.
A grand compromise
on gun control is the
first step that lawmakers
need to take, but it is a
monumental step that
politically benefits all
sides.
Trump gets a bipartisan

Lady Rams fall in championship
Don Porcaro
Journal Staff
After a 21-7 season,
the Lady Rams fell to
St. Joseph's College on
Saturday afternoon in the
Great Northeast Athletic
Conference
(GNAC)
Championship
game
73-59. The trip marked
the fifth time in Lady
Rams history the team
has played in a GNAC
Championship.
Despite
the
loss,
Suffolk
University
finished the season with
the most wins since the
2013-14 season. The 201213 season was the last
time the Lady Rams made
the GNAC Championship,
where
they
fell
to
Emmanuel College 6845. During that year, the
Rams finished 23-8.
“Making it to that
final game has been
our goal every year. We
haven't done it since
I've been here so it was
really special to do it as a
senior. It just showed that
our hard work paid off
and we can beat anyone
on any given day,” said
senior captain Alex Nagri
in an interview with The
Suffolk Journal.
The
highlight
of
Suffolk’s
Championship
run came in the semifinal
game against Emmanuel
College.
The
No.
3
Lady Rams upset No. 2
Emmanuel 73-68. This
marked the second time
in program history the
team has beat the Saints.
The
win
was
highlighted in doubledoubles
by
both
sophomore forward Alexis
Hackett and senior guard
Georgia Bourikas. Hackett
added 13 points and 13
rebounds while Bourikas
led the way with 21 points
and 14 rebounds.
“Emmanuel has always
been a rival of ours,” said
Hackett in an interview
with The Journal. “When
I came in as a freshman,
coach and I made it one
of our goals to beat them.
It was a pretty awesome
feeling. It showed that
our team can play with
and beat anyone.”
Before the playoffs
began, the Lady Rams
were faced with a big
challenge. Starting guard
Nagri went down late
in the regular season
with an ankle injury,
leaving an opening in
the starting lineup and
a depleted bench. Junior
guard Marissa Gudauskas
filled in nicely for Nagri,
which included a 10point and four-rebound
performance in the Lady
Rams final regular season
game.
“[Nagri’s]
position
isn't an easy one. She is
given many of the tough
defensive
assignments.
My
teammates
and
coaches
showed
me
endless
support
and
showed they believed in
me,” said Gudauskas in
an interview with The
Journal.
“I
embraced
the
opportunity
that
presented itself, played
my game and had fun.”
Off
the
bench,
freshman guard Rachel
LaSaracina and junior
forward Shannon Smith
logged a majority of the
minutes for the injured
Nagri. Both were able
to add quality minutes
off the bench during the
68-46 quarterfinal win
over Johnson and Wales
University.
During the quarterfinal
game,
starting
point
guard Jenni-Rose DiCecco
scored 23 points and
added six rebounds and
four assists for the Lady
Rams. Hackett was also
a game-changer, as the
sophomore
added
14
points and pulled down a
season-high 19 rebounds,
17 of them on the
defensive end.
The
trip
to
the
quarterfinal game marked
the
23rd
consecutive
season the Lady Ram’s
have qualified for the
tournament. This also
marked the third 20win season in program
history.
“We fought so hard
the entire season and
fought to the end,” said
senior captain Bourikas.
“It wasn't the outcome
we wanted but we have
nothing to hand our heads
about because our overall
season was incredible.”

The Suffolk University

team
looks
to defend yet another
championship
title
after winning a third
consecutive
Great
Northeast
Athletic
Conference
(GNAC)
championship last season.
The Rams season will
be in full swing as the
Rams depart for spring
training,
playing
the
season opener under the
lights against the Albion
Britons at Chain of Lakes
Stadium in Winter Haven,
Florida on March 9.
After an impressive
and
historic
previous
season, averaging more
than seven runs per game,
the Rams were ranked
as the No. 1 team in the
GNAC Preseason Coaches
Poll for the upcoming
season,
beating
out
contenders St. Joseph’s
College of Maine at No. 2,
No. 3 Johnson and Wales
University and No. 4
Lasell College, according
to
Suffolk’s
Athletic
Department’s website.
Regardless
of
the
outcome of the coaches
poll, fourth-year head
coach
Anthony
Del
Prete does not think the
polls matter in Suffolk’s
preparation
for
the
season ahead.
“While the coaches
poll is nice recognition,
the only thing that really
matters is the score at
the end of every game,”
said Del Prete in a recent
interview with The Suffolk
Journal. “Our focus is
going out and competing
and playing at a high level
each and every time out.”
Despite
coming
into this year off of
a
third
consecutive
championship,
winning
three in a row isn’t
enough for senior pitcher
and finance major Mark
Fusco.
“Obviously
our
time.”
Although the team
hardly failed to put up
runs last season, Del
Prete has high hopes for
the Rams, but believes
the team will achieve

ultimate goal is to win
the championship,” said
Fusco in an interview
with The Journal. “But
right now we’re just
trying to show up and
be better than we were
the day before. Our focus
right now is one day at a
even more with good
performances
on
the
mound and base paths.
Last year, the team’s
pitching staff posted a
collective 4.67 ERA and
offensively
collected
a .298 team batting
average, 12 home runs
and scored 326 runs in
just 45 games.
“I think our success
in the NCAA Regional
Tournament
showed
we can compete at the
national level and have
a chance to win each
time we take the field,”
said Del Prete. “Overall, I
think from top to bottom
our pitching needs to be
consistent and we need
to do a better job running
the bases in order to
manufacture more runs
and be more dynamic
offensively.”
The team will be led
by redshirt senior Fusco,
senior Brady Chant and
senior Greg Speliotis, each
returning for this season.
Fusco will continue his
presence on the mound,
while
Speliotis
and
Chant will continue to
contribute offensively.
Although
a
fifthyear senior, in Fusco’s
sophomore
year
he
underwent Tommy John
surgery, which led to
taking that season off and
retaining his eligibility to
play for the 2018 season.

we’ve been able to get
outside a few times over
the last couple weeks
which is huge for us before
going down to Florida,”

Notable mass shootings in the US since 2009*
Suffolk University’s Student Government Association (SGA) has sent out more than one Firearm Survey in recent years, with one dating
back to 2009. At that time, Suffolk students had a general consensus of not approving the Suffolk Police Department (SUPD) being
armed. In the most recent survey that was sent to the Suffolk community on Dec. 13, 2017, it displayed different results as nearly 54
percent of the population that completed the survey said they would feel safer within the university’s area if sworn SUPD officers were
armed. Some of the below statistics were of incidents that occurred in houses of worship, elementary and high schools, universities,

Two
hundred
and
thirty-eight.
That’s
the number of school
shootings that occurred
since Dec. 14, 2012,
when a small town in
Connecticut
felt
the
violent impact of a
gunman who claimed the
lives of twenty innocent
children and seven adults.
A total of 121 victims had
lost their lives in school
shootings since, according
to The New York Times.
Up until last week.
Last Wednesday the
nation
watched
and
mourned
as
reports
poured in from Parkland,
Fla. about the 239th
school shooting since
Sandy Hook. Seventeen
people were killed in
this most recent attack.
One teacher died trying
to lock the door of his
classroom.
A
fifteenyear-old student perished
holding open a door for
others to evacuate. Now
the number of deaths has
risen to 138.
The question many are
asking: at what point will
these school shootings
spark
change
instead
of being looked at as
another statistic?
“There’s
nothing
stopping anyone from
just walking in and
adding Suffolk to the
list of school shootings,”
said Vice President of
Rampage Show Choir and
Social Media Manager
of the Performing Arts
Office Kevin Landers in a
recent interview with The
Suffolk Journal.
The United States’
history with gun violence
is far-reaching. Americans
own 270 million firearms,
around
90
weapons
for every 100 people,
according to the Giffords
Law Center to Prevent
Gun Violence. The United
States has a gun homicide
rate that is 25 times more
than other countries such
as Denmark and Germany.
On any given day, four
Americans per hour will
die by a gun, according
to the Centers for Disease
Control.
One
response
at
Suffolk appears to be
increased support for
equipping members of
the Suffolk University
Police Department (SUPD)
with firearms. Currently,
none of the 29 trained,
full-time sworn officers
are armed.
A
student
survey
conducted by the Student
Government Association
and scheduled to be
released later this week
was obtained by The
Journal. In the survey,
By Twitter user @ajplus
Students who had survived the Florida school shooting on Valentine’s Day
met with victims of the Orlando Pulse Nightclub shooting before they headed
to the state’s capital to demand gun reform.
53.45 percent of those
who
answered
the
question about arming
SUPD said they would
“definitely” or “probably”
feel safer if university
police
were
armed.
In
comparison,
35.18
percent said they would
“definitely” or “probably”
not feel safer.
Support
for
the
proposal to arm officers
has jumped since 2009,
when a similar survey
asked Suffolk students
if they believed SUPD
should be equipped with
firearms, according to SGA
President Dan Gazzani in a
recent interview. Gazzani
told a Journal reporter
that an “overwhelming”
amount of students were
against arming SUPD per
documents from the 2009
survey.
SUPD has often worked
with
Boston
Police
Officers to communicate
strategies and procedures
necessary
to
prepare
for an event of such
magnitude. But it is clear
that support for arming
the officers is gaining
favor.
This past fall, Student
Government Association
Senator Dan Redznak, a
sophomore majoring in
criminal justice, began
to draft a proposal to
arm
SUPD
officers.

debate
Hannah Arroyo/ Asst. Sports Editor
From SUPD - 3
senators, former Senator
Matt O’Brien and Res
Life
Senator
at-large
Alexander Marcus, started
the push in the fall.
“I got going on a draft
of a resolution to put
this into action,” Redznak
told a Journal reporter
in a phone interview on
Monday. “We had an open
forum that any student
could come to. We had
SUPD there, Boston PD
there. I drafted up a
rough resolution based
on that.”
Redznak and those
who support his proposal
insist that safety is their
top priority. University
police
officers
often
put
themselves
in
compromising situations,
such as when escorting
students through the
Boston
Common
or
Downtown Crossing at
night.
While
his
primary
concern is safety, Redznak
also said that arming
SUPD officers will give
them greater legitimacy
in the eyes of both
students and the public.
“I think our officers
get kind of overlooked
as second-class officers,”
said Redznak. “I know
they’re the subject of a
lot of jokes and stuff. I
think part of what this
resolution does is send a
message that our officers
are to be taken seriously,
as seriously as they are on
other campuses.”
Across
campus,
some students reflected
Redznak’s
position.
Freshman Chris Anderson
told Journal reporters
that he believes arming
SUPD
would
provide
a sense of safety to
students, and would be
adequately prepared to
handle any situation at
Suffolk.
“We’re in downtown
Boston, and there’s a lot
of suspicious charters
that I walk by everyday,”
said Jack Graves in a
recent interview with
The Journal. Graves is
a sophomore majoring
in law who supports
arming SUPD officers.
“My
roommate
and
some other friends saw
someone get shot across
the street.”
Not
everyone
has
shown
support
for
arming
SUPD.
Some
students interviewed by
The Journal expressed
apprehension when faced
with the prospect of armed
officers on campus. Some
questioned the necessity,
while others believed it
could lead to heightened
tension of interactions
with the officers.
“I don’t want it to
be
escalated,”
said
Psychology Club President
Mykala Luk. “We’ve seen
how bad things can go
with police officers with
guns. I feel like at a
school there’s too much
to risk. Not that they’re
unqualified or anything,
but I feel like it’s too
risky.”
Others
expressed
doubts following a spate
of negative interactions
between
police
and
people of color.
“We have qualified
officers who are already
conducting so much police
brutality
[nationwide].
It
would
make
me
uncomfortable,”
said
Leighsandra
Sheppard,
vice president of Sisters
on the Runway. “And
I know it would make
the black community at
Suffolk uncomfortable.”
Not
every
student
was so clear cut in their
answers. Some saw the
merits of both sides,
trying to balance the need
for a safe atmosphere with
a general unease about
firearms on campus. A
smaller percentage of
11.37
who
answered
the question in the SGA
survey regarding arming
SUPD answered that they
“might or might not” feel
safer.
THE Suffolk Journal
“I’ve mulled it over
and
had
discussions
with
several
people
about it, and there are
good arguments for and
against it. And I don’t
just say that to say that,
I say that because on
one hand, SUPD are
trained
professionals,”
said Matthew Cubetus,
president of the Suffolk
University
College
Democrats. “That being
said, I don’t see the
necessity for them to
have them.”
Whether or not the
issue will become divisive
as the process continues
remains to be seen.
Redznak assured Journal
reporters that the process
will be a transparent one,
drawing on comments
and
feedback
from
students, faculty, and
administrators.
“We were elected to
represent the students. I
know this is my bill, but
if the general consensus
is no, we have to respect
that. At the end of the day
it’s about the students. So
if they’re not comfortable
with that yet, then there’s
really not a lot that we
can do.”
But for some, including
sophomore
Aaron
Hebron, the decision to
arm campus officers is a
clear one.
“Living and going to
school in the middle of the
city, there’s a lot of things
that could go down really
quickly,” said Hebron in a
recent interview with The
Journal. “It only takes a
second for someone to
harm you with a gun. The
police will get here fast,
but not fast enough. If
SUPD were armed, we’d
have more protection.”

Mueller takes aim at Russia
Indictments in Russia-Trump probe continue rolling
Alexa Gagosz
Editor-in-Chief
Special Counsel Robert
Mueller’s office released
a 14th indictment that
targeted
the
Dutch
attorney Alex van der
Zwaan
on
Tuesday
morning in relation to
the investigation into
Russia’s meddling with
the United States’ 2016
presidential election.
The
indictment
accused van der Zwaan of
making false statements
to the FBI “willfully and
knowingly,”
including
communication
with
lobbyist and American
political consultant Rick
Gates and an individual
labeled
as
“Person
A,” according to the
indictment.
The
Russian
government
denied
that it meddled in the
Donald Trump campaign
during
the
Kremlin’s
first remarks on Monday
after the first wave of
13
Russian
nationals
were
indicted
Friday.
The charges against the
Russian nationals were
on charges of conspiring
to defraud the U.S.,
according to multiple
news reports.
Spokesperson
for
Russian
President
Vladimir Putin, Dmitry
Peskov, told BBC News
that
the
indictments
provided “no substantial
evidence”
of
Russian
interference.
As

“The evidence has

news broke of van der

interviews
with
The
Suffolk Journal. Korolev
told a Journal reporter
that Russian citizens, as
Hillary Clinton. However,
this same support may
not have trickled into
the Trump presidency,
according to Korolev.
“One of the major
reasons
for
that
is
simply because Clinton
had expressed herself
rather hostile toward
Russians, whereas Trump
has always been fond
of Russians and wanted
to extend our beneficial
business partnership. The
Russian media also did
a fine job of portraying
Trump in a much better
light,” said Korolev. “But
that was a year ago.”
Mueller laid out the
charges
against
the
Russian nationals as well
as three Russian entities
on Friday, according to
multiple reports.

organization

Agency
began
interference
that included the 2016
elections, according to
the indictment.
The Russian nationals
had allegedly posed as
citizens of the U.S. and
operated social media
pages and groups that
would attract American
audiences under false
personas. Two of these
Russians are said to have
traveled to the U.S. in
2014 in order to gather
intelligence
for
such
operations, according to
Mueller’s indictment.
For
sophomore
PPE
major
Geoffrey
Scales, who has actively
identified as a Trump
supporter said that the
recent indictments serve
as a telltale sign that
“something
happened”
with Russia.
“Whether that be their
own interference in our
election or some sort of
collusion with the Trump
campaign,
the
truth
needs to come out,” said
Scales to The Journal on
Tuesday night. “Whether
President Trump likes it
or not.”
Throughout
the
weekend, Trump went
on a “Tweet storm,” after
the indictments were
released.
“I never said Russia did
not meddle in the election,
I said ‘it may be Russia, or
China or another country
or group, or it may be a
400 pound genius sitting
in bed and playing with
his computer,” Trump
tweeted early Sunday
morning. “The Russian
“hoax” was that the
Trump campaign colluded
with Russia - it never
did!”
White House Press
Secretary Sarah Huckabee
Sanders told reporters
during
a
live
press
conference on Tuesday
afternoon that Trump
“has been very hard on
Russia.”
Trump continued to
look to Twitter in order
to broadcast his opinion
on
the
indictments
throughout
President’s
Day.
“Obama was President
up to, and beyond, the
2016 Election,” Trump
tweeted Monday morning.
“So why didn’t he do
something about Russian
meddling?”
For O’Brien, he said it
is time for Trump to step
up and admit Russia’s
interference.
“Now it’s time for our
president to condemn
Russia for their actions,”
said O’Brien. “If he won’t,
it’s time for the people to
do it for him.”

Mass casualties in Syrian violence
As of Tuesday night, BBC reports the
death toll of the Syrian government rain
down bombs to have reached 250, 50
of whom are children. This has been the
worst violence in the Eastern Ghouta area
since 2013. The area affected included a minimum of
10 towns across Eastern Ghouta, only stopping when
the United Nations called for a ceasefire to allow aid
to those affected as well as the wounded to be taken
to safety. The situation worsened once it was revealed
how hospitals had been reportedly targeted directly,
which may be considered a war crime according to UN
coordinator in Syria, Panos Moumtzis. The hospitals
affected were Marj, Saqba and Douma as they were left
partially functioning, while a hospital in Zamalka and
Arbin completely shut down. This lack of aid added to
a pre-existing shortage of food, with bread now costing
22 times the national average and 12% of children under
five years old being malnourished. This masacre exists
as the Damascus government sent troops to confront
troops from Turkey attempting to push back Kurds in
northern Syria. To force pro-government fighters to
retreat, Turkey fired shells near those advancing. As
Turkey fired these shells, it proves to try to oust the
Kurdish militia, who have control of the area and call
on Syrian military for help. Russia’s foreign ministry
recently confirmed that there were numerous Russian
citizens, as well as citizens of other former Soviet states
were killed or wounded in a recent battle allegedly in
the eastern providence of Deir al-Zour last week.
Nigeria sends first Olympic bobsled team
The three-person team of Seun
Adigun, Ngozi Onwumere and
Akuoma Omeoga are both the
first Nigerian team and the first
bobsled team from Africa. Of the three women,
Adigun has seen the Olympics before, as she
represented Nigeria in the 2012 London games
for the 100-meter hurdles. The team is made up
of Americans, able to represent Nigeria as they
are all born to Nigerian parents. Despite the
milestone for the country, the excitement for
those in Nigeria remains minimal, according to
NPR. “Outside social media, the excitement is
basically zero,” Lagos-based writer Emmanuel
Dairo in an interview with NPR. “Very few
even know there is a winter games going
on, and even fewer care. None of those I’ve
interacted with, online or off, have mentioned
the Nigerian team, never mind the winter
games, even once.” It was stated how in Africa,
football (also known as soccer to Americans)
runs the world, very little attention is paid
to other sports. Due to the lack of support,
Adigun turned to GoFundMe, raising $150,000
dollars to support team expenses and even
starting the Bobsled & Skeleton Federation
of Nigeria. Adigun and her teammates hope
to inspire Nigerians living in colder countries
to represent their parents’ home country of
Nigeria in the Winter Olympics.
Oxfam workers prey on young Haitians
As agencies rush to the aid of struggling
countries, some employees slip through
the cracks of organizations trying to help
and end up just causing we. This is the
reality of Oxfam, as Haitian workers, who had
already warned about the sex scandals happening
with the leaders of the company, bring the truth to
light, according to BBC. Oxfam, along with other
organizations, have been attempting for years to
help Haiti’s sex workers with sexual health clinics
and HIV/AIDS testing programs, for the future
of the young mothers and their infants. It has
recently been unveiled that instead of helping
these victims, the company has been hurting
them since 2011. Men in senior positions in the
company, including country director Roland Van
Hauwermeiren, paid local prostitutes, some of
which were majorly underage, for sex. This action
proved that these men, were “exploiting some of
the most vulnerable people in the poorest country
in the Americas, all while being paid to advocate
for their well being” according to BBC. Employees
of Oxfam, who were concerned about their future
of the company were unable to speak on the matter
openly, as their employment was threatened. This
scandal mimics that of UN peacekeepers, who
had multiple accusations of rape and past cases
of abuse when they were sent to “aid” Haiti.“This
is Haiti,” said a previous Oxfam worker to BBC.
“Anything can happen here.

QSU promotes diversity on campus
Felicity Otterbein
Arts & Culture Editor
Perhaps one of the
more active and engaged
groups on campus, the
Queer Student Union
(QSU) has set out to
advocate for the wellbeing
and
inclusivity
of
students
campuswide. According to QSU
President Joe Piemonte,
the group was started
more than 10 years ago
as the Rainbow Alliance,
but has been more active
in the past two years.
“We are a group that
comes together to build
community,
advocate
and educate as our main
focuses,” said Piemonte,
a junior history major in
an interview with The
Suffolk Journal Tuesday
evening.
Piemonte
said
that QSU events and
programming
are
designed to educate and
promote safety amongst
students. Events like Sex
Toys 101, a workshop
on Tuesday night led
by blogger Sarah Brynn
Holliday, are developed
to
encourage
sexual
freedom and education
for those who continue
to explore sexuality and
identity. The group was
also responsible for the
recent displaying of the
AIDS quilt in the lobby
of Sawyer in order to
promote education about
World AIDS Day.
“We talk about current
political issues or current
events, and then what
the future holds and for
programming on campus
and what people would
like and if we should
continue
with
what
we had in mind on the
e-board,” said Piemonte.
One of the more
recent events Piemonte
“We work with other groups in
order to make sure that people
are being treated fairly or if they
have questions on guidance, we
want to be a resource to them.”
- Joe Piemonte
QSU President
was particularly proud of
was the first-ever Second
Chance Prom, which took
place Friday in the Nancy
Stoll room. Geared toward
students who experienced
a high school prom in a
way that made them
feel uncomfortable or
incapable of expressing
who they were, Second
Chance Prom allowed
students to have another
opportunity to experience
prom in a way that they
envisioned and with who
they envisioned going
with.
“The whole reason we
put it on was kind of as
a ‘do-over’ at prom, and
your second chance to
go to prom with who you
wanted or what types of
articles of clothing you
picked to express how
you looked, any type of
that - was what we were
trying to get at. It was a
‘Be Yourself’ prom,’” said
Piemonte.
According to Piemonte,
the goal of the QSU events
set out to build a bigger
community. He feels as
though these events offer
opportunities to meet
new students and invite
them to experience other
events, programming and
general meetings.
While the group itself
is comprised of students
who
are
educated
in terms of LGBTQ+
events, terminology and
information,
Piemonte
said they try to continue
TO BE allies inside and
out of the classroom.
“We work with other
groups in order to make
sure that people are
being treated fairly or if
they have questions on
guidance, we want to be a
resource to them. We also
are a resource to faculty
and administrators, so if
anybody has a question

they can easily ask us,”
said Piemonte.
He also included that
students are not alone
when seeking information
about
inclusivity
and
diversity around campus.
Piemonte
said
that
both deans and faculty
have approached QSU
members with questions
about what appropriate
sentiments to include in
classroom
discussions,
as well as what kinds of
language to avoid in order
to remain inoffensive and
correct.
“We work with the
Center
for
Student
Diversity and Inclusion a
lot. Most of our events are
co-sponsored with them,
and our monthly family
dinners are held in there.
Every last Monday of the
month we have dinner in
there,” said Piemonte.
The Center for Student
Diversity and Inclusion
does host other groups,
but
Piemonte
noted
that he feels that they
occasionally get favored
because their advisor is
Assistant Cam Briether.
“[Cam] is always like
“well we’re a resource
too!’ It’s a joint thing,
Cam can always answer a
question but sometimes
if Cam thinks that I
or somebody else can
answer a question, they’ll
push it to someone else,”
said Piemonte.
Breither declined to
comment and said all
press inquiries should
be directed to university
spokesperson,
Greg
Gatlin.
Piemonte said that QSU
has worked with other
groups and organizations
on campus, and while it

QSU President
has historically been with
cultural groups, they are
always looking to branch
out and work with other
campus groups.
“We’ve
wanted
to
do something with the
comedy groups to do

themes. But honestly if
anybody has any ideas
we’d love to do them, we
just have never thought
of them,” said Piemonte.

that the group is working

Bad Bunny: Scene from ‘Peter Rabbit’
sparks boycott from angry parents
By Jacquelyn Jarnagin,
Journal Contributor
Sony Pictures “Peter
Rabbit” sparked a major
outrage among parents
of children with lifethreatening allergies on
its opening weekend.
During one particular
scene of the film, Peter
Rabbit, voiced by James
Corden, and four of his
friends come up with an
idea to exact revenge
on their nemesis, Mr.
Tom McGregor, voiced
by
Sam
Neill,
the
gardener. In order to
steal vegetables from
the garden, the rabbits
decide to use a slingshot
to fire blackberries at
McGregor to distract
him. This might sound
like an innocent plan
that would look comedic
on camera — except
Peter and his pals were
fully aware McGregor
has an allergy toward
blackberries.
The
scene
goes
even more downhill
after the rabbits laugh
whilst flinging berries
toward the gardner:
one
blackberry
flies
into McGregor’s mouth,
causing him to choke
and start to go into
anaphylactic
shock.
McGregor pulls out his
EpiPen and injects himself
with it before letting out
a sigh of utter exhaustion.
This is a far cry from
Peter Rabbit, who hid
himself inside a watering
can while Mr. McGregor
tracked him down.
According to The New
Yorker, Kenneth Mendez,
president and CEO of the
Asthma and and Allergy
Foundation of America,
took to social media last
Saturday and delivered an
open letter to Sony and
the filmmakers.
“Making light of this
condition
hurts
our
members
because
it
encourages the public
to not take the risk
of
allergic
reactions
seriously,” Mendez said
in his letter, “and this
cavalier attitude may
make them act in ways
that could put an allergic
“Making light of this
condition hurts our
members because it
encourages the public

& Allergy Foundation of America
person in danger.”
Mendez was not the
only one irked by the
film; by Sunday, hundreds
of parents with allergyprone children took to
social media, criticizing
the movie and voicing
some concerns about
how the movie will
affect the way children
(“Peter Rabbit’s” intended
audience, after all) treat
themselves or others who
have allergies.
A trending subject
on
Twitter
was
#boycottpeterrabbit.
“Someone
I
love
has a food allergy,”
stated Twitter user @
chelybelly02, “it’s not fun,
it’s terrifying especially
when they are children. @
SonyPictures makes a kids
movie and a character is
attacked with a food he
is allergic to and causes
anaphylaxis.”
Some experts have
even chimed in on the
matter.
Dr.
Andrew
Adesman,
chief
of
developmental
and
behavioral
pediatrics
at the Cohen’s Medical
Center in Queens, New
York, spoke to The New
York Times. Adesman
believes
Peter
Rabbit
flinging
blackberries
into McGregor’s mouth
is darker than Wile E.
Coyote pursuing the road
runner because Peter
made light of a serious
condition.
“There’s some research
out there suggesting what
is depicted in this movie
is a real-world experience
for some children with
life-threatening
food
allergies,”
Adesman
told The Times. “I
can
understand
the
outrage.”
In response to the
controversy,
Sony
Pictures
issued
an
apology statement to
parents and children
alike.
According
to
Entertainment Weekly,
the company admitted
they were wrong to joke
about the condition.
“Food allergies are
a serious issue,” Sony
said in a joint email to
The New York Times,
“Our film should not
have made light of Peter
Rabbit's arch nemesis,
Mr. McGregor, being
allergic to blackberries,
even in a cartoonish,
slapstick
way.
We
sincerely
regret
not
being more aware and
sensitive to this issue,
and we truly apologize."

