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that are no longer active at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.

Maggie Randall
Political
Commentator
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!”
This
week
Suffolk

Congressmen Joe Hoeffel
(D-PA)
and
Stephen
Kuykendall
(R-CA)
for
the annual “Congress to

by
the
Government

From Monday, Feb. 26
to Wednesday, Feb. 28 the
Congressmen had a packed
schedule that ranged from
breakfasts
with
social
science majors and dinners
with graduate students
to visiting government
courses
and
fielding
questions on a range of
policy issues related to
gerrymandering, veterans
and President Trump’s

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.”

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

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

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

the intricacies of the job.

next
steps
for
the
Democratic

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

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.

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.

Although there is an

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.

Gun control could start with Trump, progress with a Democrat
From TRUMP - 9
Trump
led
reform
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
political victory, one he
desperately needs with
his stagnant approval
ratings. Democrats gain
a head start on reform
that they have been
seeking since the Clinton
administration.

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.”

and trusting the team’s
offense to tack on runs to
win games.
“We’ll use small ball if
we need it,” said Chant.
“Generally we like to try
and get out to an early
lead for our pitchers.”
The
team,
having
lost some key players, is
optimistic about what the
new freshmen will offer
in the team’s pursuit of a
fourth championship.
“We lost a lot of
guys...Last year we had a
ton of good players,” said
Fusco. “I think the guys
we brought in this year
are going to step right in
and pick up where we left
off.”
With 15 new incoming
players, the team hopes
to quickly fill the roles of
players that were lost due
to graduation.
The team has worked
on and off the field during
the winter and the coming
spring in preparation for
the season, something

in an interview with The

and upperclassmen are

we can.”

Swinging for a fourth title

Asst. Arts Editor
The Suffolk University
baseball
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
“While the coaches poll
is nice recognition, the only

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’re feeling great,
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,”
said center fielder Chant
in an interview with The
Journal.

AMERICA,

The United States has suffered

that have occurred in churches

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,
airports, shopping malls and other locations where most Americans feel safe.

A Divided Campus:
After boundless mass shootings, Suffolk split on armed officers
Chris DeGusto
News Editor
Nick Viveiros
Journal Staff
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,

“I’ve mulled it over

with
several
people
about it, and there are
good arguments for and

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.

this same support may
not have trickled into

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.”

charges
against

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

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

that he feels that they

question but sometimes
if Cam thinks that I
or somebody else can

said Piemonte.
Breither declined to
comment and said all

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

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
a plea for
the voices
that can
no longer
speak;
the ones
silenced
by a
discharged
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
unobtainable when we face
obstacles put in place by
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
conversations with field
experts. To have to now utilize
a single channel is not only a
hindrance, it’s an insult.

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.”
The
seniors
seek
to earn a final-season
Great Northeast Athletic
Conference

championship. The Lady

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
young
talent
mainly stems from players
such as Duffy, who leads
the team in points with

had strong words in
regards to the overall play
of both Duffy and Mulson.
He noted they both had

on how they have helped
the team overall.

Juron in a recent interview

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.

and develop a leadership
coalition
program
between Suffolk’s SGA
and local high schools.
Referencing
former
SGA
President
Sean
Walsh’s term as a “time
of transition,” Gazzani
said that he also assumed
office during a critical
point for the university.
“After
[former]
President
[Margaret]
McKenna was terminated,
we were in a period where
the university was looking
for stability again,” said
Gazzani, who is also a
sitting student member
on Suffolk’s Presidential
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
Courtesy of Daniel Gazzani
“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

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

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.

BREAKING: Host nation for Americas
summit withdraws invitation to Maduro
over Venezuela’s early presidential
election.
WORLD
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
in a sense... Just because
it was so funny and it kind
of showed how humor

is still in other cultures

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

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.

“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.

A discussion surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian

that my attempt at living

that in order to believe
there soon be a shared

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

Israelis] will share the

“Infinity War” is the

all waiting for.
While Marvel has
had greater success than
DC Comics in terms of
movies in recent years,
“Infinity War” needs to
amp up its game after
the previous “Avengers”
flick, “Age of Ultron.”
That movie shouldn’t
have opened right in
the middle of a battle
scene, and there were
many plot points that
went
unexplained
(Since when are Natasha
Romanoff and Bruce

“Infinity War” avoids
these mistakes, it should
do all right with fans
and critics alike.

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
Hard;” it’s the upcoming
(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
looked like a huge waste
of money.

seems that most movie
companies today are
somewhat lazy; rather
than creating a fresh

of people to enjoy, they
just decide to continue
to make sequels of
movies that really don’t

Take
“Jurassic

for
example.

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

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
Wars Story” is trying to
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
attorney Darrell Castle

the
Constitution
Party, in 10 states,
Independent
Evan
McMullin, former CIA
agent and chief policy

Republican Conference,

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

sports produce future

screaming, rowdy, and

cash flow to compensate

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

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 co-President of
the
Women’s
March
Tamika Mallory came
by Suffolk University,
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
on
Deferred
Action
for Childhood Arrivals
(DACA),
Temporary
Protected Status (TPS)
cannot afford to stay
silent on politics. Those
targeted by the “Muslim
Ban” could not stay silent
on politics. Those who
aren’t targeted by this
monster known as 35
should not stay silent on
politics. No one should
have the right to ignore
politics, as politics affect
every aspect of our dayto-day lives.
Without it, we would
not have any language
to communicate how our
rights should be upheld.
It’s the reason we have
rights, and it’s the reason
we’re able to fight for
more rights.

One

that
sticks out is DiCecco’s
ability to stay in the

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

6.4

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

ends
the

and innovation for energy
production. His plan also risks

American jobs this year, including

it will result in the delay or

said the Solar Energy Industries
Association. “These [tariffs] will
create a crisis in a part of our

which will ultimately cost tens of
thousands of hard-working, bluecollar Americans their jobs.”
Feijoo remains optimistic on

“Even though it’s grim right
now, it’s giving me hope that
there’s backlash to this decision

Journal Staff
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,

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.

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

2017. The series invites

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
showed a lot of solidarity

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.

The world at-large
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.”

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
By Twitter user @ACSFX
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,”
airs
Wednesdays at 10 p.m.
on FX.

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.

An advice to the next leader,
whether they have been at the
university or not:
Be student driven by asking
what students want. Get them
engaged in major decisions and
we guarantee, alumni will donate,
more students will apply and the
enthusiasm for Suffolk will grow.
But, stop assuming what the
students need.

Two years ago, Suffolk was in

Suffolk needs a new direction, a

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
Brady at the end of the
game fell to the ground
un-harmed. Philadelphia
completed
a
massive
upset and won their first
ever Super Bowl title, 4133.
“I’m proud of the way

member of the trilogy
with about 12 points-pergame.

defenders,”
said
sophomore guard Cam

with The Journal. “He’s
normally guarding bigger
players than him and
he does a great job of
bringing toughness and
grit to our team.”
Mulson makes up for
his lack of height by being
able to stretch the floor
on offense. Suffolk’s head
coach, Jeff Juron, has
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

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.”

where it's like scary. It
was more just like- this
big kid’s saying ridiculous
things near you. He would
always at midnight say
things like ‘good morning’
to people, or ask them for
pre-peeled bananas. That
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
usually result in higher
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
national rate.
“ 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
and gender makeup of
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

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

more legal options to

with significantly lower

the way to handle the
situation is to reduce

so people will bring back

“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

“The Paradise Papers
are problematic because
those who are associated

broken ties with what they
represented under oath,
so that is misleading and
also problematic in terms
of purging themselves,”

Nearly half of the

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

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

firms,
according to the ICIJ.
According
to
the
ICIJ, the incriminating

operations of Appleby

emails, among others.

“Now it may be that
we’re also cynical and
there are plenty of ways
of sort of avoiding taxes

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.”

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.

Later Hariri appeared on television reading a

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.

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
Calderwood Pavilion at
527 Tremont Street, will
give the group more
space to perform as well
as allow for a much larger
audience than the Modern
Theater at Suffolk. The
group will have a larger
stage and dressing room
as well, according to
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
Theater] we had to stop
letting people in because
there wasn’t space.”
The SUDC will perform
with
supplementary
performances
from
Passion Latin, W!cked,
Rampage and an outside
dance group, according to
Lampert.
Tickets are free of
charge and can be found
through the group’s
Facebook page. Preregistration is required.

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

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
are
incredible role models for
all Americans, especially
for that of young girls
and women.
They
have
proven
that despite the current
presidency
and
the
existence of opposition
in the nation, women
are able to persist and
succeed.

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
granted to

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.

Undergraduate student
diagnosed with mumps
Chris DeGusto
News Editor
One Suffolk University
student was diagnosed
with a case of the mumps,
according to a statement
last week from the office
of Counseling Health &
Wellness (CHW).
Suffolk’s CHW has
worked
closely
with
Boston
city
health
officials
to
ensure
proper treatment to any
individuals
that
may
have come in proximity
with the virally-infected
student, according to the
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.

The

established an online certification
program that will provide legal
professionals the opportunity to
stay ahead of the technological

After taking all six courses
in the program, the cost of the
certification will have reached

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.

Senators,
including

Secretary Betsy DeVos

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.

noted
that
kneeling is seen as a

gesture

“It’s good to just

“The tradition in this
country [is] of nonviolent
resistance which is very,
very important; but it did
not always remain the
case,” making reference
to
the
Civil

Movement of the 1960’s.

how athletes in the past

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.

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.”

SUMUN receives nine awards
Andres Rodrigez
Journal Contributor
Suffolk
University
Model United Nations
(SUMUN)
won nine
awards at two conferences,
one
at
Northeastern
and in Washington D.C.
last weekend. SUMUN
represented Mexico in
Washington
D.C
and
Jordan and Saudi Arabia
at Northeastern.
SUMUN
won
the
“Position Paper Award”,
“Outstanding Delegation
Award” and “Outstanding
Delegate Award” in D.C.
Schools traveled from
all over the country in
order to compete with
each
other.
SUMUN
prepared on weekdays
and weekends for three
weeks to act as diplomats
who debate and negotiate
for the countries they
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
for
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
and negotiate to their
success, according to club
spokespeople.

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

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.

Spacey’s career topples as
more men accuse him
Kevin Spacey has been accused of sexually assaulting multiple men in Hollywood,
with some underage at the time. Once the information was released, Spacey decided
to come out as gay in an attempt to distract the world from his wrongdoings. The list
of accusers continues to grow.

As more and more
victims of Hollywood’s
past sexual abuse come
forward,
the
world
watches as everyone from
actors to producers fall
in the face of their own
wrongdoings. Not only
is this done rightfully so,
but has been a long time
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

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.

“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.

everal of Boston’s leading groups on sea level rise and harbor disaster relief have

Political Pulse:
The National Debt Crisis
Future tax reform issues have potential to
impact generations to come
“I understand that the government can keep piling up debt, and there’s
nothing holding them accountable for slowing their spending.”
By Twitter user Independent
-Suffolk University senior Gina DeMatteo
Maggie Randall
D.C. Correspondent
The national debt issue
is closely intertwined with
tax reform. Both have
become a responsibility
that largely falls on
younger Americans, such
as many Suffolk students,
some experts say.
Suffolk
University
senior Gina DeMatteo
is a politics, philosophy,
and economics major
who has worked at Grant
Thornton, LLP as a public
policy and government
affairs intern where she
has researched tax policy.
“Students are probably
thinking about how they
will have to pay off their
loans after college, but
not how it will effect
the next generation of
workers,” she said. “You
hear the media say the
debt is high, but not a
lot of visibility of how it
effects you.”
Maya
MacGuineas,
president
of
the
Committee
for
a
Responsible
Federal
Budget (CRFB) explained
at a “Fix the Debt
Campaign” presentation
on Monday in D.C. that
the immediate impacts
of not addressing the
national debt will not
be recognized. The longterm effects, however,
hurt younger generations
the most, according to
MacGuineas, which may
lead to an unhealthy
economy
and
lowerpaying jobs in the long
run.
In
April,
Treasury
Secretary Steven Mnuchin
explained
that
the
Trump
administration
is committed to tax and
regulatory reform that
would spur economic
growth. Mnuchin also
expressed concern that
if tax reform does not
happen by the end of 2017,
there will be immediate
negative impacts on the
economy.
“To the extent we get
the tax deal done, the
stock market will go up
higher,” said Mnuchin in
a Politico podcast in midOctober. “But there’s no
question in my mind that
if we don’t get it done,
you’re going to see a
reversal of a significant
amount of these gains.”
MacGuineas projected
in a TIME Magazine op-ed
earlier this year that “the
President’s plan could
add over $5 trillion to
the national debt over the
next decade.”
Similarly, the Center
on Budget and Policy
Priorities, a non-partisan
financial policy institute,
estimated that tax cuts
made during President
George
W.
Bush’s
administration in 2001
and 2003 added $1.4
trillion to the national
debt.
U.S. Department of
Commerce
data
from
October
has
shown
that the U.S. debt now
exceeds gross domestic
product
(GDP).
Pew
Research Center pointed
out that the nation’s
financial
situation
is
most comparable now to
how it was immediately
following World War II.
“In the overall scheme
of things, I understand
that the government can
keep piling up debt, and
there’s nothing holding
them accountable for
slowing their spending,”
said DeMatteo.
A Suffolk University/
USA Today poll in March
indicated
that
only
22 percent of voters
believe,“policymakers
should take steps to
control the growing costs
of Social Security and
Medicare,” programs that
contribute to the deficit.
Data from Real Clear
Politics right before the
last midterm elections
showed that 82 percent
of voters think debt is
an important issue when
considering congressional
candidates.
This dichotomy could
reveal
two
distinct
understandings.
First,
the national debt could
influence voters in the
2018
elections,
and
second, that while voters
seem to care about the
national debt, they are
not willing to forgo
entitlement reform in
order to address the debt.
CRFB
data
from
October shows that in
THE Suffolk Journal
fiscal year 2016, the
federal
government
spent 24 percent of the
budget on social security,
a federal benefit system
for retired and disabled
workers.
Another
26
percent of the budget was
spent on Medicare and
Medicaid, the Children’s
Health Insurance Program
(CHIP),
a
program
that Congress failed to
renew this year, and the
Affordable Care Act.
As these costs have
continued
to
rise,
Congressional leaders on
both sides of the aisles
agree that entitlement
reform is necessary as
a means to combat the
national debt.
Mick
Mulvaney,
Director of the Office of
Budget and Management,
described, in a midOctober
interview,
a
conversation
where
Trump “promised people
[he]
wouldn't
change
Social Security.”
Former
Secretary
of Labor and expert of
income equality Robert
Reich explained in a
recent Huffington Post
editorial that entitlement
reform
has
only
temporary effects.
“Social Security won’t
contribute
to
future
budget deficits. By law,
it can only spend money
from the Social Security
trust fund,” said Reich.
MacGuineas
argued
that
the
traditional
structure, paired with
an
aging
population,
should be a concern for
young people, and said
that the national debt
is a reflection of “how
broken our government
has become.” MaGuineas
also expressed that little
will be resolved without
bipartisan
support;
something Congress sees
little of these days.
“Write
to
your
representatives and your
senators,” said DeMatteo.
“Be aware of what’s
coming up in Congress
to remind them that they
reflect their constituents’
opinions, and college
students count too.”

student impact on gerrymandering
Former Suffolk commencement speaker
to host CBS Evening News
Jeff Glor, who received an honorary journalism
degree from Suffolk University and served as the
College of Arts & Sciences’ 2011 speaker, was
recently named the new host for CBS Evening
News. Formerly a position held by Scott Pelley,
and most recently as Interim Anchor Anthony
Mason, Glor will now step in as the full-time
host. Glor, who used to be an anchor for WHDH
Channel 7, received high praise from the CBS News
President David Rhodes in a recent statement.
“Jeff is a thoughtful, probing journalist with the
versatility to anchor in any circumstance — from
daily reporting to the most significant events
of our time,” said Rhodes. “In his more than 10
years at CBS News, Jeff has earned the trust of
viewers and his colleagues. He represents the
best journalistic values and traditions that will
carry the ‘Evening News’ into a digital future.”

Harvard Beneficial Professor of Law Charles Fried
Andrés Rodriguez
Journal Contributor
If there was a way
for one political party in
America to stay in power
forever, the best method
would be gerrymandering,
according to Harvard
Beneficial
Professor
of Law Charles Fried.
Gerrymandering,
according to Fried, is a
way to manipulate our
voting system and weaken
the
most
prominent
aspect
of
democratic
governments. Fried spoke
to the Suffolk University
students on Wednesday
to deliver the message
of the consequences of
gerrymandering and what
students can do about it.
“I did not know of the
prominence in current day
society of gerrymandering
and [Fried] gave good
perspective on [what is]
going on right now,” said
sophomore Micaela Clark
in an interview with The
Suffolk Journal. “They're
legislating this right now,
that’s crazy.”
Elbridge
Gerry,
a
politician
for
Massachusetts in 1744,
manipulated the votes
of his district in order
to aid the re-election of
his party, by creating
new borders that mainly
had his supporters. Since
then, the practice of
“They have data on
every voter in the state,
where that voter lives,
how that voter has been
registered over the
years, and so on and so
forth.”
-Charles Fried,
Harvard Beneficial Professor of Law
gerrymandering has only
increased
and
spread
worldwide, but as Fried
shared, it has happened in
America in every election
cycle and is not exclusive
to one party.
Gerrymandering
did
not go unrecognized, and
after much pressure from
the public, the Supreme
Court established rules
for how to draw borders
in districts to have equal
populations,
having
districts
be
compact
in terms of size and to
respect
the
county's
political borders. Now
with the use of digital
mapping, a political party
can bypass the set rules
that the Supreme Court
had in place to avoid
gerrymandering.
“They have data on
every voter in the state,
where that voter lives,
how that voter has been
registered over the years,
and,” said Fried. “It’s
very complex, but that’s
what
computers
are
for. And what are their
instructions? We can do
this anyway you want.”
Computers can create
multiple maps that follow
the rules but can still
be biased toward one
political party due to
loopholes in the system.
In the era of President
Donald
Trump’s
administration
where
Republicans have won
most seats in the House
and Senate, there appears
to be possible damage that
gerrymandering can do to
the future of America’s
democracy,
according
to Fried. The Democrats
for the past elections are
guilty of doing the same
gerrymandering
that
Republicans are currently
doing, he said
According to Fried, in
2012 the U.S. was 51.3
percent democratic, but
only had 39.4 percent
of seats in country,
that has showed a clear
imbalance in the value of
the other 60.6 percent of
Republican seats. In the
following election year,
the Republicans were able
to fight back and gained
66 percent of the seats
and shifted the country to
52 percent Republican.
“It will not be only
a
Republican
issue,
we’re doing this for the
republic,” said Fried when
telling his audience why
gerrymandering
should
be eliminated.
In an interview with
The Journal, professor
Fried voiced advice to
student bodies across the
nation.
“Vote. Get involved in
politics, that’s what I want
you to do,” said Fried.

In a recent interview in Studio 73, Comcast
Newsmakers host Jenny Johnson sat down with
Suffolk University’s Acting President Marisa
Kelly. The two discussed the school’s recently
announced partnership with international
recruitment firm, INTO International, as well
as the economic significance that international
students have in the city of Boston. The school
has ranked No. 7 by U.S. News and World Report
in regards to the university’s international
student population; 103 countries represent
the student body population. Kelly noted that
collegiate institutions need to focus on building
on the strengths that universities possess.
Suffolk’s international student population is one
element that Kelly said is a critical part for all of
Suffolk’s students. Kelly highlighted that Suffolk
students contribute approximately $80 million to
the regional economy, while also being employed
in an estimated 1,100 jobs as well. Engagement
with the city and access to internships prompts
students to remain in the area after graduation,
according to Kelly.
Trump releases JFK files
Last week, thousands of documents relating to
the assassination of the thirty-fifth President
of the United States, John F. Kennedy were
published by the National Archives. President
Donald Trump ordered for this release, which
did not reveal all of the documents due to
national security concerns, but did disclose some
material. A series of Central Intelligence Agency
meetings outlining a price to kill Cuban Dictator
Fidel Castro and the search to locate a stripper
who knew Lee Harvey Oswald’s killer, Jack Ruby,
were just some of the tidbits provided. With
certain documents being held for months to
come, Trump’s order of information released to
the public about Kennedy provides insight into
the era. Other documents, such as internal bribes
and the Federal Bureau of Investigation having
tracked Oswald, provided insight into the past
and answered certain questions, that some have
wondered about after all of these years.
Correction
Correction: Due to an error from sources, a previous version of the Oct. 11 article “Alum forced
to postpone place for office” included a quote
from Justin Murad that stated voters feared there
would be repercussions from Tim McCarthy, the
current City Councilor-at-Large for district five of
Boston, for signing the petition to get his name
on the ballot. This is incorrect, as it was not based
on any factual circumstance. It was previously
published that McCarthy held the position for 20
years. This is incorrect as he was elected in 2013.

Climate change threatens Boston’s coast
From CLIMATE -1
This combination of
threats consists of rising
sea levels, extreme storms
and aging infrastructure.
Golden continued that
to resolve this danger,
“We now have to change
from
responding
and
repairing, to planning and
investing.”
Four possible basic
solutions were laid out by
Golden in response to the
rising sea level; to retreat,
to buy time, to live with
the water or to ignore the
threat.
Highly conscious that
none of these were ideal,
Golden asserted that the
reason some people do not
admit to the existence of
climate change is because
they don’t want to admit
to what the solution will
have to be. The solution
will have to involve large
amounts of funding and
require intense planning
efforts.
The
Massachusetts
Department
of
Transportation’s
(MassDOT)
Assistant
Secretary
for
Policy
Coordination
Kate
Fichter spoke from the
perspective
of
what
the Boston area public
transportation
systems
face in opposition to
climate change and sea
level rise.
“If the [MBTA] Blue
Line goes down, you
essentially
cut
off
East Boston from the
mainland,” said Fichter.
In discussing various
proposals and projects
that are being pushed
forward within MassDOT,
whether they are physical
changes or changes in
bureaucracy,
Fichter
demonstrated that due
to the incoming threat
of sea level rise, Boston’s
subways will need to be
prepared.
One of the several
physical solutions would
be the building of storm
doors that can close off
the entries to subway
tunnels in the case of
flooding,
minimizing
damage to those systems.
Bureaucratic
plans
included multiple staffing
additions to create more
room for departments
to work closer together
and increase efficiency
in confronting issues of
climate change.

William Golden discusses the toll of climate change on Boston’s harbor
by
Boston
Mayor
Marty Walsh, Richard
McGuiness
explained
what he has helped plan
as Deputy Director of the
Waterfront Planning &
Development Agency.
McGuiness
reflected
on how the actions of
the city were once highly
“Retrofitting
wharf
style

by
eliminating the second
floor and elevating the
first floor is a good
example of how you can
protect those wharf style
buildings which are part
of Boston’s fabric, it’s
history of architecture,”
neighborhoods
from
being destroyed in the
floods to come.
On a more intimate
level of dealing with the
problem, WS Development
Vice President for the
Boston Seaport Yanni
Tsipis spoke on how they
take into account that
how he has to consider
what will happen in the
next
half-century
to
affect his developments
in regards to rising sea
levels.
Some of the newly
developed
standards
include putting very little
of a building’s priority
“We now have to change from responding
and repairing, to planning and investing.”
- William Golden, Co-founder and Executive Director of the
National Institute for Coastal and Harbor Infrastructure
motivated by what the
Federal
Emergency
Management Agency said
any active risks were.
This meant that the city
would not be able to
react to threats that had
not been analyzed by the
government agency and
thus could not respond
to the far future dangers
of sea level rise to the
Boston area.
Now, as the city and
state has become much
more aware of what risks
are to be faced, a new
and larger push to harden
the city’s infrastructure
against
flooding
has
begun.
said McGuiness.
McGuiness emphasized
that many of Boston’s
future plans will focus
less on reducing carbon
emissions to stop climate
change from happening,
rather focusing on the
city
reducing
carbon
emissions so that when
those negative effects
do arrive, they will not
become any worse than
what is predicted. The
public and the private
sector reflected in the
talk how much time and
money is being spent
on developing methods
to prepare all of the
city’s infrastructure and
these
new
guidelines
and research plans when
working on their new 23acre project in Boston’s
seaport district.
Describing what the
three
developments
are being built at the
South Boston Waterfront
Seaport are, Tsipis listed
buildings, transportation
infrastructure, and ten
acres of public space.
Tsipis’s
experience
has
spanned
more
than
$2
billion
of
development
projects
in Boston, throughout
many
different
areas
of
development.
His
discussion reflected on
maintenance equipment
on the first few floors and
keeping much of a new
building’s electrical and
ventilation machinery on
the roof.
“The science caught up
with the concern really
just in the last five years
or so,” said Tsipis.
President and CEO
of Boston Harbor Now
Kathy Abbott, was the
last person to speak at
the event and discussed
much
of
her
past
experience with city-wide
infrastructure
changes
similar to those other
speakers presented.
Considering
the
process of how the
various Boston Harbor
cleanup projects were
developed and executed,
Abbott insisted that the
first major step to move
forward in defense of sea
rise will be to create new
government systems to
allocate funding for all of
the needed developments.
She continued, explaining
that these developments
will be numerous, as so
much of the city will have
to become involved in
order to make a positive
move to protect itself
from the damage caused
by climate change.
“Each time a report
comes out we find out the
sea is rising higher than
we thought before,” said
Abbott.
Abbott named many
of
the
wide-ranging
discussions
that
are
occurring in both the
public
and
private
sectors with optimism,
claiming that, “We are
doing better than many
other cities in terms of
the level of conversation
we are having and the
collaboration
we
are
having and the steps we
are beginning to take.”

Green Party activist condemns American
military involvement in global conflicts
Jacob Geanous/ World News Editor
Jacob Geanous
World News Editor
The
2016
VicePresidential
Green
Party candidate Ajamu
Baraka came to Suffolk
University Monday to
discuss his opinions on
the longstanding IsraeliPalestinian conflict.
As
Baraka
spoke,
multiple news sources
confirmed that seven
Palestinians were killed
when
Israeli
forces
detonated explosives in
the Gaza Tunnel, just the
latest lives claimed by a
conflict the United States
has meddled in.
Baraka, a renowned
grassroots organizer for
more than 25 years, has
been at the forefront of
applying
international
human rights framework
to social justice within
the U.S. He is also the
national organizer and
spokesperson
for
the
newly recreated Black
Alliance for Peace.
During
his
presentation, he set his
sights on the IsraeliPalestinian
conflict,
which has been one of the
most precarious affairs
that the U.S. has involved
itself with in the last halfdecade. Israel has been
one of the top recipients
of U.S. aid since the end
of World War II and
has received more than
$124 billion since 1976.
In a September press
conference, U.S. President
Donald Trump announced
that the U.S. would open
their
first
permanent
military base in Israel.
According to Baraka,
U.S.
support
from
Israel stems from the
shared idea of “western
civilization” that both
countries identify with a notion that Baraka tied
directly to Caucasians.
Baraka
went
through
America’s laundry list of
violent foreign affairs and
highlighted that many
of the countries that
have witnessed military
action from the U.S. are
primarily non-Caucasian.
He said the fact that Israel
has repeatedly identified
as a “western nation” has
helped garner popular
civilian support for the
arming and backing of
the Israeli army by the
U.S. as well.
“When we look at all
these conflicts, since the
end of the Second World
War, what has been the
primary
characteristic
is the U.S., in conflict,
waging war on, people
of color.” said Baraka.
“Because of that we find
that there continues to be
popular support for these
conflicts.”
Baraka claimed that
the contrasting ideals
between the U.S. and
Palestine have resulted
in the marginalization of
Palestinians on a global
scale.
“When
we
talk
about how we build a
movement to support
Palestine, you see what
you are up against,”
said Baraka. “Basically
the first thing we have
to do is humanize the
Palestinians, because they
have been dehumanized.”
Baraka
challenged
the idea of western
civilization and branded
it a false ideology fueled
by white supremacy.
He also condemned the
U.S. Military involvement
around the world because
he said it has been
fueled by racially specific
targeting and asserted
that the U.S. military
presence is due to foreign
policy laced with hints of
white superiority.
“We have to talk
about notions of white
supremacy and how it is
manifested in policy,” said
Baraka. “It’s a difficult
conversation, but we have
to take it on.”
Baraka laid out the
struggle
in
Palestine
against a backdrop of
America’s recent military
investigation around the
world and insinuated that
government officials have
misled Americans.
“In the last 16 years
we have had a war in Iraq
and were told Saddam
Hussein had weapons
of mass destruction and
therefore there was a
justification for us to
go into their country,”
said Baraka. “We had
intervention in Syria,
we have had the second
longest war in U.S.
history, in Afghanistan.
We have the continuation
of drone warfare where
it is estimated that over
4,000 civilians have died
in seven nations. We have
a grotesque situation in
Yemen that a lot of people
don’t know about.”
Following
Baraka’s
presentation, the floor
was opened to audience
members
who
asked
questions ranging from
global, national and local
topics.
The
night
was
organized and run by
the Suffolk University
Students for Justice for
Palestine (SJP).

HOTEL ATTACK KILLS 23 IN SOMALIA
CATALAN LEADER SUMMONED BY COURT
Just two weeks after a city bombing that left more than 350 dead
in Mogadishu, five attackers from the Islamist al-Shabaab militant
group stormed a hotel and killed 23 people and wounded more
than 30 this past Saturday. The five gunmen, dressed in intelligence
service uniforms, inconspicuously entered the hotel after a truck
bomb decimated the front-entrance. The gunmen were able to hold
off security forces for more than 12 hours while other gunmen went
room to room shooting guests. The attackers obtained professional
identification cards from the country’s intelligence service in order
to sneak past police officers. Nearly 55 minutes after the attack,
al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the hotel bombing on one
of its websites. Seeing as this attack has occurred only two weeks
after the massive bomb that killed 350 people, also blamed on alShabaab, many are questioning the Somali security establishment.
Somalia’s government fired two of the country’s most senior security
officials after the attack. The bombing two weeks ago was one of
the single most lethal terrorist strikes in recent years. This move
towards strengthening Somali government is aimed at restoring
public confidence. Somali Special Forces managed to kill three of
the gunmen and capture the other two, according to officials.
Former Catalan leader Carles Puidgemont has been summoned by
Spain’s high court, alongside 13 other members of his dismissed
government. Puidgemont triggered the crisis in early October in
Spain by initiating an independence referendum. Although Madrid
seriously opposed the referendum and the Constitutional Court
declared the vote illegal, he still continued with the referendum.
Puidgemont fled to Belgium with other former ministers when
Spanish Attorney General Jose Manuel Maza called for Catalan leaders
to face charges of sedition, rebellion and misuse of public funds. He
said he is not there to seek asylum, according to BBC. Spain’s chief
prosecutor said that he would press charges on Puidgemont this
past Monday, according to BBC. Spain’s central government has now
taken direct control of Catalonia. These sacked Catalan officials have
been summoned to appear in court on Thursday and Friday. If the
officials do not appear, prosecutors could issue a warrant for their
arrest. Several of Puidgemont’s colleagues remain in Catalonia and
may decide to appear in court, according to BBC. Puidgemont says
he will appear in court if he is guaranteed a fair hearing. Judge
Carmen Lamela said in a ruling that the prosecution’s arguments
against the group are rational, logical and serious. If charged with
rebellion, Catalan government members may face a maximum 30year sentence, according to BBC.

From DRAG - 8
stage to perform lipsynced versions of popular and upbeat songs. The
show certainly honored
the LGBTQ community’s
historical background and
colorful spirit.
Drag Queen Kamden
T. Rage made her big debut, performing “Highway to Hell,” in an outfit that captured a total
punk-rock essence. It was
Rage’s first time ever performing at Suffolk, and
she left her mark on the
audience.
“If I didn’t have a voice
I wouldn’t have gotten
into as much trouble as
I’ve gotten into- which is
fun. It’s fun to be different and to be rebellious,”
said Rage to the audience.
Rage embodied both
the spirit and appearance
of a true rock star during
her first set. This fierce
queen snapped her fingers, shook her hips and
freely moved with the
beat as she introduced
Drag King Tyler.
“Tyler holds the title
of Mr. Boston Pride 2016
and is the first transgender male to win in that
category,” said Rage as
she introduced him. Drag
King Tyler then took to
the stage next, performing a lip-sync cover of “Let
me Love You” with a pink
and blue glittered beard,
honoring the transgender
flag, and fairy wings.
“The dancing diva”
Miss Misery had the entire audience captivated
the second she stepped
onto the stage in her fabulous black heels. Misery
brought the room to life
by doing a split, which
stunned the crowd.
“We like to have fun
here, and I’m just thankful for you guys for being
here and supporting us
every single year,” said
Misery.
The audience was fully engaged throughout
the show, many smiled,
laughed and cheered on
as the drag queens and
king performed.
The show concluded
with the Queen’s performance of “Lady Marmalade.” The Queen’s outfits for this final set were
nothing short of astonishing- between Misery’s
fabulous gold accessories
and Krystal Crawford’s
purple feather boa, the
stunning ladies exuded
confidence almost too big
for the tiny stage to contain.
“We enjoy what we do,
we love what we do and
we want to share it and
make your lives just a little bit more happy,” said
Crawford.

The Ramifications, one
of two a cappella groups
at
Suffolk
University,
perform further than the
borders of campus. The
group has performed at
renowned venues around
Boston,
including
TD
Garden, where they sang
the
national
anthem
for the Boston Celtics,
the Hatch Shell at the
Esplanade, the Faneuil
Hall Annual A Cappella
Competition
and
on
Valentine’s Day on Fox
25 News, according to
Suffolk’s website.
Formed in the spring
of 2001 as the first a
cappella group on campus,
the co-ed group has been
known to sing across an
array of genres, which has
included “pop and rock to
R&B and soul,” according
to Suffolk’s website; all
without
instrumental
assistance.
“It has been around
for 10 [plus] years and
bursted right into the a
cappella scene as soon as it
could,” said junior theatre
major and Ramifications
President Kane Harper.
“Several
CD’s
were
made, competitions won
and [the group] rapidly
became a proud Suffolk
University name.”
The group is far from
being without accolades;
in February of 2011, the
Ramifications placed No.
2 at the International
Championship
of
Collegiate A Cappella
(ICCA) and were awarded
Best
Choreography
and Outstanding Vocal
Percussion,
according
to the group’s Facebook
page. They went on to
compete at the ICCA
again in 2012 and 2013 at
Berklee College of Music
and MIT. Then placed
fourth in 2017 at Berklee,
according to Harper.
To become a part of
the group, students must
go through a rigorous
process; first, students
must sign up for a live
audition.
Newcomers
must prepare a song of
their choice for the first
round and do a pitch
match to determine if
they can hit a certain
vocal range, according
to freshman Darby Sabin,
who was accepted into
the group this year.
“It’s
very
nervewracking,” said Sabin. “It’s
a very selective group.”
Following the first
round
of
auditions,
callbacks are determined
by all current members
of the group. Those
invited back learn a
song presented by the
group, and the potential
members rehearse a song
with all members present
to see how the new voice
blends. Then, the final
cuts are made.
“They all cheered and
celebrated when they told
me I got in,” said Sabin.
“It instantly felt like
family.”
For
the
semester,
the group plans to hold

From HORROR - 8
ty. Along with the music, a montage of clips
from iconic horror films
played on a giant screen
on stage.
Primarily
featuring
aerial acts, one performer danced through ropes
while dressed as a clown,
to “Sexy and I Know It,”
by the group LMFAO. Another performer, ‘player
one,’ pulled a card for his
round for the game and
was “electrocuted” during
his aerial hoop performance, twirling in the air,
and revealed a striking
glow-in-the-dark paint all
over his body.
The show also featured
a burlesque dancer that
performed more of a torture than a tease, as she
stripped and proceeded to
stab ‘player two’ to death,
as fake blood poured over
her and the stage. ‘Player
two’ later came back to
perform as well, where
he ripped off his clothes
to reveal a flesh-eating infection on his skin, which
was covered in eyeballs.
All of the sexiness, of
course, included gore.
Throughout
playing
the game, Hazard often
made jokes to the audience, repeatedly referencing the movie Jumanji as
he discovered no one’s
lives were safe until the
game was completed. His
humor took away from
the horror a bit, but also
entertained.
Quite possibly the
most eye-catching performance of them all included two aerial silk artists
dancing above a satanic
star and candles on the
floor, as bone-chilling
music played throughout
the theater.
In one of the final
rounds of the game,
Hazard pulls a card that
summons a performer
dressed as the iconic vampire Nosferatu. Nosferatu
enters to comedic music,
then goes on to execute
a mind-blowing performance where he juggles a
small crystal ball. Hazard
revealed what Nosferatu
possessed was the Moon,
and he needed it to finish
the game.
The show ended as the
‘contestants’ and other
performers of the show
ran on the stage and went
into a full out dance, as
the live band played upbeat music behind them,
celebrating the end of the
game.
While most of the performances were comic
horror, some proved to be
actually quite scary.

all the guts, gore and sexiness people love to see
around Halloween. The
performers, as well as the

Negotiating with the Taliban is not an option

Rex Tillerson said that
the U.S. would be open
to

The Feminist letters:
Feminism is not just for women.
Men should be proud to be fighters for equality.
Haley Clegg | Photo Editor
Where along the line did feminism
become synonymous with “hating
men?”
Feminism isn’t an attack on men,
and it doesn’t claim that men are
inferior to women, yet many continue to view it
as such. Feminism was created to make all genders
have equal opportunity.
Over the past century, women have had some
major successes in creating such an environment.
The right to vote in 1920, the Equal Pay Act in
1963, and Roe v. Wade in 1973 all propelled women
toward equal rights.
For many men, feminism is regarded as a
personal attack. While the core of the feminist
movement is based on the advocacy of women’s
rights on the equality of the sexes, admittedly there
have been some extremists that have radicalized
the movement. These individuals have been labeled
‘feminazis’ and have tainted the way the feminist
movement is viewed as a whole. Moreover, these
‘feminazis’ have driven men away from the core
values that the original feminist movement worked
so hard to achieve.
Excluding men only perpetuates the negative
connotation “feminism” has acquired, which only
slows our progress. Men who feel threatened by
feminism don’t want to participate in the fight for
it. Even some women stray away from labeling
themselves as feminists because of how negative
the term has become.
Whether we like to admit it or not, we need
both men and women to be on board with feminism
if we want to see it succeed. True equality can
only be achieved if all genders work together to
fight against stereotypes, misogyny and patriarchal
views.
Overall, the most frustrating aspect of this
“man-hating stigma” is that there are actually so
many reasons why men should want to be feminists.
Women are not the only people benefiting from this
movement; men do as well.
Feminists actively work to dismantle the idea that
men have to be the sole providers for the family,
and that it is shameful to be a stay-at-home father.
Feminists want both boys and girls to know that
it’s okay to show emotion, that all genders can be
successful, regardless of whether those careers are
traditionally thought of as masculine or feminine.
Boys should grow up feeling comfortable pursuing
a job as a nurse or a teacher, while girls should feel
confident being an engineer or a scientist.
While feminism focuses on equality, it also works
to redefine the way society views masculinity, while
breaking down gender stereotypes. This benefits
everyone in society, by increasing diversity into
different fields, while relieving individuals of these
societal pressures.
Many men agree that men and women should
be treated equally in all walks of life, yet many
still admit that they are uncomfortable to label
themselves as a feminist due to the man hating
“feminists.”
In order to get men involved in the feminist
movement, we need to reclaim and redefine
feminism. Its crucial that everyone understands that
feminism is truly about treating women as equals
in society.
It is crucial that both men and women realize
this for what it is worth so that we can work toward
a brighter future together, one that provides equal
opportunities for everyone. No matter what gender,
people should be able to successfully pursue their
career path and aspirations.

moderate members of the
Taliban failed. In 2015,
the Taliban affirmed its

Editor’s Word
Everyday, cruelty and cynicism wreak
havoc throughout the unfair world we live
in. As poverty grows hastily in developing
nations and terrorist attacks take the lives
of millions, devoted journalists can be
found eagerly scribbling down every last
word of each disheartening incidence in
order to make a living. As intrinsically
dismal stories flood the news hour after
hour, a vehement writer can be found
cogitating in the shadow of those words.
Reporting is essentially a direct way of
writing the instructions, or perhaps the
rules, for how global culture functions.
Many admire the passion and dedication
of journalists who report such depressing
news every day without adopting a
misanthropic persona. However, there is
always a flipside to every coin. For every
fervent reporter, there is always at least
one menial, unaware journalism major
lacking the direction required to make it in
such an impassioned discipline.
For the journalism majors that sit
in class day after day, uninvolved and
underworked, the world will soon sort
you out in a manner relative to your
mediocrity. In order to be whole-heartedly
successful, any field of study worth
working in requires ambition and vigor.
So many individuals do not show up to
the world on a daily basis; they go through
life without knowing what’s going on
right outside U.S. borders. Social media
floods our so-called “news feed” with what
is often deemed to be fake or irrelevant
news. Studying news reporting requires
remarkably more than just scrolling
through Facebook and showing up to
your visual aesthetics class. Ultimately,
it requires the adoption of a redesigned
lifestyle - a lifestyle that morphs one’s
mindset into a psyche that embraces all
outlets of news. From The Washington
Post to The New York Times, from NPR
to BBC the information floating just
within our reach is both innovative
and absolutely endless. It is time for
all journalism students to become fully
immersed in global and political news.
The future is in our hands - in order to be
able to manage that future effectively, it is
inherent to read the rules first.
Regulations are meant to be
improved, not erased
O
Trump’s administration begins to scratch progress in reduced
carbon emissions and rules involving unsafe chemicals
Kyle Crozier
Senior Staff Writer
The
Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA)
was created with a simple
and singular goal: to
protect human health and
the environment.
The
EPA’s
reach
extends to the public and
private sector, as they
are intended to remain
unbiased in that pursuit
of health. This pursuit
has been poisoned by
the inclusion of an open
member of the chemical
industry into a new
position at the EPA, and
humans’ health will see a
decline because of it.
Dr. Nancy Beck worked
for five years as an
executive at the American
Chemistry Council, the
primary trade institution
for American chemical
companies. Her position
came to an end this year,
after being appointed in
May to one of the key
regulatory positions of the
EPA where the decision is
made on which chemicals
will be considered too
risky for the public.
If
this
does
not
seem like a clear and
almost blatant conflict
of interest, it is hard
to identify what the
definition of conflict must
be for President Donald
Trump and his cabinet.
The mission as set out by
her new department is to,
“protect you, your family
and
the
environment
from
potential
risks
from pesticides and toxic
chemicals.”
In her time in the
new position, Beck has
already slashed more
than a dozen regulations
on
various
chemicals
that had been previously
deemed unsafe, making
these chemicals much
more difficult to regulate

Administrator
of
the
Environmental Protection
Agency,
Scott
Pruitt,
has shown how reliant a
government agency like
the EPA is on having
administrators who are
working in tandem with
the goal of the agency.
Instead of continuing the
long history of ensuring
a betterment of the
environment and human
health, Pruitt has taken
measures to retract steps
forward in the battle to
lessen the emissions of
carbon.
With his withdrawal
from the Clean Power
Plan (CPP), Pruitt stated
that he believed this
plan was not meant to
reduce carbon emissions,
but rather it was a
plan that the Obama
administration
was
using, “to pick winners
and losers and how we
generate electricity in this
country.” Pruitt’s opinion
comes in spite of the
EPA’s estimation that the
CPP could have prevented
2,700 to 6,600 premature
deaths and 140,000 to
150,000 asthma attacks in
children.

The issue of an EPA that
is acting against its own

Lady Rams make a racket
S
Dunlap honored for season achievements
Hannah Arroyo
Asst. Sports Editor
In her first-ever season
with the Suffolk University
women’s tennis team,
junior Delaney Dunlap
was able to capture the
feat of being recognized
as a member of the AllGreat Northeast Atlantic
Conference
(GNAC)
Singles First-Team.
Dunlap became the
fifth consecutive player
for Suffolk to receive
this first-team selection.
The honor is voted on by
the National Collegiate
Athletic
Association
(NCAA) and given out to
some of the best players
in the GNAC per Dunlap.
Ever
since
Suffolk
joined the GNAC ranks in
2007, they have obtained
38
All-GNAC
awards,
eight being second-team
doubles.
In her first season with
the Lady Rams, Dunlap
achieved a 9-6 singles
record and a 7-4 doubles
record with sophomore
teammate Keely Hardy,
making them best duo on
the team.
As a whole, the Rams
captured a 7-6 overall
season record and were
able to make it to the
GNAC semifinals where
the team lost to Johnson
and Wales University 5-0.
“Getting the All-GNAC
was cool. I didn’t expect
it at all,” said Dunlap in a
recent interview with The
Suffolk Journal. “It feels
really good to come back
and play well after having
two years off in Madrid.”
Dunlap
explained
that she admires tennis
because of the strong team
aspects it encompasses.
“I like [tennis] because
it’s an individual team
sport and you’re on
your own, but still come
together,” said Dunlap.
“At the end of the day,
you’re winning or losing
as a team.”
Dunlap touched on the
fact that it has also been
rewarding to be able to
help her team succeed
after the loss of their top
seniors from last season.
“[Dunlap] is such a
hard worker. This being
her first year on the team,
she almost immediately
took the ace spot, showing
how hard she worked for
it over the summer,” said
junior teammate Emily
Bean in a recent interview
with The Journal. “She
is an all-around player,
strong, positive and a
great teammate.”
Bean said that while
Dunlap is an amazing
athlete,
she
is
also
encouraging
and
has
helped the team work
on aspects such as their
mental game.

Nakamura said that she
enjoyed being on the
same team as Dunlap
because she is dedicated
and supportive.
“She has done great
and has won almost every
game in our season,” said
Nakamura in a recent
interview
with
The
Journal. “She is a great
asset to our team and
benefited us every game.”
While the fall season
may have come to an end,
Dunlap has high hopes
moving forward and said
that head coach Matt
Tiberii has added in a new
game schedule for the
spring semester. For the
upcoming season, Dunlap
was also chosen to be the
captain of the team.
“I would like to work
more in the offseason to
try and get better so that
I can get All-GNAC again
and win a few of the
matches that I didn’t win
this season,” said Dunlap.

Martin kicks record
Don Porcaro
Journal Contributor
Although
senior
Jennifer
Martin
showcased her scoring
ability throughout her
Suffolk University career,
the key asset was her
consistency. Martin set
a women’s soccer team
record
after
starting
in 69 games as a Ram.
She found herself in the
starting lineup in at least
15 games of every season
during her career. Martin
played a crucial role in
the team’s game plan.
In her final season as a
Lady Ram, Martin started
all 16 games, recording 12
goals and 29 points. Even
with starting so many
games, her production
never faltered. In her
four
seasons,
Martin
played 71 out of 73 games
for the Lady Rams. Even
with the heavy schedule
and playing time, Martin
seemed
anything
but
tired.
“I wish we had a game
everyday, that would be
ideal. I want to play 90
minutes of every game
and never want to come
off the field,” said Martin
in a recent interview with
The Suffolk Journal.
After
three
years
of being a solidified
starter,
Martin
was
named captain her senior
season. Despite all of her
success, Martin still had
a goal in mind that she
had not accomplished.
The
senior
captain
was focused on ending
Lasell College’s five-year
undefeated streak in the
Great Northeast Athletic
Conference (GNAC). On
Sept. 27, Lasell traveled
to East Boston Memorial
field to play Martin and
the Lady Rams. After 90
minutes, it was Suffolk
who came out on top to
beat Lasell 2-0.
“Beating Lasell was
my biggest achievement
at Suffolk. Our hard work
ended up paying off,” said
forward Martin.
In starting 69 games,
Martin broke the all time
Suffolk women’s soccer
record of most games
started, formerly held
by Gabrielle Balestrier in
2013, who had started 65
games.
“I’ve put my heart and
soul into the game and
it’s crazy after four years
I broke the record,” said
Martin.
Martin was inserted
into the starting lineup
her
freshman
year,
starting 15 of the team’s
17
games.
In
those
15 games she was the
second leading scorer on
the team, accounting for
11 points.
Despite the
team going 5-9-3 in her
freshman season, Martin
was a bright spot and had
already proven to be a
consistent piece.
“I always push myself
to be the best soccer
player I can be. I’m very
hard on myself but I
believe that has truly
made me a better player,”
said Martin.
Martin’s
teammates
also felt that her constant
motivation made them
better players.
“[Martin]
motivates
everyone
each
and
everyday both on and off
the field. She’s a great
teammate and friend who
always works hard. We
will definitely miss her
next year,” said junior
teammate Melissa Adamo
in a recent interview with
The Journal.
In
her
sophomore
season, Martin led the
team with 19 points,
playing in all 19 games.
Starting in 18 of them,
Martin’s name became
consistent
in
the
Ram’s starting line-up,
and stayed that way
throughout her career.
Martin also fired 44 shots
on goal throughout the
season, almost doubling

total.
“Playing with [Martin]
is fast-paced. When she’s
on her game there’s no
stopping her,” said junior
midfielder
Veronica
Bernardo in an interview
with The Journal.
In Martin’s junior year,
after coming off a 4-15
season her sophomore
year, the Lady Rams
had their best season
since Martin joined the
team. Suffolk went 1110 and made it to the
GNAC semifinals before
losing 1-0 to Albertus
Magnus College in double
overtime. Martin tallied
16 goals and 34 points,
while starting in 20 out of
the 21 games played that
season.
“My biggest learning
experience
has
been
learning it is okay to make
mistakes. If you dwell on
your mistakes, you’ll only
end up playing worse.
Mindset is everything,”
said Martin.
After four years playing
in a Suffolk University
uniform, Martin finished
her career on Saturday, in
a 3-1 loss against Lasell.

Suffolk men’s ice hockey team drops puck for season
Matt Geer
Journal Contributor
This winter will mark
the 14th season for head
coach Chris Glionna, the
winningest coach in the
history of the Suffolk
University
men’s
ice
hockey program, with
107 victories. In the Rams
second season as members
of the Commonwealth
Coast Conference (CCC),
Glionna
told
Journal
reporters that he plans to
add to this tally.
“Our goal is to return
to being a home ice playoff
team,” said Glionna in a
recent interview with The
Journal. “I think early
on in the season we are
looking to make sure the
team is progressing, we
will put an emphasis on
improving our scoring.”
In winning the seventh
straight home opener, the
Rams’ 38th season began
on Saturday with a 5-2
victory over Assumption
College
at
Emmons
Horrigan O’Neal Rink.
This marked Suffolk’s
first win of the season.
The Rams were led by
an impressive two goal
performance by freshman
forward Matt Bucher in
his Suffolk debut.
Bucher’s early strike,
3:47 into the first period,
got the Rams rolling.
This led to four more
Suffolk goals before the
Greyhounds cracked the
scoreboard late in the
second period. Bucher
was the only Ram to score
multiple
goals,
while
junior forwards Tyler
Scearbo, Connor Henry
and
Brendan
Heinze
scored the other goals.
Going into the 2017
campaign, the Rams were

league. Coming off of what
was a forgettable year,
with a 7-13-5 record, the

as a form of motivation to
move forward.
“We want to prove
the whole league wrong
and make a run at the
playoffs,”
said
senior
forward J.B. Sweeney in
a recent interview with
The
Suffolk
Journal.
“We brought in a lot of

prove the whole

and make a run
at the playoffs.”
- J.B. Sweeney,
#3
talented freshmen, mix
that in with the guys we
have coming back and
we should be able to
make some noise in the
conference.”
Over the summer,
Glionna made it a point
to get his team into
the best physical shape
possible. He discussed
with The Journal how the
team took advantage of
the “new and improved”
facilities that Suffolk has
to offer.
“This offseason we
worked very hard on
getting stronger,” said
Glionna. “The Michael
and Larry Smith Fitness
Center and the upgraded
varsity
weight
room
has been a tremendous
addition.”
Sweeney, a four-year
forward, discussed how
personal accolades are
not important to him
moving
forward.
The
success of the team takes
the driver’s seat this year,
as this will be his last go
around as a Ram.
“I’m more concerned
about the team as a whole
than I am about any
stats,” said Sweeney. “We
look to come together as
a team more this year,
we’re going against a
lot of competitive teams
and we will need to be
consistent all season.”
The Rams will see
movement
this
year
against competitive intraconference action. They
will square off against foes
such as Endicott College,
who won 24 games last
year, 14 of them coming
in conference play. Other
opponents for the Rams
include Nichols College,
The University of New
England and Johnson
and Wales University,
all coming off playoff
appearances last season.
“We have a one-game
at-a-time mentality and
don’t like to look too
far ahead,” said junior
sports marketing major
Brendan Heinze in a
recent interview with
The Journal. “We have to
become more consistent
for the full 60 minutes,
we can’t have five minute
lapses, we have to stay
sharp.”
As this team looks to
put it all together for the
season ahead, they have
been able to become a
close team off the ice.
Team chemistry will be
an adhesive in linking
the Rams to a successful
season in 2017-18.
“The closer the guys
are off the ice, the better
chemistry we will have
on the ice,” said Heinze.
“We have a good group of
guys in our locker room
that are all focused on
what the team wants to
achieve this year.”

‘Our Suffolk Union’ vote ties at 96
From UNION - 1
settled until Oct. 2.
In the wake of the
challenged votes being
completed, reactions from
those in the unionization
efforts have offered a mix
bag of viewpoints.
In a recent interview
with
The
Suffolk
Journal, Senior Program
Coordinator
of
the
Political Research Center
Merideth
Power-Ayer
said that she is hopeful a
second try at unionization
could succeed.
“I refuse to give up
because I want this to be
a good place to work and
I've been at Suffolk for
going on 16 years now,
and this place is like a
home to me,” said PowerAyer. “I want it to be a
good place to work and I
want it to be a place where
people feel respected
when they come to work,
and that their work is
valued and appreciated,
and that all employees are
treated with the respect
that they deserve. That's
why I'm sticking with the
campaign and I plan on
seeing it through till the
end.”
Power-Ayer
said
a
tie in this vote does not
indicate necessarily a
total loss, as the support
for a staff union is still
indicated.
The union will have
the ability to re-file again
in March of 2018, after a
year has passed since the
original filing on March 2.
While the tie does not
allow a staff union to
officially represent itself
on campus, former Journal
Editor-in-Chief and now
Office Coordinator in the
Government department
Jeffery Fish is confident
in the ability to succeed
on a second try.
“I think going forward
the second campaign will
be easier,” said Fish in a
recent interview with The
Journal. “We have that
base already started. We
already know the exact
unit that we're going to
be going after.”
In
a
statement
released to employees
after the final vote count
was determined, Acting
University
President
Marisa Kelly responded to
the tie.
“We are fortunate to
have a community where
all employees, regardless
of their views on the
election, are supportive
of one another and
committed to the success
of Suffolk and all of
our students,” said the
statement.
Madelyn Soto, office
coordinator of the world
languages
&
cultural
studies department said
to The Journal in a recent
interview
that
while
the staff union was not
“defeated,” she will not be
“going full throttle.”
“I’m not going to go
out and recruit, but I’m
still all for the union,”
said Soto.
Soto
said
more
people and fresh faces
the subject of obtaining
raises.
“And now our jobs are
at risk again,” said Soto.
“No one is safe.”
Being essentially back
at the start of the effort
to become a certified
“I’m not going to go
out and recruit,
but I’m still
all for the union.”
Madelyn Soto, office coordinator of the
World Languages & Cultural Studies department
are needed. While the
unionization
efforts
were representative of a
multitude of ambitions,
Soto said the original
objective of job security
swayed, and that the
focus had shifted toward
bargaining representative
of staff employees, ‘Our
Suffolk Union’ will have
to begin the process
from scratch according to
Power-Ayer. This would
entail the same steps
taken prior to the original
election where cards were
signed that garnished
support, the message
was spread in order to
persuade
people
and
eventually, an election
was filed for.
“It
is
kind
of
discouraging that a lot
of employees don't see
the need for the union.
I mean there might be a
lot of employees that are
happy with their positions
-- I personally am too in
this department, and of
course there are a lot of
benefits to working here,”
said Fish. “But I think
overall, just having a
union will legally give us
a voice and we'll be able
to bargain for a contract
and have a say in the way
things are run around
here.”

The issue on Boston’s rent:
Study provides evidence of transgender,
gender nonconforming discrimination
Nathan Espinal
Senior Staff Writer
A
recent
study
conducted by the Suffolk
Law
School
Housing
Discrimination
Testing
Program
(HDTP)
has
proven that the U.S.
Housing
and
Urban
Development
in
Massachusetts
antidiscrimination laws has
failed transgender and
gender non-conforming
citizens who have looked
for rentals in the Greater
Boston area.
Before
this
study,
there was no data on
discrimination
in
the
rental housing market.
Part of the purpose for
this study was to disprove
those who argued that
there was no evidence
of discrimination against
transgender and gender
non-conforming people.
People may not realize
the
discrimination
is
occurring,
and
often
people will not report
discrimination regardless
of whether it is visible or
not according to Jamie
Langowski,
assistant
director of HDTP.
Despite
the
Massachusetts legislature
amendment to the antidiscrimination laws to
protect
those
whose
gender identity differs
from cis-gendered people
in 2012, the HDTP has
concluded that real estate
professionals have been
using covert methods
of discrimination when
providing
housing
to
people who identify as
transgender
or
nonconforming
seeking
rentals. The point of the
study was to identify
business practices, and
how “housing providers”
have treated people who
have looked for housing.
Along with Analysis
Group
(AG),
a
firm
specializing in analysis
for
economics
and
finances, the HDTP was
able to design study
protocols
to
conduct
statistical analysis that
paired protected class
(PC) testers who identify
as
transgender
and
gender non-conforming
with control testers who
identify as cis-gender
and gender conforming.
Transgender is a term
usually reserved for those
who identify as a gender
different from the one
they were assigned at
birth, while gender nonconforming is a term
used by people who do
not ascribe to gender
roles and stereotypes.
The 33 pairs of testers
were sent to apartments
to conduct the search
process as if they were
actually
looking
to
secure the apartment.
The PC testers were
instructed to disclose
their gender identities to
the housing provider to
ensure the variable was
present during the test.
The pairs then recorded
their
experiences
in
detailed reports after
the
interaction.
This
information was used by
AG to develop statistical
analysis reports.
“We’re not finding
that people are being
denied the opportunity
to submit an application,
because we weren’t doing
that,” said Langowski in
an interview with The
Suffolk Journal following
the presentation. “What
“What we’re finding is that up to that point
there are high levels of negative treatment
and people are not receiving the same
level of customer service.”
-Jamie Langowski, assistant director of HDTP
we’re finding is that up
to that point there are
high levels of negative
treatment and people are
not receiving the same
level of customer service.”
The results of the
study found that the
PC testers were more
likely to receive negative
treatment
based
on
their gender identity.
Unknowingly,
these
testers were 27 percent
less likely to be shown
more
areas
of
the
apartment
complex
by the realtor, were 9
percent more likely to be
offered a higher rental
price, 21 percent less
likely to be addressed by
their chosen name and
12 percent more likely to
hear negative comments
on the unit and the
neighborhood.
This
study
is
significant,
according
to the Director of HDTP
William Berman, because
this provides evidence
that discrimination still
occurs in the Greater
Boston area, which is a
liberal area in a state that
has banned this type of
discrimination.
“It’s
upsetting,
because this shouldn’t be
happening, but it’s good to
know because then people
can prepare themselves
on the individual level
when they are looking
for housing, and for
people who are trying
to influence policy they
can arm themselves with
this,” said Langowski.
This
study,
which
will be published within
the year in Volume 29.2
of the “Yale Journal of
Law and Feminism,” has
been
published
early
because of how relevant
its findings are to the
rollbacks of protections
on gender identity and
sexual orientation.
“I do hope real estate
professionals read this
and get a sense of what’s
happening in the market
and assess their own
behavior,” said Langowski.
“It is absolutely a problem
if implicit bias is creeping
into their professional
work when part of their
profession is to treat
everyone the same.”

Political Pulse:
Suffolk professors weigh in on tax reform
Maggie Randall
D.C. Correspondent
President
Donald
Trump announced the
Republican tax plan on
Sept. 28 in Indianapolis.
He characterized it as
“a once-in-a-generation
opportunity,” that will
end up being “the largest
tax cut in our country’s
history.”
Dr. Michaele Morrow,
an associate professor
of
accounting
at
Suffolk University, did
not
characterize
the
Republican tax plan the
same way as Trump in a
recent interview with The
Suffolk Journal.
“Everything
that
the
Republicans
are
proposing will increase
the
national
debt,
which has long-lasting
effects that should be of
significant concern to
Suffolk students,” said
Morrow.
Congressional
Republicans
and
the
Trump
Administration
have made tax reform a
priority. Their proposed
plan offered very few
details, and has left
supporters excited and
experts puzzled.
Dr. James Angelini,
associate professor of tax
accounting and director of
the Masters of Science in
Taxation (MST) program
at Suffolk University,
said that college students
should pay attention to
how taxes interact with
student loans, tuition and
scholarships.
Both
professors
agreed that while the
tax
plan
may
seek
simplification, its results
are complicated.
One aspect of the
Republican plan changes
the
number
of
tax
brackets from seven to
three. Based on income,
individuals will be taxed
at either 12 percent, 25
percent, or 35 percent.
The plan does not specify
who is subject to these
new brackets, creating
uncertainty.
While it is unclear
how the tax plan will
affect upper, middle and
lower class Americans
without
analyzing
specific policy choices,
Morrow believes that the
proposal to change the
standard deduction and
dependency
exemption
will have a large negative
impact on single parents
and families with multiple
children.
The Republican tax
plan would also eliminate
the estate tax, referred
to informally as the
“death tax.” According to
Internal Revenue Service
data from October, the
estate tax applies to the
transfer of property worth
more than $5,490,000 to
an heir at the time of the
owner’s death.
“The
estate
tax
generates a very minor
amount of tax revenue (.6
percent), so the budget
impact would be small,”
said Angelini. “Therefore,
eliminating the estate tax
does look like a tax cut
for the rich (President
Trump included!). But,
is it a fair tax to begin
with? In many cases it is
double taxation on assets
that have already been
depleted by a lifetime of
paying taxes.”
The Center on Budget
and
Policy
Priorities
estimates that repealing
the estate tax would
result in $3 million tax
cuts for wealthy heirs, and
only affect 0.2 percent of
American estates.
Morrow said repealing
the estate tax would
result
in
decreased
revenue and increased
income inequality.
The
Massachusetts
state legislature has been
working on their own
tax reform with regards
to
a
constitutional
amendment to impose
a
“millionaire’s
tax.”
The
“millionaire’s
tax” would call for an
extra 4 percent tax on
incomes over $1 million
in the commonwealth,
with the revenue going
towards education and
infrastructure initiatives.
While the House and
Senate decided in June
of this year to put the
amendment on the 2018
ballot, the measure could
be blocked in a legal battle
by influential business
groups, according to the
Boston Globe.
Massachusetts
has
historically
been
nicknamed
“Taxachusetts” for the
reputation of high taxes,
but the commonwealth
ranks 18th out of the
50 states for tax burden
by state, with a total tax
burden just over nine
percent.
In 2011, Congressional
Republicans agreed to
an “Americans for Tax
Reform pledge” which
was
a
commitment
to
not
raise
taxes.
Courtesy of Suffolk University
Associate Professor of Accounting
Dr. Michaele Morrow
Through Reconciliation,
a
legislative
process
that curtails traditional
rules,
Congressional
Republicans can uphold
“the
Pledge”
through
simple majority. Even
so, any changes, passes
or bills that could add to
the deficit, such measures
will expire after 10 years.
“If they could get
60 votes [in the Senate]
the changes would be
permanent, which is much
better tax policy, but
that would require some
Democratic support,” said
Angelini.
Angelini
fears
uncertainty will create
more chaos if retroactive
laws are pushed through
during
reconciliation;
meaning that tax policies
passed in November of
this year could affect
filing for the entire year.
THE Suffolk Journal
Retroactive laws create
uncertainty for taxpayers
who rely on consistency
validity of current law.
While he acknowledges
that the research is mixed
on whether cutting or
raising taxes leads to
growth, Angelini said
he believes a result of
Congress’
inability
to
pass a tax policy by 2018
would perpetuate slow
economic growth.
Morrow added that
both Republicans and
Democrats are to blame
for the failure to pass
effective
tax
reform
that would deal with
government spending.
“As I tell my class,
these
people
making
decisions for our country
will be dead when the
negative effects of those
decisions start to be felt,”
said Morrow.
Angelini offered that
Congress should pursue
business tax reform as
a more certain means
to grow the economy.
Angelini
argued
that
the current corporate
tax system is pushing
businesses
offshore,
stifling
international
competition and limiting
immigration.
Morrow and Angelini
agreed that a conversation
on the national debt, with
some sort of entitlement
reform, is necessary to the
tax policy conversation.

next week for an
understanding of the
national debt.

Regional apparel company pledges
grants for young activists
Still-Legal Apparel for the Next Four Years,
has planned to give grants to young resistance
leaders to support their contributions and
efforts which have stemmed from the election
of President Donald Trump. These grants of
$1000 will go to resistance leaders of the region,
according to a recent press release. Activists aged
13 to 30 are eligible to receive this “hug from the
community,” in order to support their fight. “We
support young people leading the way on issues
like climate protection, support for science,
press freedoms, protection for Dreamers, and
the values of compassion and tolerance. These
brave and peaceful activists need to know we’re
behind them,” said Still-Legal! founder Jim Stahl
according to the press release. With the Rhode
Island-based company already having pledged
$5000 in grant money, there is possibility for
this figure to rise up to $50,000 if other local
businesses and philanthropies partner with StillLegal! and Swampscott-native Stahl. According to
the press release, Stahl said that approximately
every 150 shirts sold, that of which read phrases
such as, “Teach Science: While it’s Still Legal,”
and “Tolerance: While it’s Still Legal,” fund one
grant.
Walsh far beyond Jackson in polls
With the city’s general election a mere two
weeks away, Major Walsh keeps a full 35
point lead over his opponent, District 7 City
Councilor Tito Jackson. Walsh can attribute his
lead to the 58 percent of voters who chose him
over Jackson’s 23 percent, leaving 17 percent
undecided. Walsh’s lead can be attributed to his
success in his first term, as he has been able to
keep his favorability rating at 69 percent. David
Paleologos, Director of the Suffolk University
Political Research Center commented on Walsh’s
popularity, “Despite dissatisfaction on issues
like the price of housing and the cost of living
in Boston, voters don’t appear to be blaming
Walsh” said Paleologos, “The poll is a powerful
validation of Mayor Walsh’s first term in office”.
Community outreach has proved to be a huge
proponent for winning the opportunity to
be mayor, as 50 percent of those polled have
personally met Walsh while 35 percent have
either never met Jackson or do not have enough
information to develop an opinion on him.
Amazon looks to Boston
Last month, Amazon, holding its place as one of
the five most valuable companies in the world,
announced that they were searching for a new
location in the US, outside of their original in
Seattle, Wa. The company is promising five
billion dollars worth of construction as well
as 50,000 jobs. These benefits, along with the
promise of having a multi-billion dollar company
in your backyard, has spurred more than 50
major cities to plan a bid, according to Business
Insider. Charlie Baker, the current Massachusetts
Governor says that his department will not stand
with an specific part of the state, “We’re not
going to partner with any particular [locale],
because there’s a lot of different folks who are
interested in submitting proposals, and God bless

Lubofsky opens eyes to scientific journalism
Kyle Crozier
Senior Staff Writer
Bridging the academic
fields of environmental
science and journalism,
the science-writer and
Massachusetts
resident
Evan Lubofsky captivated
a room full of science
and journalism students
while speaking at Suffolk
University
about
his
profession, as a science
writer and what some of
his favorite experiences
have been working in
his field. Lubofsky also
discussed
why
some
students may want to
pursue this specific area
of journalism and and
what first led him into
the field.
Having started off
his career as a writer
for
technological
publications
such
as
“Sensors
Magazine”
and
“Plumbing
and
Mechanical
Magazine,”
Lubofsky
gained
an
interest and connection
to the sciences, more
specifically
marine
sciences.
He currently resides
in Cape Cod, MA, and
freelances most often
for “Hakai Magazine,”
“Oceanus” and “Frontiers
in Ecology” which have
all won numerous awards
for their publications.
“Oceanus” has existed
for over 60 years, and
began as a place to
explore
information
about
oceanographic
exploration.
“Frontiers
in Ecology” works closely
with
the
Ecological
Society of America and
intended to be broad and
accessible for readers
who are not necessarily
scientists themselves.
Without
a
science
background,
Lubofsky
has traveled to the Bikini
Atoll, where the United
States
detonated
23
nuclear weapons in the
1940’s and 50’s. Lubofsky
also traveled to Northern
Israel
with
scientists
studying a unique species
of lobster that was being
observed
to
identify
how climate change was
affecting the crustaceans.
These two story profiles
presented
were
what
gave the name, “Weird
Lobsters and Bikinis” to
the event.
“For me, just the
experience of going with
Kyle Crozier / Senior Staff Writer
a science team and being
immersed in that for the
better part of a week is
just tremendous,” said
Lubofsky during the talk.
In an interview with
The
Suffolk
Journal,
Lubofsky discussed what
role
science-writing
plays for the scientific
community.
“It
can
be used to help make
scientific discovery more
transparent, [the articles]
are pressing for scientists
to peel back the layers on
their findings and their
assertions,”
explained
Lubofsky.
Journalism is seen
by some as a way to
inform the public and
prevent people in power
from
controlling
the
all
dissemination
of
information.
Lubofsky
believes specifically that
science writing has a
role in making sure that
anyone can read and learn
about the work scientists
are doing, and that the
findings of the research
have not been over or
under-exaggerated.
Lubofsky said that for
his work, he would like
to possibly provide an
alternate and truthful
source for the general
public to receive scientific
information.
Lubofsky said that not
being familiar with many
of the topics he writes
about can actually be
more of a positive, as it
forces his interviews with
professionals to truly
bring the discussions
down to the basics. This
has allowed his articles
to be more easily read
and comprehended by
an audience who may
not otherwise have a
background in some of
the advanced topics he
discusses.
“[The scientists] are
not always thinking about
general audiences and
how they’re explaining
what they’re doing in
a simple way,” said
Lubofsky.
Lubofsky
explained
this can also be an
advantage
for
the
scientists, as they are
provided with an outlet
where they can publish
their findings and have
them be read by people
who may not previously
have been exposed to the
subject
Katherine
Lawlor,
a
junior
at
Suffolk
University pursuing an
environmental
science
major, attended the event.
In an interview with
The Suffolk Journal, she
expressed some surprise
to hear Lubofsky did not
have a background in
science.
“I was a bit thrown off
that almost anyone can be
a science journalist and
they don’t have to have
a science background.
I like that people that
people who don’t have
science backgrounds are
interested in science,”
said Lawlor.
Lawlor
continued,
saying that she found
his story about the
nuclear testing in the
Bikini Atoll to be very
interesting. Also, that she
could understand how
it could prove useful in
certain situations to have
someone writing that
needed to understand
the basics of the topic, to
make it more accessible
for everyone to read
about.
Citing his travels as
one of the many perks
of
choosing
sciencewriting over other topics,
Lubofsky also presented
the many opportunities
that can exist for sciencewriting, including: a wide
range of specific topics
such as space, psychology
and nature. This branch
of journalism can also
be lucrative, reaching
an up to two dollars per
word maximum for an
article depending on the
publication,
although
Lubofsky emphasized that
this was not his primary
motivation for entering
the field.
One of his all-time
favorite areas to write
about has been marine
archaeology, where he
has examined research
and studies surrounding
a shipwreck from the
civil war, concerns about
damage to shipwreck
locations
by
modern
fishing trawlers and new
technology
to
better
research the ocean floor.
“I would like to do
more feature writing on
marine archaeology. I am
just really developing a
love for that intersection
between
science
and
history. If there was one
area I have my eyes set
on, it is doing more of
that,” said Lubofsky.

Coral on brink of extinction as ocean temps rise
oceans.
“The ocean is a vast,
empty space for the
most part and coral reefs
are seen as an oasis in
the large expanse,” said
Matthew Pfannenstiel, a
Visitor Educator at the
New England Aquarium
(NEAQ) in a recent interview with The Suffolk
Journal. “Think of the
ocean as a desert and the
coral reefs as a watering
hole with foliage.”
Numerous
Suffolk
professors feel that it is
crucial for society to be
aware of global warming
and how it is impacting
the coral reefs and essentially the human race.
Associate Biology Professor Carl Merrill recommended to “keep talking”
about science and to encourage individuals to
think more about fossil
fuels and to consider how
they can decrease their
own usage, in an interview with The Journal.
“Education has been
lacking
in
following
the science [on climate
change],” said Instructor
Anurag Sharma in an interview with The Journal.
“High school teachers are
still teaching the science
I learned 50 years ago.
There need to be modern changes so that we
create a population that
is equipped to follow the
data.”
In June, Governor
Charlie Baker signed Massachusetts back into the
Paris Agreement after
President Donald Trump
removed
the
United
States from the accord.
The Paris Accord established certain caps on
carbon emissions. Now
that the U.S. is no longer
apart of the Accord, many
are concerned that this
could potentially be disastrous for the future of
the planet.
“Pulling out of the
Paris Accord definitely
changes things
quite a
bit,” said Chemistry and
Biochemistry
Professor
Emerita Martha Richmond. “Hopefully visualizing and describing
the damages to the coral
reefs pushes people to do
more.”
Suffolk students have
also agreed with Richmond that pulling out of
the Paris Accord could
have a seriously detrimental impact on the environment.
“There should be more
of a concern for climate
change,” said senior History and International Relations major Katarina DiPlacido. “It will definitely
become more evident
soon and then there will
be more effects on humans. That’s when we’ll
see people want to make
changes, but by then it
might be too late.”
The current state of
the American government has many worried
about the long-term consequences the planet may
end up suffering if environmental
protection
regulations are not established or enforced.
“I’m sad that our federal government isn’t
doing anything to help
the environment that we
depend on for survival,”
said sophomore Politics,
Philosophy and Economics (PPE) major Maddison
Mignola.
Some students feel
that the political orientation of the state will influence how certain cities
will enact policies regarding climate change.
“I feel like mostly Republican states are relaxed in how they enforce
environmental
regulations which could end up
negatively affecting people” said sophomore PPE
and Environmental Studies major Lydia Gottwald.
“I think that for blue
states this may be a callto-action because they
are joining the Paris Accord as individual states.”
Unless there are serious reduc-
tions to carbon emissions, practically all coral
reef systems will be dead
by 2100, according to National Geographic. It is
important for nations to
act now more than ever
to reduce the production of greenhouse gases
in order to save an ecosystem that supports not
only 25 percent of ocean
life, but also a significant
amount of human life as
well, according to National Geographic.
“The food source is
going to disappear,” said
Richmond. “All this pollution affects the quality of
the water, the sustainability of food, the fishing industry and the sea level.”
Pfannenstiel emphasized that seafood is a
nutritional necessity for
parts of the world, therefore climate change will
ultimately affect how a
portion of humans receive their food source.
Sharma told The Journal that corals are dying
at a rate that has, “never
happened in the history
we are able to document.”
Corals are self-sustaining organisms until their
environment is altered by
some external force - specifically warmer water.
Zooxanthellae is the type
of algae found in coral
that keeps it alive by providing it with food and
sugars to survive. When
the temperature elevates
in an area where there are
coral reefs, zooxanthellae
is then extracted from
the corals, thus creating
thermal stress, therefore
bleaching the corals with
no hope of complete restoration, according to
multiple sources.
The coral then becomes a dull white color
since the zooxanthellae
gives the reef its plethora of pastel colors. If the
coral is a neon color, it
is in the first stages of
bleaching.
Water gets warm as
a result of carbon emissions being released into
the atmosphere through
the burning of fossil fuels, coastal erosion,
the sea level rising, changes in
s t o r m

patterns, altered ocean
currents and ocean acidification.
“Carbon dioxide is
like a blanket that encompasses the Earth and
makes it warmer,” said
Pfannenstiel. “By making
the Earth warmer, the
water’s temperature will
increase and just a couple
degrees can affect coral
reefs around the world.”
Carbonic acid is created during a chemical reaction when CO2 and water meet, thus making the
ocean more acidic when
more CO2 is released
into the atmosphere. This
acidity is what makes the
water substantially warm,
causing the corals to experience thermal stress,
according to Richmond.
Coral is affected negatively in two instances:
the warming of the ocean
water as well as the effects that storms and erosion have on the coral by
releasing sediment into
the ocean that makes algae less productive and,
in
conjunction,
s u p p o r t s
the life of the coral, according to Merrill.
Merrill explained that
the ocean’s pH level has
grown from .03 to .041 in
just two decades. The pH
level has gone down .001
in the last year, which
may not seem like a lot
until compared to the stability of the number for
centuries, said Merrill.
Many scientists have
become frustrated with
this issue because of how
little control they have
over it. Regardless of how
much research is done on
coral bleaching, it is almost impossible to alter
the behavior of society in
way that has the power to
halt coral bleaching entirely.
Bostonians and the
general public alike can
help save the reefs around
the world from coral
bleaching and extinction,
according to Pfannenstiel.
By voting in local government
elections, citizens can
work together to protect
marine life.
Climate change poses
a fundamental and observable threat to numerous ecosystems across
the globe. Despite policy
emerging from Capitol
Hill, members of the Suffolk community remain
concerned and weary
over the future of the
Earth’s oceans.
“Because
climate
change is a relatively new
subject, people don’t really know much about it
right now,” said DiPlacido. “There should be
more of a concern for climate change, before it’s
too late.”

Retired Admiral condemns partisan politics

Confronting
global
challenges of North Korea
to
the
environment,
retired Admiral James
G. Stavridis laid out the
issues the world is facing
and possible solutions at
World Boston’s 8th Annual
Consuls Reception. The
event was attended by
nearly 60 members of
the local Consular Corps
and nearly 200 leaders
from different sectors of
society.
During
the
2016
Presidential
Election,
Hillary Clinton considered
Stavridis as a potential
Vice-Presidential
pick,
and
he
was
under
consideration
for
Secretary of State by the
Trump
administration.
Both were impressed by
Stavridis’s career in the
Navy, and his involvement
with the academic spheres
of international relations.
Worried about the
polarization
of
U.S.
politics, Stavridis has not
been a stranger to the
political field. He has
worked towards bridging
the gap between the two
parties.
“I feel good about
being enough of a centrist
that both parties look at
me realistically for a very
senior job,” said Stavridis.
A
registered
independent,
Stavridis
mentioned that he has
voted across the aisle
throughout the years.
Dedicating his whole life
to military service, he
stressed the importance
of putting the nation first.
“We
need
more
Americans that are less
party identified, and more
identified on what is right
with the country,” said
Stavridis.
Admiral
Stavridis
was
responsible
for
Afghanistan, Libya, Syria,
Balkans, Piracy, and Cyber
Security. He was also
in command of 200,000
members of U.S. armed
forces, and that he “Had
access to three million
armed forces members
through NATO partners.”
Currently the dean of
the Fletcher School of Law
and Diplomacy at Tufts
University, the Admiral is
also an associate member
of the Geneva Centre for
Security Policy (GCSP).
“[The GCSP] is focused
on
bringing
together
communities
and
interests to discuss major
issues facing the world,”
said Stavridis.
He has also published
several books, including
one on the role of
the world’s oceans in
geopolitics.
During his speech,
Stavridis warned about
“

the global world order
returning to a state of
conflict that led to World
War I and World War
II. He added that the
backward shift occurred
because nations became
complacent,
thinking
that great power politics
”
would not return again.
“Tension, competition,
verging towards conflict...
Between United States,
China, Russia, and [the]
European Union,” said
Stavridis.
To prevent the return
of great power politics,
Stavridis
highlighted
the
importance
of
understanding
the
perspective
of
other
nations.
“We must listen to
our opponents we need
to understand Russia’s
views, China’s historical
claims we don’t have
to agree but [we have
to] listen more,” said
Stavridis.
Another subject that
the
Admiral
touched
upon was the tension on
the Korean Peninsula.
“[There is a] ten
percent chance that we
will end up in an all-out
war,” said Stavridis.
While ten percent is
a
gloomy
prediction,
given the potential use
of a nuclear weapons in
a the conflict, Stavridis
argued that it is most
likely the conflict will
end diplomatically. If
an incident does occur,
Stavridis believed that it
would most likely be a
minor one, rather than a
nuclear conflict.
Not only did his
speech
touch
upon
ongoing global crises, the
Admiral offered solutions
to the issues plaguing the
world. He also argued the
importance of the U.S. to
not return to isolationism,
because the U.S. needs
to be an active player in
order for the issues to be
properly addressed on a
global scale.
“We have an ability
WORLD .BRIEFS
.. .
to bring international
coalitions to address global
issues,” said Stavridis.
Through the strategic
cooperation
between
U.S.
intergovernmental
agencies,
international
agencies
and
other
nations,
the
Admiral
said that he believed
that the U.S. could make
significant
strides
in
combating climate change
and responding to natural
disasters.
“[I]
apologize
[on
behalf of the country] for
U.S. withdrawal from Paris
Accord,” said Admiral
Stavridis, referencing the
Trump
administration’s
intention to withdraw
from the accords on the
basis of risking damage
America’s economy.
Towards the end of
his
speech,
Stavridis
discussed the world being
a marketplace of ideas.
“We execute our values
imperfectly, but they are
perfect,” said Stavridis.
While American values,
such as democracy and
freedom of speech, face
challenges domestically,
Stavridis believes in the
importance of fighting for
those values on a global
level.

JAPAN RE-ELECTS PRIME MINISTER ABE
ISLAMIC STATE FIGHTERS RETURN HOME
Japan re-elected Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in a landslide victory
in Sunday’s general election. Abe’s ruling party has retained a twothirds majority the country’s parliament and the estimated voter
turnout Sunday was just below 54 percent, multiple news sources
reported. Abe said in a post-election press conference that the
overwhelming voter support represented a “historic” level of public
confidence in him and his policies, including the revision of the
pacifist constitution, according to BBC. He has previously called for
the country’s armed forces to be formalized, which he has stated is
necessary to strengthen Japan’s defense, but has faced criticism as a
step toward re-militarization. In the past, Abe announced he wanted
to revise the country’s Article 9 clause, to formally recognize the
military, which has been referred to as the “self-defense forces”.
Originally, he set a deadline of 2020 to achieve his goal, but changed
his tune on Monday, saying it was “not set in a concrete schedule”,
according to multiple news sources. Abe discussed stepping up
counter-measures against “the North Korea threat” in the postelection address. He stated he will be meeting with U.S. President
Donald Trump and other world leaders next month.
More than 5,600 supporters of the so-called Islamic State (IS) have
allegedly returned to their home countries after IS lost ground
in Iraq and Syria. The Soufan Center, a U.S.-based think-tank, has
announced that 33 states have reported arrivals in the last two years.
This included approximately half of the 850 individuals who have left
the UK to allegedly join IS, 400 of the 3,417 fighters from Russia, 760
of the 3,244 from Saudi Arabia, 800 of the 2,926 from Tunisia and
800 of the 2,926. The study stated Russia has sent the most foreign
fighters to IS to date. The Soufan Center’s report also stated that
IS’s flow of foreign fighters stalled out in the late 2015, as IS began
to suffer defeats. The data recovery that followed the recent fall
of IS administrative strongholds, such as Raqqa, has confirmed the
identities of nearly half of the more that 40,000 foreigners from 110
countries estimated to have flocked to Iraq and Syria to join IS. The
report stated that returning women and children will be a particular
problem because states may not best know how to reintegrate them.
It also cited proper mental and social support mechanisms as key for
children returning.

Director Rob Reiner brings LBJ to life in new film
Juliana Tuozzola
Journal Contributor
It has been half
a century since the
enactment of the Civil
Rights
Act,
which
ended
segregation
in public places and
made
employment
discrimination
illegal.
The act was proposed
by President John F.
Kennedy, and shortly
after his tragic death,
President
Lyndon
B.
Johnson
pursued
Kennedy’s
proposal.
More than 50 years later,
America is once again
torn and destructed by
racial violence. The “LBJ”
film is hangs in a critical
moment in America right
now because this movie
reflects the American
spirit wanting moving
toward racial equality
and putting an end
to racial violence and
discrimination.
Woody
Harrelson
takes on the role of a
historical American figure
who was deeply insecure,
politically driven and
faced with unimaginable
odds; Lyndon B. Johnson.
“LBJ” is a politicaldrama
film
which
premiered at the Brattle
Theatre on Wednesday.
The movie was directed
by Rob Reiner whose
intention in producing
this film “was to show
the
political
turmoil
that Vice President LBJ
was faced with after the
assassination of Kennedy”
said Reiner. The film
captured
this
pivotal
moment
in
American
history by showing it
through the lens of
Johnson,
in
addition
to capturing the true
essence of his character,
his motivations and his
legacy.
Reiner
expressed
the significance behind
focusing the plot of the
film on an extremely
precise and short span of
LBJ’s career.
“I figured if we could
hone in on the time of his
life when he was under
the most pressure, that
would really tease out
who he was,” said Reiner
in an interview that
followed the screening of
“LBJ.”
Woody
Harrelson
starred as Lyndon B.
Johnson and took on
the role of a man who
was propelled into the
presidency by the means
of an assassin’s bullet.
In the interview which
followed
the
private
viewing of the film,
Harrelson said, “I think
at this time in his life he
suddenly had the power
thrusted upon him and
he decided to use it for
a good thing. He knew it
was time to push forward
the Civil Rights Act.”
The film was inspired
by Johnson’s dear friend
and
prior
co-worker
Doris Kearns Goodwin’s
biography,
“Lyndon
Johnson and the American
Dream.”
“The convictions he
had for wanting to use
power for something
that mattered were
absolutely real.”
- Doris Kearns Goodwin
Historian and close friend
of Lyndon B. Johnson
“Doris’ insight to LBJ
gave us the full picture of
who this man was.” said
Reiner.
Goodwin discussed her
relationship to Johnson
and declared that it was
“eerie” for her to see him
come to life again in this
film.
“What
the
film
captures, which is so
important, is that his
presidency is the tale of
two presidencies,” said
Goodwin.
Goodwin stated what
she believed to be true of
Johnson, “the convictions
he had for wanting to use
power for something that
mattered were absolutely
real.”
The
film
certainly
opened a door for people
to create a new, clearer
or altered perceptions of
Lyndon B. Johnson and
his career. This was a
main goal of Reiner’s, who
claimed that most people
tend to have a distorted
image of Johnson.
“I was of draft age
during the Vietnam War
and I hated LBJ between
spending time in politics,
policy, and government
and
discovering
how
difficult it is to move an
agenda forward, I got a
greater appreciation of
LBJ,” said Reiner.
Lyndon B. Johnson’s
many
accomplishments
despite his unexpected
presidency are depicted,
as well as the struggles
he faced and the man he
was.
“What he did socially
and
economically
for
the country deserves to
be remembered,” said
Goodwin.
This film achieves just
that- his legacy is certainly
being reintroduced and
his memory brought back
to life.
“LBJ” is set to be
released on Nov. 3.

In a Suffolk cafeteria, far far away...
The ninth annual Suffolk University Dinner Theatre’s latest installment “Star Wars Episode: Murder,”
was a phenomenal display of talent by Suffolk students, despite slight audio issues
Felicity Otterbein
Arts Editor
In a society driven
by instant gratification,
it’s easy to get swept
up in the dramatics and
dissatisfaction
when
something is not put into
not-so-patiently waiting
hands.
Such is the millennial
lifestyle.
Those who grew up
in the digital age, so to
speak, have come to rely
so heavily on technology,
that
a
borderline
dependency
has
occurred. It’s needed for
art, entertainment, math
and scientific discovery,
yet when it’s needed to
work immediately and it
doesn’t perform in the
desired way, the first
reaction is disdain and
disappointment.
At Suffolk University,
students
and
faculty
alike have come to
appreciate the technology
at immediate disposal.

the
production had everything
from soup to nuts literally. A three-course
meal provided by Sodexo
was interspersed between
acts of comedy and
singing. Yet, the ultimate
downfall was ironically
enough, the lack of audio.
Spoofed songs from hit
films like “Moana” and
“Frozen” were difficult
to understand as the
lyrics from the characters
were drowned out in the
booming melodies from
the sound systems.

A
Cantab lounge features
renowned poet and activist
Kaitlin Hahn
Copy Editor
On
any
given
Wednesday
night
at
the Cantab Lounge in
Cambridge,
one
can
pay the three dollars
fee, present an ID and
make way through the
doorway, past the bar
full of locals and the
five 50-something-yearold members of the
local band of the night,
and down the arguably
questionable stairs to the
basement where songlike rhythm and words
come together, in the
world of slam poetry.
Upon entering the
basement, one becomes
engulfed in the world of
the Cantab. A world of
acceptance of differences
which
provides
a
platform for those to
express emotions toward
the oppression of those
differences. People from
all walks of life, ranging
from MIT professors to
students to the homeless,
gathered to hear the
artistic expression of
life experiences formed
from
instances
from
the everyday to the
unique. The venue is not
glamorous, one visit to
the restrooms will reveal
that, but this only adds
to the experience, as
distractions are limited
to completely focus on
the poets’ and their
artistic expression. The
night began with an open
mic, where members
from the audience are
free to test their stage
presence as well as their
poetry in front of the
group, possibly creating
the foundations for the
poetry slam following
or just there for the
moment.
After
this
open
mic, the group takes a
quick break, and then
reconvened to hear the
work of the featured poet.
This past Wednesday,
the featured poet was
Zenaida Peterson, whose
focus
was
primarily
around civil rights and
gender, using current
and historical events
to further a personal
stance on civil rights. For
gender, Peterson focused
on a personal journey to
a current identification
as a queer, non-binary
person,
describing
both
the
hardships
from society as well
as Peterson’s personal
conquest with finding an
inner peace.
Peterson
worked to connect with
the crowd, and shared
recounts of participating
at the Cantab as the
official starting place
before
broadening
horizons to other venues.
“I feel all the love in
here, I’ve been hoping
to be a feature at the
Cantab since I was just
doing slam here,” said
Peterson in a post poetrysession interview with
The Suffolk Journal.
After
Peterson
presented, the poetry
slam began. Audience
members such as a
man named “Don,” who
wished to not use his
last name for this article,
signed up for the slam
upon entering the venue
at the beginning of the
night waited patiently for
their turn through the
list of people.

poetry this week spanned

The feminist letters:
The demise of the coal industry is inevitable
Kyle Crozier
Senior Staff Writer
The American coal
industry was at one
time considered to be
the picture-perfect and
most patriotic career
choice available in rural
communities.
This image has been
challenged in the last
century, as hundreds of
thousands have lost their
jobs in a field of work that
continues to innovate
and automate to a point
where human labor is at
an all time low.
While many directly
impacted
by
this
downward
slope
in
employment see it as an
attack on their livelihoods,
a basic understanding of
the history and growth
of coal mining shows it
is a logical step forward
to reduce the number of
coal miners.
Those involved in the
industry seem to believe
that the government,
or worse that there are
those actively seeking the
demise of the industry
and those who rely on its
continued existence, has
shunned work with coal.
It is true that the
focus of many, both in
the private sector and
in the government, has
shifted away from these
individuals, but not as a
result of malice. Instead
the coal industry has
suffered two powerful
and fatal blows: the true
health impact of a coalfueled energy system
has come to light, and
the labor has become
incredibly mechanized as
companies seek the most
efficient methods. Beyond

Media critique: What is newsworthy?
The Trump administration is troubled, now move on
Ryan Arel
Journal Staff
Terrorism,
natural
disasters
and
mass
shootings; these are the
horrors that societies
everywhere are dealing
with and hearing about
on a regular basis.
Everyday, Americans
pick up their newspapers,
computers and phones to
see tear-jerking headlines
about the latest terrorist
attacks at home and
abroad, the newest verbal
recklessness of public
officials or the updated
death toll of any given
natural disaster.
The news and media
outlets have seemed to
be geared toward overcovering certain specific
affairs, such as the
Trump
administration,
where they can put
effort
elsewhere.
Furthermore, informing
the public consistently
on exclusively saddening
aspects of a story as
opposed
to
general
information of why the
events occurred while
also neglecting to cover
more relevant stories, has
become an issue.
Recently, there has
been mass fixation of the
media on Trump and his
cabinet, and the constant
coverage of every minor
transgression in speech
from Trump or the
administration does not
need to be front page
all the time. There are
plenty of other subjects
to discuss as opposed
to every controversial
statement
from
the
current presidency, and
the media should broaden
their views and talk more
about the actions the
administration is taking,
not always the rhetoric.
While the coverage of the
president is important,
flooding headlines and
a page with extensive
articles about the most
minor transgressions in
speech is not necessary.
As far as violent news
coverage goes, it is fair to
acknowledge that the “if it
bleeds it reads” mentality
and marketing scheme
exists among many media
outlets. People do want
to hear about the sinister
events of the time, but not
every day or every week
should the front page
be loaded with strictly
the cynical details of the
story. It’s important for
the general population to
be well informed about
events such as disasters
and shootings, but the
media needs to create
more page space to cover
other disciplines, such as
technological
advances
that
may
become
relevant to citizens in the
future. It’s the media’s
responsibility to cover
these
shootings
and
attacks, but not to obsess
themselves with them.
Furthermore, it is also
the responsibility of the
media to do everything
in their power to report
the true intentions and
reasons for why the U.S. is
involved in certain events
and places abroad, and
encourage a high level
of transparency between
the government and the
general public.
While the headlines

pages everywhere could
have been filled with
stories of regarding the
decades wars in Iraq or
Afghanistan. These are
conflicts the citizens of
the U.S. deserve to know
more about, and not
always in sob stories,
but updates on the
actions being took in the
region, or how the U.S. is
progressing to finalize its
efforts, which would be
much more relatable to
readers.
At the beginning of a
catastrophe, the coverage
is intense and in great
quantity; however, as
time goes on, coverage
often slowly declines,
while there are still
developments
worth
covering that gain light
coverage or uncovered
altogether.
The
bulk
of
the
beginning of a story
gets an abundance of
attention, but the tail end
of certain stories are left
alone.
For example, when
hurricanes ripped through
the
southern
U.S.,
pictures and coverage
of the damage were
ubiquitous, and seen on
every platform possible.
The
southeastern
region of the U.S. was
beleaguered with an array
of emotional and physical
hardships.
When
the
media covers events such
as the recent hurricanes,
they have a responsibility
to cover the disaster
itself, but also the relief
efforts. If someone looked
at the news weeks after,
there is little said about
the recovery.
It is topics like the
Iraq War, the war in
Afghanistan
and
U.S.
military efforts abroad as
a whole that get put on
the backburner for other
internal issues. And when
American lives are being
taken and altered by these
conflicts, they deserve
more coverage and their
efforts recognized. There
is a problem that needs
fixing, and the media
needs to shift their focus
toward coverage more
relevant to its readers,
as well as to cover more
about why events occur
abroad and encourage
transparency, not the
cynical details. Only then
could there be a change
in the public’s perception
of the media’s priorities.

a feminist in today’s society.

Journal Contributor
Feminism
has
remained a term open
to a plethora of different
interpretations.
There is no singular
or specific way of being
a feminist. To speak in
general terms, feminists
are those who support
and actively participate
in establishing equality
among
all
people
regardless of gender.
Feminism
concerns
equality for all people
in every aspect of life,
whether
economical,
personal or social equality.
The acknowledgment of
the systems of oppression
against the equality and
success of women since
the beginning of time is
crucial to understanding
the feminist movement
and ideology.
All
of
society
is
forced to acknowledge
the
oppression
of
women in one way
or
another,
written
directly in our history
textbooks,
discussed
in daily life and even
prevalent in our Twitter
feeds. Acknowledgment
is
essential
to
understanding how the
feminist movements have
cultivated
throughout
history and in present
times.
In
contemporary
society, acknowledgment
is a step but not a piece
of the puzzle in the
establishment of equality.
To
achieve
equality
amongst the sexes is to
actively advocate and
pursue the principle that
women and those who
identify as a woman gain
the opportunities, respect
and equality to that of
men.
With this necessary
and
realistic
notion,
those who identify as
feminists have and even
continue
to
receive
negative
judgments,
harsh
criticisms
and
stereotypes.
Negative connotations
and stereotypes have been
attributed to feminists
since the origin of the
feminist
movement.
Feminists are said to be
those who take an “antimale” stance.
This is simply false;
feminism is not about
bringing a gender down,
it is about empowering
females and ensuring that
they are treated and seen
as equals to that of their
male counterparts.
This is the feminist
movement: a movement
that has made strides
throughout history, in
contemporary
society
and continues to propel
forward in the aim of
equality.
The
feminism
movement
plays
a
vital role in the United
States current affairs.
The
Women’s
March
on Washington was a
movement that created
an enhanced wave of
feminism.
This movement, which
took place worldwide the
day after President Donald
Trump’s
inauguration,
brought forth an intense
and positive mission for
equality among the sexes.
The post Women’s March
on Washington impact
remains strong and the
fight for equality is more
powerful than ever with
the number of people
who are participating in
this pursuit increaseing
daily.
Feminism is about
telling our sisters, nieces
and daughters that they
will be afforded the same
equalities as men and
be both successful and
comfortable in any role,
job or leadership position.
When society has found
complete confidence in
what we are telling these
young girls and women
to be truthful, gender
equality will occur.

Editor’s Word
The world is not inherently fair
and never will be. To those who
lack resources time and opportunity
to effect immediate change upon
graduation, we applaud your
perseverance.
To those with all three or any
combination, utilize them to the
extent that the world allows you.
The Suffolk community comes from
skewed demographics, just like any
other community. Some are broke,
some are anxiety-ridden, some
need to work an endless stream of
menial jobs to live day-to-day, but
they live right alongside those that
seemingly have it all, coexisting in
near harmony.
It’s not going to change, we are
constantly trying to get our footing
on an uneven plane, to get used to
it. It’s better to accomplish one thing
well, than to approach a few things
with mediocrity. Utilize all you
posses to drive yourself, and don’t
hold back.
To the people with privilege that
sit idly by as their college clock
runs out: you should be ashamed.
Thousands of students across the
country are lined up right behind
you to take your opportunity. Take
full advantage of everything you’ve
got.
While college life may contain a
level of privilege for some, others
are not as lucky. Play the hand
you’re dealt. Complacency will cloud
your vision, and may ultimately
determine your place in life. As
enticing as it seems, don’t fall victim.
No one wants to see this become of
you.
While others battle the daily
routine from sun up to sundown, not
because they want to, but because
they have to, take heed of their
determination. If you find yourself
in a position of opportunity, take
it. Don’t let it slip by because it’ll be
gone before you know it, and it’s all
you have.

Appropriation can be avoided on Halloween

Elvira Mora

Cultural appropriation
is most prevalent in
the days leading up to
Halloween, where people
are choosing costumes for
trick-or-treating. Instead
of sticking to the normal
ghosts
and
vampires,
many choose to pretend
to be another culture.
Any
costume
that

not be worn. Growing

which are a part of my

Planning ahead for
a Halloween costume
is exciting and gives
people something to look
forward to. However,
there is a fine line
between appreciating a
culture and appropriating
it.
Appreciating a culture
is when an individual
takes the time to research
and learn about a certain
custom, hairstyle, type of
dress and other aspects.
On the other end, a
well known definition
of appropriating is to
inherently find one aspect
of a culture and marking
it as “trendy” and taking
it on as your own, when
you are from a completely
different culture.
There is no clear

“When we all came into the lounge
[after the second day of the tournament], we
saw [coach Parker] and he had the biggest smile on
his face and we immediately ran up to the scoreboard
and saw that we won,” said Chapman in a recent interview
with The Journal. “I felt so proud of my team and was excited to
hold our plaque.”
Head coach Jay Parker was euphoric with the result of the NEIGA
championship, admitting that he did not expect the team to be that successful.
“I can’t say that going into the final tournament, I thought we were the
favorite,” said Parker in a recent interview with The Suffolk Journal.
All six golfers for the Lady Rams finished within the top 12 spots of the
tournament. Freshman Nicole Antonucci led the way for the Lady Rams, scoring a total
of 181 strokes between the two days of the tournament, placing her fourth overall. Some
other top finishers included junior Mackenzie McGrath with a score of 182, putting her at
fifth overall in the tournament and freshman Brooke Champman, scoring a 183.
“To have some of them play their best rounds at the end of the season, it just shows how
far they’ve come,” said Parker.
Antonucci, McGrath and Champman were all allocated the individual All-NEIGA award after
their outstanding performances. Not only had this been the first time in Suffolk women’s golf
history that this feat was achieved, but the first time in Suffolk University’s golf program’s history
that this award had been given to any individual.
McGrath said in a recent interview with The Journal that she and her teammates knew they had to
perform exceptionally, if the Lady Rams wanted to take home hardware. By winning all-NEIGA along
with Antonucci and Champman, McGrath feels the team accomplished that.
Parker said that the accomplishments of the three golfers showed the improvement the Lady Rams
had experienced over the course of the fall campaign. Parker went on to explain that the team’s fifth and
sixth positioned golfers, Antonucci and McGrath, ended up third and fourth overall in the tournament,
noting just how amazing the weekend was for the team.
Parker has been involved with Suffolk’s athletic department for nearly 20 years. More recently, he was
named head coach for the Lady Rams’ golf team when the program began in 2016.
“I don’t think the team would have gotten this far without coach Parker,” said freshman Olivia Spiega
in a recent interview with The Journal. “I have to give a lot of credit to his amazing coaching and bringing
the team together.”
Although the Lady Rams may have surprised other teams, the golfers expected this outcome.
“Based off of how our prior tournaments went and how we stacked up against the competition, we
knew this was ours to win,” said McGrath.
Champman went into detail about how the team stepped up to the plate after holding a smaller lead
in the first day of the tournament.
“Going into the second day, we only had an eight stroke lead. We knew that we had to play really
well the second day,” said Champman.
Antonucci was confident in the Lady Rams successes from this season and was looking forward to
the next season.
“I thought it was amazing that we won the conference,” said Antonucci in a recent interview
with The Journal. “I do have higher expectations for next year, because we are so young we will
only improve.”
The season never ends for this ambitious squad. Off-season conditioning will begin next
week as the Lady Rams prepare for an attempt at defending their NEIGA crown next season.

Three womens’ soccer seniors score hat tricks

Journal Contributor
Three
Suffolk
University
women’s
soccer
team
seniors
finished their regular
season careers wearing
the same uniform they
started in four years
ago. Forwards Alexandra
Nagri and Jen Martin
netted hat tricks in the
final
regular
season
game; a 10-0 victory over
Mass Maritime Academy.
Forward
Jessica
Harmon,
Nagri
and
Martin seemed to be
finishing up the season on
a strong note. All three of
them recorded hat tricks
in the second half of the
season, propelling Suffolk
to a late season playoff
push.
Nagri started off the
hat trick trend on Sept.
30, scoring three goals
against Norwich Academy,
boosting Suffolk to a 5-3
victory.
Martin impressed at
senior day on Oct. 14,
scoring four of Suffolk’s
five goals in a 5-0 victory
over Rivier University.
In the very next game
Harmon scored three
goals of her own, leading
Suffolk to a 6-0 victory
of Pine Manor College on
Oct. 16, one of their more
dominant wins of the
season.
Nagri’s soccer journey
started when she was
three years old. With an
instant love for soccer,
she began playing in local
leagues before attending
Central Catholic High
School
in
Lawrence,
Massachusetts.
Nagri’s
success
continued
throughout
her
collegiate
career.
As a Ram, Nagri netted

in her collegiate career.
She became the second
Lady Ram to score at
least 100 career points. In
her senior season alone,
Nagri scored 14 goals
with 30 points.
“The school, coaches
and team made it really
fun and enjoyable to play
here. When you enjoy
playing, you play your
best,” said Nagri.
The women’s soccer
team lost nine seniors,
leaving many open roster
spots for next season.
Despite losing a big core
of their team, Nagri was
confident that the legacy
her and the team have
left behind will continue
to grow.
“The team has come
a long way in the past
couple of years. If the
younger
[teammates]
keep
working
hard,
Suffolk can become one
of the top women’s soccer
programs in the league,”
said Nagri.
Senior forward Martin
started her soccer career
when she was six years
old and began playing
recreational
league
soccer in her hometown
of Haddam, Connecticut.
After
continuing
her
passion in high school
at Haddam-Killingworth,
Martin began her journey
as a freshman at Suffolk.
Martin emerged in her
senior year, recording 12

goals and 28 points. Her
biggest attribute, besides
her hard work, was her
speed. Opposing coaches
would warn defenders
of Martin’s speed as she
would run down the field.
“Don’t let 11 get by
you” became a popular
phrase among opposing
teams
and
coaches,
according to the fans in
attendance.
“Getting a hat trick on
senior day was extremely
special.
It
was
sad
coming to a realization
our season would be
over soon, but winning
5-0 definitely lifted our
spirits,” said Martin in a
recent interview with The
Journal.
Martin finished her
Suffolk soccer career with
38 goals and 92 points.
“[My
teammates]
motivate me both on and
off the field and truly
inspire me. They are the
reason I love playing,”
said Martin.
Martin also credited
head coach Darren Lloyd
for the team’s success as
well as helping her grow
as an athlete.
“[Lloyd]
taught
us
never to give up and play
for the team, not your
individual self. Appreciate
every moment you have
being a part of this team,”
said Martin. “Don’t take
anything for granted.
Before you know it, you’ll
be tying up your laces for
the last time.”
Harmon may have
had a much different
start to her soccer career
compared to Martin and
Nagri, but she certainly
is finishing just as strong.
Originally from Orange
County,
California,
Harmon traveled across
the country to play soccer
for the Lady Rams.

Suffolk University’s campus
used to be washed in pink
for Breast Cancer Awareness
Month. Since 2013, the October
campus-wide stigma to raise
awareness has lacked and
only some individuals and
departments have attempted to
keep it alive.
By Brooke Patterson, Sports Editor
Felicity Otterbein, Arts & Culture Editor
For many, fall is associated with an almost instantaneous shift in
color to vibrant reds, oranges and yellows, but at Suffolk University,
for at least one day in the month of October, the city campus used to be
awashed in pink.
The university used to have a campus-wide awareness event, formerly
known as “Stand Up For Pink,” where the Suffolk community gathered
as a sea of pink t-shirts and formed a pink human ribbon inside the
Ridgeway gymnasium to show their support and solidarity in raising
awareness. The event, hosted by the Athletics Department, invited
speakers from across campus to participate and discuss their efforts
in raising breast cancer awareness.
Those days have passed and university-wide efforts have since

When
advertising
major Kate Cusick was
gearing up this past
summer to leave Paris,
she was on her own to
find a place to live in
Boston, with little help
from her own university’s
student housing.
After spending the
entirety of her junior year
studying abroad in Paris,
the
emerging
senior
decided to spend the
summer before her last
year at Suffolk in France
to
work.
Throughout
the
summer,
Cusick
was actively looking for
apartments in Boston
to spend her final year
before graduation.
With family occupied
in Rhode Island, it was
impossible for Cusick to
commute from there to
Suffolk each day and to
find lodging space seemed
nearly impossible.
“There’s
so
much
spam on Craigslist and
I discovered a lot of
apartments don’t want
to lease to undergrads,”
said Cusick in a recent
interview with The Suffolk
Journal. Eventually Cusick
found an apartment that
she would be able to pay
for through her earnings,
but it fell through while
she was still residing in
France.
Cusick
contacted
Suffolk for tips to close
on an apartment, but
said in an interview that
she was told that her
price range was “too low”
and she would have to
find a place that would
eventually be $400 more
than her initial budget.
“This was clearly not
something that I could
afford,” said Cusick.

struggle to find housing,
specifically after students’
first year.
Freshmen journalism
major Brandon Clay said
to a Journal reporter in
an interview on Tuesday
that he is “stressed” about
his living situation for the
next four years.
”I love living oncampus. If I don’t get
chosen for the lottery, I
have no clue where I will
live next year,” said Clay.
“Giving us more housing
would be really helpful
and I wouldn’t be as
worried.”
Suffolk
is
looking
to change this attitude
toward limited housing.
“It’s safe to say that
we are always looking
for
opportunities
to
provide more beds for
Suffolk students,” said
Vice President of External
Affairs John Nucci in an
interview. As an East
Boston native, former
city councilor, school
committeeman, Massport
Community
Advisory
Committee member and
community activist, Nucci
looks to figure additional
housing
for
Suffolk
students.
Suffolk
currently
houses 23 to 24 percent
of students in the present
dormitory
buildings:
Miller Hall on Somerset
Street,
150
Tremont,
10 West or the Modern
Theatre apartments.
However, this time,
the dormitory would not
necessarily be situated in
downtown Boston, but in
a neighborhood of Boston
where the commute time
would be around 10
minutes.
“It’s not so much
distance as it is the issue
of commute time,” said
Nucci in an interview on
Friday afternoon. “We’re
looking at the idea of
having something located
on an MBTA line.”
With
strong
ties
and credibility to East
Boston, Nucci admitted
to having already looked
at
opportunities
in
the area, as well as in
Charlestown and South
Boston, steering clear
from Downtown’s soaring
prices.
“We have a leg up
going in [to East Boston],”
said Nucci.
Suffolk
hired
commercial real estate
powerhouse
Colliers
International, a company
Suffolk has worked with
in the past, to help with
the project after a request
for proposal [RFP] process
the university held this
summer.
“Colliers is helping us
out with both technical
assistance and advisory
services,” said Nucci. The
amount of knowledge that
Colliers had on the local
market and surrounding
areas made them the best
choice, he said.
According to Nucci,
many developers have
already approached the
university with potential
sites, as Suffolk will not
be building from the
“ground up.”
“[Colliers will help
us]
review
ability,
affordability, and [the
buildings’]
location
among other issues,” said
Nucci.
Much like how many
universities are tackling
development
projects,
Suffolk is looking for a
public-private partnership
with a developer, or
owner, of a building. In
sight, Nucci said that a
private developer would
provide the facility and
Suffolk would manage it.
Nucci is looking to have
this partnership be longterm with an extensive
lease and Suffolk is
looking to move onto a
new opportunity soon.
“This is an urgent
matter so there is a sense
of urgency,” said Nucci.
“It’s part of the existing
strategic plan to increase
housed students.”
A team that has
consisted of Nucci, the
Financial
department,
Student
Affairs
and
Residence Life have a
“great say” about the type
of facility that Suffolk
leases from in the near
future.
“If
the
right
opportunity
presents
itself, we would move on
it,” said Nucci.
However, the process to
receive the city’s approval
is comprehensive, and
Nucci, as someone with
more than 30 years of
public service, is familiar
with the road ahead.
“Any development that
we do get will require
approval from the city and
it is an extensive process.
In terms of meeting
with neighbors and with
community members, we
will need to get approval
from that neighborhood,”
said Nucci as he cited the
rocky relationship that
Suffolk had with Beacon
Hill before he worked in
the university’s external
affairs unit. “There was no
trust [with Beacon Hill],
no credibility and, quite
frankly, the university
had run over [the Hill’s]
best interests. Prior to me
coming and prior to this
department of External
Affairs being created,
there was no department
for community relations
here at Suffolk. And it
showed. We have turned
that around completely.”
Nucci
emphasized
that
it
would
be
important for Suffolk
to not “repeat history”
with a neighborhood,
much like it did with
Beacon Hill. He said that
Suffolk would have to
gain credibility and trust
with the neighborhood
that they would move
a residence hall to, and
ensure to the community
that a dormitory would
be in their best interest.
“The main concern,
that many neighborhoods
have, is that there are
students
in
private
housing that perhaps
make
noise
or
the
neighbors consider to be
disruptive,” said Nucci.
“If we can take those
students out of that
private housing and put
them in a supervised
university setting, that
concern will change.”
“My
message
[to
neighborhoods] usually is
that [students are] coming
anyway,” said Nucci.
Cusick, who battled to
find an apartment while
across the Atlantic Ocean,
and now pays more each
month than she did in
Paris, said that she thinks
that additional housing at
Suffolk is vital.
“I really think that
offering more on campus
housing would be a great
option for people who
are coming back to the
U.S. from abroad or have
just transferred and need
a place to live,” she said.
“I have had numerous
Suffolk friends who were
also in my situation.”

decreased, but breast
cancer awareness has
remained important at
Suffolk. Current faculty
and students have been
making
limited,
but
significant,
efforts
to
keep awareness present
throughout the university.
This month bears the
weight of Breast Cancer
Awareness, a title that
comes
with
immense
stature and stigma. As
of late, efforts have been
made to eradicate the
world of the horrors that
stem from the disease.
The first step begins with
raising awareness.
The Suffolk University
Police
Officers
have
taken a stance in the
national campaign for
breast cancer awareness,
Pink

Project,
and are included in
the
22
participating
forces
including
the
Massachusetts
State
Police,
among
fellow
Boston university police
departments
such
as
Massachusetts College of
Art and Design. According
to Sergeant Jameson Yee,
the SUPD has taken it
upon themselves to wear
a pink patch in support of
two fellow sergeants, who
are currently undergoing
treatments for cancer
themselves.
“Unfortunately,
everyone
has
been
affected by cancer one
way or another,” said
Sergeant Yee in a recent
interview
with
The
Journal. “Through the
pink patch project, which
is a national movement,
it’s one to obviously start
conversations so people
can talk, support and
also learn more about
breast cancer and cancer
awareness.”

in order to contribute
to the cause and show
support.
“Breast
cancer
has
affected so many people,
and so many of the sisters
know someone who has
suffered from it, or some
other form of cancer,”
she said. “It’s always
incredibly heartwarming
to see how many people
come out to support the
cause and what a positive
event it is.”
Radiation

Program
Director
and instructor of the
Introduction to Cancer

has taken the initiative to
begin raising awareness
by starting with her small
classes.
Mak told The Suffolk
Journal in a recent
interview that because
breast
cancer
is
a
prevalent disease, she
feels it is important
for individuals to know
and
understand
the
causes, risks and other
contributing factors so
that they can educate
themselves and practice
healthy lifestyle habits.
“I imagine most people
understand cancer is a bad
thing, but I don’t know if
people understand how it
works,” said Mak. “I feel
Courtesy of Theta Phi Alpha
like the more people that
can know about it the
better.”
In her course, which
is a highly anticipated
and sought after class
according
to
Suffolk
students, Mak discussed
the top 10 cancers in the
United States, including
breast cancer. Ranked as
the second most common
cancer, behind melanoma,
found in both men and
women, breast cancer
is the most commonly
diagnosed
cancer
in
women alone, according
to National Breast Cancer
Foundation,
Inc.
The
course has also taught of
the specifics on pediatric
cancers, nutrition and
exercise, complementary
therapies,
cancer
prevention
and
selfidentification.
For select dates in
October, Mak organized
a “pink day,” within
the two sections of her
Introduction to Cancer
Care course, where she
awarded students extra
credit to wear an article
of pink clothing to class.
Mak told The Journal
that
by
doing

The Opioid Crisis: A local, national issue
Maggie Randall
D.C. Correspondant
As students returned
to Suffolk University’s
campus this fall, posters
advertising Narcan, a
nasal spray which uses the
drug naloxone to revive
the victim of an opioid
overdose, have made an
arrival around the streets
of Boston. These posters
are just a small sign
that the opioid crisis has
crept its way into Boston,
the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, and the
entire country.
According to Suffolk
sociology
professor
Susan Sered, there has
not necessarily been an
increase in drug use, but
the increase in the number
of opioid overdoses in
recent years. Sered said
these
overdoses
are
primarily within white
communities and has
recently attracted the
attention of lawmakers.
“The racialized war
on drugs has been the
mechanism
for
mass
incarceration of people
of color in the United
States,” said Sered in a an
interview with The Suffolk
Journal “In contrast, the
public ‘face’ of the opioid
crisis is white and the
public conversation has
shifted to the need for
treatment for the ‘disease’
rather than punishment
for the ‘crime.”
In late September,
Boston
Mayor
Marty
Walsh announced the
Personal
Advancement
for
Individuals
and
Recovery (PAIR) initiative
to
provide
financial
support for low-income
individuals in the early
stages of opioid addiction
recovery.
“You
don’t
fix
addiction,
and
cure
addiction,
and
battle
addiction by yourself. It’s
a community that keeps
a person in recovery,”
said Walsh in announcing
the PAIR initiative at
the Gavin Foundation in
South Boston.
Walsh has worked to
combat the opioid crisis
in Boston by creating the
Mayor’s Office of Recovery
Services,
which
has
focused on substance use
disorders and addiction
in the city. Since 2015,
the Office has engaged
stakeholders
including
local communities, as
well as state and federal
authorities.
The
Massachusetts
Department of Public
Health reported that 58
percent of patients in
Boston use heroin as a
primary substance, and
that the use of heroin
is giving way to other
opioids such as fentanyl.
The
Boston
Globe
reported in August that
“fentanyl was the cause
of 81 percent of overdose
deaths in the first quarter
of 2017.”
These types of drugs
are a particularly concern
for
Governor
Charlie
Baker, who has made
the opioid epidemic a
legislative priority.
“This whole approach
to getting a lot more
aggressive about dealing
with street drugs and
especially with fentanyl
and carfentanil,” said
Baker
in
an
early
September interview with
CBS, “has to be a big part
of our approach at this
point going forward too.”
Congress
identifies
the lack of professional
staff at substance abuse
facilities as a problem
facing the United States.
Pending in the U.S. Senate
is the Strengthening the
Addiction
Treatment
Workforce Act, a student
loan forgiveness program
for professionals who
pursue
careers
in
substance treatment.
Representative
Katherine
Clark
(DMA) recommended the
bill in a U.S. House
of
Representatives
Subcommittee on Health
hearing on October 11.
Representatives
Bill
Keating (D-MA) and Joe
Kennedy (D-MA) were
also present to testify on
the opioid crisis and offer
legislative solutions.
Keating, having served
as district attorney before
being elected to the
House, explained how he
saw individuals who were
prescribed opioid drugs,
later become addicted
to heroin. Kennedy, who
also served as a district
attorney, advocated for
greater education on how
law enforcement treats
addicted individuals.
On Thursday, Senators
Elizabeth Warren (D-MA),
and Lisa Murkowski (RAK) sent a letter to Trump
questioning his inaction
on the opioid crisis.
“We are extremely
concerned that 63 days
after your statement,
you have yet to take the
necessary steps to declare
a national emergency on
opioids, nor have you
made any proposals to
significantly
increase
“The racialized
war on drugs
has been the
mechanism
for mass
incarceration of
people of color
in the United
States.”

funding to combat the
epidemic,” the Senators
wrote.
Last March, Trump
created through
an
executive
order,
the
President’s Commission
on
Combating
Drug
Addiction and the Opioid
Crisis, which Baker is a
part of.
“This is an epidemic
that knows no boundaries
and shows no mercy,
and we will show great
compassion and resolve
as we work together on
this important issue,”
said
Trump
in
his
announcement of the
Commission.
Later, in early August,
Trump
described
the
opioid epidemic as a
“national emergency.”
“We’re going to spend
a lot of time, a lot of
effort and a lot of money
on the opioid crisis,” said
Trump.
Trump
has
simultaneously
worked
to repeal the Medicaid
expansion through the
Affordable
Care
Act,
which worked to provide
greater accessibility to
addiction
treatment.
Trump’s
decision
to
not support this policy
jeopardizes
addiction
treatment,
particularly
in relation to the opioid
epidemic.
Sered has hope that
Massachusetts will not
face as many issues in
dealing with opioid use
and
overdoses
under
the current presidential
administration as some
other places will.
“The
President’s
efforts to take apart the
Affordable Care Act will
negatively affect access to
drug treatment for many
Americans,” said Sered.
“Locally, I am a bit more
optimistic.”
Sered
adds
that
research in the Boston
area on public healthcare
is active, and should
be the focus for higher
education
institutions,
like Suffolk.
“Institutions
of
higher education have
the
responsibility
to
teach how to access
trustworthy,
rigorous
research. This can be
difficult when the area
of concern is emerging
and rapidly developing,”
said Sered. “Universities
cannot teach students
‘the truth’ but we can
and must teach students
how to find and assess
information.”

Immigration in Trump’s world
Roxana Martinez
Journal Contributor
Clinical Law Professor
Ragini Shah spoke to
prospective law students
and practicing lawyers
last Thursday, focusing
on immigration policy
during President Donald
Trump’s administration.
The
evening
was
dedicated
to
discussing the problems
immigration lawyers have
dealt with since Trump’s
inauguration.
Shah described how
the burgeoning pressure
placed on lawyers to
challenge the policies
that the administration
has been trying to enforce
has created a confusing
environment.
“We’re operating in a
paradigm where I don’t
know what’s going to
happen,” said Shah.
Since the beginning
of
his
campaign,
Trump’s
decision
to
make immigration the
cornerstone of his political
platform has sparked
heated conversation and
attention. Trump’s recent
policy changes regarding
immigration have also
recreated a similar sense
of contention amongst
people.

One
of
the
first
methods attempted by
Trump was a travel ban
that he put into place on
Jan. 24, 2017, in which
he prohibited the entry
of people coming in from
predominantly
Muslim
countries such as Syria and
Iraq. This ban was heavily
contested by many, and
as a result was blocked by
judges in several states,
such as New York and
Massachusetts. There was
also the federal decision
to rescind the Deferred
Action
for
Childhood
Arrivals (DACA) program,
which was made on Sept.
5, 2017.
These orders have
caused an anxious frenzy
among
immigrants,

Polls show Republican
Party losing popularity
The Republican Party is losing popularity at
Suffolk, according to a Suffolk University/USA
Today poll of voters, as the party currently
stands at 62 percent disapproval rate. This
drop, as the favorability rate now rests at 23
percent, is a dramatic change from the 32
percent favorability in the June poll, conducted
by the Suffolk University Political Research
Center. “In March the GOP had a 48 percent
unfavorable rating, in June the negative swelled
to 55 percent. Today the GOP unfavorable is 62
percent,” said Director of the Suffolk University
Political Research Center David Paleologos.
According to the poll, the Democrat party has
a 37 percent favorability rating. Opinions on
healthcare mimic these rates with 43 percent
of the voters trusted congressional democrats,
compared to the 15 percent who trusted
Trump and an even less 10 percent that trusted
Republicans. This matches the results of the poll
towards the Affordable Care Act, with 45 percent
of people wanting to keep the plan intact but fix
any problems.
Kelly applauds The
Washington Center
Suffolk’s Acting President, Marisa Kelly, released
a post on her “Momentum” blog Friday evening,
that highlighted the near 40 years of partnership
between the university and The Washington
Center. The Washington Center was described
by Kelly as a non-profit organization who has
worked with college students to help them
gain experience in Washington D.C. where
internships have ranged from congressional
offices to lobbying firms. Students choose the
option of academic seminars or full semesters,
and the program allowed for students to gain
a deeper insight into the world of public policy
and politics. Kelly attended The Center’s annual
scholarship dinner this past week, and was
able to look on as Suffolk was mentioned as
a committed partner to the program. In her
blog post, Kelly spoke of her excitement of the
relationship between the Center and Suffolk, as
well as appreciation for all the Center is able to
provide for Suffolk students as they intern in D.C.
Kelly went on to thank the Suffolk community
and their help in fostering the relationship with
The Center, especially the now-retired Professor
Emeritus John Berg, for his role in developing
the program between the two organizations.
HUBweek brings minds of

Catalonia awaits decision on secession
By Facebook user Republican SINN FÉIN Poblachtach
Protestors in Catalonia march with flags and signs demanding independence on Oct. 1 election day
Matt Geer
Journal Contributor
With
the
pending
secession
of
the
autonomous
Catalonia,
the political landscape of
Spain has been notably
altered. This poses a
multitude of problems for
both the nation of Spain
and Catalonia.
For Spain, Catalan
independence
would
mean losing its most
industrialized
region
and would put Spain in
a much weaker financial
state.
Although the push for
secession seems like it
has stalled out because
the governments of both
Catalonia and Spain have
had talks to settle the
matter for now, this move
could potentially be end
up being disastrous for
the Catalan government,
if carried out.
The
central
government of Spain gave
Catalonia’s vastly liberal
representatives
until
Thursday, to completely
halt the movement of
secession from Spain.
Andres
Cayuela,
a
senior student at Suffolk
who
was
born
and
raised in Spain discussed
how
he
understands
the
movement
and
agrees with the basis
of
more
government
representation, but is
hesitant about Catalonia
departing
from
the
EU. He also brought to
light how Catalans have
been neglected in past
elections by the Spanish
government.
“We tried our best in
past elections and now
people feel they need
to seek independence
themselves,” said Cayuela.
“But I don’t want them
to become independent
from the EU because even
with its issues, it is still
something that we have
always been apart of.”
The Oct. 1 Catalan
I n d e p e n d e n c e
Referendum
was
seemingly a replica of
just that. 92.01 percent
of Catalan people voted
in favor of independence,
but there was a dismal
43.03
percent
voter
turnout.
“The
low
turnout
I believe comes from
the
belief
that
the
transition to government
recognition can be done
a different way,” said
Cayuela. “A lot of these
people are viewed as
radicals and while that
isn’t completely fair, not
everyone is completely
ready to separate from
Spain.”
The referendum wasn’t
a peaceful event, and that
caught the eyes of people
all over Europe. Riots
televised by major news
networks during the Oct.
1 vote depicted Catalan
firefighters forming a
human chain around the
raucous voters to protect
them, symbolically and
physically,
from
the
Spanish police. Cayuela
discussed how the police
used force against the
individuals
labelled
“radicals”
and
how
the whole matter was
completely unacceptable.
“The
police
force
was uncalled for and
disgusting,
ballots
being
literally
ripped
out of people’s hands,”
Cayuela said. “For such
a significant event, the
police response disgusted
the people of Catalonia
and the rest of the EU.”
The
last
couple
weeks have stirred up
conversations throughout
Spain that will continue
to probe the citizens
past the attempt at
independence. As this
situation at the surface
is seemingly coming to
a close, many social,
political and economic
doors have been opened
in Spain and all of Europe.
“Catalonia has been
part of Spain for hundreds
of years,” said Cayuela.
“There will be people that
want change and people
that don’t, and that
should be in line with the
central government.”
In an recent interview
with The Suffolk Journal,
government professor at
Suffolk University Madrid
Campus Ana Belen Soage
shared why she believes
that people in Catalonia
have spoken about their
mistreatment
by
the

“The police force was uncalled for and
disgusting, ballots being literally ripped out
of people’s hands”
- Andres Cayuela
national government in
Spain.
“Catalan independence
seekers have recently
begun to complain that
they put in way more than
they get back in return,”
said Belen Soage.
Soage went on to
discuss how many of the
political issues in Spain
regarding
Catalonia
arose
from
overlying
economic problems that
came up between the
nation and its subpart.
She said that what a
lot of people may not
realize is that Catalonia
may
face
indefinite
dilemmas if the secession
were to take shape.
Catalonia’s
businesses
and
public
spending
have already taken a hit
as their existence as an
autonomous has been
glamoured over in the
last decade.
“It is a very prosperous
part of Spain and the
Catalan
government
wants this to be reflected
in politics, like it should,”
she
said.
“However,
Catalonia would run into
many fees and other
issues in the process of
disbanding from Spain.”
Catalonia
would
be forced to leave the
European Union (EU)
with its departure from
Spain, and a smooth
transition back into the
EU after succession looks
to be unlikely with Spain
set to veto any attempt
of Catalonia joining the
union.
Additionally,
members of the French
and German government
have come out and said
that they would also veto.

WORLD BRIEFS
India’s inequality gap hits
near hundred-year high
John Irizarry
Journal Contributor
By Facebook user BWgovernment
Terrorist attack hit Mogadishu
TERROR ATTACK CLAIMS
HUNDREDS OF LIVES IN
SOMALIA
More than 300 people were killed by a truck bomb in Mogadishu,
Somalia on Saturday. On Tuesday, multiple news sources confirmed
that the perpetrator of the attack was a former soldier in the Somali
army. His home was raided by a coalition of local troops and U.S.
special forces. Somali officials stated that the attack originated
from Bariire, 30 miles west of Mogadishu, according to multiple
news sources. Ten civilians were killed in the raid, according to The
Guardian. The attack is one of the deadliest terror attacks in the world
for many years. Investigators believe that the attack may have been
revenge for the mishandled U.S.-led military operation in Somalia in
August. Used in the attack were a Toyota Noah minivan and a much
larger truck that carried nearly 800 pounds of military-grade and
homemade explosives. The truck was detonated in the busy center
of Samalia and ignited a deadly fireball. The minivan was stopped
at a checkpoint and the driver was detained. The explosives in the
van detonated shortly after, but no casualties were reported. All
security personnel, except for those directly responsible for stopping
the van, were removed from duty following the attack, according to
The Guardian.
DOMESTIC FORCES CLAIM
RAQQA FROM ISLAMIC STATE
Syrian fighters, backed by the United States, have taken full control
of Raqqa, the Islamic State’s (IS) self-proclaimed capital since 2014.
IS implemented an extreme interpretation of Islamic law and used
numerous methods of torture and execution to terrorize residents
of Raqqa who opposed their rule. Sources say that 90 percent of the
Raqqa has been cleared, accord to a U.S. military spokesman. The
Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have made capturing Raqqa a major
priority since last November. They enacted their operation by slowly
encircling the city and then breaking in through IS defenses on the
outskirts of Raqqa in June. The SDF cleared the municipal stadium and
the National Hospital as of Tuesday morning - the last two prominent
IS locations in Raqqa. Furthermore, SDF is now beginning clearing
operations to uncover any sleeper cells that might have been missed
and also to remove mines. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights
reported that at least 3,250 people have been killed in the past five
months. Among the people killed, 1,130 were civilians. The UN said
last week that about 8,000 people were still trapped in Raqqa, and that
almost 270,000 civilians have been displaced since April.

The divide between
India’s elite and the
lower class is the largest
economic disparity the
country has witnessed in
nearly 100 years.
The top one percent
of earners in India have
accrued 22 percent of the
total income, compared
to the six percent owned
in the 1980’s, according
to French economists
Thomas Piketty and Lucas
Chancel.
Chanel
and
Piketty also concluded
that the top 0.1 percent
of earners from 1980 to
2014 received a greater
share of total growth than
the bottom 50 percent.
“Inequality is somehow
inherent
to
capitalist
systems and free market
economies,” said Suffolk
University International
Relations
professor
Roberto Dominguez in
an interview with The
Suffolk Journal. “That’s a
fact. But many economies
are better equipped to
deal with inequality.”
However, aside from
having the largest wage
gap in almost a century,
India has remained a
global economic power
and among one of the
ten richest countries in
the world, according to
Piketty and Chancel.
India
has
been
on both sides of the
economy: previously the
socialist side and, more
recently, the free market
side. When India was a
socialist country between
the 1920s and the 1970s,
it not only rendered
slower growth, it also put
a substantial amount of
the country’s citizens in
poverty.
When India began the
plunge into a free market
economy, it had shortlived positive outcomes.
The
current
system
has left the country in
extreme poverty with a
wide gap between the
top one percent and the
bottom 99 percent.
According
to
Dominguez,
poverty
and inequality are not
mutually exclusive, “On
one side you can develop
policies
of
economic
growth, but at the same
time economic growth
will not reduce because
you apply redistribution
policies,” he said.
The massive population
of India has contributed
to the economic issues,
according to Dominguez.
“In the case of India, we
have traditional economic
gaps in the society,
there’s no state capacity
to get revenue and to
set a formal economy for
over one billion people,”
said Dominguez.
The Indian economy
has never been a onesize fits all. Since the
introduction of income
tax in 1922, India’s
economy has experienced
fluctuation. India was
very much a socialist
country in the 1970’s.
Its tight regulations and
little room for economic
reform caused economic
growth to creep up at a
steady pace of three and
a half percent a year
- leading to extreme
poverty.
Indian Prime Minister
Narenda Modi’s cash ban,
enacted on Nov. 8, sought
out to erode corruption.
According
to
The
Reserve Bank of India,
PricewaterhouseCoopers,
(TRBI,
PWC)
the
cash ban made 86.4
percent of India’s cash
worthless. TRBI, PWC
also
determined
that
98 percent of consumer
transactions
in
India
are
made
in
cash.
According to Bloomberg,
manufacturers have seen
jobs cut this year by 40
percent.
The
turmoil
has
led to finger pointing,
specifically
at
Modi,
who promised to bring
economic prosperity to
the financially desperate
lower class, but has
not yet come up with a
solution for the country.

Shah talks Trump immigration policy with law
students, challenges of unpredictable administration
From SHAH - 4
policies have caused
quite a conundrum for
immigration
lawyers
and defendants. Shah
explained how lawyers
already
have
enough
difficulty trying to solve
their cases under the laws
currently in place, so an
unpredictable
federal
administration
only
makes the task all the
more challenging.
“One long term effect
[of Trump’s new policies]
is, I think, the overarching
message
from
the
administration that chaos
is good,” said Shah.
One of the attendees
was
Suffolk
alumnae
Paula Bunszell and she
expressed her budding
interest in law, and how
the recent presidential
administration
has
affected her personally.
“It’s [Trump’s policy
changes causing a lot
of division with people.
The effects are particular
in marginalized groups,
but people can have
connections
to
those
groups,” said Bunszell.
“It’s driven me to become
more involved.”
Bunszell spoke about
how she has begun
participating
at
the
Catholic
Charities
of
Boston. The organization
sets out to provide
support, resources, and
other
social
services,
to needy communities
around
Massachusetts.
Particularly,
Bunszell
participates in a program
in which she, along with
others, assist immigrants
to find jobs, and adapt to
American life overall.
In the end, Shah
emphasized how the most
important way to help
those affected by Trump’s
recent policy changes is
to get involved in efforts
that combat these changes
as soon as possible.
“I think it’s about
picking an area where
you fit best in,” said Shah.
Aside from teaching
immigration law, Shah
assists at the law clinic
at Suffolk. The clinic,
offered as an elective
during the students last
two years at law school,
typically has a focus on
detained
defendants,
and
unaccompanied
minors.
As
opposed
to
representing
the
defendants
herself,
a
student acts as the main
attorney, and Shah’s task
is to supervise, as well as
remind students of any
resources they may need
for their cases.

ARTS & CULTURE
Fall Showcase
Suffolk students shine in Showcase ‘17
“
By Felicity Otterbein,
Arts & Culture Editor
Courtesy of Stratton McCrady
The students featured in
this year’s Fall Showcase
outdid themselves
in a passionate and
dedicated display of
talent.
With
the
Sullivan
Studio Theater acting
as a display case for
Suffolk theatre students
to prove their worthiness
of
performance,
the
latest installment of Fall
Showcase was nothing
short of spectacular.
This
year,
which
featured work by Suffolk
University’s
Xenia
Kamalova, Erica Wisor
and Ali Maynard, the
85-minute show covered
a broad range of topics.
From the historic and
mind-numbing art heist
at the Isabella Stewart
Gardner Museum to a
satirical
approach
of
discussing a potential
precursor
to
the
development
of
hell.
The students featured in
this year’s Fall Showcase
outdid themselves in a
passionate and dedicated
display of talent.
The night began with
“Heist,” by senior theater
major Erica Wisor with
a
critical approach to
the Whodunit case of
stolen artwork from the
Isabella Stewart Gardner
museum. Comprised of
just nine students, the
play
followed
federal
agent
Harold,
played
by sophomore theatre
major Ryan Stack, and
his
involvement
with
the local police officers
working not-so-diligently
to solve the seemingly
cold case.
In
an
interesting
juxtaposition of past and
present, Director Wisor
did an excellent job to
portray
the
urgency
shown by Harold and
Madame Gardner herself,
played by junior theatre
major Helen Brind’Amour.
In a particularly dramatic
scene
which
showed
Gardner placing the future
of her life’s work into
her husbands hands and
bursting into hysterics
at the thought of her
collection being disturbed
in any way. Wisor then
showed Harold also in
a fit of hysterics in his
quest to bring justice to
the famed collector.
Complete with a jazz
ensemble and a backdrop
with
empty
picture
frames, the cast was able
to effectively portray the
urgency that comes with
finishing a job and being
proud of your work.
Followed by a quick
scene change, the next
production was “Welcome
to Hell,” written by senior
theater
major
Xenia
Kamalova and co-directed
by senior musical theater
major
Kane
Harper.
Opening with two men
dressed
in
pristine
white suits and labeled
as “demons,” the pair
are seen administering
eternal
punishments
to those permanently
damned to what appears
to be the catholic view of
hell.
The
pair
banter
about what mundane
punishments the damned
should
serve
when
another man joins them
onstage, dressed in all
black and labeled “angel.”
Inquiring
about
how
to work for Satan, the
angel is astonished at the
acts of the two demons,
named
Michael
and
Gabriel, and claims their
punishments aren’t harsh
enough. When faced with
Satan himself, portrayed
Courtesy of Stratton McCrady
Julianna Fielding as Satan flanked by
demons Ma’Chel martin Jr. (left) and Ricky
Norton (right) in “Welcome to Hell.”
perfectly by a stone-faced
and sarcastic Julianna
Fielding, the leader of hell
allows the fallen angel to
prove himself by creating
harsher
punishments
and earning the name
“Lucifer.”
Complete
with
everyday acts deemed
as
sins
by
newly
appointed Lucifer, he
creates punishments for
homosexuality,
greed
and the like. Only when
Michael,
Gabriel
and
Satan reveal their true
identities as archangels
sent from heaven and God
“herself,” to test Lucifer,
is when the trio preserve
Lucifer in his own eternal
damnation in a block of
ice. A hysterical approach
to many heavily discussed
topics today, “Welcome
to Hell” was a sensational
look at gender roles, social
constructs and forces an
almost immediate inward
reflection.
In the third and final
play, “Bigfoot,” written
and directed by Ali
Maynard, a group of four
botanists
conducting
research at the base of
a mountain have their
friendship
boundaries
tested when something
goes bump in the night.
Perhaps
the
most
physically complex play
in terms of set design,
the play itself was the
most simple in terms
of
cast
numbers.
A
critical approach to the
flight or fight notion
when faced with fear,
the
four-person
cast
showed how seemingly
strong
relational
ties
are put to the test when
lives are endangered.
The talent displayed by
the four cast members,
sophomore theatre major
Mickey Rodgers, junior
theatre
major
Alice
Byrne, sophomore theatre
majors Nicholas Cenci and
Ian Hussey, was beyond
compare.
Pushed to the brink
of their own personal
talents with long-winded
monologues
and
by
transforming into their
respective
characters,
the audience was drawn
into the hysterics and
dramatics emitted by
the cast members, truly
making the idea of
“Bigfoot,” believable. The
final production of the
evening was well cast and
acted as the pinnacle of
craft and performance,
and was the ideal way to
end an evening filled with
artistic excellence.

A
Takashi Murakami
brings japanese art and culture to boston
By Chris DeGusto, News Editor
Chris DeGusto / News Editor
Usually a quiet and
serene
setting,
the
Museum of Fine Arts
(MFA) was anything but
traditional
on
Friday
night, as Boston’s bestknown
epicenter
for
creativity
hosted
an
enthralling
installation
to its “MFA Late Nite”
seasonal series.
Crowds flocked to the
historic building as the
doors opened to make way
for a plethora of diverse
scenes
materializing
within. A new gallery’s
opening, called “Takashi
Murakami: Lineage of
Eccentrics” along with
the Art of Asia gallery
and Linde Family Wing
for Contemporary Art
complimented live music,
food tastings and even a
rap slam.
Those in attendance
were able to travel
throughout the museum
and
outside
to
the
Shapiro Family Courtyard,
where it seemed as if the
paintings and sculptures
were the only beings
lacking
activity
and
mobility.
“Especially
in
the
world we live in today,
we need these type of
activities- things that
will keep people happyand obviously a lot of
people needed it,” said
Executive Producer of
Boston International Film
Festival Patrick Jerome
in an interview with
The Suffolk Journal. “It's
good to see things like
this happening. I'm an
artist myself, so I feel
it's a great thing that we
have the arts in the world
because it can only bring
peace.”
This “Late Nite” event
brought out those who
are veterans to what the
MFA has to offer, as well
as some who have never
been to popular museum.
Early in the night,
poets
and
musical
artists displayed their
talents during a rap
slam.
Surrounded
by
friends, fellow artists and
intrigued patrons, rappers
took turns performing in
front of a live audience
that held a small group
who had been elected to
judge the competition.
One participant, Sam
Dapper, a 22-year-old
who
graduated
from
Boston
University
in
the
spring o f 2 0 1 7
with
a
degree
in
economics, said in an
interview
with
The
Journal that he felt
disconnected, that he had
chosen the wrong major.
He said that he was
losing himself as he was
going through his college
years, so he turned to his
passion.
“I was at a point in
my life where I felt I
could conquer anything
and everything I put
my mind to, so I started
making beats right before
I studied abroad,” said
Dapper. “I started making
music my junior year
of college. I traveled
to Australia, ended up
making beats there, I
came back then went to
London. I've had a lot of
inspirations as I've going
through
my
musical
journey.”
Dapper said he has
been inspired by hip-hop
artist Russ, and after he
saw Russ make a name
for himself, he thought
“why not me?”
Katie Getchell, the
deputy director and chief
brand officer of the MFA
was extremely pleased
with the turnout and
atmosphere of
the
night.
Chris DeGusto / News Editor
“We are thrilled with
the partners who have
participated, all the artists
and all the creatives who
have come to perform
[and] to show off Boston's
creative cultural side,”
said
Getchell.
“[The
MFA is] unique in being
a multicultural, multisensory campus. We have
contemporary art. We have
historical art, eastern,
western,
art
making,
food shopping, dancing,
indoor [and] outdoor. We
have everything on our
campus and we're thrilled
to bring it alive in a
different way on a night
like this.”
One cheerful and lively
attendee, Jake Murtaugh,
has frequented the MFA.
The ability to meet

experience

Weinstein’s assault history, Hollywood’s loudest
secret, has now been exposed, as harrowing tales
emerge from a plethora of women who he
sexually abused over the course of decades.
--Now, their voices are being heard and
supported by women across the
US.

and darkly sad.”
If so many in Hollywood claim to have known all
along what he was up to, how is it then that it
has taken so long for his misconduct to come
to light? How many people in the industry
knew, and did nothing?
How many assaults could have
been prevented if someone had
stood up and said something?
In response to The New
York
Times
investigation
that exposed Weinstein, he
sent them a statement that
began, “I came of age in
the 60s and 70s, when all
the rules about behavior
and workplaces were
different. That was the
culture then. I have
since learned it’s not an
excuse, in the office - or
out of it. To anyone.”
This is infuriating
because sexual assault
and
harassment
was
never acceptable, yet he
tried to excuse it as okay
because that “was” the
culture back then.
No.
At no point in history was
it okay because ‘everyone was
doing it,’ and to claim otherwise
is a severe disservice to any woman
who has experienced sexual harassment
and assault, at any point in history.
Although Hollywood is slowly but surely
moving toward holding actors and actresses
accountable for their actions, there are still
dangerous attitudes that persist within the industry
that hinder progress.
After allegations against Weinstein emerged,
fashion designer Donna Karan said, “How do we
display ourselves, how do we present ourselves as
women? What are we asking? Are we asking for it?
It’s not Harvey Weinstein, you look at everything all
over the world today you know and how women are
dressing and you know what they’re asking by just
presenting themselves the way they do.”
To imply that dressing a certain way warrants
unwanted sexual advancements from men is an
argument that has plagued sexual assault victims for
decades.
Karan later retracted her comments and apologized
for her statement.
Hollywood has known for decades that it has an
issue with sexual abuse within the industry, yet have
continued to ignore it.
If Hollywood wants to prove that it really is going
to address these issues, it should be the ones on
the frontlines demanding people like Bill Cosby and
Roman Polanski be held accountable.
Actors such as Casey Affleck shouldn’t be able to
pay their way out of sexual abuse allegations he did in
2010, when sexual assault charges were made against
him.
As more and more women rise to power in
Hollywood, the future for women’s rights becomes
brighter.
However, if we want to see real change, we as a
nation, celebrities and all, need to decide that we are
not okay with sexual abuse, starting by not electing
a president with an audio tape boasting of his own
sexual assaults on women, arguing that just because
when you’re famous, you can get away with it.
Accountability is the only way we are going to see
the change that so many victims of abuse deserve.
HARVEY WEINSTEIN:
his past week proved to be great for women’s
causes, but a bad one if your name is Harvey
Weinstein.
Hollywood producer and professional
serial sexual harasser Harvey Weinstein had multiple
women come forward over the past few weeks with
allegations of sexual harassment, assault and at least
four women claim he raped them.
The allegations span decades, with countless
women speaking out against him.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
54-member board of governors held an emergency
meeting on Saturday morning in which they voted to
remove Weinstein from the organization’s ranks.
They released a statement following their decision
that said, “We do so not simply to separate ourselves
from someone who does not merit the respect of his
colleagues but also to send a message that the era of
willful ignorance and shameful complicity in sexually
predatory behavior and workplace harassment in our
industry is over.”
While this may seem like a win for Hollywood
actresses, as well as women everywhere, there are
some serious controversial issues that continue to be
brought up in the wake of these allegations against
Weinstein.
Perhaps the most concerning is that nobody
seems surprised to learn what Weinstein was doing
throughout his career.
Actress Glenn Close said in a statement to The New
York Times that, “for many years, I have been aware
of the vague rumors that Harvey Weinstein had a
pattern of behaving inappropriately around women.
Harvey has always been decent to me, but now
that the rumors are being substantiated, I feel angry

Church
versus State:
Trump
removes
coverage of
birth control
under ACA
Juliana Tuozzola
Journal Contributor
Through
history,
women have had to fight
for their rights. More
often than not, they have
had to challenge men
who do not see them as
equals.
On Friday, Oct. 6
President Donald Trump’s
cabinet
repealed
an
Affordable
Care
Act
(ACA) mandate that had
required
employer’s
insurance plans to provide
birth control coverage to
employees.
This federal mandate
that former President
Barack Obama set in
2011 has provided “more
than 62 million American
women” with birth control
coverage according to
Planned
Parenthood.
With
the
weakening
of the ACA directive in
immediate effect, women
can lose their health
insurance coverage for
birth control if their
employers decide to opt
out of coverage based on
religious freedom.
The argument that
an employer’s religion
can be a deciding factor
on whether or not an
employee has birth control
coverage is an argument
that delves straight into
the protections granted
by the first amendment.
This
is
a
direct
violation of the separation
of church and state, which
our country was founded
on.
One’s
religious
freedom should never
interfere with another’s
reproductive life.
The recent repeal on
birth control coverage is
simply unconstitutional
and goes against the
rights stated in the
first amendment, which
should be honored in all
aspects of American life

Editor’s Word
What Suffolk needs next
As the historically diverse
institution of Suffolk University
heads into its next phase of a
potential presidential turnover,
it is clear that the next face of the
college’s top office must be ready
to stand for all students within its
walls.
Suffolk prides itself in holding an
international student population
at 23 percent and we must prove
that these diverse individuals at
the university matter, starting with
our president.
Acting President Marisa Kelly
has championed the defense
mechanism to stand up against
those looking to further a divide
in the political climate today.
Among immigrant rights, DACA,
the travel ban, affirmative action,
Title IX and research funding,
President Donald Trump’s cabinet
has equipped themselves to scratch
each legislative point that Suffolk,
itself, has invested in and keeps
vital to the operation of this
institution.
Since Trump took office in
Washington, executive orders
have poured out of the Oval Office
that could potentially break what
makes this university tick. Kelly,
however, has shot back each
time, where she has challenged
the executive branch by standing
with programs and means to keep
those around her in line with the
university’s mission statement.
We ask that the search firm,
AGB Search, as well as the
Committee, look closely into
how candidates would continue
standing for students, and only
Suffolk students, from both the
local and national political levels.

O
Political clubs should be more involved on
campus to accurately represent Suffolk students
Andrés Rodriguez
Journal Contributor
Now
more
than
ever, there is a constant
pressure
on
how
political clubs operate
on university campuses
across America.
At Suffolk University,
there are two major
political party clubs: the
Suffolk Democrats and
the Republican Club.
It could be thought
that these two clubs
would
disagree
on
opinions and constantly
debate
about
ethics,
but these conversations
have yet to take place.
It should be one of the
main goals of these
clubs to exchange ideas,
hold debates and most
importantly, contribute to
the increased bipartisan
behavior on campus.
After talking with both
of these organizations,
neither of them have had
a plan to have debates
with one another. This
lack of discourse is
dangerous on both sides
of politics and it can lead
to the assumption of
others opinions and draw
a line within our own
campus.
Suffolk’s mission seems
to have been to empower
our diverse community
through engaged learning
and innovative thinking,
and now is the time for
our two political party
groups on campus to do
the same.
Matthew
Cubetus,
the president of the
Suffolk Democrats, talked
about his plans for the
upcoming academic year
in an interview with
The
Suffolk
Journal.
Cubetus wanted to focus
on
teaching
politics,
participate
in
service
activities as a club, have
discussions
on
different
ideas and
year. Similar to a safe
zone, he has created a
place where Republicans
can speak freely without
judgment and he is most
worried about having
consistent members.
Most
students
attending the university
today seem lean left
and this has placed the
Republican Club at a
disadvantage on campus.
The Trump administration
has had their fair share
of
allegations
of
white
“This lack of
discourse is dangerous
on both sides of politics and
it can lead to the assumption
of others opinions and draw
a line within our own
campus.”
opinions
to create a
group of members
where they feel free to
share
whatever
they
want. The vice president
of the Republican Club,
Dan Pelosi, had similar
intentions
for
this
upcoming year, but what
sets them apart is what
kind of climate they are
in.
Pelosi
emphasized
that the sense of family
within the club is the
most important aspect of
his agenda for the school
supremacy,
r a c i s m ,
corruption, as well as
other hateful rhetoric’s.
However, it would not be
fair to carry that label to
the Republicans on our
campus.
A
former
member
of the Republican Club,
who decided to stay
anonymous said, “My
perception for the goal
of the Republican Club
has never been to change
or influence the political
climate
on
campus.
Republicans are in the
minority and when you
are a Republican on
Suffolk’s campus and you
go to class, you very much
feel like you can’t have
the opinions you have,
you can’t say the things
you want to say without
being judged.”
Even
though
Republicans seem to be
a minority on campus
that does not mean that
they should not speak up.
It is for that very reason
why
the
Republican
Club should raise their
voice and stand up
proudly for what they
believe. Whether or not
what they believe in is
morally correct is up for
discussion in the moment,
not behind closed doors
where the opponents do
not have a say.
Ideally there should
not be a student on this
campus who is afraid to
share their ideals in the
classroom, but that does
not guarantee an idea to
be accepted. There needs
to be discussion on both
sides of the spectrum to
not only show different
opinions but to create
a learning environment
where ideas can be
interchanged on campus.

Discrimination in the form of ‘religious freedom’
Limiting birth control restrains women’s rights
From ACA - 9
and society.
The
Trump
administration
justifies
the repeal by stating,
“Imposing such a coverage
mandate ... could, among
some populations, affect
risky sexual behavior in a
negative way.”
The
justification
the administration has
released to the world
is followed by not one
single piece of factual
evidence— this assertion
was made purely out of
opinion and religious
bias.
In fact, there is no
way of proving that birth
control coverage leads to
“risky sexual behavior”
because it is unethical
to conduct a causationproving experiment on
birth control.
What can be proven
is that nine out of ten
women of reproductive
age will use birth control
in their lifetime, according
to Planned Parenthood.
The
Trump
administration’s rollback
on
mandated
birth
control coverage is not
solely an attack on risky
sexual behaviors, as they
had justified it to be.
It is on healthcare, on
women’s sexuality, an
attack on individuals with
low incomes and on all
people who identify as a
woman.
This ideology adheres
to
some
religious
standards on sex and
the use of birth control
and
contraceptives.
Now, with the repeal
of the birth control
coverage, an employer’s
religious ties can have
an overwhelmingly large
impact on a female
employee’s
personal,
reproductive life.
It is crucial to note
that birth control is a
healthcare necessity for
some women.
Not only is it effective
at preventing pregnancy,
but it is also prescribed
to women who suffer
from health conditions
such as polycystic ovary
syndrome,
chronic
acne, ovarian cysts and
endometriosis, to name a
few.
The power that an
employer now possesses
over
their
female
employee’s reproductive
life eliminates the power
a woman essentially has
over her own body, her
choices, her health, her
freedom and her life.
The fear the Trump
administration
fosters
and those who share the
same ideology is clear—
it is the fear of women
having control and power
over their own lives.
This fear can be rooted
from many aspects of
life such as one’s social
environment, upbringing,
or even influences from
the media.
The
opposition
of
sex
before
marriage,
pregnancy out of wedlock
and the condemnation of
birth control all reflect
that of a specific religion’s
standards and morals.
One’s practicing of
religious or moral values
within their individual
life is their right and
decision protected by our
first amendment.
Therefore, a woman’s
decision
over
her
healthcare
and
birth
control
within
her
individual life should
always be her right
and decision, not her
employer’s.

Rams run the extra mile
S
Men’s ice hockey competes to help cross-country team
Brooke Patterson
Sports Editor
Suffolk
University’s
men’s
cross-country
team had a small roster
this season, but seven
Rams, who are normally
found lacing up their
skates, decided to run the
distance.
Head
cross-country
coach, Will Feldman, had
multiple player injuries
this season that allowed
his roster to dwindle,
but was able to compete
in the Great Northeast
Athletic
Conference
(GNAC) with the help of
fellow Rams. Over the
course of three meets,
Feldman welcomed seven
players from the men’s ice
hockey team to his roster.
Entering
his
14th
season as Suffolk’s men’s
ice hockey coach, Chris
Glionna did not require
his team to participate in
cross-country, but rather,
the Rams volunteered. He
compared informing his
players of the opportunity
to compete with the crosscountry team to hearing
about
an
internship
or interview. Glionna
explained how when he
heard about a chance to
be involved, he ensured
that he advised his team
about it.
“When the opportunity
to run became available,
[the
hockey
coaches]
told the players as soon
as possible,” said coach
Glionna in a recent
interview
with
The
Suffolk Journal. “It is
very important to the
Suffolk hockey team to be
involved in many aspects
of the university.”
Sophomore
hockey
defensemen Bryan Etter
was one of the seven
Rams to join the crosscountry team this season.
Etter ran in his first-ever
5k on Sept. 16, when
the
team
competed
in the University of
Massachusetts Dartmouth
Invitational. Etter finished
with a time of 42:07,
which was identical to
teammate David Lappin, a
an interview with The
Journal.
Ice hockey and crosscountry are both varsity
sports at the university,
but
both
condemn
different training styles.
Etter explained how ice
hockey is more sprints
“I believe playing
multiple sports is very
important in an athlete’s
development.”
- Chris Glionna,
men’s ice hockey head coach
forward on the men’s ice
hockey team.
“It was a lot further
than I thought it was
going to be and I wasn’t
really ready for it, but
it was a fun experience
for sure,” said Etter in
whereas
cross-country
relies on pacing for
distance while having
a
strong
endurance.
Although ice hockey is
more of an obsession and
lifestyle for Etter, he said
if he was asked to run for
the cross-country team
again he would.
“The
cross-country
team has a good group of
people there so it was fun
to be around, not just for
the race part, but for the
whole meet itself,” said
Etter.
Cross-country
is
deemed as an individual
sport because an athlete
is running on his or her
own
throughout
the
course, whereas playing
ice hockey is more team
orientated in the sense
that every member on the
ice needs one another.
Although the two are
different sports, forward
Brian Patterson, who also
participated in the crosscountry race, explained
that they do have some
similarities.
“The motivation before
and
congratulations
after [a meet] is very
similar to how hockey
goes,” said Patterson in a
recent interview with The
Journal.
Most of the members
of the ice hockey team
never had the intention of
playing another collegiate
sport, but when the
opportunity
presented
itself the Rams stepped
up to help their university
and fellow athletes.
“I
believe
playing
multiple sports is very
important in an athlete's
development,”
said
Glionna. “Just because
they are at college doesn't
mean we are stopping the
development.”
The
men’s
crosscountry team looks to
compete in their final
race of the season at the
GNAC Championship in
Bristol, Rhode Island on
Oct. 28.

The men’s team did
not have as successful of a
day, falling 5-2 to Norwich

Jack O’Connor.
After the loss, Suffolk
fell to 6-6-1 overall on

Norwich proved costly
as they dropped to

both men’s and women's
soccer competed.

mother of sophomore
Julia Fieldsend on the
Lady Rams, said this was
her first time ever coming
to a game. Fieldsend
explained how she was
excited to see what Ram
Fan Fest was like, and
said she was having a
great time.
Steve Casey, father
of junior Jordan Casey,
explained how he has not
missed a game in the past
three seasons that his son
has been on the team. As
an experienced fan, Casey
has seen his fair share of
Ram Fan Fests.
“I think [Rams Fan
Fest] is great, it’s great
they do something for
the fans,” said Casey in a
recent interview with The
Journal. “It’s unfortunate
that we’re a little bit
outside the city and we
can’t draw more fans.”
Casey also provided a
critique to the program.
“For this event, they
should
do
something
for the players. The kids
aren’t going to eat pizza
and soda before a game,”
said Casey.
Although
the
day
ended with a tough loss
for the Rams, the event
was still a large success.

did not put a damper
on festivities for Suffolk

Martin scored four of the
team’s five goals in the
game, including two in
spectacular fashion.
“Senior day was an
extremely special day,”
explained Martin in a

“My performance and
the team’s performance
made that day even more
special and memorable.”
Martin included that

On
Saturday,
despite heavy rain to
begin the day, the affair
was off and running.
The day began with
food, drinks and a balloon
man. Before the game,
the Lady Rams celebrated
the team’s seniors. In
total, the team had six to
its name, including cocaptains Jennifer Martin
and Alexandra Nagri.
The match started
off on a strong note,
as the Lady Rams
dominated
R i v i e r

5-0.
Ironically enough, on
a day for celebrating the
seniors, the only players
to score for the Lady Rams
were seniors. Captain Jen

Heathco wanted to

“These senseless acts
were brought on by
the very values that
seeks to eliminate
diversity and oppress
those who are not
white. This oppression
manifests in the news,
by glorifying white

Suffolk may find itself with a new and permanent president in
the near future, as the university opened up a position profile and
corresponding application for the top office, on Thursday.
After multiple years of practically playing musical chairs for the
high seat, Suffolk’s at-the-time Provost Marisa Kelly was appointed
to become an acting president in the summer of 2016 while the
university began an international search process.
In a statement sent out university-wide on Thursday, Suffolk,
who has been partnered with the search firm AGB Search,
announced that candidates can apply for the position of Suffolk’s
President through Nov. 20.
“After that date, AGB Search will evaluate and assess applicants,
with the goal of having a first list of candidates for initial
consideration by the search committee in early December,” said the
statement.
With a date set in which applicants can put forth their names
for consideration, and an initial time frame of when deliberation
upon who will take the office of president in place, some members
of the university community are awaiting the impending changes.
“I am looking forward to the results of the presidential search.
I have certainly been involved in the university for a long time,”
said Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Advertising,
Public Relations, and Social Media Robert Rosenthal in a recent
interview with The Suffolk Journal. “I think that we will get some

Suffolk feels natural
disaster responses
are inadequate
By Matt Geer, Journal Contributor
Recently, a series of cataclysmic
storms have tormented areas in the
Southern Atlantic. Houston and other
lower parts of the United States, along
with Puerto Rico, have gotten the worst
of it.
Both Hurricanes Harvey and Maria
had alarming effects on the lives of
these U.S. citizens. It is estimated that
the recovery efforts and aid for these
battered regions will cost billions of
dollars, and there is currently no time
table for this process.
Suffolk University’s Carmen Veloria,
an Associate Professor in the Department
of Sociology, recently put together a
short presentation entitled “Framing
Hurricane Maria.” This was meant to
spark the conversation amongst a small
group made up of some students and
faculty of how people are reacting to
these catastrophes.
In attendance were professor Roberto
Dominguez and Associate professor

Suffolk students, alum etch their own
political campaign journeys

These Suffolk students are out on the path of attaining political office. As challenges arise, these alumni
and students have persevered on, hopeful to make a positive change in their communities.

Derenoncourt confident to
win first position in office
Alum forced to postpone
plan for office
Jean Bradley Derenoncourt graduated this
past May with a degree in government and
around 400 signatures to get his name on
the ballot for City Councilor-at-Large for
Brockton, Massachusetts.
Recently, he has been spending his time
going to events for the campaign brought on
by the city, knocking on doors and talking to
potential voters in any way he can to gain
support. He has been doing this all while
working as Director of Constituent Services
for Massachusetts State Senator Michael D.
Brady and serving on the Board of Library
Trustees in the Brockton Public Library.
Derenoncourt’s team consists of his
former professor at Massasoit College, Jared
Gilpatrick, who has taken on the role of
managing his campaign, as well as others
filling advisory positions. The team has been
able to raise more than $20,000 dollars to
use in his campaign for one of the four
available positions against the other seven
who are also running City Councilor-atLarge for Brockton. He has endorsements
from state senators, such as Linda Dorcena
Forry, and has numerous volunteers helping
him with his campaign.
“There is this one thing my dad taught
me: as long as you know you mean well
[in] your heart, then you shouldn’t worry
about anything anyone is saying,” said
Derenoncourt in a recent interview with
The Suffolk Journal. “I don’t care if someone
doesn’t like me, but I will do my best to
improve myself to be a better person.”
Being able to give back to the community
that brought him in when he emigrated from
Haiti is what Derenoncourt hopes to do in
this position. His hope to improve on public
education is on the top of his priorities for
the city of Brockton.
“I’m hoping to be one of the four people
that will be voted in and I have no doubt
that I will be one of them. [On] Nov. 7 I’m
going to win this race,” said Derenoncourt.
“They have never had a Haitian American
elected official, so if I [am] I’ll be the first
one to be elected, not just in Brockton, but
in the entire state.”
After not receiving enough votes
to qualify, former Suffolk University
government major Justin Murad was unable
to make the ballot on May 23 in his efforts
of running for City Councilor-at-large for
District five of Boston.
Each candidate who intended to run for
a position needed a total of 250 signatures
from registered voters within the candidate’s
proposed district. This amount of 250
signatures was a compulsory requirement by
May 23; a target date Murad did not attain.
The most significant problem for Murad he
said in a recent interview with The Suffolk
Journal, was his approach in trying to obtain
signatures.
“Me and my group went around knocking
on doors and standing outside of grocery
stores, asking if they would sign my petition
to be on the ballot,” said Murad.
People were reluctant to give Murad their
signatures and Murad said he recognized
that the security of people’s ties to other
candidates in his community lead to his
defeat.
Said Murad of the loyalty people in his
community have felt to other candidates, “A
lot of other people were afraid that if they
were to sign it there would be some kind
of repercussion from the other person that
they were supporting.”
One of the biggest challenges Murad
faced is his most influential adversary,
Timothy McCarthy, who has been the City
Councilor-at-Large for district five of Boston
for 20 years.
“I guess the upper hand he had on me
was the fact that he’s the incumbent, he’s
well known [and] he’s older,” said Murad.
“It is harder to get your point across when
somebody who [has] been in the district for
so long, running the district for so long.”
Aside from his defeat, Murad still plans
to run against McCarthy in the 2019 election
cycle and hopes that his seat will be more
available during that time.

Libertarian candidate
Raccioppi takes stand
against Moulton
Running against current incumbent Seth
Moulton for the 6th Congressional District
of Massachusetts is Politics, Philosophy and
Economics major Samson Raccioppi.
He needs 2,000 signatures from voters
registered in the Libertarian party within
the district by February 2018. In a recent
interview with The Suffolk Journal, Raccioppi
said he is confident that by sharing his views
he will be able to get his name on the ballot
so constituents can vote by November 2018.
When he was 17, Raccioppi traveled
around the New England area to fix the
point of sale systems before starting his
own business in 2003. Two years later, after
he realized his business was not going to
succeed, he joined the army after the Sept.
11, 2001 attack. After he came back from his
deployment, Raccioppi kept a close ear to
international politics while returning to the
computer repair field.
Raccioppi was asked to be a speaker
for the Free Speech rally that occurred in
July, and volunteered to manage one of the
stages at the recent Boston Freedom Rally in
September 2017. He realized the potential of
getting his name out to the people by doing
these free, voluntary events so he can speak
of federal policies that affect the state.
“I’d like to find a way to reduce the
influence of the federal government within
the state of Massachusetts, while maintaining
a balanced budget,” said Raccioppi in a
recent interview with The Journal.
Raccioppi spoke of how his views contrast
the current Representative of the 6th district
Seth Moulton, who is a combat veteran, as
well as Carlos Hernandez, the Republican
candidate also vying for the position.
“People are coming here for a reason
from these countries. What is causing the
demand? We’re the supplier of a place to
go,” said Raccioppi. “For me to flee my area,
it would have to be bad. So what is causing
- and I’m not trying to be pejorative - their
lives to be so bad for them to leave their
homes and come to a place that’s hostile to
them.”

What’s next for ‘dreamers’
Maggie Randall
D.C. Correspondent
The Deferred Action
for Childhood Arrivals
(DACA) policy will be
rescinded in six months,
according to a Sept. 5
announcement
from
President Donald Trump’s
administration.
DACA was created
by former Secretary of
Homeland Security Janet
Napolitano, during former
President Barack Obama’s
administration, to provide
work authorization and
temporary relief from
immigration action. On
Sept. 22, during a panel
at the Brookings Institute,
Napolitano explained that
“DACA is an exercise of
prosecutorial selection.”
When
Obama
announced the DACA
policy through executive
order in June 2012, he
said that DACA recipients
“are Americans in their
heart, in their minds, in
every single way but one:
on paper.”
In March of this year,
a Suffolk University and
USA Today poll showed
that
63
percent
of
registered voters believe
Trump should protect
Dreamers,
individuals
who were undocumented
minors when they entered
the United States, from
being deported.
More
recently,
according to a Politico
and Morning Consult
poll conducted in early
September, 60 percent
of voters who “strongly
approve” of Trump, want
Dreamers to be able to
stay in the United States.
State leaders have
been at the forefront of
protecting
immigrants’
rights.
Massachusetts
Attorney General Maura
Healey spoke out against
the
rescission
in
a
complaint filed on Sept.
6.
“Dreamers
are
Americans.
They
go
to our schools, serve
in our military, work
and start businesses in
our communities,” said
Healey.
Healey is one of several
other attorneys general
who have led the charge
in protecting immigrants’
rights. Just a day after
Trump
announced
that he would rescind
DACA, 16 states filed a
complaint challenging the
rescission. The case, New
York v Trump, challenged
the legality of Trump’s
decision to rescind the
policy.
According
to
U.S.
Citizenship
and
Immigration
Services
data
from
the
end
of March, there are
nearly 19,000 eligible
DACA recipients living,
working, and learning in
Massachusetts.
Politico
reported
that 7,800 of these
DACA recipients live in
the Boston area. The
Cambridge City Council
unanimously passed an
ordinance in early October
that would “create a fund
that would reimburse
DACA application costs
for Cambridge residents.”
The rescission has
prompted Congress to
act in protecting these
more than 800,000 young
people. Since 2001, there
have
been
bipartisan

Rally in front of the U.S. capital during the last day to reregister for DACA earlier this month.
efforts in nearly every
Congress toward passing
the Development, Relief,
and Education for Alien
Minors (DREAM) Act.
Senators Dick Durbin
(D-IL) and Graham Cassidy
(R-SC), have sponsored
the DREAM Act (S.1615)
again this past summer
in response to Trump’s
rhetoric threatening to
end the program.
There
has
been
little action on the bill
since July. Even so, it
is likely there will be
more bipartisan effort to
finally get the DREAM Act
passed before March 5,
when DACA is expected to
end, according to a White
House press release.
While DACA is not a
legal status, the DREAM
Act
provides
lawful
permanent residence on
a path to citizenship for
Dreamers.
Doris Meissner, the
former Commissioner of
the U.S. Immigration and
Naturalization
Service,
believes the employment
authorization
is
the
greatest
achievement
of DACA. California, for
example, has the sixth
largest economy in the
world, and the largest
share of DACA recipients.
Meissner believes the
rescission could have
serious effects on their
economy.
Carlos Guevara is the
senior policy advisor at
UnidosUS; an advocacy
group focused on social
issues facing Latinos.
He pointed out that the
Trump Administration’s
actions are essentially
a betrayal to thousands
of individuals who were
uncertain to come forward
to announce their legal
status, but trusted in the
federal government.
Following
Trump’s
announcement to rescind
DACA, Obama released
a statement expressing
similar sentiments on
how the rescission breaks
trust formed between
the federal government
and
the
immigrant
community.
“Let’s be clear: the
action taken today isn’t
required legally. It’s a
THE Suffolk Journal
political decision, and a
moral question. Whatever
concerns or complaints
Americans
may
have
about immigration in
general, we shouldn’t
threaten the future of this
group of young people
who are here through no
fault of their own, who
pose no threat, who are
not taking away anything
from the rest of us,”
said President Obama.
“Kicking them out won’t
lower the unemployment
rate, or lighten anyone’s
taxes, or raise anybody’s
wages.”