OPINION
No more excuses,
America.
For too long, mass shootings have been written off, with a multitude of answers,
solutions and no action. Now, a solution is past due. It’s time to change.
By Patrick Holmes, Opinion Editor
A
curtain
of
depression in the
United States has
not lifted since
the first mass shooting in
1966, cutting between the
line of progression and
digression.
We are stagnant. We
are complacent to the
deaths of innocent lives
that thought, “It won’t
happen to me.”
Seventeen souls were
lost in Parkland, Florida by
a 19-year-old with a legally
purchased
AR-15.
But
those are just numbers,
right?
It should seem obvious
that politicizing shootings
will
not
benefit
the
tragedy and if anything, it
dehumanizes the victims.
They are just another
statistic added to the
body count, conveniently
transformed into a info
graphic for the world to
judge.
Most people will skim
over the facts without a
second thought besides a “prayer,” soon forgetting
the new reality that the loved ones of the victims will
have to live with and endure on a daily basis.
Please do not forget the lives lost, the dreams
crushed and the futures erased.
This is a plea for the voices that can no longer
speak; the ones silenced by a discharged bullet. This
is for the names that will never be signed again and
the faces left memorialized in photos.
You will be remembered.
But to do so, the society created by the U.S. must
progress. The curtain must be lifted and the prayers
“This is

bullet.”
silenced. Action should be demanded, not requested
and a life should mean more than just a number
scrawled on the incident report.
Mass shootings are not just a gun problem nor
are they just a human problem. There are a plethora
of explanations as to why shootings happen, but to
begin the healing process, society needs to be more
empathetic.
It’s time to expand empathy and sympathy to not
only the people we are close with,
but the entire human race.
To a country unsettled by
innocent deaths, this is not
the end.
Mass shootings are a
product of lenient laws
and careless individuals,
independent
of
their
political
preference.
There is much that can be
achieved by not banning
guns, but creating more
efficient laws around the
purchase
of
firearms.
We should not want to
prohibit
anything
but
rather improve the ways
we buy, use and store
these weapons.
The second amendment
was written before the
development
of
semiautomatic weapons and
developing the technology,
yet the right to bear arms
has not been touched since
it was first written in 1791.
This fact is not dependent
on a political affiliation
and both parties should
consider
revaluation,
especially considering many semi-automatic guns have
been used in mass shootings since 2004, according to
the Washington Post.
“Time is
up, the
curtain must
rise and
action is
mandatory
to save
future
victims
of mass
shootings
because it
is inevitable
that more
will occur.”
Time is up, the curtain must
rise and action is mandatory
to save future victims of
mass shootings because it
is inevitable that more will
occur.
Both society and our
gun laws are to blame for
the deaths of innocent
human beings.
These may not be the
only reasons but it seems
clear that these two
aspects must progress for
any real change to go into
effect.
There
are
many
statistics and psychological
answers that can be
determined by examining
the shootings that have
occurred in the U.S.
Yes, there can be
comparisons
drawn
from
other
countries
and the laws they have
enacted. There are many
explanations to what can
be the answer to mass
shootings.
However,
let’s
encourage
solutions
instead of answers. Let’s find out how to stop it
instead of why it happened. Nothing can be done to
repent the actions of another, but there are steps to
be taken toward terminating these calamities, more
than “thoughts and prayers.”
If we claim to love this country so much, it’s time
to start acting like patriots and keep our citizens safe
within these borders.
“We should
not want
to prohibit
anything
but rather
improve the
ways we
buy, use and
store these
weapons.”

This behavior is currently

university officials that hinder
these attempts at practicing
necessary future skills. It’s
disheartening when we attempt
to feature student work,
groups and voices to only be
immediately silenced by those
who are supposed to pushing
us forward. The ones that we
are supposed to be looking up
to and leaning on for advice
have become the ones who
are now holding us back and
prohibiting us from excelling.
While our experience may
be limited, we get stronger
with practice. In turn, we
are exposed to multiple
channels of communication
and conducting intelligent

A Sequel
From a prior article written from Patrick Holmes published on
Nov. 2, 2016 titled “Signed, a hopeful Suffolk student.”
I still have faith in
my university, even after
more than a year of
standing by and watching
the daily struggle of who
will obtain top position at
Suffolk. Holding onto this
faith has shown to be a
struggle, one that leaves
me concerned with each
passing day, week and
semester.
I would be lying if I said
I was not disappointed.
Higher administration has
taken more than a year to
appoint a new president
and as of Tuesday evening,
one has not been chosen.
With this amount of time
and no stable leadership,
I am a concerned Suffolk
student.
Moreover,
this
university
has
lost
its luster that once
emboldened
me
to
welcome my acceptance
letter. Gone are the
days where I remained a
hopeful Suffolk student,
optimistic
about
the
future of this university
and the many naive
dreams I had for the
future.
Suffolk may look like a
student-driven university
from the facade they
portray but more often
than not, I cross paths
with fellow peers who
do not know the word
“extracurricular.”
The
university recycles the
same
students
into
the multiple clubs and
organizations,
while
a large portion of the
student body seems to
not be involved.
Whether
this
is
because of too many
commuter students, or
lack of guidance and
encouragement
from
campus. As a prior Print
Journalism major, it was
made clear to me that
my education was less
important due to the
rumor that Journalism is a
dying profession and that
Film and Media Studies is
a popular choice among
“Gone are the days
where I remained
a hopeful Suffolk
student, optimistic
about the future of
this university and
the many naive
dreams I had for
the future.”
faculty
and
advisers,
there needs to be a
societal change in the way
students view activities
on and off campus.
The university does
not have clear intentions
for its future but shows
lack of empathy toward
the Communications and
Journalism Department,
supposedly one of the
largest departments on
students. Thank you for
the support, Suffolk.
I
used
to
be
encouraged to pursue
what I wanted but Suffolk
has shown its true colors.
This university seems to
have biased intentions
from every corner of its
walls, playing puppeteer
amongst their puppets,
those who they can
manipulate with silence
or punishment. This can
only go so far.
Suffolk
has
the
potential to be a leading
university and that is
why I still have a sliver of
faith. First, they need to
be transparent with their
students, faculty and staff.
While taking classes on to
study Public Relations,
the number one mistake
that large companies and
organizations make is not
being honest and upfront
with the public; lying
or refusing to answer
will
only
exacerbate
the situation, leaving a
disastrous wake.
Second, students not
only need a voice, but they
need to find it as well.
The current situation and
atmosphere is not entirely
due to the inner workings
of upper administration
but also seems to be the
lack of motivation and
responsibility taken by
many students.
We are what make
Suffolk a university so
it’s past due that students
make a tsunami instead
of a wave. There needs
to be change enacted at
Suffolk and the student
body is where it needs to
begin.
This moment in time
is the tip of the iceberg,
whether Suffolk can pull
itself back together or go
down with the ship. I’m
concerned, but I still have
faith in Suffolk.

Lady Rams leave lasting impression
Graduating seniors seek championship in last run
Brooke Patterson
Sports Editor
The walls of Regan
Gymnasium were dressed
up with posters and blueand-gold streamers as
two women’s basketball
seniors stepped onto their
home court for the finale
of the Lady Rams regular
season.
Co-captains
Alex
Nagri
and
Georgia
Bourikas were honored
at a ceremony prior to
Saturday’s game against
the University of Saint
Joseph’s,
Connecticut,
where the Lady Rams beat
the Blue Jays 80-60.
“It helped this season
that it was our two voices
leading the team because
not only are we the
seniors but we are two
starters,” said Bourikas
in an interview with
The Suffolk Journal on
Tuesday. “I think [the two
of us] helped the younger
girls especially to show
them how [Nagri and I]
came up in this program
together and stayed with
each other and learned
to play well with and for
each other.”
The two Lady Rams
have
contributed
to
the women’s basketball
program’s success with a
combined total of 1,769
points, 688 rebounds and
219 steals. The seniors
made history together
when they both played
in 100 career games for
the Lady Rams on Feb.
1 against Anna Maria
College.
“Playing
sports
in
college takes a special kind
of person. It’s definitely
not for everyone but it
has
definitely
helped
shape me into who I
am today,” said Nagri in
an interview with The
Journal on Monday. “The
competition aspect of
sports has helped me in
more ways than I can
count, but I think that my
teammates and coaches
played a big part in who
I am.”
Nagri has been an
active member on the
Lady Rams roster since
her freshman year, where
she has played in 102
games and notched for
131 career steals. In her
four years as a Lady Ram
Nagri scored the most
amount of points during
her sophomore year. In
her final season, Nagri,
overall, scored 128 points
with a 28.8 three-point
percentage.
Unfortunately
for
the guard, her senior
season ended early with
a sprained ankle injury
that occurred in the
game against St. Joseph’s
College of Maine on Feb.
6.
“I wanted more than
anything to be on the
court playing my last
couple of games but I
have now accepted it
and realized that I can be
helpful on the bench and
still use my leadership
skills to lead the team to
success,” said Nagri.
Bourikas,
a
fifthyear senior, has been a
member of the Lady Rams
for all five years. During
preseason her sophomore
year she suffered from an
ACL injury which put her
out for the entire season,
allowing her to redshirt
and obtain another year
encouraging
everyone
and is always working her
hardest. She has always
been a team-first player
and that shows in her
game.”

forward
Shannon Smith made a
speech prior to the senior
day game on behalf of
Bourikas and the type of
individual and player she
co-captain also has played
in a total of 106 games,
averages 14 points per
game and has started in
all of the Lady Rams’ 26
games this season.
“Overall it has been a
great experience playing
with this team. I have
made some of my best
friends to the point where
it’s like having a second

of eligibility to play.
This was her second
senior day and according
to Bourikas, she is the
first woman in program
history to be recognized
as a senior two years in
a row. She explained how
she debated even being
recognized at this years
senior day, but did not
want Nagri to go out
alone.
“[Bourikas]
makes
everyone better,” said
Nagri. “She is constantly
is.
“She’s the glue to
the norms we preach
here,” said Smith in
front of the family and
friends crowded in the
gymnasium.
The shooting guard
is a prominent member
on the Lady Rams’ roster
who found herself in the
record book for multiple
honors. Bourikas joined
the 1,000-point club this
season and now has a
total of 1,081 points. The
family,” said Bourikas.
With the gymnasium
splashed with decorations
in honor of these two
Lady Rams on Saturday,
it is clear they will be
missed as members of the
team.
Junior guard Marissa
Gudauskas also spoke
before the Lady Rams’
crowd
about
Nagri’s
defense abilities and how
she was able to learn an
abundance of defensive
skills from the senior.
Gudauskas
thanked
her co-captain for her
passion, time and energy
she devoted to the Lady
Rams.
“It will be hard to
replace their roles, they
both have been significant
players on the team their
entire careers,” said Smith
in an interview with The
Journal on Tuesday. “But
next year we’ll have to
have people step up and
take larger roles.”
The two co-captains,
under head coach Ed
Leyden, have led the Lady
Rams 11-women roster to
a winning record of 20-6
this season.
“[Nagri and Bourikas]
are two of my favorite
players that I have ever
had,” said Leyden in
an interview with The
Journal on Tuesday. “Both
[Nagri
and
Bourikas]
are great competitors,
great people and terrific
teammates. [Nagri] is
probably one of the best
competitors that I’ve ever
had and [Bourikas] is one
of the most skilled players
that we’ve ever had.”

seniors

The Suffolk University
men’s basketball team
reached
new
heights
during
the
2017-18
regular season, as they
achieved a milestone that
had not been touched for
more than 15 years.
With a 15-11 record,
the Rams notched their
best regular season record
since the 2001-02 season
and also managed to pull
out nine wins within the
Great Northeast Atlantic
Conference (GNAC), the
most since their 2005-06
campaign.
As a result of their
success in the regular
season, the Rams scored
sixth in the overall
seedings for the GNAC,
which meant they would
have to travel to play
Saint Joseph’s College
of Maine in the GNAC
quarterfinals.
In a nail-biter finish
that came down to the
final seconds, the Rams
edged out St. Joe’s 6965. This would be the
first time the Rams were
able to advance as far as
the GNAC semifinal since
2007 and fourth time ever
in the program’s history.
Junior
guard
and
captain Michael Hagopian
led the way with 25 points
for the Rams. Sophomore
guard Thomas Duffy also
surpassed 20 points for

the 10th time this season.
The core of the Rams
roster will be back for at
least one more season.
The Rams achieved a
strong record with a
young team overall, as the
group does not contain
one senior.
The

mainly stems from players
such as Duffy, who leads

He noted they both had

on how they have helped

the experience we now
have in these situations.”
Juron
had
similar
comments in regards to
the tough times leading
to better paths for the
following season.
“Our group shared
some painful experiences
last season. We competed
hard but came up short
more often than not,”
said Juron. “I think that
experience continues to
motivate the group.”
One major point of
the season came against
Albertus
Magnus
College on the Rams’
home court. The Rams
went up against the
GNAC’s best team and
battled until the very end
until they came within
a fingernails distance
of victory, as they were
edged out 88-84.
Hagopian
believes
the game helped the
team overall in terms of
confidence.
“Competing
with
Albertus Magnus and
almost beating them was
huge for us. Of course, we
weren’t satisfied with the
outcome,” said Hagopian
in a recent interview with
The Journal. “However, it
did prove to us that we
could be really good. It
shows that we are capable
of beating anyone. We
were proud of our efforts
but next time we want to
come out on top.”
Duffy and Hagopian
led the way for the Rams,
both nailing down 27
points for the team.
Hagopian, a third-year
starter, is one of the Rams
oldest players as a junior.
He has started a total of
76 out of a possible 77
games in his collegiate
career.
The
standout
guard has 15 points per
game this season while
maintaining
a
steady
field-goal percentage at
nearly 45.
Hagopian has been
through the ups and
downs of the Suffolk
men’s basketball program
and
is
exhilarated
with
how
the
Rams
h a v e
b e c o m e
resurgent as
of late.
“ T h i s
program had
struggled for a
little while and it
feels amazing to
be a contributor
to its success,”
said Hagopian. “It
definitely
wasn’t
easy, and we’re
nowhere close to
being done. We
haven’t reached all
of our goals.”
Hagopian added
that
the
overall
goal for this team as
they continue their
season into the GNAC
tournament
will
be
to win the league and
make it to the NCAA
tournament.
The Rams have now
won four games in a row,
proving they are gelling
at the perfect time. They
will now play Johnson
and Wales University on
Thursday for the GNAC
semifinal.

Search Committee, led
by frontman and Trustee
John Brooks. “I think we
had moved forward from
that period and so when
I became president, my
entire goal was to resume
the work that I had
started when I was vice
president.”
As a student leader
who began to be apart
of
SGA
during
his
sophomore year as a
senator, the Venezuelan
native has been dedicated
to his work for his
fellow
international
students since he ran
for and clinched the vice
presidency for his junior
year.
Throughout this past
summer and fall semester,
a
string
of
natural
disasters had impacted
the
home
countries
of many international
students in the Boston
area. Since international
students do not receive
need-based scholarships,
Gazzani set out to help
those affected by these
events.
“What
if
there
is
an
international
student that’s facing an
unprecedented financial
circumstance where they
cannot pay for college,”
said Gazzani. “There’s
little relief to help these
types of students out.”
Earnest
for
these
students,
Gazzani
looked to create the
“International Assistance
Scholarship,”
that
would strictly be for
international students in
case of an emergency.
“We don’t want the
message from Suffolk to

“We don’t want the message from
Suffolk to be to their international
student community that we only
want you if you can pay. We want
the message to be that this is a
university that embraces diversity
and inclusion.”
be to their international
student community that
we only want you if you
can pay,” said Gazzani.
“We want the message to
be that this is a university
that embraces diversity
and inclusion. And we’re
going to help you stay
here as long as we can.”
Gazzani worked with
Senior Vice President of
Finance Laura Sander,
Associate Vice President
of Bursar & Financial
Planning
Michelle
Quinlan and Director of
Student Financial Services
Jennifer
Ricciardi
to
put in a request for the
scholarship to the Board
of Trustees for the next
fiscal year. If it passes, the
scholarship will provide
$30,000 worth of relief
each year.
“It’s not too much
of an amount where
the Board will say no
and it’s big enough to
completely cover one-full
semester with tuition and
room and board for one
student,” said Gazzani.
“We can prevent one
student from going home
to where their life could
be in danger.”
SGA Secretary Morgan
Robb, who works closely
with Gazzani, said he
has been clearly focused
on inclusion and has
stayed persistent with the
administration.
“Not only were we, as
an organization, able to
raise money, but he also
has worked on having
the university focus on
building a fund for it,”
said Robb to a Journal
reporter
on
Tuesday
night. “His passion has
never wavered all year.”
Both
Sander
and
Quinlan did not respond
to contact with The
Journal as of Tuesday
night.
“This is the goal I
am most proud of. As
an international student
myself, I can definitely
feel for this and I know
the struggles that we
face here on campus,”
said Gazzani. “I want to
make sure that we keep
creating opportunities for
all students.”
With
just
three
months left in his term,
Gazzani has been proud
to serve as Suffolk’s first
international
student
president,
where
he
has been able to “open
new doors” for future
international
students
looking to run for office.
As he has stuck to his
roots throughout his time
in SGA by standing by
diversity and inclusion,
Gazzani believes that his
legacy is “one of change.”

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, the agency
responsible for greater Boston’s massive public transportation
network, may soon cost more to ride. With news of a budget
shortfall of over $110 million dollars, top T officials are reportedly
mulling over fare hikes, potentially the second fare hike in three
years. “Revenue growth is less than expense growth,” said MBTA
chief administrator Michael Abramo at a meeting Monday. The
MBTA’s rising costs were attributed to a myriad of new expenses,
including pension contributions and a year-round extension of
commuter rail service to Foxborough. The last fare increase, which
occurred in 2016, saw fares rise by nine percent system wide.
The move garnered widespread criticism, including rider protests.
As a result, the Massachusetts state legislature passed legislation
limiting fare hikes to seven percent every two years. The MBTA
will be eligible to hike fares again next January. Fare hikes aren’t
the only option to raise revenue; many have suggested possible
parking fee increases. “It would be good to get a little bit of
sensitivity about what different options give us for either fare or
parking adjustments,” said Joseph Aiello, the agency’s oversight
board chairman.
Harvard hires next president
Lawrence Bacow, lawyer, economist and longtime president of
Tufts University, was chosen this week to succeed Drew Gilpin
Faust as Harvard University’s president. Sunday’s announcement
by the university’s Board of Trustees came after a seven-month
search for Faust’s replacement, according to The Boston Globe.
Faust, who was the first woman to lead the university, has served
as Harvard’s president since July 2007 and will step down in
June. “We wanted someone who could hit the ground running,
because neither we nor higher education have time to spare,”
said William F. Lee, chairman of Harvard’s presidential search
committee said on Sunday following the announcement. Bacow,
the son of immigrants, grew up in Michigan, receiving a law
degree, master’s degree, and PhD from Harvard. He is credited
with turning around Tufts during his tenure, raising more than
$1 billion in fundraising and unifying the university’s numerous
schools. Following Sunday’s announcement, Bacow spoke on a
myriad of university-specific issues, including controlling costs
and focusing on “those the economy left behind.”
White House aide out after
abuse allegations
White House Staff Secretary Rob Porter resigned last Wednesday
after allegations of abuse hit the media from both of his ex-wives.
Porter’s resignation comes after Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly gave
Porter his full support just a day earlier in a statement sent out by the
White House. Kelly called Porter “a friend, a confidant and a trusted
professional,” someone whom he was “proud to serve alongside.” On
Wednesday, news began circulating that Kelly and others within the
administration knew about the abuse long before it came to light,
and that Porter’s security clearance had been held up because of
the allegations. Kelly responded with another statement Wednesday
night, in which he said he “was shocked by the new allegations”
against Porter, noting that he stood by his previous comments “of the
Rob Porter that [he has] come to know since becoming chief of staff.”
The White House Staff Secretary is responsible for what information
gets to the president’s desk. In Porter’s case, his legal background
was key in vetting the various documents that came to President
Donald Trump’s desk for signature. Porter is the most recent in a
long line of appointees of Trump to see their tenure cut short. Dr.
Brenda Fitzgerald of the CDC resigned last month after it came to
light that she had invested in the tobacco industry, while FBI Deputy
Director Andrew McCabe was forced to resign after pressure from the
president.

Paying it forward: one state at a time
Nathan Espinal
Senior Staff Writer
Katherine Yearwood
Journal Staff
Civil rights activist
and organizer, Tamika
Mallory, addressed the
harrowing issues of racial
discrimination that have
continued to exist in
society on Wednesday.
What
started
as
a
protest
against
discrimination
quickly
turned into a large scale
movement with millions
of participants. Rather
than focus a protest on
the outcome of 2016’s
presidential
election,
Mallory’s main goal is to
pay it forward.
“We will never get five
million people again to
do anything within the
Women’s March at one
time,” said Mallory. “It’s
never going to happen
because historic moments
like that come once in a
lifetime, if at all. That’s
just the truth of how
things work.”
Having originated last
year in Washington D.C.
the organizers of The
March are embarking on
what they call the Power
to the Polls tour which
will hit ten states starting
in Las Vegas, Nev. by the
midterm elections.
Power to the Polls
is a project centered
on
voter
registration
and
education
for
members of marginalized
communities.
Contributions to the
growth and prosperity of
future generations are an
honor paid to those who
came before who fought
against past injustices,
according to Mallory.
“We commit to a
struggle without truly
knowing for sure whether
we will ever be able to
experience the fruit of
our labor,” said Mallory
during her speech. “That is
really the most important
part of paying it forward,
not knowing how you
will ever benefit from it,
but understanding that
you are leaving a legacy
for your children and
your children’s children’s
children.”
Mallory recounted a
conversation when the
group of women organized
Tthe Mmarch; they spoke
of how the 53 percent of
white women that voted
in the election, voted for
Trump. The majority of
the white women said
it was uncomfortable to
discuss politics with their
families.
Mallory recounted her
daily routine with her son.
She told him to withdraw
discrimination
against
him based on his skin.
She told him to do as he’s
told if there’s a chance
his life depends on it. He
has been told he must
make it home safe, that
they will fight his battles
together. This is not a
daily conversation that
only her and her son have
had. Many parents have
had these conversations
with their children of
color, regardless of what
neighborhood they lived
in.
Mallory also spoke
about the significance
of the date in which she
spoke at Suffolk. This day
would have been Sandra
Bland’s 31st birthday.
Bland, who was arrested
in 2015 for a routine
traffic stop, was found
dead in her cell days later;
ruled a suicide, details
surrounding her death
were called into question
by some who claimed she
was killed by police while
in custody.
“We could be her next,
today, [or] tomorrow. Any
day we could actually be
walking in the shoes or
driving in the car that
looked like Sandra Bland’s
car,” said Mallory. “So, we
continue to be brutally
beaten and murdered by
the law enforcement. And
again people say maybe
she did commit suicide.
[The] point is she had no
business being in jail in
the first place.”
The event was hosted
by the Black Student
Union (BSU) and the Office
of Diversity and Inclusion.
BSU wanted to spread
awareness to those in the
community and assert the
significance that Mallory
be recognized for her
work in the Women’s
March, according to Vice
President of the BSU
Jakira Rogers.
Mallory also spoke of
how Suffolk is a current
example of paying it
forward by explaining
the impact that Suffolk’s
founder has had.
Gleason Archer Sr.,
founder of Suffolk Law
School, had started from
humble beginnings and
worked towards building
a law school where
students can expand their
knowledge and advance
their careers.
“I think this group is
already sitting at the table
of revolution, whether or
not you understand that
and have owned it, just
by nature of being here
in a place where someone
took nothing and made
something,” said Mallory.

From practicality to poetry
From POET - 1
feels unique to tragedies
such as 9/11, as opposed
to natural disasters.
Hirshfield
explained
how she strives to keep
her private life out of
her poems, as she is a
private person. She told
the audience how her
poems are like x-rays of
her real life, below the
hard
facts.
Hirshfield
compared her writing of
poetry as another way of
expressing herself.
“The
experience
of
finding
myself,
completely moved from
one being to another [in
my writing]. The ability to
transform myself and my
writing into something
that I wouldn’t have
seen without the writing
bringing it to me,” said
Hirshfield in an interview
with The Suffolk Journal.
Hirshfield advocated
for the keeping of secrets,
how humans are beings
of infinite depth, who
cannot fit into labels but
only show what to be
seen or unseen. Hirshfield
exemplified this thought
by citing Emily Dickinson,
and how the world has yet
to find out who Dickinson
was so madly in love with
according to her poetry,
how Hirshfield hopes we
never find out.
The evening was a
beneficial
experience
to all students, with
extensive knowledge of
what it takes to be a poet
and how to connect to
your audience.
“I
think
it’s
an
incredible experience to
get writers like Jane to
universities because what
[the writers] have to say
can open you up to things
you have never thought
of before,” said Blunt.

POLITICAL PULSE:
What’s next for
Massachusetts?
Three Democratic hopefuls
jockey for the corner office
Haley Clegg/ Photo Editor
Maggie Randall
Political
Commentator
The
Massachusetts
Governor’s race is inching
closer as three Democratic
candidates have emerged.
Former
Governor
Deval Patrick’s Budget
Chief
Jay
Gonzalez,
Newton
Mayor
and
Suffolk University Law
alumnus Setti Warren
and
environmental
advocate
and
former
Democratic
nominee
for Lt. Gov. Bob Massie
have all announced their
candidacy over the past
year.
In a statement to The
Suffolk Journal, Massie’s
campaign explained how
the candidate will fight
for college students.
“For
students,
[Massie’s] platform seeks
to help people just like
them,” said Arjun Singh,
a
Communications
Associate on Massie’s
campaign. “The current
economy
is
slanted
to
benefit
wealthy
individuals
and
corporations. If elected
governor, [Massie] would
reduce
the
economic
burden of students and
create a fairer state where
they have a better chance
of moving upwards.”
Warren released a
statement to The Journal
on why college students
should support him.
“Many of those who
go to college are saddled
with crushing debt that
limits their job prospects
when they graduate. Many
more can’t afford college
at all,” said Warren. “I
support making public
college free, just like high
school. There’s no reason
public education should
stop at 12th grade.
Gonzalez’s campaign
had not responded for
comment as of Tuesday.
In speeches and on
their campaign websites,
the candidates have all
called for a more equitable
economy, environmental
protections and equality
among
women
and
minorities. The candidates
have also used the same
criticisms of Republican
Governor Charlie Baker.
In April of last year,
Gonzalez summed up the
sentiments toward the
Baker Administration in
a WGBH interview, “It’s
easy to be popular when
you don’t do anything.”
“Everyone knows that
rides the ‘T’ that the
system is broken. It’s
inadequate. It’s under
resourced,” said Warren,
according to CBS Local.
Warren blamed the
governor for the status
of the MBTA after riding
the red line with a Suffolk
student in September.
In early January, when
the temperatures dipped
below freezing, Gonzalez
and other Bostonians used
the MBTA to travel to
his Cambridge campaign
headquarters from his
home
in
Needham,
according
to
Boston
Magazine.
With the MBTA, the
candidates
might
be
tapping into the needs of
the commonwealth. “The
number one issue I hear
complaints about is the
‘T.’ It’s not even close,”
Gonzalez said to the
Boston Globe last month.
Their criticisms of
the MBTA and Baker’s
ineffectiveness may not
be enough to unseat what
many refer to as “the
most popular governor
in the country,” Charlie
Baker.
Although Baker beat
then-Massachusetts
Attorney General Martha
Coakley in 2014 by a
margin of just 1.9 percent,
according to Politico,
his approval ratings in a
recent WBUR poll stood
at 73 percent, the highest
of any governor in the
United States.
Baker has separated
himself from President
Donald Trump’s rhetoric
and taken progressive
steps, such as passing
a law that guaranteed
access and affordability
of oral contraceptives in
the state, advanced rural
access
to
high-speed
internet and treatment
for those affected by the
opioid epidemic.
Where the Democratic
candidates are an echochamber in their policy
stances and talking points,
they differ in experience.
Warren
described
himself to The Suffolk
Journal as “a lifelong
public servant and third
generation
combat
veteran” with experience
ranging from the Clinton
White House, to a U.S.
Senate office, to two-term
mayor of his hometown.
Warren reflected on
his time as mayor and
ability to correct the
city’s $40 million deficit
and put them on a clearer
financial track, actions he
hopes to replicate on a
statewide scale.
“We must do the same
thing in Massachusetts,”
said Warren. “We’ve got
to make investments to
solve these challenges
– investments from freepublic college to eastwest rail to wrap-around
addiction treatment –
but we’ve also got to be
honest that it’s going to
take new revenue.”
Warren’s
candidacy
has drawn the attention
from young people to
established Massachusetts
policy actors. Former
Governor
Michael
Dukakis,
a
long-time
leader in Massachusetts
politics, endorsed Warren
in December.
“We need leadership in
this state that’s dynamic,
that’s committed, that
surrounds
itself
with
excellent people,” said
Dukakis as reported by
Boston.com. “That’s what
I hope and expect we’re
going to get from Warren
as governor.”
Senator Jamie Eldridge
of Acton, a progressive
in the state Senate, has
endorsed Gonzalez.
“Since the day that
Gonzalez announced his
candidacy for governor,
I have seen him on the
front lines fighting for
a brighter and more
compassionate
future
for
all
Massachusetts
residents,” said Eldridge
in his endorsement of
Gonzalez. “I have seen
him energize activists
in my district with his
progressive
vision,
and believe he would
be a transformational
governor.”
Gonzalez
was
the
first to announce his
candidacy
in
January
2017, and beforehand
“served
as
[Governor
Patrick’s] Secretary of
Administration
and
Finance during the Great
Recession,” according to
his campaign website.
Gonzalez’s
prior
experience is in the health
insurance industry.
Singh
added
that
Massie’s
unique
experiences with issues
related
to
climate
and social justice in
Massachusetts, New York
and South Africa make
him fit to be governor.
“Massie’s background
has provided him with the
tools to understand all
angles of the problem and
implement solutions for
how to put Massachusetts
back on track to being a
state that favors the many
not the few,” said Singh, a
communications associate
on Massie’s campaign.
Other
Democratic
leaders in Massachusetts
have yet to endorse any
of the candidates. For
one, their endorsements
will likely occur after the
Sept. 4 primary. Mayor
Marty Walsh, however,
may not endorse at all
given his “bromance”
with Baker.
Regardless of who
voters choose to be the
Democratic
nominee
in the primary this
September, it is certain
that Massachusetts has
never elected a female
governor and one will
not be elected this time
around.
All
three
of
the
Democratic gubernatorial
candidates will be visiting
Suffolk on March 8 at
7:00 p.m. for a Candidates
Forum hosted by the
Suffolk Democrats.

over Venezuela’s early presidential
election.