Recent hurricanes stir up Suffolk
From DISASTER
page 1
Amy Agigian, who spoke
alongside Veloria. All
three of them spoke
their mind during this
presentation
on
the
damage Hurricane Maria
has caused and how
the United States have
reacted as a whole.
Their consensus was
that the U.S. Government,
under President Donald
Trump, simply hasn’t done
enough. Both Veloria and
Agigian discussed how
inactivity in these times
can shape the mind of the
people today.
“It happened in a
different place, [so it’s] not
our responsibility.” said
Veloria hypothetically.
Veloria’s
reference
spoke to the mindset that
some people have; if an
issue is not of direct effect
to someone, then they
need not to be concerned
on the matter.
Veloira also discussed
over the course of her
entire
presentation
how these issues are as
crucial politically as they
are naturally. Citizens
response and desire to
help is key in the recovery
process, as agreed upon
by almost everyone that
spoke.
“Framing,” the main
theme of the presentation,
is how people conceive
these disasters and the
root causes of these
tropical storms. Framing
is the way people see the
world, often alternative
to other ways of thinking
in different areas. Agigian
stated that as people, it is
inappropriate to deny the
role citizens have in the
creation of these storms
and
the
problematic
aftermath
of
them.
Veloria did not hesitate to
agree with this.
“Scientific data isn’t
making
a
compelling
enough argument,” said
Veloria. “It is visible in
the way we act in times
like this.”
One of the main points
made by the speakers is
that the U.S. has reacted
so poorly because a lot
of people have a similar
mentality in their line
of thinking-- that people
shouldn’t react at all.
Veloria, along with her
fellow speakers addressed
how Trump and his
administration’s rhetoric
has been to hold back,
because those affected
are seen as a financial
liability, even though they
are U.S. citizens.
The engagement of
Suffolk students in these
relief efforts was another
topic indirectly brought
up during the discussion.
Students
gathered
together to discuss these
issues.
Elie Crief, a senior
international student from
France, discussed how the
lack of acknowledgement
at the government level
can be mimicked among
students.
“There needs to be
a movement people are
aware of,” said Crief in a
recent interview with The
Suffolk Journal.
Crief
said
how
important it is that
students band together
to grasp the importance
of our reactions to these
natural
phenomenons.
Crief also said that if
this ideal became more
fundamental,
dealing
with these catastrophes
both domestically and
internationally
would
become easier.

good candidates. We have
a very good search firm
that
understands
us,
which is important.”
Rosenthal, who has
been with the university
since 1983, was involved
with the accreditation
process
five
years
ago during the time
of
negative
publicity
centered around former
university president David
Sargent and the aftermath
of his departure. During
this accreditation process,
Rosenthal
focused
primarily on governance.
Rosenthal said that some
of the biggest qualities of
the next president that he
will look for, will to be
able to understand, to be
inclusive and willing to
listen to people prior to
making decisions.
The
university’s
position profile listed
online calls for a variety
of skills and qualities that
hope to draw worthy and
dedicated candidates.
The profile outlines
intent to seek candidates
with
“Understanding
of national and global
student
recruitment
methods, retention, and
enrollment management,”
the “Ability to identify,
increase, and diversify
revenue sources, with
generation
of
new
resources
through
vigorous
fundraising,”
and “Deep knowledge of
sound strategic planning
and clear decision making
based
upon
regional,
national
and
global
trends concerning the
challenges
of
higher
education,” among other
characteristics.
Listed among these
include past success on
implementing
diversity
throughout students and
administration as well as
the ability to channel the
vast network of Suffolk
alumni.
“There
are
three
things I am looking for:
[the
next
president]
should understand us and
who we are, they need to
understand what we have
gone through and our
mission,” said Rosenthal.
“Second, they have to be
able to raise money. The
third thing I am looking
for is that they have to
be a good communicator
and be the face of the
university to the public.”
N
Suffolk’s
recent
turbulent history at this
position has prompted
the need for stability and
lasting results, regardless
of any positive or negative
spotlight the collegiate
institution may have cast
upon itself.
“Steady,
bold,
thoughtful, and strategic
leadership is expected
from a president who
will
listen
carefully,
assess
fairly,
and
act
decisively,”
the
university’s Presidential
search website states.
“The president will be the
trusted voice and vision
of Suffolk University for
the long term.”
After
much
inconsistency
in
the
top office since 2010,
the search coming to a
seemingly near conclusion
can in effect lift a weight
off of the shoulders of
the university that has
suffered media backlash
and knocks upon its
reputation as a result of
the constant shuffling of
the seat of the president.

Women in Leadership alums
three years strong
Suffolk’s Women in Leadership alumnae network,
will host the third annual Professional Success
Expo in November. Cordelia Pisacane, a graduate
of the university in 2008, birthed the idea for an
alumnae network while still a student, drawing
20 people to its initial meeting. Today the
network has swelled to almost 200 members. The
mission of Women in Leadership is to advocate
for both undergraduate and graduate women,
and to instill a mindset of empowerment.
Pisacane, who chairs the alumnae network and
works for the Department of Veterans Affairs as
a service representative, has said, “It’s important
to actively engage in building the community
we want, which is why Women in Leadership
is creating opportunities for alumnae to come
back and interact, not only with students, but
also within their own community. Building a
small community within this larger Suffolk
family helps ensure our alumnae stay involved
and share their knowledge and advice.”
Trump scratches
Clean Power Plan
Business students helping
others to smell the coffee
On
Tuesday
President
Donald
Trump’s
administration enacted more change, with
the end of former President Barack Obama’s
environmental regulations. The “Clean Power
Plan,” which had a long term plan of changing
global temperature by limiting carbon emissions
from power plants that utilized coal. “Repealing
the Clean Power Plan is the right move for the
economy and for the rule of law. The Obama
administration’s signature climate rule was
a vast, unlawful expansion of government
authority into the energy sector with widereaching consequences for our economy,” said
House Speaker Paul Ryan in a recent statement.
In 2015, a co-run study by The Beacon Hill
Institute at Suffolk University and the MacIver
Institute concluded that the EPA’s proposed
Clean Power Plan would cost Wisconsin $920
million in 2030, and reduce disposable income
in the state by nearly $2 billion according to the
MacIver Institute themselves. “The study also
found that the CPP would have cost Wisconsin
21,000 jobs and increased the average household
electric bill by $225 per year and the average
commercial business electric bill by $1,530
per year,” according to a recent article by the
MacIver Institute.
Enlisting the help of Suffolk’s Sawyer
business school’s Customer Insights and
Decision Making course, local cafe George
Howell Coffee has sought the knowledge of
students in order to promote its brand and
educate people on their morning beverage
techniques. The coffee shop, which has three
locations, is looking to bolster its traffic with
some assistance from the up-and-coming
entrepreneurs of Suffolk. Professor Mujde
Yukel has said, “In the class, our research
process is quite extensive, with secondary data,
focus groups, and an extensive segmentation
survey.” George Howell Coffee has focused
on quality over quantity, and supports the
places in which they obtain their product
from, naming their beverages after the local
farms. In September, students of Yukel’s class
attending an event at the coffee shop to learn
their unique cupping, a tasting process that
guides buying decisions, training baristas and
educating drinkers. The marketing class has
strategized in order to develop a complete
marketing plan, which will be presented in

Refugee crisis hits global scale
Ethnic violence: an ongoing issue
Amy Koczera
Asst. World News
Editor
In the United States,
stories of violence, racism
and police brutality
regularly flood
the
news.
A l t h o u g h
mainstream
media often
focuses
on
racism within
the U.S., there is
a tremendous
a m o u n t
of
ethnic
v i o l e n c e
o c c u r r i n g
overseas
that
many
Americans
often
overlook. While it is
crucial to be aware of the
inhumanity within the
country, it is essential
for all U.S. citizens to
be cognizant of the
racist and tyrannical acts
outside the U.S.
As of 2016, geopolitical
conflicts, ethnic tensions
and natural disasters have
forcibly displaced 65.6
million people worldwide,
according to the United
Nations Refugee Agency
(UNHCR).
Additionally,
there are 22.5 million
refugees,
10
million
stateless
people,
and
189,300 settled refugees
according to UNHCR.
“[The refugee crises]
raise
all
kinds
of
problems,” said Suffolk
University
philosophy
lecturer
Brian
Smith
in an interview with
The
Suffolk
Journal.
“Globally, there’s a sense
of helplessness and not
knowing what to do.”
Smith explained that
refugee crises typically
lead to violence in
developed
nations
because the countries
in crisis often do not
have the resources to
accommodate
large
masses of people coming
to the nation at once.
Ultimately, the fact that
refugee crises caused
increased displacement is
not a new concept.
“It’s such a common
thing,” said Smith. “It’s
actually harder to find
examples where ethnic
violence doesn’t occur.”
The Syrian Civil War,
which started because
of political differences,
forced more than 11
million people to lose
their homes and thus
started the Syrian refugee
crisis, according to the
Mercy Corps website.
Venezuela’s
economic
collapse
sparked the humanitarian
crisis pushed nearly two
million people out of
the nation, according to
CNN. Ukraine’s Donbass
Rebellion also initiated
the Ukrainian refugee
crisis where 1.35 million
Ukrainian citizens ended
up displaced, according
to the Aljazeera website.
“These things happen in
countries that have little
infrastructure to begin
with,” said Smith. “The
burden tends to fall on
neighboring countries.”
Since there is such a
high moral sentiment
to help people in need,
incentives
for
other
countries to intervene are
driven by specific criteria,
according to Smith.
Senior global business
and
global
market
major Kristin Abijaoude
explained her perspective
as a child of Maronite
Catholic
Lebanese
immigrants who settled
in the U.S. after the 1975
Lebanese Civil War.
“The
devastating
war affected everyone:
Christian,
Muslim,
Jewish, Druze, Lebanese,
Palestinian and Syrian,”
said Abijaoude. “There
is
still
tension
to
this day, even within
Lebanon, a country that
claims to overlook our
differences.”
Violence is often a
factor when there is a
new ethnic group of
people entering another
country with its own
cultural, political and
religious practices.
“The very fact that
the 1.5 million Syrian
refugees in Lebanon
aren’t
treated
with
humanity
contradicts
our
tolerance,”
said
Abijaoude. “For example,
they’re not given the
proper basic needs, such
as water and shelter.
They’re subjected to
strict curfew. Even the
Lebanese people want to
drive out the refugees,
even by violent means.”
Although the two
major religions in India
are Hinduism and
Islam, the two face the
most ethnic unrest with
each other. India shares
war-stricken
Muslim
dominated countries on
each side of its’ border,
one in particular being
Myanmar. This has been
a key player as to why
India faces a refugee
crisis today.
A story became widely
known after the Muslim
mob took action against
the 17-year old Hindu
boys’ action of posting
an offensive cartoon of
Prophet Muhammad on
Facebook.
In addition, Suffolk
University professor of
Asian Studies Ronald
Suleski explained an
event that occurred in
India between Hindus
and Muslims as well.
For Hindus, the cow is
sacred, therefore Hindus
do not eat beef. When
the
Hindus
realized
there was a Muslim
man storing beef in
his
refrigerator,
the
Hindus broke into the
Muslim man’s house
and brutally beat him
to death with clubs
purely because of their
religious
differences,
according to Suleski.

Internally displaced Ukranians forgotten

The
key
to
understanding Ukraine’s
migrant crisis is in
the
conflict’s
roots.
The upheaval that has
followed the ongoing
war in Eastern Ukraine
has disrupted millions
of
lives.
However,
most of the migrants
have been internally
displaced instead of
forced to leave their
home country. Western
European media outlets
have sparsely covered
the ongoing migrant
crisis in Ukraine because
internally
displaced
people are not classified
in the same way as those
who must escape their
war-torn countries.
“People
who
are
internally
displaced
are not counted as
refugees helping the
crisis fly under the
radar,” said Professor of
International Relations
at Suffolk University
Ukraine have primarily
sought refuge in Russia.
With compiled data from
the Ukrainian Ministry
of Social Policy and the
European Union, German
weekly news magazine,
Der Spiegel, estimated
that 911,600 Ukrainians,
mostly from the Donbass
area, have fled to Russia.
Russia’s Federal Migration
Services estimates that
on top of the Ukrainians
who have recently arrived
in Russia, there are an
additional 2.6 million
Ukrainians who live and
work in Russia.
“Russia has a visa-free
regime with Ukraine and
so each year hundreds
of thousands go to and
from Moscow, and Russia
in
general
considers
Ukrainians as their close
relatives, if not outright
the same people”, said
adjunct Suffolk history
professor Leon Rozmarin
in a statement to The
Suffolk Journal.
The conflict in Ukraine
began in 2013, when
then Ukrainian President
US driven NATO on
one hand, and Moscow,
which is reintegrating its
neighboring states into
a security and economic
union,” said Professor
Rozmarin.
While
Rozmarin
argued that Russia is
protecting its traditional
spheres
of
influence,
others disagree. Some
assert that Russia is using
its citizens in Ukraine
as a pretext to shift the
current
geopolitical
order in its favor, while
also expanding Russia’s
borders to match the old
Russian Empire.
“Because
something
once was accepted, it
doesn’t mean that it
should
be
accepted
today...what Russia did
in Ukraine is against
international law”, stated
Professor
Domínguez,
adding that “Nation’s
don’t do that anymore,
expansion, claiming that
they want to rescue their
citizens.”
Considering the role
that the European Union
“People who are internally displaced
are not counted as refugees… Helping
the crisis fly under the radar.”
-Professor of International Relations at
Suffolk University, Roberto Domínguez
Roberto Domínguez in
an interview with The
Suffolk Journal.
Since the start of the
war, nearly 1.6 million
Ukrainians have been
displaced
internally,
and another 1.2 million
have sought asylum in
neighboring countries,
according to a report by
UN Refugee Agency.
The
only
recent
ceasefire
that
was
successful was at the
end of August, which
allowed
children
in
Eastern
Ukraine
to
begin the new school
year without war. The
agreement was backed
by
Russia,
Ukraine,
France, Germany and
the
United
States,
according to multiple
news agencies. Other
attempts to reach a
ceasefire have fizzled
out.
Those who have fled
Viktor
Yanukovych
rejected
a
planned
association
agreement
between Ukraine and the
European Union, which
would have politically
and
economically
aligned Ukraine with
the E.U., in favor of
an economic deal with
Russia. Protests erupted
due
to
Yanukovych’s
decision,
and
the
Ukrainian
parliament
impeached him on Feb.
22, 2014. This triggered
Russian intervention in
Ukraine, and in March
2014, Russia annexed
Crimea, and then proRussian separatists seized
control of the Donetsk
and Luhansk regions in
Eastern Ukraine.
“It is from internal
Ukrainian historic roots
and from being smack
in the middle of the
geopolitical
contest
between an expanding,
has played, especially
in Germany, with the
relocation
of
Syrian
refugees, there has been
speculation as to why
there has not been a more
active role by the E.U. in
supporting
Ukrainian
asylum seekers.
“In many ways it’s a
controlled conflict areas
of Ukraine are politically
stable,” said Professor
Domínguez. The relative
size of Ukraine allows for
its citizens to find safety
within their own borders.
It also gives countries in
the E.U. a reason to reject
Ukrainian asylum seekers.
In the end, regardless
of
the
distinction,
Ukrainians are suffering
due to an armed conflict
beyond their control.

Suffolk panel tackles
America’s worldwide
war on drugs
Ryan Arel
Journal Contributor
Last
Wednesday,
Professor
Maureen
Norton-Hawk and other
Suffolk University staff
held an open seminar at
73 Tremont titled “The
Wall-Drug Policy in the
U.S.” for students and
faculty to discuss the
issue of international and
domestic drug policy and
its handling, as well as
issues regarding Trump’s
proposal to build a wall
along the U.S-Mexico
border.
Norton-Hawk,
Philosophy Chair Gregory
Fried, Assistant Professor
John Smolinsky, Associate
Professor Eric Bellone and
Economics
Department
Chair Shahruz Mohtadi
were featured on the
seminar’s diverse panel.
Americans
spend
roughly
one
billion
dollars on drugs each
year and the government
arrests about one and a
half million each year and
four million people are
convicted yearly for drug
charges, according to the
seminar’s panel.
The members of the
panel boasted specialties
across
a
variety
of
disciplines,
such
as
philosophy,
criminal
justice, economics and
sociology.
The
panel
covered
topics
that
ranged from the criminal
justice system and drug
courts to drug trafficking.
Given that Suffolk
University has possessed
such a high international
student rate, and that
international
drug
trafficking is very much
an issue, Norton-Hawk
said it is important for
students to be aware.
“[We’ve]
got
to
understand that we are
a global village,” said
Norton-Hawk.
Suffolk’s
student
body contains students
from
many
of
the
countries which the U.S.
has current or former
international drug trade
relations with, such as
China,
Columbia
and
various Middle Eastern
countries. Since Suffolk’s
student
population
predominently
hails
from many of these
countries, students may
very well have seen how
international drug trade
affects their native land.
According
to
the
panel,
a
prominent
issue regarding the U.S.Mexican
drug
trade
is the domestic drug
production,
Middle
Eastern
and
Chinese
drug imports are also a
contributor to the issue.
Norton-Hawk and the
rest of the panel spoke
to the issue of the border
wall and whether or not it
would be valid in helping
to combat U.S.-Mexican
drug trade. According to
Norton-Hawk, it “doesn’t
make any sense” to build
a wall.
Fried
agreed
with
Norton-Hawk’s criticism
of the plan to build the
wall.
“The wall is a sham.
As far as drug policy
goes, it is a completely
meaningless thing except
as a symbol, as a symbol
of a hard-nosed approach
to immigration,” said
Fried.
Although the U.S. has
taken precautions to keep
cartels and drug dealers
from getting into the
country,
Norton-Hawk
claimed that they find
more ways to bypass these
regulations, or find new
ways to enter altogether.
“They [the traffickers]
are not dumb,” said
Norton-Hawk.
“Just
because they’re doing
something we’ve defined
as illegal doesn’t mean
that they’re stupid. They
want to make money.”
Mohtadi claimed that
a possible way to curtail
the trade of drugs is to
go after the role of supply
and demand, why or why
not Americans buy drugs
and that even as prices
rise, it may not matter.
Mohtadi claimed that
drugs have very little
elasticity. Elasticity is
“how sensitive you are
to a change in price,” he
said. As far as drugs go,
there is low elasticity,
meaning when prices go
up, buyers will still buy,
according to mohtadi.
Fried spoke to this
in the seminar and said
that as long as drugs
are pleasurable, humans
will continuously seek
their
use.
“[Drugs]
supposedly make you
happy. There is a very
serious problem with the
conception of happiness,
which is generally based
around pleasure and selfsatisfaction,” said Fried.
Smolinsky reaffirmed
Fried’s point.
“All they [patients]
know
is
‘this
felt
better than that’,” said
Smolinsky.
There was also some
discussion
regarding
Afghanistan
and
how
the U.S. went after the
supply of opium. “When
we went to Afghanistan
to fight the Taliban, one
of the things that we did
was destroy their poppy
fields,” said Motadi. “One
of the policies we had was
completely destroy their
means of living, and so
you wonder why the local
population still protects
the Taliban.” In 2016,
global opium production
(6,380 tons) increased
by one third compared
to the previous year,
according to the United
Nations Office on Drugs
and Crime.
Bellone
discussed
drug courts as opposed
to criminal courts at
length, stating that they
are not geared toward
the punishment of drug
criminals, but instead
toward their recovery.
“They’re not there
to protect your health,
they’re there to protect
your rights,” said Bellone
in regards to attorneys
in the criminal justice
system. “Whereas in a
drug court that’s exactly
what they’re supposed
to do... A drug court
judge is very involved in
everything.”
Despite this seemingly
easier route to deal with
a drug charge, the drug
court system is still not
perfect. “The issue is
that when you’re in a
traditional
courtroom,
you understand what your
rights are,” said Bellone.
“There is a process...when
you’re in a drug court,
those processes are out
the window.”

“Yes” performed at
the Orpheum Theatre in
Boston on Oct. 4, 2017.
The band featured lead
singer
Jon
Anderson,
guitarist Trevor Rabin,
and
keyboardist
Rick
Wakeman.
The
progressive rock band was
recently inducted into
the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame in April after nearly
50 years of performing.
They have maintained
their success and status as
a profound rock and roll
devoted and enthusiastic
fan of “Yes” for the
majority of his life, and
this was his very first time
seeing the band perform
live. Similar to Puliafico,
many of the group’s fan
base has been following
them through the entirety
of their career.
The atmosphere at the
Orpheum was filled with
passion, mystery and, of
course, the iconic glitz and
glam of the ‘70s. A variety
of
different
colored
lights motioned on the
stage as lead singer Jon
Anderson entered with
a tambourine in hand.
He was greeted by an
empowering, deafening
applause and a plethora
of “rock-on” hand

rock groups,” according
to allmusic.com.
The band was formed
by

#GlamSlam at Boston Fashion Week
Profiling current and aspiring designers, Boston Fashion Week 2017 displays stories slam style
Haley Clegg
Photo Editor
Local
fashion
designers
and
artists
came together Thursday
night to share personal
stories from their careers
as a part of this year’s
Boston Fashion Week.
#GlamSlam featured 10
different speakers from
all areas of the fashion
world,
from
makeup
artists
to
footwear
designers to models and
an author. Some had been
in the industry for years
while others are just
beginning their careers.
#GlamSlam was put on
by Platform Downtown
and Downtown Business
Improvement
District
(BID), and was hosted
by former fashion model
and comedian Bethany
Van Delft.
Audience
members
also had the opportunity
to
anonymously
participate in the event.
On each seat was a white
slip of paper that asked to
tell of the “last time you
committed a fashion faux
pas.”
One person claimed
that faux pas do not exist.
“Never! I don’t believe
there is a mistake in
fashion,”
one
wrote
anonymously.
The event proceeded in
slam style, with speakers’
names drawn out of a
designer bag.
Footwear
Designer
Chris Donovan was the
first name pulled from
the purse and took a seat
at the front of the room
and faced the crowd.
“No matter what I’m
looking at throughout
my day, if it intrigues me,
my mind always goes to
shoes,” said Donovan.
“I’m obsessed.”
Donovan developed a
love for shoes early in life,
but decided to work for a
phone company after high
school as an operator for
nearly 25 years.
“I knew there was
something more in me,
and I knew there was
something more out there
that was more worthwhile
than what I was doing,”
said Donovan.
After sketching designs
for more than 40 years,
Donovan finally decided
to have a designer take
a look at his ideas. After
the first night of classes,
the designer pulled him
aside in class to tell him
that he was born to do
this. Donovan left his job
and he and his husband
moved to Italy for him
to attend Polimoda, a
fashion design school in
Florence. With no design
background, he graduated
at the top of his class, and
will be releasing a shoe
line within the next year.
Recent
Suffolk
University
graduate
Maxine
Buretta
was
one of the speakers at
#GlamSlam, where she
shared the story of her
senior
thesis
project.
As a senior, she had the
opportunity to design the
costuming for Orlando, by
Virginia Woolf where she
put together more than
40 pieces for the show.
“It was a fantastic and
transformative experience
for me,” Buretta told The
Suffolk Journal in an
interview. Suffolk allowed
her to graduate with a
concentration in costume
design, despite not having
a major catered to her
passion.
As of late, Buretta
is a freelance costume
designer and works on
odd jobs that intrigue her.
One current project is a
costume she is putting
together for an eight foot
tall bear.
“I love freelancing,
although it's not a career
goal I have long term,
but I love it and I love
what I do,” she said
in an interview with
The Suffolk Journal on
Thursday evening.
Not all of the speakers
at
#GlamSlam
were
designers. Liz Hostetter,
the CEO and founder
of Ellie Kai took to the
stage to speak about her
company. Her inspiration
for the business came
from the time she spent
living in Hong Kong where
she had difficulty finding
clothes that fit her due to
her height. She worked
with a local tailor to make
clothes and designs that
were personalized just for
her. With no background
in design, Hostetter took
this concept and ran with
it, and from it Ellie Kai
was born.
Her company, which
began in 2011, primarily

that are made-to-order.

A
mass
shooting
occurred in the beginning
of this month where 59
innocent people lost their
lives and nearly 500 were

Stephan Paddock, was
described by multiple
news sources as a country

and a president of a police
union in Miami labeled
the innocent boy a thug.
This is a disgusting
illustration of how two
institutions
that
are
meant to uphold justice
fail in representing the
marginalized people they
claim to support.
Some journalists are
right in reporting that
Paddock’s
motivations
are unknown, perhaps
unknowable forever. But
to act like the reason for
why reporters victimblame people of color
is not rooted in racial
prejudices is ridiculous.
Modern America exists in
a cross section of systems
that were founded on
racism and it is time
for its citizens to make
change.
The focus needs to
shift from blaming the
victims to blaming the
perpetrators
of
these
crimes.
This may seem like
common sense to some,
but when people of
color are consistently
demanding justice for
the
egregious
crimes
committed against them,
and nothing is being done
to help and save them, it’s
time for change.

Editor’s Word
As high school seniors, we were sent
brochures about the outlook that every
university would give us if we chose to
attend their institution. As millenials,
we have had the wool pulled over our
eyes.
College is not hard. The academics,
going to class, studying for a test and
ultimately passing are not difficult.
It isn’t strenuous to process the
information that you are instructed on
and make something out of it.
Being a college student is hard. To
sit there, day in and day out to take
the criticism of being told “you’re only
a college student,” and “you just don’t
understand yet,” or “you’re too young,”
while you’re being lectured about the
things that you’re trying to master that
won’t ultimately matter is hard.
As a college student, you’re pushed
out the door and told to etch your own
path in society where you can “make a
difference” and “change the world.” We
take two steps off the front porch and
we are battled with, sliced apart and
challenged for our views of change by
the very people who told us to modify it.
As a college student, you are told you
have to stay true to yourself. However,
you’re away from home, the one thing
you knew, or you’re in another country
and you’re surrounded by people with
different beliefs and customs. What is
your true self?
And while you’re balancing your
classes, bills, calling your grandmother
back, keeping up with your friendships,
your various part-time jobs and
extracurriculars, learning how to fall
in love, network with the professionals
that you look up to; you are desperately
trying to find your place, figure out
your passion and answer the daunting
question of “what’s next?” And during
this transition, the people you grew up
with forgot who you were, your pets died
and your siblings grow up.
How does one keep up with it? This
is not what the colleges put in the
brochures when they said “pick me.”
O
Puerto Rico, Trump and insensitivity
Gabriela Soto
Journal Contributor
For the islands in the
Caribbean,
hurricane
season can be erratic.
On the evening of Sept.
20, disaster struck and
effected
3.4
million
American
citizens
in
Puerto Rico (P.R.), a
territory of the United
States.
The
category
four hurricane, Maria,
made landfall with winds
reaching up to 155 miles
per hour and destructive
floods. Entering through
the
southeast
coast
and
exiting
through
the
northeast,
Maria
left 100 percent of the
island without power,
communication
lines
ceased to work, houses
got blown away and
thousands of people are
now in desperate need
of food, water, clothes,
gasoline, medication and
help.
What is the U.S.
government doing about
this?
In between his offtime golfing and ranting
about
the
National
Football League’s peaceful
protests,
President
Donald
Trump
found
some time to comment on
Puerto Rico’s governance
leadership, stating how
“poor” it is and how “they
want everything to be
done for them,” but not
making an effort to help
them. He also made time
out of his “busy” schedule
to visit the island on Oct.
3 where he threw paper
towels into a crowd and
said he would eliminate
P.R.’s debt.
“You
know
what
annoys me the most?
That they ask the people
to be calm, to be patient…
they ask people to be
organized
when
[the
government] is not,” said
Mariana Cabiya, 19-yearold resident of Bayamón,
Puerto Rico.
Cabiya related how
scared she was and how
every night, in complete
darkness; people were
stealing and killing others
in order to get their
resources. If not, it’s in
the six-hour lines that
people get overwhelmed
in and resort to violence
for every little issue. “I
don’t feel safe, there is a
lot is going on.”
It took Trump a week
to address the situation
via tweets, where he said,
“Puerto Rico, which was
already suffering from
broken infrastructure &
massive debt, is in deep
trouble.”
Many public figures
have tried to get Trump
to act on this matter
by calling him out and
demanding his attention.
Additionally,
people
have joined forces in
organizing food drives,
as well as collecting
donations. In three days,
there were hundreds of
truckloads filled with
necessities and millions
of dollars collected in
various funds.
Trump could have
acted immediately and
sent troops to help
with relief tasks, but
did not. On top of this,
communication problems
have made it hard for local
government to effectively
address the situation.
P.R.’s governor, Ricardo
Roselló, has responded
to the extent that he
can within the difficult
situations he and the
rescue teams have found
along the way. Today,
there are still towns in
which authorities have
yet to reach to calculate
damages or offer relief.
Mayors are having trouble
identifying
dangers,
victims, damages, deaths
and recovering their cities
from disaster. A more
appropriate
response
from the U.S. would have
involved the workforce to
assist in these drastically
needed tasks.
Carmen Yulín Cruz,
the mayor of San Juan,
was deeply disappointed
by Trump’s comments
and lack of actual action.
“It just goes to prove the
lack of sensitivity,” she
said, referring to Trump’s
choice of words during
what she called a public
relations situation. In a
second meeting, where
Trump was not present,
further
actions
were
discussed between U.S.
and P.R. government.
This
is
really
concerning; Puerto Rico
is having a humanitarian
crisis and the responses
have taken too long.
These next weeks are
going to determine the
future of Puerto Rico and
it’s people.
The
United
States
should be worried about
Puerto Rico and need to
be doing everything they
can to help. From their
position, the most helpful
resource is their voice. It
is time to speak up for
the 3.4 million American
citizens that live in Puerto
Rico; have them be heard
and get them the help
they most desperately
need.

Ban on blood: The FDA should rethink
Shayla Manning
Journal Contributor
In the wake of the
Las
Vegas
massacre,
hundreds of victims were
left in critical condition in
hospitals all around the
city.
Within hours after
the shooting, lines for
blood donation centers
had wrapped around the
block. It appeared that
most people in the area
had come out to help.
Well, almost everyone.
In 1985, a lifetime
ban policy was put into
effect by the Federal Food
and Drug Administration
(FDA)
that
made
it
impossible for certain
groups of the LGBTQ
community to donate
blood.
This
included
men who have sex with
men (MSM), women who
have sex with MSM, and
transgender individuals
who have sex with MSM.
At the time, the country
was experiencing a large
HIV/AIDS epidemic and
what was, at the time, a
precautionary measure,
now remains as an
extremely discriminatory
policy.
There have been a few
updates made to the policy
due to increased criticism
of the FDA, which made
it acceptable for most of
the LGBTQ community to
donate, but the policy is
still discriminatory. The
only exception for people
who are allowed to give
blood is that gay men
must abstain from having
sex for 12 months before
being eligible to donate.
Despite having access
to comprehensive HIV
testing and treatment, the
FDA still refusesdonations
from gay or bi-sexual
men that do not have this
deferral period.
This is a civil rights
issue.
Under the current
policy, gay and bi-sexual
men are not allowed to
donate blood, unless they
either become abstinent
for a year, or lie about
their sexual history. The
latter option is troubling.
Even if they have a
protected, healthy sex life,
they are still ineligible to
donate, which hinders
the ability for hospitals
to save more lives since
some people who want to
give blood cannot.
Despite
centers
receiving more blood
than they even knew what
to do with, that does not
make it okay to exclude
members of society from
contributing. According
to a report done by UCLA
Williams Institute in 2014,
if the FDA were to lift this
ban on gay and bisexual
men, it would save 1.8
million lives a year.
There are alternatives
to ensuring that the
blood
being
received
is safe, but completely
banning perfectly healthy
individuals solely because
of their sexual orientation
will only set us back in
the fight for equality of
the LGBTQ community.
So how could the FDA
alter this policy?
First off, the FDA
should
remove
the
mandatory deferral period
for gay and bi-sexual
men. If the individual
is comfortable, it would
be helpful for donation
centers to be able to
assess
their
specific
sexual practices before
turning them away at the
door. A deferral should be
on a specific case basis.
By assuming all gay sex is
a risk, the FDA is basically
asking to be criticized and
is persecuting a group of
people who have already
endured oppression for
most of history.
It is critical that we,
as a society, stand up
for a ridiculous injustice
that has most likely gone
unnoticed by most of us.
The fight for total
equality for the LGBTQ
community
will
only
grow stronger if we tear
down old policies that
continue to discriminate
individuals
simply
because of their sexual
orientation.

Suffolk men’s golf team look to compete in the
GNAC Championship from Oct. 14-15.
Hannah Arroyo
Asst. Sports Editor
In the past 14 seasons,
the Suffolk men’s golf
team has never finished
first in the Great Northeast
Athletic
Conference
(GNAC) Championship. As
the current season shortly
runs it’s course, the Rams
will look to bring a title
home to Suffolk.
Suffolk opened the
2017 season on Sept. 12
in the Emmanuel College
Saints
Invitational
at
George
Wright
Golf
Course. Out of the four
colleges that competed
in the match, the Rams
finished second with a
final overall score of 328.
Wentworth Institute of
Technology's team score
of 320 beat out the Rams
by just eight strokes.
Second place did not
seem to be enough for the
Rams as the team would
score a first place finish
in the second match of
the season, the Emmanuel
Invitational on Sept. 27.
Senior Patrick Hennessy,
junior Stephen Ferrante
and sophomore Owen
Boggini individually all
tied for second place with
a score of 75.
On Oct. 8, the Rams
played the first twoday competition of the
season in the Blazer
Fall Invitational at the
Orchards
Golf
Club.
With a larger pool of
competition,
Suffolk
finished the match in
eighth place out of 16
teams. Over the two days,
the Rams ventured across
36 holes and finished the
match with a combined
team score of 631.
“I believe we played up
to our expectations [in]
the Elms tournament,”
said junior Daniel Caissie
in a recent interview with
The Suffolk Journal. “We
were able to beat and
closely
compete
with
teams that used to give us
trouble in the past.”
Caissie said that he
believed this tournament
set the tone for the
team
heading
into
the
upcoming
GNAC
Championship.
“So far this season I
believe we've done really
well,” said head golf
coach Ed McMellen in
an interview with The
Journal. “What [the team]
has been doing and what
they've been practicing
has been showing in the
play.”
McMellen said that
compared to previous
teams, this group had
been different from the
rest.
“We’re a little deeper
this year, there's a lot of
competition within the
team to get one of the top
five spots which I think
makes us stronger and
better,” said McMellen.
McMellen
explained
that this season there is a
massive amount of talent
on his 11-man roster. He
said that instead of having
a team where the same
players reach the top spot
each match, different
players are constantly
competing to be in the
number one position.
Ferrante
explained
that his teammates are
a tight-knit group and
often turn to each other
for advice.
“As for the reason
to our success, a lot of
the credit goes to the
younger
guys,”
said
Ferrante in an interview
with The Journal. “They
come day-in and day-out,
consistently posting good
scores and that's what it
takes to win out here.”
With
the
GNAC
Championship
at
the
Valley Country Club in
Rhode Island approaching
on Oct. 14, Ferrante said
he has high hopes for his
team.
“With
the
GNAC
coming up we are just
trying to keep doing what
we're doing and stay
loose,” said Ferrante. “As
long as we keep working
hard there's no reason
we shouldn't be able to
take [the championship]
home.”
McMellen said that
the team will have to face
some tough competition
such as Rhode Island
College, but he expects
nothing but a positive
outcome.
“I think we can possibly
have out best finish ever,”
said
McMellen.
“I’m
looking forward to that
and we'll see how we do.”
McMellen
explained
that the key to keeping
this team on a successful
path is making sure that
each player goes out onto
the green with a great
deal of confidence.
“When they hit a bad
shot, they need to block
that out of their mind. It’s
more of a mental thing
than a physical thing,”
said McMellen.
In his 15th season
of coaching the Rams,
McMellen
has
high
hopes that his team will
finish the season out as
champions.
“It will be tough but
I think it's a possibility,”
said
McMellen.
“Realistically I think they
do have a pretty good
chance [in the GNAC].”

Volleyball hits stride midway through season
Joe Rice
Journal Staff
After a strong start
to the 2017 campaign
for
the
Lady
Rams’
volleyball team, the team
has appeared to be on
the rise. Considering the
team’s 11-16 record last
season, improvement was
necessary. To begin the
current season, the Lady
Rams started with an 11-7
overall record.
The Lady Rams have
improved
in
many
aspects of the team’s
game
statistically.
In
comparison
to
2016,
Suffolk has improved in
assists per set, service
aces per set, kills per set
and hitting percentage.
One game that stood
out from the rest was
against
Anna
Maria
College. Suffolk swept
the series 3-0 on Sept. 30,
making it the first time
the Lady Rams have done
so in back-to-back games
since 2014. Moreover, this
victory marked the first
time under head coach
Bonny Ducharme that the
Lady Rams have beaten
Anna Maria. The last win
against the Amcats came
in 2013.
“Anna
Maria
has
always been a challenge
for us in the past,” said
senior global business
major Elizabeth Kerek in
a recent interview with
The Suffolk Journal. “I
was excited to play them
this year and see how
much we have improved.
Beating them was a great
feeling.”
Kerek discussed how
she is looking forward to
the remaining 10 games
after seeing what has
unfolded through the
first half.
Not only is Kerek
optimistic about the team,
due to recent events, but
the senior standout also
achieved a goal she had
set for herself since the
beginning of the season.
Kerek became one of
three Rams to have at
least 1,000 career assists.
Junior business major
Bridget Allison said the
team had to come into
the
matchup
against
Anna Maria with a sense
of
urgency,
knowing
the Amcats are a strong
opponent.
Sophomore
outside
hitter and right side
Kayleigh
Khanna
had
some positive words for
the recent triumph over
Anna Maria.
“Anna Maria was a
great win. We had some
great [plays] and the drive
back was an enjoyable
one,” said Khanna in a
recent interview with The
Journal.
Khanna
commented
on the season the Lady
Rams have had thus far,
saying it has been better
than last season, but she
still feels like the team
could perform better.
Allison pointed out
that the factor in beating
the Amcats was being
able to stay persistent. In
addition, Allison said the
Lady Rams could build off
this success.
Allison claimed that
this showed that the Lady
Rams need to go into
every game with a “‘we
are going to win this”
mentality.
Khanna is convinced
the team also has the
ability to push forward
after this big feat and is
hopeful that as a result,
more wins will come the
Lady Rams’ way.
Khanna believes the
key to going forward for
the team will be to remain
consistent.
“More
drive
and
more cohesiveness on
the court,” will be the
formula to more winning
and moving forward, said
Khanna.
Kerek considers the
Lady Rams to have a lot
of talent and thinks the
team is using their natural
ability to the advantage.
Kerek said the Lady Rams
are the strongest when all
players on the team have
energy.
“When we are up,
there is no stopping us,”
said Kerek.
Suffolk
looks
to
continue on a successful
path
as
they
face
Wentworth Institute Of
Technology on Oct. 12.

Trump revises travel ban,
includes three additional countries
Kyle Crozier
Senior Staff Writer
International students
at Suffolk University are
faced with new travel
restrictions, after last
week President Trump
increased the scope of
his controversial travel
ban to include several
new countries, while also
removing Sudan. This
means travelers to or from
Chad, Iran, Libya, North
Korea, Syria, Venezuela
and Yemen, may all face
a widely varying group of
constraints.
At
Suffolk,
and
any
other
American
university, students may
now be unable to go home
and return to school after
classes are completed
for the year depending
on which of the banned
countries they are from.
The law states that any
entry into the country
by Syrians is completely
suspended
without
exception. But for those
looking to come from
Venezuela, all are allowed
to travel with exception
for government officials
and
their
immediate
family members.
Out of all the countries
discussed in the new ban,
Venezuela
represents
the largest population
of Suffolk students with
more than 50 enrolled
this year. In contrast to
this, there are less than
ten students enrolled
from North Korea, Syria,
Chad, Yemen and Libya
combined.
“I think, as much as
I disagree with most of
President Trump’s action
regarding policy, that’s
the only portion of the
ban that I do understand,”
said Student Government
Association
president
and Suffolk senior Daniel
Gazzani regarding the
inclusion of Venezuela
into the travel ban in a
recent interview with The
Suffolk Journal.
Gazzani
is
from
Venezuela,
a
country
whose government he
said he believes needs to
be recognized as guilty
of many human rights
violations and fraudulent
election activities.
“I think it’s more
of
punitive
measure
to punish [the North
Korean and Venezuelan]
governments
for
the
courses of policy action
they have taken against
the
United
States,”
continued Gazzani.
On Twitter, President
Trump
explained
his
motivation for moving
forward with the ban as
centered around plans to,
“not admit those into our
country we cannot safely
vet.”
More
than
200
countries were reviewed
as to how well they
would be able to provide
Homeland Security with
detailed
identifying
information about those
citizens which intend to
travel into the United
States. The Office of the
Press Secretary that those
countries which did not
meet these standards

Unlike the previous
ban, the new plan will
be active indefinitely,
until
those
countries
either
make
changes
that would allow them
to be compliant with the
new rules, or until the
supreme court rules it as
unconstitutional.
“I think the travel
ban continues to leave
students
that
are
impacted nervous, scared,
afraid, I think they’re
nervous to study abroad
or to travel home and
come back,” explained
Dean of Students Ann
Coyne in an interview
with The Suffolk Journal.
Coyne
described
how
although
most
students will not be
directly affected by the
new policies, it leaves
many “concerned and
confused.”
“Within the university
it’s our role to keep
students safe on campus
and to provide them with
support and resources
they need so they can
cope with these stressors,”
insisted Coyne.
Much of the initial
push-back
surrounding
Trump’s original proposed
travel ban was due to the
overwhelming
majority
of the populations being
Muslim. This, following
comments in December
of 2015 calling for a
“total
and
complete
shutdown” of Muslims
entering the country.
The inclusion of North
Korea
and
Venezuela
have signaled to some as
an attempted distancing
of
his
administration
from
the
accusations
of the travel ban being
motivated by any antiMuslim sentiment.

Art program takes advantage of resources while construction prolongs
From ART page 1
‘this should’ve been fixed
a long time ago,’ but it
definitely should’ve been
fixed a long time ago. It’s
been a while.”
Vega said that the two
basement levels were
initially supposed to be
finished when the rest
of the Art and Design
department floors were
done, which was originally
set for May of this year.
But because of the timing
involved with initially
finding the damage, the
construction was delayed
by a few months, and
according to Vega, should
now be finished in a
couple of weeks.
“You have to keep in
mind that those two levels
are about three stories
below grade - so they’re
very well under ground,
so when you have water
filtration at that level it’s
very difficult to tell where
it’s coming from. So you
can see the water staining
on the walls, but also
along the ceiling and the
steel. So we’ve repaired
all those elements.”
Administrative
Services
Manager,
Anita Sen was initially
concerned because of
the potential of losing
the
space
entirely,
meaning that the fine
arts students could have
possibly lost their work
space altogether due to
the damage. However,
do to the current work
being done by facilities in
Sawyer, the construction
on “A” is nearly finished,
putting the timeline for
the rest of the building on
track toward completion.
“It’s an old building,
it’s an old city. Is there
a permanent solution? I
don’t think the university
can afford it, but they are
doing what they can for
the students,” Sen said.
The newly installed
classrooms have been
renovated with advanced
technology designed to
fit the needs of students
of all concentrations.
Last semester, prior to
the summer-time move,
the Art and Design
department
adopted
a
Virtual
Desktop
Infrastructure (VDI), the
new program for Art and
Design majors, minors
and all those participating
in art classes. A Cloudbased system that will not
only relieve students of a
file-sharing system like
Dropbox, but will allow
students
and
faculty
alike to access various
graphic design programs
from remote locations,
according
to
Sen,
effectively eliminating the
need to work on campus
in Art and Design specific
computer labs.
According
to
Sen,
the implementation of
this program began last
semester with regard to
instructional
meetings
for students and faculty
alike,
complete
with
faculty members standing
by at the 75 Arlington
building prepared for
troubleshooting.
Sen told The Journal
on Tuesday afternoon that
many of the informational
meetings
have
been
mandatory so as to ensure
student
involvement
and understanding with
VDI. She confirmed to
The Journal reporters
that the department will
not be receiving new
Macintosh
computers
due to the availability
of programs that are
included in VDI. While

will
eventually become privy

Programming malfunction on elevators set to resolve this week
From SAWYER page 1
The student body has
shown some discontent
recently
toward
the
elevators’ delayed service
in one of Suffolk’s most
prominent
academic
buildings.
“This is what our
tuition gets us?” said
freshman Alex Coninck
in a recent interview with
The Suffolk Journal. “We
pay a lot of money, we
should have functioning
elevators. It is really
inconvenient to get to
classes in Sawyer.”
On Monday, university
spokesman Greg Gatlin
released a statement that
announced the university
is aware of the faults
and detailed what has
caused frequent delays in
service. According to the
statement, the delays are
the result of two separate
issues:
reprogramming
of the elevators and
accidental activation of a
safety feature.
The
non-traditional
modern system by Delta
Beckwith Elevator in the
lobby of 8 Ashburton
Place has left patrons of
the Suffolk community
riding a lift confused and
indifferent.
“You
never
know
where you’re going,” said
senior Ashley Sullivan to
The Journal. “You just
kind of have to jump in
hoping you get where you
have to go.”
Professors
have
also taken notice to
the congested elevator
system, especially ones
who teach classes on
the higher floors of the
Sawyer building.
Dr. Anurag Sharma
teaches for the physics
department on the ninth
floor of Sawyer. As an
associate professor, he
said that he has a lovehate relationship with the
elevators, although he is
not sure how they could
be improved upon.
“If you are late, a
whole crowd is waiting
for the same elevator
for the same floor,” said
Sharma. “At peak time,
it’s nearly impossible.”
The university has
recently set their sights
on fixing the problem
that has been illuminated
by a full load of student
traffic brought on by the
start of the fall semester.
The process to resolve
these issues has begun,
according to University
Director of Construction
Services Andre Vega.
“The elevator travel
times
weren’t
really
an issue because the
student body is so light
in the summer,” said
Vega in a recent in a
recent interview with
The Journal. “I think they
put in the orders, so they
probably will be in this
week.”
According
to
the
statement, the university
is working with Delta
Beckwith to rectify these
issues.
“Long wait times for
students trying to get
to and from class and
other building uses is an
inconvenience that is not
acceptable,” said Gatlin.
Elevators
have,
at
times, been rendered
inoperable when the door
has been held open for
too long. After the doors
are open for an extended
period of time, an alert
is triggered that disables
the elevator until service
representative arrives to
fix it, officials said.
“We have to call a
technician to reset the
elevator,” said Vega. “[The
time it takes] can vary. It
depends on how busy the
technician is and when
they can get there. It’s
not something that we
can do in-house.”
Whenever a technician
is called from Delta
Beckwith, the university
is charged through its
contractor C&W Services.
The university did not
specify the amount of
each repair charge.
The recent transition
of the Art & Design
department,
formerly
known as New England
School
of
Art
and
Design (NESAD), from
75 Arlington St. to the
Sawyer
building
has
also had an unintended
detrimental effect on
the elevators. According
to the statement, the
elevators last year were
programmed in a way
that did not allow them
to travel a single floor in
either direction.
“This
programming
encouraged
students,
faculty and staff to use the
stairs and eliminated very
short rides,” according to
the statement.
The elevators were
also programmed not to
allow travel to the floors
in which construction was
taking place. When the
Art & Design floors were
open to the public and
the semester began, the
system was not adjusted
to disallow travel up
or down a single floor,
according to officials.
“I think it was a matter
of somebody didn’t tell
them that that’s the way
it needed to be done,”
said Vega.
The
ability
to
Alexa Gagosz/ Editor-in-Chief
Scaffolding set on Sawyer’s north entrance to
restore the building’s façade
travel a lone floor has
considerably slowed the
pace of elevator traffic,
but students have made
the best of their situation.
“I mean, it’s an okay
system. The elevators
are better in buildings
where there is a visible
stairwell nearby because
it provides people with
options versus strictly
taking the elevator,” said
junior Luisa Drumond.
“In Sawyer, some people
just take the stairs to
avoid waiting. Personally,
I don’t take the stairs but
also I wouldn’t say that
I wait too long for the
elevator though either.”
Along
with
the
ongoing
issues
with
the
elevator
system,
additional
construction
is also taking place to
repair Sawyer’s facade.
Overhanging scaffolding
on Sawyer’s main entrance
has become commonplace
and will remain erect
until
the
project’s
completion date set for
November, according to
the statement.
“At that time, the
scaffolding
will
be
removed and the façade
will be restored to its
original
glory,”
said
Gatlin.
While
construction
continues, students hope
for a prompt conclusion
to the maintenance in
Sawyer, which in part has
inhibited their ability to
travel between floor in a
timely fashion.
“[The elevators] make
me late for class all the
time,” said junior Sabrina
Belloste. “Usually I just
have to take the stairs
up nine floors, then I’m
huffing and puffing.”

Law student cashes in win: Finalist wins $25,000 scholarship
Nathan Espinal
Senior Staff Writer
To compete against
other
qualified
law
students for a chance at
a $65,000 scholarship
may seem like a daunting
task, but fourth year
Suffolk
Law
student
Catherine Dowie took
the opportunity to put
her legal writing skills
to use in an area of law
she was unfamiliar with.
She walked away with the
honor of placing second
and $25,000 in her pocket.
This New Jersey native
has
been
enamored
with law for some time
now, having spent her
undergraduate career at
Smith College studying
American
government
and computer science
on weekdays and taking
charge of the debate
team as president on
the weekends. Although
the responsibilities of
being on the debate team
were
vastly
different
from what she does now,
these experiences helped
shape her demeanor as an
aspiring attorney.
Starting law school
however was a different
experience, but Dowie
was more than prepared
to take on the new
challenges.
Qualifying
for the Suffolk Moot
Court team last year was
no issue for Catherine.
The Moot Court team
allows students to refine
their legal writing skills
and work on cases that
prepare them to practice
law in the real world
“From
a
team
perspective,
because
you’re dealing with a fake
problem, there’s going to
be bounds from where
the problem writers can
write the problem,” said
Timothy Bolen, coach
for the Suffolk Moot
Court team in a recent
interview
with
The
Suffolk Journal. “[Dowie]
is always spotting and
identifying issues with
the problem because she’s
always thinking in that
real attorney mindset.”
Her
experience
working previously as a
paralegal for The Phia
Group, LLC of which
she is now a Manager
in Legal Subrogation &
Reimbursement Services,
has also further developed
her legal writing skills into
something formidable.
This competition in
which Dowie competed
in was sponsored by
Philip
Shawe,
whose
company,
Transperfect,
was sold wholesale in a
prolific court decision.
The Delaware Court of
Chancery, a court that
settles disputes within
corporations, decided that
since the former partners
were at a deadlock in how
to manage the company,
it would be sold despite
its precipitous earnings.
Shawe was appealing his
case to the United States’
Supreme court when he
decided he needed a legal
think tank to help him
succeed in gaining control
over the company from
his wife. This think tank
would have helped his
legal team establish new
ways to argue against the
Delaware Supreme Court
decision.
When Dowie became
aware of the competition,
she only had a week to
prepare her brief before
the deadline. She said
while the research was
strenuous,
her
time
writing briefs for her
Moot Court team and
Phia was what allowed
her to place top three,
which garnered her the
invitation to argue her
position as a finalist.
Having
had
little
experience
with
the
Courtesy of Catherine Dowie
Takings Clause, which
is a provision of the
fifth amendment that
prevents private property
from being taken for
public use without just
compensation,
Dowie
had to do a great deal
of research in a short
amount of time.
“I read the opinions
and a decent amount of
material from the record,
and just formulated the
best arguments I could
for why it hadn’t been
justified by the lower
court,” said Dowie in a
recent interview with
The Journal. “They were
taking this company away
from this shareholder that
had been able to generate
profit for so long when
the company wasn’t in
any financial struggle.”
When
describing
how exactly a student
can
possess
such
a
skillset, Bolen, who is
an
Adjunct
Professor
in the Legal Practice
Skills Department, said
Dowie’s legal prowess is
an impressive quality to
have.
“One thing that strikes
me with [Dowie] is that
she approaches problems
from almost an over
technical
standpoint,
which is great,” said
Bolen. “It’s something
I think will serve her
exceptionally well when
she leaves law school.”
Having been awarded
$25,000 for her efforts,
Dowie said she will has
put the scholarship to
good use by “putting a
dent” in her loans.

Tewksbury woman falls
victim to Las Vegas shooting
Rhonda LeRocque, a 42-year-old Tewksbury
mother was one of the 59 people killed in the
Las Vegas mass shooting on Sunday night,
according to the Boston Globe. She attended
the concert with her husband Jason, six year
old daughter, and father-in-law. Her fatherin-law and daughter had just left the concert
to head back to their hotel room when the
shooting began. Korina Champagne, LeRocque’s
sister posted on Facebook Monday mourning
her sister’s passing. “My heart is broken, I’m
numb, I feel paralyzed. This doesn’t seem real,”
she wrote. “All I can do is turn to God’s Word
for comfort, just as she would want me to. May
she rest now until her name is called and she
is awakened in paradise.” The four had planned
to head to Disney Land in Anaheim, California
with their daughter. LeRocque’s mother Priscilla
Champagne continues to mourn the loss of her
daughter. “My first thought waking up this
morning is, ‘I’ll never see my baby girl again.’
I loved her so much.” said Champagne at her
home on Tuesday morning.
Student entrepreneurs pen
success from crowd-funding
projects
Tom Price resigns from
Trump cabinet for
spending habits
The Sawyer Business School offered its firstever crowd-funding class last fall. Two of the
student entrepreneurs have come a long ways
since then. Senior Sara Maloney’s crowdfunding enterprise is called Buddha Bus Yoga.
Her mission is to take yoga out of the studio
and make it more accessible for offices, college
campuses, and community centers. Crowdfunding has allowed her to acquire yoga mats
and a corporate card. She already has clients
that include Life is Good, Massachusetts
College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences,
and Keryx Biopharmaceuticals. Recent Suffolk
graduate James Testa has also had success
with his crowd-funding project. It was during
his own recovery process from a serious
accident last year that he found inspiration
for his venture. He wanted to find a more user
friendly way of getting protein into his system
in order to rebuild his muscle mass, without
having to drink protein shakes every time.
According to his website, WarmUp Coffee has
only 60 calories and 15 grams of protein per
serving. Testa has received press from Fox
News and BostInno. He has also successfully
convinced gyms to stock his product.
Tom Price, former health and human services
secretary officially resigned from his position
on Friday. Prior to his resignation, Price had
received criticism for taking charter flights at the
government’s expense, which is directly funded
by taxpayer dollars. According to the New York
Times and Politico, Price had racked up over
$400,000 in travel expenses on chartered jets
this year. In addition to this, Price took military
aircraft to Africa, Europe, and Asia, bringing his
bill to over $1 million. He offered to reimburse
the government for $51,887.31, which would
cover the cost of his seat on the flights, but
not of his staffers. Price’s actions threatened
one of President Donald Trump’s key campaign
promises to drain the swamp of Washington.
His resignation letter read, “I regret that the
recent events have created a distraction from
these important objectives. Success on these
issues is more important than any one person.
In order for you to move forward without
further disruption, I am officially tendering my
resignation.” Trump appointed Deputy Assistant
Secretary Don J. White as acting secretary.

Suffolk professors talk options on North Korea
Amy Koczera
Asst. World News
Editor
Patrick Holmes
Opinion Editor
While North Korea is
considered a reclusive
country,
many
still
venture to the nation
in
order
to
learn
more about the inner
political workings of the
government. As a part
of social sciences week,
the
Government
and
Philosophy departments
at Suffolk University held
an internal panel this past
Tuesday to further discuss
North Korea with a few
Suffolk professors that
have visited the country.
Chairperson
Gregory
Fried of the Philosophy
department
moderated
the discussion among
the panel and brought up
the question of just war
theory with the potential
threat from North Korea.
Fried
speculated
about the outcome of the
relationship the United
States has with North
Korea, now that they have
nuclear weapons that can
reach the West Coast of
the U.S. He said President
Donald Trump might be
holding war with North
Korea as an option to
distract
the
country
from what is happening
internally.
Visiting
Suffolk
Professor Friedrich Lohr
and
previous
North
Korean
diplomat
to
Germany, said during
the panel that Trump
does not have enough
knowledge of nuclear
deterrence. Lohr also
compared Trump to Idi
Amin, previous dictator of
Uganda, with how Trump
has seemed to declare
his power of being the
president of the U.S.
“The problem with
Kim Jong-un is that he’s
just like Donald Trump.
They know how to brag,
how to yell, and how to
threaten,” said History
professor Ronald Suleski
during an interview with
The Suffolk Journal. “And
that’s not [going to] lead
to any good.”
Professor
Weiqi
Zhang, a government
assistant professor, along
with Professor Lohr, who
By Facebook user Weiqi Zhang

On left: Clockwise Gregory Fried, Weiqi Zhang, Friedrich Lohr, Ronald Suleski | On right: Kim Jong-un
have both been to North
Korea, agree that in Asia
it is important to save
face.
“We’ve got to find a
way for [Trump and Jungun] to both stand down
without losing any face,”
said Suleski. “You’re a
bully, you’re a braggart,
you don’t really want to
lose face, but you don’t
really want to fight
either.”
Suleski
visited
northeast China by the
say anything so they just
walk away, especially in
the border zones around
North Korea.
However, according to
Suleski, it does not seem
that the Chinese and
South Koreans are afraid
of war with North Korea.
Suleski feels that a lot of
people in Asia, directly
north of North Korea, or
in Seoul, South Korea are
not worried about a war.
Japan
is
more
concerned
with
the
Ri Yong Ho’s interaction
with Trump at the United
Nations two weeks ago,
Japan understands that
North Korea is at least
in contact with the U.S.
Japan is afraid they
will have no allies to
support them if North
Korea decides to launch
an attack, according to
Suleski.
“The whole thing is
a tinder box and people
are playing with fire: if
one spark goes off in the
his experience traveling
there. He went on to
say that it is unlikely for
North Korea to initiate
an attack on the U.S.
due to their size as a
country. Zhang offered
his thoughts that North
Korea’s
best
strategy
would be to be a neutral
small power that played
off of two major powers
instead of attacking one
major power.
“I always say that
China is the one to solve
“You’re a bully, you’re a braggart, you don’t
really want to lose face, but you don’t really
want to fight either.”
- Professor Ronald Suleski
North Korean border this
past June and interviewed
many
Chinese
and
Koreans who have been
to North Korea. He also
visited
Seoul,
South
Korea to search for
more information on the
secretive country.
“No one wants to talk
about North Korea,” said
Suleski during the panel.
There are too many spies
from North Korea, South
Korea and China that
everyone is too afraid to
concept
of
nuclear
war due to their lack
of
nuclear
weapons
and their complicated
relationship with North
Korea.
The
Chinese
lack a relationship with
Japan because of the war
with China about Japan
occupying land in China.
“What if North Korea
lashes out on Japan?” said
Suleski. “Who will come
to their defense?”
Considering
North
Korean foreign minister
wrong spot the whole
place could burn down,”
said Suleski.
Everyone on the panel
appeared to be concerned
about
the
current
relations
with
North
Korea and said that they
each have friends there
and know people that
could be harshly affected.
Zhang also confirmed
that everyone has to
be careful of what is
said when they are in
North Korea, based on
it,” said Suleski. “China is
the one to bring people
together. China is the
one to take down Kim
Jong-un, if anyone can
do it. My personal feeling
is that China has all the
spies they need in North
Korea.”
He said that Asians
typically wait a little bit
and don’t act impulsively
because
Asians
know
the situation will change
slightly. China is not
acting yet because the
Chinese know that every
time North Korea sends a
missile toward the Pacific,
the North Koreans can
send it toward Beijing.
On the other hand,
according
to
Suleski,
Trump’s
antagonizing
behavior could potentially
end up starting a war.
“Trump doesn’t think
deeply, he doesn’t in
any complex way,” said
Suleski. “People say he
doesn’t think in a complex
way. He sees an issue and
he reacts to it.”
Overall,
the
panel
came to a consensus that
the relations between
the U.S. and North Korea
look bleak and each panel
member hopes that the
nightmare outcome will
not happen: the United
States will use nuclear
weapons on North Korea,
and then Russia and China
will react with nuclear
weapons of their own and
the planet will engage in
nuclear warfare, ending
catastrophically.

Saudi women get green light to drive

With a new deal, women will be able to take the wheel by next June

Saudi
Arabia
has
recently made strides
in the campaign on
women’s rights, both
with the recognition of
International
Women’s
Day as well as the lift
of women's driving ban.
Opinions
about
the
decision vary on the
Suffolk
campus
with
those who grew up as
citizens of Saudi Arabia
possessing mixed views
while the Western world
seeing the decision as
one of positive change
towards America’s view
of Saudi.
Throughout the Middle
East, Islam is interpreted
in many different ways
that align to one’s culture
or country. These types
of laws and ideas derive
from the history of the
country, culture and the
way some Saudi’s look at
their religion.
According to Shaza
Mass, a biology major at
Suffolk, in Saudi Arabia,
women, such as herself,
never really felt any
sense of “oppression”
by not being allowed to
drive, because as a part of
their culture, they did not
really see it as a necessity.
“You are born not having
to do as much as the men
do, everything that the
women needed to do was
close to them, there was
no need for them to drive
anywhere,” said Mass.
Traditionally, women
are expected to wear hijab
while going out or around
other men that aren’t
family, but in the comfort
of their own homes,
friends and families, or
parties, women do not
dress in hijab, rather in
clothes that appeal to
them, not unlike anything
that would be worn in the
U.S., Mass said.
“The
segregation
actually brought
more
comfort because when we
go out we have to wear
hijabs,” said Mass. “When
we are in their own homes
around their families we
are able to do and dress
however we want.”
Saudi’s hold mixed
views on the overturn,
some praised the ruling
while others wonder how
it will affect their everyday
lives. These types of
restrictions derived from
some of the traditional
Saudi values. As time
progresses, so do the
mindsets of the country’s
people. As the mindsets
Jacob Geanous/ World News Editor
of the citizens progresses,
the development of the
country is able to move
forward.
The ruling is due to
the 2030 Plan, enacted by
Mohammad Bin Salman,
the Deputy Crown Prince
of Saudi Arabia, as himself
and his government try
to move the country to
less oil-based economy
and put policies in place
to help domestic services
and tourism, according
to BBC. The President of
Suffolk University’s Saudi
Student’s
Association,
Rayan AlJelaly said in an
interview with the Suffolk
Journal, “Women in Saudi
Arabia are allowed to
drive now and the reason
for that is because our
new king and our crown
prince have a new vision
of Saudi Arabia, it’s a
vision called 2030 and
it’s going through two
steps which is in 2020
and 2030. Saudi Arabia
is developing,” he said.
“People have changed and
so have their mindsets.
Saudi Arabia is a great
country ruled by a great
government.”
When the news came
out about Saudi women
now being able to drive,
Americans were shocked
that a country viewed as
oppressive would let the
decision pass. Although it
is unclear as to how much
weight the new rule will
have, it goes into effect
June 2018, the western
world definitely saw a
new side to Saudi Arabia,
or at least, reports of the
overturn did.
With the nature of
U.S. news leaning more
towards the approval of
Americans, it calls into
question how much is
actually accurate. “As
a
Caucasian,
western
protestant woman, I’m
hesitant to talk on behalf
of other woman, but I’m
wondering how much of
the news stories are just
for western consumption
and how much is actually
happening
on
the
ground,” said by Suffolk
University’s
Chaplain,
Reverend Amy Fisher.
Although the means
that the American people,
as well as the rest of
the Western world are
getting their information,
may be skewed, it’s
important to consider the
lives of others that have
this as a very real reality
and something that has
been apart of both their
religion and culture for
centuries, as described by
Reverend Fisher, “I hope
the [The Western World]
digests
the
nuances
within Islam itself, as
I believe it is the most
misunderstood
religion
by non-Muslims.”

ANTI-TERROR | FRANCE
REFERENDUM | CATOLINA
France’s parliament has passed a new anti-terrorism law that aims to
bring an end to a nearly two-year-long state of emergency.
The state of emergency began after the Paris attacks that occurred
on Nov. 13, 2015 when 130 people were killed by an assault by socalled Islamic State militants. It has been extended six times since it
was put into effect. The bill was approved with 415 votes supporting
it and 127 against it, with 19 abstentions. It is expected to become
law before the state of emergency expires on Nov. 1.
The law will allow members of government, instead of just judges,
to approve the confinement of individuals of their hometowns and
require them to report to police once a day. Authorities will also
be able to enforce security perimeters around at risk areas, such as
airports and train stations. People and vehicles within the security
perimeter will be able to be searched by authorities. The new bill
will also allow places of worship to be shut down if preachers are
found to be promoting radical ideology. A poll by France’s Le Figaro
newspaper found that 57 percent of French people approve of the
new law.
In response to Catalonia’s referendum this past weekend, King
Felipe VI of Spain stated in a televised address Tuesday that
the separatist government had acted “totally outside law and
democracy.” Trade unions led a powerful general strike Tuesday
that shut down businesses, highways and schools in a mass protest
against police violence during the region’s chaotic independence
vote. Spain’s national police and civil guard were sent to shut down
the referendum that was composed of nearly two million people in
support of Catalonia’s nationhood. Police were said to have been
beating voters with rubber batons and dragging them away from
ballot boxes. The polarization of the separatists and those that are
in favor of keeping Spain united grows each day. Regional President
and a leading secessionist, Carles Puigdemont said Sunday that
Catalonia had won “the right to independence,” and Monday he
called on European leaders to support the cause. However, Spain’s
European affairs minister, Jorge Toledo, claims that the crisis was
a Spanish internal matter and that any future discussions must be
between the central and regional governments.

STAGE RAIDER
Kyle Crozier / Senior Staff Writer
Will Grubb as Avery carefully lifts the lid to Pandora’s Box while Sam Fagone as Lara Croft warily watches.
Kyle Crozier
Senior Staff Writer
Filled with nostalgia,
action and humor, junior
theatre major Justin Smith
brings Lara Croft to life
in an original production
inspired by the critically
acclaimed video game
series, “Tomb Raider,”
in the latest installment
of the Suffolk University
Spotlight Series, “A Fish
Without a Bicycle.”
The
video
game
series
“Tomb
Raider”
began in 1996 with its
first
installment,
and
continues to produce new
chapters, with the most
recent “Rise of the Tomb
Raider” (2015). In a postshow interview with The
Suffolk Journal, student
director and playwright
Smith
explained
his
introduction to the series
with
“Tomb
Raider:
Anniversary” (2007), “I
just kind of fell in love
with it. It just seemed so
cool, to see her swinging
and climbing, rocking
those pistols, looking
badass, just so awesome,”
he said.
Starring five Suffolk
film
students,
the
production follows the
inspirational
heroine
Croft, played by junior
theatre major Sam Fagone
as she seeks to recover
three artifacts before
supporting
characters
Trent, played by junior
film major Sam Deans,
and Hawes played by
sophomore theatre major
Kaleigh Ryan, can retrieve
them. Croft receives help
from the inexperienced
and clumsy Avery, played
by sophomore theatre
major Will Grubb and her
butler, Winston, played by
sophomore theatre major
Justin Peavey. Adding to
the number of obstacles
in the recovery of the
artifacts, Croft and Avery
come into conflict with
several Guardians, also
portrayed by Deans, Ryan
and Peavey of the ancient
locations she visits.
Lara Croft as a character
is recognized as a strong,
independent adventurer
and the writing for this
play holds true to this
character model, as Sam
Fagone sprinted around
the stage wielding two
very shiny pistols as
Croft’s weapon of choice.
Smith described himself
as an intense supporter
of
women’s
equality,
which he focused on in
the show by flipping the
stereotypical roles of the
man and woman in actionadventure stories. In the
play, Croft is accompanied
by Avery, who Smith
described as, “basically
the damsel in distress,” as
he is constantly in need of
Croft’s help.
Due to external issues
regarding
scheduling
amongst cast members,
Smith
recalled
some
difficulties in following
through
with
the
suggested meeting times
for working on the
production. This forced
Smith to “make up the
schedule” as the weeks
progressed forward in
order to ensure that the
production
would
be
finished on time.
During
the
casting
process,
Smith
faced
several issues, including
the need to recast the
role of Winston, as well
as three actors cast for
the role of Lara Croft. The
original choice for the role
of Lara Croft dropped out
shortly after her casting,
and within the same week
the second pick dropped
out as well. Smith then
came to Fagone, a choice
that Smith described by
saying, “I don't feel like I
settled at all, she's really
taken a lot of initiative
with this, she's asked me
questions, she's tried to
arrange stuff, I never felt
like I had to make her do
anything, we were equally
invested in the process.”
Using
very
simple
images projected onto
the
backdrop
behind
the stage, as well as a
few unique props, the
play explored several

locations, including the
Czech Republic, Greece,
Italy and Portugal, all of
which felt like different
settings on stage. One
audience member, senior
sociology and theatre
major Olivia Lowe, said
that for her, the set and
costume design were the
most impressive features
of the show, as she could
tell that there was a lot of
thought put into it, and
that it must have been
very time-consuming.

A
“Midnight Ride” makes light of potential global nuclear threat
Amy Koczera
Asst. World Editor
Theatre is perhaps one
of the most effective
ways to articulate ideas
and opinions, not only
for the purpose of telling
stories,
but
also
to
communicate
powerful
and political messages
in a visually stimulating
way. In James Carroll’s
“Midnight Ride,” Carroll
paints a vivid, detailed
picture of United States’
first Secretary of Defense
James Forrestal and his
experience
managing
nuclear weapons in postWorld War II and the
effects of his decision
on the global, nuclear
progression thereafter.
Carroll’s
ability
to
integrate
non-fiction
history
with
modern
opinions and hypothesis
has essentially introduced
a
new,
simplistic
and
confrontational
emergence of theatre.
“Who loaded the gun
that Donald Trump is
now pointing at the
American future?” asked
Carroll in a question and
answer session with the
audience after the play.
This underlying question
is what Carroll attempts
to answer throughout the
play.
The
cast
of
five,
composed
of
Actors’
Equity
members
and
Suffolk
alumni,
took
their places on stage
at the Modern Theatre
on Monday night for a
staged reading of the
play. Portrayed as an
incredibly
intelligent
and thoughtful middleaged man, Actors’ Equity
member Benjamin Evett
played James Forrestal
with brusque enthusiasm
throughout the reading.
The
first
scene
opened with the naval
theme, “Eternal Father”
accompaniment
in
the background, while
projections of the Sept.
11, 2011 Pentagon attack
created a backdrop for the
actors. Quotes from Harry
Truman, Ronald Reagan,
the
Iliad
and
other
relevant origins were
intermittently projected
on the screen with the
change of each scene to
connect direct historical
references to the emotion
of each scene, making
each scene more relatable
for the audience.
Forrestal and his wife,
Josephine,
played
by
Amy Koczera / Asst. World News Editor
Left to Right: Nick Wilson, James Carroll, Nael Nacer and Robert Walsh
“I would love Suffolk to have a context for
this. It is important to have plays that talk
about political stuff like this right now.”
-Wesley Savick
Director and
Theatre Professor
Actors’ Equity member
Marianna Bassham, take
the stage dressed in classic
1940’s attire: Forrestal, a
classic dark gray suit with
a white shirt and a black
and white striped tie;
and Josephine in a long,
white and purple, floral,
collared dress with her
hair cut to a chin length
bob, framing her face
with loose, flowy curls.
The two engage in
an argument centered
around Forrestal’s nerves
about attending a cabinet
meeting at the Pentagon
with Secretary of War,
Henry L. Stimson, played
by Actors’ Equity member
Robert Walsh. Josephine
tells Forrestal that she
refuses to go to the
Pentagon, explaining that
she thinks it is haunted
and that it is, “Just
another
tombstone,”
effectively foreshadowing
the Sept. 11 attack.
Upon Forrestal’s arrival
at the meeting, he realizes
that Stuart Symington,
Under-Secretary for Air,
played by Suffolk 2006
graduate
and
Actors’
Equity
member
Nael
Nacer is present at the
Amy Koczera / Asst. World News Editor
Director Wesley Savick
meeting as well, much to
Forrestal’s
displeasure.
After a heated discussion
between the three about
how to deal with the
atomic bomb, they receive
a call from President
Harry Truman, asking
that he hear the plan
from Forrestal, ultimately
promoting Forrestal from
Secretary of Navy to
Secretary of Defense.
With the announcement
of this plan on Sept. 11,
1945, Carroll asserts this
as the beginning of the
nuclear arms race with
the Soviet Union.
“The facts of this
moment
have
been
driving the American
race,” said Carroll in a
post-show interview with
The Suffolk Journal. “The
course we took is fulfilling
the worst possible vision
of what was imaginable
at the time.” Carroll said
that he based the entire
play off of the moment
when the U.S. agreed to
give the nuclear bomb to
the United Nations.
Moreover,
Carroll
incorporated
various
references to modern
issues, such as North
Korea
and
ISIS,
by
utilizing Josephine, who
had legitimate mental
health problems during
her lifetime, as a character
that had “visions” of the
future.
His purpose was to
relate to what happened
in the past and evaluate
how the catastrophes of
the modern world were
rooted in the atomic
bomb decision on Sept.
11, 1945. For those
that had the privilege
of working with Carroll
during this process, they
found the overall process
extraordinary and quite
prevalent in the world
today.
“It’s
chilling
and
engaging and exciting
and
terrifying,”
said
Evett. “There’s a lot
that’s important here and
that needs to be talked
about.” Evett explained
that working with Carroll
was a very memorable
experience because he
has such an intimate
relationship with the play
which made the play itself
all the more powerful.
“Working with James
was an absolute delight,”
said
director
Wesley
Savick. “He’s such a
smart and passionate
man and he stays very
focused on the things that
matter.” Savick said that
he enjoyed the overall
process of being able to
work with “a friend like
James.”
Furthermore,
Savick hopes to see this
progressive
style
of
theatre utilized at Suffolk.
“I would love Suffolk to
have a context for this. It
is important to have plays
that talk about political
stuff like this right now,”
said Savick. He told The
Journal that he hopes to
see the play performed in
Washington, D.C. because
of the reflective nature of
the play unto the world.

Kneeling: A form of protest Senseless shooting:
When will the
US listen to gun
reform?
By Twitter user @proviewusa
The Jackson Jaguars kneeling for the National Anthem
Ryan Arel
Journal Contributor
The American flag
has long been a symbolic
image of the United
States, a symbol that
instills nationalist pride
to
many
Americans;
however, lately it has
been a symbol of the
nation’s faults as well.
Colin Kaepernick, a
former quarterback for
the San Francisco 49’ers,
set precedent for kneeling
during
the
national
anthem as a form of
protest last year during
a preseason game. The
anthem was first sang at
the 1918 World Series
between
the
Chicago
Cubs and the Boston Red
Sox, according to the
Washington Post. When
Kaepernick first kneeled,
the ambiguity regarding
his intentions was very
high, and he was subject
to huge criticism and was
maligned by the public
and the media.
Eventually, he went
on to tell the public he
was
protesting
about
racial discrimination in
law enforcement; “I am
not going to stand up to
show pride in a flag for
a country that oppresses
black people and people
of color,” Kaepernick said
to reporters last year.
The 49’ers had backed
the
quarterback
and
said, “In respecting such
American principles as
freedom of religion and
freedom of expression,
we recognize the right of
an individual to choose
and participate, or not,
in our celebration of the
national anthem.”
A common argument
that has manifested in the
middle of this controversy
is that players who
kneel are disrespecting
veterans. As a society,
we must acknowledge
the legitimacy of this
argument
to
show
contempt toward those
players who kneel during
the anthem, but we must
not forget that the flag
does not represent only
what our veterans do for
the nation. The American
flag, also represents our
history and all that our
country stands for. The
notion that the players
and coaches that are
advocating for or directly
participating
in
this
practice
are
indecent
human
beings
who
disrespect veterans is
shortsighted given the
reality.
As the 2016 season
went on, more players
followed suit, and this
season
players
have
continued this practice
as a form of protest.
The current controversy
regarding
President
Donald Trump’s tweets
toward the NFL and
its players has instilled
an upsurge in player
opposition toward the
president, amongst the
general public and players
themselves.
Between Sept. 22 and
Sept. 26 of this year, the
president tweeted more
than ten times regarding
the protest, calling on
Roger Goodell, the current
NFL Commissioner, to
“Tell them to stand!” in
a tweet on Sept. 23. The
surge went so far as to
encourage players to wear
or hold T-shirts on Sept. 24
that read “#IMWITHKAP”
in support of Colin
Kaepernick on the front.
Ever since the first
kneel, the media has
jumped on the issue, even
though it is not new or
worth the hype that it has
received, and has been on
every platform possible.
The
freedom
of
expression that Americans
hold close remains true,
even in a setting where
famous people such as
professional athletes are
subject to the criticism
of millions. Just because
some find it distasteful
does not mean it is not
protected
under
law.
Over
coverage,
mass
discussion, and the public
uproar has made the
kneeling a much larger
issue than it deserves to
be, causing people to feel
very passionately on both
sides.
It is possible to protest
something such as the
flag that represents a
country and its issues,
while still only trying to
bring attention to a small
part of it.
For example, a teacher
who goes on strike
against their institution
does not protest the
whole school, but merely
a single shortcoming that
cannot be ignored.
It is very easy to throw
other variables into the
equation to make it less
justifiably to kneel, but
we have defined from
Kaepernick
and
the
discussions as a nation
that followed the initial
kneeling that this form of
protest is geared toward
policy brutality and racial
injustice, and nothing
more. It is not worth the
constant coverage and
constant discussion. Since
we’ve defined what this
form of protest means to
the NFL, the public cannot
fixate on the fact that the
flag stands for veterans’
service and their service
alone, because it stands
for more than just that.
In a CNN article
published on Sept. 28,
Philadelphia Eagles safety
Malcolm Jenkins spoke
about the issue.
“This
is
us,
as
concerned
citizens,
trying to play our role
in a bigger conversation
about race in America,
a bigger conversation
about
our
criminal
justice system, and our
law enforcement,” said
Jenkins. “We’re not antipolice. Many of us have
worked
hand-in-hand
with law enforcement to
figure out ways to really
move us forward in a
better direction, to reinstill trust in our law
enforcement and to really
hold that accountability
and transparency that our
communities are looking
for.”
While there is an
argument to be made
that there may be a more
appropriate way for NFL
players to advocate for
the ousting of police
brutality, on a pragmatic
level, the players are
allowed to do it given
the first constitutional
amendment, and that the
NFL has no explicit laws
prohibiting it.
Trump has not helped
the cause, and with his
bestowing of more divisive
tweets, more players have
come forward.
In fact, three full
teams
boycotted
the
anthem,
except
for
Army veteran Alejandro
Villanueva who plays for
Pittsburgh, in response to
Trump’s tweets according
to Sports Illustrated.
Goodell stated, “I’m
proud of our league.”
Kneeling
for
the
national anthem should
not have created such a
controversy. It’s time to
start looking at the intent
behind the action, not the
action itself.
The
public
should
learn to respect one
another’s decisions and
instead
of
maligning
players for speaking out,
it’s time for the U.S. to
take actions to address
and inform the general
population on the issue of
police brutality and racial
discrimination, and the
public to stop drawing
conclusions about players
as people from it.
Only then will we see
all players standing once
again.

In the wake of the mass
shooting in Las Vegas that
tragically took the lives of
at least 59 people, and
injured more than 500
others, the controversial
gun
control
debate
is once again making
headlines.
Politicians
and world leaders have
offered their condolences
to the victims of the latest
tragedy.
On Monday, President
Donald Trump tweeted,
“My warmest condolences
and sympathies to the
victims and families of
the terrible Las Vegas
shooting. God bless you!”
Although these thoughts
may be appreciated, they
are not going to stop the
next mass shooting, and
certainly are not going to
save lives.
In 1996, 35 people
were killed and another
23 wounded in the Port
Arthur
massacre
in
Australia.
In the weeks that
followed this attack, the
Australian
government
introduced the National
Firearms
Agreement,
which outlawed semiautomatic
and
fully
automatic
weapons.
In addition to this, the
agreement included a
firearm buyback program,
which resulted in over
650,000 weapons turned
in to the government.
Since the agreement,
there
has
been
no
reported mass shooting
in Australia. Additionally,
homicide and suicide rates
drastically dropped as
well according to a study
done by Simon Chapman
of Sydney University, Au.
While America and
Australia are two very
different countries, there
are still tens of thousands
of Americans dying each
year as a result of gunrelated violence.
It is astonishing that
little has been done to
try and prevent these
unnecessary killings.
Since
the
Pulse
nightclub shooting in
Orlando, which killed 49
on Jun. 12, 2016, there
have been 521 mass
shootings according to a
report by the New York
Times.
That is an average
of more than one per
day since the Pulse
nightclub attack. Of these
shootings, at least 585
people have been killed
with an additional 2,156
injured.
What
options
are
there to ultimately stop
this problem? The answer
is not as cut and dry as
one would like to think.
Many people claim
that the solution to the
problem is more guns.
After the Sandy Hook
shooting which took the
lives of 27, including 20
children in 2012, NRA
Executive Vice President
Wayne LaPierre said in
a press conference, “The
only thing that stops a
bad guy with a gun is a
good guy with a gun.”
Would that have made
a difference after this
Sunday’s attack? Probably
not.
Even if everyone in the
pavilion had been armed,
the shooter fired upon
them from the 32 window
of a nearby hotel, making
it nearly impossible for
people to locate the
source of the attack.
Coupled
with
the
panic and hysteria that
immediately followed, it
would have been even
more dangerous if the
general public had also
been armed.
On top of that, if
the
concertgoers
had
attempted to use a
weapon in self-defense
during this time, they
would put themselves at
risk of being misidentified
as the attacker, which
would have led to more
confusion,
and
the
possibility of a higher
number of casualties.

Editor’s Word
It’s with mournful minds and heavy
hearts that we have to even write this. The
United States of America has been faced
with yet another inhumane tragedy, as Las
Vegas has fallen victim to a mass shooting.
Our thoughts and prayers are extended to
those affected. But thoughts and prayers do
not solve this epidemic, they don’t heal the
hearts of loved ones and they certainly do
not bring back the lives that have been lost.
Terrorism has no place in the world.
The conversation should not stem around
the debate of which acts of violence are
terrorism, whether domestic or otherwise.
Political bounds and agendas, the left and
the right, should not dictate how we talk
about a gruesome act such as this.
We need to solve this in the most
simplistic way possible, but yet the way
society struggles with the most. We need to
come together. We need to come together
as family and friends, as neighbors and
acquaintances, as citizens of this nation
and as people. Humanity has lost its sense
of compassion and empathy and has
in part shifted its focus on those doings
that should not be in the forefront of our
minds. Whether you support the second
amendment or not, whether you stand,
kneel or sit for the national anthem, all of
us have the ability to come together and
make a positive impact upon mankind.
It’s sad, to have to write about this, to
plead, to practically beg the public to come
together. But it starts in places where we
truly can affect change-- at our homes,
at our favorite department stores and
restaurants and around our campuses.
In a statement released Monday by
Suffolk’s Acting President Marisa Kelly
expressed her sentiments on behalf of the
university.
“This horrific act fills us with
unspeakable sorrow, and we mourn for the
lives lost. Our hearts are with the victims,
their families and loved ones, and we stand
in support of the people of Las Vegas.”
Alike Kelly, our entire staff at The
Journal aches for the people impacted by
such a tragedy. While the time to come
together to enact change is past overdue,
it’s even more vital to come together in
unity. As President Kelly said, we must
support those affected by this horrendous
act of violence. We must be an example of
compassion and empathy, as an example of
family. We must be here as someone to talk
to, someone to lean on and as a shoulder to

Rest in Peace to those who lost their
lives in Las Vegas, forever in our hearts.
O
Mass shootings should not be the norm
From VEGAS page 9
With few self-defense
options available, what
could have been done
to
prevent
such
a
devastating attack?
In order to prevent
similar
attacks
from
happening in the future,
legislation needs to be
passed in order to keep
dangerous weapons out
of the hands of those
who wish to use them in
malicious ways.
When police gained
access to the hotel room
where the Vegas shooter
was, the SWAT team
found 23 firearms, and
another 19 at his home in
Mesquite, Nev. according
to the New York Times.
How is it acceptable for
one individual to possess
such an obscene amount
of
weapons
without
raising any sort of alarm?
If people want to have a
gun for protection, there
is absolutely no need for
42 of them.
There
are
still
loopholes in America that
allow people to possess
guns
without
going
through
background
checks, such as if they
are purchased privately,
online or at a gun show.
One
week
after
the Orlando nightclub
shooting, four gun control
proposals were voted
on in the Senate, two of
which were put forward
by Democrats, and two by
Republicans.
Democratic California
Senator Dianne Feinstein’s
proposal would “let the
attorney general deny
firearms and explosive to
any suspected terrorist.”
Republican
Texas
Senator John Cornyn’s
proposal would allow
delays in sales to terror
suspects if the attorney
general could prove to
a judge within three
business days of the
attempted sale that there
was probable cause to
suspect the buyer had ties
to terrorism.
Connecticut
Senator
Chris Murphy’s proposal
would expand background
checks for anyone trying
to purchase a firearm
online or at a gun show.
Finally,
Republican
Iowa Senator Charles
Grassley’s
proposal
would increase funding
to the agency that runs
background checks.
All four of these
proposals were voted
down, according to the
Washington Post.
Now in the wake of
yet
another
tragedy,
people all over the
country are calling on
our government to do
something,
anything,
to change the direction
America is headed.
Mass shootings are
becoming the norm, and
they shouldn’t be.
Doing nothing is only
going to lead to the
deaths of more innocent
Americans.
It’s time the United
States tries something
different.