Author, screenwriter Sayed Kashua talks Israeli sitcoms
The Israeli-Palestinian
conflict rages on in
the Middle East - and
according to journalist,
author and screenwriter
Sayed Kashua, hope to
find the situation will
improve, one has to be
naive.
Last Wednesday night,
students
and
faculty
lined the seats of Modern
Theatre to welcome the
Arab-Israeli author to
give a presentation and
screen an episode from
“Arab Labor,” a popular,
bilingual TV show in the
Israeli-Palestinian region,
created and written by
Kashua. Kashua is also
the author of the novels
“Let It Be Morning,”
“Second Person Singular,”
“Native” and “Dancing
Arabs,” which speak to
the situation and tension
between the Palestinians
and Israelis residing in the
region, which continues
to go unresolved given
sectarian tensions in the
region.
“Arab Labor” follows
a man named Amjad and
his family. Amjad is an
Arab journalist working
for a Hebrew newspaper
trying
to
assimilate
into a different culture.
The episode screened
was from the second
season of “Arab Labor”
titled
“Remembrance.”
It depicts the struggles
Amjad’s
family
faces
when
his
daughter
wrestles with her cultural
identity as an Arab
attending a Jewish school
in Jerusalem. Although
she is an Arab, she wants
to sing in her school
choir as part of a Jewish
Memorial Day celebration
- which commemorates
the death of Israelis
who serve and have
served in Israel’s armed
forces in Israel’s military
conflicts - to avoid feeling
excluded from her Jewish
classmates.
“It honestly reminded
me of an American sitcom

it was so funny and it kind

said senior journalism
major Sadie Haddad in
an interview with The
Suffolk Journal. “They
were talking about the
war and Independence
Day and how it is a super
controversial subject, but
[the episode] still was
funny.”
Kashua, during the
presentation,
claimed
that “Remembrance” was
unlike any of his other
episodes due to the fact
that it included very
specific details about the
traditions the two sides
follow, making it a more
importance humor plays
when writing a show
with undertones of a
very serious issue. “It
was clear that in order
to bring an Arab family
to the primetime, to
the living room of the
mainstream
Israelis,
we need to use a lot of
humor,” said Kashua.
“We need to familiarize
the Israelis, and you have
to show them that it's not
threatening them.”

Olympics spark possible peace talks in Korea
Jacob Geanous
World News Editor
The
collaboration
between North and South
Korea during the winter
Olympic
games
has
ignited rumors of future
peace
talks
between
the
adjacent
feuding
countries.
On Saturday, North
Korean leader, Kim JongUn formally invited South
Korean President Moon
Jae-in
to
Pyongyang,
which would be the first
meeting of the Korean
leaders since 2007.
Moon
responded
and suggested that the
two
countries
should
“accomplish
this
by
creating
the
right
conditions”
and
also
said that talks between
North Korea and the
United States were also
important to this budding
relationship.
According to Suffolk
University
history
professor and Director of
Rosenberg Institute for
By Facebook user Reuters Pictures
North and South Korea meet about the demilitarized zone separating the countries
East Asian Studies Ronald
Suleski,
North
Korea
has used the Olympic
games as a catalyst for
diplomacy between the
two countries before.
“It's
important
to
remember that the same
happened
under
Kim
Jong-Un’s father, Kim
Jong-Il,” said Suleski.
“He invited the South
Korean President, who
went to Pyongyang. They
had talks. They reunited
families that had been
separated by the Korean
war. Now it’s being done
again.”
Suleski said that the
rumblings of peace talks
could potentially settle a
contentious region, but
whether or not the U.S.
will be included in the
shared peace hinges on
how President Donald J.
Trump acts in the near
future.
“I think what it could
do is diffuse the whole
situation for a while,”
said Suleski. “The biggest
problem I see is if, right
after it, President Trump
goes ahead with the U.S.South Korean military
exercises, that’ll throw a
stink bomb in things.”
If Korea can find a
way to unite, they will
become a geopolitical
force to be reckoned with,
Suleski said, due to the
abundance of valuable
natural resources that
both
countries
have
access too.
“People always say
that if North and South
korea can find a way
to unite, they’ll be a
powerhouse,”
Suleski
said. “They have natural
minerals,
waterpower
for
hydroelectricity,
precious ores, all kinds
of precious things. They
would become so strong
geopolitically that they
may scare China a little
bit. They would definitely
scare Japan.”
Although
media
surrounding the games
in Pyeongchang is abuzz
with news of potential
peace talks, Suleski does
not think this newly
reported
attempt
at
diplomacy will be a short
process between the two
countries that have had
a violent, argumentative
history.
“The dream of many
Koreans is to stand
up an say no, we’re
together again as one
ethnic, cultural people,”
he said. “When that
will happen, I certainly
don’t know. Some people
see it happening in the
foreseeable future, but
they’re more optimistic
than I am.”

Israeli PM Netanyahu faces indictment
Israeli police recommended the indictment
of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
as a result of a year long investigation into
charges of bribery, fraud and breaches
of trust. The multiple corruption cases
involve expensive gifts from two Israeli Hollywood
producers, as well as an attempt to strike a deal
with Israeli newspaper publisher, Yediot Ahronot,
reported multiple news sources. Netanyahu allegedly
intended to limit the circulation of Ahronot’s primary
competitor, in exchange for more favorable coverage
of his time as prime minister, reported the Washington
Post. In a separate investigation that is coming to a
close, members of Netanyahu’s inner circle have been
arrested on charges of corruption and bribery in a
multi-billion dollar submarine deal with Germany, the
Washington Post reported. The police stated that there
is sufficient evidence for the attorney general to indict
Netanyahu. Netanyahu maintains his innocence, and
said in a Facebook statement that he will again win
the trust of the Israeli people for the next election.
In addition, the police have also recommend the
indictment of Netanyahu’s wife Sara on charges of the
misuse of public funds. The case details how the money
was used to pay for multiple lavish meals for her and
her family, CNN reported. Netanyahu has previously
accused the police of bias in their investigations,
and replied to this latest news in saying that the real
issue that should be considered is the integrity of the
investigation. Netanyahu’s predecessor, Ehud Olmert,
was forced to resign in 2009 due to corruption and was
indicted in 2014
Russian plane crash kills 65
The crash of a Russian
airliner that killed all 65
of its passengers and six
crew members is now being
attributed to false flight speed data, BBC
reported. The instrument malfunction occurred
after pilots failed to turn on a heating system
for the probes, leading to the freezing of a key
speed monitoring device shortly after takeoff.
The Russian media group RBK reported that
the pilot had refused to follow the de-icing
procedure, as they felt the temperatures were
not cold enough to justify it. A criminal case
has opened, highlighting negligent activity and
a failure to follow aircraft operation rules as
the causes of death for two or more people,
reported the New York Post. A preliminary
analysis showed the inability to correctly
interpret the speed of the airplane led to the
pilot’s decision to switch off auto-pilot to
perform a series of manual maneuvers, one
of which led to the crash of the jet just over
five minutes after takeoff. Wreckage and was
dispersed across an area of about 74 acres, just
50 miles southeast of Moscow. Aiding in the
search for DNA samples and pieces of wreckage
are more than 700 volunteers, along with
Russia’s emergencies ministry, BBC reported.
The crash of an Air France flight that killed
228 people on board in 2009 was attributed to
the same iced-over speed probes as the Russian
airliner, reported multiple news sources.
New study finds sea is rapidly rising
Rises in sea level have been shown
this week to not only be definitively
occurring, but rapidly increasing in
severity. This information comes from
a new study that compiled 25-years of satellite
imaging that includes often neglected areas
of open ocean, reported CNN. Where scientists
previously predicted a 30cm rise by 2100, the
study has shown the actual rates to be nearly
double this. “Any flooding concerns that coastal
communities have for 2100 may occur over the
next few decades,” said Katy Serafin, a coastal
flooding expert at Oregon State University. The
findings are consistent with the most recent
International Panel on Climate Change report.
The study also sought to increase the reliability
of the predictions by taking into account several
natural phenomenon that lead to changes in
global weather patterns, as reported by CNN. The
researchers also gathered information from other
projects such as GRACE, the Gravity Recovery and
Climate Experiment, to identify the causes of the
rate of acceleration, the Guardian reported. Their
findings showed that global warming, caused by
human action, has lead to a large expansion of
ocean water, as well as melted permafrost and icecaps in Greenland and Antarctica. Although the
world is still a few years away from feeling direct
impacts from the rise, the destruction caused by
super-storms similar to those that occurred in the
last few years is made far worse as the coastline
moves closer inland.

Spring Showcase 2018: musicals & minimalism
Felicity Otterbein / Arts & Culture Editor
Cast of “Acting 101/Ames Room,” performed at this years Spring Showcase.
The Spring Showcase 2018,
featured “Acting 101/ Ames
Room,” directed and written
by Elektra Newman, and “I
Enjoy Being a Girl,” a cabaret
directed and choreographed
by Victoria Isotti. “Acting
101/ Ames,” room represents
a journey toward fulfillment
and happiness, while “I
Enjoy Being a Girl” is a
historical path about female
empowerment.

Journal Contributor
“Theater is the whore
of art,” one of the most
memorable
lines
of
the “Acting 101/ Ames
Room play,”
said by
the unnamed mentor
of the main character.
The
symbolism
of
unintentional
objects,
gestures
and
color
oozing through easily
delivered the concepts of
loneliness, confusion and
enlightenment.
The minimalist setting
included a block interlaced
with black and white,
representing
“dualism
back in forth from one
extreme to another” said
Newman to The Suffolk
Journal in a post-show
interview.
Minimalism
was an important factor
for Newman as this was
a way of balancing the
writer,
director
and
designer
ideas
while
including a touch of her
style.
It begins with seven
actors all dressed in solid
black with seven different
colors tied around the
waist. From a simple
view it may not mean
much, but these seven
fabrics represent “The
seven chakras, days of the
week, and colors of the
rainbow,” said Newman.
The
metaphorically
complex
play
shows
the
journey
of
an
unnamed
character
reaching nirvana through
vignettes. The peculiar
presentation was meant
to give the audience “an
individual and different
journey with audience,
creating
unique
and
different opinions,” said
Newman.
“It’s been a work in
progress and seeing a
person's journey and very
personal and everyone can
leave with something,”
said Newman, adding how
this work took four years
to complete. Newman
began writing it since
junior year of highschool,
and over winter break
completed the final script.
The second showcase,
“I Enjoy Being a Girl”
included a compilation
of songs which Director
Victoria Isotti explained
as a timeline, beginning
from the 1920’s to the
2000’s; choosing the song
that best represented how
women were portrayed
during that decade.
Beginning
with
the song “He’s Gone
Away,” there was a
clear
prominence
of
submissiveness
and
dependency.
As
the
musical numbers passed
by, little by little the tone
becomes less complaint
and yielding and the
dances became more racy.
The combination of red
ruby lips and accessories
with black clothing apart
from representing the
journey of sexuality for
women, also “empowered
the girls more,” said
Isotti.

Humor vs. hardships
A discussion surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian

that my attempt at living
together with others in

that in order to believe
there soon be a shared

East, Kashua referenced
the Gaza War of 2014
and said that he stopped
writing the series after
the fourth season because

Israelis] will share the

movies in recent years,
“Infinity War” needs to

the previous “Avengers”

That movie shouldn’t

scene, and there were
many plot points that
went
unexplained
(Since when are Natasha

Stop me if you’ve
heard this one: a hot
muscular guy is held
hostage by a group of
terrorists at the top
of an extremely tall
building. The terrorists
are also threatening his
family and the other
people in the building.
No, it’s not “Die

(and quite unoriginal)
Dwayne Johnson action
flick
“Skyscraper.”
“Skyscraper” was one of
several major summer
blockbusters
teased
during Super Bowl 52
this past Sunday. Some
looked
good;
some
looked bad; some just

of people to enjoy, they
just decide to continue

movies that really don’t

“Jurassic

for
example.

trilogy,
directed
by
Steven Spielberg, was
a massive box office
success.

Crichton’s

With such popular critical

2015’s
“Jurassic World” brought
in new director Colin
Trevorrow, who failed
to give audiences a
consistent
story
and
instead relied on overthe-top special effects to
keep the people excited.
It was messy, there was
little to no character
development, and it just
didn’t have the wonder of
the original movies.
The
upcoming
“Jurassic World: Fallen
Kingdom,” has yet another
new director, J.A. Bayona.
It will feature only two
actors from the previous
film,
the
lackluster
lovebirds Bryce Dallas
Howard and Chris Pratt.
Original cast member
Jeff Goldblum is slated to
make a cameo, but that
won’t make the film any
less underwhelming than
it looks already.
Another movie cashing
in on a franchise reboot is
“Solo: A Star Wars Story.”
Like “Jurassic Park” and
“Star Wars” was also
revamped in 2015. “The
Force
Awakens”
was
pretty good in having a
consistent plot—with the
exception of killing off one
of the main characters,
a very bold move. In
2017, “The Last Jedi” was
mildly successful, albeit
somewhat loosely tied up.
It would be reasonable
to assume “Solo: A Star

come off as an apology
card to lifelong fans of the
series. And it doesn’t look
as horrendous as “Fallen

Elephants.
Donkeys.
Nick Viveiros
Journal Staff
For many voters,
2016
presented
a
difficult
dichotomy.
The nominee from each
major political party
was widely unpopular,
even
amongst
the
party’s
respective
bases. Hillary Clinton
and
Donald
Trump
were disliked by more
voters than perhaps
any other nominees
in modern political
history. Just before the
election, a USA Today
poll of registered voters
showed exactly how
dire the situation was
for both candidates.
Clinton had 59 percent
un-favorability,
and
Trump had 60 percent.
Yet, their names were
at the top of the ballot,
sparring
in
three
nauseating
debates
throughout the fall of
2016 and absorbing
press
coverage
like
sponges.
The
main
narrative: we are all
you got.
However, they were
not. On the ballot in
most states were both
two-term
governor
and
Libertarian
Gary
Johnson
and
physician and Green
Party member Dr. Jill
Stein. While Johnson
and Stein were seen
by many, as the only
two
serious
thirdparty contenders there
were dozens more. In
23 states, there was

as well as countless
others. There was also
Rocky De La Fuente of the
Reform Party, the party
Ross Perot ran under in
1996 and received eight
percent of the popular
vote. One cursory look
at election results shows
more than twenty other
choices in the political
spectrum.
Why,
then,
in
a
year where the two
major party’s respective
nominees
were
so
unpopular, and there
were so many other
choices, did third parties
fail so miserably?
Their primary problem
is ambition. America’s
third parties aim too
high, too soon. Strong
voter bases of committed
party loyalists may not
decide
elections
the
way independents do,
but they sure do help
political parties in a
myriad of ways, especially
with financial support.
Strong parties are built
on the state and local
level. None of the minor
third parties have the
necessary base to support
a successful batch of
candidates for federal or
state office. There are no
Greens, no Reformers, no
Constitutionalists in any
state houses, nor in either
house of U.S. Congress, for
this very reason. The only
itself as a political entity.
What about Trump?
Wasn’t he a top-down
candidate, having had no
experience in government
prior to running? Not
“A party must first entrench
itself in local and state
politics. They need to run
candidates for school
board, water commissioner,
mayor, city council, school
committee. The direction of
the party has to come from
the ground up.”
third party to succeed in
this is the Libertarian
Party, which has several
state
legislators
and
around 200 lower-level
office holders and boasts
growing
enrollment
numbers. Beyond that,
there isn’t a third party
that has proven itself
capable of supporting
exactly.
What
the
President did is different
than what third parties
are doing. Trump used
an existing mechanism
— a fractured Republican
Party — as a means
for his political rise.
Trump’s brand was his
inexperience. His weapon
was his otherness.
And his pitch was of
“I am not one of them.”
But even with his antiestablishment,
at
the
end of the day he still
had a major organization
backing him. Our current
third parties do not.
But what would it
take for a third party to
break out onto the main
stage next cycle? First,
third parties need to
stop running candidates
during
presidential
elections.
Presidential
elections
alone,
but
presidential
elections
certainly
hamper
the
efforts of these parties
to establish a sort of
electoral
legitimacy.
A
party
must
first
entrench itself in local
and state politics. They
need to run candidates
for school board, water
commissioner,
mayor,
city council, and school
committee. The direction
of the party has to come
from the ground up.
Above all, third parties
need to identify and listen
to their target base. While
there is a constituency for
the Greens, Libertarians,
and other third parties,
those are relatively small
bases. They certainly want
a third party — 61 percent
of those polled by Gallup
back in September 2017
said that the Democratic
and Republican parties
are insufficient. What
most Americans want is a
candidate who is toward
the center on most issues.
The last few years
have demonstrated that
America is ready to move
past a two party system.
While exactly what that
may look like is not yet
clear, but we saw in 2016
what it won’t look like. A
viable third party will be
here to stay when it can
get elected at all levels of
government.
To win, that candidate
must appeal to middle
America — the large
chunk of the country
between the far left and
far right that believe this
has all gone on for far
too long. Only when all
of these criteria are met
will a third party flourish.
Until then, the other two
are all we have got.

Payment is due: Division I athletes should be compensated for their commitment

The digital age has made it easier
than ever to become connected
with others, whether it be close in
proximity or halfway across the
planet. No matter where they are
located, a simple message can be
sent in seconds. What could go
wrong?
Human interaction and the way
we view others has seemed to be
negatively impacted through the
development of technology. Instead
of talking in person and meeting
more “organically,” a sentient being
has turned into a tinder swipe right,
with their worth being centered
around their attractiveness and
first profile picture. The emotions
attached to the initial instance of
wanting to know more about a
person has become obsolete and
the lust associated with those same
feelings is overpowered due to the
numb distance of an LED screen.
Yet, most young adults complain
about how they cannot find love.
It’s an enigma to why romance is
seemingly dead, even though a
“quickie” is the new pick-up line.
People type “lol” or “haha” with
an emotionless expression, waiting
for a response that will be just as
fake. Interpersonal communication
between others has become a game
of who can do it the least, all while
being glued to their phone when it
does happen, because a swipe left is
worse than fostering a friendship.
But it is time for us to take back
what we have given to this fictional
reality and reclaim the way we talk
to each other. The distance between
our screens leaves too much to the
imagination so when talking faceto-face, we become lost. It is time
to find our way back to actually
laughing; tear jerking, belly laughing
and retain the relationships created
through in-person interactions.

“The
typical
Division I
college football
player devotes
43.3 hours per
week to his
sport.”
Division I players
deserve better
From ATHLETES - 9
million
in
championship ticket sales.
That’s $921.2 million for
the NCAA alone just from
basketball, according to
the NCAA website.
But all is at the
expense of the athlete,
not the institution or
program, as the athletes
do not see a cent.
The most common
argument
is
that
institutions pay it in the
form
of
scholarships,
apparel,
trainers
and
other assets that athletes
can use. And this claim
isn’t
entirely
bogus.
However, programs can
pay for clothing, travel
and scholarships, but
many college students,
even those who aren’t
athletes, would claim
that being provided for in
cash value is much more
valuable than material
objects.
According
to
twotime Pro-Bowler Richard
Sherman
during
a
pre-Super Bowl press
conference
in
2015,
student
athletes
are
not given the time they
need to excel in school
and often have trouble
coming up with money
for everyday necessities.
During the interview,
Sherman reminisced on
his own time at Stanford
University
where
he
played college football
and earned a degree in
communications.
“Usually my [bank]
account was in the
negative more time than it
was in the positive. You’ve
got to make decisions on
whether you get gas for
your car or whether you
get a meal for the day,”
said Sherman.
It is not about student
athletes choosing not to
work either. According
to an article published in
2014 by Marc Edelman,
a contributor to Forbes,
“The typical Division I
college football player
devotes 43.3 hours per
week to his [or her]
sport.”
This
doesn’t
even
include
the
hours
student athletes put into
schoolwork. It would be
difficult to argue that
student athletes could
work part-time as a
large portion of college
students do to have some
tangible money to walk
around with.
In addition, Edelman
also points out that if a
sports program performs
at a high caliber, student
applications rise to any
given institution.
The fact of the matter
is that Division I athletes
contribute to colleges in
more than just money.
A sports program that
performs well produces
media coverage - and
with coverage of student
athletes comes marketing
for the school, turning
outstanding athletes into
free marketing puppets
for the school.
Overall,
Division
I
athletes in universities
across the U.S. should be
compensated for the time
they put in as a full-time
athlete while being a fulltime student.

Political ignorance: Who can turn a blind eye
Nathan Espinal
Senior Staff Writer
Regardless of what
identity
you
hold,
you should be talking
politics. Men should be
listening to women about
reproductive
justice.
White people should be
listening to black and
brown people about gun
violence.
Cisgender
people
should
be
listening
to
transgender
and
genderqueer individuals
about their rights. It
sounds corny but we
really are in this together
and we need to start
listening to each other’s
problems and supporting
one another.
These
conversations
are important because of
the risks of not having
them.
It is important for
people who are most
benefited by politics to
engage in conversations
not only with one another,
but with those who
are most incapacitated
by them. They need to
understand how policies
take shape and how they
affect other people in
ways that don’t affect
them.

the
Women’s
March
Tamika Mallory came

thanks to Black Student
Union and the Center
for Student Diversity and
Inclusion, and her words
has inspired this new way
of understanding politics.
I have been exposed
before, to the idea that
politics are something to
be considered seriously,
as a way of understanding
human rights. It wasn’t
until Mallory’s wise words
that I was able to fully
comprehend the gravity
of such a concept.
People of color, queers,
disabled, etc. do not have
the privilege to opt out of
the political conversation;
their lives depend on it.
Trump is president
of the United States for
many reasons, but a vital
reason to understand
is that he is president
because many people,
who had the least to lose,
were too uncomfortable
to tell the people close
to them that they were
wrong. That is a privilege
that the marginalized
cannot
afford.
Those

Jenni-Rose DiCecco was
named Great Northeast
Athletic
Conference
(GNAC) Corvias Rookie of

honor, DiCecco surpassed
an
all-time
Suffolk
athletics
single-season
record with her seventh
award, placing her ahead
of sophomore teammate,
Alexis Hackett, who won
the award six times in
2016-17. DiCecco has led
the Lady Rams to an 18-6
season, putting them
third in the conference.
During
her
sixth
Rookie of the Week
stretch,
which
tied
Hackett,
DiCecco
averaged 15.3 points, 4.3
assists and 3.7 rebounds.
The freshman’s biggest
game came against Anna
Maria College, where she
broke out for 21 points
and eight assists in a 9257 win. She also put up 19
points and six rebounds
in a victory against Mount
Ida College.
“I was pumped when
I got [Rookie of the
Week] for the first time.
Every time after that has
been just as exciting,”
said DiCecco in a recent
interview
with
The
Suffolk Journal.
DiCecco’s
best
performance of the season
came in an overtime win
against Framingham State
University. Playing 44 of
a possible 45 minutes,
the freshman put up 29
points while shooting 50
percent, 7-14, from the
three-point line. Dicecco
recorded three steals,
five rebounds and three
assists, as she captured
her third Rookie of the
Week honor while also
being named “Best rookie
over a seven day stretch”
by the New England
Women’s
Basketball
Association.
“She’s
going
to do
amazing
things in
her four
years
here,
keep an

for her.”
- Captain
Georgia
Bourikas
Jumpstarting into her
collegiate career, DiCecco
immediately made an
impact on the team. In her
first game of the season,
the freshman scored 21
points and notched two
steals while playing the
entire 40 minutes of the
game.
She
continued
her early success in
the Roadrunner Tip-Off
Tournament, leading the
Lady Rams to the crown.
In the semi-final game,
DiCecco came one assist
shy of a double double
with 10 points and nine
assists. The next day, the
freshman added 11 points
with four assists in the
championship game.
“[DiCecco] has brought
so much to the team,
stepping into the role as
our starting point guard.
That’s not an easy job for
anyone to do, especially
a freshman,” said senior
captain Georgia Bourikas
in an interview with The
Journal. “She’s going to
do amazing things in her
four years here, keep an
eye out for her.”
In her first collegiate
season, DiCecco currently
averages 14 points, five
rebounds and four assists.
The freshman is leading
the team in assists per
game, steals per game,
total three-pointers made
and total free throws
made as well as tied for

see the floor. She’s one of
the reasons why we are
[18-6]. I love how fearless
she is.”
One
statistic
that
sticks out is DiCecco’s
ability to stay in the
game for long stretches
of time on the court. The
freshman averages more
than 35 minutes out of
40 per game. It is clear
Lady Rams head coach Ed
Leyden has given DiCecco
complete control of the
point-guard
position.
While the work load as
a freshman may seem
tiring, DiCecco insists it
actually helps her on the
court.
To take home her
record-breaking seventh
Rookie of the Week award,
DiCecco boosted Suffolk
to a 75-71 victory over
conference rival Regis
College. The point guard
dropped 16 points to go
along with five rebounds
and four steals. Once
again, DiCecco played the
entire 40 minutes of the
game.
“It’s hard to be thrown
into a game after you've
been sitting out for a
while. To be on the court
for most of the game,
it not only helps my
endurance, but my ability
to play the game. I’m also
really glad coach trusts
me as much as he does,”
said DiCecco.
DiCecco is one of six
freshman recruits, all
of which have had an
immediate impact on
the Lady Rams. With
such a strong freshman
class, DiCecco and her
teammates believe they
can have success not only
this year, but in the long
term as well.
“With
such
young
talented girls, we have
so much potential. I hope
we can bring home a
GNAC Championship and
an NCAA appearance too.
I think that is everyone’s
goal,” said DiCecco.

Seniors gear up for final stretch
Hannah Arroyo / Asst. Sports Editor
By Hannah Arroyo, Assistant Sports Editor
J.B. Sweeney, #3
Jack Jenkins, #8
Four years have gone by for four
Suffolk University men’s ice hockey
seniors that competed in their last
regular season game on Saturday.
A ceremony filled with family and
friends before the game honored Rams
Jack Jenkins, J.B. Sweeney, Shayne
Bailey and Sam Kent.
The seniors have seen a tremendous
amount of change in the hockey
program since they first crossed the
blue line. Sweeney explained how
during his freshman year, the Rams had
no true home ice and had to migrate
from rink-to-rink in the Boston area.
Since then, Suffolk has been gifted new
equipment and a home locker room
at Emmons Horrigan O’Neil Rink in
Charleston.
“We’ve come a long way,” said
Sweeney in an interview with The
Suffolk Journal on Tuesday. “I’m really
excited to see what happens with the
program. It’s taking a step in the right
direction every year.”
Suffolk finished out their regular
season ending with a record of 9-12-3
and notching a total of 67 goals.
The Rams put up a convincing fight
early in the season as they won their
seventh straight home opener, skating
past Assumption College 5-2. Standout
freshman Matt Bucher held the game
down, scoring the first tally of the game
and his first collegiate goal. Later on he
would add another unassisted goal to
keep the Rams on top.
“All the freshmen have done
exceptionally well this year,” said
Sweeney. “Some have played every
game and they fit right in. They’ve done
everything they’ve been asked.”
What seemed to be an impressive
start, skidded into a landslide of four
straight losses for the Rams where
their opponents outscored them 14-5.
Suffolk would take this losing streak
with a grain of salt coming back to win
the following four games, even shutting
out Western New England University
5-0.
“It’s a little bit up and down in the
win column, but we’ve got a great
group of guys,” said Jenkins in a recent
interview with The Journal.
Jenkins, who is one of the team’s
captains, has played in a total of 97
career games for Suffolk. He said that
it feels like just yesterday he took the
ice for the Rams for the first time.
In their last regular season game
the Rams found themselves in a hole,
as they were down by three goals nine
minutes into the second period. Four

Award-winning poet
to visit Suffolk
Award-winning poet Jane Hirshfield will visit Suffolk University
on Wednesday, in what the University describes as “a day of
exploration and inspiration.” According to the University’s website,
Hirshfield will lead a roundtable discussion with members of
the Suffolk community and several invited guests hosted by the
Poetry Center. During the discussion participants will get to ask
Hirshfield about her craft. Hirshfield has published over a dozen
works, including The Beauty (2015), a finalist for the National Book
Award. “Her work is deeply informed by a confluence of Buddhist
thought and feminism,” said Fred Marchant, Professor Emeritus
and Director of the Poetry Center. At the end of the day, Hirshfield
will hold a reading at which she is expected to read new works,
which will be open to the public. “A reading is the unique occasion
of hearing the person who composed those works reading them
as they were intended to be read,” said Marchant. The roundtable
discussion kicks off at 3 p.m. at the Poetry Center in the Mildred
F. Sawyer Library, 3rd Floor. The public poetry reading will be
held at 7:00 p.m. in the Blue Sky Lounge & Commons in Sargent
Hall, 5th Floor.
Flu activity hits peak in
Massachusetts
Doctors and public health officials have quickly become
overwhelmed by the worst flu season in recent history. According
to the most recent numbers from the Department of Public Health
(DPH), 5,708 cases of the flu had been confirmed by the week
ending Feb. 2. At Massachusetts General Hospital alone, 11 people
have succumbed to the illness so far. Officials with the DPH are
urging people to get vaccinated, as the season is nowhere near over.
“It’s not unusual for us to see a second wave of influenza B after
the wave of influenza A,’’ Dr. Alfred DeMaria said to The Boston
Globe. “We are seeing an increase in the incidence of influenza B
so it could protect you from that.” DeMaria said that while there
is still concern about the flu in the greater Boston area, the rate
of infection is declining in the region. Central Massachusetts has
had a particularly low rate in comparison to the rest of the state.
While DeMaria says it’s not clear why the central part of the state
was spared, it’s a welcome relief for overwhelmed emergency
rooms. Increased flu activity has gotten the attention of at least
one member of the state’s congressional delegation. Senator Ed
Markey (D-MA) said during a recent visit to Massachusetts General
Hospital that Congress must invest $1 billion in the development
of a universal flu vaccination. Markey plans to introduce the bill
this week.

nation’s power grid. Hundreds
of thousands of electric cars
hitting the roads has reduced the
demand for petroleum. Increased
mining automation has removed
much of the physical labor
associated with coal extraction.
The United States uses every
type of energy generation in
varying quantities, and employs
tens of thousands in the areas of
energy research, fuel extraction,
power grid maintenance and any
other sector along the supply
path of electricity.
“[Energy]
sectors
today
employ
approximately
6.4
million
Americans.
These
sectors increased in 2016 by just
under five percent, adding over
300,000 net new jobs, roughly
14 percent of all those created
in the country,” reported the
Department of Energy.
Not all energy sectors have
grown equally, as the greatest
decline was seen in the coal
industry over the past 10 years.
Many Americans who have been
employed by or have families
who have been employed by
the coal industry have felt
forgotten, or worse, actively
disenfranchised. This growing
mindset has led to an increase in
political motivations to speak on
protecting coal, as many voters
will seek out a candidate who
they feel will protect their dying
livelihood.
Trump’s decision to reduce
government
funding
for
renewables
ends
the
long
history of continuous job growth
and innovation for energy
production. His plan also risks
damaging the livelihoods of
hundreds of thousands who
are currently being employed
specifically by the solar, biofuel
and wind energy industries.
The
proposal
would
kill
research
in
bioenergy
technologies by 82 percent,
advanced manufacturing by 75
percent, solar energy technology
by 78 percent and fuel efficient
vehicles by 82 percent.
“The decision effectively will
cause the loss of roughly 23,000
American jobs this year, including
many in manufacturing, and
it will result in the delay or
cancellation
of
billions
of
dollars in solar investments,”
said the Solar Energy Industries
Association. “These [tariffs] will
create a crisis in a part of our
economy that has been thriving,
which will ultimately cost tens of
thousands of hard-working, bluecollar Americans their jobs.”
Feijoo remains optimistic on
her thoughts of her future career.
“Even though it’s grim right
now, it’s giving me hope that
there’s backlash to this decision
of his. Change will come, he is
just a barrier in the way. Him
prolonging this will only give
us more to clean up when he’s
gone.”

From the University of
California, Berkeley to the
streets of Charlottesville,
VA, the topic of free
speech
has
sparked
debate and protest in
recent months. Across the
country, universities are
trying to devise a plan
where students can be
educated in an orderly,
learning
environment
and have free inquiry to
express their thoughts
and ideas.
Sigal R. Ben-Porath,
professor of Education,
Political
Science
and
Philosophy
at
the
University of Pennsylvania
gave her opinions and
possible solutions to this
ongoing dilemma. She
emphasized that students
should be seen as equal
members of the school
community.
“The
work
on
maintaining an inclusive
and free environment is
part of the work that we
do as a college campus.
This is part of our
mission, it’s part of who

communities so students
are able to share their
opinions confidently and
have open discussions
on topics that influence
and impact them, even if
some of the conversations
involve sensitive issues.
In addition to students’
ability to speak their
minds, Ben-Porath said
that professors should
encourage conversation
that arises in class even
if the conversation strays
away from their lesson
plan.
“I try to create to
basically model as much
as I can a comfortable
and respectful classroom
environment
where
I
allow for students to
speak their mind,” said
Communications
and
Journalism
professor
Shoshana
MadmoniGerber in an interview
with The Suffolk Journal.
“I encourage students to
ask questions, to say if
they’re not comfortable
with something. I try
to check in to see how
students feel about a
specific topic.”
Two
seniors
in
attendance,
Claire
Mulvena and Elena Jacob,
said in an interview with
The Suffolk Journal that
they have had no issues
with free speech during
their time at Suffolk. BenPorath showed them a
new point of view in the
issues revolving around
free speech debate and
allowed them to think
about it from a different
angle.
“There’s a lot of grey
area that I think you
don’t understand when
[you’ve only experienced]
the student perspective,”
Mulvena said. “I think it’s
interesting hearing from a
professor who is not only
really kind of supporting
free speech but also has
to think of it in terms
like, ‘I have to run an
institution,’ so I thought
it was interesting.”
This event was hosted
by “Before and After
Charlottesville: Inclusion
and Freedom in Dialogue,”
Suffolk
University’s
yearlong initiative that
was launched in the
wake of the events of
Charlottesville, V.A., after
a white nationalists rally
became violent in August
2017. The series invites
guest speakers, screens
films and other events for
the Suffolk community
that are directed at
issues that could emerge
after the controversy in
Virginia.
The “Before and After
Charlottesville: Inclusion
and Freedom in Dialogue,”
initiative
has
more
events planned for this
semester, which include
a “Congress to Campus”
event on February 28 and
a screening of the film
“Gook” on March 22.

POLITICAL PULSE
Trump’s State of the Union
looked to take credit, hardline stances
P
resident
Donald
J. Trump
delivered
his first State of the Union
Address – a speech made
annually by the President
of the United States for
over two-hundred years.
“Over the last year
we have made incredible
progress and achieved
extraordinary
success,”
said
Trump
in
his
80-minute speech, which
“It was clear
that Trump
wanted
to make a
hardline stance
on immigration
in the State of
the Union”
highlighted the passage
of the Republican tax
plan. The President called
for immigration policy, a
stronger
infrastructure
package and strict foreign
intervention
against
North Korea.
Suffolk
University
Government
Associate
Professor
Dr.
Brian
Conley was surprised by
some of the president’s
policy choices.
“The thing I was
most surprised by is
the idea that the U.S.
is going to continue to
use Guantánamo [Bay
detention
camp]
as
some part of foreign
policy and the war on
terrorism,” said Conley in
a recent interview. “Both
previous administrations
acknowledged
that
it
was a really problematic
response to wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq.”
Toward
the
end
of
Barack
Obama’s
presidency,
Obama
reflected
on
his
administration and one
change he would make
if he could, which was “I
think I would have closed
Guantánamo on the first
day,” according to the
New Yorker.
Suffolk
students
were most struck by the
president’s comments on
immigration.
“It was clear that
Trump wanted to make
a hardline stance on
immigration in the State
of the Union,” said senior
International
Relations
major Jenny Rego.
Rego
added
that
advisers such as Stephen
Miller likely influenced
Trump’s
immigration
decision.
Trump characterized
immigration reform in
the State of the Union
Address as “one where
nobody gets everything
they want, but where our
country gets the critical
reforms it needs.”
Trump’s immigration
plan included creating
a path to citizenship for
immigrants who meet
work
and
education
requirements
where
Democrats can likely agree
with. Other areas of the
plan are more polarizing
like building a wall along
the
Mexican-American
border, eliminating the
Diversity
Immigrant
Visa and ending what
Republicans call “chain
migration,”
which
is
when immediate families
immigrate together.
James
Usovicz,
a
freshman
double
majoring in History and
Government agreed with
Rego.
“I think immigration
really stood out in this
address, Trump seems
very keen to put pressure
on the matter,” said
Usovicz.
Massachusetts
Congressman
Joe
Kennedy delivered the
Democratic party’s official
response to President
Trump’s first year in
office. A technical school
in what Kennedy called
“a proud American city,
built by immigrants” of
Fall River, Massachusetts
served as the venue for
his response.
“This administration
isn’t just targeting the
“It is standard
for presidents
to claim
whatever
benefit is
happening
while in office.”
laws that protect us –
they are targeting the
very idea that we are all
worthy of protection,”
said Kennedy.
Rego,
who
has
interned for Kennedy,
felt the Congressman
accurately reflected the
position of his party and
his own values.
“What stood out to
me most in his speech
was his statement [which
was] spoken Spanish that
the Democrats will fight
for the Dreamers,” said
Rego. “A message I think

with immigrants around
the country who are being
persecuted on multiple
fronts by the Trump
administration.”
Some of the nation’s
leading publications, such
as the Washington Post,
the New York Times,
ABC News and others
offered “fact-checks” that
assessed the truthfulness
of various assertions and
lies made by Trump.
“There are implications
any time elected officials
mislead the public,” said
Conley, who assured that
saying the President lied
in the State of the Union
Address is “a really quite
bold assertion.”
Trump
boasted
economic achievements
such as job creation,
increased
wages
and
historic
low
unemployment
rates
for
African-Americans.
The question remains as
to what extent Trump
played a role in shaping
the economy so quickly in
his first year.
“It is standard for
presidents
to
claim
whatever
benefit
is
happening
while
in
office,” Conley explained,
regardless of whether or
not he played a role in
that success.
Trump also made calls
for bipartisanship in his
address, rhetoric that may
be foiled if Congressional
Republicans
and
the
White House fail to
negotiate a budget this
week and suffer another
government shutdown.
“Another
shutdown
would likely serve to
only further lower public
faith in Congress,” said
Usovicz who believes
that Congress will pass a
budget, or a continuing
resolution that would
fund the government
temporarily.
“It means that its purely
rhetorical,” said Conley
if the government does
shut down, “that there
is working bipartisanship
in Washington – it’s a
rhetorical claim.”
Conley
also
recommended
that
students gather
an
understanding
of
the
president’s agenda, not
just from the State of the
Union, but by reading
newspapers regularly and
even using Twitter to
stay up to date on actions
taken by Congress and
the administration.

Deadly earthquake hits Taiwan
A 6.4-magnitude earthquake hit near
Hualien, Taiwan just before midnight
Monday, 12 miles off the country’s
coast. Officials have confirmed with
multiple news sources that two people
have been killed and more than 200 people were
injured. The tremor collapsed portions of Hualien
and left hundreds of people trapped in buildings
across the city, BBC reported. Early reports from
Taiwan News stated that more than five major
Hualien buildings have been rendered to rubble
and the paved streets have split open in some
areas. Photographs that have emerged depicting
the devastation in Hualien show buildings that
have collapsed completely, or are leaning at
precarious angles. Two bridges in in the city
have been sealed off because of the damage they
have sustained. Multiple landslides along the
Suhua Highway have also been triggered by the
earthquake, closing the highway to traffic. The
tremor occurred on the second anniversary of a
6.4-magnitude earthquake that killed 117 people
in Tainan, Taiwan. Aftershocks could reportedly be
felt 100 miles away in the island country’s capital
of Taipei. Taiwan sits on two tectonic plates and
is has been hit by a long string of earthquakes
in the last week. Monday night’s earthquake was
the most powerful and has followed nearly 100
smaller recent tremors, according to the Guardian.
Taiwan’s president, Tsai Ing-wen, announced on
Facebook that emergency services around the
island were gearing up to assist those affected.
UN alleged chemical attack in Syria
United Nations war crime expert are
investigating are looking into reports
of chorine-filled bombs in the rebeloccupied Eastern Ghouta area; on
Thursday, more than 40 people were killed by
the airstrikes in the Damascus suburb, according
to multiple news sources, but it has not been
confirmed if the airstrike was a chemical one.
Medics activists and Western powers in the
region told BBC that the government has used
more than six toxic attack in the last 30 days.
The government has dismissed the claims as
“lies.” These attacks are not the first to be
recorded in the nation of Syria, as similar
violence have occurred in 2014, 2015 and last
April when an aerial attack killed 100 people.
The United States and Russia have traded verbal
blows over the rooted responsibility of these
attacks. U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki
Haley told the Security Council on Monday that
Russia’s proposal for an investigative body in
Syria, “is a way to whitewash the findings of
the last investigation that Russia desperately
wants to bury,” according to CBS News.
Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia initiated
a body of investigation that would determine
the responsibility of these attacks against
the U.S.and its allies. According to the San
Francisco Chronicle, Nebenzia claimed that the
common goal is to work toward accusing the
Syrian government of using chemical weapons
“where no perpetrators have been identified.”
W
Cult busted for slavery in Brazil
Brazilian police arrested 13 members of
a religious sect for alleged enslavement,
human trafficking and money laundering.
The religious group known as the
Evangelical Community of Jesus, the Truth that
Marks was targeted by Brazilian authorities as
part of an investigation into the sect, according
to multiple news sources. Police raided several
businesses owned by the group and is currently
looking for nine more people, including the sect’s
leader, who is identified as “Father Cicero.” The
church is estimated to have approximately 6,000
followers, reported BBC. According to statements
released by investigators in Brazil, the church in
São Paulo convinced “vulnerable” and “fragile”
people to leave their families in exchange for a
new life in the countryside, and told them that
the sect was egalitarian so they would give all of
their possessions to the church. Once on the sect’s
rural businesses, people were not compensated
for work and would be under surveillance if they
travelled to local town. “The reality is this, it’s the
manipulation of the mind. The guys can totally
undo your life, make you leave your family,” said
one unnamed follower to Brazilian news channel
Globo G1. “When I opened my eyes it was too
late. And there were lots like me. And they had
handed over everything.” Brazilian police said
that the church’s hierarchy used the profits from
donations, as well as unpaid labor, for land,
houses and luxury cars, BBC wrote in a report
this week.

SPEAK AND BE HEARD
Using the power of spoken word and personal accounts of hardships,
Nigerian women shed light on the truth of the daily struggles women face.
Courtesy of Gretjen Helene Photography
By Kaitlin Hahn, Copy Editor
Illuminated by the 10 electric
candles held by 10 respective women,
the small OBERON stage was
brightened for the briefest of moments
to start a night dedicated to shedding
light on the stories of the Nigerian
women who have suffered the most
extreme hardships. They start off in
unison, swaying their lights together
as they move about the stage, only to
eventually go their separate ways.
This
opening,
introducing the women as
united is the first of many
in the production “Hear
Word! Naija Woman Talk
True” by Ifeoma Fafunwa,
illustrating the hardships
Nigerian women face as
they deal with oppression
and discrimination in
their country.
The
production
is
composed
of
varying
mini-scenes, each giving
different
perspectives
on events that happen
in life as a Naija woman.
From
heartaches
to
successes, the audience
grew entranced as each
actor gave her whole
heart, passionate about
the treatment of women
in Nigeria.
Each scene discussed
a different side to the
oppression women face
in Nigeria, ranging from
the pressure to marry at
the age of seven to losing
all your possessions and
rights when you become
a widow later in life.
Along with providing
an
insight
to
these
tragedies, the women
also took part in the
societal
reaction
to
these injustices, from
a mother rejecting her
12-year-old
daughter
due to her miscarriage
which resulted in a failed
marriage to a woman
dancing and singing to
fight off oppression with,
“I reject all limitations
placed
on
my
life’s
expectation.”
The women’s words
were
accompanied
with a three-man band,
providing
traditional
music with their use
of drums and cymbals
to create emotion and
complexity which worked
to solidify the message of
the scenes, drawing the
audience to open their
eyes to this world of
discrimination.
The simplicity of the
set, with each scene
having one prop per
character at max, added
to the meaning of the
message,
displaying
how much these women
actually struggle as they
try to make the best out
of their situations. The
traditional dress helped
identify the characters
in their different stages
of life, as simple dresses
showed the age of the
young girls, while the
wrap dresses differed
the mothers from the
children.
Besides the musicians,
no men appeared on
stage, which added to
the emphasis on female
empowerment. The only
mention of men in the
play happened when a
widower’s late husband’s
family came to take her
belongings
that
she,
herself had worked for.
The women who were
playing the “men” were
wearing dark clothing
and not in the light,
putting the focus on the
oppression the woman
was feeling as all the
possessions
she
had
worked for was taken.
The last few scenes
of the play focused on
the positives of female
empowerment, as women
took the stage totting
messages of self love
with, “How are you going
to love others if you
don’t love yourself?,” and
the wonders of women
enjoying the sex they
partake in with their
partners instead of the
expectation of having
sex for the enjoyment
of
others
and
not
themselves.
Each member of the
cast, standing in unity
with each other, listed off
the obscenities that each
scene dealt with, bringing
the audience face-to-face
with the oppression Najia
women deal with headon on a daily basis. This
summary, or condensing
of the production, enticed
great
applause
from
the audience, erupting
into multiple standing
ovations for the actresses,
musicians and director.
“Hear Word!: Naija
Woman Talk True” will be
running at the A.R.T until
Feb. 11 at the Loeb Drama
Center in Cambridge.

A
Spring Showcase 2018: an existential crisis, celebrating women
Felicity Otterbein
Arts & Culture Editor
Within the theater
community
lies
an
undeniable thirst to create
and
suspend
reality,
if only for the briefest
of moments. A hunger
to
create
passionate,
personable and personal
content is always on the
rise. At Suffolk University,
this
trend
remains
amongst its gifted theater
student writers, directors
and producers. Perhaps
one of Suffolk’s greatest
accolades is its ability to
showcase the talents of
its patrons in a way that
encapsulates each one’s
personality and character
on a platform that begs
for attention. This year’s
Spring Showcase does just
that.
Comprised of just two
shows this year, Showcase
offers up a pair of sinfully
creative and innovative
performances
that
displays the raw talents
hidden deep within the
floors of the Theatre
department.
However,
without
the
student
directors and their ability
to see beyond the barren
onyx walls of the Sullivan
Studio black box theater,
these creations may never
have seen the light of day,

and their creators the
chance to shine.
Though perhaps the
most inspirational part of
this particular event, is
the level of support that
circulates
throughout
the department. Faculty
supporting
students,
students supporting one
another - the current
system in place is so
self-sufficient, it draws
attention
into
itself
and tends to glow from
within.
Senior Theater major
Elektra
T.
Newman
described her gratitude
toward the department
and this year’s Showcase
for the continuation of
support and assistance.
“It’s a collaborative
process,” she said in an
interview with The Suffolk
Journal on Tuesday night.
“It’s inspiring, it makes
me feel happy that I’m
doing this. Happy and
proud.”
No stranger to the
stage,
Newman
has
had her fair share of
involvement with the
department
and
the
variety of productions
within it, all of which
she said, have helped her
reach this pivotal moment
in her career.
“It’s exciting and it’s
different obviously, it’s
kind of nice too because
I’ve gone through four
years of college and this
is kind of like piecing all
of that together and doing
design work and writing a
show, and directing. It’s a
lot, but I’ve had a lot of
help along the way,” she
said.
Newman’s production,
“Acting
101//Ames’
Room,” originally started
when she was in high
school. Taking inspiration
from the concepts of
teachings within various
religions,
Newman
described her show as an
individualistic
journey.
Newman said she noticed
performance
studies
aspect of theater in life
and religion and what it
takes to become more
refined self and reach a
higher state of being.
“You can take life and
make it a performance,”
she said.
Similar to Newman
is senior Theater major
Victoria
Isotti.
Also
a frequenter of the
theater
department
and its colorful array
of
productions,
Isotti
is all too familiar with
the concepts of theater
production and all that
goes
into
launching
a
successful
show.
Spending the past four
years
participating
in
other
student-run
performances, Isotti told
The Journal how excited
she was to finally call a
performance her own.
“This
is
different
because
it’s
more
personal,” she said. “It’s
my baby, it’s my show, I
created it, I cast it, I’ve
been working on it for
about a year now so it’s
not more meaningful it’s
just more of my own.
Which as before it was
always someone else’s
vision, now it’s completely
mine.”
Isotti is particularly
proud of how she was
able to combine two
passions of hers - women
and gender studies and
musical theater - into a
performance that would
be groundbreaking for
the showcase series.
“No one had done a
musical showcase before
so I was determined to be
the first. I really wanted
to do a show that I could
create, because I’m not a
playwright. This felt like
something that I could
fully be proud of,” she
said.
Isotti’s performance,
“I Enjoy Being a Girl,”
is entirely comprised of
women with a heavy focus
on songs and feelings
that evoke femininity and
what it means to be a
female.
“I just really wanted
to portray how women
have
been
portrayed
throughout the century
and i want people to see
that even though the
songs have gotten bigger
and brighter, that nothing
has really changed so far,
even though the portrayal
is still the same basically,”
she said.
While
the
two
directors prepped for
their performances, news
came just a week and
a half before curtain
call that their third
counterpart,
junior
theater major Sam Deans,
would have his show cut
from this years Showcase
installment. Both Deans
and Theatre Department
Managing Director James
Kaufman, in separate
interviews
with
The
Journal corroborated that
Deans’ show has only been
postponed until late April
to coincide with additional
Theatre
department
programming.
Spring Showcase will
run Feb. 8 - 11 at the
Sullivan Studio Theater
at 8p.m. Tickets are
free but reservations

Versace on the ground: tragedy in a fashion empire
Jacquelyn Jarnagin
Journal Contributor
Ryan Murphy’s latest
installment in his awardwinning
“American
Crime Story” franchise
has everyone talking.
According to Show Buzz
Daily, “The Assassination
of Gianni Versace” had
2.22
million
viewers
glued to their screen on
the night of its premiere;
by the following morning,
Versace’s name was the
most searched-for topic
on the internet.
While it will only have
nine episodes in total,
“American Crime Story”
has already proven itself
to be Emmy-nominated
material. The costume
and set designs are
absolutely phenomenal,
and
the
resemblance
between the actors and
the people they are
portraying is uncanny.
From the heartbreaking
emotions of Versace’s
widowed lover Antonio
D’Amico played by Ricky

Penélope Cruz as Donatella Versace in
“American Crime Story:
The Assassination of Gianni Versace.”
Martin to the tour de
force that is Versace’s
sister Donatella played by
Penélope Cruz, “Versace”
has all of the glamor, sex
and scandals that make
for quality television.
Undoubtedly, the most
unforgettable element of
this season’s hottest show
is its antagonist, Andrew
Cunanan. Portrayed by
the charismatic Darren
Criss, best remembered
as Blaine Anderson from
“Glee,” also created by
Ryan Murphy, Andrew
Cunanan is the true
subject of the series.
The first ten minutes of
episode one are a chilling
performance of the one
thing Cunanan would be
best known for doing:
murdering
acclaimed
fashion designer Gianni
Versace played by Édgar
Ramírez. From there,
viewers are taken back
in time — and inside
Cunanan’s mind — to
explore the events that
led to this shocking crime.
Only two episodes
have aired so far, but
that’s more than enough
to prove that this is the
role of Criss’ career. The
actor does a first-rate job
as Cunanan, capturing his
desire for attention and
the outrageous lengths he
took to be noticed.
Not much was known
about Andrew Cunanan
back in 1997 when he
shot Versace on the
front step of his Miami
mansion; as a matter of
fact, not much is known
about him to this very
day. This is not surprising,
as Cunanan himself was
a pathological liar who
made himself impossible
to find. One can imagine
how much trouble this
caused the FBI as they
embarked on what would
be dubbed “the largest
failed manhunt in U.S.
history.”
What little is known
about Cunanan lies within
the pages of Maureen
Orth’s “Vulgar Favors: The
Assassination of Gianni
Versace,” is derived from.
Orth writes of a man-child
obsessed with his image
whose reckless behavior
ultimately led to his own
self-destruction.
Cunanan’s final victim
was himself: a little over a
week after killing Versace,
Andrew shot himself in
the head with the gun
he had used to kill three
other people, including
Gianni Versace. He had
stolen this gun from his
first victim Jeffrey Trail.
His body was found in the
second-story bedroom of
a Miami Beach houseboat.
Andrew Cunanan, the
man “most likely to be
remembered,” finally got
the fame he wanted all
his life.
“The Assassination of
Gianni Versace: American
Crime
Story,”

JOBS NEEDED
International students are not granted enough
work-study positions, even though they have no
other options for paid work outside the university’s
By Alex Gazzani, Journal Contributor
S
everal
Suffolk
University students
have been speaking
up
about
the
difficulties of finding oncampus jobs to which
they might be eligible
for. It is known that
Suffolk has a very diverse
set of students within
its community, and yet,
many of them feel they
are not considered in the
work ambit.
Student employment
at the university is mostly
sponsored by the Federal
Work Study Program,
which
is
considered
exclusively for American
Citizens.
This
program
distributes
jobs
on
campus for full and parttime students, depending
on their demonstration of
financial needs. Since this
is the largest resource
for student employment,
the majority of the jobs
offered on campus are
based on the program,
which makes it hard for
the average international
student to find a paid
job
on-campus.
Even
though American citizens
are legally able to work
outside the university,
most
students
prefer
working
on
campus
because of its adaptability
to working schedules
and
concurrence
with
the
semester
calendar.
Nevertheless,
international
students
the student must be on
their sophomore year
of college, restricting
freshmen that want to
work.
It could be argued
that this matter has
transcended
into
a
national issue rather than
the job availability for
international
students.
Many of us are very
capable and willing to
work but, at least in my
case, whenever I found a
job I was interested on,
I needed to be eligible
for work study hours,
“Even though Suffolk
makes the statement that
diversity plays a big role
in our community, many
internationals feel left out on
working opportunities.”
who
want
to
gain
professional experience
find themselves within a
very limited option range.
Some of the few jobs that
they can legally work on
are teaching assistants,
residence assistants and
orientation leaders, but
even then, in some cases
just a concern at Suffolk
University because the
Work Study Program is
a governmental matter,
and used in every higher
education entity across
the country. “The thing
is, the university is not
considering that there
might be unfairness in
and since I am not
American, work study
does not apply”, said
Valeria Losada, a current
freshman from Colombia
in search of an on-campus
job.
Even though Suffolk
makes the statement that
diversity plays a big role
in our community, many
internationals feel left out
on working opportunities.
This is due to the fact
that the university is
the only place they can
legally work, and many
feel American students
who have other working
opportunities are taking
their spots.
Suffolk
sophomore
Claudia Sachs of Costa
Rica said, “If I could
work anywhere outside
of campus I would, but
I literally do not have
that option, and the
few opportunities that
I should have here on
campus are being limited
to
American
citizens
rather than for all Suffolk
students”.
On
a
personal
note, being myself an
international
student
who had a very hard
time finding an oncampus job, I can certify
that the limitation of
work
opportunities
here at Suffolk is rather
frustrating, because many
of us come from countries
where we do not have
the work opportunities
the United States is so
praised to hold. We come
here in search of a better
education and a better
way to gain experience
in our professional work
ambit, and having to
struggle with not finding
jobs in the only place we
are legally able to, can
really become a hardship.
So what could be
done in order to provide
more
opportunities
for on-campus jobs for
international students?
A possible solution
could be to create a specific
student
employment
program that focuses
on the distribution of
jobs for non-American
citizens,
as
well
as
opening up spots for
internationals in current
job positions that are only
available for Americans.
This way, our Suffolk
community
can
truly
become undifferentiated
ideologically, and the
international students can
gain the work experience
they deserve.