Don’t fill the swamp with Moore
Stiv Mucollari
Journal Staff
Roy Moore’s victory in
the Republican primary
runoff shows that the
right-wing
populism
that propelled President
Donald J. Trump into the
White House is still adding
fuel to the fire. Moore,
the former Chief Justice
of the Alabama Supreme
Court, defeated Luther
Strange, the incumbent
conservative senator who
was appointed to fill the
vacancy created by Jeff
Session’s confirmation as
United States Attorney
General.
Backed
by
the far-right Breitbart
website, Moore’s victory
has been hailed as a
further “drainage of the
swamp.”
While Moore does
not
belong
to
the
“swamp” of establishment
Washington insiders, he
belongs to a far worse
“swamp,”
filled
with
bigotry and hate.
Moore first rose to
national prominence in
2003, when he refused a
federal judge’s order to
remove a monument from
the state judicial building.
This followed with the
Alabama Court of the
Judiciary removing him
from office for refusing
to obey the federal court
order. However, Moore
would be elected again as
Chief Justice of Alabama
in 2013, but soon would
be suspended following
his comments urging
state
probate
judges
to ignore federal court
orders to issue same-sex
marriage licenses.
Beyond his blatant
disregard for the law,
Moore
has
shown
complete hatred toward
the LGBT community.
“Homosexual conduct is,
and has been, considered
abhorrent, a violation of
the laws of nature and
of nature’s God upon
which this nation and
our laws are predicated,”
wrote Moore in a 2002
domestic court case in
which he ruled that being
“homosexual”
would
make one unfit to be a
parent.
“False religions like
Islam, who teach that
you must worship this
way,
are
completely
opposite with what our
First Amendment stands
for,” said Moore in a
response to a women’s
question about Shariah
law, according to a report
by the Huffington Post.
Ironically, though Moore
makes
the
argument
that Islam teaches one
to worship in a certain
way, Moore’s brand of
Christianity that dictates
God’s supremacy over the
U.S. is also contradictory
of the First Amendment.
What is even more
abhorrent is that Senate
Republicans
were
concerned about Moore
defeating his democratic
opponent, former U.S.
Attorney for the Northern
District of Alabama, and
then criticized Moore
for his bigotry. John
Bresnahan, a writer for
Politico, asked numerous
Republican Senators of
what they thought of
Roy Moore. Of the 11
Republican
Senators,
eight of them claimed
that they had never heard
of Moore or were not
familiar with him. Only
one Senator, Jeff Flake
of Arizona, denounced
Moore.
“I’m obviously not
enamored by his politics
because that’s not the
future of the Republican
Party, that’s for sure,”
Flake said to Politico.
It is important to note
that Roy Moore is not a
conservative. Instead, he
represents the reactionary
elements
that
have
hijacked the Republican
Party. If Senator Strange
had won the primary, the
race between him and
Jones would have been
a cordial affair between
two respectable men who
differed on the types of
policies that best helped
the American people.
On the other hand, an
election between Moore
and Jones is symbolic of
the far right views that
are being entwined into
the mainstream.
Moore
stands
for
bigotry, hate and distaste
for the law. He even
allowed the League of
South, an organization
that
stands
for
an
independent
Southern
republic, to speak at
the headquarters of a
foundation he was once
running, according to a
report by CNN. It would
not be a stretch to argue
that Moore is sympathetic
toward the Confederacy.
When one compares
Moore to Jones, there is a
direct contrast. During his
time as U.S. Attorney for
the Northern District of
Alabama, he prosecuted
the last two Ku Klux Klan
perpetrators of the 1963
16th Street Baptist Church
bombing, which was an
act of white supremacist
terrorism that killed four
young African-American
girls. One might disagree
with Jones on policy
matters, but on a personal
level, one cannot help but
admire the man.
If Moore is elected,
another
rabble-rouser
will
join
the
ranks
of
the
Senate.
For
Massachusetts,
Moore’s
track record of calling
for a full repeal of the
Affordable
Care
Act
means the state again
will be in danger of
potentially losing federal
funding. Ideals, such as
equal rights for all, that
Mass. prides itself on will
face another opponent.
On Dec. 12, 2017, voters
in Alabama will send a
message. If they vote for
Moore, the message is
clear. A vote for Moore
is an endorsement of
hateful views that are the
opposite of what the true
principles of Conservatism
stand for, and what most
Americans stand for. As
an institution the Senate
is prestigious, and a
Senator Moore would be
a disgrace to it.

Restrepo opens Lady Rams net success
eyes league wide
Matt Geer
Journal Contributor

Sophomore forward Christian Restrepo
Kaitlin Hahn
Copy Editor
Hailing from Revere,
Massachusetts, boasting
a
team-high
of
11
points overall, Christian
Restrepo has become
a valuable player to
the Suffolk University
men’s soccer team. In a
season where the team
has strove to overcome
huge milestones, such as
beating
Massachusetts
Institute of Technology
for the first time since
1984, Restrepo shines as
both a reliable player and
a great teammate.
Restrepo has been
playing
soccer
his
whole life, mostly on
the competitive level,
and when it came time
to choose a university,
he was recruited to
play for Suffolk as an
incoming freshman. This
is Restrepo’s second year
playing for Suffolk, and
he said he has really used
this year to come out of
his shell and improve as
a player. This evolution
for himself has affected
both him and his team to
achieve a deeper level of
competition.
The Rams currently
hold an overall record
of 4-5 and are 1-4 in the
Great Northeast Athletic
Conference
(GNAC).
Restrepo
has
started
seven of eight overall
games and has scored
a total of five goals this
season, one being a gamewinning hat trick against
Emerson College.
“We
are
still
a
young team, but we are
definitely a step ahead
from where we were last
year,” said Restrepo.
Restrepo has proven
himself to be a valuable
player on the offensive
side. Restrepo plays both
the forward and midfield
positions, but prefers
midfield as he is able to
play both offense and
defense. As a forward in
soccer, the player’s main
focus is to score a goal or
help another teammate
score. This only makes
up half of a midfielder’s
role, as they are also
responsible for defending
against
the
opposing
team’s attempt for a goal.
Restrepo also recently
won the GNAC Player
of the Week Award, as
well as National Player
of the Week for the
United Soccer Coaches
Organization
on
the
same week. The GNAC
chooses one player in
the conference a week
to honor, while the
United Soccer Coaches
Organization
also
recognizes a player a week
for their accomplishments
on the field, however they
include multiple levels
of play as well as on the
national level. Restrepo
said he was shocked at
his back-to-back awards
and was unsure how he
obtained it.
Restrepo, like many
of the students attending
Suffolk, is a commuter
student.
Along
with
thinking about the work
he has to do for a fullschedule of classes as a
sports marketing major,
Restrepo also has to
prepare for a full week of
practices, and for him that
means having to think
about what is needed
for both academics and
soccer when gearing up
for the everyday.
“It’s tough because I
have to bring both school
stuff and soccer stuff, it's
worth it though,” said
Restrepo.
The balance of soccer
and classes has definitely
worked out for Restrepo,
as he has been able to
be both successful on
the field, with his many
awards for himself, as
well as, being supportive
for his team to be the best
teammate he could be.
“I
love
[Restrepo],
he’s a great listener
and teammate. He does
whatever he has to do to
help the team win,” said
Captain Jarrett Davis in
an interview with The
Journal.
Restrepo’s dedication
to soccer, as well as sports
as a whole, goes beyond
just playing for Suffolk,
he hopes to continue
with his sports marketing
major once out of Suffolk
by either seizing the
opportunity to play soccer
if it is presented.
“I challenged him to
win ‘Player of the Year’
earlier in the season and
he’s looking well on his
way to coming into that
promise. In the future
if he keeps this up, who
knows what will happen;
only good things,” said
Davis.
Restrepo
and
the
Rams will take on the
Anna Maria Amcats this
Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.

Serving
a
threematch-win streak, Suffolk
University women’s tennis
team stands undefeated
against opponent Lesley
University
and
leads
the
all-time
series
against Albertus Magnus
Academy.
With
four
matches
remaining,
the Lady Rams hope to
advance the number of
wins for this season.
The Lady Rams lost a
tough 5-4 match against
Regis College on Sept.
27, which motivated the
team to bounce back
and motivated them to
dominate
in
multiple
matches
over
Lesley.
The Lady Rams took the
court and obtained an 8-1
victory over the Lynx on
Sept. 28, which ignited a
win streak for the team.
The Rams had another
dominating
triumph
over Albertus Magnus
on Saturday, with a final
score of 7-2, and then
beat Lesley for the second
time this season, 7-2.
Leading the charge
for the Lady Rams in the
first bout against Lesley
was the duo of Jacquelyn
Nakamura and Danlyn
Medou
who
defeated
these opponents in the
second doubles to the
tune of an 8-6 set. This
win helped even out the
score and set the tone
of what was a smooth
day moving forward for
the Rams. While there
were many impressive
singles
performances,
junior Delaney Dunlap’s
performance from the
one spot stood out as she
fought hard all the way
into a third set where she
defeated Lesley’s Caroline
Kiddie, 11-9.
As for the matchup
that took place against
Albertus Magnus, it was an
all-around commanding
effort from the Lady Rams
in the doubles section, as
the team swept all three
matches early in the day.
Senior Nakamura put
a bow on the win later
in the day and came
out of her singles bouts
victorious in straight sets
(6-2,6-1).
In their latest victory
versus familiar foe Lesley
on Monday, the Lady
Rams were able to extend
their win streak to three.
A
convincing
victory
in what was the team’s
second
meeting
with
the Lynx. Danlyn Medou
and Ahilya Malhourta
led the match off with a
doubles victories. While
it was close to later in
the competition, the Lady
Rams pulled away in
singles play. As the lineup
won four out of the five
head-to-head in singles
play, the team was able to
put the finishing touches
on their fifth win of the
year.
Now 5-4 on the season,
the Lady Rams look to
build off of a strong week,
since notching their first
win in Greater Northeast
Atlantic
Conference
(GNAC)
play
against
Mount Ida College.

how hard the [team]
competes and give it their
all every time they step

S
matches,” said Interim
Head Coach Matt Tiberii
in an interview with The
Suffolk Journal. “They
are improving with every
match.”
This is Tiberii’s first
year with Suffolk and as
the head coach for the
Lady Rams, however, he
does not lack coaching
experience.
Having
coached tennis for more
than 20 years, Tiberii’s
transition to Suffolk has
been a smooth one with
the support of the Lady
Rams and the trust that
they, in turn, ensue in
him.
“Coach
[Tiberii]
is
awesome. I remember
hearing the two most
important characteristics
of a head coach are
organization
and
motivation, and that’s
coach for you,” said
junior Emily Bean in a
recent interview with The
Journal.
Isabel
Rathlev,
a
multi-year veteran of the
team, said she looks to
give the team a sense of
leadership on, and off, the
court. She plays a pivotal
role for the ladies in her
final
season,
playing
first doubles as well as a
mix of second and third
singles. Like many of
the players on the team,
tennis has always been a
big part of her life. She
has played the sport since
she was nearly three and
a half years old. Growing
up with two parents that
played tennis, she said
it allowed for tennis to
really be a big part of her.
In the recent match
versus Lesley, she was
able to turn what was a
rough start to the day with
a doubles loss featuring
junior Elena Cisneros
Garcia, to back-to-back
singles victories from the
three spot, winning 6-4 in
both sets.
“It was a total grind
but I hunkered down and
got the ‘W,’” said Rathlev
in an interview with The
Journal.
The Lady Rams look to
build on what has been
an impressive stretch,
going 5-1 since the first
win of the year against
Wentworth. The Lady
Ram’s will travel to take
on Salve Regina University
Thursday at 3:30, with
the hopes of extending
their win streak to four in
a row.

Captain’s
Corner:
Nagri and
Martin lead
charge for
remainder of
senior season
Joe Rice
Journal Staff
The Lady Rams’ soccer
team, led by senior
captains Alex Nagri and
Jen Martin, are halfway
through the season and
plan to finish stronger
than the previous chase
for the title. In 2016, the
Lady Rams made it to the
Great Northeast Athletic
Conference
(GNAC)
tournament
semifinals
before falling to Albertus
Magnus
Academy
in
heart-breaking
fashion:
losing in double overtime
to end the season.
The
Lady
Rams immediately
struggled
out
of
the gate by losing half
of the games the team
competed in. The team
averaged 1.6 goals per
game, while giving up an
average of 2.4 goals per
game. However, the team
will have seven games
remaining, meaning there
is still much to be said for
this season. One potential
season-changing
game
occurred on Sept. 27,
when the Lady Rams
finally defeated Lasell
College for the first time
in the program’s history,
topping
the
tough
opponent 2-0 in stunning
fashion.
Second-year
captain
and
finance
and
accounting double major,
Nagri, grabbed the GNAC
Corvias Player of the
Week on Monday after
notching a three-goal
game against Nowich
University.
Monday’s
game ramped up her
season total of goals to
five on the year.
Captain
and marketing
and management
double major, Martin,
has found the back of
the net on four occasions
this season and has also
assisted on four goals.
Nagri discussed how
big the victory over Lasell
was by noting that it was
the Lady Rams’ goal to
beat this team since her
freshman year.
“They have been the
most dominant team in
our league for six or seven
years so it was definitely
a big deal when we came
out on top,” said Nagri.
“To finally do it as a
senior was unbelievable.”
Head Coach Darren
Lloyd chose the two
senior Lady Rams as
captains for this season
as both players have been
active members on the
roster for four years. Now
the captains will take on
the role of leading the
team by example, on
and off the field, with a
championship in mind.
“Playing
with
[Martin]
and
[Nagri]
since freshman year and
watching them develop
and grow into the players
and teammates they are
today has been a great
experience,” said senior
midfielder Erika Nelson
in an interview with The
Journal. “I couldn’t ask
for two better people to
lead this team.”
Martin also regarded
the recent victory over
Lasell. Martin said, much
like her co-captain, that
going into her first year
as a player it was the Lady
Rams’ main goal to defeat
the rival.
“We never [beat Lasell]
until this season, my last
season, and I couldn't be
any more proud of my
teammates. It was a big
moment for the whole
team, but especially [for]
us seniors,” said Martin
in a recent interview with
The Journal.
Martin said this win
displayed a lot about the
players and how they can
compete with anyone.
“We needed this win
to confirm to ourselves
and the whole team that
we are very skilled,” said
Martin. “We just need
to work hard and stay
focused to keep winning.”
Junior
defenseman
Melissa Adamo has been
playing alongside the
current captains for three
years. With a love for the
game, she chose to work
hard and play with her
fellow teammates.
“I think the captains
treat
everyone
with
respect,” said Adamo in
an interview with The
Journal. “Returners and
freshman are all held to
the same standards. We
all have high standards in
believing that we all love
the game.”
Nagri, not only a
captain, but someone who
is seen to lead by example
as said by Adamo, has not
lost faith in the team.
Nagri explained that the
Lady Rams had a rocky
start to the season due to
injuries and a low morale.
Despite the odds, she said
the Lasell game proved to
everyone that the record
does not show the Lady
Rams potential.
“I definitely think we
can feed off the huge
Lasell victory and be a
force to be reckoned with
in the league this year,”
said Nagri.
Martin,
much
like
Nagri, explained how this
win displayed a lot about
themselves as players
and how they are able to
compete with anyone.
“We needed this win
to confirm to ourselves
and the whole team that
we are very skilled,” said
Martin. “We just need
to work hard and stay
focused to keep winning.”
Martin
explained
the largest aspect going
forward this season will
be to stay consistent when
knocked down or far
ahead of the competition.
“Over the years, we
have been known to give
up if another team scores
a goal, or we start to not
play as hard if we are
ahead during a game,”
explained Martin. “Our
team needs to learn
that playing hard for 90
minutes
straight
and
never giving up is what
makes a team win.”
Nagri continued to
explain how she still has
large expectations for this
team.
“My goal this season
is to make a run for the
GNAC championship. We
shocked some people
last year and we did it
again just this week, so
we definitely have talent
to do it,” said Nagri. “If
we stay focused and play
every game like it is our
last, we can definitely
make a competitive run
for the championship.”
Nagri explained how
since the Lady Rams
finally beat Lasell, the
team has had a target on
its back. She continued
by saying that since
the team obtained this
“target,” they now must
battle until the final
whistle, regardless of the
opponent’s record and
standing.
Both captains have
strong faith in this team
doing big things for
the Lady Rams’ soccer
program.

the basement floors A and

Suffolk’s
TRIO

granted funds
Programs on third
cycle of funding from
DOE, will fund at

Senior Staff Writer
Last
week,
Suffolk
University
got
news
that they will receive
federal funds to extend
the
university’s
TRIO
Programs for the next five
years.
Institutions of higher
education and public and
private
organizations
that serve disadvantaged
youth may apply for
grants
through
the
Federal TRIO Programs
(TRIO). Nationally, the
TRIO program sponsors
eight different services.
Suffolk has utilized the
federal grants to fund
Upward Bound, Veterans
Upward Bound and the
McNair Scholars Program
which services 26 students
at the university.
“The TRIO programs
are designed to provide
support
services
to
first generation college
students, so we are
grateful that we have
been
refunded,”
said
Dr. Joyya Smith, the
Director for the Center
for Academic Access and
Opportunity. “We are
federally supported and
just got the word that all
three of our grants will
continue for the next five
years.”
On
Friday,
the
university hosted the 2017
McNair
Undergraduate
Research Symposium, and
Thursday, the university
had an open house to
provide information on
the TRIO program.

‘Religion in the news’ conversation leads on biases, coverage
Chris DeGusto
News Editor
Reception of news
media
across
the
country and the world
is diluted by the bias
and
personal
beliefs
of any audience. The
multimedia
companies
themselves
which
present today’s news are
not always guiltless in
their renditions either.
Oftentimes
certain
themes or undertones of
religion are embedded
in today’s newscasts and
publishings,
and
can
sway viewers, readers or
listeners into connecting
certain faiths to stories.
“Media has a different
culture in every country,”
said Ambria Kocia during
the
inaugural
weekly
discussion
entitled
“Religion in the News”
Monday in the Interfaith
Center.
Members
of
the
Suffolk community joined
Harvard Divinity School’s
Assistant
Chaplain
Samantha
Menapace,
who hosted the first
installment
of
this
conversation surrounding
the
questions
and
concerns students have
with today’s portrayal of
religion within the news.
Joined by Suffolk’s
university
Chaplain
Amy
Fisher,
students
discussed the problems
they view in today’s
media,
predominantly
the effects religion can
play. With a number of
natural disasters having
struck various parts of
the world recently, Kocia
said the news media has
not provided an adequate
amount of widespread
coverage, and has focused
on the idea of Christianrooted places such as the
United States instead of
airing extensive coverage
about areas such as
Mexico.
“Writing and receiving
the news is affected by
our religious beliefs,” said
Menapace.
It was a challenge
to find stories of those
civilians
around
the
nation and the world who
have volunteered their
time, or even appeared in
a heroic scenario to rescue
and assist those stranded,
Menapace said. She said
most stories portrayed
in the media she had
come across have honed
in on the tragedies, and
the ones that did display
certain acts of kindness
often involved a group of
able people meeting at a
Christian church as a type
of headquarters.
“A lot of times when
you think about people
doing good deeds it’s
often connected with
Christianity,”
said
Menapace.
She said she believes
it is important to take
out biases and tendencies
in the media that may
direct or guide audiences
toward
associating
a
certain religious view if
the facts do not allot it.
=Menapace said while
the United States proudly
holds the freedom of
speech and press on high,
it is important to use
this freedom wisely and
accurately.
For this reason, Fisher
said she has tried to
diversify her personal
viewing of the news by
mixing up the outlets by
which she receives her
information.
Different
broadcasts,
social
media
platforms
and
newspapers, Fisher said,
while each telling a story
in their own fashion and
language, compiled can
create an accurate picture
of the days events.
While
religious
tendencies in the news
may
never
disappear
completely, recognizing
underlying
motifs
within the industry was
a point this discussion
was a prevalent point of
conversation. “Religion in
the News” will continue
next week.

technology,
Suffolk
University’s
McNair
Scholars were given the
opportunity to showcase
their summer research
projects.
“I know how important
it is for students of color,
first generation students,
to get the support. They
receive guidance around
doing
research
and
projects, and they are
talented, they know they
can do this. It will help
them to go on to future
graduate studies,” said
Dean of Students Ann
Coyne about the McNair
program.
After
applying
through
the
McNair
program, these scholars
had
spent
months
gathering research on
an issue that they found
a passion for, and were
provided resources that
otherwise would have
been inaccessible. Suffolk
Junior and Government
major, Darlley Joselus,
was able to spend two
months at Ohio State
University to complete
her project.
Her
focus
was
on
identifying
the
intersections
between
race, poverty and justice
in the public mind as it
relates to the perceptions
and
explanations
the
public has for poverty and
incarcerations in African
American communities.
Ohio State is a research
school,
classifying
it
as one of the highest
research activity schools
in the country, which
meant that Joselus had
complete access to all of
the tools she would need.
Joselus
had
been
accepted into the McNair
program just a couple of
months after she applied,
and rapidly began working
toward establishing an
out-of-state
research
opportunity.
“Ohio
State
really
resonated
with
what
I wanted to produce.
Their political science
department is the tenth
best department in the
United States,” Joselus
told the Suffolk Journal.
At the TRIO open
house
Thursday,
representatives
of
all
three of the universities
federally
funded
programs gathered to
give presentations on the
Upward Bound, Veterans
Upward
Bound
and
McNair Scholars Program.
“We just wanted to
share with people the
services we provide,” said
Smith. “For example, for
upward bound students
our main goal is to
prepare them for college
and it isn’t required for
these students to come to
Suffolk.”
Smith
explained
that the Upward Bound
program provides support
for high school students
that come from families
in which neither parent
has graduated from a
four-year university. The
program offers Academic,
college and financial aid.
It also provides SAT and
ACT prep courses and
takes students on college
tours.
Alexa Gagosz/ Editor-in-Chief
McNair Scholar and Biology major Taylor White explained her research project that
was conducted at Boston University’s Biology department on how wolbachia interacts
with host autophagy at the McNair Symposium on Friday.
The Veterans Upward
Bound program offers
similar academic and
financial
counselling
to the Upward Bound
program,
but
offers
additional
services
tailored to the challenges
that veterans face across
the country.
Members
of
the
Veterans Upward Bound
program at Suffolk get
access to G.I. bill benefits
counseling, including the
Post 9/11 G.I. bill.
“Our goal is just
to make sure they are
prepped and ready to
enter the college of their
choice,” said Smith. “
Whatever it is going to
take for them to get the
help they need.”
The Veterans Upward
Bound
program
also
offers
virtual
classes
throughout
the
day
to give participants a
convenient way to reach
their education goals
because most are working
adults as well as students.
Ellis Colleton, outreach
specialist for the Veterans
Upward Bound program,
attended the open house
and is a shining example
of the benefits that the
program brings.
Colleton served in
the Navy for four years
before using the program
to assist him as he earned
a
Bachelor’s
degree
in
Sociology
degree
from the University of
Massachusetts.
“I
was
looking
for a way to pay for
college,” Colleton said.
“Transitioning back into
having a stable place to
live was one of the hardest
parts
[of
returning],”
Colleton said.
According to Colleton,
the
program
offered
stability upon returning
to civilian life.
“I just tell my story
and how the program
helped me and I hope it
helps somebody,” he said.
Although the time
leading up to the news
that the university would
receive the grants was
stressful,
Smith
said
she believed that the
university is in a good
position to receive the
funds for the next five
year span.
“It’s always a process
that makes you a little
uncomfortable because it’s
a national competition,”
she said. “However, we
were very confident in
the applications that we
submitted and that we’ll
be able to continue the
program.”

Suffolk backs Obama action while DeVos ponders rollback
Chris DeGusto
News Editor
Just
days
after
suggesting changes would
be made to Title IX in a
George Mason University
speech,
Secretary
of
Education Betsy DeVos
rescinded
the
“Dear
Colleague” letter on Sept.
22, which has caused a
reaction from college
campuses
across
the
nation, including Suffolk
University.
“While we wait for
the U.S. Department of
Education’s [DOE] process
to be finalized, Suffolk
will continue to foster a
safe and inclusive campus
community that is free
of sex discrimination,
sexual harassment, sexual
violence and relationship
violence, while continuing
to provide a fair and
equitable process for all,
including resources and
interim measures,” said
Suffolk’s Title IX Director
Sheila
Calkins
in
a
statement emailed to the
university.
Calkins,
in
the
statement, noted that
Suffolk’s policies are in
line with state and federal
laws and regulations.
The “Dear Colleague”
letter, put in place in
2011,
during
former
President Barack Obama’s
administration
backed
Title IX and affirmed the
protections of students
from all forms of sexual
harassment. In place of
the previous procedures
under Title IX, the DOE

on
Campus
Sexual Misconduct, as
well a new set of interim
questions as the DOE
repealed the “Questions
and Answers on Title IX
and Sexual Violence” as
well.
The guidelines recently
set for universities and
colleges to follow until
procedural changes take
place offer the ability
for those educational
institutions to provide
feedback to the process of
adjusting campus sexual
misconduct procedures.
“It seems the language
[the
DOE
is]
using
now seems to be less
procedurally
focused
and more focused on
fundamental
fairness
for all,” said Dean of
Students Ann Coyne in a
recent interview with The
Suffolk Journal. “That’s
one of the things that we
at Suffolk are interested
in. We want to be fair to
our students. We want
to have policies and
guidelines that are clear
that tell students what
behaviors are expected of
them and what behaviors
have no place in the
University.”
Coyne said Suffolk
wants students to be
informed, and that many
schools are now waiting
until new resolutions
are adopted. At Suffolk,
Coyne said in order to
comply with government
standards, changes may
have to be made, but is
very comfortable with
policy that is “fair and
impartial and clear” to
students.
“Our commitment is
to be sure that we are
supporting victims and
treating all members of
the community fairly.
That is the underpinning
of our approach and
will continue to be,”
said Acting University
President Marisa Kelly
in a statement to The

Political Commentary
The hectic healthcare debate that continues to take a halt
Maggie Randall
D.C. Correspondent
The
most
recent
attempt to repeal and
replace the Affordable
Care Act (ACA), often
referred to as ObamaCare,
is the Graham-Cassidy
Bill. The proposal from
Senators Lindsey Graham
(R-SC) and Bill Cassidy (RLA) has used federal block
grants to let states shape
their
own
healthcare
policies.
The
Graham-Cassidy
proposal
was
halted
on Tuesday afternoon,
after
Senate
Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell
announced that there
would not be a vote. This
came shortly after several
republican
senators
announced they would
not vote in favor of the
measure.
The Graham-Cassidy
plan received criticism
across the board, from
late night talk show
host Jimmy Kimmel to
Massachusetts Governor
Charlie Baker. Kimmel
used lengthy monologues
on his show to point out
the flaws of the policy,
and even called out
Senator Cassidy for “lying
to [his] face.”
In a Senate Hearing
for the Health, Education,
Labor
and
Pensions
(HELP)
Committee,
Senator Al Franken (DMN) asked Gov. Baker if
the Graham-Cassidy Bill is
one that he would support
for Massachusetts. Gov.
Baker said no.
“The proposal would
negatively
affect
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts, and we
could lose billions over
the course of four or five
years,” said Baker.
Senator Rand Paul (RKY), who is a very vocal
opponent of the ACA,
announced he would vote
no on the Graham-Cassidy
Bill as he believes it does
not do enough to repeal
ObamaCare.
Senator John McCain
(R-AZ) announced on
Sept. 22 that he will
vote against the GrahamCassidy Bill. This came as
a surprise to some given
McCain’s
relationship
with Graham, whom he
has characterized as his
“illegitimate son.”
McCain asked that
instead the Senate should
spend their time working
towards
a
bipartisan
solution.
On Monday, Senator
Susan
Collins
(R-ME)
announced she would
be voting against the
proposal. In a statement,
the Senator said that
“Maine still loses money
under whichever version
of Graham-Cassidy bill we
consider.”
These three republican
“no” votes tipped the
scale against the bill’s
passage.
The U.S. Senate is split
52-48 with a Republican
majority,
necessitating
a few senators to vote
against the republican
caucus
on
certain
measures. Senators Lisa
Murkowski (R-AK) and
Collins
voted
several
times with the democratic
caucus when it comes
to republican efforts to
repeal and replace.
Senator McCain joined
them in July with his
historic
thumbs-down
“no” vote against the
Healthcare Freedom Act,
more commonly referred
to as the Senate “Skinny”
Repeal bill.
Some Senate democrats
have rallied behind an
effort led by Senator
Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to
pass S.1804 Medicare for
All Act; a single-payer
healthcare bill. Sixteen
Senate democrats have
co-sponsored this piece
of legislation, including
Senator Elizabeth Warren
(D-MA).
National Public Radio
had a detailed analysis
explaining
that
the
Medicare for All plan
would make the federal
government the “single
payer” of healthcare for
all American citizens.
The
bill
eliminates
cost-sharing
such
as
copayments, besides the
prescriptions of mostly
generic drugs.
Representative
John
Conyers (D-MI) has been
pushing for a similar type
THE Suffolk Journal
of Medicare for All bill
during every legislative
session in the House of
Representatives
since
2003. Analysts question if
there would be sufficient
government funding to
cover a Medicare for All
bill, even with increased
taxes.
The efforts towards
repealing and replacing
the Affordable Care Act
were a shared goal of
republicans throughout
the 2016 election, and
resulted in legislative
action in May. The House
of Representatives passed
the first attempt at
repeal and replace with
H.R.1628, the American
Health Care Act (AHCA).

The plan to unite small businesses with Suffolk opportunities
Nathan Espinal
Senior Staff Writer
After returning from
a failed business venture,
Emma Cabrera returned
to
Suffolk
University
to finish her degree,
motivated to ensure that
other
small
business
owners can benefit from
what she has learned. She
plans to build a network
that helps businesses
prosper and for students
to professionally succeed.
Cabrera began classes
at Suffolk in 2003 but
left to open her own
retail store that proved
to be successful until
2008 when the housing
market
crashed.
The
recession
forced
her
to close doors and she
returned
to
Suffolk
to earn her degree in
business administration.
The fellowship project
that Cabrera has worked
on is to build a network
of small business owners
with the resources that
Suffolk provides is being
funded by the Center for
Innovative Collaboration
and Leadership.
The inspiration for
this enterprise stemmed
from Cabrera’s experience
owning
a
business
and being a student at
Suffolk. When Cabrera
owned her store she
became an officer in the
“Main Street Community”
of Jamaica Plain, which
is a neighborhood-based
committee
for
small
business owners to gather
and discuss issues that
were shared amongst the
owners.
“There was a learning
curve. There were things
I did right and successful,
and some things I didn’t
do right,” said Cabrera in
a recent interview with
The Suffolk Journal. “But
that’s one of those things
of being a small business
owner
where
you’re
wearing multiple hats.
You don’t have all these
departments or subject
matter experts telling you
how to do things.”
Having been in these
various roles is what lead
Cabrera to collaborate
with Associate Professor
Dominic
Thomas and
Associate
Professor
Ilona
Anderson,
who
have both been asked to
fill advisory positions,
and the Marketing and
Communications Manager
for Interise Craig Panzer.
This
interdisciplinary
effort is developing a
protocol for businesses
coming to Suffolk with
one issue by providing
the owners not only a
solution, but a plan that
benefits the business in
more ways than one.
“It’s not just that
these businesses need
to hire people, that’s
easy.
Students
want
jobs and we can do
those
introductions,”
said Thomas in a recent
interview
with
The
Journal.
“They’ve
got
needs for project work,
content being written,
graphic design; all these
test experiences where
students and businesses
can get to know each
other.”
Cabrera asked herself;
as a business owner, how
does one get the kind of
information that allows a
proprietor to utilize the
resources that Suffolk has
Courtesy of Suffolk University
Emma Cabrera with Associate Professor Dominic Thomas
to offer?
“With
this,
we’re
trying to be full service.
We created the plan for
you and we can say to the
client ‘we have students
that, if you want to
implement this plan, we
can team you up with’
instead of just giving
them a plan for one issue,”
said Cabrera. “It’s about
building and maintaining
relationships.”
This
sentiment
is
shared with Panzer, who,
while working for Interise,
helps small businesses of
minority and low-income
neighborhoods, prosper
through
“Streetwise
MBAs.”
“Rather than build
a brand, we build a
network that closes the
gap. We’re trying to build
equity for small business
owners,” said Panzer in a
recent interview with The
Journal. “[With Cabrera]
we have a shared mission,
which is to build inclusive
and equitable business
opportunities.”

New law program
enacted for undergrads
Paleologos predicts polls with
95 percent level of confidence
Marty Walsh and Tito Jackson
to battle for Mayor’s office
Suffolk University has a brand new law major
for undergraduate students. The major, which
is based in the College of Arts and Sciences
will be taught in collaboration with the
Suffolk Law School. The new major will take
a new direction by incorporating different
perspectives such as philosophy, sociology,
government, and business. “Bringing together
all three schools with an interdisciplinary
approach to law will deepen students’
understanding of how the law impacts all
facets of life,” said Professor and Chair of
the Government Department Rachael Cobb.
In the Boston area, Suffolk has the only fouryear American Bar Association-approved
undergraduate program. Professor Cobb
believes that this new direction will “raise the
profile” of the program.
Suffolk University Political Research Center
(SUPRC) released a poll which places
Democrat Phil Murphy ahead of Republican
Kim Guadagno in the New Jersey race for
governor. Out of all those who participated
in the election, 44 percent of likely voters
are leaning towards Murphy while 25 percent
lean towards Guadagno. SUPRC has a high
degree of accuracy in predicting outcomes
with an 85 percent rating in predicting
straight-up winners. David Paleologos directs
the research done by SUPRC and has received
both national and international attention. To
determine the poll results for New Jersey’s
gubernatorial race, 500 likely New Jersey
voters were polled. The margin of error is
+/- 4.4 percent with a 95 percent level of
confidence.
On Tuesday, voters advanced Mayor Marty
Walsh and City Councilor Tito Jackson to a
faceoff in the Nov. 7 final election. Retired
police officer Robert Cappucci and health
care worker Joseph Wiley were defeated
by Walsh and Jackson in the preliminary
election. Walsh is seeking a second four-year
term. Voter turnout across the city was light.
Walsh is a recovering alcoholic and actively
supports addiction prevention and treatment
programs. Walsh gained national attention in
January when he promised to protect Boston’s
residents who were threatened by President
Donald Trump’s actions. Jackson served in

President
Donald
Trump’s recent verbal
exchanges with North
Korean Dictator Kim Jong
Un have driven North
Korea closer to initiating
nuclear warfare against
the United States and
essentially starting what
could soon become World
War III. North Korea’s
rapidly expanding nuclear
arsenal has evolved into
an increasingly dangerous
threat not only for the
U.S., but also for its allies.
Trump’s
antagonizing
threats and Kim Jong
Un’s derogatory backlash
have
made
things
personal
stimulating
exponentially developing
fear throughout the U.S.
“Trump should not
make this personal,” said
International
Relations
Assistant
Professor
Weiqi
Zhang.
“When
dealing
with
another
international leader, it’s
never a good idea to
make things personal;
this shows that Trump is
inexperienced.”
During his first speech
at the United Nations
last
Tuesday,
Trump
stated that the U.S. would
“totally destroy” North
Korea if they attempted to
fire nuclear missiles at the
U.S. or its allies, according
to
The
Washington
Post. In response, North
Korean
dictator
Kim
Jong Un called Trump a
“frightened dog” and a
“mentally deranged U.S.
dotard.”
The war of the words
continued
this
past
weekend when Trump
tweeted about Kim Jong
Un referring to him as a
“madman” and a “Little
Rocket Man.” Additionally,
Trump stated that if
these nuclear threats and
insults continue, “they
won’t be around much
longer.” North Korean
Foreign Minister Ri Yong
Ho later stated Trump’s
threats are enough to
constitute a declaration of
war between the U.S. and
North Korea, according to
The Guardian.
“This declaring war
story is not a new one,”
said Former ambassador
Jacob Geanous/ World News Editor
from Germany to North
Korea
and
Suffolk
University
Visiting
Professor Fredrich Lohr.
North Korea has been
known to make threats
declaring war in the
conducting nuclear tests
for almost a year now.
The communist regime
has been putting all of
their spending toward
building their arsenal, at
the expense of the North
traveling roughly 2,300
miles into space during
this past July. According
to military experts, if
the trajectories of these
missiles
are
adjusted
to a particular angle,
they are making these
aggressive threats back
and forth to each other
in order to show off
their power, without the
intention of attacking one
another.
“When dealing with another international leader
it’s never a good idea to make things personal.”

past without following
through.
“There was a similar
situation in 2013 when
North Korea was making
threats to declare war and
conducting nuclear tests,”
said Lohr. However, this
situation
is
different.
“The
North
Korean’s
have a new missile that
may be able to shoot
U.S. airplanes down in
international
waters,”
Lohr said.
North Korea has been
Korean citizens. Starting
in February, North Korea
has conducted 14 ballistic
missile tests, according to
ABC News.
Their first successful
missile launch traveled
310 miles and landed
in the Sea of Japan.
Since their first launch,
North Korea has been
pushing the envelope
with their nuclear tests.
They began launching
intercontinental ballistic
missiles
(ICBMs),
it is believed that they
could potentially strike
Washington, D.C. or New
York, according to ABC
News.
“The North Koreans
follow a principle that
is not unknown to the
president,” said Lohr.
“If you give me the
perception of attacking,
then I’ll hit back twice as
hard.” Lohr suggestsed
that since both Trump
and Kim Jong Un are
inexperienced
leaders,
The U.S. is still in
the process of trying to
articulate the legitimacy
of these threats. According
to White House Press
Secretary Sarah Huckabee
Sanders, the assumption
that the U.S. is provoking
war with North Korea is
“absurd,” according to
The Guardian.
“Our goal is still the
same,” said Huckabee
Sanders. “We continue to
seek the denuclearization
of the Korean peninsula.”
While the goal of the U.S.
may not be to engage
in
nuclear
warfare
with North Korea, it is
important
for
Trump
to gain awareness of
the power behind the
statements,
even
the
tweets he makes as
the U.S. president and
particularly
how
a
country as unstable as
North Korea can interpret
those statements.
“The world should
forget
about
total
denuclearization in North
Korea because it’s not
going to happen,” said
Zhang. “Based on what
happened
to
Saddam
Hussein a few years ago,
it’s irrational for them
to give up their nukes.
We should accept that
North Korea is a nuclear
capable state and then
work harder on how to
deal with it.”
“Kim
Jong
Un’s
response to Trump is
unrealistic,” said Zhang.
“The escalation of these
threats
is
mostly
a
negotiation tactic.” Zhang
explained that Trump and
Kim Jong Un are engaging
in “The Chicken Game.”
“They are behaving in
a crazy way because they
are trying to force the
other side to back off,”
said Zhang. “There isn’t a
realistic level of conflict
here; no one wants
another war.” Ultimately,
the idea of another war is
unrealistic because North
Korea will probably lose,
according to Zhang.
“North Korea wants
to have their regime
recognized as legitimate,”
said Lohr. “The U.S. has
difficulties
recognizing
their
regime
as
legitimate.” Since North
Korea is still a communist
regime, the U.S. feels
that denuclearization of
the nation is best way to
prevent nuclear warfare.
However, it is possible
that throwing around war
threats is Kim Jong Un’s
way of moving closer to
negotiation with the U.S.
in hopes of achieving
his goal of getting North
Korea recognized as a
legitimate
communist
regime.

London attacks force Suffolk
students to recall time of terror WORLD BRIEFS
MEXICO | EARTHQUAKE
Last Tuesday, September 19, a 7.1 magnitude
earthquake devastated Mexico City. The
earthquake sent powerful, deadly tremors
throughout the city. The quake collapsed
38 buildings and there were reports of gas
leaks and fires. Currently, one week after the
disaster, 360 buildings and homes are in danger
of collapsing and the death count has reached
326 people nationwide. Residents fear that
there are still people alive trapped under the
rubble. Less than just two weeks ago, an 8.1
earthquake struck just off the Pacific coast of
southern Mexico. Scientists say that the same
large tectonic mechanism was the root cause of
both events. The U.S., Japan, Israel, Spain, and
nine other Latin American countries have sent
search and rescue teams and technical aid to
provide refuge for the country.

Emergency services attend the scene outside Parsons Green station
in west London after a terrorist attack in London
Elvira Mora
Journal Staff
The United Kingdom
has been targeted by
acts of terrorism five
times this year, although
London’s Mayor Sadiq
Khan told multiple news
outlets that spolice has
stopped seven additional
attacks.
The most recent attack
on London came on Sept.
15, when a bomb wrapped
in a grocery bag placed in
a bucket exploded in the
subway system during the
morning commute. No
deaths were reported and
30 people were reportedly
injured in the attack.
News of the devastating
explosion, just the latest
of the atrocities to face
the
country,
reached
Suffolk university forcing
students who recently
studied in London to
reminisce over the acts of
terrorism that occurred
during their stay. The
most
prominent
of
these was the London
Bridge terrorist attack,
which dominated media
platforms for months.
Terror struck a number of
pedestrians on the London
Bridge this past June, just
a ten minute walk from
the London South Bank
University (LSBU) where
approximately
18,000
students
reside
and
attend class.
Hannah Melissen, a
junior with a Sociology
major, studied abroad
for the first time in
London
last
spring
semester. She recalled
the days surrounding the
attack that occurred on
London Bridge, when a
van carrying three men
crashed into pedestrians
onto the bridge. After the
crash, the three assailants
proceeded to run into the
nearby shops and pubs
and slash people with
knives. Three people were
killed and nearly 50 more
were injured. Melissen
was headed back to
America at the time of the
attack, but recalled the
day that was punctuated
with concerned friends
and family.
“I was thankfully in a
plane headed home to the
U.S but a bunch of my
friends that I made were
still there so it was scary.
I’ve never been so shaken
in my life,” said Melissen.
“I had just landed home
so my phone was blowing
up from family members
trying to contact me but
I was trying to contact
my friends and it worried
me that they weren’t
responding because of
the time difference.”
The first attack in
Westminster,
similar
to the assault on the
London Bridge, involved
“
I was thankfully in a plane
headed home to the U.S but
a bunch of my friends that I
made were still there.
a man who plowed a van
into onlookers before
he stabbed a police
officer. The devastation
was roughly a twentyminute walk from LSBU
flats. The second attack
on the London Bridge
and Borough market was
about five minutes away
from campus and was a
frequent weekend spot
for many students.
Jenna
Palumbo,
a
junior double majoring
in
Marketing
and
Management,
studied
abroad
in
London
after years of travel
consideration.
“I remember I was
on the phone with my
mom and then there was
a knock on my door and
it was my three friends
who were getting ready
to go out informed me,”
said Palumbo. “My family
wanted me to get the
next flight home but I
didn’t want to let the
terrorists win, it is their
goal to make us live in
”
fear so I wasn’t going to
let that happen it was my
last week in London.”
The police responded
to a call about a white
van railing into a number
of pedestrians on the
London Bridge. According
to The Telegraph, a
newspaper stationed in
the U.K. reported the van
swerved off the road and
drove onto people on the
pavement.
“I personally felt safe
that I was in my room and
there was a police station
across the street. They
had shut down the street
the attack took place on,”
said Palumbo. “There
were police everywhere
nobody was allowed to
leave or come onto the
street but it made me
feel uneasy that I had no
control over what could
happen at any time.”

Saudi Arabia, perhaps one of the world’s
most conservative countries, will be allowing
women to drive for the first time beginning
next summer, 2018. Although neither Islamic
law nor Saudi law explicitly prohibit women
from driving, women were not issued licenses
and were detained if they ever attempted to
drive. Prince Khaled bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s
ambassador to Washington, feels that the
country is finally ready for the change. Aziza
Youssef, a professor at King Saud University
is very excited about the change. She, along
with numerous other Saudi women, feel that
women’s rights are being recognized and that
this is the first step in the right direction of
achieving social equality for women. In 1990, 50
women were arrested for driving and ended up
losing their passports and their jobs. Although
this decree does not immediately grant women
the right to drive, a committee will be formed
in June 2018 to look further into measures to
implement the order.
ISRAEL | PALESTINIAN
SHOOTER
On Tuesday, September 26, a Palestinian male
shot and killed three Israelis, two of which were
security guards and the other a police officer.
In Jerusalem, the shooter allegedly opened
fire on a settlement near where he worked.
The shooter was allegedly crossing a security
checkpoint when he started firing bullets. This
act of violence could potentially cause serious
issues to Palestinians who have work permits
in Israel. Not only will the work permits of the
extended family be revoked, but thousands of
Palestinians with work permits in Israel could
see their permits taken as well. The shooting
occurred just three days before the Jewish
holiday Yom Kippur, where Israel has seen their
fair share of attacks. Knife attacks; shootings
and car rammings have littered Israel around
the time of Yom Kippur. The militant group
Hamas has not claimed responsibility for the
attack, however it has praised it.
Correction:
The previous issue imprecisely stated that Ricardo
Hausmann has not yet visited the university to speak on
awareness of Venezuela’s situation; Hausmann had visited
last semester and plans on doing so again.

Suffolk Art and Design students settle into new Sawyer spaces
From NESAD page 1
Director Randal Thurston
told The Journal that
the move itself took
two months to fully set
equipment up “safely and
effectively.”
“Two full rooms on A
and B are not complete
yet because of water
damage,” said Suffolk
graduate and current
Woodshop
Manager
Jamezie
Helenski
in
an interview with The
Suffolk
Journal
on
Thursday. According to
Helenski, the damage was
not substantial enough to
warrant any kind of halt
to construction, rather
the damage delayed the
progress being made on
the space, furthering the
wait to access the area.
While the work on
the damaged space has
continued to progress
forward, the students
occupying the area are
still adjusting to the lack
of work space.
“It’s been a challenge
struggling for where do
we go and how much
space can we have,” said
junior Fine Arts major
Julianna Fielding. “We
had very few limits on
space at 75 Arlington
because we had two floors
and we just ran rampant
and as long as we stayed
within the building code,
we could just put things
everywhere and do art,
and no one questioned
it.”
According to Fielding,
the fine arts students
have considerably smaller
studio spaces than what
they are normally used to.
“We’re
working
through it, it’s just a
matter of getting used to
it and finding our space,”
she said.
According to Helenski,
simple tasks like setting
up shop equipment proved
to be more exhaustive
than predicted. Tasks like
running electricity to the
table saw when the room
didn’t have a nearby
outlet close enough to
plug into, or ensuring
that the dust collection
system ran correctly so
that students could work
safely and out of the way
of free flowing saw dust
proved to be more time
consuming than what was
originally planned for.
Haley Clegg / Photo Editor
One of the final corners of the basement in the Sawyer building waits
for further construction for the Art and Design Department.
“I’ve been here since
we moved. I’ve been here
all summer getting things
installed, servicing the
equipment and making
sure that it’s actually safe
for people to come in the
room,” said Helenski.
A similar struggle rings
true for graphic design
majors and the lack of
Macintosh computers and
computer labs needed to
complete
assignments.
According
to
Aditya
Patel, a senior graphic
design major, the new
space has come equipped
with mainly Windows
computers, a system that
doesn’t hold the same
programs
needed
for
those pursuing a career
in design.
“We used to have
[Macintosh
computers]
[in 75 Arlington] and
since we are an art and
design school, we rely
heavily on Macs, so when
I came here we had a lot
of issues using Windows,
and we still are,” he said.
Patel had expressed
concern in an interview
for new students coming
into the graphic design
program and told The
Journal that he has not
heard of any kind of
assurance
that
more
Mac computers will be
installed for the graphic
design students to use.
As a former fine arts
student, Helenski told
The Journal that they are
able to sympathize with
current fine arts students
and the new lack of space.
According
to
Foundation
Studies
Program Director and
Fine
Arts
Professor,
Randal
Thurston,
the
move is a welcome change
because of the integration
of the Art School onto the
central campus. While
Thurston acknowledged
the lack of space and
said he understands his
students’ frustration with
the move, he is ready to
move forward with the
progress that is currently
underway.
“When you move into
a new place and you have
an institutional memory
of where you came from,
you have to just put that
away and realize that what
you actually have to work
with is the space that you
have,” said Thurston.

A
Philidelphia-based Soraia shakes Allston
FENTY BEAUTY
SHINES BRIGHT LIKE A
DIAMOND
Jacob Geanous
World News Editor
Wednesday
was
a
night of firsts at O’briens
Pub, a hole-in-the-wall
punk rock club in Allston
that hosts live music
nightly.
Philadelphiabased rockers, Soraia,
began the first leg of their
international tour and
were preceded on stage
by The Endorphins, who
came together for their
first organized public gig.
O’Briens is the kind of
spot that you’d only go to
if you knew someone who
was performing or were
enticed by the thunderous
rock music inside. The bar
gets loud; so loud that the
bartenders sell earplugs
along with drinks that
can only be ordered
through eye-contact and
hand gestures. The walls
and wide front windows
quiver every time the
bands do anything more
lively than tune their
guitars. While this may
be a bit off putting to
someone looking for a
quiet drink, after a song or
two you forget everything
and get sucked into the
dark punk rock scene.
Soraia began their
tour with an energetic
set of original songs,
mixed with a few covers
frontlined by lead singer
ZouZou Mansour, whose
stage
presence
alone
is worth the price of
admission. Before the
show, the band waited
outside as Mansour joked
about what she would
do if she saw someone
in the audience wearing
earplugs.
“I'll rip them out
of their ears. I do beat
people up a lot,” Mansour
said with a smirk. “No,
It’s a loud band in a little
room, they're probably
just saving their ears.”
The band ended their
last tour in Allston and
was excited to begin their
new tour in the unofficial
music capitol of Boston.
“We picked [Allston]
as our first stop because
I’d rather come here first
than last. It didn’t get the
attention I wanted to give
it last time,” she said.
Mansour’s body shook
and contorted to the
heavy punk rock ballads
with more moves than a
game of chess, at times
hopping off the stage to
sing throughout the bar
“It comes from my
heart, my soul, and
the passion I have for
the
music,”
Mansour
Robyn “Rihanna” Fenty has
recently rocked the cosmetic
industry with arguably the
biggest launch of the year with
“Fenty Beauty.” The launch on
Sept. 8 left beauty bloggers and
enthusiasts completely shaken.
The line features a long-lasting
matte foundation which includes
40 different shades, primer, a wide
array of highlighters, mattifying
blotting powder and paper,
luminizing lip gloss, highlighters
and touch up brushes. Though the
product’s packaging may appear
simplistic, the product itself
emphasizes a diverse shade of skin
tones, attitudes and cultures.

explained that she writes
most of the lyrics for the
group.
The
bar
was
far
from full and kept a
consistent
crowd
of
about 30 throughout the
whole night. Most of the
audience was made up of
bands waiting to play, or
their subsets of friends
and fans, giving the night
a punk rock peer revue
feel. The small crowd size
didn’t have any effect
on the band who played
with absolute intensity
“I felt like I finally let
go,” Mansour said.
“It
was the first show we
had in a month. We just
wanted to play.”
Before Soraia, The
Endorphins
took
the
stage to play for the first
time in a public venue,
conveniently located only
blocks away from their
Allston apartment. They
treated the crowd to a
cavalcade of sleazy punk
rock with tinges of a west
coast surf feel.

They
played
their
newest single, Quicksand,
to wrap up their set. The
song, which debuted in
early August and peaked
in the 22nd spot on
the media-based rock
charts, was reminiscent
of Joan Jett’s heavyhitting
discography.

project between friends
who all worked at a
guitar center in Braintree,
Mass., at different times.
They had been working
together for about a year,
and then they were given
their first chance to play
their music for a crowd.
“We
just
emailed
a bunch people to get
the gig and our other
roommates do sound
here,” said Matt Bass, who
played guitar and sang
vocals for the band. “I’ve
been here a couple times,
I was worried about the
vocals because sometimes
you can’t hear the vocals,
but it went well.”
The Endorphins had
the musical posture akin
to many of the bands
come out of the Berklee
School of Music, but were
not professionally trained
to rock a stage like many
of the new bands in
Boston.
“We don’t have the
money for that, although
we do know a bunch
of them ” said guitarist
Jordan Scarborough, as
the band hung around
after their set.
The enthusiasm and
excitement that comes
with performing a real
rock gig was alive and
well in the local Allston
band and their faces were
plastered with the smiles
of young men who tasted
accomplishment.
The Endorphins took

Title
DeVos: A danger
to student safety
Michael MacRae
Journal Contributor
The
protections
afforded
to
sexual
assault victims are being
rescinded, as directed by
Secretary of Education
Betsy DeVos.
Given
initially
under
the
Education
Amendments Act of 1972
and expanded during the
Obama
Administration,
Title IX had previously
been under review by
Devos’s department.
All
educational
institutions, public and
private,
that
receive
federal
funding
must
abide by these laws.
In addition to these
protections
concerning
sexual assault, Title IX
covers
discrimination
on the basis of sex in
athletics, extracurricular
opportunities, tutoring,
dining
facilities
and
housing facilities.
The
motivations
behind DeVos’s intentions
are unclear.
Her
tenure
as
Secretary of Education
has been riddled with
ethics
violations
and
accusations of bribery,
that began with students
physically blocking her
first administrative school
visit.
Her
reasoning
is
derived from the belief
that falsely-accused men
and woman are greater
victims than those of
sexual assault.
While this decision
is reckless and cruel,
it reflects a broader
ignorance
that
had
previously
only
been
suspected.
Betsy DeVos is a
danger to the nation’s
public schools and now,
victims of sexual assault.
About one in three
victims
of
sexual
assault
report
their
crimes, according to the
Department of Justice’s
statistics.
When non-reporting
victims
were
asked
why they chose not to
report the assault, 20
percent said that they
feared retaliation while
a combined 26 percent
of individuals either felt
that the problem was a
personal matter or that
the police could not do
anything to help.
It is clear that society
has yet to advance to the
level of respect and safety
needed for a large portion
of sexual assault victims
to
feel
comfortable
coming forward.
Regarding
the
interests of those who
have been unfairly or
incorrectly accused of
sexual assault, a study
at the National Sexual
Violence Resource Center
(NSVRC) and a research
publication at Stanford
University both found the
rate of false reporting to
be between two percent
and 10 percent.
This stands at odds
with Secretary DeVos’s
responsibility to oversee a
department that enforces
compliance with these
education standards.
It is her responsibility
to see that educational

Trump’s hypocrisy concerns
the world, not just the US
Stiv Mucollari
Journal Contributor
Displaying
his
incoherent foreign policy
in front of the United
Nations General Assembly
last
week,
President
Donald J. Trump painted
a grim viewing of the
international system with
his remarks. Speaking
for the first time to the
General Assembly, Trump
avoided his trademark
over-the-top rhetoric.
“Authority
and
authoritarian powers seek
to collapse the values, the
systems, and alliances that
prevented conflict and
tilted the world toward
freedom
since
World
War II,” said Trump to a
room of representatives
from foreign nations.
Conversely,
Trump’s
statement highlighted the
fact that his inconsistent
foreign policy has distaste
for the same values;
systems and alliances that
he said were under attack.
“To put it simply, we
meet at a time of both
immense promise and
great peril. It is entirely
up to us whether we lift
the world to new heights,
or let it fall into a valley
of disrepair,” said Trump
to the U.N. In order for
the world to be led to
new heights, Trump has
to play a part.
First, it is hard to
take Trump’s assessment
of the threat posed by
authoritarian
powers
seriously.
Through
Russia’s annexation of
Crimea, its support of
the Syrian regime and its
interference in the 2016
U.S. Presidential Election,
Russia has shown to
pose the most significant
threat to the international
system. Yet, Trump has
a documented history
of
praising
Russian
President Vladimir Putin.
Trump reluctantly signed
a bill that imposed further
sanctions on Russia, after
it was clear that Congress
would have overturned a
potential veto.
Additionally,
Trump
has continued to deny
that Russia attempted
to
degrade
American
democracy
though
Russia played a part in
influencing it through
hacking and the spread of
falsified information. “The
Russia hoax continues,
now its ads on Facebook,”
Trump tweeted on Sept.
22. With the CIA, FBI,
and National Security
Agency concluding that
Russia did meddle in the
election, it is not wise for
Trump to go against the
conclusion of American
intelligence agencies. It
only adds suspicion to
Erdogan.
Not only is
Erdogan
responsible
for the depredation of
Turkish democracy, his
security officials attacked
peaceful demonstrators
on American soil in
May. During a side
conversation
at
the
U.N. General Assembly,
Trump called Erdogan a
“friend” and praised his
leadership, according to a
report by Reuters.
When Trump does
take a stand against
authoritarian
leaders,
“Trump cannot
continue to make
threats toward North
Korea on Twitter,
because the current
crisis has not arrived
to the point where
military action is the
only option left.”
Robert Muller’s probe into
the potential collusion
of members of Trump’s
presidential
campaign
and Russia.
Also, to call Russian
interference a hoax, is to
not recognize the threat
that it poses domestically
to the U.S. If Trump cannot
recognize the domestic
challenge, then he won’t
be able to confront the
Russian challenge abroad.
Along with recognizing
that Russian interference
was not a hoax, President
Trump
must
actively
oppose Russia on the
international stage.
Trump’s
praise
of
authoritarian
leaders
has also extended to
Turkey’s President Tayyip
his rhetoric does not
match the agenda of
his administration nor
that of his key foreign
policy figures. Trump’s
quip about “Rocket Man”
joins a list of comments
that have contributed to
an escalation of words
between the U.S. and
North Korea. His Secretary
of State Rex Tillerson,
Secretary
of
Defense
James Mattis among other
members of his cabinet,
has repudiated most of
Trump’s comments on
the matter. Each of his
advisors have articulated
a toned-down rhetoric in
the hopes of securing a
diplomatic resolution to
the crisis.
“I do think that on
occasions we’ve had to
clarify things-or show
what
our
intent
is.
Because in a certain
number of characters, it
leads to other questions,”
said Ambassador Nikki
Haley in an interview
with Glamour Magazine.
Haley’s comments were
about foreign dignitaries
who
often
brought
up Trump’s tweets on
international issues in
past discussions with the
U.S.
When the president
issues
a
threat,
its
adversaries know to tread
carefully. If they do not,
it implies that they will
be met with appropriate
force. Haley’s comments
on how she had to clarify
what Trump means when
he tweets, he damaged
America’s credibility.
Trump
cannot
continue to make threats
toward North Korea on
Twitter,
because
the
current crisis has not
arrived to the point where
military action is the
only option left. Though
Trump might think that
those
tweets
project
power and authority, all
the tweets serve to do
is squander America’s
power.
The
course
could
be reversed in a rather
simple manner if Trump
would
stop
tweeting.
Ambassador
Haley’s
work in the U.N. Security
Council to help convince
Russia and China to vote
for a new set of sanctions
is a reminder of the
effectiveness of American
diplomacy.
Trump would do well
to rely on his cabinet
members
more,
and
listen to their input for
guidance. In short, Trump
must practice what he
preached at the U.N.,
because foreign policy
cannot
be
conducted
through whimsical tweets
and
heated
rhetoric.
For in the realm of
international
relations,
credibility matters.

I am African-American,
I am black and I am a
woman. My culture is
the lense through which
I view the world. As a
black woman in America,
my culture and identity
is
often
disrespected
and appropriated. I have
grown accustomed to my
culture being stereotyped
negatively. Because of
this, it is my obligation
to be proud of where I
come from. As a black
woman and a student, I
feel that Suffolk has done
a great job academically
of creating a safe space
for me.
At the university, I
have a voice and I have
place to feel comfortable,
to feel equal to my peers.
I have been offered ample
opportunity to express
my heritage and celebrate
it.
The ideas and feelings
of the oppressive forces
within the United States
have
not
penetrated
Suffolk’s academic realm.
In class, at Suffolk
sponsored events and
clubs and organizations
on campus, I feel equal
and welcomed; I am a
student before any of
my other identities are
recognized.
However,
this feeling of equality
and acceptance does not
bleed into my social life
at Suffolk.
I am a minority and
because of this, many
of my classmates do not
look like me. We don’t
share the same cultural
heritage and outside of
class, I am reminded of
this everyday. The social
climate at Suffolk can
be tense due to students
who refuse to become
educated about social
issues, and to be respectful
to students with minority
identities.
This
is
especially disheartening
when Suffolk provides
diversity training through
the Center for Student
Diversity and Inclusion.
Even though Suffolk is
trying to create a learning
and living environment
that students of all
identities
can
find
comfort in, there are
some areas where Suffolk
has not done enough. To
an extent I feel isolated at
Suffolk, I don’t see myself
represented enough in
the student body, with
professors; I want to see
more people at Suffolk
who reflect my culture.
I wear my culture on
my skin, in my hair, my
clothing, the way I speak
and the way I worry about
how people will perceive
me.
Suffolk
has
the
opportunity
to
move
forward,
by
creating
a social safe space for
all students. By further
diversifying the student
body
and
teaching
staff. Suffolk should be
admitting more Black
students, to allow others
to physically see people
who share their identities
in a positive way, to bring
comfort and more of
a sense of community.
Even further, it would be
only beneficial to have all
Suffolk students partake
in an intense form of
diversity training, similar
to the alcohol education
that
freshmen
are
required complete.Suffolk
needs to not only provide
options for their students
but reach out to them.
I do not want to change
that due to the comfort I
feel knowing that people
will always know who I
am in the most definitive
way that I identify myself.
I want to change what
it means to be a black
woman, or seeing what
it means to be a black
woman through the eyes
of someone who is not of

Running to new horizons
S
Masch takes first strides as freshman by joining cross-country
Joe Rice
Journal Staff
Freshman
crosscountry runner, Hanna
Masch,
began
her
journey
at
Suffolk
University as a freshman
student-athlete this fall
semester.
Originally
from Guatemala, Masch
adapted to the American
way of life through
something she knew the
best:
participating
in
sports.
Masch was a boxer,
swimmer and equestrian
before she chose to
run
competitively.
In
addition, she went to
the gym on a daily basis.
This is her first year ever
running for competition,
and Masch said that she is
running on the team for
enjoyment.
In addition to running
for enjoyment, Masch
said that cross country
is a great way to meet
new people and that her
teammates and coach
support her every day.
The
Lady
Rams
welcomed Masch with
open arms. The team has
competed in two races
this season, the Roger
Williams
University
Invitational
along
with the University of
Massachusetts Dartmouth
Invitational. The Rams
finished sixth out of
nine teams in the Roger
Williams
Invitational,
with the second race
being an individual one
and was not scored.
From all the sports
Masch
has
competed
in, she says that crosscountry is the most
strenuous.
“I think [cross-country]
challenges me more. It
doesn't depend on anyone
else but yourself,” said
Masch in an interview
with The Suffolk Journal.
“You have to train like no
other sport.”
Masch discussed how
competing in Guatemala
is more relaxed compared
to in America.
“It's actually really
different,” she explained.
“[America] takes sports
way more seriously than
back home.”
Despite having little
experience
in
crosscountry, Masch has goals
set for the fall campaign.
“Get
stronger
and
become
better,”
said
Masch.
“Along
with
balancing my academic
life, because I'm still
adapting to this new life
Masch is undergoing
a semester of change: a
new country, a new sport,
and a new school. She is
not doing this unnoticed,
however, Head Coach
William Feldman had
nothing but kind words
for the freshman.
The thing that impacts
Coach
Feldman
the
most about Masch is her
infectious attitude.
“It's a pleasure having
“I’m still adapting to this
new life in college in
a different country.”
- Freshman Hanna Masch

country.”
Back in Guatemala,
Masch felt as though
she was unable to walk
around her city due to the
lack of safety. She really
enjoys being able to walk
around Boston without
feeling threatened by
those around her.
Hanna on the team. Every
team needs a Hanna,”
said Coach Feldman in
a interview with The
Journal. “She is always
in great spirits and lifts
everyone else up. She
doesn't take things too
seriously, and her sense
of humor is amazing. She
never fails to get a laugh
out of the team even
when they are hungry
and exhausted from a
work out.”
Masch’s role on the
team, as explained by
Coach Feldman, is one
that provides depth to
the roster, but Feldman
claims that her energy
provides even greater
value than that.
“Her
energy
is
infectious and makes 7
a.m. practices much more
bearable for everyone
else,” said Feldman.
Masch,
from
the
capital of Guatemala,
Guatemala City, said in an
interview that the culture
is different from the
United States, with the
largest culture gap being
the food. Masch claims
she is used to having sit
down meals, whereas in
the United States, she
feels the food is mostly
“grab and go.”
By running for the
Lady Rams’ cross-country
team, Masch has been
able
to
incorporate
herself into the Suffolk

culture. Not only has she
successfully
integrated
herself, but it is evident
through the words of her
head coach that she is
making her way.

and
her
teammates

to
continue
meshing
together when they race
at the Keene State College
Invitational on Saturday,

First down for Suffolk flag football
Ryan Arel
Journal Contributor
The Suffolk University
Co-Ed Intramural Flag
Football
League,
the
school’s most popular
intramural
sport,
according
to
Athletic
Director Cary McConnell,
will kick-off full swing in
early October.
According
to
a
Chicago Tribune article
published in 2016, flag
football is a growing
sport in the United States
by and large.
Given that Suffolk
University does not have
a varsity tackle football
team, intramural flag
football has provided an
opportunity for students
to participate in a team
sport.
“It’s
the
same
fundamentals
of
the
game without tackling,”
said
junior
assistant
captain Chris Parnagian
who plays cornerback and
wide receiver.
Suffolk
intramurals
have
consisted
of
intramural flag football,
basketball, and one day
tournaments of 3-on-3,
said Intramural Sports
Director Will Feldman to
The Suffolk Journal in a
recent interview, and are
open to all undergraduate
students to participate.
The first scheduled
game was supposed to
be Thursday, Sept. 21,
but was cancelled. The
regular season games
will
take
place
on
Tuesdays and Thursdays
during activities period
in October, and playoffs
will begin in November.
The games will be played
at the Boston Common
Baseball field, and the
season will run six to
eight weeks, according
to Feldman. However, a
game will be hosted on
Oct. 14 during Suffolk
Weekend for students.
The class of 2019 and
2021 will play on one
team, and 2018 and 2020
will play on another, with
10 students per class
each.
Students
who
are
involved in varsity sports
are often left struggling
to balance their schedule
with
their
athletic,
academic and personal
commitments.
“ I n t r a m u r a l s
allows students to still
By Facebook Suffolk University Family
participate in athletic
activities
without
having to make the
time commitments that
come with participating
on a varsity team,” said
Feldman.
Intramurals can be
attractive for students
who are looking to
increase their athletic
involvement, even if they
had never played a sport
before.
“I
wouldn’t
even
compare it at all to a
[National
Collegiate
Athletic
Association]
contact
sport,”
said
Parnagian. “A few bruises,
a couple scratches, maybe
a ripped shirt but at the
end of the day you gain a
sense of family and make
life long memories with
great people.”
Students are drawn to
intramurals at Suffolk and
other institutions because
these recreational sports
allow them to be a part
of a team, without the
strenuous workload a
varsity sport can levy.
It is an opportunity for
students who do not have
the time or desire to fully
commit to the rigorous
schedule of a collegiate
athlete but still desire a
team dynamic that being
on a sports team entails.
Parnagian said he enjoys
the “camaraderie.”
“Not
only
does
[intramurals]
provide
students with a fun way
to get exercise, but it also
is a great way to meet new
people and feel connected
with the university,” said
Feldman.
Freshman
baseball
player Nik SanAntonio said
being a varsity student
athlete is, “a challenge
because it tests how
responsible the athlete
is. It all comes down to
how well one can handle
pressure of succeeding in
a classroom, on the field,
or in the weight room.”
This year there is
a respectable number
of students projected
to participate in flag
football.
“We expect to see
large numbers of students
taking part this year,” said
Feldman. “We currently
have three teams signed
up
for
this
season.
Teams are made up of
7-10 players. Students
create their own teams,
and a designated captain
registers the team.”
The teams compete
with seven players on
the field, on offense and
defense, at any given
time.
The next game will
take place Thursday, Sept.
28.

McMellen up
for par in
15th season
Drives for GNAC Championship
Brooke Patterson
Sports Editor
Hannah Arroyo
Asst. Sports Editor
Bound
to
Suffolk
University men’s golf
program for 15 seasons,
Ed
McMellen
and
the Rams have made
nine
Great
Northeast
Athletic
Conference
(GNAC)
championship
appearances, and intend
to take the fairway in the
top five this 2017 season.
As
a
Professional
Golfers'
Association
(PGA) native, McMellen
was named head golf
coach in 2003 and has
continued to mentor the
team. The Rams enter
the 2017 season with an
11-member roster, eight
being underclassmen.
In 2010, McMellen
played
in
the
Mass
Chapter Spring Meeting
Pro-Pro at Myopia Hunt
Club in South Hamilton,
Mass., where he tied for
fourth place with a shot
of 62.
For the blue and gold’s
first match of the season,
at the Emmanuel College
Invitational,
McMellen
disciplined the Rams to
a second place finish
out of four teams, eight
strokes behind opponent
Wentworth Institute of
Technology.
“I think [McMellen]
has done a terrific job of
establishing our program
and providing stability
in New England,” said
Suffolk's
Director
of
Athletics, Cary McConnell
in an interview with The
Suffolk
Journal.
“He
has great numbers on
roster and they are very
competitive in the New
England Region. I think
that’s a credit to himself.”
McMellen has played
golf since the age of 10.
The
15-season
coach
played in high school,
as well as at Springfield
College and continued
his career as a PGA
professional for 20 years.
“My dad got me into
[golf] and I just fell in love
with it,” said McMellen
in an interview with The
Journal.
In order to become
a PGA professional, a
golfer must pass a golf
playing ability test, which
McMellen
successfully
completed in his first
try. An individual must
also take certain courses
in different aspects of
the golf world such as
rules of golf, tournament
management
and
merchandizing.
As a PGA professional,
15 years ago, McMellen
worked
at
Spring
Valley Country Club in
Sharon, Mass., when the
opportunity of becoming
Suffolk’s head men’s golf
coach was brought to
his attention. It was a
decision that McMellen
could not turn down.
“It’s hard to believe,”
said McMellen on going
into his 15th season with
the Rams. “The school
has changed a lot, for
the better, in the last few
years. There is a lot more
support for the coaches.”
McMellen also said
how recently the Athletics
Department has obtained
better recruitment tools,
and therefore has received
better
athletes
and
players. Suffolk athletics
has also given studentathletes access to more
useful equipment, such as
the newly reconstructed
fitness center, the Michael
& Larry Smith Fitness
Center.
“From where I started,
and where we are now,
we are more competitive,”
said McMellen.
McMellen said that he
struggled with coaching
at first because of the lack
of recruiting which took
the program down a level.
Fifteen years later, he has
been able to place the blue
and gold in the top five of
the GNAC championship
three times.
“[Coach
McMellen]
has got a very good
understanding
of
the
game,”
said
junior
returner
Stephen
Ferrante in an interview
with
The
Suffolk
Journal. “He definitely
has the experience and
mentorship.”
Having played under
McMellen’s
guidance
for the past three years,
Ferrante
said
that
although his coach is
a serious person, he
has taught him a great
deal about the in’s and
out’s of the game of golf
and has really positive
reinforcement for the
players.
For
the
future,
McMellen will plan on
sticking with coaching
at Suffolk as the Rams
continue
their
drive
for the GNAC title with
the intention of getting
the team to become
competitive on an annual
basis.
The Rams look to
obtain a winning record
for Coach McMellen’s 15th
season as they compete
in the Emmanuel College
Invitational at William
J. Devine Golf Course,
Franklin Park in Boston
on Sept. 27.

the truth is that the

current approach does
a disservice to everyone

Guiding students through undergrad
N
How upper administration adopted an evolving mindset to communicate with students
Nathan Espinal
Journal Staff
A
recently
widereleased
mobile
app,
Guide,
was
dispersed
to Suffolk University’s
u n d e r g r a d u a t e
population this fall so
students can stay updated
on important tasks and
milestones on-the-go.
With a simple user
interface, students are
encouraged to explore the
tools given through the
app and allows a student
to discover a new major or
view a class schedule. The
app currently provides
freshmen and transfer
students the opportunity
to succeed at Suffolk
through the “Journeys”
tab. This tab provides
several core “checklists”
that familiarize students
with financial aid, getting
involved on campus and
other important aspects
of the Suffolk experience.
“The concept around
Guide is the nudge
theory. You’re putting
information in front of
students around the time
that they need it and
getting their attention,
the “nudge,” to hopefully
follow through with that,”
said Assistant Provost
Katherine Sparaco, who
has overseen the Division
of Student Success, in
a recent interview with
The
Suffolk
Journal.
“It’s in the mobile space
where
students
are,
getting their attention
for any number of things
us administrators are
challenged with.”
Suffolk faculty and
administration
were
already
familiar
with
the
Student
Success
Collaborative (SSC), which
is an advising platform
designed by Education
Advisory Board (EAB) for
those in advisory positions
to be a greater resource
for students. The SSC
came through Suffolk’s
membership with the
EAB, an organization that
conducts and provides
research on colleges and
universities
on
what
the best practices are
for student success and
academic
processes.
Guide was offered to
Suffolk, along with fifty
other schools, to become
a resource that students
can use.
“We wanted to start
off with: What is it all
around the classroom
that we want students
to be aware of what they
should do, so they can
maximize their time in the
classroom,” asked Senior
Consultant for the Guide
app Madeline Pongor, in a
recent interview with The
Journal. “We found that
college students are used
to getting information
tailored to them through
apps. So we thought
why not have the college
experience through that
as well.”
Suffolk has a leadership
team
consisting
of
representatives
from
various
Suffolk
departments working in
conjunction with Pongor
to make sure the app
is as tailored to Suffolk
students
as
possible.
With all the feedback
from students and the
team working on the
app, the EAB and Suffolk
administration hope to
provide a more beneficial
resource
to
students.
Some of the long-term
plans, this team is working
on involve making the
app more inclusive for
upperclassmen
and
international students, as
well as other resources
that could not fit into the
time frame of developing
the app before it launched.
This decision, while
having
a
positive
reception,
has
been
met with some slight
pushback by students.
Some have expressed how
this is another app on this
list of apps that Suffolk
has provided to students.
“Guide is an invaluable
resource for incoming
students because it acts
like an advisor telling
them what you need to
get done. But there is a
need, I think from talking
with Suffolk students,
for an app that acts
like a one-stop-shop for
Suffolk University at an
institutional level,” said
Student
Government
Association Vice President
Yasir Batalvi in a recent
interview
with
The
Journal. “I can’t overstate
the importance of an
app like that. Blackboard
Mobile, Guide, Get Mobile,
Livesafe;
these
serve
invaluable purposes, and
I don’t mean to diminish
any of that by saying
we need a one-stopshop solution to some
of Suffolk’s connectivity
problems.”
Otherwise, Guide has
proven to be a successful
wide release for this
team. As of Tuesday,
despite
some
minor
bugs that affected class
schedules that have since
been fixed, no negative
feedback has reached the
team working on the app.
“So far, from face to
face
interaction
with
students we’ve had great
feedback,”
said
Linda
Bisconti,
Director
of
Academic Enhancement,
in a recent interview with
The Suffolk Journal.
As of Friday, Bisconti
said that of the 4,000
undergraduate students
who received the email to
download the app, over 20
percent have downloaded
the app.

From TITLE page 1
administration released
“Dear Colleague Letter.”
This memo from the DOE
cemented the precedent
that Title IX set, codified
the
protections
of
students
from
sexual
harassment in all forms,
free from discrimination
and affirmly criminalized
acts of sexual violence
on campuses across the
nation.
While
DeVos
said
that “acts of sexual
misconduct
are
reprehensible, disgusting,
and unacceptable,” her
insinuation that Title
IX’s current structure
disallows or prevents
universities and colleges
from adequately handling
instances where Title IX
cases apply has prompted
multifarious reaction at
Suffolk University.
Director of Title IX at
Suffolk, Sheila Calkins,
who previously served as
Deputy Attorney General
and as the Attorney
General’s Chief of Staff,
responded to DeVos’s
recent comments and
speculation that revision
of the amendment could
potentially
come
to
fruition.
“The
university
is
always going to want to
make sure that they help
students, and when a
students has experienced
something as as traumatic
as a sexual assault or
a domestic assault, the
university is going to
be there to assist that
student in any way they
can,” said Calkins in a
recent interview with The
Suffolk Journal.
Calkins assured that
Suffolk will continue to
provide resources to any
students who may need
them.
The Interfaith Center,
directed by University
Chaplain Amy Fischer, is
one of two confidential
offices
at
Suffolk.
Fischer works closely
with Counseling Health
and Wellness, the other
confidential office on
campus to ensure both
the privacy and wellbeing of students on
campus. The Chaplain, in
a recent interview with
The Journal solidified the
Interfaith Center’s place
as a dependable outlet for
students’ concerns.
“In my mind, whatever
changes are made in the
Title IX requirements,
if any, my role of
confidentiality and a place
for students to receive
pastoral counseling is still
applicable,” said Fischer.
The
Center
of
Counseling Health and
Wellness at Suffolk has
stood as an office at the
university, where it has
provided both medical
and psychological health
treatment for students.
Options for those who
visit the Center are
numerous,
and
for
students, having these
options allows choice.
Dr. Jean Joyce-Brady, the
Director of Counseling,
Health and Wellness, said
the focus of the Center’s
staff is to direct students
to the resources that
conform best with each
individual’s needs and
comfortability.
In the event of a
federal
revamping
of
Title
IX,
Suffolk
would be provoked to
revisit the policies and
procedures listed under
this amendment. Calkins
said students would still
be provided all resources
and assistance at the
university, which includes
interim-measures
in
order to ensure students
can continue without
hurting their education.
These interim-measures
include actions such as a
no-contact order, housing
reassignments, additional
education assistance, and
may also include making
sure they have access
to the counseling and
medical attention they
need.
Calkins
outlined
the various ways in
which
students
can
address issues of sexual
misconduct,
including
the Suffolk website tools,
the Title IX office email,
or by direct contact with
Calkins herself among
other methods that are
listed in Title IX Student
Handbooks as well as
online.
“Our goal is strickly
to support students and
provide advocacy and
support
for
studentvictim-survivors
of
sexual misconduct, but
we also have another
responsibility and that’s
to make sure that other
kinds of complaints are
resolved fair and equitably
and I think that’s one
of the things that Betsy
DeVos
is
concerned
about,” said Dean of
Students Dr. Ann Coyne
in a recent interview with
The Journal.
On the University’s
Title IX page, Suffolk
labeledsexualmisconduct
as “antithetical to
the mission of the
University” and that it
will be responded to with
diligence.

Remembering Nicholas Williams
N
Suffolk Law School reflects on tragic death of Dicta Editor-in-Chief
Haley Clegg
Photo Editor
Time and time again
we are told to appreciate
every moment and to live
each day as if it may be
our last. For most of us,
this is a simple reminder
to appreciate life, but
for Suffolk Law student
Nicholas Williams, this
was an everyday reality.
Williams
suffered
from
sarcoidosis,
an
inflammatory
disease
that took his hearing and
later affected his sight
and lungs and ultimately,
his young life. Despite
the pain his illness
caused him, Williams
never let it affect him.
He was thrilled to be
entering his third and
final year of law school
at Suffolk with hopes of
being a prosecutor after
graduation.
His
absence
this
semester
has
been
felt by students and
administration alike. In a
statement sent to the law
school community, Dean
Andrew Perlman spoke
of the spirit Williams
embodied.
“Nick was a constant
presence in the Law
School, always eager to
participate in student
groups and events. He
greeted people with a
smile and made everyone
around him feel welcome
and included,” he wrote.
“Nick also was courageous
and tenacious. He thrived
in law school, despite
some challenges posed
by deafness, and in doing
so, he showed everyone
the meaning of grit and
determination.”
Williams
was
an
officer in the Student Bar
Association, a member of
the Black Law Students
Association, and was going
to be in the law schools’
Suffolk Prosecutors legal
clinic this fall.
Despite the adversity
Williams
faced
throughout his life, he
was always eager to
take on new challenges,
such as resurrecting the
Suffolk Law’s newspaper.
Alison
Farquhar,
the
current Editor-in-Chief of
the Dicta credits Williams
with bringing the law
paper back to life.
“Honest to god, Dicta
would not still exist if
it weren’t for Nick. He
rescued Dicta from the
brink at the end of our
1L, assuming the Editorin-Chief
role
without
even being a staff writer
during his first year,” said
Farquhar.
Nick was passionate
about this project and
took the paper from
a budget deficit to a
surplus, and had the paper
publishing in print within
two
semesters.
“His
contributions to Dicta
cannot be understated,”
said Farquhar.
David Feldman, the
Director of PR for the
Dicta worked closely with
Williams and considers
him to be one of his best
friends. On Tuesday, he
spoke to The Suffolk
Journal about Williams’s
dream for Dicta. “Nick’s
mission was to resurrect
the law newspaper. And
he did! We made our
own website, doubled our
staff, got sponsors, and
had a big breakfast to
celebrate,” said Feldman.
“I want to keep it going in
his memory.”
Clinical
Professor
of Law Diane Juliar
was supposed to have
Williams as a student this
year. She spoke about
how determined he was
in life, despite the daily
challenges he faced. “He
didn’t let anything limit
his potential, and what he
contributed to the world,”
said Juliar, “He wanted to
overcome every challenge
so he could pursue his
goals and his desire to do
public service work.”
Associate
Dean
of
Students, Ann Santos
worked
closely
with
Williams as he went
through Suffolk Law.
“It was heartbreaking
that he had overcome so
much, and was here, he
was in his third year of
law school, he had made
it. Now his legacy is going
to be that utter sweetness,
his sincerity and caring
for other people that law
students sometimes lose
sight of” said Santos.
Santos
hopes
that
Williams’s life will inspire
others to go after their
dreams, no matter what
situation they may be in.
“He should be a model
for anyone who thinks
law school might be too
difficult because of what
they’ve struggled with
in the past or currently
going
through.
They
should try it if that’s what
they really want because
that’s what Nick did.” said
Santos.
Williams inspired fellow
classmates to be the best
versions of themselves,
even as they faced their
own challenges.
“In my first two weeks
at Suffolk Law, I was
beat up in Boston, a gang
initiation. They broke
my jaw and it was wired
shut for weeks. I couldn’t
talk, and Nick couldn’t
hear, so communication
was tough for us” said
Feldman. “I learned some
sign language, we passed
notes, but it was hard.
His strength and his
perseverance, that is what
got me through it.”
“He was one of the few
people I’ve ever met who
believed in me as a person
and told me so seemingly
at every opportunity.
Over the past year he was
an unrelenting positive
force in my life. He will be
deeply and truly missed by
the Suffolk community”
said Farquhar.
in a way nobody could
have expected.
Since
then
the
project has globalized,
inviting people to take
portraits as a way to start
conversations and tell
personal stories.
Since its start in
2009, Dear World has
photographed more than
50,000 people from all
over the world.
“We have stories of
love and loss and joy and
grief but it’s all beautiful
because it’s part of the
human experience,” said
Katie Greenman, a Dear
World storyteller and
photographer.
Sophomore business
economics major Justin
Agyemang came to the
event with an open
mind. “I had no idea
what to expect,” he told
the Journal. By the end
of the program, he felt
passionate
about
the
message he chose to share
with the world. He wrote,
“I never took it seriously”
across both arms for
his portrait. “This is a
message I need to let out”
said Agyemang.
On Tuesday, the Dear
World team held an event
for Suffolk students in
the Tremont Temple.
They shared portraits and
stories of the people they
have met since beginning
their project as well as
how far the project has
reached. Dear World has
photographed survivors
of the Boston Marathon
bombing, Syrian refugees,
and survivors of the Pulse
nightclub shooting.
“There are so many
important things in this
world and community is
one of them. After the
Pulse nightclub shooting,
the Orlando community
came out and love poured
in” said Katie Greenman
with The Journal.
After
the
initial
presentation, four Suffolk
students were invited
to take to the stage and
speak about the message
they wrote on their skin
and the story behind it.
Charlotte Cole, a senior
psychology major was one
of these speakers. The
message written across
her skin read, “Willy
Wonka never showed up,
but my hair grew back.”
Cole explained the
story of how she had
gone into surgery for
a
routine
procedure
to remove a bump on
her eye that persisted
despite
treatment.
When she awoke from
the anesthesia, she was
devastated that Willy
Wonka was not there to
visit her.
“As I cried over Mr.
Wonka’s absence, my
parents cried in the room
next door as they learned
that I had cancer.”
When Cole was first
asked to speak at the
event, she was hesitant.
“I was so surprised, I
thought I would be too
scared to get up there and
share my story, but then I
realized that everyone in
here has one that we can
learn from. It would be a
disservice for me not to
share mine and to expect
others to share theirs,”
said Cole.