Most college students
impatiently wait for the
day they turn 21 and can
legally drink alcohol in
the United States. But
even before that day,
underage young adults
will find ways to consume
alcohol behind closed
doors from dorms to
dingy apartments.
Suffolk
University
is considered a “dry
campus,” meaning that
no alcohol is permitted
on campus or in dorms,
no matter the age of
the student, according
to
the
University’s
Student Handbook. The
goal of this policy is to
discourage
underage
drinking, especially since
underage students are
normally the ones who
live in the dorms.
This policy seems outof-date and ineffective
to
combat
illegal
intoxication. Just because
there is a rule in place,
does not mean that
students will not find a
way to break it. This also
allows students to drink
irresponsibly,
leading
to alcohol poisoning or
worse because there is
little supervision at an
age where many people
don’t know their limit.

Editor’s Word
O
Most of our lives,
there are advertisements,
commercials and stores
everywhere that promote
the
consumption
of
alcohol. The media and
film
romanticize
the
effects,
alluding
that
drinking is part of having
fun. So, it seems like no
surprise that even people
who are underage seek
alcohol.
A dry campus puts
the idea in students
heads that drinking is
considered
negative,
even though their whole
life, they’ve been shown
otherwise.
Something
negative about alcohol
would be if it is abused or
not properly consumed,
which happens to a lot
of young adults. If a
university still wants to
be a dry campus, it would
be helpful to include
alcohol education.
Moreover,
its
not
just
college
students
who are prone to drink.
For
example,
when
prohibition was in effect
in 1920, people still found
ways to drink alcohol,
even though it was
illegal. This goes to show
how banning, not just
alcohol, but anything for
that matter, is a waste of
time and can have greater
repercussions
than
educating others about
the subject.
Instead of limiting
access and spaces where
underage drinking can
happen, there should be
more done to combat
the promotion of alcohol
consumption.
The
university should illicit
more
conversations
around the effects of
being intoxicated and
the dangers of too much
alcohol in the blood
stream.
Precautions
should be taken instead
of punishment after the
fact.
On
many
dry
campuses, if being caught
with alcohol is punishable,
students are less apt to
go to university police
or resident assistants for
help. This could mean a
life or death situation, in
which a student’s safety is
at risk and the university
could be to blame. A life
is more important than a
rule.
This also closes the
conversation surrounding
alcohol and while most
students turn 21 during
college, they may not
know too much about it,
which leads to mistakes
being
made
in
the
consumption of alcohol.
And maybe next time,
even if they aren’t on
campus, they will still be
afraid to get help. Isn’t it
the university’s priority to
keep their students safe
and teach them?
Education can go a long
way toward preventing
alcohol-related
injuries
and
hospitalizations,
instead of making it
prohibited. If students
know they cannot have
something, it can make
them want it more, which
can lead to bad decisions
and more problems will
occur involving alcohol.
When
entering
Suffolk, all freshmen are
required to take a small
online course in alcohol
education, which is a step
in the right direction and
all universities should
follow suit.
However, there should
be more comprehensive
education
on
alcohol
and its effects. This
information should span
the course of each year
of college so students
are reminded to drink
responsibly and take care
of themselves, and each
other.
Overall,
education
is a key component to
combating the illegal
consumption of alcohol
and drinking responsibly.
Let’s start being more
upfront and honest about
these every day issues
instead pushing it under
the rug and hoping it will
go away.

alumna Lauren Spencer,
‘15, attended this years
Super Bowl as the Patriots
social media coordinator.
“I feel so lucky to be
a part of the Patriots
organization and learn
from some of the best
each and every day,” said
Spencer in an interview
with The Suffolk Journal
on Tuesday. “To travel
to the Super Bowl for a
third straight year was
something I’m so thankful
for. I am looking forward
to another great season in
2018.”
After halftime, Brady
and the Patriots offense
looked to dig out of a
10-point deficit.
The Patriots and Eagles
both traded touchdown
passes throughout the
third quarter, with New
England
scoring
two.
The quarter ended with a
score of 29-26.
The
Patriots
were
satisfied with holding the
Eagles to merely a field
goal to begin the fourth
quarter. The score was
32-26, leaving Brady and
the Patriots a chance at
taking their first lead in
the tilt. After charging
their way down the field,
Brady found tight end Rob
Gronkowski in the end
zone for the second time
of the night. After kicker
Stephen
Gostkowski
netted the extra point,
the Patriots took the lead.
With 9:22 to go in
the game, Philadelphia
needed a championship
drive from inexperienced
players. After a third down
stop, New England had
Philadelphia on the ropes.
On fourth down, the
Eagles went for it, again.
They managed to knock
off seven minutes while
completing the drive in
the best possible fashion:
scoring a touchdown to
give them a five-point
advantage. They were
two minutes away from a
stunning upset.
With
Brady
being
one of the greatest
quarterbacks in history,
the Patriots went onto
the field with confidence.
Brady connected with
Gronkowski on the first
play for eight yards.
Then, the Eagles made
a
game-altering
play.
Defensive end Brandon
Graham broke through
the offensive line and
got to Brady, knocking
the ball out of his hands.
The Eagles recovered the
football, and knocked the
wind out of the sails of
the New England offense.
The
fumble
was
the only real chance
remaining
for
New
England, as the game
came down to a prayer.
The Hail Mary pass by

game fell to the ground
un-harmed. Philadelphia

upset and won their first

Mulson is the youngest

said
sophomore guard Cam

he does a great job of

Mulson makes up for
his lack of height by being
able to stretch the floor
on offense. Suffolk’s head

been impressed with the
freshman’s ability to play
on both the offensive and

Eagles soar past Patriots
By Twitter user NESN
By Joe Rice, Assistant Sports Editor
The New England Patriots burst into U.S. Bank
Stadium in Minneapolis on Sunday with one goal in mind:
capturing the team’s sixth Super Bowl title during the
Brady-Belichick era and third in the past four seasons.
The only barrier that stood between the Patriots and
their goal was the underdog Philadelphia Eagles, led by
backup quarterback Nick Foles.
The Eagles started
with the ball and
their offense wasted
no time marching
down the field to
score an opening
field
goal.
New
England needed a
strong opening drive
to show they were
ready for the tilt.
P a t r i o t s
quarterback
Tom
Brady, fresh off being
crowned
regular
season MVP, looked
to get the New England offense going. With head coach
Bill Belichick, the Patriots have totaled zero points in
seven previous Super Bowl first quarters. This game
would prove to defy history in many ways, including
this stat. The Patriots netted an early field goal, tying
the game 3-3.
As the theme of the game was replying to Patriots
scores with scores of their own, the Eagles made quick
work of the Patriots on the next drive and scored a
touchdown in just over a minute.
As halftime was rapidly approaching, the Patriots
found themselves in a 15-6 hole to the Eagles. Brady
brought the Patriots back to the Eagles territory and Super
Bowl standout James White bounced off tacklers and ran
the ball in from 26
yards out to cap off
a 90-yard drive. The
game was now 15-12
and looked like the
Patriots were finally
getting
down
to
business.
With just over
two
minutes
to
play in the half,
the Patriots were
looking to make a
stop to potentially
get the ball back and
take the lead going
into the half. This was not the case, as Foles connected
with running back Corey Clement on a pass for 55 yards.
The drive ended dramatically, as the Eagles decided to
go aggressive and roll the dice on fourth down. On a
trick play, wide receiver Trey Burton passed the ball to
an open Nick Foles, who caught the pass in the end
zone. The half ended 22-12 in favor of Philadelphia.

Suffolk celebrates first-generation students
been recognized across
the country due to their
continued
dedication
in the pursuit of higher
education. Out of the
5,117
undergraduate
students
at
Suffolk
University, 34.6 percent
are
first-generation
college
students,
according
to
Provost
Sebastian Royo. These
students usually do not
have the same support
system or foundation of
knowledge to apply for
and navigate colleges
and universities than the
majority.
According
to
the
Department of Education,
50 percent of students in
2010 were first-generation
college students.
The Center for Access
and Opportunity (CAAO)
celebrated first generation
college students in the
Suffolk
Law
School
function room by inviting
students and staff to
speak on the difficulties
of their experiences and
the importance of sharing
their stories. Students
from the Upward Bound
program were also invited
to see what a future in
higher education might
look like for them.
Royo
praised
the
resiliency
and
the
determination of these
students in the pursuit of
Bellinger.
Bellinger shared that
one of his descendants
was a slaveholder from
South Carolina, while
another was an enslaved
person.
“History of the United
States is not one of
enslaved or free, but one
of both,” said Professor
Bellinger. In an interview
with The Suffolk Journal,
both professors stressed
that immigrants have
benefited from slavery,
even if they might not
have a direct link to the
slaveholders.
“The heavy lifting had
been done by enslaved
ancestors.
When
we
think about immigration,
we forget that part of
a reason France gave
the [Statue of Liberty]
is as a memorial to the
enslaved,” said Professor
Bellinger.
When coming into the
United States, immigrants
often came through the
port cities of the North,
such as Boston and
New York City.
Ross
emphasized the entwined
role
of
slavery
and
economics of the North.
“Earnings from slave
trading
funded
the
North’s earliest industries
and created the wealth of
much of the region’s early
economic and political
elites,” said Ross. That
wealth, according to Ross,
flowed into the founding
of
America’s
earliest
institutions of education,
such as Princeton and
Brown University.
Ross then argued that
the wealth generated
in the North and then
supported the South.
“Their
economics
were totally tied to the
system of enslavement.
The bankers of New York
funded the plantations of
the South,” said Ross.
With such an impactful
role that enslaved people
had in building up the
North structurally and
economically,
Ross
offered six interconnected
explanations as to why
memories of enslavement
have disappeared in the
North: “graudal attrition
through loss, destruction
of sites associated with
enslavement, incentives
for forgetting, fear of
retribution, feelings of
shame and reframing
of events and their
meanings.”
Bellinger argued that
it is not surprising that
people in the North
have
forgotten
about
enslavement
because
it
is
a
nation-wide
occurrence in which non-

First-generation
college students have
higher education.
“There are ultimately
no barriers, no limits
to what you can do,”
said Royo during the
luncheon. “At Suffolk,
there’s an extraordinary
community to help you
every step of the way.”
John Brown, a McNair
Scholar, spoke of his
experiences following his
journey from Jamaica.
He said he grew up with
his
grandmother
and
explained the difficulties
he faced when he applied
to college. Brown did
not have the support to
guide him through the
process, which he said
had convinced him that
he was not capable and
undeserving, of attaining
higher education.
Brown said he finally
attended a community
college, which led him
to apply for the Jack
Kent Cooke Scholarship,
a nationwide program,
which would grant him
full-financial access to a
university of his choosing.
Brown
said
during
his presentation, that
during his application
process, a professor had
told him that he was
“intelligent and capable
of succeeding.”
“A lot of pressure and
a lot of fear was inside
of me during this time,”
said Brown. “For the
Boston district, I was one
of three that got accepted
for the scholarship. That
was when I thought, now
I have to continue with
school. I was scared.”
Marty Elmore, the
program
development
coordinator for the CAAO,
spoke of the importance
of recognizing the role
first-generation students
play not only in their
communities, but their
families. These students
are capable of having
a significant impact on
their peers and younger
people.
“I think the intentions
and the expectations of
what you’re supposed to
do with your life becomes
a part of who you are down
the line,” said Elmore to
a Journal reporter in a
post-luncheon interview.
Felicia
Wiltz,
an
associate professor for
the sociology department,
spoke of how although
she may not have been a
first-generation student;
it was because of her
grandparents that she
and her children have
been able to succeed. Her
grandparents were unable
to go to college because
of their African American
identities, so working
hard became vital to her
parents’ ability to attend
university. Wiltz said
because of her parents’
experiences, going to
college was “just a natural
progression” for her.
“When I got my
masters and when I got
my PhD, I shed a tear
for the fact that my
grandparents
weren’t
there to see it. I think
they’re
looking
down
from heaven and are very
proud of the work they
did, to plant the seed in
me,” said Wiltz during the
luncheon. “So all of you
who are first-generation,
you are that seed. You’re
that solid foundation that
your family is going to
build on.”

American myths on slavery in the North exposed to Suffolk
Stiv Mucollari
Journal Staff
A false narrative in
American history has
been that the Northern
states were the land of the
free and that slavery was
confined to the Southern
states. Part of the reason
for this narrative is
because of the geographic
differences
between
the two regions. Unlike
the South’s plantations,
slavery in the North was
mostly relegated to the
cities. Due to the urban
nature of slavery in the
North, enslaved people
built various skills, such
as shipbuilding.
Marc Ross, William
Rand Kenan Jr. Emeritus
Professor
in
Political
Science at Bryn Mawr
College, and Associate
Professor
of
History
at
Suffolk
University
Robert Bellinger, hosted
a discussion to dispel
the false narrative. Ross
and Bellinger argued that
slavery was an entrenched
and supported national
institution.
“Americans
hate
history, but they love
nostalgia, and they love
creating false narratives
about the past,” said
“
Americans hate history,
but they love nostalgia,
and they love creating false
narratives about the past.
-History Professor Robert Bellinger
desirable memories were
erased from the nation’s
conscious.
For
some
of those who escaped
slavery, Bellinger argued
that they choose not to
pass on their stories to
avoid passing the burden
to the next generation.
Public
and
commemorative
sites
have the emotional power
to recover this collective
memory, according to
Ross. Likewise, Bellinger
said the memories of
people also have a role.
“For many years, it
would have been difficult
not to find an AfricanAmerican who had a
visceral memory with
lynching,” said Professor
Bellinger.
Bellinger
thanked
Professor Ross for using
the
term
“enslaved”,
rather than “slave”.
“It
shows
it’s
a
condition,
not
an
identity,” said Bellinger.
To
reverse
their
condition, Bellinger said
that
enslaved
people
were constantly active in
different
socio-political
movements, from military
service to petitioning the
courts.
Bellinger linked the
discussion to the founding
values of America.
“There is no one in
the United States who
believed more in liberty
then
the
enslaved,”
said Bellinger. “Liberty,
Freedom, Equality were
values that the enslaved
knew all too well.”
Bellinger stressed the
importance of researching
African
Genealogy
so
African-Americans
can
find about the origin of
their descendants. He
”
added that it is important
for
descendants
of
enslaved and descendants
of slaveholders to get in
touch with each other
and come to terms. This
would help contribute to
national healing.
Both
agreed
that
dispelling false narratives
surrounding enslavement
in the North is an example
of the discussions that
should be taking place
nationwide.
“Now
teaching history is more
important
than
ever,
especially with the way
it’s being twisted,” said
Ross. On the road towards
reunion, both agreed that
acknowledging history is
a fundamental step.

Marijuana future in MA still hazy
Nick Vivieros
Journal Staff
A cross section of
marijuana
smokers,
activists
and
curious
residents packed into
the first floor function
room of Sargent Hall
Thursday morning for
an
information-packed
and at times contentious
forum on the process
of
legalizing
and
regulating
recreational
marijuana after voters
approved legalization of
recreational
marijuana
last November.
Two
members
of
the
newly
formed
Massachusetts Cannabis
Control
Commission,
Kay Doyle and Jennifer
Flanagan, were joined
on the panel by Boston
City Councilor Timothy
McCarthy, Yes on 4
Communications Director
Jim Borgansani, and DJ
Napolitano, a member of
the State Senate Majority
Leader’s staff.
“Everybody
was
against this,” said Jim
Borgansani,
speaking
about the ballot initiative
that his group, Yes on 4,
worked to pass. “Most
elected officials. When we
started our campaign in
2015 with the signature
collection process, the
Governor, the Attorney
General,
the
Mayor
of Boston, the House
Speaker, most elected
officials, most mayors
were
against
this,”
Borgansani added. “But
people don’t take their
cues from them.”
A number of new
regulations promulgated
by the Massachusetts
Cannabis
Control
Commission,
the
governing body for the
regulation of marijuana
use and sales, have been
drafted to help safely
translate public opinion
into law. Commission
member
Kay
Doyle,
Deputy General Counsel
for the Massachusetts
Department of Public
Health, clarified some of
the key changes coming
to marijuana policy in
Massachusetts.
“We now have two
distinct groups in the
state,
patients
and
consumers,”
Doyle
said.
“The
healthcare
provider can vary how
much patients can have,
Commission
member
Jennifer
Flanagan
expressed the concern
that the “no” side had
over legalization.
“I will tell you that
I am not a fan of ballot
questions,” said Flanagan.
“I think it’s the epitome
of money in politics,
which I was criticized for
the entire time I was on
Beacon Hill, but it seems
to be when people bring a
ballot question forth and
millions of dollars are
thrown into it, it’s okay,
it’s socially acceptable.”
Boston City Councilor
Timothy McCarthy, who
represents Hyde Park and
Roslindale, voted against

because some conditions
call for a greater amount
of marijuana to treat
them.”
Medical
marijuana
patients enjoy the benefits
of a higher possession
limit specified by a doctor,
tax-free purchasing, as
well as being able to
register a caregiver as a
grower. Consumers who
elect to use recreational
marijuana
are
only
permitted to have one
ounce on their person at
a time. While the medical
marijuana program, which
appeared on the ballot in
2012, was approved by all
but two Massachusetts
municipalities - Mendon
and Lawrence - the vote
was far more contentious
this time around. Former
State
Senator
and
current Cannabis Control

ballot
measure.
McCarthy echoed many of
Flanagan’s sentiments.
“I don’t hesitate to tell
everybody in the room
that I was adamantly
opposed to the ballot
measure,” said McCarthy.
“I believe we need to all be
realistic. Ballot initiatives
are not instruments of
public policy.”
McCarthy
compared
Massachusetts’ program
to the one he saw in
Colorado during a threeday informational visit
focused on the state’s
marijuana program.
“We’re getting this
out of the gate a lot
quicker than it needs to
be. Meeting with all the
people in Denver, not a
single person disagreed
with the [approval of]
recreational
marijuana
THE Suffolk Journal
because it’s so much
more restrictive than
medical,” McCarthy said.
While he disagreed with
the outcome, McCarthy
clarified that he did
accept the results of last
year’s ballot measure.
Napolitano,
staff
member for State Senate
President Stan Rosenberg
(D- Hampshire, Franklin,
Worcester) and Suffolk
graduate student, touched
on how the Senate and
House worked to turn
popular opinion into law.
In
the
ballot
question,
both
the
regulatory
structure
and implementation of
legalization would have
been under the treasurer’s
office, he explained.
“We felt that the ballot
initiative set the tax rate
too low, around 10 to 12
percent,” said Napolitano.
“In the compromise bill,
we set it at a minimum of
17 percent.”
As
the
summer
2018
creeps
closer,
questions still remain
unanswered. The one
place of agreement for
the panelists: health and
safety.
“The reason [testing
protocols] are important
is that marijuana is
like a sponge. It soaks
up contaminants from
the environment that it
grows in,” said Doyle. “It’s
terrible for people who
are buying marijuana
illegally because goodness
only knows what is in that
plant that you’re either
ingesting or lighting on
fire and sucking into your
lungs.”

was like his go-to.”
The two had met
in years past through
mutual friends and ended
up taking the same class
during Shick’s freshman
year at Suffolk. After
some sly comments from
Haseltine, the two began
to form a friendship that
was rooted deeper than
a few casual per-chance
encounters.
Shick said that physical
stature was not the only
character trait that would
prompt Haseltine to stick
out in a crowd, as the late
philosophy major always
had the most bold and
brash ideology of anyone.
But while Haseltine
loved his horsing around,
there was a softer side to
him as well.
“Kid was a teddy bear
at heart,” said Shick.
“He'd stick his neck out
for anyone.”

Historic record of women elected in Boston
From DIVERSITY - 1
whose town of Saugus
had a turnout rate of just
22 percent this year.
The Boston municipal
elections generated a 27
percent voter turnout
rate according to WBUR.
This low turnout is
remains
an
increase
from the 13.63 percent
voter turnout in the
2015 municipal elections,
according to the Boston
Elections Department.
“We
need
to
collectively find ways
to
better
diagnose
this issue,” said Dion
Irish, Commissioner of
the
Boston
Elections
Department and Suffolk
Masters
of
Public
Administration candidate.
As
Commissioner,
Irish is responsible for
administering the work of
the election department
by registering voters,
recruiting
poll-workers
and training employees
for election day. The
commission also conducts
a yearly census on people
17 years and older. The
census helps to keep
voter lists up-to-date.
Between
fewer
campaign
resources,
“voter
burnout,”
and
a misunderstanding of
local significance, Irish
found reasons for why
voter turnout is low in
municipal elections.
“People may not fully
appreciate
that
local
elections have more of a
direct impact on them,”
said Irish.
This year, in some of
Boston’s most competitive
city
councilor
races,
candidates won by just
hundreds of votes, with
some margins as slim as
3.5 percent.
“I think [local politics]
have the potential to shape
lives,” said Cutrumbes.
“The more narrow margin
of votes needed to win
makes volunteering feel
more important.”
Irish
agreed
that
contested races increase
voter turnout. Mayor
Walsh had supported
a
bill
before
the
Massachusetts legislature
that would allow voters
to sign nomination papers
for multiple candidates,
as they can for state and
congressional candidates.
The bill would increase
accessibility
for
candidates to run for
local office.
However,
not
all
young people are as
involved as Derenoncourt,
Cutrumbes and McTague.
Pew
Research
Center
data in May showed
that millennials have
the lowest voter turnout
rates compared to other
generations.
“We’ve noticed that
young
people
don’t
participate at the same
rate as folks who are 50
and above,” said Irish.
Boston has launched
programs to increase civic
engagement and voter
turnout among young
people.
SPARK Boston Council
is one of these programs.
Specifically 38 of the
city’s residents aged 20 to
34-years-old serve yearlong positions on the
Council to advise Mayor
Walsh on a myriad of
policy issues in monthly
meetings.
This year, the Boston
Elections Department had
40 Boston public high
school students work as
poll-workers on election
day. The students worked
from dawn to dusk,
receiving school credit
for the hours they would
have been in class, and
a stipend for the rest of
their time.
“I think it’s a great
way for them to provide
community
service,”
said Irish, “and also get
engaged so that it is not
confusing when they have
the opportunity to vote.”
Irish
added
that
there has not necessarily
been
a
sense
of
misunderstanding among
eligible young voters, but
a lack of interest.
“I think because in
local elections there is
not as much publicity as
a national election, some
may just not know about
them happening,” said
McTague.
Presidential
races

turnout rates. In 2016,
the voter turnout rate in
Boston was 66.75 percent,
according to the Boston
Elections
Department,
which is higher than the

“ P r e s i d e n t i a l
elections typically have
a year of advertising and
marketing,” said Irish.
“So the day is much more
widely known, and the
resources are more likely
to draw people out to
vote.”
With voter turnout
higher this year than
previous
municipal
elections,
the
racial

the Boston city council
changed to reflect the city
itself; just one piece of a
national trend.
“I’m not sure what
the cause is,” said Irish,
“but I think it’s unifying
moment for the county,
that people can support
candidates can look like
them or do not look like.”

National relics prompt social discourse
From SYMBOLS - 1
reporter in a recent
interview.
“History is always told
by the people who hold
power,” said Cobb. “How
does that shift in [this]
day and age and how do
you move to healing?”
Madison said that the
great deal of miseducation
that is given to the
American people that has
led to a lot of everyday
problems
that
have
arisen in today’s culture.
Madison said that what
a lot of people do not
realize is the fact that the
economy was established
off the backs of people
who were performing
labor for free.
“The truth is in front
of us, we just haven’t seen
it,” said Madison.
Ross has studied how
and why the recollection
of enslaved people in the
north for hundreds of
years but seemed to have
disappeared from our
country’s memory. He
talked about how many
places neglect to tell the
full extent of a story if
there is not a specific
structure to represent it.
“It is possible to
tell a story without a
monument or statue, but
statues and monuments
help tell these stories,”
said Ross.
Ross explained that
even though the South
was looked at as being
“pro-slavery,” the North
was just as much as
involved. In fact the North
had the largest number of
slave traders, according
to Ross.
“It’s part of American
history and it connects
Charlottesville
in
important ways,” said
Ross. “We’ve got to
swallow that and say ‘this
is our history.’”
In 2015 in South
Carolina nine African
Americans were murdered
by white supremacist
Dylann
Roof
while
attending their church.
Citizens then called for
the removal of some
Confederate
statues,
which sparked the riot in
Charlottesville.
O’ Neill mentioned
that when most people
think about history their
thoughts are directed
towards the Pilgrims. He
explained that history is
much more complex.
“Statues
can
be
toppled. Statues can be
brought
down,”
said
O’ Neill. “What do we
replace them with?”
The Robert E. Lee
statue, which was at the
center
of
arguments
that
prompted
the
Charlottesville riots, still
stands where it is today.
Many citizens believed
that it should be taken
down.
Cobb described how
significant it is that
students
at
Suffolk
understand
why
the
nation is currently at this
point in American history.
She told a Journal reporter
that many students come
to Suffolk lacking a
deep understanding in
historical information.
A desire to create a
safe space and educate
students is exactly what
Cobb said she hoped to get
out of these discussions.
Cobb recounted the
events in Charlottesville
and explained that when
students returned back to
campus, the government
department
thought
it was best to put this
incident into a “broader
context.” The history of
slavery, the monuments
that we create and the
stories we share all added
to how we comprehended
this rally, said Cobb.
“I hope that [students]
feel that they look at their
public landscape with
more questions and that
they think about why the
statues that they see were
created in the way that
they were,” said Cobb.