N
Joyya Smith named new vice president:
After less than a year at Suffolk, Smith takes promotion
Haley Clegg/ Photo Editor
Joyya Smith
Chris DeGusto
News Editor
Dr. Joyya Smith has
found a place to both
“teach and learn” here in
Boston- namely at Suffolk
University.
Highered
as
the
Director for the Center
for Academic Access and
Opportunity roughly 11
months ago, Smith has
recently been promoted
to a new administrative
role as the Vice President
of Diversity, Access and
Inclusion this month.
Smith, who previously
worked
at
Georgia
Southern
University
was struck by a phrase
in Suffolk’s alma mater
during fall convocation
that referenced teaching
and
learning
as
a
symbiotic relationship.
“It just kind of stuck
with me. That’s so nice,
we learn and we teach,”
said Smith. “And I’m
thinking, well if we’re
singing this song then
how are we making sure
that we are [doing both].”
As someone who has
been selected to teach
CAS 101 and 201 this
semester,
Smith
said
she has enjoyed being in
the classroom in order
to have an opportunity
to hear the voices of
students first hand.
“In
a
teaching
situation you really learn
more than you teach,”
said Smith. “I’m grateful
for an opportunity to be
up close and personal
with
the
students.
Sometimes when you’re
in administration, you’re
not as close to students
because you’re helping to
make sure that the other
pieces of the puzzle are in
place, but I’m excited to
be able to serve in both
capacities.”
Initially, Smith worked
with Suffolk’s Diversity
Task Force, where she
said she was able to learn
how the university has
committed to ensure an
inclusive community and
championing diversity.
“I think it happens in
pockets and I think part
of my responsibility is to
bring all those pockets
together,” said Smith.
The Diversity Task
Force compiled a list of
recommendations for the
university, and Smith said
she is working alongside
Acting President Marisa
Kelly
in
order
to
determine which policies
and procedures to alter or
enact.
“It
starts
with
awareness,” said Smith.
“Sometimes we are not
aware that maybe we
aren’t being as inclusive
and
it’s
more
than
just race and sexual
orientation.”
She said awareness is
vital because oftentimes
the notion that inclusivity
is missing is not always
recognized. Smith said it
is more than just race and
sexual orientation. Ability,
college preparedness or
lack thereof as well as
first generation college
student status are all
important as well.
“There’s a lot of keys
that really make us think
of about diversity from a
number of perspectives,”
said Smith. “Being visible
versus invisible diversity,
of
being
sure
that
everyone that’s here feels
like they have a place that
they can exercise their
voice. And if they can
be comfortable enough
to learn something, that
they can go out into the
world and teach.”
While
at
Georgia
Southern, Smith’s activity
was closely tied with
the
TRiO
Programs
that
have
worked
with
first-generation
and
underrepresented
students.
These
organizations, both at
Georgia Southern as well
as Suffolk Smith said, will
“forever hold a place in
my heart.”
Since 2000, Smith had
been assisting to plan
Black
History
Month
and Hispanic awareness
events where she said in
a recent interview with
The Suffolk Journal she
helped to develop a group
of students that served as
diversity
ambassadors.
Smith also said she
was involved in the
programming of diversity
training and multicultural
awareness
while
at
Georgia Southern.
The transition from
Georgia to Massachusetts
has
gone
smoothly,
according to Smith, who
said she hit the ground
running. With her family
in Georgia, Smith said
she has visited typically
once every other month,
but has planned to take
time back home in the
spring to dodge the New
England climate-- her
most devious challenge.
Joked Smith of her
northern move, “That
first winter I was a little
Frozen Peach.”
Weather aside, Smith
said she hopes to work
closely with leadership
development programs,
so that she may teach the
next wave of those who
will enter the world and
educate others on the
subjects of diversity and
inclusion.
Suffolk clinches top spots on national ranking list for second year
From RANK page 1
according to a university
spokesperson. For the
2017 list, Suffolk topped
the region with 22 percent
international
students
among
undergraduate
enrollment.
For
the
2018 list, Suffolk fell
one
percent
in
the
number of international
students, which dropped
the university to seventh
place.
Boston
University
ranked fifth in this
same
category
and
Northeastern University
ranked behind Suffolk
in tenth place. Emerson
College did not rank
on the “Best National
Universities”
list
nor
the “Most International
Students” list, according
to the magazine’s website.
Emerson, however, did
place on the Northeastern
regional list, a list that
Suffolk used to rank on
before being considered
for the “Best National
Universities” list.
“It’s our incredible
diversity that sets Suffolk
apart, and it’s great to
see so many international
students choosing Suffolk
as a place to share their
amazing
experiences
and learn from those
around them,” said junior
economics major and
Vice President of the
International
Student
Association, Charles Tang,
an international student
from Guangzhou, China
to a Journal reporter on
Sunday night.
Alongside
a
large
international
student
population and offering
undergraduate
and
advanced
degree
programs
in
more
than 60 areas of study,
Suffolk is said to have
ranked due to smaller
class sizes compared to
other
schools.
Fortyeight percent of classes
that were offered last
year had fewer than 20
students and .2 percent
of classes offered had
less than 50 students per
class, according to a press
release by Suffolk’s Office
of Public Affairs.
“The latest U.S. News
rankings recognize the
excellence of a Suffolk
education
and
the
strength of our academic
programs,” said Acting
President Marisa Kelly in
a press release.
Suffolk
recently
partnered
with
INTO
University Partnerships,
an
independent
organization that recruits
and
expands
higher
education opportunities
to students across the
globe. Acting Provost
Sebastian
Royo,
who
has been a key player
in bringing INTO onto
Suffolk’s campus, hopes
that INTO’s efforts will
eventually enhance the
university’s rankings that
are based on international
student
populations

“The numbers have
been going down for the
last couple years which
is consistent with the
national
trend,”
said
Royo in an interview
on Monday. “Some of
it has to do with what
is happening in their
countries of origin. It’s
harder for families to
fund the immigration
of students abroad. The
hope is that with the
partnership with into, we
can not only stabilize the
numbers, but grow.”
“They
have
an
outreach that we don’t

respond to vast and
growing
international
demand for global higher
education,”
University
Spokesman Greg Gatlin
stated in a press release.
A six-person board
of directors will preside
over the newly formed
limited liability company.
The board is made up
of three representatives
chosen by INTO and
three
representatives
from Suffolk chosen by
Acting President Marisa
Kelly.
Senior
Vice
President for Finance
and Administration and
Treasurer Laura Sander,
Acting Provost Sebastian
Royo and Chief Marketing
Officer Dan Esdale were
chosen by Kelly to govern
INTO Suffolk, LLC, on the
university’s behalf.
Members of the Board
will oversee decisions
made by the company, but
in the case of a stalemate
between board members,
an agreement was made
that all academic and
admissions decisions will
ultimately be decided by
Suffolk’s board members,
while
marketing
and
recruitment decisions will
be decided by INTO if the
governing board cannot
reach a consensus on
pertaining issues.
The University signed
a 15-year contract with
INTO with the option to
extend the agreement for
an
additional 15 years,
Acting President Marisa
Kelly said during an
interview in August.
“I think that the goal
is to meet the target and
make sure not only that it
benefits us for 15 years,
but to extend it another
15 years,” said Acting
Provost Sebastian Royo,
who will be overseeing
the academic aspects of
the INTO partnership .
“It’s hard to imagine,
the record that they have
so far has been quite
spectacular,” said Royo.
“[INTO is] really excited
about the fact that they
are in Boston. They really
think they can bring
students to Suffolk and
Boston.
“I see us building
on our already strong
commitment
to
international education,”
said Kelly. “The fact that
students from Chelsea,
Braintree and California
sit in class with students
from around the world is
one of the ways in which
we can ensure they are
ready for the diversity
in the world they live in.
Fifteen years from now,
we will build on that
and have an even richer
international institution.”
According
to
the
release, INTO Suffolk,
LLC, will extend Suffolk’s
global
recruitment
potential
by
giving
the
university
access
to INTO’s network of
recruitment
staff
in
more than 75 countries
worldwide.
The
new
entity’s
expenses will be covered
completely
by
the
inaugural class of INTO
Suffolk, LLC, students, the
first of which will arrive
on Suffolk’s campus this
spring. After the expenses
of the new venture are
covered, the financial
profits of the third entity
company will be equally
shared by the university
and INTO, according to
Kelly.
“Rather than seeing
this as a relationship with
a vendor, this is really
about a not-for-profit
entity, Suffolk University,
coming together with a
separate corporate entity,
INTO, and creating a third
organization that will
support the educational
needs of international
students
who
need
additional
educational
training
around
the
English language,” Kelly
said.
Pathway courses will
be taught by Suffolk
faculty
to
students
brought to the University
by INTO Suffolk, LLC, to
help them better their
English language skills
and prepare them for
university-level study. An
academic English pathway
course will be taught
to students that need
to ready their language
skills
for
Suffolk’s
degree
programs,
while
Undergraduate
and Graduate Pathway
programs will develop
student’s English skills
while they work toward
their respective degrees.
“INTO shares our deep
commitment to strong
academic programs —
Pathway programs that
prepare
international
students for the rigors of
a Suffolk education and
increase the prospect of
educational success as
students move through
them,” Kelly stated in the
release.
Suffolk
University
is the tenth American
university to partner with
INTO and the first in New
England-area school to
do so. Other universities
that have partnerships
with
INTO
include
George Mason, Oregon
State,
Washington
State,
Colorado
State
University and Saint Louis
University.
“They are going to
help us diversify the
international
students
so we have more from
different
countries,”
Royo said. “But at the
same time, the students
will be better prepared.
Through the pathway
programs,
not
only
will they improve their
english skills, but they
will be better prepared
for regular classes.”

Students flock to Suffolk from all corners of the globe
past
two
years,
while
Ryan Arel
the national average is
Journal Contributor
Every year, a new
class of students flock to
Boston from around the
globe to take their first
steps in college; for some
students, their first steps
ever on U.S. soil.
Approximately
153
international
freshman
and
58
international
transfer students will start
at Suffolk University this
year, according to current
Director of International
Admission Rafael Muroy
in an interview with The
Suffolk Journal.
Last
year
1,431
international
students
attended
Suffolk
according
to
Suffolk
University’s
website;
23
percent
of
all
undergraduate students
on Boston and Madrid
Suffolk campuses were
international
students.
The top countries where
international
students
came from this year
are
Vietnam,
China,
Venezuela
and
Saudi
Arabia,
according
to
Muroy.
Suffolk’s international
student
population
usually lies between 18
and 24 percent in the
around 9 to 12 percent,
according
to
Muroy.
Suffolk’s
international
student
percentage
ranked No. 7 in the nation
last year, and ranked No.
5 the year before. Suffolk
always thrives for a
diverse community.
“I think it’s part of our
mission, I mean, we’ve
always been a school
that considers itself an
international university.
We strongly believe that
we want to bring in a
diverse perspective,” said
Muroy. “We can’t rely on
just recruiting students
from Massachusetts or
just
the
surrounding
area.”
Suffolk’s
student
body consists of many
nationalities in and of
itself; in 2016, there were
71 countries represented
in
Suffolk’s
student
population.
There
are
a
lot
of
challenges
that
international
students
must
face
upon
their arrival, such as
distinctions in cultural
norms, language barriers
and navigating a brand
new
place,
although,
some
international
students arrive speaking
more than one language.
“Some of them come
with
good
English
language abilities, but
they haven’t been used
to doing everything in
English,” said Muroy.
“Getting probably used
to the American style of
teaching is something
they have to adjust to.”
Homesickness is also
a problem international
respective
countries.
Some
international
students say the social
dynamic of America is
entirely different from
what they are used to.
“Some things I felt
that were normal is not
here,” said Ruya Caglar,
a freshman who grew up
in Turkey. She has visited
the U.S. before coming
to Suffolk and she has
“We’ve always been a school
that considers itself an
international university. We
strongly believe that we want to
bring in a diverse perspective.”
- Director of International
Admission Rafael Muroy
students face, being much
further away from home
than American students
are.
“You’re
talking
a
homesickness factor that
is tough to encounter
because home is not even
like an hour plane ride
away,” said Muroy.
American
students
grow up interacting with
one another differently
than
international
students do in their
family in Texas. “This is
a little bit different for
me, like how everyone
acts...I haven’t had any
problems making friends
or anything.”
Along with the culture
shock, the laws in the
U.S. differ from the laws
international students see
at home.
“Here you get to
voice your opinion,” said
Calgar. “My father’s best
friend right now got put
in jail last year because he
had the smallest comment
about
the
[Erdoğan]
regime.”
Other students feel as
Boston, and its people,
speak more freely.
“People are very blunt;
they’re very open, and very
expressive about what
they think,” said Jeremiah
Fernandes, a sophomore
Media and Film major
studying abroad from the
U.K. He has never lived in
the United States before
attending Suffolk. Prior
to coming to the U.S.,
Fernandes studied at the
University of Westminster
in the U.K., where he
found the people he
encountered were “very
reserved.”
Students who come
from
vastly
different
living situations often
have a more intense
adjustment to city life
and the different types
of people in America,
in addition to the social
culture of the United
States. The switch from
living in other countries,
and moving to the United
States, can instill culture
shock.
Mario Lombardi is
from Peru, but lived in
Miami before moving to
Boston. He is a freshman
studying
Business
at
Suffolk.
“The US is much
more diverse in culture,
whereas Peru is majority
Peruvians,” said Lombardi
in an interview with The
Suffolk Journal.
Though
Suffolk
is
open to students on
an international scale,
prejudice is still an issue.
“The school is very
open and understanding,
but they can’t control
everyone else’s ideas,”
said Caglar.
International students,
along with many other
freshman undergraduates,
could agree that making
the move to Suffolk
introduces the struggles
of living on their own for
the first time. Whether it’s
in dorms or off-campus
living, the adjustment for
international
students,
and domestic students
alike, helps them become
more
independent
as
people as well as students.
“I have more freedom,
responsibilities,
and
challenges to face by
myself,” said Lombardi.

The
hopeful
cries
and yells for peace have
subsided in the wake of
an offer for Venezuelan
President
Nicolas
Maduro to engage in a
dialogue with those who
oppose him. The Maduro
regime has denied the
Venezuelan people their
most fundamental rights
by restricting food and
medicine.
A project launched
last semester by the
Venezuelan
Student
Union (VSU) partnered
with “Acción x Causa”
donated more than 320
pounds
of
over-thecounter medication and
medical supplies. The
supplies donated by the
VSU have been distributed
to more than eighty-two
religious organizations in
Venezuela.
Student Government
Association
President
Daniel Gazzani is also
an active member of
the VSU. Gazzani has
helped connect the VSU
to representatives that
have raised awareness of
the events unfolding in
Venezuela.
Ricardo Hausmann is a
professor of the Practice
of Economic Development
at Harvard University and
the current Director of the
Center for International
Development.
According to Gazzani,
Professor Hausmann will
be speaking on awareness
and what is happening
currently in Venezuela.
“His wife, Ana Julia
Jatar, a human rights
activist, will be speaking
about how she is fighting
for her brother who was
unjustly imprisoned,” said
Gazzani in an interview in
The Suffolk Journal.
Gazzani spoke in praise
of the VSU’s and hopes
the club can continue its
charitable actions
Alexandra
Aparicio,
vice president of VSU
and advertising major,
said she has enjoyed
being part of the EBoard
and
hopes
she
can
continue helping the VSU,
which has represented
Venezuelan pride and has
given her country a voice
from abroad.
“The VSU also stands
for being a glimpse of
hope and to provide
help toward the people
suffering
the
current
humanitarian crisis,” said
Aparicio. “The VSU is
well represented in the
university even though
we just started last
semester. Anyone who is
interested in our message
is more than welcome to
join.”
According
to
a
Venezuelan
newspaper,
“El Universal,” President
Maduro said there have
been at least a hundred
meetings with both pro
and
anti
government
groups, which began in
2016. Maduro agreed
to
meet
with
the
opposition on Sept. 27
when
six
countries:
Chile, Mexico, Bolivia,
Nicaragua, Paraguay and
the Dominican Republic
will become a part of the
discussion to form an
agreement.
“Acción
x
Causa”
has
partnered
with
numerous
universities
around Boston such as
Suffolk University, Boston
University, Northeastern
University,
Bentley
University,
Emerson
College, and Wentworth
according to the official
website.
“We sent it to an
organization
(Ayuda
Humanitaria
para
Venezuela) who is in
charge of distributing
it to the provinces that
need it the most in the
Venezuelan territory. We
know that our supplies
have been successfully
given to families and
organizations throughout
the
territory,”
said
Aparicio.
The VSU hopes to
launch the same project
again this semester, as
well as introduce new
objectives and deliver
different
goods,
such
as starting a toy drive
during the holiday season,
according to Aparicio.
“I would like for the
VSU to partner with
Accion x Causa again. The
organization is growing
in the greater Boston
area, therefore, people
can relate our club at
Suffolk to what Acción x
Causa does on a greater
scale,” said Aparicio.

for her passivist approach
to instilling democracy

became Myanmar’s state

in
2016,
according to CNN.

the

While the violence
against the Rohingyas has
become inflamed, these
events are hardly random,
for there is a long history
of violence against the
Rohingya
community.
Despite
having
lived
there for centuries, the

hardly acknowledges the
Rohingyas.

Of
the
extraordinary
amount of refugees, 60
percent

according to the United

As a minority, the
Rohingya have become
marginalized, so they do
not have the access to
the overall opportunities
that the majority has,
according
to
Suffolk
University
History
Professor and Director of
the Rosenberg Institute
of East Asian Studies,
Ronald Suleski.
Human rights groups
have
have
reported
instances of Myanmar
security forces, as well as
Buddhist vigilante mobs,
shooting Rohingya noncombatants as they fled
their villages. More than
1000 Rohingya have been
reportedly torched during
the conflict.
Hundreds of thousands
of Rohingyas have been
displaced and many others
have been killed either by
natural elements or by
members of Myanmar’s
military while fleeing
the systematic assault.
Many of those who were
lucky enough to escape
are currently camping in
refugee camps in India or
Bangladesh.
“In the case of the
Muslims, the Rohingya,
were always discriminated
against,” said Suleski.
The vast majority of
Rohingyas, a stateless
Indo-Aryan people, reside
in Rakhine, one of the
country’s poorest states,
according to Al Jazeera.
“Because
of
that,
they became a poor
community, so they don’t
have the people who run
the big businesses, the
big schools, have the
big money, or the big
influence,” said Suleski.
The Rohingyas are a
stateless minority living
in a Buddhist majority
country. The Rohingya
account for approximately
five percent of the roughly
60,000,000
Myanmar
population, According to
the Middle East Institute.
The
Myanmar
government has reported
“So [the violence is] completely
illegal from an international
legal perspective and even by
local Burmese law,”
- Professor Brian Kiniry
“If she starts coming out
and pushing against the
military they’ll find a
reason to arrest her or
who knows what they’ll
do.”
The recent catastrophic
events were in response
to a “clearance operation”
by the Burmese army in
late August, according
to The Guardian. This
particular act of targeted
violence had been issued
as retaliation against the
Muslim group after, “an
insurgent Rohingya group
attacked police outposts
in Burma’s Rakhine state,
and killed 12 security
personnel,” according to
The Independent.
While the Burmese
military have a right to
respond to the attacks
that they have received,
their
response
has
been
overwhelmingly
in 2014 the country’s
census did not recognize
the Rohingya and forced
them to identify as
Bengali, according to the
New York Times.
From 1842 until 1948,
Britain ruled over today’s
India and Bangladesh and
Myanmar was considered
a providence of India.
However, when England’s
control came to an end,
Myanmar,
India,
and
Bangladesh each formed
their own government.

are
considered

immigrants

Tapestries blew in the wind on the north side of Boston Common, staples of the Freedom Rally due to their vibrancy and variance
in color. Thousands gathered on the greens of the open space, served as appreciative and dedicated patrons of the art and
talent displayed by the vendors at this year’s “Hempfest.”

Vendors, performers and speakers alike congregated once again at the Freedom Rally to discuss the
legalization and recreational use of marijuana.

Thousands flocked to
the grassy knolls of the
Boston Common this past
weekend for the 38th
annual Boston Freedom
Rally, the second largest
gathering of cannabis
enthusiasts and activists
in the world, behind
Seattle’s
Hempfest.
Patrons of the Rally came
prepared for a weekend
full of art and celebration,
one in particular went so
far as to dress as a fully
fledged bud of marijuana.
The yearly event has
been organized by the
Massachusetts Cannabis
Reform
Coalition
(MassCANN),
a
state
affiliate of the national
marijuana activism group,
the National Organization
for
the
Reform
of
Marijuana Laws (NORML).
Colloquially known as
Hempfest,
the
rally
began in Northampton
in 1989, before it moved
to the Commons in 1992,
where it has been held
every
third
weekend
in
September
since.
While
inexperienced
participants likely did not
notice the difference, this
year’s Hempfest certainly
arrived with an extra air of
hype; it was the first rally
following the legalization
of recreational marijuana
use in the Commonwealth
last November.
This
year’s
Rally
featured two stages, both
of which were nearly
always
crowded
with
people watching speakers,
live acts and live DJs.
Those who congregated
by the Charles Street Stage
on Saturday were treated
to such acts as Mendo
Dope, a Californian hiphop group with electronic
influences and Over the
Bridge, an upbeat reggae
band from Gloucester,
Mass.
Over
the
Bridge,
hailing from the North
Shore,
represented
themselves well on their
home turf, playing songs
that matched the festival’s
easy-going and relaxed
mood. Songs such as,
“Wash” and “Something
in the Water” proved to
match the feeling of the
crowd with their upbeat
attitude

and overall positive
vibe. Over the Bridges’
songs are representative
of
the
feeling
of
summer, and with the
season’s ending quickly
approaching and Fall
upon us, the crowd and
the band seemed to
display a similar feeling
of disappointment when
the end of the set neared.
Compared to Mendo
Dope, with a sound
similar to that of two high
school boys attempting to
freestyle in the basement
of a house party, with the
parents patiently waiting
upstairs for everyone’s
grownups to pick them
up at 10 p.m., gave a
seemingly never-ending
45-minute set that can
only be described as
an absolute disgrace.
With tracks like “Now
I’m High,” and “Down
to the Roach,” the band
Haley Clegg / Photo Editor
should probably stick to
a “weed-to-know” basis
and perhaps consider
switching
to
parodic
performances.
For those who came
with money on hand,
a surreal bazaar was
constructed with vendors
selling a cornucopia of
products. Boston Smoke
Shop, a local favorite,
advertised alluring deals
to potential customers
from their pop-up shop
by the baseball fields.
Just north of the Parkman
Band Stand on Flag Staff
Hill, a row of psychedelic
tapestries fluttered in the
wind.
Hempfest can also
serve as a reminder that
archaic stereotypes about
smokers are just that.
Much of what attendees
consider typical would
have many questioning
whether or not they’d
gotten a contact high.
Businessmen
in
suits
paused to inspect videogame
themed
bongs;
parents could be seen
entering the park with
a child in tow; families
looked on curiously as
they took a stroll through
the
Common,
some
oblivious to the nature of
the event altogether.
Not
everyone
was
riding the high this
weekend,
however.
Question 4, the ballot
measure that legalized
recreational
marijuana
use was opposed by many
local politicians, including
Boston
Mayor
Marty
Walsh. Walsh came under
fire from organizers of
the Freedom Rally last
year after attempting
to revoke an alreadygranted permit, claiming
vendors
approved
by
rally
organizers
were
unlicensed,
according
to the Boston Herald. A
Massachusetts Superior
Court judge sided with
organizers in issuing an
emergency order allowing
the 2016 rally to go on as
planned.
As the weekend
drew to a close, the haze
dissipated from between
the trees, the crowd
thinned and the Commons
returned to its normal
traffic state, patiently
awaiting the return of
another
gathering
of
celebration and art.

Rap artist Chico Williams staking his claim in the Boston rap community
John Irizarry
Journal Staff
Considering that the
rap genre originated on
the East Coast, songs
from cities like New
York and Boston can be
considered as some of
the purest forms of rap
music. Rapping began
as a way to entertain at
block parties in the Bronx
because
urban
youth
had very few outlets to
express creativity. Since
then, the rap genre
has evolved overtime
and has taken on many
forms in many areas.
However, there has
been a sudden emergence
of hype in the Boston rap
community. Most notable
artists like Cousin Stizz
and Rosewood Bape have
put the city on the map
with their own brand of
clean spitting and gritty
street
style.
Rappers
like Stizz and Joyner
Lucas focus on tough
subjects
like
poverty,
drugs and crime. They
express their relationship
to such dark topics
in
their
unapologetic
and sometimes violent
lyrics.
These
vulgar,
yet popular themes are
further explored through
their
accompanying
music videos.
Cousin Stizz’s “Bonds”
follows a series of drug
deals; some that go well
and some that do not.
Joyner Lucas’s “Keep it
100” actually follows a
$100 bill as it circulates
through a seedy maze of
drug dealers, strippers and
the like. But along comes
a lyrically aggressive, yet
phlegmatic rapper by the
name of Chico Williams.
Williams' style consists
of brazen self-confidence
that's perpetually unfazed,
and tells the story of an
urban musician who will
not settle for mediocrity.
This attitude is best
seen in the hard hitting
"King without a crown"
or in the funky, head
bumper "Finer Things."
Aside from his confident
disposition,
Williams'
consistently fluctuating
flow,
well-fitting
use
of distorted ad-libs and
occasional
nostalgic
samples are what makes
his music so unique.
When a
rapper
can travel
between
styles, it’s a
promising
sign of
versatility.
When all tied together
with those qualities, you
have masterpieces like
"Daisy in Disguise" and
"Capt. Plan-IT." While
“Daisy
in
Disguise”
focuses on a relationship
and
“Capt.
Plan-IT”
outlines Williams’ “makeit or break-it” mentality,
both songs reflect the
rapper’s
admirable
level of self-awareness.
Williams’
musical
diversity is evident in is
his ability to cross the
line between new and old
school with ease. Many
rappers today either try
to bring back old school
vibes or go for a new
school style that makes use
of video-game-sounding
beats and smooth, direct
vocals. When a rapper
can
travel
between
styles, it’s a promising
sign of versatility. The
best rappers experiment
with
different
styles
and attempt to grow
from
beyond
their
original
material.
Judging by his music,
Williams does not have
a problem with change,
especially in terms of
sound
and
content.
“Music in my opinion
is ever changing,” said
Williams in a recent
interview
with
The
Suffolk Journal. “It’s like
a river, it goes in many

methodically I’ve become

everything...the
content is always going to
change based on what’s
going on in your life.”
Williams
echoes
a
sound similar to his
Boston
rap
brethren
in
terms
of
flow,
instrumental and overall
lyrical approach in songs
By Facebook user Chico Williams
like
"Stadium
Status"
and "Voodoo." However,
"Distance" combines a
90's boom-bap sound
reminiscent
of
Talib
Kweli, while retaining
a fairly modern chorus.
"Distance" also makes use
of the rapper’s ability to
switch between flows
from moderate to fast
without warning. While
one measure of a rapper's
talent is the speed of
their flow, it is refreshing
it to hear an artist
exercise
some
lyrical
rebellion and switch it up.
W i l l i a m s
acknowledged that he
drew on other Boston
rappers for inspiration,
“I support all Boston
rappers. I may sound
like some of them but
I’m not trying to sound
like them.” Originality is
certainly not lacking in
Williams but, although
he does not actively go
for the same style as
Cousin Stizz and Joyner
Lucas, having a particular
sound and identity to
match a geographical
area reflects the very
essence of rap music.
East
coast
rap
harnesses the power of
jazz beats bouncing to
the rhythm of Timberland
boots stomping around
a concrete jungle. West
coast rap can be described
as
a
high
pitched
synthesizer
whistling
through palm trees and
Doc Martin’s as they
hang from power lines
by a tattered shoelace.
However,
Williams’
defiance of traditional
east coast rap customs
provides a glimmer of
hope in the world of rap.
Artists making decisions
for themselves to keep
them as artists and not
puppets for a label. And
while repetition is nice
because the consumer
knows what they are
getting, it does not give the
genre a chance to grow.
Williams'
musical
method also incorporates
his
uplifting,
singing
voice that compliments
every hook it comes in
contact with. In many of
his tracks, Williams makes
use of his vocal abilities
to cool down the song
after his lyrics heat it up.
“King without a castle”
makes use of hard bars
and
uncompromisingly
relentless
lyrics.
But
when
Williams
sings
“what’s a king without
a castle / what’s a king
without a crown / what’s
a king without a throne /
just another man whose
down,” it signals the
release of pressure the
his lyrics built up through
content and sound. Each
one of Williams raps share
a common message: it’s
either now or never. For
the sake of the potential
legacy Boston can leave
behind in the world of
rap, let’s pray for now.

Extremists on the
political spectrum
S up p o rting A ntifa e mbol de ns t h e alt - r i g h t
Stiv Mucollari
Journal Contributor
The
recognition
gained from the “Unite
the Right” rally has seen
the left-leaning political
group,
Antifa,
gain
increasing support from
the
mainstream
left.
However, the implied
approval of Antifa by the
left is harmful towards the
greater cause of fighting
white nationalism. The
group styles itself after
various Anti-fascist Action
groups that sprung up in
the 1930s. These groups
were a failed attempt to
unite the left.
Due
to
the
confrontational approach
of Antifa toward members
of the white nationalist
movement, self-described
as the “alt-right,” the
left is tacitly embracing
Antifa.
The
primary
issue
with supporting Antifa is
that the confrontational
approach of the group
has gone beyond peaceful
means.
It
relies
on
violence to shut down
rallies and opposes views
that are the opposite of
their ideological leaning.
In Berkeley, Calif., a city
long known for stifling
the free speech right of
conservatives, Antifa had
turned a peaceful counter
demonstration
into
a
violent encounter.
The
Los
Angeles
Times
covered
an
encounter where antifascist protesters beat
Trump supporters and
organizers. While some of
the organizers of the antiMarxist rally had views
that would classify them
as being members of the
“alt-right,” not all of them
espoused views of hate.
One of the attendees who
was heckled during the
Berkeley protest was a
Latino man holding a proTrump sign, according
to an Aug. 27 report by
CBS. Members of Antifa
heckled the man, who
was born in Mexico.
Most importantly, the
violent actions of Antifa
in Berkley changed the
narrative of the counterprotesters from groups
dedicated to drowning
out hate, into an event
focused on the actions
of the vigilantes. In turn,
this allows the “alt-right”
to use the event as a
recruitment tool. Instead
of having the violent
actions of the “alt-right”
appear out of the norm,
the violent response to
them by Antifa legitimizes
political
violence
as
a tactic to be used by
groups
against
other
groups who do not share
the same political beliefs.
The U.S. had its history of
political violence before,
such as the Civil Rights
Movement
or
during
the Vietnam War, but
American history shows
that there are other ways
to combat hateful views
in American society.
Think of it this way:
how successful would
Martin Luther King and
the National Association
for the Advancement of
Colored People [NAACP]
had been if they had
relied
on
violence,
instead using the judicial
system of the U.S., and
non-violent actions of
civil
disobedience,
to
dismantle the system
of segregation in the
American South? Instead
of succeeding, the political
culture in the U.S. would
not have shifted in the
1960s toward supporting
measures such as the Civil
Rights Act or the Voting
Rights Act.
There are countless
means to oppose the
“alt-right”
while
also
condemning the actions
of Antifa. Organizations
that fight hate groups,
such as the Southern
Poverty Law Center, are
the types of groups that
should
be
supported
by
individuals.
While
respecting the right to
assemble, no matter how
hateful the groups can be,
individuals can make it
harder for the “alt-right”
to organize a rally. For
example, Airbnb deleted
the accounts of members
who the company believed
were looking for lodgings
in order to attend the
“Unite the Right” rally.
Following the “Unite the
Right” rally, attendees of
the event were exposed
on social media, which
led to some of them
being fired from their
jobs. If members of the
“alt-right” injure counter
demonstrators,
they
should retaliate not with
violence, but through the
civil justice system.
Making it economically
and socially unfeasible to
attend “alt-right” rallies
without
consequences
is more effective in
combating them than
engaging in violence.
Backlash to the “alt-right”
should not be met with
violence from groups on
the left. Hate should be
met with reason.

Athletics has the opportunity to increase pride
Halaina Leblanc
Journal Staff
Suffolk University is
seated within the spirited
city of Boston, but even
surrounded by the city’s
morale, it seems that the
Suffolk’s pride has been
lost.
The dearth of pride
within
the
general
population of Suffolk can
be in its lack of a defined
campus. Students do not
feel like they are on a
college campus, they see
themselves as being a part
of the city of Boston. This
causes students to pick
city events over Suffolk
events like ice-skating on
the Frog Pond, instead of
going to a Student Affairs
event.
Since Suffolk has an
unbound campus, the
sports team’s facilities
are scattered across the
city. This can explain why
many students choose not
to attend the different
sporting events barring
those that take place in
Ridgeway.
Even new students
who want to rally and
attend a sports event
may not feel comfortable
yet using the T, or the
silver line to reach these
different fields.
If Suffolk were to set
up group meet-ups in
the dorms or academic
buildings,
students
who don’t know where
they are going, or are
uncomfortable going by
themselves could get to
the games more readily.
It could even be as easy
as making the locations
and directions to get to
the sports games more
accessible to students.
This accessibility could
also be helped if the
University set up a shuttle
system to get students to
and from the games.
A
shuttle
system
could also be used as a
way for Suffolk to start
a transportation system
for surrounding areas if
students do not want to
take the T.
large part of the Suffolk
community
commutes
from home, and this
means they are only on
campus certain days or
hours throughout the
week, so they are limited
in what they can take part
“The dearth of pride within the
general population of Suffolk can
be in its lack of a defined campus.”
If
the
university
offered
the
shuttle
service for free, students
could start commuting
with other students and
a community can be
established,
all
while
creating a low cost for
students.
Commuter
students
struggle in a different
way to make a connection
with Suffolk. An extremely
in and join, especially if
they commute from more
than an hour away.
These students may
want to go to games, and
attend performing arts
shows, and even want
to join clubs on campus,
but they are not available
when
these
events
happen.
There are ways to take
part in Suffolk events
from afar by watching the
Snapchat story, seeing
Instagram
posts
and
even emailing the groups
about being interested in
joining. The problem is,
these substitutions don’t
create the connection
face-to-face meetings can
establish. To form a sense
of community at Suffolk,
a student needs to spend
time at the university and
for commuter students,
through no fault of their
own, don’t spend this
time on campus.
Suffolk could improve
this by live streaming
events on their social
media
accounts
so
students
who
cannot
make it can gain an
insight of what it’s like
to be involved. By doing
this, Suffolk would also
be increasing it’s social
media presence, which
is beneficial for the
university’s message and
students alike.
The university could
also improve commuter
students experience by
building
more
dorms
in the area that are at a
lower price.
In this way, Suffolk
could see an influx of
students
wanting
to
spend the extra money to
live on campus when they
otherwise would live from
home. The discounted
price would only be
available for commuter
students that live within
an hour of the campus.
Again, this would be
a good way for Suffolk
to create a sense of
community.
The only way Suffolk
pride in the student
population is going to rise
is if Suffolk starts putting
more effort in establish it.

O
Student safety abroad should
Editor’s Word raise concerns
Hello to all new and returning
Patrick Holmes
Opinion Editor
Suffolk students.While we are all as
unique and special as our mothers
told us we were, we all have one
thing in common.We chose to come
to Suffolk University: one of the
best universities in one of the most
educated cities in America. This was
a conscious choice that we all made.
Now it’s time to own it.
By choosing to come here we all
decided to make ourselves better
through education. This is a two-way
street, meaning we have an obligation
to take it upon ourselves to improve
upon the people we were when we
arrived. It isn’t just the responsibility
of the professors to learn for us. They
can’t pipe steaming, hot knowledge
right into our heads-- although most
would if they could. We must take
advantage of the resources and city
around us to mold ourselves into the
future agents of change this country
needs.
Sure, it’s easy to zone out to
Netflix once our basic classroom
responsibilities are fulfilled, instead of
learning something new. Sure, it’s easy
to ask mom or dad for money instead
of taking a low-paying internship.
But, that’s not the point.
There are millions of students stuck
in colleges in the middle of nowhere
without the opportunities we have.
Take advantage of them or resign
yourself to mediocrity.
The choice is your’s, but it won’t be
a choice forever.
-The Journal’s Editorial Staff
It’s time to start
rethinking how we view
Europe as a trendy travel
destination. Due to the
many terrorist attacks
and acts of terror, it’s
imperative to be wary
when planning vacations,
especially for students
studying abroad.
On Sunday, four Boston
College students were
subject to hydrochloric
acid being sprayed in their
faces at a train station
in
France.,
according
to BBC. Although not
categorized as a terrorist
act, it was committed by
a local woman with the
intent to harm others.
Due to the victims status
as students at another
Boston school, this hits
close to home and allows
the mind to wander about
how this could happen
to anyone, any student
studying abroad from any
university.
The United States’
Department of State has
issued a travel alert that
will be in effect until Nov.
30.
From the multiple
attacks in London to the
most recent in France, it
is obvious that travellers
should be more alert in
foreign continents.
Many
students
studying abroad travel on
the weekends to multiple
destinations
across
Europe, leaving them
vulnerable to random
terror attacks, which can
happen in known tourist
destinations,
major
transportation hubs and
shopping malls.
Suffolk
University
prides itself on having a
second campus in Madrid.
Can Suffolk do more
to ensure their safety,
even off campus?
It is easy to be
distracted
by
the
cultural
differences
and the curiosity that
accompanies
travelling
abroad, but this is no
excuse to let one’s guard
down when someone is
in an unfamiliar place,
especially
a
different
country. More often than
not, people who appear to
be tourists are targeted.
Suffolk has policies in
place to keep its Madrid
Campus students safe, but
that can only go so far if
students decide to travel
often across Europe.
These policies can
protect
students
in
Madrid,
leaving
the
students to their own
discretion on how to
protect themselves in
other cities and countries.
It’s imperative that
our university continues
to keep its students safe
and also teaches them
to
cautiously
travel
abroad. Moreover, it’s
important that students
take into consideration
their
mortality
when
experiencing
these
other cultures they so
desperately want to be a
part of.
The effected Boston
College students were
at a train station when
a random act of terror
reared its evil head in
their direction, meaning
that at any moment, acts
such as these can happen
to anyone.
Now more than ever, it
is mandatory to be aware
of one’s surroundings.
There
are
limited
resources to control these
terror attacks, so one
needs to be attentive and
alert.
London
has
been
subject to too many terror
attacks in the last few
months, and is a popular
destination for students
to go abroad and study.
Students should pick
and choose where they
should travel to based
on the safeness of the
destination.
Can
cities
across
Europe
create
safer
environments to prevent
these kinds of attacks?
Many areas in London
have begun putting up
cement barricades but
those can only do so
much. It seems that there
is no right way to stop or
end these acts, laeving
the public to take action
to protect themselves.
Unfortunately,
it
seems that Europe is
becoming
increasingly
unsafe and no matter
how hard they try to
prevent these attacks,
there is only so much
they can do. It is now up
to the general public to
take care of themselves
more and to attempt to
stop these attacks.
So, for students at all
universities, it is wise to
think twice before one
chooses study abroad.

Hagopian defends for Armenia
Clevis Murray
Journal Staff
Offseason for athletes
is
about
practicing
more, playing more and
becoming more talented
in
their
respective
sport. As for Michael
Hagopian, a guard for
Suffolk University Men’s
basketball,
he
spent
part of his summer as a
member of the Under-20
Armenian National Team
in Greece throughout
July.
This rare opportunity
had been in the works
since his freshman year,
said Hagopian, as the
Basketball
Federation
of Armenia kept tabs
on him throughout his
college career.
An invite was sent
to him in the middle of
his sophomore year, as
he ended the season for
the Rams, averaging 22.5
points in their final eight
games.
“I got a lot of
experience from playing
overseas,” said Hagopian
in a recent interview with
The Suffolk Journal. “I
learned a lot about my
game and how to improve
my weaknesses. I was
able to start every game
for Armenia so I really
had a good experience.”
The
6-foot-1,
170-pound Hagopian had
a breakout sophomore
season for the Rams in
the 2016-17 season, with
career-highs in points at
14.3, 12.2 shot-attempts,
a free-throw percentage
of 84.7 and field-goal
percentage
of
42.3.
Additionally, he became
the first Ram to record
back-to-back
30-point
games in over a decade.
“I started to play really
well, the best basketball
I've played, and they
thought I could really
help the team,” said
Hagopian.
He explained that this
was a possibility he just
could not turn down as
he would be able to visit
his home country, have
everything paid for and
play that sport that he
loves.
In the six-game period
with Armenia, in which
they went 3-3 in the nineday period, Hagopian
averaged 8.5 points, 3.8
rebounds and 2.3 assists
in 29.2 minutes per game.
He said that as he played
against competition from
outside of the United
States and saw playstyles
from other parts of the
world, his knowledge of
the sport expanded.
Hagopian’s Under-20
head
coach,
Vicken
Eskidjian,
saw
the
potential
and
talent
in
Hagopian,
which
led Eskidjian to trust
Hagopian as the point
guard position for the
team. The two only had
a brief time to prepare
for
the
International
Basketball
Federation
(FIBA) Under-20 European
Championships.
“He has the scoring
mentality, and he defends
too,” said Eskidjian in
an interview with The
Journal. “Even when he
wasn’t on the floor, I
knew he would make the
right decision. For me, it’s
not just about the scoring.
He reads the game and I
gave him the green light
to make more attempts.”
Eskidjian was a big
proponent of Hagopian’s
athleticism,
defensive
ability, physicality and
shot-making ability. He
explained what stood
out from the guard and
Watertown, Mass. native,
in comparison to other
guards on the national
team, was “him being
wiser.”
Eskidjian said that
Hagopian
showed
tremendous temperament
and a positive attitude
that stood out as he
faced the other European
players.
If
the
opportunity
presented itself, the idea
of playing international
basketball
at
the
professional level had
entered the head of
Hagopian.
“I feel like I learned
a lot about international
basketball,”
said
Hagopian. “If I ever have
the opportunity to play
professionally overseas, I
feel like I got a little taste
of that playing for the
national team. The style
of play is different.”
With
two
years
left of wearing jersey
number 10, Hagopian
said he is zoned in on
improving as a player
and helping the Suffolk
basketball
program
evolve, with its plethora
of underclassman. Also,
he is 463 points away
from reaching the 1,000
point plateau, a milestone
last reached at Suffolk by
Caleb Unni ’16 in 2016.
“I hope to bring
the same mentality as
representing my country
to Suffolk, and wanting
to make a name for
Suffolk basketball,” said
Hagopian.

Lady Rams on par
for season success
The second
season women’s golf team
had a major
break through for
the first time in Suffolk University
women’s sport
history. In the teams
first-ever home match, the
blue-and-gold were able to comeout
on top and grab
the programs first win.
As the roster continues
to grow, these Lady Rams
look to continue
driving the program
forward.
Joe Rice
Journal Staff
With a complete roster
of six girls, five being
underclassmen,
Suffolk
University Women’s golf
team started out their fall
season strong, with many
accomplishments already
in the books. The Lady
Rams have succeeded in
many program “firsts” so
far in their 2017 season.
Recently, the Lady
Rams won their first
competition of the fall
season and also collected
the first win for the
program with a 371-354
victory over Rhode Island
College (RIC) at the
Brookmeadow
Country
Club in Canton, Mass.
The
women’s
golf
team competed in its
first two-day competition
at the William Smith
Invitational hosted by
William & Smith at
Clifton Springs Country
Club on Saturday, where
the Lady Rams managed
to place seventh overall
out of 11 teams.
Although the Lady
Rams have accomplished
many wins for the team
this season, it was not
easy.
“The moment we found
out that we won, it was
a great feeling and one
that will drive us toward
success for the rest of
the season,” said junior,
sports marketing major,
Mackenzie McGrath in
a recent interview with
The Suffolk Journal. “To
achieve the first win of a
program is a great feat
and I'm definitely looking
forward to the rest of the
season.”
Aine
Dillon,
a
sophomore legal studies
major
and
long-time
golfer, explained to The
Journal that the path
to their first victory
required a lot of time and
patience as a result of not
having enough golfers to
compete for triumph.
“Last year, we only had
one other girl and myself,
so it was physically
impossible to win given
the sheer number of
people,” said Dillon.
The team started off
small,
however
after
a year of gathering
personnel, the team has
gained enough Lady Rams
to compete for a chance
to win tournaments.
Dillon also explained
to The Journal that the
competition Suffolk sees
is
certainly
different
from what she saw as a
competitor in high school.
“In
college
golf,
[everyone]
is
very
passionate about it,” said
Dillon. “Some people are
trying to go professional
even in Division III.”
With the competition
as tough as it is, and
taking into account the
journey the team took
to get to where they are
today, Dillon said the
feeling of being victorious
in their first match was
“amazing.”
“It was really special
for us, being able to
compete [as a team] for
the first time and win,”
said Dillon. “All of our
girls played really well
that day.”
First-year Head Coach
Jay Parker agreed with
what Dillon said, adding
that the recent win
was,
“very
gratifying
considering all the hard
work we put in.”
Parker
stepped
into an unknown role;
originally coaching the
Suffolk Baseball team as
an assistant for the past
twenty years. When asked
about the transition from
baseball
to
women's
golf, Parker explained
that it was very different
given the difference in
personalities that the two
teams have.
In regards to if baseball
or golf would be more
difficult to coach, Parker
discussed how he had
coached many different
sports throughout his
career including softball
and lacrosse in addition to
baseball and golf. Parker
said that he as a coach
must “put in time with
research” in order to be
the best he can possibly
be as an instructor.
McGrath later went on
to discuss just how this
first victory of the season
could help this team
throughout the rest of the
season.
“When we beat RIC
for our first win of the
season, it felt awesome.
For any sport, to start off
a season with a victory,
it already puts your
team on a good track for
the rest of the season,”
said McGrath. “To start
on a high note like this
definitely has given us
all
more
confidence
individually and as a
whole that we will take
into this weekend when
we play in New York.”
McGrath
also
explained that the players
are shooting high in
regards to the team’s
expectations.
“Looking at how we
performed last Sunday,
I think we have a good
outlook for the rest of the
season,” said McGrath.
“Our end goal is to win
the championship, and I
do think it's possible for
us to get it. There's always
things we can work
on to better ourselves
individually, so I think if
we can keep working hard
and continue to put the
work in, then that is an
obtainable goal.”
The women’s golf team
looks to compete and
continue their winning
ways on Saturday at the
Mt. Holyoke Invitational
at the Orchards Golf Club
in South Hadley, Mass.

The historic class that has ‘seen it all’ turns to next chapter
By Alexa Gagosz, Editor-in-Chief
For four years, the undergraduate
students of Suffolk University have
questioned their institutions’ stability
in regards to maintaining consistent
leadership in upper administration and
the decisions that each reign conducted
in each of their short tenure.
This class, the class of 2017, had
seen a change in leadership each year
they attended Suffolk and much like
the presidential turnovers in the corner
office of 73 Tremont, they endured the
ousting of former Board of Trustees
Chairman Andrew Meyer, the sale of
both the Fenton building and Temple
Street properties, the New England
School of Art & Design’s feeling of
disconnect from the rest of campus,
saw the cut of the Beacon Hill Institute,
lived through the loss of a main theatre
and the addition of the 20 Somerset
building and witnessed the deep divide
that was wedged between both the
campus and the rest of the nation after
election night.
However, this class was also the class
that held three-straight Men’s Baseball
Championships, rallied together and
behind former President Margaret
McKenna, marched in more than one
Boston championship parade and stood
in defiance at the one-year anniversary
of the Boston Marathon bombing on
Boylston Street. The class of 2017 not
only observed the changes in and around
Suffolk over their first three years, but
also the successes and consequences
that occurred during their final year.
On May 21, the undergraduate
senior classes of the Sawyer Business
School (SBS) and College of Arts &
Sciences (CAS) poured into the Blue
Hills Bank Pavilion, beginning early in
the morning, decked in blue and gold
with diverse flags and cords bearing
around their necks.
After four presidential changes in
as many years, Acting President Marisa
Kelly, however, gave a promising note
to those who bore cap and gown at the
2017 Commencement on their readiness
to turn to the next chapter in their lives.
“The Suffolk Experience is a powerful
thing. I suspect the experience that
you gained during your time at Suffolk
has changed your lives forever,” said
Kelly at the College of Arts & Sciences
Commencement. “And the experiential
learning that you embraced –- both
inside and outside of the classroom -will make a world of difference in your
futures.”
This same angst that these students
sometimes felt over the reputation of
Suffolk, some now face the challenge of
today’s turbulent political climate that
this diverse class faces. CAS speaker and
Political Scientist Robert D. Putnam said
that America has failed as a “we” society,
and has very much turned into an “I”
society. However, Putnam said this arts
and sciences class of 653 graduates
could possibly change America’s new
selfish stigma around.
“I’m actually optimistic that your
generation can turn these trends
around, because Americans just like
you and just in this place have done so
before,” said Putnam to CAS graduates
that afternoon. “If our country today
faces polarization, political polarization
and economic inequality and social
fragmentation, you, collaborating with
one another, you can reverse those
trends. Your generation can lead the
way to a more diverse, more tolerant,
more cohesive, more equal society, a
society in which, rather than shout at
one another, we listen to one another,
actually, listen to one another.”
Just hours before, now graduate
Thinh La gave a riveting and dynamic
speech on how his very life could
be used as the very reason for the
American dream. La, whose family
climbed out of the grips of Vietnam’s
poverty level, where his parents would
consistently refuse food in order to

Bay neighborhood. After
renovations had taken
over the sixth, tenth and
two bottom floors of the
Sawyer building this past
spring, NESAD will now
be a part of Suffolk‘s main
campus, and the future
the university paints.
Many NESAD students
have felt disconnected
from the rest of the
university having been so
far away from the main
campus space. Now that
NESAD has transferred
from Back Bay to Beacon
Hill, the now four floors
that have been allocated
solely for the art school
are

receiving
criticism for the physical
downsizing that programs

programs were concerned

Cherina Clark, a student
that filled her resume

In her time as the
former
president
of
Suffolk Law’s Black Law
Students
Association,
Clark
has
worked
to
provide
training
opportunities for Boston
public middle and high
school students that may
have a similar background
to herself. Another goal
of Clark’s has been to
prepare the teens for
interactions with police
officers and to help them
understand
when
an
officer may have crossed
a boundary.
A leading news source
for legal education, The
National Jurist, named
Clark and 24 other law
students from around
the country as 2017’s Law
Students of the Year. The
National Jurist described
a great law student as,
“students [that] leave
their marks on their
law schools and the
surrounding communities
before going off and
doing great things in the
real world.”
Clark was unable to
be reached before the
publishing of this article.
Some of the projects
Clark worked on include
drafting legislation to aid
the State of Michigan’s
dealing with the Flint
water crisis, participating
in the Marshall Brennan
program to teach innercity students the legal
foundations of search
seizure, acts of protests
and more.
As a first generation
student, part of her
student outreach was
intended
to
provide
others like her a more
complete idea of what law
school is about, and the
resources they will need
to succeed in the same
ways that she has.
Clark has written that
she has, “plans of pursuing
a career in corporate law
upon graduation.”

NEWS BRIEFS
Suffolk MHA student teaches surgeon
Rapidly advancing technology in the health care
industry has not only birthed creative and innovative
techniques in medicine, but has prompted a younger
generation to take charge in the ever-growing field.
Once a student in Suffolk’s Sawyer Business School’s
Master of Healthcare Administration program, Michael
Bayeh found himself in a position to teach someone
whom he had studied in school. Bayeh secured an
internship at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and
landed a job upon completing his program, only to have
found himself in a position to train surgeon, Harvard
professor and New York Times best seller Dr. Atul
Gawande. Virtual health care is an industry on the rise
tailored to replacing visits to the hospital or a primary
physician. Bayeh’s knowledge has stemmed in part from
Suffolk University’s MHA program, which is the only
MHA program in New England to hold Commision on
Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education.
According to Suffolk University, Bayeh was able to
interact with Gawande just 20 months after taking an
introductory course in which the class required the use
of Gawande’s book, “Complications: A Surgeon’s Notes
on an Imperfect Science.”
Massachusetts
Society of CPAs
awards nine scholarships
Boston has long been regarded as an education mecca, and
has often produced some of the world’s most renowned
intellects. At Suffolk University, students in the heart
of the city have the chance make their own mark. This
past May, students at Suffolk were recognized for their
accomplishments and rewarded for their efforts. The
Massachusetts Society of Certified Public Accountants
(MSCPA) awarded nine Suffolk University students
scholarships. The Suffolk students, who represent
a portion of the 50 total students who received this
scholarship, will be able to use their awarded money of
up to $2,500 toward their education. More than $858,500
has been awarded by MSCPA’s Educational Foundation
since 2006, with a record $127,500 being distributed this
year according to a press release.

NESAD optimistic on move, some question space
From NESAD page 1
Several students and
faculty members have
expressed concern over
the size reduction of the
print room compared
to the one that NESAD
possessed at the Arlington
Street location. A NESAD
student explained to a
Journal reporter that
the studio space for the
majors used to hold
about 20 students and
now the new space on the
tenth floor of Sawyer will
hold an estimated six. In
addition, Shelby Feltoon,
a fine arts major, who met
with a Journal reporter in
the new NESAD location,
was discouraged by the
diminishment of space for
upperclassmen fine arts
students.
“Like this space, this
space is the worst space
in the universe, so we
have to figure out what
we want to do about it,”
said Feltoon. “This is the
Fine Arts Studio. It hurts.”
While all students
will
inevitably
have
transitionary challenges
to face in the fall,
Feltoon explained that
she has tried to keep a
loose perspective on the
move, and noted that the
uncertainty of the new
space will be resolved
with natural learning
curves.
“[Students are] going
to walk in there [being]
a little stunned,” said
Department Chair Audrey
Goldstein in a recent
interview
with
The
Journal. “Like a first day
in kindergarten type of
thing where you don’t
know where to go.”
The hope for a closer
campus may still be
yet to come. Seeing the
sections of the building
as it continued to be
worked on may give
some students unease,
according to some within
NESAD. Since the news
broke that NESAD would
be moving to the main
campus for the fall 2017
semester, many Art &
Design students have
voiced their grievances
over students outside of
the program not being
used to the sculptures
and figures spread across
walls and hanging from
ceilings.
“I think [NESAD] is
going to have to readjust
to the fact that we’re
going to be surrounded
by students that aren’t
necessarily a part of art
and design community
that we have built,”
said junior and Student
Alexa Gagosz/ Editor-in-Chief
(Above) NESAD’s printshop in the basement of the Sawyer building has been cut dramatically in size after
the move from Back Bay to the main campus, according to students within the department.
Monitor Diane AppaixCastro. “We are pretty
tight because we are so
small and now it’s like
all these other people are
going to be joining us and
it’s awesome but it’s also
kind of terrifying.”
As few students have
been able to see the newly
unveiled renovations as
of yet this summer, it has
been hard to tell what the
overall student reaction
is, according to Feltoon,
who was just re-elected as
the Student Government
Association
Senator-atLarge for NESAD.
“I haven’t heard a
ton of opinions, but I
know that there is a lot
of apprehension,” said
Feltoon. “Some of that has
to do with an immediate
criticism due to seeing
the space in a very raw
state.”
Goldstein said she
believes the new space
was designed with a more
applicable outlook to the
department, as opposed
to 75 Arlington, which she
said was never supposed
to be a permanent home.
Students and faculty grew
accustomed to the old
building, molding and
shaping it to fit their needs
according to Goldstein,
who said having space in
the Sawyer building is a
better deal.
The relocation from
75 Arlington has allowed
both monetary resources
and work space for
police and Information
Technology Systems once
used for NESAD’s own
offices to be reallocated,
according to a former
article published in The
Journal earlier this year.
Last year’s Assistant Vice
President
of
Campus
Services
Jim
Wallace
was actively working on
this project along with
Andre Vega, director of
construction
services,
to ensure the techflex
classes
could
begin
May 22 for the summer
sessions.
“The moving in wasn’t
complicated, the building
into Sawyer was. It’s about
ten thousand square feet
less than what they had
on Arlington,” said Vega.
“The problem with the
Arlington Street property
that it was so remote from
campus there had to be a
lot of duplicated space. By
having them on campus is
really what saved them a
lot of space.”
For Goldstein, it was a
relief to move out of the
Back Bay property.
“The landlord was
not happy having an
arts school there,” said
Goldstein. “They kind
of couldn’t wait for us
to leave-- we were in
a commercial building
and we’re a nonprofit
institution and there was
a conflict.”
Both Goldstein and
Manager
of
NESAD’s
Woodshop
Jameszie
Helenski have anticipated
the move to include
the involvement of new
students in the program
as well as being able to
design the new spaces to
suit those who will use
them.
Part of making the
space their own for
Alexa Gagosz/ Editor-in-Chief
Gallery space on the sixth floor of the Sawyer building.
Helenski was relocating
the laser-etched plaque
made in honor of the late
Woodshop Manager Paul
Andrade. The plaque,
which was created in
the fall of 2015 shortly
after Andrade’s death,
now hangs outside of the
new space in the Sawyer
basement.
“It’s not the same
space in a lot of respects
because now [Andrade]
doesn’t have a hand in the
way the shop is laid out
and how it will function,”
said Helenski. “It will
have to change how it
runs because of it now
being accessible by more
students, but I think it’s
really nice to be able to
still give him his nod and
be like, this is what he
contributed.”
A positive outlook
that
Goldstein
and
Helenski share is how
these spaces will provide
greater
opportunities
for collaborations across
departments within the
university.
“I’m looking forward
to seeing how Art and
Design and non-Art and
Design students interact
with the space and really
take advantage of the
tools and resources that
we have down here,”
said Helenski. “I feel
like that was one thing
people missed out on
while we were down on
Arlington because the
shop
technically
was
always open to any and
all Suffolk students they
just didn’t know what was
there or didn’t feel like
walking down the other
end of the common.”
Goldstein hopes the
students come into the
fall semester ready for
new
opportunities
to
be creative, hinting at
the plethora of artwork
that will be featured on
campus in both subtle
and bold ways.
“I know what I’m going
to do the first day of
classes with my students,
and I know what type of
challenges I’m going to
present them with,” said
Goldstein. “But I don’t
know what they’re going
to come up with we’ve
got to wait and see.”

Terrorism Strikes Again, London Stays Strong
Jacob Geanous
World News Editor
Britain has been rocked
by yet another devastating
act of terrorism, the third
in three months. Seven
people were killed and
48 more were injured
when car plowed through
pedestrians on London
Bridge Saturday before
three men jumped out of
the vehicle, armed with
large knives, and began
stabbing people in the
nearby Borough Market.
Armed officers killed all
three attackers while they
perpetrated the attack
within eight minutes of
the first emergency call
to authorities, reported
British officials.
Recently, authorities
have identified Pakistaniborn Kharun Butt, 27,
Rachid Redouane, 30,
both of Barking and
22-year-old
MoroccanItalian Youssef Zaghba
as the three attackers.
A day after the attack,
12 people were arrested
in connection to the
incident, but have all been
released without charges,
according to BBC. On
Tuesday, a 27-year-old
man was arrested in
Barking in connection
with the attack, but
details as to his alleged
involvement have not
been released.
The
deadly
attack
came only two weeks
after a suicide bomber
detonated
himself
in
front of an Ariana Grande
concert in Manchester.
Many of those killed by
the attack were children,
and 116 were injured,
reported numerous news
outlets. Britain was on
“severe”
threat
level
following the bombing,
but
downgraded
the
threat level to “critical”
just before the London
Bridge attack.
The vehicular assault
and the mayhem that
ensued also took place
only days before the
British election, which is
scheduled to take place
on June 8.
Following the attack,
British Prime Minister
Theresa
May
and
the
opposing
Labour
Party suspended their
campaigns for a full day,
although the Labour Party
stated that the suspension
was out of respect of the
victims of the attack.
May held a recent
press conference and
announced
that
the
election will still take
place on Thursday, as
scheduled.
She held an emergency
meeting
with
her
cabinet of safety officials
Sunday. Afterwards she
released
a
statement
calling
for
increased
counterterrorism efforts,
both online and in the
country’s streets.
“Everybody needs to
go about their lives as

Above: British armed forces rush to the scene of the attack; courtesy of Facebook User ABC
Below: The three identified attackers. From left to right: Kharun Butt, Rachid Redouane and
Youseff Zaghba
they normally would,” she
said. “Our society should
continue
to
function
in accordance with our
values. But when it comes
to taking on extremism
and terrorism, things
need to change.”
London’s Mayor Sadiq
Khan urged the citizens
of London to be “calm
and vigilante” in a press
conference following the
attack.
“We will never let
these cowards win, and
we will never be cowed
by terrorism,” Khan said.
Khan’s address drew
criticism from President
Trump in a tweetstorm
following the attack.
First, Trump shared
condolences
for
the
victims
and
tweeted
“Whatever the United
States can do to help out
in London and the UK, we
will be there — WE ARE
WITH YOU. GOD BLESS!”
Trump then proceeded
to
condemn
Khan,
incorrectly, for saying
that there was nothing to
worry about, something
Khan never said.
“At least seven dead
and 48 wounded in terror
attack and Mayor of
London says there is ‘no
reason to be alarmed!’”
Trump tweeted.
On Tuesday, Khan
said that Trump’s visit
to
Britain,
scheduled
to be October, should
be canceled. He stated
Trump
“was
wrong”
about “many things” in
a statement he made to
numerous media outlets.
“I don’t think we should
roll out the red carpet to
the president of the USA
in
the
circumstances
where his policies go
against everything we
stand for,” Khan told U.K.
broadcaster Channel 4.

and senior Rina Hirate. As
a strong-willed, student-run
organization that embraces
all aspects of diversity,
SUJSA is dedicated to
spreading
their
unique
Asian identity throughout
campus.
Diversity is a prominent
facet of Suffolk’s reputation
as a university. Hirate
explained
that
SUJSA
enjoys doing their part to
contribute to diversifying
the Suffolk community.
Despite all the time that
classes may consume, Hirate
feels that SUJSA board
members are driven to make
SUJSA successful purely
because of their passion for
Japanese culture.
“Japanese
culture
is
not only about anime or
comics,” said Hirate in a
recent interview with The
Suffolk Journal. “Japan has
a lot of wonderful cultures
which we would like to
share.”
According to Hirate,
SUJSA
hosts
cultural
events such as a traditional
Japanese Tea Ceremony
with guests from Urasenke
Boston, or a movie night
exploring the depths of
Japanese media, SUJSA to
draw in various students
from all kinds of different
backgrounds
usually
having a crowd of at least
60 at each of their events.
Not only does SUJSA
embrace Japanese culture,
but they also advocate
and co-sponsor events for
other international clubs
on campus. For example,
SUJSA supported Suffolk’s
Korean
Culture
Club’s
recent
“Running
Man”
event. Just by scrolling
through SUJSA’s facebook
page, you can see all their
involvement and support
for other clubs on campus.
SUJSA also co-sponsored
Suffolk’s
International
Student
Association’s
Newport Trip in April.
SUJSA looks forward
to their annual Japanese
Culture
Night
in
the
Somerset Cafe, usually held
in February. At culture
night,
attendees
look
forward to learning more
about the Japanese lifestyle
and games as well as getting
to try a variety of Japanese
foods.
“Our plan is to keep
events
which
we
got
good feedback from last
academic year,” said Hirate.
She explained that in the
coming year, SUJSA plans
to collaborate with other
international clubs. “We’ve
been able to make many
successful events hosted by
JSA, but we haven’t created
a big event with other
clubs.”
Hirate wants to make
events fun and inclusive for
all cultures.
Outgoing
SUJSA
President Kenichi Ozeki’s
efforts within the association
allowed SUJSA’s popularity
and overall campus presence
to
increase
drastically.
“Every year more and more
students join JSA,” said
Hirate. The events SUJSA
held this past year not only
attempted to entertain those
who attended, but they also
provided
a
memorable,
hands
on
experience
of Japanese culture by
incorporating
Matsuri,
Daruma-san ga Koronda
card games at their events,
as well as traditional food.
The club’s popularity
has grown tremendously
over the past several years.
This year’s Global Thinking
Cornerstone Award was
awarded directly to Ozeki in
appreciation for all his hard
work.
“I can’t count how much
time I dedicated to JSA,” said
Ozeki, “Our association is so
diversified. I’ve learned that
so many Suffolk students
are interested in Japanese
culture.”
SUJSA aspires to hold an
Asian Culture Festival with
some of the other culture
clubs to help promote
diversity at Suffolk. They
said
they
are
looking
forward to planning said
event for next year.
As a result of their
dedication
to
sharing
Japanese culture, SUJSA
has grown larger and
larger each year. “We are
so happy because it means
that students recognize
our club,” said Hirate. She
finds that one of the most
valuable things about being
a part of Suffolk’s diverse
campus is getting to share
their culture with such
large group of appreciative
people.

of
outrage that could be
heard for miles and
colorful cardboard signs
rose high in the air
were seen worldwide.
Speculation
of
government instability,
political protests and
the economy are some
reasons why Venezuelan
citizens have taken to
the streets in protest.
The
Venezuelan

have responded to this
political outcry through
the Venezuelan Student
Union (VSU). Guillermo
Sosa, the current chief
logistics
manager
of
the VSU, is part of the

process.
Sosa’s position includes
organizing events as
well as recruiting new
members and staff to

movement
that
was
created by the president
of the VSU with the
purpose
of
creating
different
cultural
events with the goal
of fundraising, which
will be designated to

necessity in Venezuela.
This goal will consist
of
uniting
different

with the mission of
uniting forces to create

On Thursday, President
Trump announced that
he would pull the United
States out of the Paris
Climate Accord and join
Nicaragua and Syria as
the only countries not to
follow the environmental
pact. The decision, which
President Trump alluded
to before his formal
announcement, is the
latest furtherance of the
isolationist agenda he has
voiced for the entirety of
his political career.
A statement issued
from the White House
stated
that
Trump
“reassured the leaders
that America remains
committed to the transAtlantic alliance and to
robust efforts to protect
the environment.”
Shortly
after
the
statement was released,
French,
German
and
Italian political leaders
signed a joint statement
calling the Paris Accord
“Irreversible.”
“I was elected to
represent the people of
Pittsburgh, not Paris.”
said
Trump
during
the
Thursday
press
conference.
While
garnering support from
the some members of
the Republican party, the
decision has been widely
opposed
by
political
figureheads across the
country including those
in Boston.
A growing number of
mayors, governors, and
university
presidents
across the country are
vowing to uphold the
regulations set by the
Paris Accord, including
Massachusetts Governor
Charlie Baker and Boston
Mayor Martin J. Walsh.
The unnamed coalition
includes more than 30
mayors, three governors,
80 university presidents
and
100
businesses.
They have pledged to
the United Nations meet
the US greenhouse gas
emission targets under
the Paris Climate Accord,
but there is no formal
way for entities that
are not countries to be
recognized by the U.N. as
full parties.
In
a
statement,
Suffolk University Acting
President Marisa Kelly
stated that, while she
supports the Paris Accord,
she has not yet joined the
coalition.
“The new extension
of our strategic plan
calls for the creation of
a Suffolk Sustainability
Committee,” said Kelly
in the statement. “I have
Senator Linda Dorcena
Lorry and Massachusetts
Representative
Michael
Capuano
accompanied
Markey.
225 people attended
the
event,
according
to
Senator
Markey’s
communications director
Giselle
Barry,
filling
nearly every seat the
theater had available.
The Boston’s Children’s
Choir took the stage to
warm up the crowd and
set the tone for the event
by singing “This land is
my land,” which they
noted was a “rebel song
from the 1920’s.”
Following
the
musical
performance,
Representative Capuano
spoke
briefly
before
introducing Mayor Walsh
to the stage.
“When you’re in the
I personally support the Paris Accord, but I
have not yet signed the coalition pledge.
- Suffolk University Acting President Marisa Kelly
taken the first steps to
create that committee
and intend to have it fully
up and running by the
fall semester. I think it
is appropriate to ask this
group for an assessment
of our next steps as a
university in light of the
U.S. withdrawal from the
Paris Accord.”
Shortly after Trump
announced his decision
to back out of the Paris
Accord,
Massachusetts
Senator Edward Markey
held a town hall meeting
in downtown Boston’s
Paramount
Theatre
shortly after Trump made
his announcement that
will ultimately lessen
the country’s effort to
fight global warming.
Mayor Walsh, Democratic
trenches fighting for the
people you represent,
you want to look to
your side find people
that’ll stand alongside
with you,” Capuano said,
before Walsh took the
stage. “We all make
compromises, but there’s
a line.”
Walsh
didn’t
hold
back the disdain he
felt
towards
Trump’s
decision,
condemning
the president’s actions
and calling for continued
environmental advocacy.
“We
have
to
do
more to make sure
we are protecting this
environment,”
said
Walsh. “If you look at a
map of the city of Boston
and the flood zones, half
of downtown is under
water.”
Walsh urged everyone
in attendance to exercise
civic activism and make
their voices heard in local
government.
“We can bury our head
under a pillow for the
next four years and hope
it goes away, or we can
stand up and fight,” said
Walsh
After Walsh made his
statements,
he
called
Senator Markey, the town
hall’s featured speaker, to
the stage.
“I think we all have
PTSD: Post-Trump stress
disorder,” Markey said,
evoking laughter from the
crowd. “If you fight for
your principles everyday,
you tend to feel better
at night, but you have to
keep doing it every day.”
Markey
announced
that he would continue
to fight for the creation
of environment and the
clean energy jobs of
Massachusetts. According
to Markey, Massachusetts
employs
more
than
100,000 in the clean
energy sector and adds
about 10,000 more each
year.
“Today was a very
low point for America,”
Markey said. “[Trump]
decided he would remove
the U.S. from Paris
agreement.”
Midway
through
Markey’s’ address, he
received
word
that
Boston’s City Hall would
be lit up with green LED
lights throughout the
night, a symbolic gesture
that was demonstrated in
landmark buildings across
the
world
including
Paris’s City Hall and
Mexico City’s City Hall.

“The
boxes
were
sent to Miami which
would then be sent to
Venezuela. The results
have
not
yet
been
reported since we have
heard of the National
Guard stepping in and
attempting
to
block
supplies from coming
in to help the general
public,” said Gazzani.
VSU is hopeful that
all the aid they’ve sent
to Venezuela will truly
make a difference.
“The idea was to help
Venezuela people in the
current crisis we are
facing. The project was
to collect as many first
aid products and over
the counter medicine
as soon as possible to
be sent to Venezuela to
help the lack of primary
health products,” said
Sosa.
Venezuelan President
Maduro is seen by some
as leading a kleptocratic
regime. The government
is actively using tear gas
on protesters. Months
of
anti-government
protests have already left
more than 50 civilians
dead. Venezuela right
now is facing the worst
crisis of its history,
The lack of basic needs
such as toilet paper and
substantial food.
“Living in Venezuela
right now is challenging
and
emotionally
devastating.
The
insecurity
and
the
corruption in the country
are worst every day,”
said Sosa. “People are
fighting to live each day
and trying to get some
food to their houses, a
mission that is almost
impossible.
Having
friends and family in
Venezuela knowing the
are fighting for their
freedom but not knowing
if they are going to get
back alive or get home
back safely is emotionally
devastating.”

What was a draw
back
and
almost
disappointment was the
general feeling of the
cop-out try-hard attitude
toward
this
year’s
installment of the evergrowing music festival,
Boston Calling.
While
there
were
certainly drawbacks, like
overcrowded
T-stations
and minimal parking, it
was a let down to travel
to somewhere that was
trying too hard to be
something it wasn’t.
What was always
comforting and endearing
quality of Boston Calling
was the fact that it was
held within City Hall
Plaza. With the stages
backed by skyscrapers
and the bricked walkways,
it was easy to feel like
Matty Healy of The 1975 talks about the Manchester attacks, which is
also their hometown, during their set on Saturday night.
the venue was in a city,
rather than some open
grassy area like that of
festivals such as Firefly or
Coachella. Festivals such
as those, and even classic
Woodstock have been
known for the traditional
lackadaisical vibe and
general laid-back outlook
on life. With the fastpaced inner-city it was
easy to get lost in the
quirky urban setting.
Amidst the floating
effervescent bubbles and
the stage lights masked
by a thick layer of fog and
humidity, a heavy, soulrattling bass thundered
through the astroturf at
the eighth installment of
the festival.
Held this year at the
Harvard Athletic Complex
in Cambridge, Boston
Calling played host to a
crowd of roughly 40,000

A
Mud, sweat and tears: Boston Calling gets new home
From PAINS page 7
and a medley of
melodies and moderate
musical interludes.
Complete
with
an
out-of-place ferris wheel
placed on the outskirts
of the turf fields lined
with beer, wine and
food
vendors,
the
general attitude of the
crowd seemed open and
accepting, yet questioning
and wary. However, once
the music began and the
grills fired up, it seemed
that most people settled
in for an action-packed
weekend.
Drawing crowds in with
headliners like Chance
the Rapper, The 1975,
Bon Iver and Mumford
and Sons, Boston Calling
had its hands full in
regard to fulfilling crowd
expectations in appeasing
festival-goers.
After
a
lackluster
start with the Allstonbased band Vundabar, the
three-day festival eased
into its new location with
Virginia-based
group,
Lucy Dacus. As the rain
started to settle in, Ducas’
voice crooned out over
the speakers and created
a thick and warm feeling
despite
the
gloomy
and inclement weather
conditions.
As the first afternoon
wore on and the weather
began to clear, Francis
and the Lights graced
the stage. Complete with
heavy bass and synthetic
influences, Francis Starlite
was an enigmatic force to
be reckoned with. With
just himself and a lone
DJ, Francis transformed
the expansive stage into
what seemed like his own
personal universe. For
the entire duration of his
set, this ball of energy
never stopped moving,
throwing his small frame
almost carelessly around
the stage. At no point did
it seem like he was losing
steam.
Arguably
one
of
the
larger
dramatic
occurrences at this year’s
show was the last minute,
cancellation of artist,
Solange. According to her
personal Twitter account,
complications such as
production delays and
issues that were out of
her control lead to her
ultimate backing out.
Instead of the R&B artist,
Boston Calling filled the
empty space with up-andcoming rap group Migos.
Recently
performing
in Mansfield, MA, the
group revved up the
blossoming crowd with
ribcage shattering bass
and a general tenacity for
performing.
After all was said and
done, the true moment
of surrealism came at
approximately 9:20 p.m.
when a fresh batch of rain
came tumbling down.
Just in time for Friday
headliner, Chance the
Rapper. As the lights from
the XFINITY Red Stage,
just opposite the Green
Stage on which Chance
would be shortly settling
into, went down, the
entire complex seemed to
embrace the precipitation.
Standing in the darkness
was a collective there
to appreciate an array
of experiences. Couples
kissed
in
the
romcom-esque rain, others
scrambled
to
shroud
themselves
in
rain
ponchos and trash bags

to shield themselves from
the wetness.
Despite the move to
the athletic complex and
the troves of mud and dirt,
the festival seemed to just
need a dry run to work
out the kinks that come
with a big move. From
the general admittance
bottleneck entrance flow
to the masses of agitated
and hungry festival-goers
trying to snag a bite or
a beer, there is plenty of
room for improvement.
However, with regard to
the involvement of those
there participating in the
music and supporting
up and coming bands,
it was reassuring to see
that Boston Calling hadn’t
lost sight of their initial
intention: to appreciate
music.

Well versed: new a capella group goes soul searching
Kendra Huber
Journal Staff
Suffolk University has
acted as a harbor for
forging bonds through
their various musical
organizations and clubs
that have circled through
generations of students.
Music has always been
a way to create lasting
connections
between
people and will continue
to do so. With so many
possible artistic outlets,
it is easy to see the
difficulties some people
face when trying to get
their projects and dreams
off of the ground.
For Jo’Lise Grant, it
wasn’t difficult.
Founder and President
of Suffolk University’s
own Soulfully Versed,
Grant set out to procure
a more soul-oriented
sound with an a capella
foundation on campus.
Instead of just singing
songs from the soul
genre, Grant wanted to
also incorporate a facet
of passion that would
reverberate through its
members, forcing their
voices to become one
in a capella and truly
encapsulate the idea of
“singing with soul.”
“I originally started
this a cappella group
because I, myself, love to
sing. But I also wanted
there to be another option
for people,” said Grant in
a recent interview with
The Suffolk Journal. “I
still support people to
start more groups here at
Suffolk because it gives
people more options and
opportunities.”
Created
last
September, Grant held
auditions to start to form
the current musical group
which is comprised of
twelve members with five
altos, three sopranos and
four tenors, though they
are currently on the hunt
for a couple of basses.
“It's amazing what your
voice can do. Sometimes
it can be challenging but
it's so awesome when
it comes together,” said
Grant. “You're literally
making music with your
voice and it's the adding
different
parts
and
different notes which
makes it just amazing.
It’s not only just singing
soul songs it's about the
songs that we choose and
sounding like we have
soul.”
Their
performances
are often part of the
Suffolk Performing Arts
Office (PAO) shows that
are held each semester.
In keeping with Grant’s
original vision of singing
with soul, they have
performed
a
number
of pieces such as “We
Have Sang Tonight” by
Xscape, “If I Ever” by
Shai, “Thinking Out Loud”
by Ed Sheeran and “I’m
Yours” by Jason Maraz.
This upcoming year
they plan to take their
group a step further by
holding their own show in
which they want to invite
other a cappella groups
that reside in the Boston
area to participate. By
doing so, Grant hopes
to
build
a
musical
community.
Grant
recalls
that
the only real challenges
that arose this past year
was timing. Sometimes
members would come
late
to
rehearsals,
however once everyone
realized how precious
every moment was when
By Facebook page Soulfully Versed
it came to rehearsals, the
group finally gained its
own rhythm, of which
Grant hopes to continue
on this next year.
They are currently
looking for new members
and will be accepting
anyone who comes to
the group, according to
Grant. As of now, they
are especially on the hunt
for some male voices,
particularly those with
comfortability in the bass
range, to even out their
sound.
Soul music, which
often brings a blues or
jazz rhythm to the sound,
is a phenomenal way
to foster that musical
connection, because each
member is reliant on not
only their voice but ever
other voice within the
group.
“Sometimes it's not
about having a solo and
the group understands
that. When our voices
come together it's such a
magical feeling and that
is what gives us joy,” said
Grant.
Soullfully Versed can
be found on Instagram
as “soulfully_versed” and
on Facebook as “Soulfully
Versed.” Be sure to look
for
announcements
regarding auditions and
performances this coming
fall.

TRUMP IS SPIRALING
America is being taken down with him
By Patr ick Holm es, Opinion Edito r
America is not great.
The United States has lost
its morality, sensibility
and kindness. We are
no longer the leaders of
the free world and our
actions speak volumes.
The rest of the world has
their eyes on us and their
judgemental
whispers
send the message.
We are losing our
core values. At this point,
it is a cliche for baby
boomers to speak about
the “American Dream,”
and so many others from
different parts of the
world trek to this country
in search of such a dream.
However, since Donald
Trump’s presidential win,
he has done everything
in his power to squander
that dream for most.
The coined “Muslim
ban” was Trump’s first
course of action that
halted the dreams and
outcries from many across
the
globe,
especially
Syrian refugees. After
being blocked by a federal
judge, his ban would be

congratulating
himself
on an effort that failed;
a health care bill allows
more U.S. citizens to
to live a healthy, happy
life. He is not a supporter
Why do we have a
president that does not
care for anyone besides
himself and the wealthy?
an effort to take away the
hopes of many.
We may be a country
with more rights and in
better standing than most,
but we are far from great
and Trump has lowered
our standards. Besides
and immigration ban, he
has done little to support
the American people. In
fact, his reintroduction of
suffer and ultimately, die.
Why do we have a
president that does not
care for anyone besides
himself and the wealthy?
His two major decisions
have left other humans
with little and the U.S. is
laughed at by everyone
watching on the sidelines,
most in horror. Trump
does not make it possible
of the American Dream.
The U.S. was once a
large super power with
many wanting to follow
in our footsteps. But
now, we have lost our
footing and the fall is a
treacherous one. From
the immigration ban, to
the recent resignation
from the Paris Climate
Agreement, and even to
the collusion with Russia,
Trump is not oriented to
serve the people of the
U.S. accurately.
The American people
will not only suffer
with
Trump’s
latest
proclamation to remove
ourselves from the Paris
climate agreement. This
decision will affect every
being on this planet.
How can a country
show so much hatred
for its counterparts? For
other beings?
This country is not
great. We are not great
when a our President is
childish and incompetent
with
no
political
background. We are not
great when the majority
of the country is not being
represented adequately.
America is losing its
core values with every
decision made by Trump.
A very small minority
is shown through the
executive
orders
and
his
proclamations.
That minority benefits
while most suffer the
consequences
of
his
actions. Lives, hopes and
dreams are slaughtered
with the scrawl of his
signature.
There needs to be
action
taken
against
Trump and his scandalous
presidency because it
is unclear of how much
more of his decisions we
can take. As a citizen of
this country, I am afraid. I
do not have enough power
to throw his presidency
out the window nor am I
able to impeach him.
Collectively
as
a
country,
we
must
stand our ground and
demand justice for the
wrongdoings of our leader
and his cabinet. They
must be held accountable
and the needs of the
citizens of the U.S. should
be shown in the decisions
made by leadership. This
hierarchy is a slippery
slope that will fall.
Will we survive this?
History will tell.

under our parents roofs,
where we must make a
name for ourselves all
on our own. This comes
naturally to some, but
for others not so much.
Regardless of whether
you are a natural socialite
or an introvert, there
are countless reasons
as to why the first thing
you should do upon
moving into college is get
involved.
The first few weeks
of freshman year are
intimidating for almost
everyone.
You’re
surrounded by hundreds
of unfamiliar faces, all
while trying to adjust to
living in a new space.
What better way to
connect with people than
by getting involved in a
club! Suffolk University
has no shortage of them.
There are dozens of
clubs that span a diverse
range of interests. If
you’re someone who is
interested in greek life,
Suffolk has two sororities
and one fraternity.
Looking for something
more political? Try out
Suffolk’s Model United
Nations team or our
Student
Government
Association. There are
groups to accommodate
people
interested
in
the
performing
arts,
sciences, communication,
culture and if you can’t
find a place that fits you
best then simply create
your own! The Suffolk
community
wants
to
ensure that everybody
has a sense of home and
belonging during their
four or more years here.
If you are someone who
is into athletics, Suffolk
has several clubs, ranging
from
cheerleading
to
lacrosse. Sports teams
are a great way to get
involved on campus and
build relationships with
other students, all while
staying active.
For those who might
have a more competitive
edge to them, Suffolk
also offers a variety of
Division III men and
women’s varsity sports.
The varsity teams hold
countless championship
Courtesy of Suffolk University
titles, as well as new
varsity programs. The
newest additions to the
Athletics Department are
the women’s golf team
and the track and field
team.
Getting involved in
clubs like these was the
best decision I made
my freshman year. By
putting myself out there
I was able to connect
with all sorts of different
people, aside from just
the individuals in my
freshman class. Creating
bonds with the people
I will walk across the
graduation stage with is
extremely important, but
also building friendships
with people outside of
my class is a part of the
true college experience.
Extracurriculars exposed
me to upperclassmen as
well as faculty members
and administrators.
The people that you
build friendships with
will also be who you
turn to when you need
help. The individuals I
encountered over the
course of my freshman
year are the individuals
that I will forever refer
to as lifelong friends.
Having a strong support
system
is
extremely
important when adapting
to significant life changes,
and what better people to
surround yourself with
than those who are in the
same position that you
are.

S
Softball steals two NFCA first-team honors
Brooke Patterson
Sports Editor
The Suffolk University
softball
team
slid
themselves
into
the
Great Northeast Athletic
Conference
(GNAC)
Championship game for
the first time since 2013,
making it the Lady Rams
fifth-ever trip.
Seeded third in the
tournament,
Suffolk
faced the number one
ranked
Johnson
and
Wales University in the
GNAC Championship on
May 7. The Rams needed
to defeat the Wildcats
twice in order to obtain
the GNAC title.
Suffolk came out on
top in the first game
with a 3-2 win at Scotts
Miracle-Gro
Athletic
Complex in Providence,
RI., which forced the two
teams into a winner-takesall final championship
game. In their first ever
if-necessary league title
contest, Suffolk fell 15-5
to Johnson and Wales,
allowing the Wildcats to
capture the 2017 GNAC
softball title.
The
Lady
Rams
finished their season with
an overall 29-17 record
and
16-6
conference
record. In the total 46
games played, Suffolk
had a total of 270 runs
scored and 39 home runs.
Suffolk softball had six
players recognized with
All-GNAC Honors at the
conclusion of this season,
and two ladies earned
a spot on the National
Fastpitch
Coaches
Association (NFCA) firstteam.
“The team worked
really hard to find ways
to be successful together
and were able to make
adjustments throughout
the season that led us to
the GNAC Championship,”
said Head Coach Jaclyn
Davis in an interview
with The Suffolk Journal
via email. “I am so proud
of the work that they put
in and the effort they
gave in that final stretch.
They truly left everything
on the field.”
Rising
junior
and
designated hitter, Jill
Pulek, found herself a
back-to-back member of
the All-NFCA first-team.
Pulek’s spot marked the
first time a Ram earned
a
back-to-back
firstteam honor since Erin
McAndrews in 2013 and
2014.
“I wanted to have an
even better season than
last year, but I was told
that it would be hard to
even accomplish what I
did last year,” said Pulek
in an interview with The
Journal. “I think that I did
have a better season and
it feels really good to be
picked as one of the best
in the region.”
Rising senior Delaney
Sylvester was the other
Lady Ram to be honored
with a spot on the NFCA
first-team.
Since
her
freshman year, she has
been a recurring name on
the all-region roster, but
this was Sylvester’s firstteam honor.
“I am happy to have
received this honor, but I
just plan to keep playing
how I have been playing
for the past three years
for my upcoming senior
season,” said Sylvester
in an interview with The
Journal. “I plan to keep
producing [runs batted
in,] putting bunts down
when needed and being
a leader behind the plate
for my team.”
While in every starting
lineup behind the plate,
Sylvester was a two-time
GNAC
Corvias
Player
of the Week and had a
fielding percentage of
.922. She also brought
in 39 runs and scored 26
for the Lady Rams this
season.
“It is a great honor,
as [Pulek and Sylvester]
have been recognized
by
coaches
within
and
outside
of
our
conference
based
on
their performances this
season,” said Davis. “Both
[Sylvester] and [Pulek]
have been consistently
recognized
throughout
their careers here and
have remained humble
and consistent for their
teams and I am most
proud of that. I am proud
to be their coach and
proud to play a small
role in helping them
manage the recognition
and continue to be
successful.”
As
their
season
concluded,
the
Lady
Rams did not believe they
could have done anything
differently in order to
change the outcome of
their final game against
Johnson and Wales. They
plan on moving forward
from it and will work
“extremely hard” in order
to generate team success.
“We plan to build
upon the successes that
we had this year and the
foundation that we have
created over the last few
seasons,” said Davis. “I
truly believe that if we
work hard and come
together as a team, we
have all of the necessary
tools to win a GNAC
“We plan to
build upon
the successes
that we had
this year and

Championship.”
The team graduated
two seniors at the end
of the season, but look
to gain six recruited
incoming
freshman.
Coach Davis emphasized
the importance of the
girls resting in order to
prepare for next season.
She
explained

important it will be for
the team to take time
off from the diamond
in order to avoid “being
burnt out.” She hopes
that the time off will help
to generate a strong team
foundation by the time
they reunite at the start
of the new school year in
Sept.
“We
fought
hard,
we competed with our
biggest competition and
we gave it everything that
we had,” said Davis.

Rams swing at NCAA tournament
From RAMS Page 12
“I think the key to
our success has been the
quality of players we have
on our roster,” said Del
Prete.
Suffolk finished the
2016-17 season with a
28-17 record, the third
most wins in a season
by the baseball team.
Del Prete pointed out
that his team had been
successful because they
always seemed to come
up big when it was most
detrimental, winning 11-4
of their games when only
one run was scored.
“I think it was a nice
accomplishment for our
seniors to go out having
won a championship in
each of their four years
here (three GNAC’s and
one
Eastern
College
Athletic
Conference
(ECAC) in ’14),” said Del
Prete. “Our players put in
a lot of work each year to
reach their goals and it’s
always good to see them
rewarded.”
Shortly
after
the
season came to a close,
rising senior outfielder
and captain Brady Chant
was
named
an
AllAmerican
Honorable
Mention. This season he
batted .361 and totaled
12 triples, 13 doubles and
four home runs in 69 hits.
“To
be
mentioned
along with some of
the best players in the
country is always special
and when you look at
the lists of these players
almost all of them come
from successful teams
this year so obviously
this is something that I
can say wouldn’t have
been possible without
our
team’s
success,”
said Chant in a recent
interview
with
The
Journal.
Suffolk
lost
eight
seniors at the end of the
season, but Del Prete still
has strong goals moving
forward in the program.
Next season the team will
have eight rising seniors
and according to Del
Prete, they expect over a
dozen new freshmen to
join their group.
“[We hope] to be one
of the top programs again
in New England and
compete for a conference
championship,” said Del
Prete.
After the Rams took
care of business within
the GNAC, they went
on to compete in the
National
Collegiate
Athletic
Association
(NCAA) Division III New
England
Regional
in
Harwich, Mass.
The
tournament,
which consisted of eight
teams, five of which were
from New England and
three from New York and
Pennsylvania, started on
May 18 at Whitehouse
Field.
“Every game in that
tournament is the most
important game all year,”
said rising senior Pordes
in a recent interview with
The Journal.
Suffolk started the
tournament with a 4-0
victory versus St. John
Fisher College. The next
day they faced Arcadia
University,
where
in
the 11th inning a hit
by
graduated
second
baseman BJ Neil brought
in pinch hitter Curtis
Tirone for the 1-0 walkoff
win. This win put them in
the winners bracket final
where, if they advanced,
they would have found
themselves in the College
World Series.
“We made it to Sunday,
which was the last day of
the tournament, which
has never been done
before in the 70 years of
Suffolk Baseball. It shows
that this was a special
team,”
said
Pordes.
“Some may say that we
over-achieved but you
can ask anyone on this
team and they will say
we expected to go to the
NCAA tournament and
compete.”
Although the Rams
would drop their next
two
matches
13-4
to the University of
Massachusetts Boston and
9-1 to Babson College,
they still managed to
reach further than any
Suffolk team had done
before.
“We're
able
to
accomplish
our
goals
each season through our
consistent
hard
work
and
dedication,”
said
Worth. “When I came
here as a freshman,
our goal was to win the
GNAC
championship.
The amazing thing is,
thanks to the seniors that
graduated this past year,
that goal is now just an
expectation. I'm more
proud of this group of
guys than any team I've
ever been apart of and I
wouldn't change it for the
world.”
Chant said his team
and their recent success
had “changed the culture
of
Suffolk
baseball.”
He explained that they
would continue to work
on getting even further in
the game as next season
approaches.
“Our expectations are
exactly the same if not
higher for next year,” said
Chant. “After being that
close to World Series,
I think the goal is to
make another run in the
regional tournament. We
will be a younger team
next year but I think this
program has always been
able to have [players] step
in and fill in roles when
guys graduate or get
hurt.”

Third time
is a charm
Suffolk University baseball wins third
straight GNAC Championship.
Hannah Arroyo
Asst. Sports Editor
For the third season
in a row, the Suffolk
University Men’s Baseball
team defended their title
as Champions of the
Greater Northeast Athletic
Conference (GNAC).
With a slow start to
the beginning of the
season, the Rams found
themselves with a 4-6
record in their first 10
games.
Suffolk
then
turned things around,
won nine of their ten
next matches and would
go on to “play their best
baseball” in some of their
most important games,
said Head Baseball Coach
Anthony Del Prete in
an interview with The
Suffolk Journal.
Suffolk came out with
a 1-0 victory in the GNAC
Championship as they
took on fourth seeded
Johnson
and
Wales
University on May 7 at
Fraser Field. Out of a
total of eight teams the
Rams now officially stand
at the top of the GNAC for
most championships with
seven in total.
“We got three really
good
starting
efforts
on the mound from
[upcoming senior righthanded pitcher] Ryan
Pordes
game
one,
[upcoming senior lefthanded pitcher] Worth
Walrod in game two and
[graduated senior righthanded pitcher] Chuck
Gibson closed out the
championship game with
the best performance
we’ve had all season,” said
Del Prete. “We also played
really good defense and
got some timely hitting in
each of the games.”
Walrod
said
his
performance was made
easier with the backup
from
his
teammates
offensively
and
defensively. He explained
that while he walked a
lot of players, letting up
no runs had made the
difference.
“Pitching
in
the
semifinals
this
past
season was an unreal
experience,” said Worth
in an interview with The
Journal. “ Last year, I didn't
do so well in the GNAC
playoffs when I pitched in
the championship game
so I saw this game as an
opportunity to redeem
myself. My team and I
were able to get it done
and advance to the GNAC
championship game.”
Gibson
threw
a
complete-game shutout,
allowed
only
three
hits and notched nine
strikeouts. Senior catcher
Matt Brenner scored the
lone run of the game
off a single to left from
graduated outfielder Luke
Ronchi.

of the top office, there is still
much work to do.

Emily Perlmutter could

“She followed sports

everything that was going

Diversity Task Force’s final act
Nathan Espinal
Journal Staff
The Diversity Task
Force gave their final
presentation
to
the
Suffolk
community
this past Friday. The
presentation
outlined
the
recommendations
they have made in the
final report after a two
year-long joint effort of
surveying and evaluating
the university’s climate
that
they
will
be
submitting
to
Acting
President Marisa Kelly in
May. Once submitted, the
Task Force will disband,
having
accomplished
their goal, according to
Chairwoman of the Task
Force Micky Lee.
The Task Force has
come up with a number of
strategies, some of which
are still debated amongst
the members. However,
they are sure of making
students,
faculty
and
staff receive the proper
training in matters of
diversity and inclusion.
“These
are
solid
foundations for where
Suffolk currently stands.
It’s been a year and I
think we are starting to
open our eyes a little
more,” said Levi Smith, a
junior business major and
student member of the
Task Force. “One thing to
understand, we don’t have
a standing committee
that does things like this.
We grabbed some of the
best students and staff
[and faculty], put them in
a room and said we need
to talk about some issues
here at the university.”
The position they have
yet to reach a consensus
on
is
whether
the
university should create
a position that would
report to the president
and tentatively titled Vice
President of Inclusion,
Diversity
and
Equity.
Along with this position,
the Task Force hopes to
create a Division, or Office,
of Inclusion, Diversity
and Equity, which will
oversee the Commission
of Diversity Affairs (CDA).
The CDA was suspended
in
2015
by
former
President
Margaret
McKenna and the Task
Force has recommended
it be reinstated since the
bylaws are already in
place.
The Task Force noted
the concerns of the Suffolk
community regarding bias
incidents and proposed
the
university
create
an pilot program for an
Office of Ombuds starting
in the Fall semester of
2017. This office will be
independent from upper
administration and hire
part time staff from
within the university.
“What we found [is]
“We grabbed some of the
best students and staff
[and faculty], put them in
a room and said we need
to talk about some issues
here at the university.”
15 colleges that were
similar to Suffolk in many
ways,” said Director of
Events Jennifer Bonardi
and member of the
subcommittee on ombuds
for the Task Force. “The
office [in the other
universities]
resolves
conflicts,
it
explores
options
for
resolving
conflicts with informal
steps such as services
outside the appeal process
and other resources if
necessary.”
The Office may have
a possible connection to
International
Ombuds
Administration
(IOA)
and follow the same
principles that make the
IOA successful.
“If
the
upper
administration
decides
that we are in need of
an ombuds person based
on the climate poll and
the research we present,

Kelly reflects on year as acting president, what’s to come
Chris DeGusto
News Editor
As this academic year
draws near to a close,
so does the first year
of Marisa Kelly’s stint
as
Acting
University
President. In a recent
interview with The Suffolk
Journal, Kelly reflected
upon her time thus far
in the high office-- what
has been accomplished as
well as still needs to be
worked on, the challenges
she has faced and what
her goals are going
forward at Suffolk.
“I’m excited about
everything
we’ve
accomplished
together
this year,” said Kelly.
“But I don’t want that
to suggest that I think
everything is perfect.
Every institution faces
challenges, big and small,
and we’re no different in
that every institutional
leader acting or otherwise
makes mistakes. I know
I have made mine and I
think in spite of all that,
we’ve made real progress
and I’m excited to be here
and to have been a part
of that.”
Major strides have
been taken this year at
Suffolk, Kelly explained.
Whether looking back
at
the
improvements
of
communication,
the extension of the
university’s strategic plan
or the achievements on
the national rankings
front by The Wall Street
Journal and U.S. News,
Kelly said that Suffolk has
been “rowing in the same
direction” together as a
community.
With inclusivity and
diversity a forefront in
Kelly’s
idealism,
one
aspect that will always be a
constant work in progress
is the continuation of
effective communication.
The
president’s
blog,
“Momentum,”
hoped
to have gained more
feedback
so
that
communicating with the
Suffolk community was
a two-way street. After
the Presidential election
of last year, Kelly spoke
of the importance of
conveying an accepting
and supportive message
to Suffolk was important
to foster a sense of
community.
One
personal
challenge
that
Kelly
highlighted
in
her
transition from Provost
to Acting President was
the acclimation of a new
role
which
provided
new responsibilities and
expectations. In the fall,
Kelly said she believed
she needed to be present
on campus, to focus on
internal communication
with
the
university
leadership since positions
were filled with people
that were not stationed at
that role the year prior.
“I was not new to the
institution, but certainly
new to this role. We were
in a lot of personnel shifts
[in the fall that] I think
required us to really focus
on being a team, and I
think we did that pretty
quickly,” said Kelly.
Kelly also explained
that she tried to not find
herself at times in the
transitionary phase doing
“two jobs at once” and
instead focusing on her
new role as opposed to
her former. And as the
spring semester came,
she was able to hone her
energy and efforts on
matters off-campus such
as outreach programs,
and external affairs.
Suffolk, who has long
NEWS BRIEF
Suffolk student awarded for
neuroscience research
Elena Molokotos, a first-year student in Suffolk’s
clinical psychology doctoral program was recently
awarded the Cognitive Neuroscience Society
Graduate Student Award. Her research primarily
focused on how twins illuminate genetic influences
on brain structure. Once Molokotos decided to
focus on this area of study, she began examining
the neuroimaging information and performing
the statistical analyses. Molokotos said the main
message within her award-winning research was
that the brain structures involved with executive
functions, such as organization and planning,
are potentially more influenced by genes than
other networks of brain. Molokotos was one of
10 graduate students from around the world
honored by the Cognitive Neuroscience Society at
their annual conference in San Francisco this past
March.
been a formidable law
school, now has been
recognized as a toptier institution. Often
however,
incoming
students are swayed away
from Beacon Hill by state
schools and other private
institutions in the area.
Kelly affirmed that the
factors that will attract
students to Suffolk as
opposed to a state school
are the same attractive
components that Suffolk
uses to compete with
other
universities
nationwide.
“It is that combination
of faculty and staff
engagement, experiential
learning
inside
the
classroom and outside of
it across all four years that
is distinctive,” said Kelly.
“There are places across
the country certainly that
do it well or even as well,
but nobody does it better,
and I would say that to
anybody at any time.”
At Suffolk, Kelly said
the focus is on outcomes;
the
value
of
the
experience provided for
students, that is reflective
of the university’s values.
With
the
luxury
of
Suffolk’s
geographical
location, students from all
socioeconomic levels are
able to intertwine their
academic schedule with
jobs, internships, club
activities and engagement
with industries of the city,
Kelly said.
“Boston
is
an
international city with
global corporations that
are shaping the future
of the world in a lot of
ways,” said Kelly. “I think
that our students have the
ability to directly engage
with those entities while
they are students, and
to take that experience
and move forward with

that is something that
we have always done it’s
been important to who
we are.”
Internationalizing
Suffolk
is
another
prominent priority of
Kelly. She described not
only the importance of
recruiting international
students, but providing
a
global
experience
for
all
of
Suffolk’s
students;
exemplified
by
internships,
study
abroad
programs,
or
the connectivity to the
international community.
Going
forward,
bridging the gap between
Suffolk and Boston Public
Schools through dual-
enrollment
programs
can create a launchpad
for students not only
at the university but
in
their
professional
and personal lives. This
summer, Kelly said she is
excited for the permanent
move of NESAD to the
Sawyer building, and the
continuation of progress
on goals outlined in the
strategic plan.
Over the course of the
next year, Kelly hopes
to implement significant
elements of the pending
recommendations
from
the diversity strategic
plan,
along
with
continued
support
of
Suffolk’s
faculty
and
staff from a professional
development perspective.
These facets, Kelly said,
are important conditions
vital to theuniversity.
“It’s a busy world and
there’s lots going on, but
I have felt this year like
there was a commitment
across all constituencies,
[alumni as well], a real
commitment across all
constituencies to work
together to move the
institution forward, and
to do what we’ve always
done, which is to put
the best interests of our
students first,” said Kelly.

Tedx Talk discusses future economies
Chris DeGusto
News Editor
A limitless future calls
for endless possibilities,
that of which today’s
society cannot predict
with precise accuracy.
Humans dream of what is
to come, but are unable
to truly see exactly
what
will
transpire
for
our
technological
and economic sectors.
Through
space
exploration and artificial
intelligence, these dreamlike ideas can start to
become a reality. Speakers
conveyed this exact idea
at Suffolk’s TEDx&Talks
club
inaugural
TEDx
Suffolk University event
on Monday, “Economies
of the Future.”
“We
meet
in
a
university
noted
for
knowledge. We meet in a
state known for progress,”
said Justin Park, the cofounder & president at
Intergalactic
Education
LLC.
Park, who is also tied
to the Swiss Institute
of Technology, NASA,
Booz
Allen
Hamilton
and International Space
University,
presented
“Space World,” about
the benefits of continued
space
exploration.
A
paraphrased speech of
former
United
States
President
John
F.
Kennedy was one of
Park’s mediums for this
talk, as he said today’s
market can inspire the
next generation of space
travels.
Park said the Apollo
missions of the 1960s and
70s were ahead of their
time, and prompted the
belief that many young
people could travel to
space-- a belief he said
is
nonexistent
now.
This lack of belief is not
true, according to Park,
who highlighted areas
where
the
repetition
of space missions will
create markets. Insurance
companies, intergalactic
education
programs,
professional sports and
the use of lawyers are
some examples Park gave
to illustrate the number
of industries that can
be accessed by space
exploration.
“I believe a Renaissance
in manufacturing will
happen that is equivalent
to the original Industrial
Revolution,” said Park
during his talk.
A pre-recorded talk
from writer and blogger
Tim Urban addressed an
issue that many people
deal with, procrastination.
Urban described what
he said are two types
of procrastination; one
who is incited, and
subsequently pancis, by
deadlines in the short
term, and another, who
has no deadlines, that
put off life goals and
aspirations and become
“spectators at time in
their own lives.”
With only four weeks
of
preparation
time,
Suffolk’s
TEDx&Talks’
club president Abdulla
Khoory
said
in
an
interview with The Suffolk
Journal that securing a
venue for the talk was
his biggest challenge. He
explained that along with
finding the right location
and time, the time span
proved to be problematic
for
another
reason-finding speakers.
“It’s in making a
stake as to what’s going
to happen, [that] we
influence the future,”
Chris DeGusto/ News Editor
“We meet in a university noted for knowledge.
We meet in a state known for progress.”
said CEO & founder of
Learnivore Emily Burns.
Burns, who spoke about
artificial
intelligence
(A.I.), said the creation
and development of new
technologies is essential
because our lives depend
on it. The advancement
of technology to this
form could either create
species
immortality
or cause humans to
go extinct. With this
spectrum outlined by two
extremes, Burns said that
the human race could
either be overcome by A.I.
or benefit in many ways.
As many jobs and
household chores could
be replaced with the
hands of A.I. robotics,
humans would be left
to replace their natural
species characteristics in
other areas of life. With
some people concerned
that A.I. would outsource
many jobs and cut close
to humanity, Burns said
that humans would infact
be able to utilize this
time spent on work in
other areas such as with
friends and family. Burns
said she believes that A.I.
would “inspire the need
for human authenticity.”
Besides Burns and Park,
6 other speakers from toptier universities, financial
sector professionals and
investors presented their
own takes upon the
future economy.
“[The goal of this event]
was to build through
large events [to] provide
Suffolk
with
thought
provoking content that
we haven’t seen yet,” said
club creative consultant
Alex Bennett at the event
in an interview with The
Journal.

building, Sargent Hall or
on Temple Street would
fill hallways.
“She was definitely a
joker,” said Voto.
Senior sociology major
Danica Dang who worked
alongside Perlmutter said
she will always remember
her for her charisma and
lighthearted personality.
“She’d come into work
like ‘this happened today,
you would not believe
this’ and she was always
so animated, it would
just make the room more
exciting and fun to work
in.”
Being the first one in
the office each morning,
her coworkers said that
she was faithful in helping
her team.
“She was the type
of
person
that
was
never shy, she loved
greeting people, talking
to people, she had the
biggest smile you could
imagine,” said Assistant
Manager Johanny Mejia.
“Whenever
she’d
see
people walking outside
she’d just stop them
and talk to them about
life and how they were
doing.”
Perlmutter was the
daugher of Law Professor
Emeritus
Richard
Perlmutter. According to
a statement that was sent
to Suffolk’s employees,
Perlmutter was ill in her
final days.
“She was very close
with everyone in her
family,” said Voto. “She
was all about family
outside of work. When
it wasn’t work-- it was
family.”
Although
Voto
and
Perlmutter
were
coworkers, he considered
her a dear friend. Voto
recalled to a Journal
reporter that when he
received an award from
the university for being
employed for thirty years,
she was “one of the
people that was standing
behind me cheering.”
“She will be sorely
missed,”
said
Acting
President Marisa Kelly in
a statement.
After being employed
at the university for
a number of years,
Perlmutter left her mark
on nearly every person
she came in contact with.
Program Manager for
the Law School’s Clinical
Programs & Experiential
Learning
Joan
Luke
told a Journal reporter
on Tuesday night that
Perlmutter would bring
her and the Clinic’s mail
each day.
“We became good
friends over time,” said
Luke. “She cared about
everyone in the building.
She came by to visit us,
even when she was on
medical leave, she would
call us and keep us up-todate on how things were
going.”
P e r l m u t t e r ’ s
impression
that
she
left with those that she
effected at the university
will continue to last at
Suffolk.
“She left an imprint on
people, she definitely has
a legacy that she leaves
behind here,” said Voto.

Ford Hall Forum seeks truth on fake news
Kyle Crozier
Journal Staff
During
the
2016
presidential
campaign,
the term “fake news”
exploded in popularity.
At the start of the
election season, this term
was connected to stories
that some believed were
intended to discredit or
benefit one candidate
over the other, and had
grown to a point where it
would be difficult to find
a publication that has not
been accused of being
fake news.
Last Wednesday night,
three journalists spoke
at Suffolk University’s
Ford Hall Forum on their
continuing careers in
organizations that have
been labeled by some
as “fake news,” as well
as what role journalism
should
play
in
a
democratic society. These
journalists, Joe Mathieu
of WBZ NewsRadio, Matt
Viser of the Boston Globe
and Evan Engel, formally
a
Vocative
senior
producer, all have spent
time having been accused
of false reporting by the
public, or by the current
executive administration.
Matt Viser told his
story of having been the
subject of false reporting
after controversy arose
when he spoke on “The
Lead” with Jake Tapper.
While on the show, CNN
ran a headline under
Viser’s name that read,
“Alt-Right
Founder
Questions if Jews Are
People,” referencing an
inflammatory statement
by
known
whitesupremacist
Richard
Spencer.
A screenshot of this
CNN segment that showed
the
headline
directly
below an image of Viser
immediately went viral
on Twitter, and created a
false association between
Viser and the quote that
incited intense anger
focused directly at Viser
for what people believed
he had said.
“Everybody’s instinct
was sort of to quickly
react
to
what
they
thought that they were
seeing,” said Viser.
The
speakers
discussed how this had
been the perfect-storm
combination of a poorly
written headline, bad
reporting and an overly
quick viral response to
comment on it by the
general public.
In January, Engel found
himself facing nearly 10
years in prison after he
and five other journalists
who were charged with
felony
rioting
while
reporting
on
violent
protests outside of the
inauguration of Donald
Trump. The charges were
dropped after a week, but
for some, the accusation
had changed their image
of Engel.
Engel said that at the
Trump inauguration he,
“witnessed police abuse
that is not the most
alarming police abuse
you’ve ever heard about,
but is still the sort of
thing that as a journalist
you want to report. But
when I brought it back
to Vocative, they were
adamant that I not report
it and that I not speak
about it in front of any
forum,
including
this
one.”
After being asked to
not report on the event,
Engel decided to leave
the publication and began
to speak more about
his experience. He said
that to him it was more
of a joke, but the public
immediately
became
highly polarized on the
Kyle Crozier/Journal Staff
subject, he noted that
“there are people who
reflexively justify any
action a police officer
takes, and so in their eyes
I was instantly at fault,
without question at fault.
But there are also people
that get mad at any
journalist for challenging
power, so there were
accusations of fake news.
Someone said I was an
Israeli spy.”
Engel said that the
public was quick to label
any speaking out he did
on the situation as fake
news if it disagreed with
the point of view of the
law enforcement.
Joe Mathieu said he
believed 2008 began a new
era of people who began
to use social media as a
primary source of news.
He said that, “the internet
was really for the first
time a mainstream news
dissemination tool for all
ages, now everybody was
reading online.”
Mathieu
explained
that it was at this point
the public began to
become more exposed
to the ultra right and
left groups that had
attempted to broadcast
messages for years, but
were just beginning to
gain an influential voice.
Viser instructed that if
people wanted to become
immune to the biases in
news, they should
“Be skeptical, Sean
Spicer said in one of his
first briefings about how,
‘We’re going to call you
guys out,’ to the media,”
said Viser. “I’m fine with
that, call us out, if people
think that we’re not being
fair or open. I think [you
should] read everything,
expose yourself.”

ISA promotes international community on campus
Amy Koczera
Journal Staff
Suffolk’s International
Student
Association
(ISA) strives to promote
community
and
togetherness
among
both
international
and
domestic
Suffolk
students. They do this
through weekly meetings
and co-sponsoring events
with other cultural clubs
on campus. The university
itself
capitalizes
on
its great international
presence. According to the
Suffolk website, there are
nearly 1,700 international
students from at least 110
different countries.
ISA aims to bring all
international
students
together to create a
community
where
students can work and

in
unity.
The

and allows the group to
have deep, intellectual
and

to gain more perspectives

them with events to

work with students from

to
give
people a well-rounded

“We want to get

alongside

by allowing them to get

deeper level while getting
a taste of other cultures.
“We want to introduce
new cultural events to
others,” said Umit. The
more students that come
to ISA meetings, the
more cultures they get to
explore.
“This is a great club
for American students
to join to experience
different cultures,” said
Tang. The club’s executive
board alone consists of
members from China,
Turkey,
Bangladesh,
and the Philippines. ISA
emphasizes that students
that join the club don’t
have to be international.
“We’re living alongside
so many international
students,” said junior
advertising major and ISA
secretary Rhema Rondina,
“Don’t be afraid to get
to know someone from
a different part of the
world, you can learn so
much.”
For next year, ISA
hopes to hold at least
two events each month
to draw more members
in and promote their
club. “Everyone is always
welcome to come,” said
Umit who explained ISA
feels that being cultured
and well-educated about
different ethnicities will
allow Suffolk to become a
closer community.

Activists struggling to aid undocumented immigrants under Trump

Texas.
Texas
native
Rodrigo Juarez, 27, is
one of many activists
who
work
everyday
to aid undocumented
immigrants
as
they
navigate the way toward
citizenship.
Juarez is currently an
accredited representative
as he was approved by
the Board of Immigration
Appeals to represent the
undocumented before the
Immigration Courts.
“Both of my parents
are from Mexico. And
I’m actually the only one
in my family born in the
States,” said Juarez. He
attended
Texas
A&M
University and carried out
a year of service through
the AmeriCorps program
in Rio Grande Valley.
Shortly
after
actively working with
undocumented students,
Juarez decided to focus
on
immigration
and
attended Lewis and Clark
Law School in Portland,
OR.
He
became
a
co-founder
of
an
immigration
student
group and volunteering
program that sent student
volunteers down to work
at a family detention
center in Dilley, Texas.
Throughout the 2016
presidential
campaign
and within his first 100
days in office, President
Donald
Trump
has
accelerated efforts for the
wall to be constructed. As
an individual working for
a non-profit immigration
organization,
Juarez
experiences
first-hand
the hostile environment
working with Immigration
and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) agents.
“There had been a
change in the attitudes and
practices of Department
of Homeland Security
(DHS)/ICE. Like before, if
you had a favorable case,
ICE would work with
you. They would consider
letting your client go on
bond or on their own
recognizance or parole,”
said Juarez. He said that
the rules have become
much more rigid.
“They’ll fight you on
anything and everything.
They’ll oppose anything
in court even if the
proposed action legally
doesn’t make any sense.
They’ll refuse to issue
or even consider bond if
your client has any sort of
criminal history.”
ICE’s
aggression
toward
undocumented
individuals has rapidly
increased. According to
the U.S. Immigration and
Customs
Enforcement,
in 2016 ICE conducted
240,255
removals
compared to 235,413
removals in 2015.
“There are reports
of ICE agents raiding
courthouses
and
hospitals and picking up
people who are going
to interviews with the
United States Citizenship
and Immigration Services
(USCIS). They are not only
detaining people with
these raids and breaking
up families but they’re
having a massive chilling
effect on the entire
system,” said Juarez.
The
American
Bar
Association offers pro
bono programs such as
the South Texas Pro Bono
Asylum
Representation
Project (ProBAR), which
Juarez is currently a part
of.
Suffolk
University
Law School encourages
faculty
and
staff,
who are attorneys, to
cooperate with pro bono
programs that are spread
throughout the nation.
The law school also
has

French populism finds its face in Le Pen
Nick Viveiros
Journal Staff
Independent candidate
Emmanuel Macron and
former National Front
leader Marine Le Pen
will face off in a historic
presidential
election
in France after their
victories in Sunday’s first
round of voting.
“We have changed the
face of French political
life in one year,” Macron
told a jubilant crowd of
supporters in a victory
speech Sunday night.
Macron was propelled to
victory by supporters of
his political movement,
“En Marche!,” translating
to a single English word:
“forward”.
Macron, a left-leaning
centrist, won with 23.75
percent of the vote, while
Le Pen, a nationalist
often
compared
to
Donald
Trump,
came
in second with 21.53
percent, according to the
French Interior Ministry.
The winner of the final
round of voting on May
7 will succeed outgoing
President
François
Hollande of the Socialist
Party. Hollande declined
to run for reelection in
December, and recently
endorsed Macron.
The election marks
a historic break from
French political norms, as
socialists and the centerright have battled for the
past 70 years for control
of the nation. This is the
first election in which
neither faction fielded a
second round candidate
since
the
formation
of the Fifth French
Republic under a revised
constitution
in
1958,
according to multiple
news sources.
The Socialist Party and
Republicans have rallied
around Macron. JeanChristophe
Cambadélis,
first secretary of the
Socialist
Party,
told
Euronews that the party
will engage in a massive
get-out-the-vote effort on
behalf of Macron, noting
that “it is out of the
question that [the people]
let France lose its soul.”
Macron, 39, would
be
France’s
youngest
president if he wins,
and has never served in
any elected capacity. He
left investment banking
for a position in the
government of Socialist
President
François
Hollande before becoming
economic minister in
2014, a post he held until
resigning last April to run
for president. Macron’s
platform is described
as
true
centrism,
incorporating liberal and
conservative policy on an
issue-by-issue basis.
At
her
own
headquarters,
Le
Pen
celebrated her historic
victory as well. Long
considered an underdog
by commentators and
analyst,
she
sharply
rebuked
mainstream
political order in her own
speech.
“The
system
has
sought all means to stifle
the great political debate
that this election should
have been,” Le Pen said
following her victory,
reported the Financial
Times.
The right-wing brand
of politics Le Pen offers
ignores
traditional
conservative and liberal
dogma
in
favor
of
populism, a brand of
politics which focuses
on popular, immediate
concerns
insted
of
ideological
purity.
It
argues voters have been
cheated by the ‘political
elite.’
A centerpiece of Le
Pen’s campaign has been
the restoration of what
she calls an “independent
France.” According to
her campaign website,
Le Pen plans to “achieve
a
European
project
respectful
of
the
independence of France”
through a referendum
on
the
“European
experiment,”
offering
a real possibility of a
“Brexit” repeat should Le
Pen win the presidency.
“The EU world is
ultra-liberalism,
savage
globalisation, artificially
created across nations,”
Le Pen told BBC radio in
November. “I believe that
this world is dead.”
Le Pen’s France also
includes a “simplification”
of the French government,
leaving
behind
the
traditional system of a
layered
administrative
state in favor of a more
streamlined approach.
On social issues, Le Pen
and the National Front
offer a mixed bag. While
Le Pen has come out in
favor of unconditional
abortion access and gay
marriage, her campaign
website states she also
wishes to “restore real
equality and meritocracy
by rejecting the principle
of ‘affirmative action.’”
It is on the issue of
immigration,
however,
that Le Pen fully and
unapologetically adopts
the
far-right’s
canon.
According to BBC, the
2017 National Front’s
party platform promises
a “massive reduction in
legal immigration.”
“If you come to our
country, don’t expect that
you will be taken care of,”
Le Pen said of government
assistance for immigrants
in a December 2016
speech in Paris. “That’s
finished now, it’s the end
of playtime.”
The election overseas
has had an impact on
the Suffolk community,
where nearly a quarter
of students hail from
outside the United States.
W
“I heard a lot of people
here in the U.S. saying
that Trump is sexist,
homophobic and racist; in
France, the public opinion
is the same regarding
Le Pen,” said sophomore
communications
and
marketing major Celia
Del-Rey.
A native of France
currently studying abroad
at
the
International
University of Monaco,
Del-Rey
noted
the
polarization is as extreme
overseas as it is in the
United States.
The connections many
make between Le Pen and
President Donald Trump
are not lost on Del-Rey.
“I would say that [Le
Pen] and her policies are
associated with Trump by
both her supporters and
opponents. Those who [do
not support her] see her
the same as those who
did not support Trump.
Either she is adulated, or
she is hated,” said DelRey.

Cabaret
Spotlight shines on Rampage show Choir’s Cabaret
Nick Viveiros / Journal Staff

The third floor of
Sawyer was alive with
the sounds of the silver
screen on Saturday night
as performers took to
the stage for the Suffolk
University show choir’s
annual Cabaret.
Members of Rampage,
performed
a
variety
of
musical
numbers
taken from Hollywood
blockbusters,
as
the
theme this year was
“Lights,
Camera,
Rampage.”
The
show
began
with a rendition of
OneRepublic’s “Love Runs
Out,” which featured all of
Rampage’s 16 members.
The performance was
a well-received opener
for what turned out to
be a stellar production.
The
choreography
for
Rampage’s
group
numbers was arranged by
sophomore dance captains
theatre
major
Kelsey
Whipple and fine arts
major Julianna Fielding,
and complemented the
musical
arrangements
quite nicely.
As one of the standout
independent acts of the
evening,
sophomore
Rebecca McAuliffe belted
out a soulful rendition
of Etta James’ 1962
hit “Something’s Gotta
Hold On Me.” As she
sang, junior broadcast
journalism major Felicity
Otterbein and sophomore
business major Charles
Tang
added
some
background vocals.
Saturday’s cabaret was
the last curtain call for
Rampage’s seniors; they
really stole the show, both
in group performances
and
individual
acts.
Rampage president and
senior public relations
major Victoria Laroque
and senior marketing
major Casey O'Leary took
on the roles of Simba and
Zazu for a duet of “I Just
Can’t Wait to be King”
from the 1994 animated
hit “The Lion King.”
Laroque returned in the
second act with McAuliffe
to perform “The Cup
Song” of “Pitch Perfect.”
“I started show choir
in high school,” Laroque
told The Suffolk Journal
during the post-show
reception.
Her passion
for the arts began long
before she became a Ram.
“I loved show choir in
high school, and knew I
wanted to continue with
it or something like it,
and Suffolk was the only
school near me that had
a show choir,” she said.
Laroque, a marketing
major from Lowell, Mass.,
said that as she researched
more about the school, it
“all fell into place.”
One of the most wellreceived acts of the night
featured junior marketing
major
Kevin
Landers
and
junior
theatre
major
Victoria
Isotti
as Ryan and Sharpay
Evans of “High School
Musical” performing a
rendition of “Bop to the
Top.” With an audience
comprised of those who
grew up listening to
and
appreciating
the
franchise, this particular
number was received with
rounds of applause and a
brief trip down memory
lane.
It was with the second
to last act - the senior
number - when it became
apparent that the seniors
realized what was already
known: this is it. The
cohort of four took to the
stage to perform “Come
So Far (Got So Far to Go)”
from “Hairspray.” While
the quartet was all smiles
as
they
maneuvered
around the stage singing
the classic show tune,
even the audience could
tell
that
there
was
something very different
about the final curtain
call. Based on the facial
expressions of the small
group, it was clear that
they realized that this
would be one of their last
performances with the
group.
As a whole, Rampage
delivered
what
is
quickly becoming their
standard
performance:
well-executed
without
the sort of phony “puttogetherness” of other
show choirs. There was
a certain charm that
the
group
displayed
that
doesn’t
really
exist
amongst
other
performance
groups.
And, with an increasingly
competent
group
of
underclassmen taking the
stage, Rampage is in good
hands for years to come.

A
“Fractured Inferno” poses question for life
Portrayed
as
man’s very long
confused journey,
the
storyline
follows
Michael,
played
by
freshman theatre major
Liam Grimaldi who is
guided by a mysterious
ally
named
Gabriel,
played by sophomore
theatre major Michael
Greene. Those who are
invested in Christianity
and understand biblical
references will be able
to appreciate the subtle,
and at times not-so-subtle
jabs at what happens in
the afterlife.
Gabriel, in Abrahamic
religions, is an angel who
acts as God’s messenger.
In various biblical texts,
he is depicted as someone
who interprets dreams
and reveals information
to
those
seeking
guidance. In this instance,
Gabriel acts as Michael’s
guide through the nine
circles of hell: limbo, lust,
gluttony, greed, anger,
heresy, violence, fraud
and treachery. Gabriel
is known to stand in the
presence of God, and
therefore knows all about
his power and routinely

It takes an incredible
amount of creativity and
imagination to be able to
create an original play.
It’s easy to succumb to
performing yet another
rendition of a Shakespeare
tragedy
or
explore
Henrik Ibsen’s realism.
On it’s own, writing and
directing in the theater is
a feat in and of itself, but
it is a completely separate
ordeal when you try to
make said play interesting
and
entertaining
to
audiences. Linnea Rose
and Suffolk University’s
own
senior
theatre
major Andrew Bourque,
managed to do both in
their recent production
of “Fractured Inferno.”
Brought to life within
the walls of the Sullivan
Theater, the hour-long
play was an intellectual
mashup that combined
both
the
storylines
from the literary classic,
“Dante’s Inferno,” and
warped tales from the
Brothers Grimm.
cites psalms and passages
from the bible during the
performance in order to
provide insight to the
activity occurring within
each circle.
The
performance
begins with a few rows of
people standing in what
appears to be organized
lines similar to that of a
military regiment. They
are all dressed in army
green and appear to
be staring off into the
distance. There is no
sound, no movement,
no kind of indication as
to what is happening
until a man, Michael,
appears to snap out of
this trance and voices his
confusion and questions
the whereabouts of his
son, effectively breaking
the silence.
This
circle
is
undoubtedly the first
circle of hell, limbo.
Argued across spiritual
belief
systems,
this
space has been referred
to
as
an
area
of
nothingness, purgatory,
the Department of Motor
Vehicles.
In
religious
belief systems, purgatory
is a space for those who
have not been assigned
to Heaven or hell. It
is here where Michael
and Gabriel first meet,
and Gabriel calmly tells
Michael that he must
start a journey across the
remaining circles in order
to locate his son.
The play itself toted
numerous
biblical
references and is suited
for those who keep up
with popular culture and
classic fairy tales. The
allusions to stories like
Cinderella and Hansel
and Gretel, paralleled
with psalms and readings
from the Book of Timothy
proved to be not only
educational
but
also
entertaining.
Gabriel cited Luke
12:15 during the scene
revolving around the circle
of hell identified as greed,
“Then he said to them,
‘Watch out! Be on your
guard against all kinds
of greed; life does not
consist in an abundance
of possessions.’” In this
particular scene, Princess
Cinderella has taken over
the kingdom and seems
to answer that lingering
question at the end of the
classic Disney movie, “but
what happens to Lady
Tremaine and the wicked
step-sisters?”
Shown
through body language
and insinuating dialogue,
it becomes clear that the
trio has been enslaved by
Cinderella out of spite
and pettiness.
When the pair stumble
upon this situation, they
are faced with one of
many depictions of greed.
In this case, greed is
personified by taking on
the image of what was
once a kind and sweet
figment of Walt Disney’s
imagination. It shows
the true power of the
emotion, and how greed
and selfishness can go
hand in hand.
For Cinderella, a girl
who had nothing and
then was immediately
given everything, it’s easy
to see how such power
went to her head. Perhaps
acting as a metaphor for
remaining humble and
kind no matter your social
status,
this
powerful
scene resonated within
the four walls of the black
box theater.
Across the nine circles
of hell, the audience
comes to learn more
about Michael and the
reason for this journey.
It comes to light that his
wife and son have lived
complete lives without
him due to his infidelity
within his marriage. After
cheating on his wife and
leaving his family due to
shame, the play acts as
his reflection on his life
and the decisions that led
him to this point.
Perhaps this play acts
as a reminder not to
cheat on your significant
other. Perhaps it acts
as a reminder to make
purposeful decisions that
will benefit all of those
in which that decision
will potentially affect.
The beauty of creating
original content is that
the interpretation is left
to the viewers, it’s openended and fresh and has
limitless
potential
to
become something that
will be analyzed and
deciphered for years to
come.

Film critic discusses impact of politics on cinema

Journal Staff
American
television
and film has been thought
to mirror the political
climate of the time it was
originally produced. To
analyze this, and predict
how this may play out in
the future, Pulitzer Prize
winning critic for the The
New York Times, Wesley
Morris, spoke at Suffolk
University's
Modern
Theatre.
In
an
event
sponsored by the Suffolk
Cinema Series, Morris
acknowledged
the
controversy that exists
in politics, and posed
the
question,
“what
responsibility does the
culture have in terms of
responding to [politics]?”
He explained that
although he does not
have a simple answer to
this, he does think it is
always interesting to see
how artists will respond
to shifts in politics.
Morris
went
on
to show a clip from
the 1974 movie, “The
Parallax
View.”
This
movie,
directed
by
showcased an example
of a plot based around
presidential assassination
and suspicion. Morris
offered that these themes
were direct results of the
common general feeling
of the time after the
Kennedy
assassination,
with an array of political
suspicions
centered
around illegal activities by
the Nixon administration
during the Watergate
scandal.
Where
the
Nixon
a d m i n i s t r a t i o n
created distrust of the
government,
Morris
summarizes the main
character of the movie
as constantly threatened
and followed, creating a
total lack of privacy.
As this was a time of
heightened
suspicion
and when it seemed
threats loomed behind
every
corner,
Morris
explained that this movie
exemplified a widespread
feeling Americans were
experiencing.
Morris demonstrated
that during the ‘70s, the
antagonist
was
often
mysterious and unknown
fought against a singular
villain with clear motives.
As Morris explained, the
Rocky movies are often
considered to have been
a
direct
commentary
of the debate between
the white boxer vs.
the black boxer. But in
there weren't a lot of
popular movies that did
that.”
In a “Rocky IV” clip
presented
during
the
talk, Morris showed a
clear separation between
the training sequences
of the two boxers. The

somehow and beat us
without our being ready
for it,” said Morris.
This
theme
of
separation between the
America and the Soviet
Union was presented in

“Rocky IV” from 1985,
the conflict changes, and
we see a fight between
an American boxer and a
Russian boxer.
Compared to other
movies made in this time,
Morris said, “Rocky was

movies that put everyone

what Morris described
as, “God’s own workout
equipment,” things like
rocks and pieces of wood,
and the Russian, that uses
steroids and complicated
technological
exercise
machines.
“There are a lot of
time.
“You have basically
one man, versus an entire
state,” said Morris.
As
time
passed,
Morris said that the new
“boogeyman” in American
movies started to become
Arab people committing
some acts of terrorism.
Denzel Washington, “The
Siege,” where thousands
of Arab-Americans had
been placed in internment
camps in order to find
a suspect. He said that,
“Islam is part of how we
understand terrorism in
this movie.”
“The
Earth
was
destroyed [in film] more
times during Obama’s
presidency than in any
other
period,”
said
Morris. He associated this
with the end-of-the-world
style fears that developed
in some groups after
President Obama took
office, as well as fears
of global war and world
disaster as a result of
climate change.
Despite all of these
parallels between film and
current political climate
in the past, Morris said
he was not sure he would
see the same correlation
between
the
Trump
administration and film.

Suffolk seniors offer their last sentiments before they
leave The Journal, solidifying their time at the university.
By Sam Humphrey,
Newsroom Manager
By Skylar To,
By Katie Dugan,
Sports Editor
Asst. Opinion Editor
I’ll be graduating from Suffolk University soon,
and as I think about the school I’m leaving, I
wonder how I’ll feel when I think about Suffolk
after I’m long gone.
The answer is not much. I’ve grown and come to
see the world differently than I did four years ago,
but most of those experiences didn’t come from my
education, in terms of college classes.
I chose Suffolk because it advertised itself as a
stable institution that would challenge me to learn
and grow as a person. But in my experience, the
opposite has been true.
I’ve had four presidents come and go during my
time here, and not one got a chance to be the face,
the leader of this school.
Along with the Board
of Trustees, many of
them promoted a plan
to “put Suffolk on the
map” and improve our
school. But if there is a
guiding vision or a plan
for the community to
line up for and support,
they’ve done a poor job
of communicating it to
us.
The campus I arrived
at is mostly gone or
significantly changed.
That’s not all bad,
but the places most
memorable to me, like
the Donahue building,
where I first joined
The Journal -- my only
experience at Suffolk
I truly enjoyed -- have
been erased from the
school’s story. What’s
left is an awkward
hodgepodge of spaces
spread across markedly
dissimilar buildings. Our campus is Boston, but it
is indistinguishable from the city, too.
Then there’s my education. I made Dean’s list in
the past, but I was recognized for two semesters in
which I felt as though my professors rewarded me
for such minimal effort.
In other semesters, I worked harder to do
well and earned grades I deserved, but I only got
recognized for the semesters I slacked off. I’ve
had perhaps four or five truly great, challenging,
and rewarding classes. But many of my courses,
particularly sophomore and junior year, weren’t
even average. They filled in my schedule, they met
my degree requirements, but they didn’t provide
me with much of anything to carry into my career.
My internships and various jobs have filled in the
areas Suffolk lacked in teaching.
While I hope other graduates had a better
experience, this is how I leave Suffolk -- an average
graduate with some skills and life experience to
help me, but no loyalty or love for the school I’ve
spent four years of my life attending.
When I was a senior in high school, I thought
college was going to be a magical, life-affirming
experience that would be absolutely perfect.
Now, four years later, I realize how naive I was.
The most valuable lesson that I have learned at
Suffolk University is that nothing in life will be
perfect. College is not all aesthetically pleasing
Instagram posts and partying. Life happens,
things go wrong and things will happen to you
that will completely knock you off your feet and
change how you think about everything. We
can’t always choose the cards we are dealt, but
we can learn how to play them.
When I think of my time at Suffolk, one of
my favorite quotes comes to mind that reads,
“bloom where you are planted.” My encounters
at Suffolk have taught me to make the most of a
bad situation. Suffolk is not without its faults, due
to the inconsistencies with the administration
and the constant changes that have many
students exasperated with the university, and
understandably so. Even with the aspects of how
this university is operated that are incredibly
frustrating-- I do not resent Suffolk.
I have made peace with my time at Suffolk.
I obtained what I needed out of my experiences
for my own personal growth and happiness. It
was not perfect and there are plenty of mistakes
I have made over the past four years that I wish
I could undo. Instead of being miserable and
accepting not ideal conditions that I could not
change, I decided to change my attitude.
I became more involved at this university. I
participated heavily in The Journey Leadership
Program, a Teaching Assistant for two years,
Alternative Spring Break and The Suffolk Journal.
Looking back, I have accomplished so much
more than I give myself credit for. I have dozens
of articles published in The Suffolk Journal over
four years, I was asked to join the editorial staff
as the Assistant Opinion Editor my senior year.
These priceless experiences will stay with me
for the rest of my life. If I had not been more
proactive about my college experience, I never
would have made so many connections with my
professors, classmates and coworkers, who have
turned out to be some of the most incredible
people.
Almost every single person I have met
at Suffolk has greeted me with nothing but
kindness and respect. Maybe it’s the turbulent
climate that has ultimately bonded everyone,
or maybe everyone here is simply genuine.
Regardless, I have been exceptionally fortunate
with the friend groups I fell into even with the
instability at the university.
Every piece of my Suffolk experience, while
at times seemed small and meaningless, has
prepared me for the next step. Overall, I am
happy with the person I am today and I owe
much of that to the positive experiences I’ve
had at Suffolk, including the highs and the lows.
Suffolk University surely was not a traditional
college experience for me, but it was the
experience I needed.
I was just another freshman four years ago with
a cliché dream of going to school in the city and
making it “big” someday as an aspiring journalist.
I was hoping to get the college experience at
Suffolk and started to think that I would leave here
as just another number two years in.
I got a late start, but fast-forward to the end of
my junior year and I could finally justify being at
Suffolk, because of The Suffolk Journal.
I woke up at 4 a.m. on a Thursday morning in
early November last year and acted on a strong
urge to start getting involved and writing for the
school newspaper.
I went to my first meeting that following week
and took my first pitch,
which of course, was
a game recap of the
Boston
Bruins
and
Colorado Avalanche.
Since then, even
though I never followed
sports
besides
the
Bruins
growing
up,
I rolled with sports.
Because of The Journal,
I learned to step out of
my comfort zone and
worked on building my
writing portfolio.
I realized that I could
actually envision myself
as a sports journalist.
My absolute favorite
part of writing for
sports is the community
aspect of it.
Whether it is going
to
games,
sporting
events or listening to
people boast about their
favorite team or their
love for the game, it is
so incredibly awesome
to see and hear the passion that unravels for the
love many people have for sports-- both Suffolk
and Boston especially.
Boston sticks together through the highs and
lows and being a part of the “best sports city in the
world” exemplifies that.
Even though I will no longer be eating pizza on
production nights or walk into the office and look
forward to seeing my best friends every day, it was
an absolute honor and pleasure to work with this
year’s Journal staff, especially to produce some of
our best work yet.
I will always be a storyteller and share the
stories of others through my writing. But, in the
few times like this, I get to share my story-- print
wise.
Even though it was for a little more than a
year, I will finally get to say that I lived the college
experience at Suffolk, because of The Journal.

It should be mandatory
to fact check both what
President Donald Trump
says and his tweets.
It seems that many
Americans will believe
whatever
he
chooses
to say or write and by
doing so, have shielded
themselves from the facts.
During his campaign,
Trump sent out a tweet
stating that inner-city
crime is reaching record
levels. This tweet, which
is extremely inaccurate,
is based solely on opinion
with no statistics taken
into account. In fact,
violent crime has been
declining for more than
five years, according to
the Pew Research Center.
They even go as far as
to say that United States
citizens view of violent
crime doesn’t often align
with the data, saying that
citizens believe the rates
of crime are higher than
the reality.
It
is
unacceptable
that our now current
president is not paying
attention to simple facts
that a sophomore in
college can easily find
from reputable sources.
It is even shocking that
many people believe him

for the factual data.
In 2015, the violent
crime
rate
increased
by 3.1 percent when
compared
to

statistics, according to FBI
crime data. However, this
percentage is insignificant
compared to the thirteen
years before where the
crime rate consistently
declined.
There are statistics
that show the rise and
fall of crime rates and
it seems that Trump
has not taken a glance
at any real information
that could possibly help
him win over liberal
voters. It is said that the
violent
crime
decline
has been happening for
decades and that small
increases in few cities
have exaggerated the
rates, according to the
Washington Post.

violent crime rate fell 50
percent, according to the
Pew Research Center.
So, what does one do
with this information?
It seems clear that
many
people
believe
that violent crime in
urban areas is increasing
but the statistics say
otherwise. There may
be a few spikes in cities
such as Chicago, but
that doesn’t contribute
to all city crime. There
are speculations to why
the crime rate has gone
up but there is not
enough information to
say for sure. And even
though Trump said he
would “bring in the
feds” in Chicago, the
feds are already working
with the police force
there, according to the
Washington Post.
Personally, it seems
clear
that
Trump’s
statements should be
taken with a grain of salt
and if Americans want
the
real
information,
they should take it
upon themselves to fact
check what our current
president says and tweets.
Law

officials were at a loss
of how to explain the
different decreases and
increases
of
violent
crimes rates in major
cities in 2016, according
to the New York Times. It
appears that murders and
most other times of crime
are at an all time low
since their record high in
the 1990s.
If we are at record
lows, doesn’t it make
sense that the numbers
would go up? Especially
in
highly
populated
urban areas, it seems that

crime would be common.
But a small increase or
increases in few cities
does not mean that there
is an epidemic nor is it
related to one group of
people.
Overall, there is no
definitive
answer
to
what has caused spikes
in major cities across the
U.S. but it could be that
there are many different
areas that these urban
landscapes must do better
on such as the quality of
policing,
gang-violence
and socioeconomic status.
Not only with urban
crime, but other issues

Americans,
it should be clear to not

Caps o f f t o S uf f olk
se ni o rs f i nal at bat
Hannah Arroyo
Asst. Sports Editor
With seven games left
in their season, senior
second baseman BJ Neil
said that his team’s focus
is to prove that his class
was the “most successful
in the history of Suffolk
Athletics.”
The past two seasons
Suffolk has been backto-back
conference
champions
with
wins
over St. Joseph’s College
and Johnson & Wales
University.
This season, the Suffolk
seniors look to take the
diamond for the last time,
they will work toward
a third Great Northeast
Athletic
Conference
(GNAC) Championship.
“My
favorite
part
about playing baseball
[has been] being able
to compete with my
teammates,” said Neil
in an interview with
The
Suffolk
Journal
on
Monday.
“The
relationship and bond
teammates have with
one another is unique
to sports and cannot be
created anywhere else.”
Neil said that his
time playing for Suffolk
was filled with many
memories of winning
championships
and
forming bonds with his
teammates that will “last
a lifetime.”
Even after he finishes
his collegiate career at
Suffolk as a studentathlete, Neil said that
he hopes for baseball to
remain a constant part of
his life.
Left-hand pitcher Tim
Conroy, who will also
graduate this year, hopes
for his team to end on a
positive note this season.
He said in an interview
with The Journal on
Monday that his favorite
part
about
playing
baseball is that there is
no time restraint on the
game.
“Being a pitcher and
having the ability to
dictate the pace of the
game at all times entitles
you with a sense of power
that you can't really find
in other sports,” said
Conroy.
Conroy said that one
of his most memorable
experiences with the team
was losing the conference
championship in Maine
against
St.
Joseph’s
College
his
freshman
year. He explained that
the loss helped his class
develop as players moving
forward.
“That alone I believe
is one of the reasons
why we have been so
successful
since.
It's
funny how the failures
sometimes stick out more
than the successes,” said
Conroy. “I guess that's
just how you know you're
a competitor.”
As he plays his last
games this season, Conroy
said that he will miss his
team and wishes them the
best of luck in the future.
“I've never been closer
with a group of guys my
whole life and going to
war with these guys over
the past four years helped
me develop some of the
most lasting relationships
that I can ask for,” said
Conroy.
Win or lose, Conroy
said that he has enjoyed
every high and low that
the team has faced.
He also hopes to help
bring home one last
championship for Suffolk
seniors.
“[Moving
forward]
we’re going to stick
together, simplify the
game and out compete
whoever the opponent
may be,” said Conroy.
Throughout
this
season, both Neil and
Conroy had contributed
to their team’s GNAC
chances. Neil has acquired
a batting average of .268,
scored 15 runs and stolen
three
bases.
Conroy
had recorded of 2-1, 16
strikeouts and has pitched
24.2 innings

States.
For
instance,
in other countries the
surfaces of courts vary
compared to the U.S,
where tennis is played on
a hard-surfaced court.
“They taught me all
different types of styles
of tennis from the way
they were brought up
how to play tennis and
incorporated it into my
game, making me not
only a better player with
new various skills, but
also making the whole
team better with new
techniques
and
skills
that we were never fully
familiar with,” said Saia.
Although when Saia
was younger he did
not like to play tennis,
he eventually grew to
love it. His favorite part
about playing tennis at
Suffolk has been hanging
out with his team and
“sharing laughs and good
times together.”
Being
an
active
member on the team,
Saia has made a lot of
memories with his new
teammates each year. He
enjoyed experiencing the
diversity the tennis team
has brought him.
“My freshman year I
was the only American kid
on the team,” said Saia.
“So just learning from
other types of people
from different countries,
how they play tennis and
learning how to speak
Spanish was fun.”
Upon
graduation,
Saia looks for a future
in finance and hopes
to further his career in
New York City. Although
he will not be pursuing
tennis any further, he
will always play in order
to prevent himself from
becoming “washed up.”
“Tennis will always be
incorporated in my life no
matter what,” said Saia.
Saia wants his team
to be remembered as the
ones that kept striving
for better, no matter how
difficult things were. At
the end of the day, Saia
wants the outcome of
the season to be more
than the team could have
imagined.
“All of my experiences
I have learned from my
past three years, this
fourth one I just want to
put it out on the court
and let everybody know
what I have learned and
hopefully the team can
carry it on,” said Saia.

Sen i ors s erve up final tennis season
Brooke Patterson
Asst. Sports Editor
As a solo four-year
tennis program senior,
second-year
captain
Francesco Saia had a
slight heartbreak heading
into this season knowing
it would be his final one
with the Rams.
Suffolk
University’s
tennis team currently
holds a losing record of
2-7, but look toward the
Great Northeast Athletic
Conference
(GNAC)
Semifinal game at Centre
Court against Johnson &
Wales University on April
29.
“You just have take a
deep breath and say this
is my final season, give
everything I have got and
do everything the best
I can,” said Saia in an
interview with The Suffolk
Journal on Monday.
Senior
co-captain
Jacob Duggan, a finance
major, is also in his last
season with the men’s
tennis
team.
Duggan
joined the men’s tennis
team his sophomore year,
after being convinced
by Saia, and has been a
player on the court for
Courtesy of Suffolk Athletics
the Rams for the past
three years. Duggan has a
two match win streak this
season with an overall
personal record of 3-4.
“This being my last
season, I am sad that I
won't get to play tennis
for
Suffolk
anymore,
but am glad that I get
to spend my last season
with such a great group
of guys,” said Duggan in
an interview with The
Journal on Tuesday night.
“As a team, we've come a
long way this season, and
I'm really proud of how
much we have improved.”
Saia, a finance major
who has been playing
tennis since he was
seven years old, went
7-1 his sophomore year
in singles at the threefourth
position
and
currently holds an overall
personal record of 2-6.
Every year since Saia has
been a Ram, he has been
awarded by the GNAC for
second team doubles.
The
senior
duo
contributed to the Rams
9-0 sweep over Lesley
University on April 20
when they were teamed
up in a doubles match
against Lesley athletes,
Niko
Marcolini
and
Beowulf
Urban.
Saia
and Duggan defeated
Marcolini and Urban 8-0.
“I, 100 percent have
developed over the past
four years,” said Saia. “You
can’t just play your own
style anymore, you have
to learn how adapt to the
other players and open
the court to all different
types of players.”
Saia

try different playing styles
from European players to

Feldman paces back to Suffolk
Strides for track & field
Skylar To
Sports Editor
It
felt
like
the
“ultimate homecoming”
for Will Feldman when
he crossed the finish line
at this year’s 121st Boston
Marathon.
Even though his visit
to Boston was brief for his
seventh-career marathon,
Feldman will officially
return to a “special place”
he has always called
home to take on his
new position as Suffolk
University’s
first-ever
head coach of track &
field. Feldman was also
named head coach for
cross country. He will
officially begin both roles
on May 15.
“[Being named head
coach for track & field/
cross
country
feels
amazing to be honest,
it’s
a
dream
come
true,” said Feldman in
a phone interview with
The Suffolk Journal on
Thursday. “It’s hard to
believe that everything
is coming together and
[I can] start building this
program.”
Feldman, who was
announced as head coach
on April 14 by Director of
Athletics Cary McConnell,
said he found out about
the available coaching
position from a press
release
through
The
Boston Globe, which he
had to refresh the page
a few times
before it “finally hit in.”
Toward the end of
serving his second season
as the cross country and
track & field assistant
coach at the University
of North Carolina (UNC)
at Greensboro, Feldman
contacted McConnell and
expressed his interest
in the job. Whether
it
was
coaching
or
supporting track & field
as a supportive alumnus,
Feldman wanted make
sure that the program
would do well.
“When I saw the job
post, I was kind of in
shock,” said Feldman. “I
would never in a million
years dream that Suffolk
would have track & field.
I knew I had to reach out
and do what I could to be
a part of it.”
Feldman said he is
“excited and blown away”
by McConnell’s vision for
track & field and already
thinks the program is
heading in the right
direction. He traveled to
Boston for an interview
in January and said that
he hunched over with
“great excitement for the
first time in five years”
as he had a “really great
experience” visiting and
reconnecting with the
Suffolk community since
he graduated in 2010
with a Bachelor of Arts in
European History.
He was named most
valuable
player
and
served as team captain
for three out of the four
years as a student-athlete
for the men’s cross
country program. He
even began his coaching
career while he was still
an undergraduate student
at Suffolk in 2008 at
Suffolk’s Great Northeast
Athletic
Conference
(GNAC) rival, Emmanuel
College. Feldman said he
and his teammates always
talked about “how cool” it
would be if the athletics
department offered track
& field after cross country
practice.
“I knew how much
Since 2015-16, he has
been the assistant coach
of track & field at UNC at
Greensboro.
From
his
understanding
with
McConnell,
Feldman
expects to carry the same
position
from
North
Carolina to Suffolk, except
working with a smaller
budget and complying to
a stricter rules guideline
by the National Collegiate
Athletic
Association
participating in track &
field and he plans to build
a competitive program.
Feldman said he will
communicate to current
and interested students
for the four varsity
programs. He plans to
partner with Suffolk’s
Undergraduate Admission
to recruit members of the
incoming class of 2021,
as local as Boston Public
Schools and across the
nation like California.
“I would never in a million
years dream that Suffolk would
have track & field.”
-Will Feldman
[track & field] meant to
me and other students
cared a lot,” said Feldman.
“I felt like it needed to be
me.”
After he left Suffolk,
Feldman
stayed
in
the Boston area and
continued
serving
as
an assistant coach and
recruiting coordinator at
Emmanuel College before
he made the move to
work with the coaching
staff at Massachusetts
Institute of Technology
for two years for their
cross country and track &
field programs.
In August 2013, he
moved to North Carolina
and joined the cross
country and track & field
coaching staff at Duke
University in Durham,
North Carolina for two
seasons.
toward
recruiting
methods at the DIII level.
For instance, Feldman is
able to recruit studentathletes year round to
UNC at Greensboro and
communicate to prospects
via email as early as
September of their junior
year and over the phone
heading into their senior
year by July whereas
at Suffolk, coaches can
start
communicating
with prospective studentathletes the summer after
their junior year.
However, the switch
from DI to DIII is minor
for Feldman and he said
he is really excited to
have the ability to recruit
as a first-time head coach
nationally.
Through
McConnell,
Feldman
has an “extensive list”
of students, who have
expressed interest in
“I’m
looking
for
students
who
can
definitely contribute to
the team,” said Feldman.
“I want to work hard to
explain to them what it
means to be a studentathlete.”
“I’m excited to really
get the word about Suffolk
in general and build
the program. “Suffolk’s
really committed to this
program.”
Even
though
the
athletics
department
anticipated for track &
field to begin for the 201617 academic year since its
addition to the varsity line
up last summer, track &
field will officially begin
this fall after men’s and
women’s cross country
concludes its season in
mid-November. Outdoor
track & field will start at
the end of next March
to beginning of April or
even May as Feldman
Courtesy of Suffolk Athletics
already
anticipates
a
GNAC Championship run.
Practice will start up in
the fall and the majority
of both indoor and
outdoor track & field will
practice together.
“My expectations [for
the programs] are high,”
said Feldman. “What I
think we’ll accomplish in
a few years is: laying the
foundation, establishing
[team]
culture
and
building
success
of
student-athletes.
We’re
going to be hard to beat
in the conference once we
get going.”
He thinks it may
appear to others that he
is leaving UNC, a Division
I (D1) institution for a
coaching position at a
Division III (DIII) school,
but he said his decision
was “a no brainer and you
can’t put a price tag to go
back to your home.”
“It’ll be bittersweet
to say goodbye to the
[UNC at Greensboro track
& field] team, but I’ve
always had the dream of
coaching track & field at
Suffolk,” said Feldman.
And he only had to wait
seven years for it, which
felt more like a decade for
Feldman.

Trustees, have worked
and deliberated to ensure
that the dollar figures
going forward lineup
with both the strategic
plan and the university’s
budget explained Sander.
According to Crowley,
the allocation of revenue
is based upon what the
university needs.
Both Crowley and a
university spokesperson
echoed that although
the best interest of the
students are in mind
when tuition prices are
discussed,
attending
Suffolk is a significant
“investment for students
and their families.”
Some students in the
Suffolk community are
not entirely satisfied with
the rising price of tuition
and
although
beleive
there is a rationale, in
the future would like for
funding to be drawn from
other sources rather than
increasing tuition costs.
“The
thing
about
a tuition increase is
that it absolutely does
put an extra financial
burden on students, that
I believe are already
burdened by the costs
of Suffolk,” said Student
Government Association
(SGA)
Treasurer-elect
Logan Trupiano in an
interview
with
The
Journal
late
Tuesday
night. “It is my hope that
the administration gives
a detailed explanation of
where this money goes,
and why they’re asking
students for more money.
And for the future, I hope
they can find a different
route for the extra funds,
instead of from the
students.”
One
student,
SGA
Senator
Jonathan
McTague, a government
and economics major,
believes that the tuition
hike is inevitable and is
happy with the results
that have been welcomed
onto campus. McTague
said in an interview with
The Journal late Tuesday
night
he
personally
believes an increase of
student aid should be
implemented to combat
the rising tuition cost not
only at Suffolk, but across
the country. He said the

“Although

inevitable,” said McTague.
“For that reason I’m happy
to actually see results

From ANDREWS page 1 always helped to get our would make my day go
in such a short time,
it was unbelievable, it
was like little sisters. We
joked around, we’d sing
at the end of the night
as we were closing, we’d
put music on and she’d
be singing, it was just
beautiful. I loved to see
her happy like that, to see
her in wonderland” said
Lopez.
Many of her coworkers
will remember her for
her years of dedication
to her job. “I’ve known
her for about two and a
half years. She was very
devoted to work and
keeping the place clean”
said fellow Sodexo worker
Lars Bower.
Michael Nowak, the
chef manager in the 150
Tremont dining hall will
remember her for her
work ethic. “She was
always informative with
all the students, she
promotions out. She kept
the dining room cleaner
than any other person.
She was always out here
running back and forth,
always very thorough in
everything she did” he
said.
For some, Andrews
was more than just a
coworker. “Initta was
like a daughter, like a
niece, like a best friend”
said
Darrell
Young,
smiling at his memories
with her. “She was such
a high spirited person.
Now I don’t know how
high spirited she was
outside of work, but
when she walked through
those doors, it was just
uplifting.”
Young had nothing
but positive memories
to share about Andrews.
“The days that I’d work
and she’d work, I would
just look forward to
seeing her, because I
knew she was just going
to say something that
better than I planned.
She was a wonderful
person, and she will be
remembered for life. She
touched my heart, I must
say, she was the most
beautiful person.”
Diane
Hairston,
a
fellow
coworker
who
worked side by side with
Andrews for several years
was especially touched
by the shining light that
Andrews was.
“She was like my girl,
all of us, she was our
girl. She always came in
and greeted us with a
smile, no matter how she
felt, she always gave us
a smile. She would help
anybody out who needed
it. I just love her, I miss
her, I’m going to miss
her for a long time” said
Hairston.
Andrews never missed
an opportunity to make
her coworkers smile. “I
miss her hugs. She used
to come right up to us and
hug us” said Hairston.
Amy Shantzis will miss
the sense of community
that Andrews created
among everyone that
worked alongside her.
“Initta was very very
warm, she was super
loving and kind and
welcoming.
She
was
always inviting people
to go out, and kind of
create a really big family
environment within the
building. It doesn’t matter
who you were, she would
greet you as if she knew
you her entire life.”
Despite the passing
of her friend, Lopez has
decided to go ahead with
the trip the pair had
planned. She will travel to
New York City, where she
will bring a photograph
of Andrews with her as a
way to honor her dreams
and to celebrate the life
of her friend.

recruit new students.
As part of the extended
university strategic plan
through 2019, Suffolk
has planned to partner
with an international
student recruitment firm- this has not been an
influence in obtaining the
conclusion of next year’s
4.85 percent increase
according to a university
spokesperson. The price
increase has been directed
at fulfilling the projects
Suffolk in in the process
of completing, as well as
the plans that have been
proposed in the strategic
plan.
“We’re
definitely
investing in the Suffolk
Experience
and
the
academic
opportunity,”
said
a
university
spokesperson.
With the tuition set to
increase by 4.76 percent
for the 2018 fiscal year,
some students are more
concerned about their
long-term finances and
overall cost of attending
the university-- regardless
of the beneficial resources
the
university
has
provided.
“[The cost of attending
Suffolk] too high. Even if
you [have] a scholarship
it’s still going to keep you
in debt for a long time,”
said freshman accounting
major Audra Cook. “The
fact that you can rent an
apartment in Boston for
less than it costs to just
stay in a dorm on campus
should show that [Suffolk
is] too expensive.”

Protestors sweep through Downtown against Trump
Felicity Otterbein
Arts Editor
Protesters
gathered
around the Park Street
T-stop as overcast skies
loomed over the growing
crowd
late
Friday
afternoon.
Chanting
“no war on Syria,” and
“hands off Syria,” the
crowd of 200 gathered
to voice their criticisms
regarding
the
recent
airstrike authorized by
President Trump against
the Syrian government
and forewarned that the
country could be going to
war.
One of the main
organizers of the protest
was
Massachusetts
Peace
Action
(MAP),
a
60-year-old
group,
the organization is the
largest grassroots peace
organization
in
the
country.
“We’re
upset
that
President
Trump
has
launched
an
armed
attack on Syria, that is
against U.S. law,” said
MAP Executive Director
Cole Harrison in a recent
interview
with
The
Suffolk Journal. “For the
President to start a war
without Congress, it is
also against international
law.”
With the help of six
peace
organizations,
campus
and
socialist
groups, the demonstration
was organized at 1:00
a.m. on Friday morning,
and was then up and
running by Friday evening
according to Harrison.
According to Harrison,
there is no sure way to
know who ordered the
initial chemical attack in
Syria, which supposedly
acted as the catalyst for
the U.S. airstrike. Harrison
said that even though it is
difficult to try and solve
the ongoing issues in
Syria, an airstrike is not
the right way to solve any
problem.
According
to
NBC
News, the U.S. fired 59
Tomahawk cruise missiles
at Syria on Thursday
night in response to what
it believes was a chemical
weapons attack that killed
more than 100 people.
According to White House
Officials,
the
graphic
images arising from the
damage done by the
chemical weapon attack
on Tuesday afternoon
carried significant weight
for
President
Trump,
which lead him him to
pursue possible routes of
action. Syria claimed that
at least six people were
killed after the missiles
landed, but the Pentagon
said that civilians were
not targeted and that
the strike was aimed at
a military airfield in the
city of Homs.
Harrison
claimed
that this airstrike was a
way to distract people
from President Trump’s
domestic problems due to
his unpopularity amongst
American
residents.
Harrison also said that
this action was an attempt
to increase his popularity
and have more civilians
fall in line behind him
and support a potential
war.
“The American people
are not going to be
benefited by this and he
wants 54 billion dollars
increase
in
military
spending, he’s [going to]
take it out of everything
that people depend on.
He’s going to take it out
of housing, education,
environmental protection,
and everything else and
we have to stop these
wars immediately,” said
Harrison.
Martha
Neuman,
junior
Northeastern
student, told The Journal
that she was contacted by
one of her co-organizers
the night of the attack
in Syria and the two
decided to take action.
Working together with
MPA,
Neuman
said
she
appreciated
the
grassroots aspect of the
demonstration.
“We can’t stay silent,
we can’t sit back and let
people continue to be
killed both by (President
Bashar al-) Assad and by
the U.S. government,” she
said.
Harrison said that
he was pleased with
the turnout that was
generated
by
the
organizations
involved
and
estimated
that
there were about 200
participants involved. He
said that he hopes that
these people will go back
to their campuses and
communities to educate
those who are interested
in joining the movement,
as
well
as
visiting
Congress members to
demand further action.
Harrison
told
The
Journal that the next
demonstration he will be
a part of will be a TaxDay march in Cambridge
on April 15 in the hopes
of shedding light on
Trump’s budget and its
potential effects on the
public.
Harrison
also
said that the protest will
be calling attention to
the tax system and will
be calling on Trump to
release his own taxes.

Flood in 10 West leaves some misplaced,
others return back to their original dormitories
Kyle Crozier
Journal Staff
Students have begun
to
move
back
into
their rooms after being
displaced while work to
repair
water-damaged
10 West rooms was
underway.
Now
after
nearly three weeks, the
maintenance process has
come to a close for some,
while
others
remain
separated
from
their
roommates
and
their
belongings.
During construction,
students had been asked
by administration to stay
out of the way, forcing
many of the students to
attempt to work around
the schedules of the
workers in order to enter
their rooms and retrieve
any property they needed.
Residents of room 313
stated that when they
were in their room, they
had positive experiences
with the workers. Gia
Sarkis said that talking
to the workers, “gave us
the updates we weren’t
getting from ResLife.”
Issues did arrive when
Suffolk
administration
heard that students had
returned to their rooms
unattended, leading to
Jessica Wheeler, Suffolk’s
Residence Director, to
email a group of students
to inform them of her
concern. Wheeler wrote
to the students, “We
want to get you back into
your room as quickly as
possible and that requires
some compliance on your
end.”
In an interview with
The Journal, sophomore
Jillian Hanson said that
she and her roommates
had done their best to
stay out of the way of any
work being done, but that,
“we needed to get our
books, I don’t know how
they were expecting us
to be productive without
our class material.”
The
process
of
relocation
proved
to be a stressor for
several students, who
were subject to many
inconsistencies
with
placement
into
their
temporary housing. Some
students were offered
hotel rooms for their
period out of the dorms,
while another had been
asked to sleep in a room
with two other strangers,
exceeding the designed
capacity of the suite.
Michal
Kanra,
a
resident of room 214, was
lucky enough to be asked
to stay coincidentally with
his roommate from the

Room 313 in 10 West.
previous year, while 213
resident Sabrina Young
described living in the
four person room they
were assigned as “rough”
but that, “it is doable.”
Those students living
in room 313 returned
Tuesday night, ending the
commute some had to
make from hotels or home
to their classes. Having
seen the condition of the
suite throughout multiple
states of construction,
Hanson was excited to
see what progress had
been made in the past few
days. After moving back
in, she said that the room
“looks amazing,” and that
“everything looks brand
new, even the bathroom
was spotless.”
For some students,
this event is a just blip
on the radar of stories to
tell in years to come, but
for several of the seniors
affected, they will have
spent several of their last
weeks in the rooms of
strangers, asked to make
an appointment in order
to step foot in their own
bedroom.

Indrisano, a resident who
took various classes and
even used the Mildred
Sawyer Library, in an
interview with a Journal
reporter in November.
The
Dedham,
MA
company JDMD Owner
LLC,
an
affiliate
of
Center Court Properties,
purchased
Suffolk’s
former properties for
$43.5 million in July of
2015. The sale of the
buildings
came
after
the university’s severalyear long battle with
the Beacon Hill Civic
Association who claimed
that residents did not
want college students in
the area- including the
two historic buildings on
Temple Street any longer.
Since the sale, the
purchaser, JDMD, has
faced
a
number
of
issues on their proposed
project
of
renovating
the buildings to create
75
condos
and
60
parking spaces in an
underground
garage.
Temple Street residents
have voiced their concern
and
opposition
over
both the height of the
building being raised for
a penthouse as well as the
possible traffic increase
a
predominantly
pedestrian street.
The existing Donahue
and Archer buildings are
already 16.75 feet higher
than height limit in
Beacon Hill. The project
design’s penthouses have
made many residents
worry about the cast
shadows that are not
currently there.
JDMD,
who
could
not be contacted for
an interview, has been
approved to reconvert
both buildings by the
Beacon Hill Architectural
Commission as of late
February after months
of revising outstanding
issues to the proposal
plans,
but
several
residents of Temple Street
said there have been no
signs of construction, or
even activity.
“The building – the
birthplace
of
Suffolk
University – has been
recognized
by
the
National Park Service
and the Massachusetts
Commission
as
a
significant and important
contributor to the National
Landmark
District,”
said member of the
Boston
Redevelopment
Authority’s
original
Institutional
Advisory
Group (IAG) Rob Whitney
to the Beacon Hill Times
in November on his
frustration with JDMD’s
proposition
to
add

Temple Street into 75 condominiums and a 60-space underground parking garage.

would not align with the
Hill’s historic “charm.”
Since late September,
an alarm has sounded
throughout the Donahue
building. Many residents
claimed in interviews
with The Suffolk Journal
that they called the
number listed on sheets
of paper in the windows
of the Donahue building
to reporting the alarms,
but said that no one came
to shut them off.
“It’s
been
really
irritating to have the
alarm constantly going
off,” said Craig Bagley,
who has lived on Temple
Street for just over a year.
“It’s been going off for
months.”
In
the
1970s,
it
was Suffolk that had
aided the Beacon Hill
Civic Association and
the
Northeast
Slope
Neighborhood Association
transform the street from
a neglected concrete slab
into the brick walkway
and minimal automotive
traffic that it has today by
donating funds.
One resident, who
wished
to
remain
anonymous
said
that
“most” of the residents
on Temple Street did not
want the university to
leave.
“I never did mind the
university being there. It
was their right,” said the
woman in an interview
with a Journal reporter
in late February. “They
were part of the historic
neighborhood too. It was
a shame when they left.
We all thought so.”
The woman said that
she had lived on Temple
Street for a number of
years but then moved
onto Hancock Street. She
said that the university
would
have
“never”
created the traffic that
the proposed 60-space
parking garage will and
the traffic that the condos
will create.
“We have lost that
battle,” she said. “It’s not
even the construction
that we are concerned
with, it’s what comes next
with the influx of traffic.”

VSU members work to donate medical supplies to Venezuela.
Amy Koczera
Journal Staff
Hard-working Suffolk
students are known for
their strong will and
determination to provide
service to those in need
whenever
injustice
occurs. Since December
2016, the Venezuelan
Student Union (VSU) has
been working to provide
humanitarian
aid
to
Venezuela -- a country
experiencing
serious
crisis -- through collecting
medical supplies to ship
to Venezuela from now
until May 15.
V e n e z u e l a ’ s
Authoritarian President
Nicolás Maduro declared
a military dictatorship in
October 2016.
Currently,
innocent
Venezuelan
citizens
face aggressive police
brutality everyday. There
are regular protests in
the country that are often
violently shut down by
the military.
As this oppression
worsens,
more
and
more civilians endure
abuse, fatal illness, and
homelessness. The people
of Venezuela have little
money and limited food.
Overall, the country is
currently in a dark and
hostile place.
VSU
President
Pasquale Palmisano, an
international student from
Venezuela, has attended
Suffolk since Spring 2015.
As a citizen of Venezuela,
Palmisano
expressed
how catastrophic and
unfortunate the situation
is.
“Venezuela is one of
the largest oil resources
in the world,” he said.
Seeing as the country is
now in such a disastrous
state, that resource is
essentially useless.
“We have the ability
to
help
Venezuela,”
said
Palmisano.
“The
purpose of doing this is
to implement a system
where we can help
Venezuela from abroad.”
VSU is determined
to provide aid to those
that are helpless and
suffering. They are asking
people to donate basic
medical supplies without
prescriptions.
“We
started
this
campaign
to
have
medical supplies sent
to
Venezuela,”
said
Palmisano. Supplies that
can be donated include
Tylenol,
Ibuprofen,
Aspirin,
Multivitamins
and Omega supplements
along with other nonprescription
medicinal
supplies.
On
May
15,
all
supplies will be sent to
the Ayuda Humanitaria
para Venezuela to be
distributed to more than
85
locations
seeking
refuge in Venezuela.
Since VSU is still a
relatively new group here
at Suffolk, their primary
goal for this year is to
provide aid for Venezuela.
In years to come, the
club hopes to enhance
the work they do now
by holding more events,
collaborating with other
groups, and increasing
the size of their club.
“I think what the
VSU is doing is a
commendable
effort,”
said SGA President-Elect
Daniel Gazzani. As a
native Venezuelan citizen,
Gazzani feels a deep
connection to Venezuela.
“My entire family still
lives there,” said Gazzani.
“Having my family there
is something that is
concerning, I check in
with them everyday.”
People in Venezuela
struggle
everyday.
“Knowing
that
VSU
is doing their best to
help those struggling is
amazing,” said Gazzani.
“I applaud them for their
efforts.”
Besides sending aid
to those suffering in
Venezuela, VSU discusses
and promotes Venezuelan
culture through holding
cultural events.
“We
want
people
to enjoy, learn, and be
aware of what’s going
on in Venezuela,” said
Palmisano.
VSU is holding an
event this Thursday, April
13 in Somerset B18 from
6:00 to 8:00 p.m., where
Harvard professor Ricardo
Hausmann will be giving
a talk on Venezuelan
Economics.
The club started with
about 35 members this
year but hope to increase
the size of their group
dramatically within the
next year.
“We’d like to have
as many members as
possible so that we can
help Venezuela as much as
possible,” said Palmisano.
Not only does VSU
wish
to
help
those
suffering in Venezuela,
but they also want to
make their club a place
where they can explain
all aspects of Venezuelan
culture. VSU members
embrace the beauty of the
country’s culture while
analyzing the politics and
government structure in
Venezuela.
Donation boxes are
located on the ninth
floor of 73 Tremont in
the International Student
Services Office and on the
third floor of Sawyer in
the Student Leadership
and Involvement Office.

be
donated,

This week, America
witnessed a new President
Trump;
a
president
of swift action in the
face of an international
atrocity.
In
one
of
Trump’s most supported
decisions thus far, the
United States lobbed 59
tomahawk missiles at
Syria’s Al Shayrat Airfield
in response to Syrian
President
Bashar
alAssad’s chemical attack
on his own people last
week. Although it was a
powerful display by the
world’s most well-funded
military, that is all it was:
a display, courtesy of
Trump.
As the current situation
stands, last week’s missile
attack by Trump can be
seen as nothing more
than a publicity stunt.
Until he elaborates on
his military involvement
in Syria, his actions
can’t be considered to
be anything more than
a reactionary, shallow
attempt at a quick win. In
a way, Trump’s move can
be compared to a boxer
who attempts to remedy a
losing streak with an easy
opponent. Only in this
case, the opponent that
he set his sights on isn’t
going away after a brief
demonstration of power.
Trump’s
first
major
military
action
as
president
was
a
superficial,
self-serving
maneuver. It targeted
an enemy that the world
was rightfully outraged
at. Dozens were killed by
Assad’s sarin gas. It was
a no-brainer for a newly
elected Trump whose
approval ratings have
been less than stellar. It
was his time to shine, but
he chose to do so with an
action that looked and felt
impressive without any
real geopolitical effect.
The results of the missile
strike benefitted Trump,
and Trump alone. He got
a chance to act like a real
president on national
news, while Syria will no
doubt remain a war-zone.
Nevertheless,
the
reality-show president’s
plan produced positive
results. According to a
recent ABC/Washington
Post poll, the majority
of Americans supported
Trump’s missile strike.
This is not a surprising
reaction to the attack.
Assad broke war-etiquette
by employing chemical
weapons on his own
people. A response was
warranted, and even a
broken clock is right
twice a day.
As
video
emerged
of the missiles headed
for the Syrian airfield,
sweet revenge was in the
air and Americans that
watched the broadcast
got the intoxicating hit
of patriotic dopamine
that the country was
desperately jonesing for.
The problem is, Assad’s
chemical
attack,
that
59 tomahawk missiles
attempted to address,
was
arguably
caused
indirectly by the Trump
administration. The U.S.
played a major role in
demanding that Assad
give up his chemical
weapons in 2013. Just
days before last week’s
chemical attack, the U.S.
hinted that they were
going to leave Syria’s fate
up to its civilians and let
Assad stay in power; less
than four years after he
killed more than 1,000
with similar chemical
attacks.
The
“longer-term

SUMUN strives for success in New York
Haley Clegg
Photo Editor
Since February, Suffolk
University’s Model United
Nations (SUMUN) club
has been honing their
skills in preparation of
their competition against
some of their brightest
peers. This week the team
is attending their third
conference of the year,
competing at the National
Model United Nations
Conference in New York
City.
Preparations
began
in February after the
team returned from a
conference at Harvard
University. For many,
the Harvard convention
was a completely new
experience. Yazeed AbuGhazaleh, the soon-to-beinaugurated
presidentelect, was proud of their
performance,
despite
having not competed in
this type of conference in
a number of years.
“I think our team did
very well in adapting
to the new procedures,
considering the Harvard
rules were different from
what we had done in the
past,” said Abu-Ghazaleh.