Letters from an American transplant
WORLD COMMENTARY
Suffolk student expresses differences between Bogota, Boston
Juliana Sanchez
Journal Contributor
The American Dream
is a romanticized concept
in which hard work and
dedication
will
help
you make it big in the
United States - no matter
where you come from.
My grandparents on my
mom’s side are both Italian
and Polish immigrants
that came to the U.S.
looking for a better life.
They realized that hard
work and determination
would reward them with
economical stability and
success.
This mentality of the
American Dream was a
huge reason as to why I
moved here. In Colombia,
specifically the capital
Bogota, is where I studied
in one of the few bilingual
American schools.
Although an American
mother
raised
me,
I consider myself a
foreigner.
My first recollection
upon arriving to the U.S.
was for Christmas with
my mom’s side of the
family. Because Colombia
is a country near the
equator, we have
no seasons. As
we approached
Chicago,
the
white delicate
landscape
seemed different to me,
as I had only seen it
before in the movies. The
little me walking out of
the plane was amazed by
the white Christmas.
One vivid memory I
have was how self-reliant
and efficient everything
was. The fact that there are
self-checkout stations or
even trash cans that open
automatically was foreign
to me. In Colombia, in
supermarkets
or
gas
stations, there is always
an attendant to do all the
work for you.
Coming to a foreign
country, there were also
some fears I had - one
being the harsh labels
people might have of
Colombia. It is no secret
that Colombia has had
issues in the past related
to drugs and violence.
Forty years ago, my home
country was known as a
leading country in the
global cocaine movement.
When I came here,
I thought people were
going
to
think
of
Colombia as the Pablo
Escobar country rather
than my version. To my
surprise, none of that
narco-esthetic
idea was

jaded. More and more
people
are
starting
to
realize
Colombia’s
landscapes,
nightlife,
festivals and especially
growing music artist such
as Maluma or J Balvin.
This was all because
of the infamous drug
dealer, Pablo Escobar.
For many years, Colombia
was known as the “white
powdered country,” for
the narcos and for being
super violent. Although
the nation is currently
at peace, when TV shows
portray Colombia’s past,
people sometimes believe
that is the current state
of the country.
If someone was to
ask me what defines
Colombia, I would begin
talking about the nation’s
vibrant culture. On the
coast of Colombia, there is
a popular festival called El
Carnaval de Barranquilla.
This colorful carnival
is what represents our
optimistic culture.
As an international
student, I was bound to
see some differences.
Although,
in
all
honesty, being raised
by an American
mother
and
educated in an
American school,
I did not think
there
would
be
many.
However, I had some
cultural clashes, mostly
on
the
intercultural
communication side.
For example, Latin
people, in general, are
known for being very
touchy.
In
Colombia,
when we greet, we do it
by a kiss on the cheek,
from strangers to our
long-time friends and
family. Here, greetings
consist of a friendly
handshake
respecting
personal space.
The concept of time
also differs here. In the
U.S.,
when
someone
says nine o’clock in the
morning, this means nine
o’clock sharp, not a second
more or less. In Colombia,
we are very relaxed and
just fashionably late. If
we say 9 a.m., we really
mean nine fifteen, or nine
thirty.
As an international
student, there is a lot of
planning implied when
coming to study in the
U . S .
Suffolk international student Juliana Sanchez
From adapting to a new
country to fitting an
entire wardrobe in four
bags - there is a lot to
take into consideration.
Currently,
some
fears recurring amongst
international students is
President Donald Trump’s
travel ban. Although I
have a dual AmericanColombian
passport,
I could not help but
be a little scared. Our
neighboring
country,
Venezuela, may be added
to the list of countries on
the travel ban.
Although the situation
is very different, I could
not help thinking about
what would happen if my
country gets placed on
the list for a wrongdoing.
What if one day
Colombian
citizens
are banned from the
U.S., then
what? It is unfortunate
that so many are denied
various
opportunities
that the American Dream
offers just based on their
nationality.
All the aspirations and
dreams that many have
in a different country can
vanish in one snap. I could
not imagine being denied
access to schooling and
a better future here just
because of my Colombian
background. Even though
we are in midst of
political tensions, the U.S.
for me and many others
continues to be the land
of opportunities.

The leak has provided
further support to the
argument that individuals

States tend to have
more legal options to
tax breaks than those
with significantly lower
income.

said
Suffolk

“If

are
upset that some citizens
are holding their money

the way to handle the
situation is to reduce
taxes in the United States,
so people will bring back
their money,” Tuerck said.
“I can’t find anything
sinister
about
people
trying to minimize the tax
burden that they have to
bare,” said Tuerck.
The Paradise Papers
were
initially
leaked
to German newspaper,
Suddeutsche Zeitun and
later shared with the
International Consortium
of
Investigative
Journalism (ICIJ).
Suddeutsche Zeitun is
the same newspaper that
initially reported on the
Panama Papers just last
year, according to The
New York Times.

according to the Global

“The Paradise Papers
are problematic because
those who are associated
with President Trump or
represent the professional
committee would have
broken ties with what they
represented under oath,
so that is misleading and
also problematic in terms
of purging themselves,”
according
to
Suffolk

Political
Research Director David
Paleologos.
Nearly half of the
documents came from
the Appleby Law Firm and
500,000 more were from
Singapore-based
firm
Asiaciti Trust, according
to multiple reports.
Appleby is an offshore
law firm with 10 offices
around the globe with
their headquarters in
Douglas, Isle of Man.
According to the Appleby
website, the company’s
goal is to “advise global
public
and
private
companies,
financial
institutions, and high-net
worth individuals.”
In fact, political figures
such as United States
Secretary of Commerce,
Wilbur Ross and his
private equity firm, was
one of Appleby’s most
substantial clients.
Appleby’s
extensive
list
of
high-profile
clients leads them to be
accounted as members
up of the world’s largest
offshore
law
firms,
according to the ICIJ.
According
to
the
ICIJ, the incriminating
documents depict the
operations of Appleby
spanning from 1950-2016.
The documents came in
the form of emails, bank
applications and client
emails, among others.
The Paradise Papers,
allow room for people
to question motives for
putting money in an
offshore
account
and
how
others
perceive
offshore account holders,
according to Haughton.
“Now it may be that
we’re also cynical and
there are plenty of ways
of sort of avoiding taxes
within the United States,”
said Haughton. “Avoiding
is legal. Evading is illegal,
that’s the distinction. So
tax avoidance is a perfectly
legal process where you
try to minimize your tax.
Evasion is cheating and
that’s quite different.”
Appleby

their position in the

In Harare, Zimbabwe, the country’s army
has detained President Robert Mugabe early
Wednesday morning, according to multiple
news sources. Armoured vehicles were spotted
heading into the city just one day after the army
commander threatened to “step in” to calm
political tensions over Mugabe’s sacking of his
deputy on Tuesday, Nov. 14, according to BBC.
Eyewitnesses also spotted military vehicles
throughout the city. The ruling ZANU-PF party,
led by Mugabe, accused the head of the army,
General Constantino Chiwenga, of “treasonable
conduct,” according to The Independent. On
Monday, Chiwenga stated that the military
would not hesitate to step in to end purges
against former liberation war fighters. This
rising political tension is said to have emerged
from a time when Zimbabwe was struggling to
pay for imports, which has also caused acute
cash shortages. Although Mugabe’s rule has
been anchored by support from the military, he
does not tolerate public challenges, according
to BBC. Last year, the country was shaken by the
largest anti-government protests in a decade.
War veterans broke ranks with him in 2016
and have vowed to form a broad front with the
opposition to challenge his long rule when it
was thought that he would go into next year’s
election, according to multiple news sources.

Suffolk theatre explores intricacies of
shared grief in Anton Chekhov’s “3Sisters”
A timeless story with contemporary themes of love and loss, a performance bursting at the seams with emotion and
talent, Suffolk students and faculty delve into the minutia of human interaction.
Juliana Tuozzola
Journal Staff
Disappointment,
despair and discoverya play written over a
century ago by Anton
Chekhov
has
been
reimagined by director
Robert Kropf. The Suffolk
University
Theatre
Department has worked
diligently to bring Kropf’s
adaptation of “3Sisters”
to life.
The play follows the
story of three sisters in
the wake of tragic loss
and disaster. “3Sisters”
was reimagined in a
post-apocalyptic
world,
where
the
characters
take refuge in a library
after
an
abundance
of
catastrophes
and
suffering had occurred.
The group discovers
Chekhov’s play, which
enlightens them with
hope and will to move
forward.
Although
“3Sisters”
was written more than
100
years
ago,
the
messages
interpreted
from this story are not
only appropriate, but
beneficial for current
society to reflect upon.
“What
is
alluring
about this show is how
contemporary
some
of the topics within it
are, despite it being a
117-year-old play. The
story really goes to show
how much history actually
does
recycle
itself,”
said sophomore theater
major Liam Grimaldi in
an interview with The
Suffolk Journal.
Grimaldi played the
role of Baron Tuzenbach,
a
baron
and
an
acquaintance to the three
sisters.
Tuzenbach,
a
captivating character who
radiates joy and loyalty,
falls in love with the
youngest of the sisters,
Irina.
“Bringing Tuzenbach
to life is rewarding
because of how optimistic
and honest he is,” said
Grimaldi.
Robert
Kropf
rejuvenated this story
with his adaptation of
Chekhov’s masterpiece.
“Setting
it
against
a dystopian backdrop
changes how the play
resonates,” said Kropf.
Creativity is an art form
to Kropf which translates
on the stage, and it is
most prevalent when the
audience is able to reflect
upon society as a result.
“There’s
something
about the notion and
relevance of the creative
act and its significance,
which raises questions
about the importance of
art in a decaying society,”
said Kropf.
Kropf told The Journal
that he believes “3Sisters”
is an emotional play,
which will inflict heavyhearted feelings. Yet the
play is also humorous,
which he expressed that
he tried to embrace and
heighten in his versions.
“This play holds up a
mirror to nature better
than any play I know, and
the characters are flawed,
but they fumble forward
regardless,” said Kropf.
The story of “3Sisters”
is relatable and impactful
and shows that while
the human spirit can
certainly
relate
to
feelings of hopelessness,
this play explicitly shows
how people can channel
their disappointment and
propel forward.
“3Sisters is a play
about how disappointed
everybody is in life with
the cards they’ve been
dealt and how trapped
they feel in their own
despair,” said Director
of the Suffolk Theatre
Department, Dr. Marilyn
Plotkins.
This play is touching
and
emotionally
compelling because each
individual can connect
to a feeling of loss of
hope or loss in general.
What is impactful is
how the characters are
able to carry on, despite
their
grievances
and
circumstances and that is
what Plotkins capitalized
upon.
“What I find so moving
is at the end of the play,
when everybody becomes
aware of all that they’ve
lost and how they must
carry on; how they must
have hope.” said Plotkins.
Plotkins feels as if
the story of “3Sisters” is
a lesson on how to cope
with pain and losses, but
also
uses
storytelling
components
to
show
how to find ways to keep
moving in the world and
be hopeful.
“An immense amount
of effort is put into the
production.
Thankfully,
the cast is excellent. The
level of support amongst
everyone
involved
is
unlike
anything
I’ve
experienced before.” said
Grimaldi.
“3Sisters” will be
performed at the Modern
Theatre on Nov. 1618. Tickets are $10 for
Suffolk students and
members of the Suffolk
community, and $15 for
general admission.

ARTS BRIEFS Dance Company prepares
Graduate students
recognized for artistic talent
for fall showcase “Revival”
Suffolk students awarded by “Design New
England” magazine for designs that reimagine
retail and residential designs that are inspired by
the MBTA. Graduate students Yennifer Pedraza
and Julia Jenko were challenged to create a twolevel, retail and residential space on Newbury
Street in Boston for potential clients. Pedraza
took home first place in the student competition
with an entry designed for affordable, local art
with an owner living upstairs named “Artistic
Voices.” Jenko imagined a member-based test
kitchen that would challenge local chefs to make
healthy meals with all proceeds going to Action
Against Hunger - an organization devoted to
providing food security to people in need across
the world. Transforming potential spaces for the
future of clientele-oriented Newbury Street, the
two students are part of a growing movement that
is aiming to change the world.
Suffolk Art and Design Gallery
presents “Speak, Object”
The latest installment of the Suffolk University
Gallery on the sixth floor of Sawyer “Speak,
Object,” gives inanimate objects the power to tell
a story. Reflective of personalities and narratives,
varied works that showcase personal stories
and explore a multitude of cultures, gave these
pieces the opportunity to tell an otherwise untold
version of a story. Artists Caleb Cole, Judy Haberl,
Steve Locke, Greg Mencoff and Janice Redman all
submitted works to the gallery but were also asked
to choose an object from their private collection
to be displayed inside the walls of the exhibit.
The gallery will be holding programming in the
upcoming weeks that will present opportunities
for the Suffolk community to become involved
with the artists. Events will include a gallery talk
with the artists on Nov. 30 and “Talking Things,”
on Dec. 5 during activities period that will give
participants the chance to reflect inward on their
own personal stories and create a new narrative of
their own. This exhibit will run Nov. 16 - Jan. 16.
MFA, Harvard Art Museum
showcase Golden Age art with
Rembrandt, Vermeer
Seemingly overnight, Boston has become the
center for 17th- century masterpieces, as collators
gift both the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) and
Harvard Art Museums close to 450 drawings.
The first donation was given to the MFA as 113
pieces from the Golden Age added to the newly
established home for the study of Dutch and
Flemish art. Next, Harvard Art Museums were
given 330 drawings, finalizing Boston as the goto for drawings including Rembrandt, Rubens and
Brueghel. “You find the world depicted in such
detail,” said Arthur Wheelock Jr., a curator at the
National Gallery of Art in Washington and a leading
expert on Rembrandt, Vermeer and the other
Dutch masters, in an interview with boston.com.
“Whether it’s Rembrandt exploring the mystery of
the human psyche, or Vermeer’s wonderful sense
of grace and elegance, they capture all kinds of
worlds,” he said. The exhibition “Masterpieces of
Dutch and Flemish Painting” will run in the MFA
through Jan. 15. Select Golden Age pieces will be
on display through mid-January at Harvard.

Student choreographed work set to be displayed
at SUDC’s annual fall showcase.
Ryan Arel
Journal Staff
The Suffolk University
Dance Company (SUDC)
will hold its fall showcase
titled “Revival” on Nov.
15 to give viewers the
chance to see SUDC’s
talent and diversity as
they showcase six of
their routines. The show
marks the group’s first
major show since Suffolk
Weekend in October.
The
group
has
performed multiple dance
genres and has held
versatile performances in
the past, many of which
are choreographed by
the student members
themselves.
“Almost all of the
choreography
are
student
pieces.
The
choreographers
have
been working on them
all semester and have put
their heart and souls into
the dances,” said senior
marketing major and
current SUDC Production
Coordinator
Michelle
Lampert in an interview
with The Suffolk Journal.
“We wanted to have
variety in the pieces so we
have jazz, contemporary
and lyrical styles. We
have been rehearsing
them since September
and are super excited to
showcase our existing
members with our new
freshman,” said Lampert.
Despite having quality
participation and buy-in
from existing members
and new members, the
group struggled when
they lost one of their
rehearsal studios due to
its closing. Losing the
studio created problems
in the group’s practices
and their ability to see
how routines looked in
practice.
The Jeannette Neill
Dance Studio, originally
on Friend Street in a
Boston
neighborhood,
closed down earlier this
year due to skyrocketing
rent prices in the area.
Home to private dance
classes
and
spacious
rehearsal
space,
the
studio also served Suffolk
University’s
multiple
dance groups on campus.
“Because the studio
we used to dance at for
practices closed down this
year, it’s been difficult
to practice without any
mirrors. So that’s been
challenging to adapt to,”
said senior finance major
and
dance
co-captain
Shantel Vigliotta. “But
we’ve been able to go to
one or two venues for
practice before the show
to use mirrors.”
Though the group
has faced some adversity
stemming from the lack
of a better practice studio,
the dancers have stuck
to
their
preparations
and trusted the process,
“Almost
all of the
choreography
are student
pieces. The
choreographers
have been
working
on them all
semester and
put their heart
and souls into
the dances.”
-Michelle Lampert,
SUDC Production
Coordinator
running a two-day a week
practice schedule, with
three-hour practices on
Sunday and Wednesday
evenings.
All of the members
have been on board and
given their best efforts
regardless of the lack
of a studio produces,
according
to
junior
management major and
current Secretary Joanna
Fenerlis to The Journal.
“I’m so excited to
finally be dancing with all
of these girls for our first
show,” said Fenerlis. “All
of the veteran members
were pretty nervous going
into this year because we
lost so many seniors last
year. But the freshmen
that we took on have
been so awesome and
we all have really come
together and meshed as a
group.”
The
venue,
the

Vigliotta.
“The venue is great,
[there is] a lot more
space and amenities we
never had with Suffolk’s
theater,” said Vigliotta. “A
year ago when we had our
show there [at the Suffolk

there wasn’t space.”

OPINION
Sexual assault excludes no gender
Haley Clegg/Photo Editor
By Roxana Martinez | Journal Staff
L
ately there seems to be a new article out every week
The idea that men cannot be seen as victims of sexual abuse
about another round of sexual abuse allegations
stems from a culture that views men as masculine, strong
regarding Hollywood moguls.
figures that are difficult to overpower.
Anthony Rapp recently came out with his harrowing tale of
sexual assault, but his story is a bit more unique for one reason:
Rapp is just one of a few male actors to publicly come forward
with their own experiences of sexual assault in Hollywood.
In making the decision to speak out, Rapp reintroduced
the fact that sexual assault is a multi-layered issue that has
affected more than one gender.
Though he is not the first male actor to come forward about
his experiences with assault in the industry, the significant
amount of attention garnered around Rapp has shed a light
on an issue that is typically cast to the side when discussing
sexual assault: it is happens to men, too.
Famous for his role in the 1996 musical “Rent” and his
new show “Star Trek: Discovery,” Rapp described in detail to
Buzzfeed News about the sexual advances actor Kevin Spacey
made toward him when he was 14.
Figures such as Lupita Nyong’o, Gwyneth Paltrow and Rose
McGowan are some of the actresses that have come forward
regarding the harassment they have faced from Harvey
Weinstein. Now, male victims are coming forward too.
Rapp kept quiet about the encounter for decades, and only
chose to speak publicly about it because “there’s so much more
openness about talking about these issues, and so many people
are coming forward and sharing their stories.”
While it can be argued that sexual assault is more likely to
happen to women, it can also be said assaults made against
men are being swept under the rug and dismissed, especially
in the news.
Sexual assault cases where women are the victims and males
are the perpetrators, are often more publicized as opposed to
cases where the roles are reversed. This one-sidedness in the
media can make it more difficult for male victims of assault to
With the amount of overtly male-dominated institutions

enforced
culture.”
there are within the government, the workplace and even
the entertainment industry, it comes to no surprise that this
hierarchical power can translate into enforced gender roles,
and strict expectations from the sexes.
The problem is that this toxic mindset can have detrimental
effects to anyone whose experiences fall outside of this realm
of masculinity and femininity.
Look at the way Shia LaBeouf and Corey Feldman were
treated when they came forward with their experiences.
LaBeouf also experienced backlash by the media when he
claimed that he was raped during a performance art project he
was a part of in 2014. Choruses of ‘he was supposed to enjoy
it-- he’s a man!’ rang far and wide on social media, but when
LaBeouf spoke out about the trauma of the experience, the
details were anything but a laughing matter.
Feldman infamously went on “The View” in 2013 to discuss
the exploitation of minors in the entertainment industry, and
recounted his own experience with sexual assault when he was
a teenage actor. Barbara Walters criticized him for “damaging
an entire industry.”
The fact of the matter is that society still has a long way to
go in terms of dissolving this pervasive gender-role enforced
culture. The severity of which men are expected to be hypermasculine characters results in the dismissing of any narrative
that illustrates the opposite.
Hopefully, because of Rapp, Feldman and LaBeouf’s shared
experiences, the public will begin to take cases of sexual
assault against men just as seriously as those of women. Not
to mention, it will encourage other quieted male victims to
find the courage to come forward with their stories and seek
justice.
come forward. It reinforces the idea that male victims are rare,
and singular cases, as opposed to showing that they are more
common than people believe.

communications, has failed to inform
their students on moves that upper
administration makes-- once again.
Just after 2 a.m. on Wednesday
morning, the Boston Herald broke a
story that Suffolk has filed plans with
the Boston Planning & Development
Agency to lease a 180-unit apartment
building at 1047 Commonwealth Ave. in
Brighton, which is currently being leased
by Boston University.
While a tabloid-esque newspaper
in Boston picked up this story early
Wednesday morning, students and
staff will wake up with a blind eye to
yet another decision that the university
made with little correspondence with its
students.
The proposal is a “short-term, stopgap
measure” in order to fix this demand
for student housing, according to the
Herald’s article.
The Journal had ran an article weeks
ago and introduced the topic that
administration was looking into more
student housing. However, there were no
definitives. Without even an email sent
to the community or story on Suffolk’s
homepage on the university’s move,
our administration instead turned to a
tabloid.
We, The Journal, are disappointed.
As corporations across the nation
make closed-door agreements with little
spilling to the media, we, the student
body, expect more communications from
our university.
The university’s reputation on
disorder will continue with negligent
moves like this one.
O
The possibility for
women, minorities and
LGBTQ-identifying people
to be elected to United
States
offices
during
President Donald Trump’s
era became a triumphant
reality last week. Voters
provided the Democratic
party with its first round
of major wins since the
disheartening results of
the 2016 presidential
election.
The hope lost a year
ago when the Trump
administration
was
elected into office has
slowly been restored,
as the state and local
elections
represent
women of diversity who
align with the Democratic
party.
Danica Roem has been
elected as the first openly
transgender legislator in
U.S. history. Roem is a
former journalist who has
overcome the hardship
of hate speech and has
declared that she was
“not really a woman”
and “morally disturbed.”
Nonetheless,
Roem
persisted, and nearly a
year after her transition,
she
campaigned
and
devoted herself to become
a
lawmaker.
Roem
defeated
Republican
incumbent Bob Marshall
who had introduced a
“bathroom bill” that had
looked to restrict which
bathrooms Roem and
other transgender people
could use.
Roem’s
success
in
becoming the nation’s
first transgender member
of Virginia’s House of
Delegates is a victory for
America, specifically the
transgender community.
Roem’s induction ignites
a sense of hope that the
nation is moving toward
one
that
is
equally
representative
of
all
people.
Andrea Jenkins has
also made history as the
first black transgender
woman to be elected to
public office in the U.S.
She was elected to the
Minneapolis City Council
shortly
after
Roem.
Roem’s
and
Jenkins’
success had indicated that
the LGBTQ community
will not tolerate bigotry
or hatred, and will not
stray away from pursuing
and achieving their goals
despite opposition and the
existence of transphobia
and
homophobia
in
America.
Hala
Ayala
and
Elizabeth
Guzman
joined Danica Roem in
breaking political and
historical barriers. Ayala
and Guzman are both
the first Latinas to be
elected to the Virginia
House
of
Delegates.
These women represent
diversity in American
politics and their success
plays a major role to show
Hispanic women that they
can accomplish anything.
A voter approached Ayala
and told her that he
hoped she would inspire
his young daughter to
one day run for office,
according to The New
York Times.
An
outstanding
woman to mention and
a
democratic
victory
was
Jenny
Durkan,
who adds to the many
diverse victories across
the country. Durkan is
now Seattle’s first openly
lesbian mayor and she is
also Seattle’s first female
mayor since the 1920s.
These women and their
victories are telling of
what the future political
climate of America may
entail, one with an agenda
which is without hatred,
and one that both tries to
represent and to accept
all people.
This election year,
the U.S. offices grew
immensely
more
representative of people
of diversity who come
from
different
social
communities
and
backgrounds.
These
women

in the nation, women
are able to persist and

The Feminist Letters:
Everyone needs to advocate for intersectionality
to improve equality
Olivia Gorman
Journal Contributor
When someone says
the word “feminist,” most
people have an instinctual
idea
that
comes
to
mind about what that
concept means to them;
something
along
the
lines of gender equality,
sexism and ending the
patriarchy. When the
word “intersectionality”
comes next to it, however,
people do not know what
the term means and
how it relates to them.
Extending from the goal of
feminism alone, the main
objective of intersectional
feminism is to extend
equality to all women,
taking into account the
characteristics of these
women that impact the
discrimination
each
female faces separately.
To be more specific,
discrimination
in
the
workplace
showcases
why intersectionality is
a prevalent issue. Most
females in the workplace
will, unfortunately, face
discrimination based on
gender. Women of color
will face oppression not
only because of their
gender, but also due to
their race and ethnicity.
Whether it’s physically in
the workplace or on their
paychecks, the sex of
these women will inhibit
them from being treated
the same as men.
Women
in
the
workplace will face the
issue of the wage gap,
however the gap between
them will differentiate
based on their race and
ethnicity, according to
a study by the American
Association of University
Women. The underlying
issue of this situation,
laid in that by just their
physical attributes alone,
these women will be paid
less than their colleagues
and ultimately treated
differently because of
their femininity.
The
concept
of
intersectionality
is
crucial to feminism in
the 21st century, wherein
intersectionality is geared
toward calling attention
to issues in regard to the
oppression of women
based on attributes such
as race, sexual orientation
or class.
The
role
of
intersectional feminism
has been nothing but
progressive, and it has
proved to be enormously
effective.
Women
of
color are catalysts in this
movement, with famous
feminists such as Michelle
Obama
and
Beyoncé.
These women use their
platforms to speak out in
support of intersectional
feminism and encourage
their audiences to stand
united with them on the
issue.
To live in a diverse
city like Boston and to be
a part of a progressively
diverse
campus
at
Suffolk
University,
intersectionality
affects
everyone and needs to
be put in motion so that
women of color can be
just as empowered as a
white woman.
The issues a woman
faces on a daily basis reach
far beyond what meets
the eye, and these issues
stem even further for
women of color. Human
rights are ubiquitous:
they are intended to be
attainable by everyone.
Intersectionality
is
something that everyone
must pay attention to and
speak up about.
If feminism is about
supporting
women,
intersectional feminism
is about empowering the
black woman, the Latina
woman, the Asian woman
and all women. It’s about
speaking up for the
disable-bodied woman or
who emigrated from a
third world country. It’s
about knowing where
privilege lies and being
able to notice when some
people don’t experience
those same advantages.
It’s about advocating
for those women and
empowering others to do
the same.

Senior Bourikas looks
to join Lady Rams’
thousand point club
Matt Geer
Journal Staff
The
first
season
of
Suffolk
University
women’s basketball was
in 1982-83, and since then
only 11 Lady Rams have
eclipsed the prestigious
1,000-point mark. Senior
Georgia
Bourikas
is
looking to etch her name
to that list.
Bourikas recently said
to The Suffolk Journal
“reaching
the
mark”
is something she had
always wanted. The Rams
shooting guard currently
sits at 721 career points,
which means she will
have to tally 279 points
on the year to meet the
1,000 point mark. This is
not unfamiliar territory to
Bourikas, who scored 294
points in her sophomore
season, to the tune of
10.5 points per game.
Bourikas said helping
the team win games is of
utmost importance to her
compared to any personal
achievements.
“I’ve always wanted to
achieve the milestone of
scoring 1,000 points, it’s
in the back of my mind,”
said Bourikas. “But I’d
rather get a team win
than focus on individual
stats.”
Along with her natural
ability to score, fellow
Rams have said that
Bourikas has been a
tremendous teammate.
Junior
forward
Shannon Smith said, in
an interview with The
Journal, that Bourikas
had been known for her
hard work and leadership
on and off the court.
“[Bourikas]
is
an
awesome teammate, a
hard worker, and she’s
very humble,” said Smith.
“I don’t think I’ve ever
heard a complaint from
her, she’s just a great
leader to look up to.”
Coach
Ed
Leyden
recruited
Bourikas
during her junior year at
Fontbonne Academy in
Milton,
Massachusetts.
Leyden said in a recent
interview
with
The
Journal that Bourikas had
evolved into a prototypical
team player and had been
a model for this type of
play for most her time at
Suffolk,
predominantly
in the last two years as a
team captain.
“[Bourikas] has always
been a very down to earth
and welcoming person,”
said Leyden. “She is very
old-fashioned, she buys
into the team mentality
and is a mentor for her
teammates in that way.”
As
Bourikas
approaches
the
goal,
Leyden said that he would
be delighted if she were to
reach the mark. However,
he did not believe that
it was on the frontier of
her goals looking into
her final season with the
Rams.
Bourikas was set to be

a key piece of the team
her sophomore year, but
a torn anterior cruciate
ligament (ACL) kept her
out for the entire season.
Leyden said he thinks
that this experience may
have helped to shape the
way she thinks about
basketball.
“I’d be very happy for
[Bourikas] if she reaches
1,000 points, I think it
would be special to see
her name up there with
the others that have done
it, but she is more about
the team,” said Leyden.
“When she tore her ACL
her sophomore year, I
think it really made her
value just being able to
go out there and play the
game and help the team
win.”
Bourikas made it clear
that reaching the scoring
mark would be a very
humbling experience for
her. Because this will be
Bourikas’ final season, she
plans to use that factor as
motivation to reach this
pinnacle. She said she
wants to leave it all on
the court.
“The most motivating
thing for me is that this is
my last year of basketball
ever,” said Bourikas. “I’ve
worked for over 15 years
on this game and I want
to be able to say at the
end of it, that I gave it my
all.”

Rare award

WOMEN’S SOCCER
Women’s soccer senior presented
programs first CoSIDA honor
Courtesy of Suffolk Athletics
By Felicity Otterbein, Arts & Culture Editor &
Chris DeGusto, Managing and News Editor
Suffolk University’s Alexandra Nagri has topped
the charts as one of the most prominent studentathletes the university has to offer. The senior
joined only six other Rams as recipients of the
College Sports Information Directors Association
(CoSIDA) Academic All-District award.
Only nine times has the CoSIDA honor been
given to a Suffolk student, etching Nagri into the
record books, once again.
Nagri, a finance and accounting major, has made
waves across the Suffolk community and now has
been recognized, not only for her athletic ability,
but for her academic success as well. A co-captain
of the women’s soccer team, Nagri recently reached
the upper echelons of student-athlete success, as
she became the first Lady Ram from the soccer
program to be awarded the prestigious honor for
the first time in the program’s 11-year history.
“I’ve been playing with [Nagri] since freshman
year, and I’ve been watching her grow and improve
as a player each year, which in turn helps the
team as a whole grow and improve,” said senior
midfielder Erika Nelson in a recent interview with
The Suffolk Journal. “She brought great leadership
to the team as a captain both her junior and senior
year.”
As one of 14 NCAA Division III players in the
New England region honored for a combined
excellence of academics and athleticism with a firstteam District 1 recognition, Nagri has not faltered
in terms of focusing on what is important.
“Getting honors like this academic-based one at
the end of my senior year just shows that I put
a lot of hard work and dedication into the sports
themselves, but also my academics and that is very
important to me,” said Nagri in a recent interview
with The Journal.
According to Suffolk’s Sports Information
Director (SID), Amy Barry, in a recent interview
with The Journal, eligible students are nominated
by a university’s SID and must have a minimum
GPA of 3.3, play in 50 percent of the season’s games
and have at least a sophomore standing.
“When student-athletes are recognized for their
achievements inside the classroom it proves that
the department’s dedication to the true definition
of Division III student-athletes: student first, athlete
second; is in its true form and we, as a department,
could not be more proud of excelling in academics
and athletics,” said Barry.

statement.
Director of CHW Jean
Joyce-Brady confirmed to
a Journal reporter that
there has only been the
lone documented case at
Suffolk.
CHW
Nurse
Practitioner Karla Hoxha
Brown explained in a
recent interview with The
Journal, that symptoms
occur
two
to
three
weeks from the onset of
exposure to the disease.
Brown said that the
period of time ranging
from two days before
symptoms occur until five
days after they begin is
when someone who has
contracted mumps is the
most contagious.
Brown said that most
of the time a case of the
mumps is a mild illness
and treatment is labeled
as “supportive care.”
“You get sick, you get
the swelling, you get a
fever and maybe loss of
appetite,” said Brown.
This
method
of
treatment includes what
is
normally
required
for
viruses
such
as
the common cold or
influenza:
keeping
hydrated, taking antiinflammatory medication
to reduce the swelling
that may occur in the jaw
or cheeks or any over-thecounter pain reducer.
The statement was
sent to all students and
cited a 2016 advisory
from the Massachusetts
Department of Public
Health which explained
the
importance
of
receiving the Measles,
Mumps
and
Rubella
(MMR)
vaccine.
With
one dose having proved
78
percent
effective
and a second dose of 88
percent, the CHW advised
any students to receive it,
as the MMR is a required
university vaccination.
Said
Joyce-Brady
of the CHW’s alerts
regarding cases similar
to
mumps,
“Anytime
there's a concern about
a communicable disease
that we need to notify
students,
please
read
those emails carefully
because we include all
the information in there
in terms of what do you
need to do, what are
the symptoms of this
particular condition, how
is it transmitted [and]
where can you get help
and information about it.”

News Brief
MA bans bump stocks
Massachsetts has become the first state to put a ban
on bump stocks. The bill was signed on Nov. 3, by
Republican Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito of Massachusetts,
outlawing the use of accessories that morph semiautomatic firearms to machine guns. The gunman
on the Las Vegas massacre killed 58 people, a
situation made possible as a result of his use of
bump stocks, which use the weapon’s kickback to
bounce the trigger against the assailant’s hand,
allowing for the time in between each bullet to be
cut in half. The bill passed with little pushback, as
Polito signed an appropriation bill for the addition
of the ban while Gov. Charlie Baker was on
vacation. In the wake of the tragedy of Las Vegas,
a sense of bipartisanship has occurred between
the Democrats and Republicans, who both agree
on the regulation of bump stocks. “88 percent
of Democrats, 77 percent of Republicans, and
82 percent of independents favor banning bump
stocks. But while three-quarters of Democrats
‘strongly favor’ this kind of ban, only around half
of Republicans and independents do,” stated in a
recent poll taken by NPR.

Law School to stay ahead of tech curve
Courtesy of Suffolk University
By Kyle Crozier,
Senior Staff Writer
The
Suffolk
Law
School
established an online certification
program that will provide legal
professionals the opportunity to
stay ahead of the technological
curve.
After taking all six courses
in the program, the cost of the
certification will have reached
more than $15,000 for one student.
This program will encompass
several pressing topics such
as, “Design Thinking for Legal
Professionals,” “Legal Technology
Toolkit” and “21st Century Legal
Professions.”
Some
of
these
courses will be offered
starting in the summer
of 2018, and by the
spring of 2019, all six
will be implemented.
The Program Director
Gabe
Teninbaum,
is
also
leading
Suffolk
Law’s concentration in
Legal Innovation and
Technology. The subject
of this program is
familiar to Teninbaum,
as
much
of
his
experience has centered
around the increase of
efficiency in legal work
through the use of
emerging technologies
and processes.
Teninbaum explained in a
recent interview with The Suffolk
Journal the university’s step in this
new direction.
“The legal industry is changing
and everyone recognizes that there
are new skills and processes that
are needed to make students ready
for that world,” said Teninbaum.
“The challenge is being able to
actually deliver that education.”
The program puts a large
emphasis on the ability to reach
those who may not be currently
enrolled students, or those not
part of a Juris Doctor (JD) program.
Teninbaum described the focus for
these students as a opportunity
to introduce them to recent
innovations within their field.
“We’re taking this niche that
we’ve developed within our [Juris
Doctor] program and are expanding
it to serve more broadly,” said
Teninbaum.
Five legal technology leaders
were chosen to teach the courses,
diverse in terms of professional
background
and
geographic
location; ranging from locals to
Canada to the West Coast. The
possible distance between the
professionals and their students
is considered by Teninbaum to be
one of the bridges that a program
like this can build through the
online nature of its courses.
“Online education is nothing
new, but what is new is a program
for legal professionals to teach
them technology and innovation.
No one’s ever done
anything like it.” said
Teninbaum. “We are
creating a mold for
others to follow.”
One
of
the
instructors, Lucy Bassali,
has spent more than
ten years at Microsoft,
specializing in efficiency
and
automation
and
now is working to lead
legal professionals at the
software company.
Teninbaum
has
exemplified
TurboTax
as a program that has
made it simpler and
more efficient for people
to process their annual
tax returns without the need for
professional aid, a comparison
he makes to other legal services
discussed in the courses.
These classes are hoped to
work as a community-building
tool both to establish partnerships
with large companies as a source
to recruit skilled employees and to
potentially service legal needs for
people that were previously unmet.
“The things that we’re teaching
make services more affordable,
they make them better, they
make them more efficient, they
make them more accessible,” said
Teninbaum.
“We’re taking
this niche
that we’ve
developed
within our
[Juris Doctor]
program
and are
expanding it
to serve more
broadly.”

Political Pulse:
Student Loan
Crisis hits
colleges in Boston
Graduates across the nation are feeling the rock of
school loans, yet, Suffolk University students may
be feeling this weight harder.
By Twitter user WatchLatestNews
Maggie Randall
D.C. Correspondent
Boston is home to
an estimated 152,000
students
who
attend
the 35 various colleges
and
universities.
As
these
students
think
about completing their
education and preparing
for future careers, there is
a looming cloud plagued
with the future of student
loan debt.
“Students are aware of
at least some the effects
of student loans,” said
junior economics major
Vince Mastantuno. “The
underlying question is
whether or not students
objectively
understand
the dynamics of this
market for loans.”
According
to
the
Boston
Redevelopment
Authority, 45.3 percent
of
Boston
residents
have a Bachelor’s degree
or higher, and Suffolk
University has one of
the
highest
student
populations in the city.
“The
economy,
although it is growing,
is not enabling jobs for
graduates that will be
sufficient to pay of their
debt.” said Kathleen Engel,
a research professor of
law at Suffolk Law School.
The
Institute
for
College
Access
and
Success reported in 2015
that 75 percent of Suffolk
graduates leave with debt
at rates higher than the
national average.
“Students make the
decision of opting out
of a prestigious but
unpaid internship and
picking up another shift
at entry-level jobs, all
at a cost of passing up
a
great
opportunity
in the name of paying
our tuition bills,” said
junior psychology and
entrepreneurship major
Andrea Royo.
Although Suffolk has
remained one of the
least expensive private
universities in Boston,
with an estimated oncampus yearly cost of
$56,040, students have
noticed rising tuition
costs in recent years.
“The loan crisis itself is
characterized by students
carrying the weight of
exorbitant tuition costs
throughout their career
and well into the rest of
their lives,” said Royo.
One distinct aspect
of direct student loans
from the government is
that they do not require
underwriting;
students
are
granted
loans
regardless of whether or
not they can afford to
repay them.
“I think that before
assuming
any
debt,
the
borrower
should
fully understand their
loan,” said Mastantuno.
“Unfortunately, most of
us took these loans at
17 or 18 [years old], and
not everyone has a social
structure conducive to
understanding
these
factors before attaining
this debt.”
A study in April from
finance experts at New
York University and Boston
University revealed that
undergraduate
student
loans
are
dissuading
students from pursuing
graduate studies.
Engel
pointed
out
that student loan debt
is deterring graduates
from
buying
homes
and participating in the
market, which impacts
the economy as a whole.
She added that student
loan debt uniquely cannot
be discharged in a case of
THE Suffolk Journal
bankruptcy.
“Even when you get
a fresh start, you always
carry the burden of these
loan
payments,”
said
Engel.
Efforts toward student
loan
forgiveness
and
repayment made during
former President Barack
Obama’s administration
are being stripped away
by
President
Donald
Trump.
The
Trump
administration has not
confirmed whether the
Public
Service
Loan
Forgiveness
Program
will be maintained. TIME
Magazine in late October
explained that Obama
expanded the program
created
by
former
President George W. Bush
in 2007. According to the
Department of Education,
eligible recipients are
students who work in nonprofits or government,
and have made monthly
payments for ten years,
can have their remaining
debt waived.

has not reviewed any
applications
for
the
borrower
defense
to
repayment, a rule that
wipes the student loan
debt of those cheated by
for-profit colleges.
In July, Massachusetts
Attorney General Maura
Healey worked with 19
other attorney generals
to sue DeVos and the
Department
for
their
intention to rescind the
borrower defense rule.
“Since
day
one,
Secretary
DeVos
has
sided
with
for-profit
school executives against
students and families
drowning in unaffordable
student
loans,”
said
Healey.
Under
DeVos’
leadership,
the
Department decided to
stop disclosing student
loan information to the
Consumer
Financial
Protection
Bureau,
a
government
agency
tasked
with
creating
rules to protect consumer
finance markets.
“Too many students
don't know what their
rights are when it comes
to borrowing loans to pay
for school,” said State
Senator Eric Lesser in a
MassLive op-ed in March.
“Banks
and
servicers
often make the terms
as confusing as possible
and take advantage of
students with deceptive
practices.”
Lesser
and
Representative
Natalie
Higgins sponsored a bill
in
the
Massachusetts
legislature that would
create a Student Loan
Bill of Rights; appointing
a government official
to
protect
students,
disseminate
loan
information
and
put
stricter screenings on
loan servicers.
Engel advised that
as students approach
graduation, they should
contact their servicers
to understand their loan
payment details, an effort
she is confident Suffolk
would support.
“Suffolk cares a great
deal about what’s going
on with students in
whether they understand
their debt and what the
situation is going to be,”
said Engel.

Four more years with Walsh
Haley Clegg/ Photo Editor
“Four years ago, my dream came true:
you chose this son of immigrants
to serve the city we love.”
Suffolk
University
sophomore,
Student
Government Association
(SGA) Senator, Republican
and
campaign
intern
for Mike Kelley for City
Council for District 2,
Matt O’Brien told a
Journal reporter that this
election would serve as
a referendum to Walsh’s
job performance.
“Mayor Walsh has
proven capable in standing
up for all residents of
Boston,” said O’Brien as
he explained that Walsh
has demonstrated himself
as a reformer. “He has
stood up for working
families,
immigrant
families and to the Trump
administration.
His
speaking out on issues
such as the Paris Climate
Agreement and DACA
have put both himself and
the City of Boston on the
map.”
The lopsided race is
said to have exposed
some of the city’s most
imperative issues as well
as
stimulated
debate
over Walsh’s priorities
as mayor, with Jackson
leading the conversation.
“I
believe
Jackson
[ran] a campaign to hold
the mayor accountable,”
said O’Brien.
The
District
7
councilor, who lagged in a
recent Suffolk University/
Boston Globe poll by 35
points, had announced his
candidacy in January and
had immediately plagued
Walsh for his potential
big business ventures
instead of focusing on the
city’s most vulnerable.
“The poll is a powerful
validation
of
Mayor
Walsh’s first term in
office,” said Director of
the
Suffolk’s
Political
Research Center David
Paleologos.
After the defeat for
Jackson’s campaign was
announced, he vowed to
his supporters to continue
to push his message
for more spending on
schools instead of “giving
away” tax incentives to
big companies, such as
Amazon.
Walsh,
surrounded
by
reporters
at
his
celebration in Copley
Square, swore to continue
to fight for his free
community college plan,
housing
opportunities
across the city, to end the
surge in homelessness,
help immigrant families,
among
his
original
campaign promises.
“Four
years
ago,
my dream came true:
you chose this son of
immigrants to serve the
city we love,” said Walsh
in a statement to The
Journal
late
Tuesday
night. “I said then: we
are in this together. Every
neighborhood. Every race
and religion.”
Sophomore
SGA
Senator Sophia Romeo
said she saw proof of
Walsh’s strong re-election
campaign early on; with
his
name
“plastered
everywhere”
from
Hubway bikes to garbage
cans as a reflection of
his efforts on the city’s
economy and efforts for
small business owners.
“He’s taking Boston
in a direction where
it is competitive with
other progressive and
innovative cities,” said
Romeo. “The push to have
Amazon headquarters in
Boston is also important
to me as a students
since it will open up job
opportunities and boost
the culture coming to
Boston.”
SGA Vice President
Yasir Batalvi supported
the
Walsh
political
machine throughout his
campaign to strive for
another four years in
office.
“Under his leadership,
Boston has continued
down
the
path
of
growth, progress, and
development that we, as
residents, deserve and
the rest of the country
expects,” said Batalvi.
“He’s an aid to our
community, a help to
students and graduates,
and a mayor that’s willing
to take risks to push
our city toward the best
possible future.”
The Boston Globe,
U.S.
Senior
Senator
Elizabeth
Warren
(DMA), U.S. Junior Senator
Ed
Markey
(D-MA),
former 2013 Mayoral
challenger John Connolly,
Planned Parenthood of
Massachusetts, Attorney
General Maura Healey,
among others all endorsed
Walsh.
“After four years of
hard work, I believe it
more deeply than ever:
when we come together,
Boston,
anything
is
possible,” said Walsh in a
statement to The Journal.
“The choices we make for
Boston are not just on
election day. The choices
we make every day are
what bring us together
as a city. Across all our
differences, we vote with
our feet to come here,
and we vote with our
hearts to stay.”

National anthem protests conversed at Suffolk
Ryan Arel
Journal Staff
In
2016,
former
quarterback of the San
Francisco 49ers, Colin
Kaepernick, took a knee
during
the
national
anthem
during
a
preseason game as a form
of protest against police
brutality inflicted upon
minorities
across
the
U.S. Ever since, there has
been an array of opinions
formulated amongst the
general public and mass
discussion
regarding
the provocative form of
protest.
Students and faculty
gathered in Sargent Hall
on Thursday, as Suffolk
University
welcomed
Trinity College Emeritus
Professor of philosophy
Drew Hyland to lead the
discussion "On Our Knees:
Sports, Race and America,"
concerning the legitimacy
of kneeling during the
national anthem in the
NFL. Hyland, who played
college basketball during
his time at Princeton
University, is no stranger
to sports and their impact
on society and social
issues. He is also one
of the founders of the
philosophy of sport.
Though taking the
knee was initially seen
by many as an insult
to the American flag
and to the U.S. military,
Hyland pointed out that
Kaepernick
specifically
knelt to show respect.

not always remain the
case,” making reference
to

US launches airstrike amid political turmoil
Suffolk graduate reels from Somali terrorism
Amy Koczera
Asst. World News
Editor
As a result of the
recent truck bombings
and terror-attacks, Somali
people constantly live
in fear for their own
lives and the lives of
their loved ones every
day. For recent Suffolk
University
graduate
Fartun Mohamed, who
was born in Somalia
and raised in the United
States, the violent turmoil
in Mogadishu, Somalia
has turned her fears into
a reality.
For
Mohamed,
the recent attacks in
Mogadishu have left her
disheartened. Since she
said that both American
and Somali culture are
a defining aspect of
who she is in a recent
interview
with
The
Suffolk Journal, she said
that U.S. intervention in
Somalia could help the
situation.
Recently,
President
Donald Trump authorized
the U.S. military to
conduct airstrikes against
the so-called Islamic State
(IS) in Somalia for the
first time. IS extremists
have become a growing
presence in the country.
When
the
Somali
Civil War broke out in
the 1990’s, rebel groups
opposed to former Somali
President Siad Barre’s
military junta provoked
fighting and violence
throughout the country,
which ultimately led to
the central government’s
downfall
in
1992,
according to multiple
news sources. Ever since
the civil war, the country’s
instability has allowed
Somalia to become more
and more susceptible to
violence and disorder.
Since
the
Trump
administration approved
expanded efforts against
the al-Shabaab, an Islamist
militant group, there have
been more than a dozen
drone airstrikes carried
out against the group this
year, according to The
Washington Post.
“There is an estranged

relationship between U.S.
and Somali government,”
Mohamed said. “I think
that intervention would
help
strengthen
that
relationship.” In regard
to the recent airstrikes
against IS in Somalia,
Mohamed declined to
comment.
The national media
has
displayed
strong
views on whether or not
the U.S. should intervene.
However, Mohamed said
“No one agrees with
what’s going on there,
but we don’t have the
power to speak up,” said
Mohamed.
Mohamed
explained that since she
has strong ties to Somalia,
she empathizes with the
oppressed Somali people.
Additionally, Mohamed
conveyed that she is
extremely distressed with
the political uproar within
the nation. Mohamed
hoped for the unrest to be
New York Times.
“The country is in
turmoil,” said Mohamed
in an interview with
The Journal. “It is a
very vulnerable country
because of the civil war.
I know a few people that
have lost their uncles,
brothers and sisters.”
Mohamed also said that
she knows of one man that
lost his daughter: a girl
that had just graduated to
medical school in the U.S.
before,” said Mohamed
in
response
to
the
president’s
declaration
of the three days of
mourning.
“[Somalia] is easy to
attack because there is
so much disorder,” said
Mohamed. She said that
she feels the president
is doing what he feels is
best for the country. Yet,
according to Somalia,
there are a lot of other
upper class people that
“My parents talk about Somalia in such a nice way.
”
They talk about how it wasn’t always like this.
- Fartun Mohamed, recent Suffolk graduate, born in Somalia
that when Americans are
considering the crisis in
Somalia, it is important to
separate the politics from
the Somali people.
While
some
may
perceive and judge Somali
culture negatively based
on the violence occurring
within
the
nation,
Mohamed
hopes
that
Americans acknowledge
that the Somali people
are the victims of the
political crisis.
resolved soon so that the
Somali people can live in
peace once again.
On Oct. 15, Somalia
experienced its deadliest
terrorist
attack
in
decades,
according
to
Senator
Abshir
Ahmed,
representing
the Galmudug state. A
double-truck bombing in
Mogadishu killed more
than 270 people and
left at least 300 others
injured, according to The
and had gone back to visit
her family.
This particular attack
was so horrific that
the current President
Mohamed
Abdullahi
Mohamed
declared
three days of mourning
throughout the nation to
acknowledge the lives of
those that were lost in the
bombing.
“For a country that has
always been in turmoil,
this has never happened
want the country a
certain way so they are
using
their money to
rebel against politics.
Mohamed
explained
that the majority of the
violence that is happening
in Somalia right now is
due to a power struggle
between religious groups
and military factions as
well as social classes.
“There are too many
people with power there
that are butting heads
and the people are just
getting caught up in it
all,” said Mohamed.
Just one year after she
was born, Mohamed and
her family left Somalia
as the war progressed.
Despite leaving so early
in her life, Mohamed has
always felt attached to the
country. In addition to
knowing so many people
there from a young age,
she said her father is best
friends with the Somali
president and very closely
related to Somali politics.
“My parents talk about
Somalia in such a nice
way,” said Mohamed,
“They talk about how it
wasn’t always like this.”
Mohamed’s perception
of Somalia is far different
from her parents’. Having
only known the country
to be in shambles, it
is difficult for her to
appreciate her parents’
positive perspective on
the nation.
Since she was born in
Somalia and raised in the
U.S. Mohamed feels torn
between both cultures.
“I’m
reminded
everyday that I don’t
belong
here,
and
I
don’t
belong
there,”
said Mohamed. “I grew
up here and I love the
culture here, but I’m also
too western to feel like I
belong in Somalia.”
Still, Mohamed has
always been proud of her
Somali roots.
“I am very proud to
be Somali, I love the
culture,” said Mohamed.
“It is different for me
though, I only know
Somalia to be violent. My
parents tell me stories
about how amazing it was
when they were growing
up, but I don’t know it
like that.”
Despite the disorder
within the country today,
Mohamed indicated that
she is hopeful that the
country will someday be
peaceful again, “I hope
to back someday and
experience the Somalia
that my parents talk
about.”

represented.
This year, SUMUN’S
top priority has been
to continue to establish
SUMUN, discussed the
transformative experience
members have had in the
club, in a recent interview
with The Suffolk Journal.
“One of the great things
to see on SUMUN that
happens in a yearly basis
is when somebody comes
in as a new member,
specifically people that
haven’t had model UN
experience or small UN
experience,” said Wood.
“They’re quiet and timid
and they kind of sit in the
back and they’re eager to
be there, but they don’t
feel that they understand
the process and to see that
first couple of times.”
Wood
said
that
members usually start
to
gain
confidence
throughout the year. The
more they are involved,
the more they improve.
“You see them leading
workshops, giving talks,
you see them teaching
course material, you see
them teaching country
position and in the course
knowledge of country
relations.
The club’s meetings
are lecture style and
are conducted by either
an e-board member or
a professor. Professor
Michal Ben-Josef Hirsch
spoke at the last meeting
and explained a theory
for political strategy for
SUMUN’s diplomats to
use in the upcoming
conference. There were
not enough chairs for
the twenty eight students
that showed up in the
lecture hall, yet those
standing still took notes,
asked
questions
and
strategized.
Wood also commented
on going back to Harvard
this year for a conference.
“We would like to
go [to the Harvard
Conference] this year
with an honest approach
what to expect, I think
last year we prepared,
we had never been, we
anticipated
something
different than what it is.

the club’s legacy. Each
year the club has its
senior members graduate
along with most of the
e-board, so it is important
that they establish the
groundworks

the
future of the club.
The club wants to
make sure that in the
upcoming years their
students
have
honed
their skills for leadership
and that they are able to
speak in front of hundred

SUMUN spokesperson
Hamza Hammad said
he believes that the
club is a transformative
experience for whoever
participates
and
the
skills that members have
learned to succeed in
Model United Nations are
applicable in the future
as well. SUMUN has a
focus on international
relations but the club’s
priority is in growing
their rhetorical skill set
rather than expand their
So we would like to see
ourselves correct, and
prepared for that,” he
said.
Wood said that the
Harvard conference, by
far, is the most competitive
of all. SUMUN attended
a national conference
in Washington D.C and
another at Northeastern
University, but Harvard
is
an
international
conference.
Roughly 205 colleges
from 180 countries are
set to attend from around
the globe to come practice
model united nations.
Wood
explained
that
last year when SUMUN
attended
they
were
surprised by the extreme
competitive environment
of model united nations.
Yazid Abu Ghazaleh,
SUMUN president and
Suffolk senior business
management major, said
he was specifically looking
forward to obtaining the
Position Paper Award,
according to Wood. A
Position Paper Award
shows that the delegation
has prepared extensively
for their country, but to
the executive board of
SUMUN it means that
they were able to prepare
their students to the
utmost of their abilities,
said Wood.

Showcases grace, power through emotional performances of
Obsidian Tear
&

constantly being torn apart, yet coming
back together soon after. Conductor
Daniel Stewart masterfully took hold
of the performance as the orchestra
A swift but stark movement from
the conductor silenced the orchestra,
followed immediately by a tremendous
roar of applause that reverberated against
the intricate walls of the Boston Opera
House on Sunday, Nov. 5. A simple bow
was given, and then onto the “outbreak
work” of “Obsidian Tear” presented by
Boston Ballet. The show contrasted the
stereotypical aspects of ballet, gentleness
and grace, with power and control.
A performance that resurrected itself
from the goddess Nyx, volcanic rock
obsidian and the similarities between
the two, leads the viewer into a world of
pitch-black darkness and anger. A twoman ensemble began the performance
of a power struggle with jolted but
fluid movements, which allowed the
audience to ponder the significance of
the pairs’ synced motions. The difference
between the two men, Patrick Yocum and
Junxiong Zhao, were the colors of their
pants: Yocum was wearing red while
Zhao wore black.
Held in suspense of what the next
action might be, the orchestra intensified
the thought as the ending seemed near
until a deafening note was blown and the
melody continued. The two ballet dancers
gracefully struggled together as both left
no square foot of the stage untouched
controlled the ballet dancers motions,
like a puppeteer directing the puppets
every move.
“Obsidian Tear” was given a brief
interlude
where
the
performance
switched into a second choreographed
act. The dance consisted of an estimated
10 male ballet dancers who moved
rhythmically in tune with the orchestra.
This was expressed through a firm,
powerful atmosphere throughout this
installment, with the newly introduced
dancers assisting Yocum and Zhao in
their struggle to come out on top.
Each member added to the
power dynamic between the
two men, exacerbating
the
tension.
This
reigned true until
it appeared the
dancer
in
red threw
h i m s e l f
into a volcano,
committing suicide
and
sending
his
counterpart into a state of
grief.
The physicality of the act, and
the choice for the men to be shirtless,
supports the term “tear” in the title,
enhancing the struggle between the
by their motions. The choreographed
number portrayed the conflict as if
the ballet dancers were boomerangs,

two
men
and
eventually, the demise of
both. Each male tore the
other apart and the added
dancers in the second part
aggravated the already
tense condition.
“Obsidian
Tear”
was juxtaposed against
“Fifth
Symphony”
in
this showing by the
contrast in movements,
sets and the atmosphere
emoted by the dancers.
While “Obsidian Tear”
is a dramatic, colorless
and
overtly
negative
expression,
“Fifth
Symphony” brought light
into the second part of
the performance, after
the intermission.
Inspired
by
the
landscape of Finland,
“Fifth Symphony” exuded
a light and airy feel,
accompanied by an array
of pastel costumes. As
partners,
the
female
and male ballet dancers
depicted
a
storybook
fairytale. From this, a
relationship is fostered
between the sets and
is
carried
through
the entirety of “Fifth
Symphony.”
The energetic and fastpaced movements showed
the trust between the
ballerinas, and was needed
to deliver an impeccable
performance. There was
a clear difference in the
movements and motions
of
“Fifth
Symphony”
compared to “Obsidian
Tear” yet the unity
between the performances
was
apparent.
The
jolted
movements
from “Obsidian Tear”
contrasted
with
the
tender motions of “Fifth
Symphony” seemed to be
an intentional play on the
diversity of themes.
From the intense black
of “Obsidian Tear” to a
pastel green and pink
of “Fifth Symphony,” a
distinct comparison was
shown in set design.
As “Fifth Symphony”
transitioned into Act 2,
the orchestra created a
distinct ambience with
the lighter notes from
the flutes and the careful,
simple sound from the
violins. A very delicate
and gentle act, “Fifth
Symphony” left hope that
not all is dark. The attire
of the performers differed,
which allowed for a
dynamic
performance
with a different depth
than “Obsidian Tear.”
This
depth
captured
the many roles of the
ballerinas and the way the
relationships
enhanced
the performance overall.
The end of the show
was signaled by all the
ballerinas
stopped
in
place and the orchestra
silenced, thus giving way
to an eruption of applause
that lasted nearly a
minute. The dichotomy
of the two pieces showed
the profound use of
different choreography,
set design and costumes,
and shown light on the
talented ballerinas that
became the lifeblood of
the show.
The ballet company is
set to show the two-part
production of “Obsidian
Tear”
and
“Fifth
Symphony” from Nov. 3
to Nov. 12 at the Boston
Opera House.