Senior
government
major Ruslan Gorsky also
attended the Harvard
convention, where Suffolk
University
represented
the Republic of Cuba.
“The
whole
environment was high
paced, and leaves no
room for error, instead
prompting
delegations
to think swiftly on their
feet and make leadership
decisions
whilst
maintaining
diplomatic
ties with all relevant
parties,” he said in a
statement to the Suffolk
Journal. “It was a learning
experience that was at
times fascinating and
exhilarating and at other
times frustrating and
downright exhausting.”
Prior to the New
York
conference,
the
SUMUN team worked on
strengthening
specific
skills that would enable
them to be successful at
these conferences. Such
skills included public
speaking, parliamentary
procedure, and resolution
writing.
“Our goal is and always
has been to be the most
well-rounded candidates
that we can be, by
honoring our delegated
countries
political
position, and whilst still
being persuasive with our
public presence and our
interpersonal skills,” said
Gorsky.
The skills students
acquire
by
being
a
part of SUMUN are
not specific to any one
particular major, and
can be applied to a vast
expanse of professions. “I
think that as a business
student, joining SUMUN
has made me not only
more confident, and more
capable, but frankly a
more competent business
student and hopefully this
will carry-on to make me
a better businessman,”
said
Abu-Ghazaleh
in
an interview with The
Suffolk Journal.
Abu-Ghazaleh has high
hopes for the future of
SUMUN. “Our long-term
goals are focused on
growth, and growth in
every sense of the word.
Growth in the number
of members, growth in
the quality of members,
and the intrinsic growth
within
each
member.
Essentially we hope to
expand
our
network
among other MUN clubs
around
Boston,
and
potentially the rest of
the Northeast,” said AbuGhazaleh in an interview
with The Suffolk Journal.
With students so hardworking and ambitious,
there is no limit to what
SUMUN will be able to
accomplish in the future.
“I learned that there
really is no cap to what
we can achieve,” said
Abu-Ghazaleh,
“Every
limitation we set for
ourselves is nothing more
than a glass ceiling and
every glass ceiling can be
broken.”
Throughout
these
past several decades, the
Yemenite Babies Affair
has been a much-debated
controversy.
During
this
crisis,
Yemenite
children were kidnapped
from their homes from
the late 1940’s up until
the mid-1950’s. Suffolk
University Professor of
Communication
and
Journalism
Shoshana
Madmoni-Gerber
held
a seminar in the Poetry
Center this past week
analyzing the presence
and impact of Israeli
media during this crisis.
Madmoni-Gerber was
born and raised in Israel
to parents of Yemenite
descent. She has worked
as a journalist for several
Israeli
publications
and also as a broadcast
journalist, concentrating
on
investigative
journalism in Israel.
In her book, “Israeli
Media and the Framing
of Internal Conflict,” she
examines
bias
within
Israel and the media at
large through the lens
of the news coverage
of the Yemenite Babies
Affair. The seminar took
audience members inside
her book as she told the
story of the affair and
the role she played in
uncovering the mystery
behind these events.
Madmoni-Gerber was
inspired to investigate the
Yemenite Babies Affair
while working at a small
Israeli newspaper called
“The Hammer.”
During
the
mass
immigration
of
Jews
during the 1940’s and
50’s,
thousands
of
babies disappeared from
immigrant absorption and
transit camps throughout
Israel.
She
recalled
one
memory
from
her
childhood when she saw
an ambulance driver take
her aunt’s daughter. In
several other cases, she
said babies were ripped
out of their mother’s
hands and never returned.
Madmoni-Gerber
showed video clips from
the investigative show
Uvda on Channel Two
where she worked as
a broadcast journalist.
These clips were from
actual Yemenite parents
whose
babies
were
kidnapped; they vividly
showed the horror and
suffering these parents
endured
when
their
children were stolen.
No investigation into
the kidnappings came
until the mid 1960’s.
Madmoni-Gerber said all
Israelis are drafted when
they turn 16. However,
when these kidnapped
children never showed up
for the draft, they came to
the doors of the parents
from which the children
were stolen. From there,
three
commissions
ensued.
While the first two
commissions
revealed
little information about
the affair, the third Kedmi
Commission, lasting from
1995 to 2001, revealed
the most shocking data
because it had the power
to subpoena. The Kedmi
Commission
heard
roughly 1,053 court cases
and revealed that roughly
972 children had died.
The children who were
kidnapped were most
likely sold to affluent
families looking to raise a
child of their own.
Madmoni-Gerber
considered
that
because such shocking
results came from the
investigation, most would
expect the media to
conduct a further, even
deeper investigation of
the events. Unfortunately,
the media’s actions were
quite the contrary.
Because the Yemenite
Babies Affair was not
thoroughly covered by
Israeli
media,
many
students
were
truly
surprised
when
they
listened to MadmoniGerber’s presentation.
Being apart of the
media herself, MadmoniGerber
explained
all
the
censorship
and
obstruction
that
was
such a routine part of
the Israeli media. She
said voluntary censorship
was a huge part of Israeli
media.
“My
main
finding
was that the press was
complicit,”
she
said.
“They were reacting to
what the government
was doing, not creating
their own investigation.”
Israeli
media
went
along with what the
government said rather
than conducting their
own deeper investigation.
“When
you’re
investigating, you need

bump

to hit non-stop with that
issue,” said MadmoniGerber. She explained
that after a few months of
writing about the affair,
Israeli media eventually
said they saw no need
for further investigation.
But she felt there was so
much more to uncover.
According
to
Madmoni-Gerber,
the
government
equated
racism to rationalize why
the kidnappings were
not
legitimate.
They
emphasized the babies
were
not
necessarily
kidnapped
because
affluent families wouldn’t
want a baby of Yemenite
descent.
Madmoni-Gerber
concluded
the
main
theory, although there
is a significant lack of
information, is that the
government was a part
of
these
kidnappings
and that’s why they tried
to deflect the media
from a more thorough
investigation
because
they did not want to be
caught.
the attack. He smelled
blood in the water and,
similarly to his campaign
strategy, chose to attack.
This type of impulsivity,
which is a trademark
characteristic of Trump,
has faced intense scrutiny
in the past, but now
elicits praise.
This is not a surprise
to anyone who has an
adequate understanding
of American history. This
time, Trump’s erratic
behavior
resulted
in
military action, not a 4
a.m. twitter tirade, and
war is the ultimate unifier.
According to a Gallup
poll, President George
W. Bush’s approval rating
skyrocketted after he
announced the war on
terror following 9/11.
The same can be said
of John F. Kennedy’s
approval rating after the
Cuban missile crisis.
This could be the
beginning of bold military
moves by the newly
elected Trump. Now he
knows what his audience
wants. He claimed that
the photographs of Syrian
children suffocating on
sarin gas led him to strike,
taking advantage of an
emotionally raw America.
How
realistic
is
it to believe that a
heartbroken
Trump
decided that enough was
enough and it was time
to intervene for the sake
of Syria’s innocent? The
same suffering women
and children that swayed
Trump to spend an
estimated $93 million on
a missile strike are the
same women and children
that he’s been tirelessly
trying to keep out of the
United States. Trump’s
decision to intervene in
Syria directly contradicts
the isolationist, Americafirst sentiment that he
has maintained thus far.
This is why it’s imperative
to note the immediate
cause-and-effect of the
missile attack.
For Assad and the
Syrian Government, the
destruction of one of
their airfields is a shallow
warning, but that is all
that it seemed to be. The
Al Shayrat Airfield can,
and most likely will, be
rebuilt. The true test of
Trump’s commitment to
Syria will be on display in
the upcoming months.

Originally

continued to do so for the

almost entirely delivered
in third-person narrative.
Each character would
quickly announce the
upcoming action that
was about to occur on
stage, similar to that of
an action scene from a
Robert Downey Junior
“Sherlock Holmes” film.
From this ongoing
narration
stemmed
humor and witty asides
from
all
characters,
effectively breaking the
fourth
wall.
Working
with the small stage setup within the Modern
Theatre, the entire cast
of “Orlando” created a
sense of time and space
by simply walking around
the stage to create the
illusion of a larger living
space.
To portray the ebb and
flow of time, characters
would meander through
the posts of a large metal
frame used to represent
the framework of a
house and would cast out
billowing bed sheets to
create a dream-like wave
effect.
In a musical setting,
the chorus of a production
would narrate the ongoing
action. In “Orlando,” the
chorus used spoken word

outlook stemmed from

over-arching theme of a
personal acceptance of
the different sexes.
Rogers
portrayed
this kind of internalized

the perfect fit for such a
complex role. To take on
such a strong part and so

wild abandon was nothing
short of excellent.

Mobile Application:
Why Suffolk needs to innovate its tech
In a modern society, we are
attached to our cell phones. Some
Opinion Editor of us are more productive on our
smartphones than others, but one
cannot deny that an abundance
of our time is spent on our devices. Between games and
entertainment, to productivity and news, there is a mobile
application for almost everything.
Patrick Holmes
“Not every application is the same, but the
same idea is behind the invention of these
apps: to increase the productivity of the
universities’ students.”
So Suffolk, where is yours?
Technology is an integral part of our lives, especially
the younger generations. College students seem to use
applications and the internet for a multitude of different
areas, so universities should jump at the chance to increase
the productivity of their students.
Suffolk holds numerous platforms for its students to be
active online such as Blackboard, which is used to stay upto-date with classwork. One can get lost between Blackboard,
WorkDay, MySuffolk, SUConnect and many more sites that
Suffolk offers its students to become more organized and are
easily accessible. And just like every university, Suffolk has a
website that can direct any student, or prospective student, to
what they are searching for and where they need to be.
But wouldn’t it be convenient if everything was in one
place and at our fingertips?
Northeastern University is launching a mobile application
in the fall for its incoming class of 2021, as noted at a recent
accepted students day event. It seems that they are aware of
how much use smartphones receive from students and are
implementing ways to enhance the overall productivity of
them.
In most cases, students have to search for various aspects
of college information and are directed to a multitude of
different sites. But what if it was all in one place?
That seems to be the thought process of the creators of
the mobile application for Northeastern. This university and
others want to make life for their students easier and to have
them be more involved and aware.
Other universities within the greater Boston area have
created mobile apps for their students such as Boston College,
Emerson College, Simmons College and UMASS Boston. Not
every application is the same, but the same idea is behind the
invention of these apps: to increase the productivity of the
universities’ students.
Suffolk should think about creating a similar database
application for its students because as of right now, it is easy
to confuse the many sites that are among different platforms.
If all this information was in once place, it could benefit not
only the students but the university as a whole, with less
confusion from the people searching for information.
There could even be two versions of the mobile app: one
for students and one for faculty and staff. Students are not
the only ones who have various sites to travel to and work
to do.
Instead of becoming lost among the web, students and
faculty could easily navigate an app connected to their phone,
or even their computer, that obtained all the information
they would need from the university.
The app would include a conglomerate of information;
from loans, to registering for classes, to even finding a club a
student is interested in. The app for faculty could incorporate
the system used for entering grades and many other structural

environment for professors and students
to be more effective and rewarding.”
sites that faculty use on a daily basis.
Faculty and staff would benefit from a mobile application
because they are just as busy as students at a university. The
app could influence the way professors reach their students
and make it easier for professors to send out notifications
and updates. Overall, the app could create an easier
environment for professors and students to be more effective
and rewarding.
If Suffolk wants to stay modernized and up to date, the
idea for a mobile application incorporating diverse systems
that students and faculty routinely use is a grand invention
that could influence change at Suffolk. Let’s enhance our
innovation and move forward.

Editor’s Word
Maintenance struggles to keep up
Kyle Crozier
Journal Staff
The Suffolk Journal’s
primary goal is to be a reliable
disseminator of information
here on Beacon Hill. We
consider it to be of the utmost
importance to keep the Suffolk
community informed on what
is happening at the university.
Problems don’t get solved if they
are never brought to light. This
is why an open dialogue with
students and faculty on campus
is key to our reporting.
A news organization is
only as good as the contacts
and sources that it works with.
Therefore, we would like to take
this opportunity to stress the
gratitude that we feel towards
everyone that cooperates with
us in our weekly publishing.
We’d like to thank the students,
professors and faculty that have
gone out of their way to give us
information that only they have.
Every member of the Suffolk
community is invaluable.
Everyone here has the ability
to promote transparency
and accountability through
the unique knowledge and
experiences that are gathered
everyday on and off campus.
We strive to be as approachable
as possible and will continue
to make it easier to confide in
us, but without a supportive
community what we do wouldn’t
be possible. Suffolk University
has proven to be resilient in the
face of difficulty, and passionate
in times of despair. As the
university moves forward, we
must continue to coexist in
order for prosperity to continue.

Many students living
on campus come to a
university with the idea
of creating roots and
developing a home away
from home. While dorm

of having the machines
eat so much of my money
that I have no hope of
completing a full drying
cycle.
An alternative could
be to load money onto my
RAM Card for electronic
payment, but any money
on the card I don’t use
will disappear at the end
of the year.
Although I have not
yet had issues eventually
finding
a
working
machine, nearly every
time I bring my clothing
down, I find myself
having to try loading my
clothing into multiple
machines before finding
one that works.
Suffolk could easily
improve the quality of
the laundry experience
by estimating the cost
of one student to clean
their clothing over the
semester, and tack that
amount onto the housing
bills. This would greatly
benefit
the
student,
assuming I am not the
only one that has trouble
collecting and using my
quarters in those hungry
machines.
Attempts
to
prevent
damaged
machines could be as
minor as improvements
in education on what size
loads work best in the
machines, which settings
work well for types of
clothing, etc. If students
did not have to pay on the
spot for their washes, they
would be less inclined to
overload machines, one
of the most common ways
to start a flood.
Depending
on
the
urgency of the problems,
I will have to wait several
days, possibly weeks, to
hear back from anyone
able to help. Perhaps
they are preparing me for
when I will be responsible
for the full maintenance
of my own home, but
my preference would be
to focus on the lessons
given by my professors.
From issues with the
heating
and
cooling
systems, to problems with
broken furniture, holes in
the wall, laundry room
flooding and now with
water leaking through
one of my hallway outlets,
I wonder if my parents
would
regret
coming
up with the $12,000 for
housing
under
these
circumstances.

Rebuilding our Military with Trump
Letter to the Editor
As a Navy veteran and
a strong supporter of
our military, I commend
President
Trump
for
initiating
a
program
to rebuild our military
with a defense budget
increase of $54 billion.
However, it should be
decreased by $1.3 billion
and that amount added to
the Coast Guard budget
within the Department of
Homeland Security so it is
not cut by $1.3 billion.
Our
military
has
dramatically shrunk and
been neglected in recent
times.
Although
we
have
increased the capabilities
of our military through
technological advances,
we have downsized our
forces and we have not
adequately replaced worn
out equipment.
Due
to
the
cuts
imposed by the 2014
Sequestration Act, our
Army has significantly
decreased from a high
of 570,000 soldiers after
Sept. 11, and it is heading
down to 450,000. The
Marines are going from
184,000 to 175,000 and
the National Guard and
Reserves will lose tens of
thousands.
The Air Force will
have 700 fewer aircraft,
and the Navy remains at
286 ships. My Navy has
11 carrier battle groups
but at any one time a
number of them are not
available due to overhaul
and
maintenance
requirements, in port rest
and relaxation, and ships
in transit. It should have
12 carrier battle groups to
fulfill its global missions
in a dangerous world.
George Will, in an article
on Oct. 1, 2015 stated,
“the sun never sets” on
our Navy.
Potential adversaries
continue to build up
their military forces. Iran
has a large army and
continues with its missile
development
program.
North Korea continues to
test long-range missiles
and
develop
nuclear
armaments.
The two significant
potential
adversaries
are China and Russia.
China has a huge army,
is currently adding to it’s
air force and is building
up its navy, including
aircraft
carriers
and
submarines. China lays
claim to the South China
Sea and has established
island bases in the region,
which the U.S. Navy will
have to contest. Russia
is rebuilding its navy
and maintains a large
army and air force as it
continues to threaten
Europe.
Trump
should
continue to rebuild our
military so we can meet
the military challenges
in the world, preserve
our national security and
keep the peace.
P.S.
President
Trump, please stop your
unpresidential
tweets
and concentrate on the
important matters, which
impact
our
national
security and our economy.

Boston ready for playoffs
S
Bruins return to playoffs, set to face Ottawa Senators in first round
By Twitter user @NHLBruins
Bruins forward Dominic Moore and
defenseman Kevan Miller fist bump
to cap off a celebratory win.
Skylar To
Sports Editor
After
a
two-year
postseason
absence,
the Boston Bruins are
officially back in the
Stanley Cup Playoffs this
year.
The Bruins will open
the postseason with the
first two of a potential
seven-game series on the
road to face the Ottawa
Senators at the Canadian
Tire Centre on Wednesday
with the puck set to drop
at 7:00 p.m.
The Bruins had a
taste of playoffs in their
last two home games
of the season against
the
Ottawa
Senators
last Thursday and the
Washington Capitals last
Saturday. In both games,
the Bruins lost to two
possible matchups they
were predicted to face
in the playoffs last week.
During the season, both
the Senators and Capitals
each defeated the Bruins
for a several game series
sweep. With help from
the
Columbus
Blue
Jackets in their 3-2 win
over the Toronto Maple
Leafs on Sunday night
to finalize the National
Hockey League (NHL)
playoff
schedule,
the
Bruins now face the lesser
of the two “evil” teams
as the Capitals finished
another season as the
league’s best team with a
55-19-8 record.
For the past two
seasons, it took the
Bruins 82 games and
a leap of playoff hope
from the hockey gods to
qualify for the playoffs.
The Bruins missed the
playoffs by two points in
2015 and by one point
in 2014, which ended a
seven-year
consecutive
playoff appearance since
the 2007-08 season under
former
10-year
Head
Coach Claude Julien.
It looked to be another
short year
when the
Bruins
dropped
five
consecutive
games
toward the end of March
with very few games
remaining.
But, the Bruins did it-and it only took them 80
games this year to clinch
a playoff berth after last
Tuesday’s 4-0 shut-out
win over the Tampa Bay
Lightning at TD Garden.
On the game win
and the Bruins return to
the playoffs, goaltender
Tuukka
Rask,
who
collected his 28th shutout of the season with last
Tuesday’s game win, said
in a post-game interview
to reporters that: “I think
the city deserves it. The
organization
deserves
it and we feel like we
deserve it, too.”
Forward
Patrice
Bergeron
thinks
the
Bruins have taken the
playoffs for granted in
years past.
“[The
playoffs]
seems like it’s definitely
something
that
you
have to appreciate,” said
Bergeron in a post-game
interview to reporters.
“It’s been two years. It’s
been a long time coming
for us. There are a lot of
guys in this room that
haven’t had a taste of it
yet.”
To win the series best
to advance to the next
round, the Bruins need
to score that extra goal
to lead early and build off
of that momentum. On
average, the Bruins score
2.83 goals per game and
they have a 34-0-2 record
after leading two periods
heading into the third.
The
Bruins
have
forward Brad Marchand’s
offense to look forward
to after he faced a twogame
suspension
for
spearing
Lightning
defenseman Jake Dotchin
last
Tuesday
night.
However, the Bruins can
anticipate a fight from
Senators goaltender Craig
Anderson as he has a 2.35
goals-against average in
the playoffs, again, the
Bruins need to produce.
Marchand,
who
finished a career high
of 39 goals this season,
acknowledges that the
Senators are a “very
tough” and “great” team
and looks past the team’s
0-3-1 series record against
Ottawa to start fresh in
the playoffs.
On the series faceoff, Marchand said to
reporters that: “We’re
all in the same exact
position. We’re all zerozero, no wins, no losses,
and we’re fighting for our
lives.”

Joe Rice
Journal Contributor
As of April 11, the
Boston
Celtics
own
the best record in the
Eastern Conference of
the National Basketball
Association (NBA). As of
Tuesday night, the Celtics
have a game in lead for
the East, however they are
only barely in front of the
recent NBA Champions,
the Cleveland Cavaliers.
To take the Eastern
Conference title in the
regular season, all the
Celtics have to do is win
their last game against
the Milwaukee Bucks. If
the Celtics lose and the
Cavs win their final game,
the Celtics fall to second
in the East.
When asked about the
current situation, Head
Coach Brad Stevens told
Celtics media that, “The
focus for us has to be the
things we can control.”
Last year, the Celtics
rode into the playoffs
as a fifth seed, drawing
the Atlanta Hawks, who
promptly beat them in
a hard-fought six game
series. This year, the
Celtics look to build upon
this and win a round, or
potentially two, in the
playoffs.
The Celtics are in a
good position to do this,
as they will play a bottom
seeded team. If they finish
second in the East, the
most likely scenario for
the green, they will draw
the seventh seed. In this
case, it will most likely
be the Indiana Pacers
led by small forward and
star player Paul George.
If the Celtics manage to
leap the Cavs, they will
host the eighth seed and
final playoff position.
The eighth seed is up for
grabs, as the Miami Heat
and Chicago Bulls seem to
be battling for that spot
up until the final game.
Either scenario for the
Celtics would be favorable
to win a round. They will
host the first two games
at the TD Garden as well
as games five and seven, if
necessary. This bodes well
for the Celtics, as they
have a 28-11 record at
home. In addition to this,
the Celtics overall talent
with
rising
superstar
point
guard
Isaiah
Thomas, as well as pieces
around him like power
forward Al Horford, small
forward Jae Crowder, and
shooting guard Avery
Bradley vastly outweighs
the talent of the Heat,
Indiana Pacers, and the
Bulls.
Some
people
may
argue that the Celtics
should shoot for the stars
this post-season, however
the goal for them should
be to win a round or two.
Stevens may agree with
this statement as well.
The coach was quoted
from the Boston Herald
saying that the Celtics
are, “Not as good as our
record,” also noting that
the Celtics are, “A long
way to be what I think is
competitive at a necessary
level to be really good
when it's all on the line.”
The
Celtics
recently
showed that statement
is indeed true when they
had a chance to beat
Cleveland to take the top
spot in the East and failed
miserably, losing by 23 at
home.
With that being said,
this post-season will not be
a total failure regardless
By Twitter user @celtics
of the outcome. Young
players such as rookie and
emerging talent Jaylen
Brown will learn about
what it takes to win highstake games. In addition
to this, Thomas will learn
more about how to win
in the playoffs, which
is something he has yet
to do. As much of a star
as Thomas is, playoff
experience is something
he lacks. A playoff run
where the Celtics could
steal a couple rounds
may provide him with the
experience every player
needs to win.
One thing working
for the Celtics is that the
pressure is off of them and
on Cleveland more than
ever. Coming off a big
win on the road against
the Celtics, the Cavs yet
again proved that they are
still atop the mountain in
the Eastern Conference.
Now that everyone knows
this again, people are
expecting the Cavs will
take the East. The Celtics
have no pressure from
national media to make an
impact in this postseason,
so if they go out and play
loose, it could result in a
postseason surprise.
The NBA playoffs will
begin on April 15 for
the best basketball team
Boston has seen in terms
of overall record since
Shaquille O’Neal wore
green.

“
“You try to find as
many [individuals] as you
can that will be successful
here in terms of a student
and an athlete,” said the
fifth-year head coach.
“When I got [to Suffolk]
the roster was really
small so it was about
recruiting as many [girls]
as we could, but we are at
a point where we have so
much talent that we can
be more picky in terms of,
I don’t really need X, but I
need more of Y.”
For Davis and Head
Baseball Coach Anthony
Del Prete, a large portion
of their recruiting process
occurs throughout the
summer. The coaches
attend tournaments and
showcases in order to
spot the talent they are
interested in adding to
their roster.
Depite
most
of
the
recruiting
being
conducted
over
the
summer, Davis said she
attends recruiting events
year round.
Del Prete said that he
starts contacting players
following their junior year
of high school. He travels
throughout New England,
upstate New York and
New Jersey in order to
find team players.
The recruiting process
for the baseball team
usually begins with a
group of 400 to 450
prospective recruits and
eventually those numbers
dwindle down to about 150
interested recruits. The
pool of players becomes
smaller depending on
academic
interests,
location of the university
and
commitments to
other schools, explained
Associate
Director
of
Athletics Del Prete in a
recent interview with The
Journal.
Aside
from
going

and
watching
talent
on
the field, the softball
and baseball coaching
staff reach out to their
recruits and have them
explore
Suffolk’s
city
campus in order to help
them
envision
their
future academic careers.
Both coaches said they
encourage their recruits
to do an overnight stay
with current members
of the team in order to
observe a day in the life of
a Suffolk student-athlete.
Senior Ronchi was
recruited by Del Prete
during the summer before
his senior of high school
in Worcester, Mass.
The marketing major
received an email from
Del Prete that expressed
his interest in Ronchi,
but before that, the
senior had never heard of
Suffolk before.
Del
Prete
kept
in contact with him
throughout his decision
process, which allowed
Ronchi to feel like the
university was the right
place for him.
“Coach Del Prete does
not want anything but
the best for Suffolk and
he wears it everyday with
him,” said Ronchi. “He
does a good job at finding
recruits that have the
same intensity and work
ethic as the rest of the
team.”
A majority of athletes
are recruited to Suffolk
varsity teams. Davis said
that from her 19-member
roster, 17 of her girls
were recruited, the other
two walked onto the
team. Whereas Del Prete
explained
that
every
member on his roster had
been recruited or in prior
communication with the
coaching
staff
before
attending Suffolk.
Although each coach
has to follow specific
NCAA
Division-III
recruiting rules, they all
have their respective ways
of seeking talent and the
appropriate academic fit
for their team.
“Every coach has their
own way of doing things,”
said Davis. “Everybody
recruits and everybody’s
needs are different.”
First-year women’s golf
Head Coach Jay Parker
used online services such
as BeRecruited and Front
Rush in order to recruit
his girls and currently has
675 girls in his database.
With only two girls
returning to his team in the
fall, Parker currently has
four recruits committed
from New Jersey, New
Hampshire, Chicago, IL
and Massachusetts. He
also has two potential
recruits from Miami, FL
and California.
The
women’s
golf
program was established
in July 2016 and the
team's first season was in
the fall. The first season
was intended to carry
over into the spring, but
the season was canceled
due to weather. Parker, a
previous Suffolk baseball
assistant coach, saw the
season cancellation as a
blessing in disguise for
his team because it gave
him the opportunity to go
out and recruit more girls
for his team.
“As I look at it in a
maturity level, I’m still
at [the] baby level as
far as coaching goes,”
said Parker in a recent
interview
with
The
Journal. “Luckily, the
recruiting process has
been
good
because
women want to part of
history being the first
recruiting class ever.”
Varsity
coaches
at
Suffolk are constantly
striving to obtain talent
for their teams in order
to acquire the strongest
roster for their season.
“You’re always striving
to find someone that is
as good as or better than
what you’ve had before,”
said Davis.

David
Scher
pleaded guilty on Tuesday
afternoon in an attempt
to alter court documents
in order to adjust his
guilty finding for stealing
a laptop from a university
locker to not guilty,
according to the Suffolk
County District Attorney’s
office.
The former student
and Boston real estate
broker was sentenced
to more than two years
in jail, according to the
District Attorney’s office.
Scher had received a
suspended sentence for
the laptop theft in 2014,
according to an article
in the Boston Globe, and
was indicted just last year
of charges of tampering
with a court document,
forgery,
perjury
and
uttering a false document.
According to reports
last year, Scher “knew his
way around a courtroom”
as he had sued the City
of Boston, the City of
Newton,
a
Brighton
condo board over election
improprieties where he
failed to win a seat, the
people who rented his
condominium as well as
the bank that held the
mortgage for it, and even
his own parents after they
backed out of a promise
to sell him the family
boat.
Scher had been once
honored by the National
Association of Realtors as
one of the top 30 Realtors
under 30.
Scher’s
attorney
Richard M. Doyle Jr. did
not respond to Journal
reporters for comment
as of early Wednesday
morning.
Scher was expected
to receive a 20-year
sentence, according to
multiple news reporters
last year.
According to sources,
Scher was in his last year
at Suffolk Law when he
stole the laptop computer.

New perspectives from diverse women fill Suffolk Law School
Haley Clegg
Photo Editor
A diverse group of law
students came together
Tuesday evening for an
end-of-year banquet of
“Hearing
Her
Story,”
hosted
by
Suffolk’s
Women of Color Law
School Association. The
event was Reflection of
Women on the Bench,
“Dynamic
Women
Transforming
Society.”
Tuesday’s event aimed to
give students an inside
look at what it is like to
be a woman of color in
the legal profession.
SJC Justice Kimberly
Budd, who received her
law degree from Harvard
in 1991, and Honorable
Shannon
Frison
who
received her law degree
from Georgetown in 1995
served as the panelists
for the event.
Clare Prober, a firstyear law student who
is interning with Budd
this summer had been
looking forward to the
event. “I’m excited to see
a woman’s perspective on
being a judge, especially
since it is a largely male
dominated profession. I
think a lot of women can
relate and see the value
in this event.”
Both panelists did not
foresee becoming a judge
at some point in their
careers.
“I had been practicing
for 15 years and it never
occurred to me. I took one
look at the application
process and I said, ‘No
way, I am not doing that,’”
said Budd.
Budd was inspired by
fellow college graduate
and former United States
President Barack Obama,
and developed a desire to
have an affect on the laws
of the commonwealth.
Budd said she wanted to
have more of an impact
on how cases are tackled.
“I sort of missed the
money train and that is
the only thing I regret,”
said
Frison
on
her
regrets. “I loved serving
in the Marine Corps, I
would never regret that,
but it is a challenge to
balance both fulfillment
and financial security.”
The panelists took
a moment during the
discussion
to
speak
directly to the women
of color in the room.
Budd said that women
of color must always be
the most prepared person
in the room, to leave no
room for mistakes, and
to persevere through any
and all microaggressions
and implicit bias.
“I
don’t
think
it
matters if you are black
or a woman or whatever.
What they think of you
doesn’t matter, you’ve
got to tune that out.
Merit is the only thing
that matters; you’d be
surprised how far that’ll
get you,” said Frison.
Budd also explained to
the present students that
it is important to keep
track of all the work they
do, and why it is important
to their careers. Frison
advised students that one
of the best skills they can
acquire is learning how
to be versatile in every
situation.
“Be as well rounded
as you can, both in law
and in life. The people
with the most success
are the ones who are the
most well rounded,” said
Frison. “Whatever you do,
be the best you can be.”
During the second half
of the night, the floor was
opened up for questions
from audience members.
Dorothy Franks, a first
year law student asked
the panelists about how
their lives had changed
since becoming judges.
“Socializing becomes
the hardest because you
really can’t branch out as
much as you would have
in other professions. You

and

the garage and work on
the project. This plans
to result in the project
manager fulfilling the
need of a space to work
in, and the garage owner
is paid for their space and
service.
Bennett and Jimenez
first had the idea for
InGarage in November
of 2015, when Bennett
had to travel to Waltham,
Mass. in order to obtain
garage space. Bennett
realized that the help
he was getting could be
available closer.
“The sharing economy
is available to a lot of
different people through
the use of their phones,
the idea that there would
be people that have space,
time and willingness to
help, so we set about
trying to prove that and
develop the concept,”
said Bennett in a recent
interview
with
The
Suffolk Journal.
The
InGarage
designers see the app
as the best platform for
connectivity with the
customer and its fluidity
of
communication.
In
a
video
which
explained the future of
InGarage, Jimenez said
this marketing driven
company he hopes can
one day become more

grows.
InGarage is based in
Watertown and Lawrence,
Mass. two locations which
have been scheduled as
test markets for the app
launch in June. These
test markets, being vastly
different from each other
in residents, will give
the company comparable
information
on
their
customers.
InGarage currently has
65 garages nationwide
due
to
personal
networking, as well as
6 more in their test
markets of Watertown
and Lawrence, Mass. and
Bangor, Maine. These
garages have provided

get to socialize with other
judges and that’s about
it,” said Frison.
Because
of
how
isolating the profession
can be, having strong
connections outside of
work is essential, and
Budd said that it is
important to hang on to
the relationships with
people outside of the
legal profession.
“I want to be known
for taking the rights of
individuals seriously” said
Frison when asked about
her professional legacy.
“I want to be known for
upholding the rule of
law,” said Budd.

Students’ start-up app promotes handy solution

Journal Staff
The new start-up app
“InGarage,” set to launch
in June, was created
by
Suffolk
University
students
Alexander
Bennett
and
Marcus
Jimenez, as well as three
others, aims to enable
project managers and
garage owners. Ranging
from physical projects
such as needing exercise
equipment or tools, to
creative projects, which
can require photo or
film equipment are just
a few examples of the
possibilities this start-up
seeks to enable.
A
garage
owner,
who
has
experience
with tools, will list their
garage space on the app.
The project manager,
typically younger and
less experienced with a
specific job in mind can
then
browse
through
the different spaces and
decide which garage is
most beneficial for their
specific needs. Once the
garage is chosen, the

media accounts. With this
information,
InGarage
has been able to tell what
their customers respond
to, and how the app will
work for customers on an
individual basis.
For
their
social
media launch, InGarage
is currently focused on
spreading the word of
their future app, with
hopes of getting as many
garages as possible, from
personal
one-on-one
interaction to connecting
with hardware stores in
partnerships.
InGarage
is searching for about
40,000 dollars worth of
investment to help them
get the company off the
ground.
InGarage hopes to
create an environment
where people of the older
generation will have the
resources to be able to
make extra money for
themselves, as well as help
out younger generations.
“Millennials
haven’t
had as much opportunity
to work on projects that
involve workbenches and
screwdrivers, and there’s
a lot of reasons for that,”
said
Bennett.
“We’re
not making any sort of
social commentary, but
it is true that millennials
have less of a mechanical
ability and we think that
is unfortunate. We are
operating within what we
believe to be great timing
for our concept.”

College-aged deaths spike in recent years near Charles
From MAN page 1
yet publicly identified
the body as Kelleher’s
as “a matter of policy
that extends to all death
investigations in which
there is no evidence of
foul play.”
“The Office of the
Chief Medical Examiner
has not yet made a
determination as to the
cause or manner of death
but observed no signs of
physical trauma,” said
Wark to a Suffolk Journal
reporter in an email on
Tuesday afternoon.
The
Massachusetts
Department
of
Conservation
and
Recreation (DCR), which
manages
the
locks,
directed
a
Journal
reporter to contact the
State Police Press Office,
who in turn referred the
reporter to the District
Attorney’s office. They did
not comment further.
A Massachusetts State
Police (MSP) press release
from Sunday afternoon
stated that a body was
spotted by a passerby
around 9:10 a.m. on
Sunday in the vicinity
of the Colonel Richard
Gridley Locks, located
at the mouth of the
Charles River. The body
was removed from the
water by divers with the
nearby MSP Marine Unit
Headquarters, according
to the press release.
Massachusetts
State
Police Troop H, the
Suffolk County District
Attorney’s office and the
Boston Police Department
(BPD) are now handling
the investigation jointly,
according to Wark.
Kelleher was last seen
on surveillance footage
leaving TD Garden around
9 p.m. on March 29. A
female coworker who was
with him at the game that
night told multiple news
outlets
that
Kelleher
left during the third
quarter after having “a
few drinks.” Both Lori
Kelleher and police have
said that phone records
show Michael tried three
times unsuccessfully to
call an Uber from Paul
Revere Park, a short
walk from the Garden.
His cell phone’s signal
was last picked up near
138 Tremont St. by the
eastern edge of the
Boston Common around
11:00 p.m.
Divers
previously
searched
the
Charles
near the Garden on
April 3 without success,
according to CBS Boston.
“We get notified about
[disappearances],”
said
Suffolk University Police
Department
(SUPD)
Sergeant Jameson Yee.
Yee, a Suffolk alum who
began his tenure as a
security officer in 2008,
told a Journal reporter
in a recent interview
that the department is
ready and willing to assist
local authorities in any
investigation.
K e l l e h e r ’ s
disappearance comes just
a year after a similar case
made some believe that
there was something far
more sinister occurring in
the city.
Zachary
Marr,
a
22-year-old from Harvard,
Mass., disappeared in the
early morning hours of
Feb. 13, 2016 after he left
the Bell in Hand Tavern
near Faneuil Hall without
a coat. He was caught
on surveillance footage
outside the Boston Public
Market around 1:40 a.m.
While no other footage
was
released,
police
confirmed that they had
obtained footage of Marr
“entering the water” near
the North Station railroad
bridge - about 500 feet
from the locks, according
to multiple news sources.
His body was found on
Mar. 15, 2016, by the
area where Kelleher was
found.
Marr’s death was later
ruled accidental.
Before Kelleher, Marr’s
disappearance was the
most recent in what some
see as a troubling pattern.
Since 2001, 17 men have
gone missing in Boston
and its suburbs. The
victims, ranging in age
from 18 to 65, were all
found deceased in a local
waterway, usually the
Charles River or Boston
Harbor,
according
to
news sources.
Most of the victims
- all but two - were
under 36, and were
young professionals or
local students. Most had
consumed alcohol before
their disappearance, but
in most cases, witnesses
describe the victims as
having been far from
intoxicated. While some
disappearances
break
the trend, almost all of
them occurred between
October and March.
“The concern isn’t that
this could happen to our
students specifically, but
that it could happen to
anyone. A lot of these
disappearances
have
involved alcohol - usually
the person has been out
drinking, partying with
friends. They end up
leaving on their own,”
said Yee.
Yee advised students
to be attentive to their
surroundings,
and
added that distracted

pedestrians are often
easy targets for would-be
opportunist criminals.
There are plenty of
other ways to stay safe
on campus as well, Yee
explained.
Suffolk’s
LiveSafe app, which allows
students to request police
escorts and report tips to
SUPD, is available for free
on both iOS and Android
devices. Even with Yee’s
reassurance,
students
differ in their feelings
about the disappearances.
“We have a strong
relationship with our
campus
agencies,
partners, as well as local
and
state
authorities
which allows us to better
help both our students
and
the
community,”
Yee said. All sworn SUPD
officers, he explained,
are
deputized
as
Suffolk County officials,
giving them the same
enforcement
powers
as the sheriff’s office.
They’ve also received
the same training as
the Massachusetts State
Police, and work closely
with BPD in both regular
patrol of city and ongoing
investigations.
Yee stressed that he
doesn’t see any reason for
“escalated concern,” but
added that all students
should heed the advice
he gives to freshmen
at
orientation
every
summer: stay in groups,
stay alert, and stay in
control.
“I’m
inclined
to
believe it’s coincidental,
but it’s intriguing that
they were all ruled
accidental,” said August
Tucker,
a
sophomore
from Portsmouth, N.H.
majoring in government.
Tucker, who resides
in East Boston near
where
the
body
of
24-year-old David Mark
was discovered in 2011,
understands why some
are concerned and said
that he believes that
college-aged students are
the “most vulnerable” to
attacks in the city.
“It’s sad for their
families, but I don’t see
anything that strange
about it,” said Matt Calise,
a freshman Politics major
from Johnston, R.I., who
has lived on campus this
year. He echoed a reality
that many in Boston are
just starting to face.
“People disappear all the
time.”

Two of Suffolk’s interior architecture
master of arts students were recognized
for their innovative design concepts at
this spring’s International Interior Design
Association New England Chapter’s
Design Awards. Minakshi Rothawan was
awarded Best Graduate Design honors
for “Mode Couture Design School.” “My
thesis addresses the lack of Americanmade, handcrafted, custom-fitted clothing
available to clients in the United States
because the couture industry is based in
Europe,” said Rothawan. Alicia Kosasih
was awarded Best in Show, Student
Design for her design of a multipurpose,
high tech workspace for a digital branding
agency. Her concept was inspired by the
trend toward adaptable office spaces.
Alina Daragan was also recognized as a
runner-up in the design awards.

Last week’s article “Professor takes hard look

that Professor Shoshana Madmoni-Gerber

Madmoni-Gerber about the incident.

when I looked at the
description I thought this
was something that could

Professor
Micky Lee, who was
appointed
Chairwoman
of the Task Force after
Frank
Cooper
took
time off from teaching
at the Law School, has
suggested the President’s
Commission on Diversity

Margaret McKenna, may
be an option to consider.
“We have not talked
about that. I did ask the
subcommittee to think
about after the Task Force
ends, ‘What would happen
if we reenact that?’ It just
seems to make sense, we
already have bylaws, but
we have not talked about

Suffolk
University’s
Model United Nations
(SUMUN) club competed
at the National Model
U.N. Conference in New
York City this past week
where they took home the
Distinguished Delegation
award, the conference’s
second-highest
award
category.
This year the group
represented Kazakhstan
at the conference in
which they performed
mock exercises of the
United
Nations
such
as debating with other
nations, and drafting and
passing resolutions.
To
determine
the
winner of the awards,
committee chairs and
moderators would take
note of the countries
they
felt
were
best
represented.
After
thorough
discussion
by
the
committee
chairs
and
moderators,
the
winning teams would
be chosen, and awards
presented
during
the
closing ceremony. Last
year
Suffolk’s
team
represented Montenegro
when they took home an
Honorable Mention, or
the third place award.
Nineteen
Suffolk
students traveled to the
city to compete against
3,500 other students from
colleges and universities
across the United States.
Yazeed Abu-Ghazaleh,
the
soon-to-beinaugurated
presidentelect of SUMUN enjoyed
working alongside these
students.
“It was very cool to
meet such a diverse
group of students, these
were some of the hardest
students
to
compete
against, that I’ve ever met.
It was quite a challenge to
compete with them,” said
Abu-Ghazaleh.
Suffolk students were
constantly busy running
between mock committee
sessions, debriefings and
team activities.
“New York was a long,
exhausting,
extremely
tedious, but completely
gratifying week,” said
Abu-Ghazaleh.

club’s advisor and former
Assistant Dean of the
Undergraduate Program
and Director of the
Honors Program at the
said
Lerman
in
an
interview with The Suffolk

Their hard work and
dedication paid off at the
end of the week when
the team was named the
distinguished delegation.
“I realized that everything
we work for, all the hard work,
the long nights, all of the extra
studying that goes unseen
because we don’t get a grade,
it wasn’t for nothing. It was
completely worth it.”
- SUMUN President
Omar Hernandez
Sawyer Business School
witnessed
the
hard
work the team put in
throughout the week.
“It always is a grueling
schedule, with little time
for eating and sleeping,
but everyone loved it,
they always do. They
always learn an enormous
amount. It was quite an
expansive opportunity,”
Omar
Hernandez,
SUMUN’s
current
president, felt this award
made all of the hard work
done in preparation for
this conference worth it.
“At
that
moment
when they said ‘Suffolk
University,’ and we got to
stand up and be awarded,
it was an incredibly
special moment for me.
I realized that everything
we work for, all the hard
work, the long nights,
all of the extra studying
that goes unseen because
we don’t get a grade, it
wasn’t for nothing. It was
completely worth it,” said
Hernandez in an interview
with The Suffolk Journal
on Tuesday.
On top of the award,
SUMUN experienced some
exclusive opportunities.
The team met with
Stephane Dujarric, the
spokesperson
for
the
United Nations SecretaryGeneral Antonio Guterres.
Suffolk’s team exclusively
attended a press briefing
and had a private question
and answer session with
Dujarric.
“It was entertaining,
insightful
and
an
experience we’ll never
forget,” said Hernandez.
The conference’s closing
ceremony was held at the
U.N. General Assembly
Hall.
“It’s always refreshing,
and there’s always strong
energy when you walk
into that room because
that’s where history has
happened and where it
continues
to
happen.
Some of my favorite
political
figures
have
stood at the podium there
and have addressed that
hall,” said Abu-Ghazaleh.
In today’s political
climate,
Lerman
said
she found the whole
experience gave her a
new hope for the future.
“What these students
do gives me hope. They
make
me
optimistic
for a better future,”
said Lerman. “I see
these students behave
respectfully
with
the
countries they conflict
with.
They
build
relationships with them
in order to solve issues.
They create solutions
to global problems in a
conscientious
manner.
That is true diplomacy.”
Despite having only
just returned, the team
is already preparing for
their next conferences,
and look to place on top
next year.

Suffolk Venezuelan
Student Union seeks to
aid troubled home country
Felicity Otterbein
Arts Editor
Chris DeGusto
News Editor
Nearly every seat was
taken in the basement
classroom of the Somerset
building last Thursday to
hear the words spoken by
current Director of the
Center of International
Development, Professor
Ricardo Hausmann.
Giving
an
hourlong lecture about the
current economic crisis
in Venezuela, Hausmann,
also a professor of the
practice
of
economic
development at Harvard
University, explained in
graphic detail how basic
economics
contributed
to the country’s ultimate
downfall.
Organized by Suffolk
University’s Venezuelan
Student Union (VSU), the
evening was intended
to educate those in
attendance about the
current
economic
situation in Venezuela.
The talk also aimed
to raise awareness of
the VSU’s charity efforts
dedicated
to
sending
medical supplies to those
in Venezuela who cannot
otherwise access them.
How
the
country
worked
itself
into
such a state is a long,
twisted
story
filled
with
corruption
and
poor
decision-making.
Traced back to 1999
and the leadership of
President Hugo Chavez,
Venezuelans fell victim
to the populist policies
put in place during his
campaign and leadership.
Chavez was able to
divide the population
into lower and higherclass sections fueling the
hatred and animosity
between the two factions.
Convinced
the
country’s
constitution
was
irrelevant
and
corrupt, Chavez dissolved
the chambers of congress
and created a nationalist
movement that segued
into the economy.
The changes effectively
ruined
any
potential
system of checks and
balances and created a
nationalization
policy
over oil and removed
any foreign countries
that were privy to such
natural resources.
“We got loans from the
Russians at undisclosed
rates and undisclosed
conditions
with
undisclosed
collateral,”
said Hausmann. “So we
have been borrowing
money we don’t have at
rates we won’t be able to
pay because we haven’t
wanted to restructure our
debt we are paying.”
According
to
Hausmann,
the
ideal
solution
for
the
Venezuelan economy is to
not go back to the market
and that the country
should instead try to
find funding within the
international community.
He said it may take
three or four years to
stabilize the economy,
and then Venezuela can
look to borrow money
to pay off loans from the
International
Monetary
Fund (IMF).
Hausmann doesn’t see
Venezuela emerging from
its current economic hole
There’s no way
of recovering
people’s
livelihoods
unless we put
the economy
back to work,
production back
up, employment
back up.”
- Professor Ricardo
Hausman
without
restructuring
its debt, and said he
believes the loan markets
have no faith in current
Venezuelan
President
Nicolás Maduro to solve
the problem.
Due
to
Chavez’s
aggressive
nationalist
tactics,
capable
professionals within the
oil industry had been
ousted or left voluntarily
to ensure their families’
safety.
This
resulted
in
an
almost
immediate
economic
collapse,
which
plunged
some
Venezuelans into poverty.
“I would say my family
is among the privileged
group of people that
can still afford to buy
food. But of course it
has affected me, it has
affected every everyone
that lives down there,”
said Student Government
Association
PresidentElect and current Vice
President Daniel Gazzani
in a recent interview with
The Suffolk Journal.
He explained how it
has affected parts of life
that are often taken for
granted.
“You know, before
you had the option if
you wanted to buy wheat
bread or white bread. But
not anymore, you settle
for what you can find,
not what you want,” said
Gazzani.
According
to
Hausmann,
people
are wasting their time
lining up to buy goods
as opposed to working
to manufacture those
goods as a result of the
tumultuous
economy
that
has
left
many
Venezuelan’s struggling
to survive on a day-to-day
basis.
“We have to stop
wasting people’s time and
put their time [toward
making] things. There’s
no way of recovering
people’s livelihoods unless
we put the economy back
to work, production back
up, employment back up.”
As
part
of
the
relief effort, Suffolk’s
Venezuelan
Student
Union has been collecting
medical supplies around
campus to contribute to
the 180 tons of medical
and food supplies from
85
other
institutions
that have already been
collected.
Pasquale
Palmisano,
a
junior
at
Suffolk
and President of the
Venezuelan
Student
Union, said in a recent
interview
with
The
Journal that part of the
problem stemmed from
people’s lack of awareness
about the turmoil in
Venezuela.
The supplies collected
at
Suffolk
will
be
shipped to Miami on
May 15 through Red
Cross, and subsequently
to
Venezuela,
which
Palimisano
said
he
expects to take about a
week.

Commentary:
W
Spicer’s speeches scream incompetence
C’mon Sean,
just picture them all
in their underwear
Claire Schneider/ Journal Staff
Amy Koczera
Journal Staff
Just
last
week
during Tuesday’s White
House press briefing,
Press
Secretary
Sean
Spicer compared Syrian
President Bashar Al-Assad
to Adolf Hitler. Ultimately,
Spicer’s
blundering
remark
branded
him
an
incompetent,
undeserving excuse for
a press secretary and an
embarrassment to the
American people.
In response to alAssad’s chemical attack
on
innocent
Syrian
civilians, Spicer claimed
even Hitler was not “evil
enough” to use chemical
weapons against his “own
people.” Seeing as Hitler’s
regime
exterminated
millions
of
innocent
Jews in gas chambers,
many
were
confused
and uncomfortable with
Spicer’s statement.
According
to
The
Washington Post, Spicer
stated, “We didn’t use
chemical
weapons
in
World War II. You know,
you had a — someone
as despicable as Hitler
who didn’t even sink to
using chemical weapons.”
Regardless of Spicer’s
feelings toward al-Assad’s
actions, it is rarely a wise
choice to bring Hitler
into a briefing meeting
-- especially as the press
secretary.
When
questioned
about
his
statement,
Spicer
ignorantly
defended
himself
by
clarifying that he was
referring to battlefield
uses of chemical weapons.
However, to say Hitler
did not use chemical
weapons is far too serious
of a statement to be
considered a slip of the
tongue on Spicer’s part.
Bringing Hitler into
any public speech enters
a dangerous area of
discussion.
Chemical
weapons are chemical
weapons, and they cause
mass destruction. In this
case, it seemed Spicer
was trying to identify
the lesser of two evils
in
an
inappropriate
environment and ended
up
making
a
false
statement that spun him
into a position of harsh
criticism.
The Holocaust was
an horrific crisis that
shaped our world into
what it is today. Those
who hold position in the
White House must have a
thorough understanding
of
World
history
-specifically history related
to mass genocide.
When Spicer gets in
front of the camera, he
always seems to make
a fool of himself in one
way or another. Whether
it’s his word choice or
historical
references,
his
speeches
almost
always leave his audience
members
feeling
uncomfortable.
His word choice in
particular is often his
demise. According to The
Washington Post, while
responding to the press
during Tuesday’s briefing,
Spicer said, “I’m not
looking to quantify this
in any way.” Presumably,
Spicer was searching for
the word qualify and said
quantify instead.
Perhaps he was trying
to quantify the amount
times he has made errors
in historical and political
references on camera.
Nonetheless, if he is
going to speak in front
of a crowd, Spicer should
consider
sharpening
up
his
public
mass
communication skills. No
one is asking Spicer to
reach a groundbreaking
acclamation
about
genocide or chemical
weapons.
All he needs to do
is perform his duties as
press secretary by acting
as a spokesperson to the
executive branch of the
U.S. government. Spicer
should not say anything
the
U.S.
government
administration
would
not say themselves. He
is merely a vessel of
communication.
In just a few months
as press secretary, Spicer
has already acquired a
humiliating
reputation
that will stick with him
for the next several years.
He made an unforgivable
mistake
by
dragging
Hitler into a briefing, and
he continuously makes
himself look foolish by
assaulting the English
language on a daily basis.
Asking
Spicer
to
communicate
clearly
and effectively is merely
asking him to do his job
properly. For U.S. citizens
to get the right messages
from the administration,
Spicer needs to be hyperaware of everything he
says and does, and how
it can be interpreted. If
there is any kind of glitch
in the system, it fosters
distraction from his main
point and can deliver the
wrong message.
Unless
Spicer
drastically
improvemes
his
public
speaking
skills,
he
will
only
serve as an obstacle in
communication between
the government and the
people for the next four
years.

Kink about it; working against oppression
Kyle Crozier
Journal Staff
Contributors:
Elvira Mora, Journal Staff
To Ignacio Rivera, a
prominent LGBTQ+ artist
and activist, the dictionary
describes a kink as, “a
colloquial term used to
describe unconventional
sexual
concepts
and
practices.” To Rivera, this
definition focuses on a
kink as something that
is inherently different or
strange. This is a common
feature
of
criticism
people face with kink,
Rivera explained they
believe that instead, “kink
is everywhere, it connects
to a wider sexuality.”
Suffolk
University’s
Rainbow Alliance invited
Rivera to discuss what
their experiences have
been with oppression
in kink. The workshop
“Kink is
everywhere,
it connects to a
wider sexuality.”
-Ignacio Rivera
LGBTQ+ Activist
had
explained
how
navigating some primary
obstacles of acceptance
that members of this
community face. Rivera
explained that providing
people with information
was the best thing they
could do, that, “if you
have proper information
you can therefore choose
to or choose not to
[participate].”
These are issues close
to Rivera, who identifies
as
two-spirit,
BlackBoricua Taíno, queer,
activist who prefers the
gender pronoun ‘they.’

groups
providing
guidance in areas such
as
sexual
education,
ending
child
abuse,
sober sex, polyamorous
relationships,
sexual
liberation
and
understanding desires.
The
workshop
highlighted the many
facets
of
oppression
in kink by working in
groups to define them.
The factors discussed
were
heterocentrism,
the gender binary, white
supremacy, the patriarchy,
adult
privilege,
body
normativity
and
capitalism.
Together,
these
issues
were
explained as creating
discrimination in some
kink groups.
Rivera
has
been
involved
with
the
Kyle Crozier / Journal Staff
community for a long
time, both as an organizer
of events to create the
spaces people need to
explore and practice their
kink, and as a member
wanting to connect with
others.
As Rivera explained in
a post-workshop interview
with The Suffolk Journal,
their initial passion for
the subject came from
their past
“All of this is very
much connected to my
survivorship, I am a
survivor of child sexual
abuse and rape, and I
really took a long time to
get comfortable with my
body,” they said.
Rivera went on to
discuss
the
journey
they took to become
comfortable with sex,
their body and their
sexuality after the abuse
in their childhood, and
that the journey, “opened
up a new world to me, it
fascinated me, so I wanted
to delve into that world.”
Partly in order to
better understand how
they should move forward
from their experiences
in the past, they entered
into the world of kink,
as Rivera described, a
world that, “demands
negotiation,
consent
and boundary setting”
and that, “especially as a
survivor that really makes
a lot of sense to me. I
know who I am in that
configuration.”
Rivera said they have
worries
that
without
proper sexual education,
many people will never
begin to learn more
about sexuality as a
whole. Regarding the lack
of education, Rivera said
that “it is a disservice” not
to hear a broad spectrum
of ideas.
According to Rivera,
“information is a tool of
knowledge, knowledge is
power.”
For
the
public,
Rivera said being able
to have unstigmatized
conversations
in
the
public is a goal of theirs.
They said that “the
media always boils it
down to whips, chains,
and
dungeons.
That
something is really wrong
with someone if they’re
engaging in this, that
something must have
happened to [them].”
“We don’t want to
take over the world, we
just want to show that
we want to break out of
the very strict framework
that has been given to
us,” Rivera said.

Rainbow Alliance encourages safe expression with “Drageoke”

Halaina Carol conforming to gender
roles and cis-normativity,” optional.
Journal Staff
Suffolk
University’s
Rainbow Alliance has
made strides in the
LGBTQ+ community by
opening up conversation
to help educate those who
may have misconceptions
about
drag
culture.
Last week, the group
held a drag workshop
to
perform
tutorials
for
people
interested
in learning more about
drag makeup and culture.
This week, the group
put those tutorials to
the test at their annual
“Drageoke,” a mash up of
drag and karaoke, as an
appreciation of drag as an
art form.
This occasion creates
a
safe
environment
for people to express
themselves freely without
fear of retribution. All
the performers, especially
those who were wearing
make-up opposite their
gender’s typical external
portrayal, made sure to
take off their makeup
before leaving because
the blurring of gender
lines can make people
uncomfortable and react
in unknown ways, so the
performer’s safety could
be at risk if they remained
in full make-up.
“It [drag] opens the
LGBTQ+
community
to discussions on not

Treasurer-elect Michaela
Hallion in an interview
after the show. “As well
as being a base where
we can break traditional
gender roles and have a
light-hearted, fun space
for LGBTQ+ people.”
When it came to
performing,
in
drag
or not, people were
encouraged to choose a
Drag Queen or King stage
name to perform under.
This ranged from Tequila
Mockingbird
to
Hot
Poodle Lover to Charisma
Valentin. Everyone who
got on stage took on a
sense of their name, and
sang and danced through
the tables of the Somerset
Cafe to their hearts
content.
All
received
cheers and applause from
the audience who were
excited to take on these
new
personaes.
Pink,
glittery eyebrows, beards,
dresses, high heels, and
wigs galore enhanced
these personae and put
the performances over
the top as the performers
jammed out to their
favorite songs. Although,

the night. All who did

They can also make
their voice sound higher
to further take on this
femininity, and change
the way they walk.

the
opposite,
it

can include darkening

These participants can
also speak in a deeper

An act of violence sheds light on greater idea
Patrick Holmes
Opinion Editor
Gun
violence
has
voraciously spread across
the country and in the
past few years, has been
the center of media
attention yet, it seems
that very little has been
done to prevent it.
Although
school
shootings are not new,
they have grown in
frequency,
with
the
latest
occurrence
in
a San Bernardino, CA
elementary school.
The “domestic” attack
littered media sources for
multiple hours.
Earlier this month, two
adults and two children
were shot in a special
education
classroom
where only one child
survived the domestic
attack,
according
to
multiple media sources.
At first, the coverage
of the incident was
immediate
and
omnipresent until the
intrusion was categorized
as an act of domestic
violence.
Then, the broadcast
coverage of the tragedy
largely disappeared.
Behind closed doors,
this type of violence
can happen frequently.
However, once brought
into
the
spotlight,
broadcast media barely
reported the fact that the
incident was domestic
violence. If it were a
“terror attack,” it would
have
gained
more
attention, possibly given
a remembrance day and
other countries may have
shown their respects.
The ex-husband of
the teacher entered the
classroom with the intent
of murdering her, a
motive that was unknown
at the beginning of the
incident.
Once the situation
was confirmed, the act
of misconduct was swept
out of the spotlight and
into the subconscious of
citizens who have been
conditioned to normalize
domestic violence.
Two innocent people
were
murdered
and
another harmed, yet very
few will recognize the
severity of the loss of life,
including the politicians
backing extreme pro-gun
rights.
But the shooting itself
holds more power lost
“
A shooting is allowed
coverage while a
women’s suffering is

in the subconscious: it
was an act of domestic
violence against a woman.

who are pro-gun rights
will argue that if everyone
carried a gun, they
would be able to defend
themselves.

Misguided messages leave
some wanting more
Mainstream media portrays mental illness inaccurately
Katie Dugan
Asst. Opinion Editor
Mental illness is not
often taken seriously,
even by those who have
the power to influence
change.
Filmmakers,
celebrities and power
figures alike could do a
better job at advocating
for those suffering.
Last month, Netflix
released
its
muchanticipated series, an
adaptation of Jay Asher’s
young
adult
novel,
“Thirteen Reasons Why.”
The overarching message
of the show, how words
and actions can deeply
impact someone’s mental
health,
is
portrayed
through a teenage boy,
Clay Jensen, who finds a
box of mysterious cassette
tapes left at his doorstep.
The tapes were left
behind by his classmate
and crush, Hannah Baker,
who committed suicide a
few weeks earlier. On the
tapes, Hannah recorded
the thirteen reasons why
she decided to end her
life.
Although the creators
tried to stay true to
the original novel and
message, the show lacks
any realistic depiction
of the young woman’s
downward spiral resulting
in suicide.
The way the show
addressed mental illness
reflects
the
stigmas
toward
the
subject.
Not once is depression
or anxiety mentioned
throughout the Netflix
series, while in a few
scenes hinted at it, the
show never delved into
be involved with violence
because
it
will
just
exacerbate the situation,
including
domestic
violence.
Now,
arguably,
an
intrinsic part of the
United States culture,
gun violence has reared
it’s ugly head into the
lives of many but is rarely
the topic of mental health,
but danced around it.
Within
the
series,
Baker hardly conveyed
symptoms of depression.
People
with
suicidal
ideation
and
severe
depressive disorder often
cannot get out of bed
and experience drastic
changes in their sleeping
patterns, appetite and
hygiene habits; Baker
showed none of these
symptoms.
A few episodes hint at
a possible mental illness
for Jensen, but again, it
is easily forgotten and
not
addressed
again
in the series. The only
sign of mental illness in
Baker was one episode
in which her grades were
beginning to slip.
See REASONS page 10
correlated with domestic
violence even though gun
violence and domestic
violence often intersect.
There
could
be
similar incidents that
did not happen in an
elementary
school,
which have succumbed
to
the
gatekeeping
decisions by major media
organizations.
This allows us to sweep
these
circumstances
under the rug and pretend
they don’t exist.
Domestic
violence
hides behind black and
blue arms, “I fell,” and a
subtle cry for help in the
hollowness of eyes filled
with sorrow. But often as
a society, we hold a gun to
the victim’s head and say
“shush,” because we’re
too afraid to encounter
issues that are difficult to
control.
Just like that, the
aftermath of a major
attack is hidden because
we don’t want to talk
about the reality.
Karen
Smith
was
murdered in an act of
domestic violence that
disappeared
once
it
was labeled as such.
A shooting is allowed
coverage while a women’s
suffering is hidden.
So, where do we go
from here?
We must talk about
the issues that make our
skin crawl, that make us
want to shut out the rest
of the world and hide.
Discussions
are
inherent to stop the acts
of domestic violence and
other internal incidents
that affect many people
across this country and
others.
It is necessary to hold
the media accountable
for its decisions on the
amount
of
coverage
certain acts of violence
receive.
Although, the media is
not solely responsible. As
citizens of this country,
it is imperative that we
continue the conversation
against violence, including
domestic violence.
We cannot let it
be
hidden
among
the everyday acts of
misconduct by others.
Domestic
violence
cannot hide if you do not
let it.

Editor’s Word
Now in the early
stages of a new executive
administration, the United
States of America has found
herself falling rather short
of the once great-promises
and principles championed
by admired leaders and
patriotic citizens. This
nation is not as formidable
and credible as it used to
be, and that has critical
impact across the globe.
America has stood as
the backbone for freedom
and democracy, but lately
has developed into an
international laughing stock
as we grapple with political
strife amongst our citizens
and representatives, as well
as sit back idly while this
country’s leaders condone
irresponsible actions.
Instead of a model, we
are a target, an example of
a regime in decline. Can
America truly become
great again? Of course she
can-- but it starts on the
forefront of our core values
systems, and in the offices
of the figures that govern
this land. We are supposed
to be one nation indivisible,
but in our quest for justice,
have lost sight of what it
means to epitomize liberty,
let alone for all.
Trump’s retaliation
against Syrian
chemical attacks

Journal Contributor
On Apr. 6, President
Donald Trump launched
a
seemingly
justified
military attack on the
Shayrat
aircraft
base
in Syria. This airstrike

This would not be
the first time chemical

used on Syrian civilians by
their President Bashar alAssad. Al-Assad used these
attacks as a fear tactic to
keep the population from

opposing
parties, according to the
New York Times. By being
able to strike fear in the
eyes of Syrians, al-Assad
portrayed how the other
nations cannot keep them
safe from him.
Trump has criticized
former President Barack
Obama for intervening in
foreign combat and had
warned him via Twitter to
not be involved in Syria.
But it now seems that
Trump has had a change
of heart and better

as president. Hopefully
Trump had made the

advocate for the Syrian
people and to denounce

Letter to the Editor
President Trump has
pointed out the strong
linkage between China
and North Korea, and

development
program.
We must work with
China on resolving this
situation, and also on the
Chinese
encroachment
in the South China Sea
and the trade deficit
imbalance.
At this juncture, the
North Korean nuclear
missile program is of
primary concern. China
can bring pressure on
North Korea to stop its
development of these
weapons
systems
by
reducing its trade with
North Korea.
One area of trade
that is the large quantity
enough to accomplish
such an attack in the
country.
Even
with
the
denial, Trump ordered
tomahawks to target the
Syrian aircraft base.
This is the first military
action the U.S. has taken
in a foreign country since
Trump was inaugurated
and, according to the
U.N. Ambassador Nikki
Haley, it may not be the
last form of action by
the U.S., since the U.S.
government is beginning
to realize the severity of
al-Assad’s rule, according
to the New York Times.

relations with Russian
President Vladimir Putin,
of coal China imports
from North Korea. It is
estimated this amounts
to 22 million tons per
year, which is 40 percent
of North Korea’s coal
exports.
A reduction in the
importation
of
North
Korean
coal
would
significantly impact the
North Korean economy,
and could force change
of position on arms
development.
The United States has
large quantities of coal
available
for
mining,
which could be sold to
China, if cost effective, to
fill its coal importation
needs. This would help
our trade imbalance with
China, boost our coal
mining industry and put
our coal miners back to
work.

it would seem that he
wouldn’t have conducted
any retaliation toward alAssad due to the alliance
between Syria and Russia.
The U.S. must take
stronger action against
al-Assad if any Western
powers of democracy
have any hope that the
chemical weapon attack
will cease or that ISIS
will be defeated. So far,
Trump has taken the first
step in the right direction
toward these hopes and

Representation matters and Netflix fell short
From REASONS page 9 episode,
Instead
of
characterizing
Baker’s
mental decline, she was
constantly berated by
her classmates as being
too emotional, dramatic
and asking for attention.
While that is certainly
a stereotype for people
with depression, the show
focused solely on and
could have spent more
time focusing on Baker
when she was alone.
In
the
very
last
the guidance
counselor, Mr. Porter,
said, “We don’t know
what was in her mind
or in her heart.” Perhaps
this was the writer’s way
of showing the audience
that a mental disability
is not something you can
physically see, and there
is shame associated with
it.
We mostly saw Baker
when she was interacting
with
her
classmates
and
family,
however,
throughout the series, she
was incredibly secretive
about her emotions. So
what about when she was
alone? Was she taking
care of herself? Was she
eating? Was she sleeping
at night?
Many of the side
effects
of
depression
happen when no one is
around.
Baker’s suicide became
a blame game of whose
tape was worse, for
example, “Have you heard
YOUR tape yet?” was a
line spit out by just about
every character.
This way of giving
reason as to why Baker
killed
herself
is
a
repulsive simplification of
a complex mental illness.
I think “Thirteen Reasons
Why”
phenomenally
depicted
controversial
topics into scenes such
as rape and homophobia,
but for its main priority
of encapsulating mental
illness for all that it is,

Rams rally through season
Hannah Arroyo
Asst. Sports Editor
The Rams are more
than halfway into their
season and they have
been taking care of
business so far. Suffolk
University’s baseball team
fell short in just two of
their last 13 games to
Eastern Connecticut State
University and Western
New England University.
On March 29, the
team had a 7-5 win
against
Salem
State
University, which was
the start of a seven-game
win streak. The streak
was broken on April 12
after an 11-5 defeat to
Eastern Connecticut State
University.
Head Coach Anthony
Del Prete said in an
interview with The Suffolk
Journal on Tuesday that
in order to keep winning
games, he expects his
team to give quality
starts on the mound and
offensively earn at least
seven runs.
Suffolk currently has
a record of 16-8 and a
perfect Great Northeast
Athletic
Conference
(GNAC) record of 8-0.
This conference record
is the second best that
Head Coach Anthony Del
Prete has accomplished
since his first season with
the Rams when his team
achieved a 9-0 GNAC
record.
“I think it’s really
just we’ve done a better
job of focusing and our
attention to detail has
been better the last
thirteen games compared
to the first ten,” said Del
Prete. “Each day it’s a
different challenge and
guys have to be ready to
answer those challenges
and compete at a high
level.”
So far in the month
of April, the Rams have
scored a total of 163
runs and have won three
games in which they have
notched more than 20
runs.
In a double header
versus Anna Maria College
on April 15, the Rams
finished the first of their
two-game series with a
score of 30-8. Suffolk
had a total of 27 hits and
junior outfielder Seth
Coiley went 3-for-3 with a
triple and a homerun.
The second match
resulted
in
Suffolk
recording 36 runs, the
most the team has ever
tallied under Del Prete.
Sophomore
pitcher
Kevin Sinatra went seven
innings, allowing only
two runs in six hits.
“I just went out on the
mound and competed,”
said
Sinatra
in
an
interview with The Suffolk
Journal on Tuesday. “It’s
a team sport and my team
produced.”
The
Rams
set
a
program record for 12
doubles in one game
and at least one hit was
recorded from 12 out of
the 16 players. Suffolk
also finished the game
with 36 hits, the most

infielder Sean Cameron
in an interview with
The Journal on Tuesday.
“It was just business as
usual.”
In
this
game,
sophomore
infielder
Kevin Higgins became
the first player to hit a
grand slam at the Rams
home field in East Boston
Memorial Park.
“Anytime you have the
opportunity to contribute
to the team, whether
it be hitting or fielding
it is always a good
feeling,” said Higgins in
an interview with The
Journal on Tuesday. “I am
just happy that I was able
to do it for the team.”
Suffolk pitchers have
also had an impressive
season so far and stand at
the top of the league with
a combined earned run
average (ERA) of 4.09.
Junior right hand pitcher
Mark Fusco has recorded
one of the best stats in
the conference with a
number one ERA of 0.78.
“I’ve got a bunch of
good defensive players
behind me so it’s kudos to
them for helping me keep
[my ERA] where it’s at,”
said Fusco in an interview
with The Journal on
Tuesday.
In the month of April
the Rams have a total
of 11 games left, six of
those being conference
matches.
“The goal every year
is to win the conference
championship,” said Del
Prete. “I think with the
leadership and experience
that we have on roster
there’s no reason why we
shouldn't win it. It’s just
a matter of going out on
the field and taking care

From what was known
as “some of the best
years of [their] lives”
to a college experience
in the city, two softball
players
from
Central
Catholic High School in
Lawrence, Mass. have
continued their diamond
skills together at Suffolk
University.
Juniors Devlin Frost
and Dylan Parsons started
their softball careers at a
young age, and eventually
found
themselves
as
teammates in high school.
The two played four years
on the various teams that
Central Catholic had to
offer such as freshman,
junior varsity and varsity.
The
center
fielder
and first baseman were
not always by each
other's side when they
transitioned from playing
in high school to college.
With a friendship that
started in their teen
years, the adjustment
to a college atmosphere
was not perfectly smooth
explained Parsons.
Parsons,
although
a
junior
at
Suffolk,
has been a part of the
softball program for two
years.
The
Methuen,
Mass. native transferred
from the University of
Massachusetts Dartmouth
her sophomore year.
“It
was
difficult
adjusting
to
a
new
environment with an old
friend,” said Parsons. “I
was a transfer, so I was
adjusting to a new school
and place while she was
“Our roles on the team don’t
overlap that often, but when I’m
playing I can always hear [Frost]
cheering for me and know that she’s
one of my biggest supporters.”
- Junior Dylan Parsons
“I met some of my
greatest friends playing
for Central Catholic and
some of my greatest
memories are from then,”
said center fielder Frost
in a recent interview with
The Suffolk Journal.
The
duo
has
contributed to the success
of the Lady Ram’s winning
record of 14-12. Frost has
an overall batting average
this season of .348 where
Parsons holds a current
average of .250.
Parsons has a goal
during games to move
runners around the bases
while forcing the opposing
team to make a play, she
said. Frost said she sees
herself as a consistent
player for the team and
strives to have a positive
attitude on and off the
field. Regardless of the
statistics and numerical
values of the game, the
Central Catholic alumni
continue to support one
another.
“Our roles on the team
don’t overlap that often,
but when I’m playing I can
always hear her cheering
for me and know that
she’s one of my biggest
supporters,” said Parsons
in a recent interview with
The Journal.
already settled here. It
took some adjustment,
but we have a strong
friendship, and it’s one
I would never want to
lose.”
Frost, a Tewksbury,
Mass. native, has been
involved with the Lady
Ram’s for the past three
years and said when
Parsons joined the team,
things felt a lot better.
“Knowing there was
someone else on the team
who really understood me
and had my back was a
great feeling,” said Frost.
As the Lady Ram’s
continue their season,
Frost and Parsons hope to
remain successful in their
last 14 season games, as
well as the remainder of
their softball careers with
one another.
“This season I believe
my team has the heart,
the drive and the skills
to come together in
the
postseason
and
finally get this program
a
[Great
Northeast
Athletic
Conference]
Championship that we
deserve,” said Frost.

Crossing the finish
line at the 121st annual
Boston Marathon was
like no other feeling for
Amanda McGrath-- it was
emotional.
McGrath,
an
Assistant to the Dean of
Students in the Office
of Student Affairs at
Suffolk University, had
just completed her first
marathon on Monday
and said it was the “best
feeling in the world.”
“Marathon
Monday
has always been one of
my favorite days of the
year,” said McGrath in
an interview with The
Suffolk Journal on
Tuesday afternoon.
McGrath began the
race at her alma mater,
Lasell College in Newton,
Mass., at mile marker 17
and ran toward the finish
line at Copley Square in
Boston at 26.2 miles.
She was granted

“I didn't finish as fast as
I wanted, but I finished,
and that was the best
part. I was able to cross
the finish line with my
best friend and husband.”
Simmonds graduated
in 2008 at Lasell, and
lost his life in April
2014 due to the injuries
he sustained in the

THE GREAT
FLOOD
Suffolk University on-campus residents experience flooding in
10 West and 150 Tremont dormitories. Suffolk officials said there will
not be compensation to personal damages.

It is last Wednesday night and on-campus residents across
the university are attending to their daily activities, cooking
dinner and starting homework, but unbeknownst to them water
would soon be cascading from mainspace vents and pipes in
the ceiling. Textbooks, tablets, a laptop, clothes, food, personal
documentation papers and bedding were soaked and destroyed.
A discharge of steaming, black and musty hot water from heating
pipes bursted into the residency of multiple students. One in
particular, senior government major Sabrina Young, who has
lived in room 213 in 10 West since the beginning of the fall
semester, said they and their suitemates initially speculated that
the water may have been contaminated.
“I didn’t know if there might have been something toxic in the
water,” said Young to a Suffolk Journal reporter on Thursday.
University Assistant Dean of Students Elizabeth Ching-Bush
assured residents of 10 West and 150 Tremont dormitories in
an email sent on Thursday night that the water did not pose as a
health hazard, but an “inconvenience.”
Young’s bathroom and kitchen were flooded, and water
protruded down the hallway as far as some of the bedrooms
within the apartment. Young said an estimated $300 worth of
their own food was destroyed from the dark-colored water.
The fire department told Young and their suitemates to leave the
suite for their safety and each of them were offered to relocate to a
different room that had a vacant bed by the residence hall’s

collided with the ceiling of
a Massachusetts Turnpike
tunnel in Boston early
Sunday morning, which
killed a Suffolk Student.
Yao Cao, a 19-year-old
first-year Suffolk student
and the driver of the
vehicle, was pronounced
dead at the scene due
to the vehicle becoming
airborne and striking
the tunnel. He was an
international
student
from Changchun, China.
Cao, having only been
at the university since
January, was a finance
major within the Sawyer
Business School. Acting
President Marisa Kelly
sent out a statement
Sunday
morning
to
the Suffolk community
offering her sympathies
to those who knew him.
“As you join me in
mourning the tragic loss
of one of our students,
please know that my
thoughts are with all of
you in this very difficult
time,” said Kelly in the
statement. In correlation
with her sentiments, Kelly
held a moment of silence
on Tuesday afternoon
at the University Forum
on the expansion of the
strategic plan.
An
unidentified
woman
was
also
involved as a passenger
in the vehicle and was
immediately rushed to a
local hospital with nonlife threatening injuries,
but as of late Tuesday
night, there has been no
update on her condition.
Based on information
by the state police, they
believe the accident was
caused
by
“excessive
speed and impairment.”

young life is a tragedy

Tuesday
afternoon to address the
expansion of the strategic
plan. Acting President
Marisa Kelly began the
forum by outlining a
broad addition to the
university’s 2012 strategic
plan that will be extended
through 2019. This plan,
which Kelly said will be
tied to the university
budget, will include a
potential partnership with
international
student
recruitment firm INTO
University Partnerships.
Kelly, who tackled how
to respond to the national
decreasing
numbers
of
traditionally-aged
college students seeking
a higher education in
the Northeast, the high
cost of earning a college
degree, the challenges
of international student
enrollment
and
the
external threat of local
competition, said that
the plan will reinforce
“our historic mission but
builds upon it in ways
necessary to ensure our
future.”

Acting Provost Sebastian Royo introduced the recruitment firm

Board of Trustees will then review the proposal.
well as nine partnerships
across
the
United
States in predominantly
public universities such
as
Washington
State
University,
Colorado
State University and the
University of Alabama at
Birmingham.
The partnership, which
would be a commissionbased entity instead of
an outside contractor,
according to Kelly, is
scheduled to be sent to
New England Association
of Schools and Colleges
(NEASC) for review by
the end of the week. After
NEASC’s approval, the
Board of Trustees will then
review and potentially
approve it for it to be
possibly implemented at
the university by January
2018, according to Royo.
Royo said that with the
decrease in international
student
enrollment-from 1,509 in the 2015
academic year to 1,388
international students in
the 2016 academic year-and the possibility of the
new federal programs that
President Donald Trump
has looked to implement,
raise
questions
with
student visas.
“[International
students] are worried that
what they can do in the
U.S. will be affected by
the policies of the Trump
administration,”
said
Royo.
Royo argued INTO
would
“increase
our
competitiveness in [the]
international market” by
leveraging
enrollment
through INTO’s reach and
developing a stronger
global footprint. This
partnership,
Royo
said, would allow the
university to admit a
selective population of
international
students
who are aligned with
the brand and prestige
Suffolk represents.
Kelly,
who
spoke
extensively on ensuring
that Suffolk was ranked
both
regionally
and
nationally, said it was
time to conquer external
threats that both all
colleges in the country
are facing, but also those
threats specific to Suffolk.
Managing
Associate
Director
of
Student
Financial
Services
Jennifer Ricciardi spoke
on incorporating new
initiatives that would
promote diversity and
inclusion on campus,
focus
on
human
resources, amplify student
organizations and the
Athletics department as
well as increase housing
opportunities.
“It’s Suffolk’s goal to
make an agreement of an
externally funded housing
opportunity to most likely
be opened in 2019,” said
Ricciardi in an interview
with The Suffolk Journal
after the forum.
The
university
is
currently unsure of the
exact location or if the
new
housing
would
require students to take
public transportation just
yet, according to Senior
Vice President of Finance
and
Administration
Treasurer Laura Sander in
an interview on Tuesday.
The idea of the externally
funded housing would
“most
likely
be
a
developer owning the
property,” but Suffolk
would still have enough
control,
according
to
Ricciardi, where it would
be a partnership, but not
an outside contractor.
The price, however, has
not
been
determined
as there are several
conversation
occurring
on location still, but
Sander hopes that pricing
will be comparable to
on-campus housing in
Suffolk’s residence halls.
“What’s
important
is that the housing is
accessible to students
while
also
being
financially
affordable,”
said Ricciardi.
Kelly suggested in
an interview with The
Journal that the goal is
to generate housing for
undergraduate students
to take up residence for
two years and expressed
her
hopes
for
the
potential housing for
graduate students.

Students dedicate Spring Break to service, social justice training
Haley Clegg
Photo Editor
For
many
college
students, spring break is a
time to unwind at home,
visit friends and family,
or enjoy an exciting
vacation. However, some
Suffolk students decided
to use their week off from
school to help those in
need.
Each year, Suffolk’s
Center for Community
Engagement
sends
students
to
different
locations all across the
country during winter
and spring breaks to work
as volunteers for different
organizations. This year,
some students spent their
vacations in Colorado,
Mississippi,
Arizona,
Georgia,
Pennsylvania
and Maryland.
Senior
Jessica
DiLorenzo traveled to
Bel Air, Md where she
worked with Habitat for
Humanity. This was her
third year with Suffolk’s
Alternative Spring Break
(ASB) program and led
this year’s trip.
“I have a passion for
service learning. It’s such
a great feeling to make
an impact on someone’s
life who will never be
able to repay you,” said
DiLorenzo in a recent
interview
with
The
Suffolk Journal.
Despite
the
trip
being cut short due to
a blizzard, her group
made the most of their
time and were able to
rehabilitate a house, as
well as work with the
company “ReStore” who
collects donated furniture
and hardware and sells
them to fund the housing
projects.
“Every year I am
shocked how well the
groups come together
and get to know one
another,” said DiLorenzo.
“There is also a learning
aspect where we teach
students social justice
curricular leading up to
the trip so that students
really understand why the
work we are doing is so
important.”
Junior Global Business
and
Marketing
major
Hannah Drain was a part
of the group that traveled
to Meridian, Mississippi.
Her group of 14 painted
walls,
hung
drywall
and worked on outdoor
cleaning in order to
restore a family’s home,
all while interacting with
them and learning about
the state of Miss.
“I learned so much
about southern culture
and hospitality. All of the
stereotypes that we had
we were able to resolve.
I learned more about why
things are the way they
are, as well as what the
misconceptions are,” said
Drain in a recent interview
with The Suffolk Journal.
Drain
said
she
appreciated
the
experience and urged
other
students
to
take advantage of this
experience. “It’s a great
opportunity
to
meet
new people while doing
something as powerful
as Habitat for Humanity,”
she said.
Senior Public Relations
major Cortney Holmes
traveled to Denver, Colo.
as a part of the ASB
program. This was her
fourth year, and has loved
it ever since her first trip
as a freshman.

with not only our own
community, but other
communities as well, said
Holmes. “I think it’s easy
for people to stay in what
is familiar to them and
only think about their
experiences in the world.”
While
community
service is the primary
goal of the Alternative
Spring Break program,
students
often
learn
valuable life lessons and
build friendships with
their fellow peers.
“It’s a great way to
leave your comfort zone
with a supportive group
of people that will become
your friends. It’s a way to
realize the privileges we
have as individuals and
do our best to impact
others,” said DiLorenzo.

Suffolk students’ stock market schooling in blog
Chris DeGusto
News Editor
After
the
market
crashed in the waning
months of 2008, many
people both enveloped
within the industry and
those seeking to profit
off the trading of stocks,
have been skeptical of
the risks that come with
investing
their
hard
earned money. Last fall,
two Suffolk University
seniors
launched
an
online
financial
blog,
“Imperium
Investment
Analysis”
(Imperium)
to educate and inform
current
and
prospect
investors of the risks the
stock market presents,
and provide their own
advice so readers and
investors
alike
can
formulate
their
own
money-making formula.
“I’m a 22-year-old guy
that wants to teach people
from my experiences so
you don’t get scammed
out of your money like
I did,” said Trenton
Barnard.
Barnard, a senior who
has acted as a portfolio
manager for the Suffolk
University
Student
Investment Fund, came
to Suffolk from Utah,
founded Imperium last
October and the first blog
post was published the
following month. Barnard,
a philosophy major, told a
Suffolk Journal reporter
in a recent interview
that he initially made his
first sum of money in
stocks by investing in the
Twitter IPO, and would
often skip classes to trade.
The former analyst for a
Boston-based investment
firm, Barnard quit his
full-time employment in
the fall to devote his time
to Imperium.

according to Barnard.
Currently,
Imperium
operates
as

posting
weekly stock lists and
technical
tips.
This
product customers could
purchase. A complete
package of resources at
a one-time flat rate is the
goal for Imperium, which
Barnard would consist
of investment education
products, e-book and a
“I’m a 22-year-old guy that wants to teach
people from my experiences so you don’t get
scammed out of your money like I did.”
-Trenton Barnard
apt to educating himself,
by asking which tools he
could utilize to create an
influx of knowledge on
the subject.
“I look up to this guy.
He knows so much,” said
Balgobin of Barnard in a
recent interview with The
Journal.
At
Imperium,
the
goal is to create highquality
business
and
financial content that
readership is at no cost
and is something Barnard
intends to permanently
keep.
“If you focus on
delivering real, valuable
content to people over
money, the profits will
follow,” said Barnard.
Bannard
discussed
that
Imperium’s
gameplan
for
this
summer could potentially
fruitify
an
inclusive
tailored program. This
would allow investors
using this package to
uniquely view different
methods
based
upon
their personal interests
and strategies, while also
having the ability to view
the entirety of Imperium’s
content.
“We are giving you the
knowledge and education
[for people] to build their
own adventure,” said
Balgobin.
Balgobin’s
own
investing adventure did
not begin in the most
prosperous manner, as
he lost close to $1000
on penny stocks. Having
followed another trader’s
“get rich quick” system
and seeing the results not
forthcoming,
Balgobin
said he took a step back,
closed his portfolio, and
absorbed the knowledge
he would need to build his
own strategy of investing.
He said other traders
will sell you a platform
and only one way to trade
stocks, but Imperium is
detail oriented, and has
focused on being real
with people to show them
how to hone their craft.
“We want to make you
an independent investor,”
said Barnard.
Barnard said he hopes
to have co-sponsorships
with firms in the future,
but specified he wants
to keep the Imperium
website ad-free so that
readers can focus on the
content provided.
He said that people
do not have the leverage
with their money that
they would like, to be able
to exercise their finances
on vacations, or making
student loan payments.
Trust from customers is
a key factor for Balgobin,
who said people do not
have to spend thousands
of dollars [like other
programs
charge]
to
access and utilize this
investing
information.
He said it is essential to
that the two partners at
Imperium take time out
of their days to deliver
quality content to help
investors “unlock another
financial key.”