Rick Schenkkan’s ‘Building the Wall’ explores
potential realization of Trump campaign promises
Kaitlin Hahn
Copy Editor
In
a
dramatic
realization of the future
regarding the current
political climate and the
threat to the American
people as well as those
within the U.S. borders,
the American Repertory
Theater (A.R.T.) hosted a
phenomenal exploration
into the questions of
the
Trump
campaign
promises with “Building
the Wall.”
In
this
dystopian
society, “The Wall” is
not a brick and mortar
wall frequently depicted
in
political
rhetoric
today, but a wall of
private prisons used by
the government to hold
immigrants who are up
for deportation. In this
reality, the government’s
response to the sheer
number of people who are
eligible for deportation,
is to begin executing
the immigrants they are
unable to accommodate
waiting to leave the
country, resulting in the
death of 25,000 to 27,000
people.
The play consisted of
two actors, both sitting in
a reading-style context.
The character of Rick,
played by Lee Sellars,
represents a white, male,
Christian supporter of
Trump. While working in
the private prison system
which becomes the home
of “The Wall,” Rick finds
himself in prison as he
becomes responsible for
the death of more than
25,000 deportees.
Rick
is
being
interviewed by Gloria, a
black female professor
played by Yvette Ganier,
who wants to get Rick’s
opinion as he finds
himself in the middle of a
humanitarian crisis. Rick
“Hope is
a political
statement.
Hope is
resistance.”
- Rick
Schenkkan,
Director
represents the scapegoat
of a series of choices
made by both himself and
his superiors, of innocent
intention on his part, that
lead up to a horrifying
consequence.
“The
play
is
a
warning,” said Schenkkan
in an email exchange with
The Suffolk Journal. “I
hope the play incites good
serious
conversation
among audience members
and results in their being
much more involved in
politics, both local and
national.”
After the play, the
actors were dismissed
and then a panel took the
stage, where playwright
Rick Schenkkan was joined
by moderator director
A.R.T. of Human Rights
Professor
of
History
and Literature Timothy
Patrick McCarthy, the
moderator of the event,
alongside the Terrie and
Bradley Bloom artistic
director in the american
repertory theater, Diane
Paulus and the director of
programs of the Phillips
Brooks House Association,
Matias Ramos located at
Harvard University.
Ramos, an advocate for
the rights of immigrants
and
co-founder
of
the
national
United
We
Dream
Network,
emphasized the role of
Rick. Ramos explained in
a question and answer
panel
following
the
reading, how Rick as a
character can be related to
supporters of the current
executive administration
both before and after the
election.
“Rick represents the
crisis of identity of white
people,” said Ramos to
the crowd. “Anyone and
any person is entitled to
be proud of their heritage
and background. We are
losing that to a political
identity that seeks to
alienate others.”
Paulua, an acclaimed
director
and
artist,
stressed the need for
reaction from the artistic
community
on
the
political climate, in order
for the people’s voice to
be heard and shared.
“I think the idea
of responding to the
moment we live in is
vital,” said Paulua during
the panel. “We who run
arts are always paralyzed
on how to react and how
to react quick enough.”
Schenkkan
deems
public
intervention
as critical to both the
prevention of the reality
he illustrates in “Building
a Wall” as well as what
he hopes to convey
to those who want to
become involved with the
opposition.
“Be aware and take
action.
It’s
important
to be awake and take
action. Hope is a political
statement.
Hope
is
resistance.”
“Building The Wall”
was published in 2017 by
Arcade Publishing which
includes an afterword by
McCarthy. The book is
currently for sale online
at Amazon.com as well as
in many local bookstores.

A
ARTS COMMENTARY
Sexual assault
allegations
reveal
Hollywood
has a problem
Nick Viveiros
Journal Staff
First
came
the
media mogul Harvey
Weinstein. Then it was
“House of Cards” star
Kevin Spacey.
Over the past month,
dozens of men and
women, mostly other
big names in the film
industry, came forward
and accused these men
of sexual assault. The
accusations range from
groping and sexual
harassment to sexual
advances on minors.
The list grew longer
by the day. As Dustin
Hoffman, Oliver Stone,
Andy
Dick,
Danny
Masterson,
James
Toback, Brett Ratner,
Jeremy Piven, among
others, have all been
accused.
While every one
of
these
accused
predators is worthy
of our attention and,
if found guilty, scorn
and punishment, the
excuses for inexcusable,
predatory behavior are
stunning.
"I'm
beyond
horrified to hear his
story," Spacey said in a
public statement after
actor Anthony Rapp
accused him of making
sexual advances when
Rapp was just 14-yearsold. Spacey went on
to say that Rapp’s
allegations "encouraged
[him] to address other
things
about
[his]
life," confirming long
standing
suspicions
that he was gay.
“I
overtook
my
medication and took
too many Xanax and I
was a bit loopy,” Andy
Dick told Hollywood
Reporter after he was
fired from an indie
movie over allegations
of sexual harassment.
"I won't do it anymore,”
he assured reporters. “I
won't lick anyone's face
anymore. We have an
agreement."
Any
attempt
to
sexually assault anyone,
especially
a
minor,
is an inconceivable,
inexcusable crime. To
try and defend such
a crime by hiding
behind one’s sexuality
or
medication
is
unthinkable and an
insult to the millions of
members of the LGBTQ
community and the
mentally ill.
If there is a silver
lining in the horrific
tales
the
accusers
have told, it’s that law
enforcement
officials
and the general public
seem to finally be taking
sexual assault seriously.
Production for House
of Cards, the Netflix hit
Spacey starred in, was
canceled after Netflix
said it would sever
all ties with Spacey,
according to BBC.
According
to
USA Today, officials
with the Los Angeles
Police
Department
are
investigating
accusations of sexual
assault made against
Weinstein, confirming
in a tweet that the
department
“has
interviewed a potential
sexual assault victim
involving
Harvey
Weinstein
which
allegedly occurred in
2013,”
adding
that
the investigation was
ongoing.
According
to the same report,
police in New York City
are adding additional
charges.
If the last month
has shown the nation
anything,
it's
that
the culture of sexual
assault, of excusing
the actions of men and
belittling the men and
women they abuse, goes
right to the very top.
The perverts among
us are no longer just
the lonesome creeps
on street corners, but
those we see on our
television screens and
in movie theaters.

OPINION
The US can offer help but should not do the dirty work
Ryan Arel
Journal Staff
Winning
is
not
everything. It should be
up to damaged nations to
rebuild themselves with
aid of the United States,
not leave restructuring to
U.S. jurisdiction.
The U.S. often seeks
revenge on its enemies.
And though the U.S.
can win with force and
diplomacy, when stuck
in
long,
prolonged
conflicts, it’s time to
rethink the strategy. The
U.S. has used its power
to protect its interests
abroad as well as lead
compassionate missions
aimed to better the lives
of citizens from foreign
nations. But from what
starts as plans to help a
country have underlying
intentions,
and
can
stimulate
resentment
against the U.S. among
the native populations
where the U.S. is involved
militarily. Furthermore,
the
U.S.
government
should not focus on
completely punishing a
nation.
The
U.S.
has
established itself as a
foreign
presence
and
superpower
following
World
War
II
and
surrendered and came to
an agreement with the
then USSR and the U.S.
following the dropping of
the atomic bombs on Aug.
6 and Aug. 9 of 1945,
history would read much
“The complete and
utter punishment of a
nation has seemed to
end in mass turmoil, and
cannot be the intentions
of the U.S. in any foreign
involvement.”
during the Cold War, an
ideological,
economic
and
military
rivalry
between the Union of
Soviet Socialist Republics
(USSR) and the U.S, the
U.S. dabbled its influence
worldwide.
When
nations
are
involved, and the deaths
of
innocent
civilians
are at stake, the cycle
of vengeance can be
very
dangerous.
For
example, had Japan not
differently.
The U.S. also needs
to reevaluate how they
help
other
nations.
Compassionate missions
for the pursuit of making
the lives of distraught
people in troubled places
better often turn into
long occupations and
resentment of the U.S.
from the people living
there. While aid missions
start
with
the
best
intentions to help people
living in countries where
the U.S. involves itself,
there is a turning point
where citizens of these
nations stop seeing the
U.S. as foreign aid, and
instead as occupiers. As
time goes on, involvement
abroad can develop more
implicit intentions, such
as economic reward, than
just bettering the lives
of those who live there,
such as in the Persian
Gulf, where much of the
world’s fossil fuel supply
lies.
Insurgencies are an
example of this and
how people react when
someone invades their
nation, like the current
conflicts in Iraq and
Afghanistan.
When the point where
new conflicts may arise
from
long
prolonged
occupations,
such
as
insurgencies, and the
sole purpose of initial
involvement is lost, the
U.S. must change how it
handles the situation and
move toward diplomacy
with other nations to gain
assistance on how to deal
with a problem instead
of constant occupation
and military action. While
U.S. muscle is strong, it
alone may not always be
enough.
For instance, in the
1990s, the U.S. and
coalition forces used their
might to oust Saddam
Hussein from the regime
in Iraq following his
advances into Kuwait,
which would threaten
the trade of oil from the
Middle East.
But the involvement
in Iraq in the early 90s
led to even more action
in the region, in the form
of a no-fly zone over Iraq
and the dismantling of
the entire country.
And now, nearly thirty
years later, the U.S. is
stuck dealing with the
repercussions in the form
of countless insurgency
groups, ranging from
civilians who pick up
arms off the ground and
fight, to large terrorist
organizations like the
Islamic State.
To keep repercussions
at a minimum, it is
important for the U.S.
to leave a nation before
resentment
takes
a
spike among the general
population, while the aid
is still seen as helpful,
not as harassment, or to
divide responsibility.
The
complete
and
utter punishment of a
nation has seemed to
end in mass turmoil,
and
cannot
be
the
intentions of the U.S. in
any foreign involvement.
The complete toppling of
a government, although
it may be a belligerent
regime, leads to years of
unrest in any nation.
Victory is no longer as
simple as the destroying
of a regime and the
forceful placement of a
new one.
To win is to put those
who do wrong in their
place, but finding a proper
stopping point, to learn
to coexist peacefully.
The U.S. military must
learn from its history.
When history is written,
it will not treat the U.S.

The Feminist letters:
Women around the world need to be
treated equally, not just in western culture
Shayla Manning
Journal Contributor
In
recent
years,
the topic of feminism
has become a loaded
conversation
in
the
media. Feminists are
often stereotyped as
‘angry liberals’ or ‘man
haters,’ when all they
are really fighting for
is political, economic
and social equality for
all genders. Due to
centuries of injustice
and
discrimination
against
women
in
many different forms,
feminism is a social
movement
that
will
likely never die.
What people often
fail to recognize is
that while we may have
‘fixed’ aspects of gender
inequality,
something
that remains on the back
burner of the discussion
is the physical and sexual
violence that women of
all races, cultures and
sexual orientations suffer
through daily.
Millions of women in
nations across the world
live a life they cannot
escape from, mainly due
to the horrors of abuse
inflicted by men. About
1 in 3 women worldwide
have experienced either
physical and/or sexual
violence in their lives,
according to the World
Health Organization. The
tragic truth is that this
number is growing larger
and larger by the day.
Many women choose
to hide the abuse they
experience daily, in fear of
what will happen to them,
or even their children. The
worst of it is that many
children fall victim to this
violence. It’s estimated
that 750 million women
and girls alive today were
married before their 18th
birthday.
While this happens
worldwide,
it’s
more
common in West and
Central Africa, with more
than 4 in 10 girls married
before age 18, and about
1 in 7 were married
or in union before age
15, according to the
United Nations Women
Organization. The most
disappointing aspect of
this disgusting ritual is
that it’s legal or ignored
in countries like Niger,
India, Mali, Bangladesh
and the list goes on.
The fear of abuse and
sexual violence is instilled
into a woman at a very
young age; because of
how likely it is to happen
to them in their lifetime
from strangers, current
or former boyfriends,
husbands and among
others. A study done
by the National Sexual
Violence Resource Center
reveals that 91 percent of
rape and sexual assault
victims are women. This
is not to say that men
do not experience this
trauma in their lifetime,
but by statistics, the
unfortunate reality is
that women are far more
likely.
For Americans, and
countless other countries
that live in a world that
jokes
about
women,
rape and violence are
normalized when they are
coming from the mouths
of men. We have become
accustomed to hearing
grown men make jokes or
even advances at young
women. Many women
actually see this behavior
as a joke, not a real issue.
It’s troubling that boys
and men around the
world are growing up
believing that acting in
this manner will bring no
consequences. It’s time
to teach boys and men
of all ages that the world
has changed, and women
will not fall subject to
disgusting and obscene
gestures and jokes.
We need feminism not
just for American women,
but also for women all
around the world. We
need feminism for the
women facing domestic
violence behind closed
doors in India. We need
feminism so that girls
in Yemen receive the
education they deserve.
We
need
feminism
to end female genital
mutilation in Egypt.
The fight for equality
for women is far from
over, despite how far we
have come.
In order for women
to receive equal benefits
and
treatment
as
men, change needs to
continue.

Editor’s Word
Enough is enough America. This
week, 26 more innocent lives were
ended without reason or purpose at a
church in Sutherland Springs, Texas.
A shooter walked into the religious
sanctuary during Sunday service
and filled the air with the hot deadly
venom of a country filled with hate
that no longer seems to seems to be
able, or willing, to protect its own
people. Who the shooter was is not
important, but that is not the message
given by the mainstream media.
After a massacre like this, we are
flooded with intricate details about
the murderous maniac’s life, as if the
answer somehow can be found in his
past. It doesn’t. There are a countless
number of mentally afflicted people
who could have taken the shooter’s
place. What does matter is what our
country failed to do. America failed
to protect the Holcombe family; nine
members of the family were torn
apart by the shooter’s assault rifle,
including an unborn child. America
failed to protect Joann Ward and her
two young daughters, who saw the last
seconds of their life pass in front of a
gun barrel in a church pew. America
has thrown away the lives of so many
over it’s religious devotion to firearms
and there is no end in sight. The gun
discussion is pointless in a country that
has proven time and time again that
it will senselessly kill until the masses
are numb, which they may be by now.
Every single bullet that cut through
the air in First Baptist Church was the
responsibility of our lawmakers. Parts
of the general public are so twisted
with hate that rights have to be taken
away. If not, we will continue to see
our fathers, mothers, wives, daughters,
grandmothers and friends parish
because of America’s lust for weapons
of war. They have no place in our
homes or our stores because American
society is so sick that it will kill at the
slightest provocation. To those who
scream protection for their guns until
their lungs are raw, wait until it’s your
family that taken by a deranged gun
owner. Then, maybe, the arsenal that
could outfit an army in your gun safe
would seem a bit like overkill.

coming, as accusations go
back as far as 30 years
and show no sign of
slowing down.
This wave of change has
undoubtedly affected the
Hollywood community, as
well as other circles with
the rise of support for
the victims in campaigns
such as #metoo. Sexual
harassment
spares
nobody, as its effects are
beginning to be seen in
all groups.
Anthony
Rapp,
Broadway star and Star
Trek actor, came forward
and
accused
Kevin
Spacey, a well-known
stage performer, actor
and producer, of making
sexual advances toward
him when Rapp was 14
and Spacey was 26.
Rapp described the
incident in an interview
with Buzzfeed news.
“He picked me up like
a groom picks up the
bride over the threshold.
But I don’t, like, squirm
away initially, because I’m
like, ‘What’s going on?’
And then he lies down on
top of me. He was trying
to seduce me,” said Rapp.
“I don’t know if I would
have used that language.
But I was aware that he
was trying to get with me
sexually.”
The
LGBTQ
community, which is often
the center of criticism for
conservative
America,
has been actively trying
for years to outlive the
stereotype, most often
applied to gay men, both
cis-gendered and not, of
pedophilia.
This stereotype has
caused many to not be
able to find jobs with
children, or participate
in groups with leadership
roles.
This
harmful
stereotype
was
on
the
decline
however,
supported by a 1970s
national
survey
done
by the Kinsey Institute,
stating more than 70
percent of the responses
indicated that people
agreed that “homosexuals
are dangerous as teachers
or youth leaders because
they try to get sexually
involved with children”
or that “homosexuals
try to play sexually with
children if they cannot
get an adult partner.”
In comparison to a
1999 poll taken by Public
Opinion Quarterly stating
“the belief that most gay
men are likely to molest
or abuse children was
endorsed by only 19
percent of heterosexual
men and 10 percent of
heterosexual women.”
The difference is also
supported by the actions
of groups such as the Boy
Scouts, who voted to allow
openly-gay individuals to
serve as leaders of troops
and the alike in April of
2015.
On Oct. 29, in response
to accusations made by
Rapp, Spacey addressed
both his apologies for
his actions as well as the
question of his sexuality,
all conveniently in one
tweet. “I have a lot of
respect and admiration
for Anthony Rapp as an
actor,” tweeted Spacey.
“I’m beyond horrified to
hear his story. I honestly
do not remember the
encounter, it would have
been over 30 years ago.”
Now that Spacey has
conveniently
shadowed
his pedophilia by coming
out as a gay man, he
is threatening to not
only take away all of
the progress the LGBTQ
community has made
to separate from these
harmful stereotypes, but
is also taking advantage
of the hard-earned pride
the LGBTQ community
has for someone who has
the strength and courage
to come out.
The issue lies not in
Spacey’s denial of the
allegations or in his want
to now live his life as
an openly gay man. The
problem is how Spacey
chose to come out and
the effect it had on the
LGBTQ community.
Any other method of
coming out, even putting
his apology and his sexual
identity in a separate
tweet, would have helped
Spacey to provide some
space between the two
topics, instead of treating
the two very different
circumstances as similar.
When
an
LGBTQ
-identifying person is
asked when or how they
came out, the person will
more often than not be
able to re-iterate every
detail, down to where
they were standing, of
the event and how it has
since affected their life.
So it goes without saying
that
when
someone
chooses to come out, it is
an extremely important
time and is celebrated in
the LGBTQ community.
Spacey has chosen
to take this step, which
can be deemed as lifechanging for some, and
make a mockery of it,
taking a page out of
the book of the current
president, and use a
revelation in order to
blanket themselves from
backlash.
The actions of Spacey,
both 30 years ago and
now, is not okay and
should not be tolerated.

Kneeling
sparks NFL
controversy
Rams score accolades
held off the Greyhounds
attack for most of the
game. He was close to
perfect through the first
two periods, until his
shutout was spoiled with
a goal late in the second
by Assumption forward
Tommy Mahoney. At the
end of the night, Levine
allowed just two goals as
he puzzled the opposition
helping the Rams secure
the 5-2 victory.
Forward
Brendan
Heinze spoke with The
Journal and discussed
just how reliable he and
the rest of the team feels
when Levine is in net.
“We know that with
[Levine], he will make
the saves we need him to
make and keep us in any
game,” said Heinze.
Glionna also said that
this was an important way
for Levine to start off the
year for the Rams. Coach
said he sees a tremendous
amount of potential in
his junior goaltender for
the season ahead after
his impressive game one
showing.
Levine did not respond
to
correspondence
from The Journal, as of
Wednesday morning.
“I feel like [Levine] had
a bit of a down sophomore
year and to see him
rebound has been great,”
said Glionna. “[Levine]
has the tools to be a top
goalie in the conference.”
Heinze also said that
the team embraced the
awards that the two Rams
won, and they were proud
to see that Levine and
Bucher’s hard work paid
off. He felt they played
an important role, not
only in helping the team
win their first game, but
setting a positive tone in
the locker room.
“I think it’s a well
deserved honor, [Levine]
and [Bucher] both had
great games and helped us
get a big season opening
win,” said Heinze. “Both
of them are hard working
guys, they show up and
work hard day in and day
out, it’s contagious.”
After the first week,
the Rams were able to
log their first win and
get a glimpse of potential
leaders on their roster.
The team’s record is

“This a long season
and a huge mental game,

or four games in a week
and it can be exhausting,
so all that we expect is
that you prepare yourself
for practices and games,”
said Bourikas.
Bourikas also stressed
that her teammates enjoy
the game while they’re on
the court.
“We’re

explained
Bourikas. “It’s important

Nagri expects that
every player comes in
and gives it their full
effort daily. A key to
maintaining a hard effort
will be to keep focus on
every situation according
to Nagri.
As the season is set to
begin Nov 15, Bourikas
and Nagri look to lead the
Lady Rams to a successful
season in their final stand
as collegiate athletes.

“Especially
given
their public visibility and
access to media attention,
I think it's fair to say that
athletes have not been
particularly active in civil
rights activities, which
is all the most strange
given that many African
Americans are successful
professional
athletes,”
said Hyland.
Of the students who
attended the conference,
senior
politics
and
philosophy major Norma
Buyund
agreed
with
Hyland’s point.
“Minorities who have
power, such as those in
the NFL should be the
ones to speak up, because
they
have
a
bigger
platform,” said Buyund
in a recent interview with
The Suffolk Journal.
The
lack
of
involvement by athletes
in civil rights activism
can be credited highly
to two reasons according
to Hyland: the setting
of a sports game as an
entertainment venue and
the
stigma
regarding
“jocks” perceived lack
of awareness to social
issues.
“Many fans, I suspect,
want it this way. Sports
games, after all, are
entertainment. Fans go
to games to have a good
time, not to think about
the problems this country
has,” said Hyland.
Despite this, Hyland
did point out that athletes
have been increasing their
involvement on racial
issues. He alluded to the
incidents in November of
2015 when the University
of Missouri football team
threatened to boycott
football activities. Two
days later the university
president, Tim Wolfe,
resigned
because
of
poor handling of racially
charged
incidents
on
campus.

With the first week
of the Commonwealth
Coast Conference (CCC)
play in the books, Suffolk
University
men’s
ice
hockey team had multiple
players recognized for
superb
performances.
Freshman forward Matt
Bucher took home CCC
Rookie of the Week, while
junior Michael Levine was
awarded Goaltender of
the Week.
In a recent interview
with The Suffolk Journal,
head coach Chris Glionna
said that he was proud
of both players, but the
strong performances this
early on in the season did
not come as a surprise to
him.
“We
had
high
expectations for both
players,” said Glionna.
“I was very proud to see
both players recognized
for the way they played.”
Bucher said to The
Journal how he was
satisfied
with
being
recognized for his stellar
performance
in
the
team’s first win against
Assumption College on
Oct. 28.
It was a busy night
for the finance major, in
which he took matters
into his own hands on
the offensive end. Bucher
scored the first of his
two unassisted goals just
3:47 into the game and
the second 10:28 into the
second period, increasing
the Ram’s lead to a 4-0
spread at that time.
“It is an honor to be
recognized as player of
the week,” said Bucher.
“I’m just happy I was able
to contribute to the first
win of the year.”
In Bucher’s first season
with the Rams, he is still
adjusting to the college
style of play. He told The
Journal that as the season
moves along, his goal is
to do whatever it takes
for the team to continue
to win games.
“The
biggest
adjustment has been to
the speed and physicality
of the college game,” said
Bucher. “I think the key
to continued success is
working hard and doing
whatever I can to help the
team win games.”
Another key to the
first big win of the
season for the Rams was
the 37 saves Levine was
able to make against
the Assumption offense.

Rams tip-off for turn-around season
Don Porcaro
Journal Contributor
As basketball season
inches
closer,
the
Rams will unveil an
unconventional
roster
on opening night. After
only carrying one senior
last season, the men’s
basketball team now has a
17-man roster filled with
juniors and sophomores.
Last season, the Rams
finished 7-19 under head
coach Jeff Juron. For the
15th straight season, the
men’s basketball team
failed to finish with a
win percentage above
.500. Despite this record,
Suffolk went through
many
obstacles
last
season and has much to
look forward to.
Junior center Steve
DiPrizio
averaged
13
points and eight rebounds
per game before going
down with a seasonending
foot
injury.
The loss of the 6-foot6 big man left Suffolk
undersized and depleted.
With no one else on the
roster above 6 feet 4, the
Rams struggled to find a
replacement at the five
position.
“It was tough for
everyone to see him
sidelined last season.
This year, he will have a
leadership role on and off
the court,” said Juron in a
recent interview with The
Suffolk Journal.
With DiPrizio ready
to go, the Rams look
to improve on both
the
offensive
and
defensive glass as well
as defending the paint.
“I’m back at full
strength. Our goal is to
win the [Great Northeast
Athletic
Conference]
GNAC Conference this
year,” said DiPrizio in a
recent interview with The
Journal.
If the Rams hope to
succeed, it will have to
start with DiPrizio getting
back to form down low
and junior guard Michael
Hagopian continuing to
connect from up top.
One point that became
very evident last season
was Suffolk’s ability to
score. No one from last
year’s
team
averaged
more than 2.5 assists per
game, showing Suffolk’s
inability to pass the ball
around the court. With a
plethora of point guards
on this year’s roster,
coach Juron

different
options
to
run
the
offense.
“It’s a constant battle,
but a good problem to
have,” said sophomore
point-guard Cam Powers
in a recent interview with
The Journal.
Powers is one of 10
guards listed on the
2017-18
roster.
With
solid depth at the guard
position, the Rams may
earn
t
h
e
respect
of
the coaching staff,” said
sophomore guard Conor
Reynolds in a recent
interview
with
The
Journal.
Juron and his staff
brought in a freshman
class that will help with
the lack of size. Alex
Jacovides,
Brendan
Mulson and Nate Ilebode,
all 6 feet 3, look to add size
to the forward positions
in the Rams’ rotation.
With increased size and
experience, members of
the Suffolk team believe
this is more than just a
rebuilding year.
Although the team is
young, the Rams believe
they can be a serious
contender. Carrying a
young team, Juron was
able to work most of
the freshman into the
rotation.
“Last
year
was
our
rebuild.
This
year we have much
more experience. We
can
definitely
make
a run at the [GNAC]
Championship,”
said
sophomore forward Jamal
Fiin in an interview with
The Journal.
Other names to look
for are Thomas Duffy
and Jim Djema. Duffy,
a sophomore, shot 45
percent
from
threepoint land and was a
constant name in the
Rams starting lineup last
season. Djema, one of the
few juniors on the team,
led the Rams in assists per
game last season. He will
be fighting for starting
minutes alongside the
many other guards on the
Rams’ squad.
Sophomore
guards
Jonathan Eng and George
Grillakis will also look to
build off strong freshman
seasons. Both were able
to insert themselves into
the Rams’ lineup last
season.
Eng made an impact
defensive end, averaging
a steal per game, which
was tied for the team
lead. Grillakis shot over
46 percent from the
field, which was one of
the highest totals on last
year’s roster.
The men’s basketball
season will begin on
Nov. 15, with a home
game against Brandeis
University. Although it
is early in the season,
many members of the
team pointed to opening
night when asked about
important games on the
schedule.
“It’s a new season. We
need to make a statement
right away,” said Powers.