Students misplaced, no timeline for repairs as of yet
From FLOOD page 1
Director
Jessica
Wheeler. Each of the
suitemates declined to
enter “a stranger’s dorm,”
according to Young.
Wheeler declined to
be interviewed for this
article on Tuesday night.
Also equally as shocked
were the residents of
room 408, who described
how a typically normal
scene of cooking dinner
ended with water being
sprayed down on them
from above.
“It sounded like an
earthquake,
like
the
ceiling was going to come
through,” said one of the
female residents.
For days, the main
door to Young’s suite
was propped open, but
the residents were not
officially allowed inside to
retrieve their belongings
unless they contacted
Suffolk University Police
Department
(SUPD),
according to Young.
“We
weren’t
told
the room would be left
open all day. There are
definitely personal items
that I know have been left
behind that I [now] can’t
locate,” said Young.
I n d u s t r i a l
dehumidifiers and fans
were placed around the
affected suites by ProCare Disaster Restoration
Services. One employee
of the company expressed
that their current job
was to clean and dry the
rooms
before
further
actions were taken, but
some residents were not
satisfied with this process.
Young’s concern lied
not in the heating pipes,
but in the carpets, fearing
that mold would have
already
spawned
and
spread in such a short
time.
“It’s honestly not good
enough for me,” said
Young. “They better be
ripping the carpets out
and replacing it [because
of] the likelihood of mold
already growing even
after one hour.”
However, it was not
only Suffolk students
affected by the pipes
bursting.
Just
below
some of the resident
halls is both the Back
Deck
restaurant
and
Boston Common Coffee
Company-- both of which
pay rent to the university.
Back Deck said that they
received minimal damage
and were able to open
the following night for
dinner. However, Boston
Common Coffee expects
to remain closed for an
additional week or two.
Co-owner of Boston
Common Coffee Tony
Massari said in a phone
interview with The Suffolk
Journal on Tuesday night
that three different pipes
bursted, which caused
damage to the shop’s
retail merchandise, coffee
and sitting areas.
“[Suffolk
University]
has been great,” said
Massari. “But now the
insurance has to handle
things.”
Massari explained that
he and his partner, Peter
Femino, have experienced
water damage at their
Canal Street location in
the past when the shop
was closed for four days.
Yet this time, the coowners will have to file
for both damages and loss
of business.
In total, 46 student
residents
across
150
Tremont and 10 West
have been affected by
water damage throughout
the month of March.
Gia Sarkis, a resident
of room 313 in 10 West
explained that she too felt
uncomfortable with the
idea of staying with new
people.
“The first night I
stayed in a hotel that
my mom paid for, I went
home for the weekend,
and now I am staying on
my friends couch at her
apartment because I feel
uncomfortable
staying
with a random person,”
said Sarkis in an interview
with The Journal on
Monday.
Sarkis said that she
was informed her finances
will not be reimbursed for
her hotel stay. Students
who have experienced
damage to their personal
belongings will not be
compensated for their
loss, as residents were
encouraged to purchase
renter’s insurance at their
orientations.
“The
student
understands
that
the
University is not liable
for loss or damage to
their personal property
whether by way of fire,
flood, accident, Act of
God, loss or interruption
of heat, electricity, air
conditioning,
burglary,
theft, vandalism, or for
whatever
reason

consequentially the result

Residence Life staff met
with the affected students
in order to assist with

relocation.
He
said
that
Ching-Bush
conducted small meetings
with each of the students
in order to discuss what
occurred.
Ching-Bush did not
respond
to
Journal
reporters for an interview
as of Tuesday night.
Director
of
Construction
Services
Andre Vega said in an
interview on Tuesday
afternoon that an outside
contractor went into the
dormitories and assessed
how long it would take
to repair the damages.
Insurance adjusters went
into the dormitories both
Monday and Tuesday
to assess the amount
of money it would cost
to repair the affected
areas of the buildings.
Vega said that he will
oversee the drying out
and construction phase
as he said the pipes were
already repaired.
Vega confirmed that
the pipes that had bursted
were heating pipes and
“warm water” had leaked
into the residents’ rooms.
Vega was not able to
give
an
approximate
temperature of the water.
Michal
Kanra,
a
sophomore
living
in
room 214 of 10 West,
awoke to the sound of his
roommate stepping off his
bed and onto the ground
where a pool of water had
developed in their room,
while they slept.
“I personally feel they
don’t know how to handle
the situation considering
they have done nothing to
compensate us and have
done nothing to fix the
problem,” said Sarkis. “So
if anything, I don’t feel
the response was rushed
at all, I just feel like they
don’t know what to do.”
Some of the students
suggested that the pipes
had burst due to their
heat not working for a
significant amount of
time- a complaint that
many residents of the
building have complained
about whether they have
been affected by water
damage or not.
“We
are
still
investigating the root
cause
and
depending
on what is determined
that will dictate how
we proceed in taking
preventative
steps,”
said
the
university
spokesperson. “This is
not something that has
happened previously. It
was not a case frozen
pipes bursting. We will
look at the results of the
investigation and then
determine the best plan
going forward.”

Global Commentary: The weight behind Kim Jong-Un’s nuclear threat
Amy Koczera
Journal Staff
Over the past few
weeks, Secretary of State
Rex Tillerson has visited
South
Korea,
Japan
and China to discuss
North Korea’s nuclear
initiatives. According to
The New York Times,
Tillerson announced “all
options are on the table”
when it comes to dealing
with these measures. Just
two days after Tillerson’s
statement, North Korea
posted
a
propaganda
video
on
YouTube
depicting a United States
aircraft
carrier
and
warplane being destroyed
in a computer-generated
explosion.
The caption stated
North Korean missiles
will be “stabbed into the
throat of the carrier”
and the jet will “fall
from the sky.” This rapid
development of North
Korea’s nuclear arsenal
has both US citizens and
leaders alarmed. However,
U.S. leaders do not have
the
most
successful
reputation when it comes
to
confronting
other
nations about nuclear
development.
Tillerson announced
the US would take a “new
approach” to dealing with
North Korea’s nuclear
ambitions. Yet, Tillerson
never described what the
details of that plan would
involve. Past U.S. leaders
such as Barack Obama
and George W. Bush
made similar statements
related to dealing with
international
nuclear
affairs, describing how
each approach would be
new and different, yet
failing to follow through
with any kind of
unique,
groundbreaking plan.
“Someone
forgot
to tell him that a new
administration promising
a new approach it can’t
quite articulate is, in
fact, the old approach,”
said Jeffrey Lewis in
The Washington Post in
response to Tillerson’s
announcement.
The U.S. government
has a tremendous history
of saying there is a plan,
but
never
explicitly
explaining what that plan
is. It may seem frustrating
to U.S. citizens to feel as
if their government
is not doing enough. Due
to this, there will always
be the question of how
much the government
is
withholding
from
citizens.
In situations where
nuclear
weapons
are
developing at such a rapid
pace, many find it hard to
believe that North Korea
isn’t a threat. According
to The Korea Times, Kim
Jong-un is believed to
have spent more than
$97 million dollars to
fire a total of 31 ballistic
missiles.
It’s
hard to rationalize why
a country would spend
such a substantial amount
of money building their
nuclear arsenal if it’s just
an empty threat.
“They’re such a big
threat because they’re
so unpredictable,” said
Suffolk University history
professor Ron Suleski.
North Korea gives off
the impression that they
don’t want anything to do
with any other nations,
yet they post threatening
propaganda videos and
conduct sporadic nuclear
missile tests.
The U.S. is cautiously
approaching this issue
right now.

Jacob Geanous
World News Editor
The
presidential
scandal
that
has
continued to unfold in
South Korea has reached
a heightened level of
drama that may even
trump America’s televised
political circus.
Park Geune-hye, the
former South Korean
president,
became
the
country’s
first
democratically
elected
leader to be impeached
earlier this month after
a
corruption
scandal
came to light, and now
prosecutors are calling
for her arrest, reported
the New York Times.
Prosecutors

that
Park

Choi Soon-Sil, to use her

said
Suleski. China may know
more about North Korea
than China is willing to
admit. It is possible that
the U.S. also knows more
about North Korea than
the U.S. has divulged. For
America to avoid losing
China as an ally, U.S.
leaders are cautiously
acting as though they’re
making
change,
even
though hardly anything is
being done.
History has taught
us
that
erratic
and
unpredictable
behavior
is the essence of North
Korean
government.
Nuclear weapons can
have
catastrophic
consequences and cannot
be taken lightly. It is
the U.S. government’s
responsibility to do more
than just say they’re
making change and to take
action before something
ruinous happens.
the
president
to
solicit
contributions
from business leaders
to firms she controlled.
It has also been alleged
that the contributions to
Choi’s firm were used as
a bribe for Park’s help
to rally approval for a
controversial
Samsung
merger.
Park, the country’s
first female president,
had her political powers
suspended in December
after
a
legislative
impeachment
vote,
but remained in the
presidential Blue House
and avoided the public
eye while the country’s
Constitutional
Court
deliberated
on
her
impeachment, according
to multiple news sources.
Earlier this month,
eight justices on the
country’s Constitutional
Court
unanimously
decided to unseat her
during a ruling that was
broadcasted nationally.
The video of the
impeachment
ruling
immediately went viral
on social media and is
how many living in South
Korea learned of Park’s
fall from grace. This
included Tonny Barua,
a
Suffolk
Broadcast
Journalism major that is
studying abroad at Yonsei
University in Seoul.
The decision sparked
massive protests at the
country’s capital, which,
according to Barua, have
been sensationalized by
worldwide media outlets
after two Park supporters
were killed during a clash
with police in the initial
uproar.
“I have seen a bunch
of people living in South
Korea make fun of
American news [and] how
they are making a huge
deal about it and how
brutal it is,” said Barua.
She explained that the
protesters in South Korea
are much more peaceful
and organized than
those in the United
States. They even have a
schedule for protesting
that breaks the day into
segments for different
groups to protest.
“I walked by city
hall and people weren’t
looking intense,” said
Barua. “You don’t feel
like there is anything
going on.”
Barua said she has had
to calm her parents down
after they called her to
tell her not to leave her
campus because they fear
it’s dangerous.
“Everyone’s freaking
out in the U.S. for no
reason,” she said.
Barua said that she
has stayed at arm’s length
from the protests at
Seoul’s City Hall for fear
of being punished.
She explained that
if she was found taking
part in the protests, she
could be barred from the
private university or even
the country.
“Us exchange students
aren’t allowed to get
involved in that,” Barua
said. “If we are in the
place of protest we
might be kicked out of
the university were are
at or banned from the
country.”
Protests are slated
to continue until South
Korea will decide on
the next president in a
special election on May
9, multiple news sources
report.
Moon Jae-in, of the
opposition
Democratic
Unity
Party,
is
the
frontrunner in opinion
polls that were conducted
shortly
after
the
impeachment, signaling
a possible countrywide
swing to the left.

Suffolk

Admiring

watching a live flamenco

in an interview with The
Suffolk Journal on Friday.
“One of them is to expose
them to an international
experience. A lot of the
students, most of them
have not had experiences
in other countries.”
Students were exposed
to all types of Spanish
cuisine including squidink paella, croquetas and
tortilla espanola.
Freshman marketing
and global business major
Sophia Romeo appreciated
the opportunity to try the
country’s unique food.
“As a foodie myself, it
was a great opportunity
to try new food and
immerse
myself
in
Spanish
culture,”
she
said in an interview with
The Suffolk Journal on
Tuesday night.
Their trip also included
a tapas tour where they
had a truly authentic
experience.
“Through
touring
local spots we had the
opportunity
to
taste
traditional Spanish food,
especially
croquetas
which were the crowd
favorite,” said Romeo.
Although the trip was
packed with adventure,
visiting Spain was more
than a vacation. It was a
cultural experience that
showed them how people
in another country live.
“I was really happy
to go with this program
because I felt I saw so
much for only going for a
week,” freshman English
major Ali D’Arcangelo
said in an interview about
her experience. “I would
not have gotten as much
out of it if I didn’t go
with the Global Gateway
program because they
created a busy itinerary
for the entire week so we
would be able to see as
much as possible.”
Few
events
were
scheduled
during
evenings
so
students
could explore the city and
dive into the nightlife.
“I think it’s important
to
acknowledge
and
learn different lifestyles
than the one you are
accustomed to, not just
on a personal level,
but on a global scale.
Understanding
how
people different than you
operate can show you who
you are or how you want
to live your life as well as
learn to be accepting of
others,” freshman global
business and marketing
major Anne Muise said.
“Bridging gaps between
cultures is so important
now more than ever, too.”
Students also took day
trips to two Spanish cities,
Segovia and Toledo, to
see more of the country
outside
the
capital,
including the famous
Aqueduct of Segovia.
Students were also
able
to
build
close
relationships
with
Suffolk faculty members
and students currently
studying abroad. While
many students from the
group did not know each
other in the beginning, by
the end of their week they
had formed friendships
with one another.
“To be put in a group
of people that you do not
know and go to a foreign
culture that you’re not
familiar with can be
intimidating, but it ended
up being a completely
rewarding
experience
that I couldn’t have gotten
anywhere else,” freshman
international economics
major Jordan Albrizio said
after returning to Boston.
Royo hopes to expand
this program each year,
so that within the next
three to four years every
incoming
freshman
will
have
the
same
opportunity that these
students did.
“Ultimately our goal
and our dream is that
this becomes part of
the Suffolk experience,”
Courtesy of Haley Clegg
Royo said. “That in their
freshman year, they could
have a unique experience
that no other college
offers.”
Royo
hopes
that
participation
in
the
program inspires other
students to visit and study
at Suffolk University’s
Madrid campus.

The show was a
celebration and exposé
of the human body. What
seemed like a logical and
methodical
progression
of a more traditional
ballet to contemporary
pieces turned out to be
a pragmatic approach to
the artform.
The
first
of
the
three
performances
was the light-hearted
George
Balanchine’s
“Donizetti
Variations.”
Choreographed to the
ballet music from act
two of Donizetti’s 1843
opera, “Don Sebastian.”
The
performance
features
a
principal
couple, surrounded by
an ensemble of three
men and six women.
This piece is flirty and
funny and has some
sugary-sweet components
similar to that of “Swan
Lake” or “The Nutcracker”
performances. The color

is

“Wings

much darker tone that
is initially set when the
curtain rose and reveals a
dead tree hanging upside
down from the ceiling.
Circling the tree was a
single spotlight which
cast eerie shadows along
the faces of the dancers
and the limbs of the tree.
It was in this piece that

to use the scale ruler to
things that you would
never be able to do now.”
With such a large
cast, Buretta knew that
she wouldn’t be able to
construct
full-fledged
costumes
for
each
member other than the
leads and other important
roles in the show. She
told The Journal that she
has devised a system that
focuses on the different
levels of the roles.
Buretta
explained
that the levels rely on a
scale of “realization.” For
instance, main characters
Orlando
and
Queen
Elizabeth and roles who
are heavily tied to Orlando
will have “fully realized”
costumes.
Whereas
some people who might
only interact with main
characters once or twice
will only feature a jacket
and a hat.
The
rest
of
the
costuming and accessories
are being bought or
rented.
According to Buretta,
many of her peers are
project.
However with a cast of
this magnitude, Buretta
has remained nothing but
upbeat about working
with her peers. She said
that the show has a lot of
new people, new freshmen
and sophomores that she
hasn’t had the chance to
work with before. The
costume designer has a
very personal relationship
with the actors because
they are with them all
of the time whether it
be constantly fitting and
refitting their costumes,
or ensuring that the
costumes work properly
and don’t malfunction
while on the moving
bodies of the actors.
Buretta did comment
on the young talent of
freshman theatre major
Mickey Rodgers and her
role as “Orlando.”
“The
part
is
so
interesting because you
have to be able to play
both roles. You have to

In a whirlwind of
fabric,
sketches
and
beading, Maxine Buretta
has managed to harness
her innate ability to create
and focus it toward her
senior thesis, “Orlando.”
The theatre major has
spent her last four years
at Suffolk University in
the throes of the theatre
department,
amidst
casting, costuming and
creating. She is familiar
with the stages of the
Modern Theater, Sullivan
Studio and the once
great C. Walsh Theater
on Temple Street. The
culmination
of
her
learning experiences and
time spent is now being
put to the test in Suffolk’s,
“Orlando.”
With a new title of
costume designer, Buretta
explained the process
of creating the 35 to 40
costumes that would be
featured in “Orlando.”
Faced with the challenge
of tackling gender fluidity
and the task of creating a
scheme that would cover
300 years and multiple
cultures, Buretta was up
for the test.
Written by British
modernist author Virginia
Woolf, the show follows
17th century Orlando, the
protagonist, through a
series of gender and time
changes. While the show
itself covers more than
300 years of time, space
and
culture,
Orlando
only ages 36 years. Faced
with this immense task,
Buretta was excited to
take on the challenge.
“I’ve
been
doing
costumes in the theatre
department for all four
years that I’ve been in
school,” said Buretta in
a recent interview with
The Suffolk Journal. “We
don’t have a costume
program in our theatre
department, so it was
sort of something that
they were like, ‘we want
to have a culmination of
all of the work that you’ve
done thus far.’ They
proposed this to me as a
thesis project, and that’s
sort of how we stumbled
to where we are now.”
Buretta has absorbed
everything in her four
years in the theatre
department and has been
working on improving her
skills by learning from an
assigned mentor, Leslie
Held.

a thesis project and
building tons of costumes
so it’s kind of fantastic
that all of these things are
kind of coming together
right now.”
Buretta
became
involved
with
the
department productions,
and ultimately costuming,
by helping out with
the Fall and Spring
Showcases
that
are
put on every semester.
Buretta worked her way
up the ladder by assisting
in all of the showcases
amidst other productions,
leading to the role of
assisting the designers
that the university would
bring in to do mainstage
shows. Now that she has
established a name and
place for herself within
the department, she gets
to design the shows,
complete with her own
assistants.
“It’s been interesting
with this show because
the point is more so
the gender, and really
focusing on that,” she
said.
“Some
of
the
silhouettes have a higher
neckline.
We’ve
been
cutting those down a
little bit to really amp up
[Orlando’s] femininity.”
When looking for a
specific design or pattern,
designers can consult
with
compilations
or
pattern
books.
What
Buretta struggled with
initially was the fact that
the patterns she was
looking for were far too
dated to possibly appear
in any modern book,
forcing her to begin with
a basic pattern to create
blow them up to the right
size,” Buretta said as she
explained how she has
been able to create many
of the costumes.
Buretta
said
that
most of the dresses she
designed for the 16th, 17th
and 18th centuries have
similar silhouettes that
correspond to respective
countries such as the
United States or France.
The dresses have big hip
skirts, which the base she
uses to begin a design for
a female costume. Once
she gains the approval of
the director of the show,
she proceeds to do what’s
referred to as a “muslin,”
or the base. Once that is
constructed, Buretta is
able to use that design to
begin to cut and use real
fabric to start making the
actual costume that will be
worn by an actor. Amidst
minor fittings in between
fabric
selections
and
the use of the “muslin”
is when the full outfit
begins to form. After
all of these stages take
place,
embellishments
like the trim and zippers
can be added. This final
stage is where Buretta
finds herself now. Unsure
of her official budget,
Buretta estimated that
she’s spent roughly $1500
so far.
“I think the flair and
your own personal taste
comes in the fabrics that
you use, and the trims
that you choose, the
silhouettes are what they
are, there’s not too much
flexibility there but the
people in the 18th and
19th century loved to
this
as a
thesis
woman convincingly, and
I think she has the sort of
naive-ness to her. She’s
so innocent and so sweet
that you’re like ‘she’s so
pure,’ when she’s a man,
but you can feel her
femininity and it really
shines
through
when
she’s a woman.”
Outside of the theatre
department,
Buretta
spends time with dance
company,
Urbanity
Dance, and has also been
working with Wheelock
Family Theatre in their
production of “Charlotte’s
Web.” While most of
her outside stagework is
freelance, Buretta said
that the freelance path is
where she is headed for
the time being. According
to Buretta, she is taking
any jobs that come her
way, but is mostly looking
for short-contract based
jobs because she wants to
learn as much as she can
as quickly as possible.

OPINION
Discrimination:
Our political sensitivity
and intolerance of
criticism
Chaim Wigder
Journal Staff
A new popular debate
strategy that has surfaced
in the last few years,
particularly since the
most recent presidential
election: criticizing one’s
opponent as a “sensitive”
or “special” snowflake.
The insult was first
directed at the perceived
hypersensitivity
among
students
on
college
campuses, but has now
come to be thrown around
in response to virtually
anything the younger
generations might say
that disagrees with the
status quo, and is mostly
thrown from the far right
toward the left.
This isn’t just another
immature
derogatory
term. It also highlights a
real problem facing both
the right and the left: the
inability to distinguish the
criticism and exchange of
ideas from intolerance
and prejudice.
Demanding the same
rights as everyone else
does not make one
overly
sensitive,
and
“
Besides,
standing
up against
discrimination,
bullying,
and
intolerance
is
something
everyone
should
absolutely
be sensitive
about.
STAY TUNED:
Have you ever wondered about the
restrictions on the use of weed?
calling everyone who
does a “snowflake” is a
cheap attack that carries
no
substance
other
than furthering societal
divides. At the same time,
closing oneself off from
opposing
viewpoints
-- offensive or not -is
indeed
dangerous.
Neither side should lose
sight of what’s important.
Our culture prides
itself on its tolerance of
individuality, yet some
use it as a means of
discrimination. As we
make progress with equal
rights, there will be more
and
more
minorities
who’ve faced intolerance
and will demand to have
their voice heard. This
doesn’t mean people are
getting more needlessly
sensitive;
it
means
people
are
becoming
more mindful of how
we should treat others.
Unique (“snowflake”) or
not, all people deserve to
be treated with respect.
We must also be
careful to acknowledge
that people should be
sensitive
about
the
right things. A free and
just
society
requires
two essential qualities.
Equal rights are surely
the first. The other is
the ability to freely
criticize and exchange
ideas. Unfortunately, the
latter is often seen as
incompatible with the
former and therefore gets
equated with intolerance.
A striking example of
this is indeed on college
campuses, where invited
speakers have increasingly
been met with protests,
human blockades - and at
times violent riots - due
to their beliefs, which,
in a shockingly high
number of cases, happen
to be misattributed or
otherwise distorted.
No doubt there are
ingenuine trolls who have
no place in an academic
environment, such as
Milo

Another perspective: Who
are you calling a snowflake?
Katie Dugan
Asst. Opinion Editor
Millennials have a lot
of negative stereotypes
about
them.
We’re
entitled, lazy, we’re numb
to acts of violence and
we’re obsessed with social
media and technology.
But probably the oddest
stereotype about us is
that we are too sensitive
and get offended easily.
Truthfully,
we
do
tend to come off as a
delicate bunch. Everyone
seems to have an opinion
about everything, and
millennials are especially
vocal
about
them,
predominantly on our
social media accounts.
However
we
don’t
complain for the sake of
complaining. The world
right now is a disaster and
there’s plenty to complain
about.
We did not invent
awareness of social issues
and being offended about
things going on in the
world. However, we did
popularize social media.
We take to social media
to make our voices heard
and one of the most
prominent and successful
millennials in the world,
Mark Zuckerberg, has
said, “By giving people
the power to share, we’re
making the world more
transparent.”
When you disagree
with someone is it more
proactive to say, “no,
you’re wrong,” or “why
do you think that way?”
Different
perspectives
and personal experiences
are the foundations in
which this country prides
itself on, so why are we
scrutinized for expressing
discrepancies?
Last year, the term
“sensitive
snowflake,”
seemingly
popularized
by Republican political
commentator
Tomi
Lahren,
became
the
defining
insult
of
2016. The term began
circulating social media
as a way to demean young
people for being too easily
offended. Essentially, the
term is used in relation
to purported generational
differences.
More specifically, it is
directed toward people
who became adults in
the 2010s as being more
prone to take offense
and less resilient than
previous generations, or
as being too emotionally
vulnerable to cope with
views that go against
their own.
Baby
boomers
are
forgetting that they were
the ones who raised us socalled snowflakes. While
they may see whining and
hypersensitivity, we see it
as being more aware of
widespread ramifications
of sexism and racism -issues the generation of
Donald Trump supporters
appear to be ignoring.
Teenage
rebellion
used to be sneaking out
late at night and listening
to punk music. Today
it is wearing pink hats
and protesting. Donald
Trump’s presidency has
brought to light some
deep-rooted

the conversation toward

that would directly affect
us.
We owe this awareness
to the Internet. We have
access to millions of
different viewpoints at
once. Despite growing up
in a predominately white,
middle-class town with
a population of about
13,000, growing up with
access to Youtube videos,
blogs and tweets flooded
my narrow world with
opinions.
At the risk of being
ironic, the act of calling
someone a snowflake
for
disagreeing
with
you is insensitive in
itself. It’s another way
of dismissing someone’s
opinion as invalid, and
it almost seems like one
step closer to gaslighting.

contradictory,

people of all generations

for their rights as human
beings that are going
to be threatened by the
current
administration
in Washington D.C. That
doesn’t seem to be a
hypersensitive
act
or
behavior to me at all.
Calling someone a
sensitive snowflake is
an easy way to diffuse
the attention toward a
challenged point of view.
To be fair, it is possible
for people to read too
much into messages and
spark
a
controversial
discussion when there
wasn’t one to begin with.
But millennials are not
the only generation guilty
of that; everyone does it
once in awhile. By telling
our entire generation that
we are being “sensitive
snowflakes” is the same
as telling us that our
opinions don’t matter.
Silent
opinions
have
rarely done anyone any
favors.
If you’ve done your
research and have your
facts
straight,
your
opinion is valuable, and
you should never feel
discredited
because
someone thinks you’re
being “too sensitive.”
Older generations may
say our trigger warnings
and safe spaces make us
spineless and incapable
of dealing with the harsh
realities of the real world.
This is such a narrowminded way of looking
at society and I do not
think that negatively of
the “real world” where
we can’t be progressive
or educate ourselves to
create a better and more
accepting
society
for
everyone.
Yes, the world is
a harsh place, and in
life you don’t always
receive what you want. I
genuinely do not believe
that millennials expect
the world to be served
to them on a silver
platter, but asking to be
understood and accepted
should not be criticized.
Millennials want the world
to be more empathetic
and compassionate.

O
Editor’s Word
A stigma of detest and
abhorrence has rooted itself in
the core of the political sphere.
Everyone has failed to see
what’s right in front of them;
not only are a bulk of people
incorrect and misinformed
nowadays, but they are
aimlessly and inappropriately
disputing any opposing side for
the sole principle of winning
a debate--without firmly
and accurately standing up
for their so-called idealism.
The focus has shifted from a
fixated belief, to a selfish desire
for power and gain. Whether
a liberal, conservative,
independent or affiliate to
another ideal, there has been
a shroud covering any political
atmosphere.
As student journalists
who take pride in our
integrity, especially at
this stage in our career,
this notion is completely
disheartening. We cannot
conduct thorough research
and investigations without
accusations of shattering
ethics, or being labeled “fake
news.” The problem lies
not with journalists. While
there are inevitably media
organizations who get clicks
and page views as a result
of deliberately unscrupulous
“news,” the integral and
crucial facets of the media that
correctly executes their jobs
are under siege. The problem
isn’t us, it’s some politicians,
and those who thinks they are
a politician because others
have likened to their loud and
empty blanketed statements.

Angela Merkel: How a woman defines a country
Kaitlin Hahn
Journal Contributor
Arguably
the
new
Leader
of
the
Free
World, the first female
chancellor of Germany
and the De Facto Leader
of the European Union,
Angela Merkel holds all
of these titles in her third
term. It seems that this
once soft-spoken leader
has persisted through
with strong leadership
to please both liberals
and
conservatives
in
becoming a champion of
human rights for all.
The Leader of the
Free World is usually
given to the President of
the United States, but to
many on social media,
the title now belongs
to the Chancellor of
Germany, according to
the Washington Post.
This title has been named
as she has decided to run
for a fourth term next
year. Merkel was former
President Barack Obama’s
last phone call while in
office, which is being
championed as a passing
of the baton.
“That’s a matter for
the
German
people,
but I value Angela’s
leadership,” said former
President Barack Obama
in a speech in Berlin. “If
I were German and I had
a vote, I might support
her.” Based on the current
political arena, it could be
argued that Merkel and
her strength as a leader
not only of Germany but
of Europe as acting leader
of the Free World, would
do very well in a fourth
term as the Chancellor of
Germany.
Confined behind the
iron curtain until age 35,
Merkel grew up in a rural
area north of Berlin. After
the fall of the Berlin wall,
she joined the Christian
Democratic Union (CDU),
eventually appointed as
Minister of Women and
Youth. Merkel was chosen
to lead the CDU over her
mentor Helmut Kohl in
2000. When she went on
to win Chancellor in 2005
as the first woman to do
so, it proved she is what
Germany wanted and
“
Based on the
current political
arena, it could
be argued that

strength as a
leader not only
of Germany but
of Europe as
acting leader of
the Free World,
would do very
well in a fourth
term as the
Chancellor of
Germany.
needed for a leader.
“Even when she was
awkward and shy, you
could feel her energy,
you could feel her power,
from
the
beginning,”
Herlinde Koelbl, arguably
Germany’s most acclaimed
photographer, said about
recognizing
Merkel’s
strength in 1991 when
he started photographing
her among other up-andcoming politicians, told
Time Magazine in their
article about Merkel as
their Person of the Year
for 2015.
Merkel is known for
her slow but precise way
of coming to decisions.
This was shown during
the possible collapse of
the European economy as
a result of the bankruptcy
of Greece. Correlated
with the refugee crisis,
she was able to lead not
only Germany, but all of
Europe. This solidifies her
position as the de facto
leader of the European
Union (EU).
In
2009,
Greece
announced it lied about
its finances for years,
was immediately shut
out
from
borrowing
from any market.
In
response, Merkel, taking
lead of the EU, made
Germany
the
biggest
lender of rescue funds to
Greece. However, Merkel
imposed strict conditions,
including new reforms
on taxes, pensions, and
the labor market. While
this was a struggling
story for Greece, these
actions by Merkel helped
save the EU from falling
into complete economic
instability.
By the end of 2015,
Germany had taken in
close to 890,000 refugees
who were fleeing to
Europe in order to find
security
and
stability
from their nations. This
dramatic influx of people
caused a shock that shook
not only Germany but
the entire EU to its core.
At the head of this stood
Merkel, where she proved
her strength as a leader
when she challenged the
politics of her own party
in favor of the moral
reasoning by declaring
Germany be a welcoming
country, open to refugees.
Even though Merkel
received backlash from
her decision to open up
Germany, in retrospect,
she
apologized,
but
not for opening up the
borders. “If I was able to,
I would turn back time by
many, many years, so that
I could have prepared
the whole government
and the authorities for
the situation which hit
us out of the blue in the
late summer of 2015,”
said Merkel in a press
conference on Sept. 18
addressed her refugee
policies. This showed
Merkel is strong enough
as a leader to stand by
her choices, and deal with
the consequences, despite
criticism from others.
Despite her popularity
rates fluctuating due to
both the financial crisis
in Greece and the refugee
crisis, Merkel has been
able to keep a steady
positive presence in the
political arena through
her moral leadership and
overall powerful mindset,
proving her to be a strong
political leader.

Rams set to make a racket

Pictured: Second-year men’s tennis captain Francesco Saia
Brooke Patterson
Asst. Sports Editor
After
missing
out
on
the
post-season
tournament in 2016, the
men’s tennis team looks to
make a return appearance
to the Great Northeast
Athletic
Conference
(GNAC) tournament this
time around, opening
their season Thursday
against the University
of Massachusetts Boston
at 6:30 p.m. The Rams
hope to go as far as the
championship, which has
not been done since their
2014 season.
The men’s tennis team
was selected third in the
GNAC North Division
preseason poll by the
league’s head coaches
and look to have a strong
season on the court.
“We are going to make
a full effort this year to
win the championship and
bring it back to what it
used to be,” said secondyear captain Francesco
Saia in an interview with
The Suffolk Journal on
Tuesday afternoon.
The team finished last
season with an overall
record of 3-9. The three
teams the Rams were
able to outscore were
Wheelock College, Rhode
Island College, and Curry
College and all three
appear on their schedule
this season.
“We had a lot of new
players last year and it was
a development season for
us,” said sophomore Rami
Esrawi in an interview
with The Journal on
Monday. “We are looking
to build off of that this
year and hopefully make
it to the championship.”
The initial scheduled
start date for the Rams
first match was March
23, but due to inclement
weather,
the
season
opener was postponed
to an unannounced date.
Although the matches
were anticipated to start
recently, the team has
been practicing for about
a month, focusing on
their game mechanics
as well as setting aside
15 to 30 minutes of
each practice to work on
mental conditioning.
“Tennis is really a
mental game,” said the
business
management
major, Esrawi. “I think it’s
a big part. If you miss a
couple shots, don’t worry
about it. You just have
to play your form, play
your style, and you’ll win
matches.”
Senior finance major,
Saia said he is sad that
it is his final season on
the team, and it will be
especially tough this year,
because he will compete
this season without the
coach who had stood by
him during his past three
years at Suffolk University,
Steve
Counihan.
The
Rams obtained an interim
head coach in place of
Counihan--Isaac Stahl.
Stahl did not respond
to communication with
The Journal regarding
this article as of late
Tuesday night.
“I think we can go far,”
said Esrawi. “We want to
win it for our head coach
[Counihan] this year.”
While
improving
everyday and hoping to
S
come out on top of their
conference, the Rams
have the expectation to
win the championship this
season. They also hope to
win their most difficult
matches against Johnson
& Wales University and
Norwich University.
“Basically we work
that it’s one match and
one practice at a time,”
said Saia. “If you got off
the court knowing that
you did better than the
last day then you did
your job, and you did it
correctly.”
With
noticeable
improvements from last
season, Esrawi said how
everybody on the team
gets better every single
day and is dedicated and
committed to the team.
“We want to improve
every single day, that
way when we have our
first match and especially
have our first conference
match, we really show
who we are,” said Saia.

Bruins fundraise $101k to fight pediatric cancer
Skylar To
Sports Editor
With six games left in
the regular season, the
Boston Bruins are still
looking to secure their
spot in the playoffs, but
they will be doing so with
a lot less hockey hair-- the
flow.
On
late
Monday
afternoon, the Bruins
and 98.5 The Sport’s Hub
hosted its 10th Annual
Cuts for a Cause to raise
money to fight pediatric
cancer at the House of
Blues in Boston. The
Bruins partnered with
Super Cuts to grant fans
the opportunity to bid
and shave the heads of
their favorite players. The
players, winning bidders
and fans helped to raise
$101,000 by the end of
the night for more than
$700,000 raised within
the decade. The event’s
proceeds were donated
to the Boston Bruins
Foundation and Floating
Hospital for Children at
Tufts Medical Center.
On the behalf of the
organization,
Executive
Director of the Boston
Bruins
Foundation
Bob Sweeney said the
Bruins staff owe a “great
gratitude to all of the
players.”
“It’s hard to believe
it’s been 10 years,” said
Sweeney. “I honestly want
to thank everyone for all
of their time and effort.
It really shows their
dedication.”
Nine years ago, forward
Patrice Bergeron wanted
to participate in the first
year the event kicked off
and shave his hair for a
“good cause.” The event
was led by former Bruins
defenseman Aaron Ward
for two years and former
Bruins forward Shawn
Thornton
who
took
over for several years
before he was traded.
On taking over the event
and keeping the annual
tradition
running
for
the third year, Bergeron
said that “it is amazing
to participate and give
back.”
“It’s been a great
response from fans to get
involved,” said Bergeron.
“[The event] is easy for us
to do and it goes a long
way to raise awareness.”
Bergeron and 98.5 The
Sports Hub shared that
the event started in the
basement of the sports
radio station and evolved
to bigger venues like the
Boston Park Plaza Hotel
and the Westin Boston

May 2016, shaved Boston Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron’s
head at the 10th Annual Cuts for a Cause.
Waterfront Hotel over
the years to the House
of Blues this year, which
is “the best venue” they
have had. In its first year,
the event raised $25,000.
Since 2014, the event
has raised more than
$100,000 every year.
Sweeney
thanked
Ward,
Thornton
and
Bergeron
for
their
participation in “such a
great cause.”
“Without the players,
this could not be possible,”
said Sweeney.
Bruins
defenseman
Torey Krug found himself
in a similar situation to
Bergeron in his rookie
year several years ago. In
his rookie year, Krug said
that he signed a contract
with the Bruins right
before the event. Besides
participating in the event
to become a part of the
team, Krug joked that
he wanted Thornton’s
protection on the ice.
On his experience and
participation every year,
forward David Krejci said
that he has seen “every
single side” of the event-from shaving the heads of
fans to donating money
to getting his own head
shaved.
Forward Riley Nash,
who was acquired by
the Bruins last summer,
said the event is “pretty
awesome” and “pretty
cool to see.”
Besides chopping off
hair for a good cause,
talks about the playoffs
also surfaced at the event.
Nash, who played for the
Carolina Hurricanes for
four years prior to being
traded to Boston, said
competing to make the
playoffs has “been an
adjustment for sure” as
he did not see a playoff
scenario in his time in
Carolina.
“Being in Boston and
seeing how passionate
fans are about hockey,
you want to [make the
playoffs],” said Nash.

Rams welcome 70th season, continues program success
Brooke Patterson / Asst. Sports Editor
From left to right: Head Baseball Coach Anthony Del Prete, pitcher Mark Fusco, first baseman Kevin Belskie and pitcher Chuck Gibson.
Hannah Arroyo
Journal Staff
For
many
college
athletes,
their
involvement sports stops
right after graduation
day. This was not the case
for Suffolk University’s
current Head Baseball
Coach Anthony Del Prete.
Del Prete started out as
a student athlete for the
baseball team at Suffolk
where he pitched four
seasons with the Rams.
As a player, Del Prete
had
a
21-11
record
and in 2002, he helped
bring his team to the
National
Collegiate
Athletic
Association
tournament.
He
was
named the conference
Pitcher of the Year.
After graduating in
2004, Del Prete spent
three
years
playing
professionally
in
the
Frontier
League
for
the Evansville Otters.
Del Prete was named
assistant coach on the
Rams in 2004. In 2008, he
also served as the Sports
Information Director for
Suffolk where he oversaw
the athletic department
website and publicity.
“I enjoy watching the
players develop over the
course of their four-year
career and take great
pride in watching them
come in and then leave as
men,” said Del Prete in an
interview with The Suffolk
Journal on Friday. “It’s
a fun place to be given
the school’s location and
it’s an easy place to work
given the people who you
are surrounded by, both
students and professional
staff
members.”
This
2017
season,
the
Rams
celebrate
their 70th anniversary.
“I would say the
program has evolved with
the quality of student and
geographic expansion of
our roster,” said Del Prete.
“A lot has to do with how
Suffolk University has
grown as an institution
from being a regional
inner city school to be
a nationally recognized
school. This has helped
our recruiting efforts
and also added depth and
quality to our roster.”
Suffolk
attempted
to organize a baseball
program as early as
1937 where the team
held practices in the
Boston Common. Shortly
after,
the
program
was
discontinued
due to World War II.
A more official club
team was set in place
in the spring of 1947 by
former Athletic Director
Charles Law. He tried
to revamp sports at
Suffolk and put in place
basketball, hockey, golf
and
soccer
programs
too. Law himself coached
the baseball, golf and
basketball
teams.
“When he came to
Suffolk
[Law]
really
was the individual who
created
sports,”
said
former Suffolk Athletic
Director James Nelson
in an interview with
The Journal on Monday.
The program gained
much attention as over 70
students came to try out
for a chance to play. These
numbers would continue
to rise as the next year
nearly 92 students tried
out for the team. Law
was the first to coach
the team and organized
a twelve-game schedule
that included matches
against Tufts University
and
Clark
University.
As Suffolk had not
yet been given the Ram
as an official mascot,
they were referred to as
the “Royals” for their
royal blue school color.
Nelson
explained
how he had seen the
baseball program evolve
since
he
started
as
the
athletic
director.
“Now
that
we’re
members of the GNAC, all
of the baseball and softball
teams are doubleheaders
for conference games,”
said
Nelson.
“That
certainly
has
been
significant playing those
number
of
games.”
Jay Parker, current
head
coach
of
the
Women’s
Golf
team,
previously spent 19 years
as the assistant coach
of the baseball team.
Parker said in an
interview
with
The
Journal on Wednesday
that starting in 1999,
the team was often
referred to as the “Mutts”
when he was coaching.
“When fields were
available we would just
show up and practice,”
said
Parker.
“Since
[McConnell] has taken
over the programs have
increased and the facilities
have increased. Things in
the past few years have
just been outstanding”
With the addition of
East Boston Memorial
Park in 2015, Suffolk
finally
had
a
field
to
call
their
home.
In Suffolk Baseball
history,
the
program
has had only six head
coaches. These coaches
include
Law,
George
Doucet, Tom Walsh, Joe
Walsh, McConnell and
Del Prete, who heads into
his third season coaching
the team this year.
So far as a head coach
Del Prete has helped his
team achieve back-to-back
GNAC
Championships
in the past two seasons.
In the 2016 season
his team recorded an
overall record of 3313, which is the second
best in program history.
“Our players are not
afraid to be pushed and
challenge
themselves,”
said Del Prete, “I believe
the strength of what
we have been able to
accomplish is a direct
result of the maturity
of our players and their
ability to grow and
develop their character
throughout the course
of their four year career
from when they start
here as freshman to when
they finally earn their
degree after four years.”
McConnell leads the
baseball program with
an overall best of 38
victories in a season that
his team successfully won
in 2000. All the team’s
former
coaches
have
winning records, but so
far McConnell has taken
home the most victories
for a coach in the
program with 479 wins.
“The
consistency
in the coaching staff
reiterates to consistency
on the field as well,” said
Parker. “We’re all on the
same page all the time.”
Senior pitcher and
captain Chuck Gibson
said in an interview with
The Journal on Friday
that he sees continued
success from his team
each season. He said
that because of this a
lot of talented young
players
have
decided
to come to Suffolk.
“There has been a
culture here to expect
to win and to dedicate
ourselves to this game
and our teammates,” said
Gibson. “That culture is
passed down class by class
and is still going strong.
I feel like it is my duty
before I graduate [this
May] to instill that culture
in the underclassmen.”
Today, Suffolk leads
the GNAC Conference
with 975 overall wins,
208 GNAC wins, 68
GNAC playoff games and
48 GNAC playoff wins.
Senior
and
first
baseman Kevin Belskie
said in an interview with
The Journal on Friday
that the Suffolk baseball
program is trying to
become known nationally.
“The history of the
program is that hard work
breeds success. Previous
teams have paved the
way for us to be where
we are,” said Belskie.
“Weathering the ups and
downs of the season and
staying even-keel will put
us on top at the end of it.”
Junior and pitcher
Mark Fusco said in
an interview with The
Journal Thursday that
the upperclassmen on his
team have taught him that
it’s a privilege to wear
the Suffolk jersey. He
said that he sees nothing
but success for this
program in the future.
“With
[Del
Prete]
this team has endless
opportunities
for
success,”
said
Fusco.
“After being named head
coach two years ago you
could tell that Coach Del
Prete has been involved
with the game of baseball
his whole life and it is
something he loves to do.”

By Nathan Espinal,
Journal Staff
ith Black Her/History Month over, and
with the Trump administration’s highly
scrutinized actions on immigration and transgender
rights affecting the nation, the Suffolk community
has been intent on keeping the spotlight on diversity
and moving forward to ensure the university is an
inclusive and welcome place.
This, however has been a tumultuous process for
the university. Impactful actions that could be taken
were once the responsibility of former Chief Diversity
Inclusion Officer Nicole Price. Price was appointed
this position in the fall semester of 2014, and within
a year resigned. It was when the administration
decided to restructure, which included relocating
classes and the repositioning of faculty, that Price
noticed the new direction and parted ways with
Suffolk.
Fulfilling her duties in this position proved
difficult, and Price in a recent phone interview with
The Suffolk Journal spoke of how the change in
leadership between three different presidents caused
a strain on her ability to do work at the university.
“I wanted to make diversity inclusion a normal
part of leadership at Suffolk,” said Price. “There’s
never been a constant person to affect policy or
admission. There hasn’t been someone to have a
lasting impact on the university so that if they did
something for diversity and they left, the university
wouldn’t have to start from scratch again.”
As to why the position has yet to be filled, Greg
Gatlin, the spokesman for the University, released an
official statement to The Suffolk Journal on Tuesday
night.
“The University’s former Chief Diversity Officer
resigned in December 2015,” said the statement.
“The university is awaiting final results of a climate
survey, as well as a recommendation from the
Diversity Task Force to determine its approach to
filling the Chief Diversity Officer position or similar
role in the future. Those Task Force recommendations
are due in April.”
Frank Cooper as senior adviser, guided the
Diversity Task Force, which was created in February
of 2016, to generate changes in hiring practices
and provide professional development training
for administrators, faculty, students and staff on
important matters regarding identity at Suffolk. He
also began the creation of the “Diversity Climate
Survey,” which aims to give a baseline of the
negative and positive feelings among the community
at Suffolk. Cooper stepped down in the fall semester
of 2016 to take some time off from instructing at
the law school, and Communication and Journalism
Associate Professor Micky Lee became chair of the
Task Force.
The Task Force has a subcommittee dedicated
to drafting a proposal to find a new Chief Diversity
Inclusion Officer. One of the members on this
subcommittee is Director of the Office of Diversity
Services (ODS) Lizette Rivera. They are currently
drafting a proposal to present to Lee, and if approved,
Lee will bring this proposal to Acting President
Marisa Kelly and the Board of Trustees.
“It’s up to the president and Board of Trustees
to decide what they want to do,” said Rivera in
an interview with The Suffolk Journal. “They may
decide to wait until there is a new president and
from there, a committee will form to make decisions
on the next Chief Diversity Officer.”
While this proposal was drafted, the results of
the survey were being analyzed by the entirety of
the Task Force. Junior business major and Vice
Presidential candidate in the Student Government
Association race, Levi Smith, is also a member of
the Task Force. In an interview with The Journal
Wednesday evening, Smith spoke about how he
believes the Task Force is doing important work
on the issues of diversity that face the Suffolk
community at large.
“There were staff and faculty members who felt
invalidated because of their identities,” said Smith
on the results of the survey. “For the students,
it’s the opposite. They feel the negativity from the
professors and their peers.”
This negative student sentiment was not only from
professors but was extended from administration as
well. Senior government major and Liaison Officer
for Rainbow Alliance, Sabrina Young, in a recent
interview with The Journal, spoke of how the actions
taken by administration to support diversity and
inclusivity are ineffective. Acting President Marisa

Campus forum lectures
inclusivity during
Trump’s immigration
crack-down

Alexa Gagosz
Editor-in-Chief
Few seats were left
open on Thursday when
students,
faculty
and
staff from the different
divisions
of
Suffolk
University
gathered
on the second floor of
Sargent Hall for a campus
forum
on
President
Donald Trump’s Executive
Order.
Following a bitter few
weeks of rolling news
segments on the recent
travel ban for seven
predominantly
Muslim
nations,
some
within
Suffolk’s
international
community live in fear of
their rights as a student
being
revoked.
The
campus forum, called
on by Acting Provost
Sebastian Royo, a member
of
Suffolk’s
global
community himself, said
that in the 26 years he has
been living in the United
States, this was the first
time he has felt on edge.
“This is the first time
since I’ve moved here that
I’ve felt uncomfortable,
where my accent has
made me self concious,”
said Royo, who was
born in Spain during a
dictatorship.
Royo, who said that
he had come to the U.S.
and was only suppose to
remain in the states for
a few years as a student,
explained “life happens”
and it’s why he could
stand in front of a crowd
of students as one of their
leaders.
In
a
panel-style
lecture, Senior Director
of the Division of Student
Success Kathy Sparaco,
Director of Counseling,
Health and Wellness Jean
Joyce-Brady and Clinical
professor of Law Ragini
Shaw sat at the bowl of the
lecture hall and each gave
a mini synopsis of what
the travel bans Trump
has enacted and how
they will affect students
at the university. Acting
President Marisa Kelly
was not in attendance
due to a fundraising trip,
according to Royo, but
“fully
supported”
the
forum and the backing
the university has offered
to students and staff.
Royo, who introduced
each of the panelists,
Haley Clegg/ Photo Editor
Acting Provost
Sebastian Royo
said the event was a
direct reflect of Suffolk’s
founding of acceptance
and opportunity. Royo
cited Suffolk’s founder
Gleason Archer who gave
access to Law School
to minorities in an age
where only a certain type
of person-- white, middle
to upper class male -was able to receive an
education.
“It is critical, as
a
higher
education
institution, to not turn a
blind eye,” said Royo in
response to how some
international
students
may be affected by the
travel ban and whether
they will be able to leave
the country in fear of
possibly not being able to
return. “This goes much
farther than politics, this
is about values.”
Joyce-Brady,
who
discussed the “stress” in
Americans that was cited
in a recent report by the
American
Psychological
Association,
published
this past January, that
the anxiety of the future
of the country continues
to rise among citizens on
both sides of the political
spectrum.
The original travel ban
executive order by Trump
had impacted populations
of Americans with a
loss of trust with the
federal government and
hypervigilance, according
to Joyce-Brady.
Shah, however, broke
down the legalities to the
executive orders, even
while they are strung
up in court alongside
Sparaco, who pointed
out that international
students were crucial at
American
universities
for both consumer and
perspective reasonings.
The
question
and
answer section of the
forum had lasted only 10
minutes before the event
had come to a close.

Stabbing in Boston Common, injuries non-fatal
Alexa Gagosz
Editor-in-Chief
One man was stabbed
in the Boston Common
on Monday night, police
said.
The
man,
who
remained unnamed as
of Tuesday night, was
stabbed
around
6:40
p.m. on Monday close
to 139 Tremont St.,
according
to
Boston
Police. A witness told a
reporter on Tuesday that
the physical altercation
between the two people
had progressed from a
verbal fight.
The
victim
was
rushed to Tufts Medical
Center with injuries not
considered to be lifethreatening.
Suffolk
University
student
and
Journal
Opinion Editor Patrick
Holmes was walking by
the scene of the crime,
which was taped off by
Boston police officers who
were lingering around the
area. News stations were
parked in the Common on
Monday night after the
incident.
Suffolk’s
Police
Department (SUPD) did
not send a service alert,
or “timely warning,” to
the Suffolk community
on the stabbing. SUPD
said
the
department
was not aware of the
crime on Tuesday night
and it was placed under
investigation.
SUPD
refused
to
comment
further.
In order to receive this
alert, which is determined
by the Chief of SUPD
and/or the Emergency
Manager,
the
crime
must be serious or be
a continuing threat to
students and employees,
according
to
the
university spokesperson.
“Regarding
the
incident last night in the
Boston Common, Boston
Police had secured the
scene and had a suspect
in
custody,
therefore
SUPD determined that
there was no serious or
continuing threat to the
campus
community,”
said
the
university
spokesperson on Tuesday.

he realized this was not

Botalvi said that this

“If anyone is making this

SGA President Sean
Walsh currently runs the

Walsh clarified the rules

Walsh of the campaign.

Kelly stands behind transgender student rights, some critique motives
3 MARCH 1, 2017
Alexa Gagosz
Editor-in-Chief
Acting
President
Marisa Kelly announced
in a letter to the members
of the Suffolk community
in an email on Friday
afternoon that she and
the rest of the university
will continue to support
of the bathroom bill to
ensure that transgender
students have a choice,
despite
the
recent
withdraw from the bill on
the federal level.
On
Wednesday,
President Donald Trump’s
administration withdrew
from former President
Barack Obama’s directive
for schools to treat their
students in accordance
with the gender they
THESUFFOLKJOURNAL.COM
SUFFOLKNEWS@GMAIL.COM
identify with instead of
the gender that is listed
on their birth certificate.
“While
I
am
disappointed with the
decision to roll the
directive back, please be
assured that the federal
change will have no direct
effect on students here
at Suffolk, nor should it
affect students while in
Massachusetts,”
wrote
Kelly in the email.
In
addition
to
Kelly’s message, Suffolk
has
gender-inclusive
restrooms in most of the
buildings where some
students do not have
to choose between the
“male”
and
“woman”
specific
restrooms.
According to the Office
of
Diversity
Services,
they were created in
order to eliminate any
violence or harassment
that some individuals
may experience if they go
into the so-called “wrong”
restroom.
Jameszie Helenski, a
class of 2015 graduate of
the New England School
of Art & Design and a
person who continued
their close relationship
with the art school as
the workshop manager
for the woodshop, said in
an interview on Monday
night this act by Trump
was not a surprise.
“The
thing
that
upsets me the most in
all of this nonsense,
is that most articles I
have been reading from
media outlets and folk’s
reactions to the decision
is that people are making
it sound as if it were ever
safe to be trans at school,
at work, or anywhere
else for that matter,” said
Helenski. “We have always
been under attack, and
not just in bathrooms.”
Four buildings that
are owned by Suffolk do
not have gender-inclusive
restrooms according to
the university’s website:
Modern
Theatre,
150
Tremont St., 73 Tremont
St. and One Beacon St.
“We are a diverse
University,
and
that
diversity is our strength,”
wrote Kelly. “We take
pride
in
being
an
exceptionally
inclusive
community, and we are
committed to ensuring
that
every
student,
faculty, and staff member
feels welcome at Suffolk.”
Despite some members
of the Suffolk community
rallying around Kelly in
support of her efforts,
other
students
and
employees question the
efforts made by Kelly and
upper administration.
For
Helenski,
Kelly’s message to the
community
did
not
have their approval just
yet, and said that the
administration still has
more to improve on.
“As someone who has
been a part of Suffolk as
both a student and an
employee, I can decidedly
say that there is very
little effort, on the part
of the administration,
to
be
‘exceptionally’
inclusive and mindful
of the realities of trans
students and employees,”
said Helenski.
Helenski
said
the
gender
neutral
bathrooms on campus
were established because
of queer students and
their allies that fought
for them, not by the
administration.
“As
much
as
I
appreciated
my
time
as a student, and enjoy
working here, I find it
hard to share President
Kelly’s sentiment about
our
university
when
my experience, as well
as those of a multitude
of other students, has
proven otherwise,” said
Helenski.
bulk of it, but financially
we can’t pay for anything
else for Black Her/History
Month,’” said Rivera, who
added that BSU agreed to
this and paid for other
events for the rest of the
month with their own
budget.
Some sources said the
work that can be done by
student affinity groups is
also limited because they
are now housed under
the Student Leadership
and Involvement office
(SLI), a change made
during the restructuring
of the school a few years
ago. Assistant Director
of the ODS Cameron
Breither and Rivera both
expressed their wish to
see the affinity groups
under their leadership
once again.
“I would love to see
them under our roof
again, even if it’s through
a
more
intentional
partnership
with
SLI,
because right now they’re
housed under SLI. From
what I understand before
our space was configured
differently, the groups all
had their own computer
terminals
and
that’s
something they can still
do here, so I would love
to work with SLI and see
what can be done,” said
Breither in an interview
with The Suffolk Journal.
According to Gatlin, the
university is committed
to ensuring all students,
faculty and staff feel
welcome and empowered,
which is exactly the kind
of work the ODS, the
Task Force and student
affinity groups have been
doing this past year.
However, Young, along
with others, make clear
that this is not enough
for students and upper
administration
should
push to support queer
students and students
of color more. Young
expressed the urgency of
taking immediate action
to
support
students
of
all
marginalized
communities because the
issues they are facing are
happening right now, not
later.
Efforts on diversity at Suffolk shows progress with long road ahead

Kelly’s statement sent out
Friday afternoon, which
addressed the repeal of
former President Barack
Obama’s executive order
that protected the rights
of transgender students
across the nation, was,
according to Young, the
administration’s way of
“washing their hands of
the situation.” Young
said the statement does
nothing to outline the
university’s
plan
to
actively
protect
their
students’ rights identified
under Title IX.
“I
think
the
administration has the
capability of doing better
than it is right now and
just seems unwilling to.
As someone coming from
multiple
marginalized
backgrounds,
this
is
unacceptable,”
said
Young. “They need to take
responsibility, rather than
just saying it’ll be okay.”
The task of ensuring
that
marginalized
in the different schools
of the university has
become an expectation
of the ODS. Students and
staff across the university
might turn to the ODS
to influence change in
policies
surrounding
diversity-- even when
they are not in a position
to do so.
“Our office falls under
the Office of Student
Affairs and our main focus
is the undergraduates. We
can work with the grad
school and law school but
only to a limited degree.
We do educational, social
justice
and
diversity
training,” said Rivera.
“We are not in a position
to say this is policy, we
are brought into the
conversation
regarding
diversity in policies. We
have no influence in
the curriculum or how
diverse the curriculum
is.”
The ODS and student
affinity groups have had
influence in the changes
at Suffolk, but only
to conversations about
what to do in response
to an event. Those with
administrative power are
the only ones who have
the capability to create
policy that protects the
students. Any step taken
by the Office toward
inclusivity is strongly
tied with their budget,
while student groups are
limited by their ability
to communicate with the
Deans.
For specific reasons,
the ODC combines their
budget
with
affinity
groups, who receive their
budgets from SGA, to
ensure programming and
professional development
is free of cost to students.
The Office sends students
and staff to “Creating
Change,” a conference
promoting the forward
progress of the LGBTQ+
community and allies,
and
the
National
Conference of Race and
Ethnicity in American
Higher Education, which
provides a multicultural
for
students
of
various
ethnicities
from a variety of higher
education institutions.
“For
the
heritage
months, I put in equal
amount of money for each
month to make sure there
is equity,” said Rivera.
The ODS hopes to
build relationships with
student groups so they
try to co-sponsor events.
In October when Latina/
Latino Heritage Month
crossed
with
LGBT
History
month,
they
decided to look for a
someone who could speak
on intersectional matters.
They worked with student
groups to secure Eliel
Cruz to speak of his
experience as a bisexual,
Christian man of color.
The ODS also worked in
tandem with the Black
Student Union to secure
Shaun King to be the
keynote speaker for Black
Her/History Month.
“[Shaun King] was
almost eight thousand
dollars and I had to say ‘if
we do this we can pay the

Vice Presidential candidates ready for election, future of Suffolk
Suffolk University has manifested a diverse and politically adapt population of students, some of which
have been eager to create and enact change within the university. Suffolk’s Student Government Association
(SGA) will be welcoming a new Vice President for the 2017-2018 academic year; three candidates have
emerged, each with a unique outlook and direction they wish to help steer the university in if elected.

Botalvi wants SGA action to
push Suffolk to the top
Coast Guard vet looks to
get feet wet in politics
Smith’s agenda seeks
to strengthen Suffolk
Suffolk’s Student Government Association
(SGA) will be welcoming a new Vice President
for the 2017-2018 academic year; a position
SGA senator Yasir Botalvi hopes to attain.
“We have so much promise and so much
potential,” said Botalvi. “Suffolk can truly be
a world-class institution - we can really be
one of the Americas great schools because
here we are in the heart of this amazing city”
With Suffolk being located in downtown
Boston, Botalvi said one of the priorities he
intends to tackle if elected SGA Vice President
is the lack of campus cohesion. A lack of
structure Botalvi said hampers the entirety
of Suffolk’s community to intertwine,
and while he said
certain organizations
and
individuals
“Suffolk can on campus are
producing

truly be a
work, this is not
enough. He has been
world-class
working to launch
institution.”
a Suffolk University
mobile
app,
and
currently
has
a
working
prototype
developed, which he
said is intended to be a “one stop shop.”
In order to engage in repairing campus
cohesion, Botalvi intends to initiate a
“Welcome Week” at the onset of the
academic year. Incoming students are
brought into the university community at
orientation but then are without any contact
with Suffolk for the summer, a problem
Botalvi said needs to be addressed. With
his proposed “Welcome Week,” Botalvi said
students would participate in a number of
both educational and entertaining activities
and sessions for the first week of school in
order to establish relationships and acclimate
to the community at Suffolk.
“It is the cards were dealt,” said Botalvi. “I
mean Suffolk University is an urban campus.
It’s in the heart of a metropolis. That’s part of
the problem and that’s where the challenges
lie. We have got to pull out a good hand out
of that deck of cards.”
As an international student from Canada
with Pakistani heritage, Botalvi discussed
the time he has spent so far within SGA,
and spoke of conversations he has had with
members of the administration on the subject
of prospective international students. The
vice presidential candidate said that Suffolk
needs to have concrete evidence to provide
to prospective international students and
their parents that they are welcomed within
a conducive environment. Botalvi said that
SGA can play a role in this, but needs to get
off its back foot by passing real legislation.
He said action is a forefront on his mind, so
that SGA can be the force he believes the
organization can be in enacting change for
the students.
“I think SGA has played a fantastic
role,” said Botalvi. “With [President Donald
Trump’s immigration] executive action that
came out - I think [SGA President] Sean
Walsh’s letter was on point. I think so was
[Acting University] President Kelly’s. So what
I really believe is what we’ve actually got to
do now is start working together on actual
actionable items.”
Student Government Association (SGA)
Senator-at-Large for commuter students
and Vice Presidential candidate Matt Wood
found his way to Suffolk in a non-traditional
fashion. Having served four years in the
Coast Guard and taking time off from school
to gain experience in the workforce, Wood
has his sights set on the position of vice
president for SGA’s executive board.
“I have a bunch of life experience - I’m
older than most of the people here,” said
Wood in a recent interview with The Suffolk
Journal. “Older doesn’t always win, but with
that comes experience. I’ve been able to see
different situations, and see what works and
what doesn’t work.”
Wood intends for one of his primary focal
points if elected SGA Vice President to center
around campus security. The criminal justice
major said that Suffolk’s campus safety is
not lacking, but mentioned the frequent
robberies that occur in the Citizens Bank
located in the 73 Tremont St. Wood said
there are valuable resources in place, such
as on-demand police service and phone apps
that assist students to maintain their safety.
“I don’t think that the communication of
those tools is really available,” said Wood.
“There’s a bunch of students that don’t
know. They don’t know where things have
moved in the building, and I think that
communication from the faculty to students
needs to be better.”
Wood spoke of the procedures and
processes that have been put for in order to
increase campus safety, such as the check-in
points in 73 Tremont. He said this is an issue
he has been working
on as the situation
has created a fire
hazard as clusters of
students enter.
C a m p u s
divisiveness
is
another concern of
Wood that he said
he plans to dedicate
time to if elected SGA
Vice President. Wood
talked
about
this
issue, and said that
he wants to make
sure each and every person feels like they
have a voice and a home at Suffolk.
“As the country will continue to be more
and more divisive here the only way we can
get through it in the only way we can be
productive is to work together,” said Wood
He said that with the constant cycle of
students entering and exiting the university,
it is important to keep in mind the errors
that the university has made on any number
of issues in order to structure the future of
Suffolk in a more effective fashion. Wood
also said that students need to ask more of
their university.
“I think all too often people that go to
college forget they are the customer and the
education is the product,” said Wood. They
feel that they have to but they can’t demand
certain things of the institution - which you
can, and obviously you have to do your part.
But as a student there’s certain overreaching
things like that where you have to demand
better.”
As a Student Government Association
(SGA) senator and member of the diversity
committee, Levi Smith’s campaign for the
position of Vice President has been based on
a platform of embracing diversity.
In an interview with
The Suffolk Journal,
Smith spoke of how
running for SGA Vice
President is based
around four specific
platform;
diversity
and
inclusion,
reengineering
processes
within
SGA,
addressing
student engagement
and aligning values
within the Suffolk
community.
With
diversity the most
important aspect on his mind, Smith said he
has been working on a resolution revolved
around implicit bias training for faculty.
Smith referenced a scenario from the 2016
fall semester in which a Latina student
said she was accused of plagiarism; the
vice presidential candidate discussed that
implicit bias training would provide a level
of accountability and prevent a similar
situation from happening again.
“You’re a Suffolk student, you’re a Ram at
the end of the day,” said Smith.
Smith said releasing content at optimal
times on social media is one way to promote
SGA in order to express to students that
there is an organization on campus in place
to field their concerns. With students able to
utilize SGA and know that this organization
truly cares about them, Smith said this can
open up doors. In order to open the doors
up to students, Smith said that emphasizing
student clubs and organizations on campus
is a vital component.
“They’re like the circulatory system of
Suffolk. They’re the blood, they just make
Suffolk flow,” said Smith.
Smith said one of the most crucial aspects
of the role of vice president is gaining the
trust of the Suffolk students in order to
collaborate with those in need in order to
resolve problems. Not only does Smith believe
student groups need to be more involved in
the community, but administration needs to
as well.
“At the end of the day these initiatives
make Suffolk stronger,” said Smith. “And
with strength comes more attention and
marketing. And that’s important because
[Suffolk] growing.”
Personal success is not a factor in Smith’s
outlook, as he said collaborative success is
vital and he gives credit to the current SGA
executive board. He said he believes the
transition between executive board members
this year will be smooth, due to a strong
infrastructure that has been cemented within
the organization.
Alongside SGA, Smith said the university
is also heading in the right direction. Even
through recently publicized events portrayed
throughout various media sources, Smith’s
view of Suffolk as a whole has not swayed.
“I have never lost faith in suffolk, ever,”
said Smith.
“Older
doesn’t
always win,
but with
that comes
experience.”
“You’re a
Suffolk student,
you’re a
Ram at the
end of the day,”

Mayor Walsh speaks with multiple news sources after his speech at the Roxbury ISBCC.
Elvira Mora
Journal Staff
More than 300 people
gathered
at
Boston’s
largest mosque on Friday
to hear Mayor Martin
J. Walsh speak about
protecting
religious
diversity and immigration.
Boston’s Mayor said
that he called the press
conference because he was
“disturbed and angered”
by the news coming out
of Washington D.C.
“The White House
is advancing the most
destructive
and
unAmerican threats made
during the campaign,”
said Walsh to the crowd.
“The
latest
executive
orders and statements
by the president about
immigrants are a direct
attack on Boston’s people,
Boston’s strength, and
Boston’s values.”
The Roxbury Islamic
Society of Boston Cultural
Center (ISBCC) hosted
the mayor and his team
of city correspondents to
assure Boston residents
that
politics
at
the
nation’s capital will not
harm them.
Walsh
used
his
platform to offer a direct
message to anyone who
felt threatened by today’s
political climate.
“You are safe in
Boston,” he assured, as
the crowd immediately
responded with applause
and loud cheers.
“I will do everything
lawful in my power to
protect you,” said Walsh.
“If necessary, I will use
City Hall itself to shelter
and
protect
anyone
targeted unjustly. We will
not retreat one inch from
being the welcoming,
diverse, global community
that’s made us one of the
most successful cities in
the world,” said Walsh.
Walsh also said he will
continue to stand with
his decision that Boston
the mayor of the city of
Boston ... I was sworn
in to represent all of
the people of Boston.
That’s my responsibility
as the mayor. That’s a
responsibility I take very
seriously and that’s a
responsibility for as long
as I am blessed to be in
this role,” he continued.
Shortly after Trump
issued the executive order
that temporarily banned
citizens
from
seven
predominantly
Muslim
“If necessary, I will use City
Hall itself to shelter and protect
anyone targeted unjustly. We will
not retreat one inch from being
the welcoming, diverse, global
community that’s made us one of
the most successful cities
in the world.”

will remain a sanctuary
city; a statement which
he has adamantly backed
in the face of threats
by President Donald J.
Trump that the city will
lose federal funding.
“I’m not afraid of
losing money; first of
all, because we got the
constitution on our side
and secondly, we’re doing
the right thing in the city
of Boston,” said Walsh
followed by a round of
applause.
“I
get
passionate
because in January of
2014, I was sworn in as
countries entrance into
the United States, Walsh
issued
a
statement
that “He would not be
intimidated.”
The objective of the
citywide forum was to
direct communities that
were affected by the
recent executive orders
toward city resources that
answer questions and
express solidarity, while
gaining feedback from
immigrants and refugees.
On
Wednesday,
Walsh
denounced
Trump’s
executive
orders to target and get
rid of undocumented
immigrants and doubled
down on his offer to
house
undocumented
Bostonian immigrants in
City Hall.
“If people want to live
here, they’ll live here.
They can use my office.
They can use any office in
this building,’’ said Walsh.
This forum was not the
first time Walsh showed
support for immigrants
and refugees.
Mayor Walsh attended
a rally in Copley Square
on Jan. 29 in order to
support Muslims after
the president’s travel
ban was issued. He also
joined protesters at Logan
Airport.
Senior Imam Shaykh
Yasir
Fahmy
spoke
after Walsh and fondly
recalled seeing the mayor
at the airport protest.
He
commended
the
overwhelming
support
that Boston officials gave
to the community.
“The
outpouring
of support and love
and
comradery
and
brotherhood
and
sisterhood coming out
to stand in support,” said
Fahmy, “that is the spirit
that is thriving right
now and perhaps it is a
blessing in disguise with
all that is happening in
our political rhetoric.
We are melding into this
beautiful space called
America where it is a land
of immigrants, a land of
refugees and we always
want that to be the case.”
His
Holiness
Pope
Francis, leader of the
Roman Catholic Church,
has received increased
media attention in recent
months and the reason
has nothing to do with the
institution he is charged
with leading. It’s because
of President Donald J.
Trump.
The Pope’s involvement
in the 2016 presidential
election began a little
more than year ago with
a series of comments
directly attacking Trump’s
controversial plan to erect
a border wall along the
United States’ southern
border with Mexico.
“A person who only
thinks about building
walls,
wherever
they
may be, and not building
bridges, is not Christian,”
the Pope said in an
interview with multiple
news sources. Trump
immediately responded.
“For a religious leader
to question a person’s
faith
is
disgraceful,”
then-candidate
Trump
said at a rally in South
Carolina shortly after the
incident last February,
calling himself “a good
Christian.”
That same line of
criticism continued last
week when on Feb. 18
Pope Francis tweeted
a message calling on
Catholics to take in
immigrants and refugees.
“How often in the
Bible the Lord asks us to
welcome migrants and
foreigners,
reminding
us that we too are
foreigners!,”
said
the
tweet, sent from Pope
Francis’ official account.
Again on Feb. 22,
the Pontiff tweeted a
religious message that
many read as a criticism
of what has become
known colloquially as
“the wall.”
“Jesus entrusted to
Peter the keys to open the
entrance to the kingdom
of heaven, and not to
close it,” the Pontiff
tweeted.
But it was comments
that Pope Francis made
on Jan. 20, just as Donald
Trump was being sworn
in thousands of miles
away, that have raised a
few eyebrows.
In an interview with
Spanish newspaper El
Pais, the Pope was asked
about the rise of populism,
a political disposition
which focuses more on
the immediate concerns
of the people rather than
ideologies.
“In my opinion, the
most obvious example of
populism in the European
sense of the word is
Germany in 1933,” the
Pope said. “Hitler didn’t
steal power, his people
voted for him, and then
he destroyed his people.
That is the risk. In times
of crisis we lack judgment,
and that is a constant
reference for me.”
Despite
the
connotations
of
his
comments,
the
Pope
insists that he is taking
a ‘wait and see’ approach
with President Trump.
“I don’t like to get
ahead of myself, nor to
judge people prematurely.
We will see how he acts,
what he does, and then I
will form an opinion,” he
said.
“Being
afraid
or
rejoicing
beforehand
because of something that
might happen is, in my
view, quite unwise,” he
continued.
At Suffolk University,
the religious community
responded with unease.
“We as citizens of the
United States, and those
who identify as Roman
Catholic, need to really
examine the role of social
media in our lives,” said
Reverend Amy Fisher,
University Chaplain in an
interview with the Journal
Tuesday.
Papal
influence
in
international politics is
nothing new.
During a trip to the
Philippines
in
1981,
Pope Saint John Paul
II
explicitly
criticized
the country’s president
Ferdinand Marcos for his
human rights abuses in a
blistering speech.
Pope Pius XII, who
led the Church through
the Second World War
and Holocaust, directed
Catholic clergy to provide
covert assistance to Jews
living under Nazi rule.

Rothchild recounts grim scenes from Gaza

Brooke Patterson
Asst. Sports Editor
For more than half a
century, the people of
the small independent
Palestinian territory, Gaza,
have been constrained
to living under military
rule in an environment
that has been decimated
by missile attacks from
outside nations. Recently,
Gaza has been besieged
by Israeli assaults, forcing
its citizens to survive in
rubble and debris.
Dr. Alice Rothchild, an
obstetrician-gynecologist,
filmmaker and author
whose book “Condition
Critical: Life and Death
in Israel/Palestine,” was
released Feb. 1. Rothchild
has twice visited the
territory, a notoriously
difficult place to enter, on
humanitarian trips.
In
March
2015,
Rothchild
traveled
with a delegation from
Washington
Physicians
for Social Responsibility
and in January, she was
with a donor group,
Grassroots International.
Rothchild
recently
recounted
her
2015
and 2017 journeys to
Gaza with an Israeli and
Palestinian medical aid
delegation to a group
of
Suffolk
University
students.
“It
was
just
breathtaking to see the
level
of
destruction,”
said Rothchild during her
presentation.
According
to
Rothchild, Gaza has been
under military rule since
1967 and had Jewish
settlers, but in 2005, the
settlers were removed
because of a blockade of
the strip.
Hamas
is
a
Palestinian
SunniIslamic organization that
currently governs Gaza.
Rothchild explained that
Hamas took control in
2007 when they won the
civil war against Fatah.
Since 2007, there has
been a severe restrictive
siege. For decades, Gaza
faced rocket fire from
militant groups and a
growing,
devastating
humanitarian crisis.
Between 2008 and
2014 there were three
massive assaults on Israel,
including one in June
2014 where 30 rockets
were launched from Gaza
into Israel.
“Both times [I went to
Gaza], we were invited
by the Gaza community
mental health program,
which is an incredible
mental health program
providing
psychiatric
care,” said Rothchild.
“So I was doing things
like providing services,
interviews and mostly
documenting facts from
the ground.”
The 2014 invasion led
to many fatalities in Gaza
and Israel. Specifically,
74 Israeli’s were killed
and 100 civilians were
injured. In Gaza over
2,100 individuals were
killed,
including
500
children and more than
100,000
people
were
left homeless. Children
were traumatized by the
war and estimated about
370,000 were in need
of psychiatric care, said
Rothchild.
Rothchild
displayed
images
of
prominent
buildings
that
had
burnt down, such as the
ministry of finance and
mosques that she saw
while “reporting from
the ground” in Gaza,
but Hamas was doing
reconstruction on the
mosques.
Sophomore journalism
major
Ryan
Emma,
watched as Rothchild
gave her presentation.
“I consider myself an
educated person,” said
Emma in an interview
with
The
Suffolk
Journal after Rothchild’s
presentation. “but to see
her perspective on this
was real eye opening.”
The author showed
images of Beit Lahiya, a
city in Northern Gaza,
which largely consisted
of destroyed buildings.
A majority of the city’s
infrastructure has been
reduced to rubble.
“I kept seeing intact
apartment buildings next
to rubble that got bombed,
so it’s really a whim of
faith whether you lived
or died in this war,” said
Rothchild. Thirty percent
of the 100,000 homeless
individuals
lived
in
bombed out homes in
Beit Lahiya, she said.
In Beit Hanoun, a
city in the northeast,
Rothchild captured an
image of a cat painted on
a concrete wall by graffiti
artist and political activist
Banksy.
“His idea was that
people will take pictures of
a kitten much more than
they will take pictures of
a hungry Gazan child,”
said Rothchild. “It was a
political commentary of
that fact.”
Rothchild continued,
showing the students the
eastern
neighborhood
of Shuja’iyaa. Like many
places in Gaza, Israeli
forces clashed with Hamas
militants and Shuja’iyaa
was heavily damaged by
shelling in 2014. During
the second Lebanon war,
the Dahiya doctrine was
developed in Shuja’iyaa
after Israel destroyed the
Dahiya district in Beirut.
The
doctrine
stated
that if a military group
completely destroys an
area, this doctrine will
act as deterrence where
confrontation will not be
beneficial.
“The
level
of
desperation and poverty
was
just
appalling,”
said
Rothchild
about
a man from Shuja’iyaa
she
met
with
two
wives, 42 children and
grandchildren and no
home.
In Gaza City, although
some parts were bombed,
it still appeared to be
functional with cars and
roads. Rothchild was able
to see vegetables and
fruits from across the city
because it was so fertile.
But Gaza City has also
faced a major problem
of a lack of electricity.
Rothchild
witnessed
donkeys pulling carts of
fuel in order to provide
energy to the city.
“People were really
bombed back into a
different century,” she
said.
The sewer system was
impacted by the war. In
some parts of Gaza, the
sewer treatment plans
were destroyed, causing
raw sewage to flow into
the Mediterranean Sea.
“You
see
people
fishing in the water with
the sewage in it and
swimming and playing
with their horses in the
water with the sewage in
it,” said Rothchild.
After
Gaza
City,
Rothchild showed images
of Khan Yunis.
Showing a powerful
image of a wedding in
the bombed out city,
Rothchild said, “You see
people trying to do the
best they can.”
Rafah was next on
Rothchild’s visual journey
for the students. In
Rafah, more than 500
tunnels were bombed.
The tunnels hosted black
market economic activity,
she explained.
Rothchild emphasized
that Gaza, though a small
territory, is diverse and
has a young population.
As of 2017, there are
differences in Gaza since
Rothchild’s first trip in
2015. There are land
restrictions so people
can farm and there is
some rebuilding. She said
blocks of cement were
equivalent to gold to a
Gazan.
One of the most
eye-opening
parts
of
Rothchild’s travels was
when she visited the
Gaza Community Mental
Health Program, which
offered
training
and
mental health services for
the community.
Dr. Yasser Abu-Jamei,
the executive director
of the Gaza Community
Mental Health Program,
lost 28 family members
due to the 2014 war on
Gaza. He told her about 51
days of intense fear and
insecurity, the staff and
families who died, and the
mobilization of the staff
to care for the population.
He used the term PostTraumatic Stress Disorder
to describe many of his
patients, but explained
the trauma is lifelong.
“I cannot offer a
patient
something
I
cannot have for myself,”
said Abu-Jamei.
When
Rothchild
visited schools in Gaza
she noticed the children’s
drawings depicted death
and destruction. They
drew what they knew, and
sadly death and bombings
were a common theme in
many Gazans’ lives, she
said.
“This is what their
realities are as their
lives as children,” said
Rothchild.
Regardless of all the
trauma and destruction
Gaza has undergone over
the years, the people still
manage to remain as one.
They survive and live
their lives through the
rubble.
“Gaza is not only a
place, it is two million
people,” said Rothchild.

Spell it out for me
By Felicity Otterbein,
Arts Editor
In a rip-roaring performance of “The
25th Annual Putnam County Spelling
Bee,” Suffolk University Students
earned a well-deserved standing ovation
at the Modern Theater Friday night.
Complete with special guests picked
from the audience, amongst them
was the Assistant Dean of Students at
Suffolk, John Silveria. He was pulled
up on stage with two other students
as well as audience member and
wife of Performing Arts Office Office
Coordinator Antoine Gagnon, Irene
Daly. Silveria was gracious, yet had
some difficulty controlling his giggles
while trying to spell his assigned word,
“cow.” The audience erupted into fits
of hysteria when Silveria asked the
mediator to use his word in a sentence.
The show itself is a unique one-act
long performance which came into
existence on Broadway in 2005. Set in
an ambiguous Putnam Valley Middle
School, six pre-pubescent students

come
together
to
compete
for
the
champion title and the
coveted
opportunity
to attend the national
spelling bee competition
in
Washington
D.C.
The Bee is comprised
of four guest spellers
and
six middle school
contestants,
Charlito
“Chip” Tolentino played
by Peter Firek, Logainne
SchwartzandGrubenierre
played by Julianna Fields,
Leaf Coneybear played by
Ma’Chel Martin, William
Boris Barfeé played by
Michael Greene, Marcy
Park played by Olivia
Lowe and Olive Ostrovsky
played by Jenna Locke.
With each individual
character more funny and
entertaining than the next,
the Suffolk performers
did
not
disappoint.
As
the
show
progressed, the audience
was introduced to each
participant's
personal
histories. Beginning with
a peppy and cheerful
opening number of, “The
25th
Annual
Putnam
County Spelling Bee,” the
company set the tone for
the evening with a set of
choreographed
dances
and gentle harmonies.
Complete with the quirks
and ticks of every preteen,
the
students
created
an air of amusement to
quickly captivate and hold
the audience’s attention.
By far, the most
memorable performances
included
Greene’s
character,
Lowe’s
character,
Locke’s
character, Fields character
and Martin’s character.
Green’s
character,
a
boy with an aggressive
allergy
problem,
has
a “magic foot,” which
he claims helps him to
visualize the words he
has to spell. Greene,
with
an
impeccable
stuffy and whiny voice,
was perfect for this role.
He
sports
extremely
high-waisted
shorts
held up by suspenders
and
is
continuously
upset when his name is
routinely mispronounced
throughout the show.
Lowe’s
character
is
portrayed
as
an
overachiever
who
performs an entire song
regarding
her
hobby,
winning. She discusses
her ability to speak six
languages, her undeniable
athleticism and overall
boredom
with
her
continued success. Lowe
does an excellent job
conveying that disinterest
and manages to perform
almost
the
entire
show with a grim and
unamused
expression.
Ostrovsky
quickly
earns the heart of the
audience
when
she
earnestly convinces the
judges to let her compete
sans entry fee after she
assures them that her
father will be attending
the competition because
he promised her that
he would be there to
support. Throughout the
production, she reveals
that her mother has
been gone for months
on an excursion in India,
while her father never
seems to be around
despite his promises to
support his daughter.
She claims she took
the bus by herself to get
to the spelling bee and
that her only friend is
the worn out dictionary
that she keeps in her
bathroom. Dedicating an
entire song to her parents,
she laments over the
relationship she has with
them and wishes that she
could do something to
mend it. Out of the entire
group of participants,
only Olive and William
become
friends.
Arguably the most
intriguing
character
was Coneybear, Martin’s
character.
Sporting
a
helmet on his head,
goggles, a tie-dye cape and
a sock puppet, Coneybear
is the most bizarre out
of all the personalities
on stage. Claiming he
knows no words, his
character is overcome,
rather
possessed,
by
this sock puppet who
uncannily spells out every
word correctly. Almost
as though he is in a
trance, Coneybear quickly
Courtesy of Dan McHugh
shakes off the possession
and resumes wearing a
toothy grin and gentle
personality.
Dedicating
an entire song to his
family claiming he is not
that smart, he accepts
that fact and claims that
he would rather focus
on being a good person.
The
youngest
of
the
group,
SchwartzandGrubenierre,
Fields character, is a
scrawny
stereotypical
nerd
complete
with
headgear and a speech
impediment. Shrill and
shrewd, Fields does the
character justice with
gawky
posture
and
deliverance of speech.
Almost puppeteered by
her two gay fathers whom
have an incredible toll on
their daughter regarding
an unhealthy obsession
with winning, “Schwarzy”
suffers a devastating loss
after she overthinks a
seemingly simple word.
Fields did a remarkable
job selling the image of an
awkward, yet undeniably
passionate,
schoolgirl.
The performers did an
unquestionably fantastic
job. The level of work
put into a production
such as this one was
extensive and did not
go
unnoticed.
Every
dance step, every lyric,
every rehearsed line of
dialogue was impeccable
and
impressive.

being
replaced
by
newer
and
younger
actresses.
While
the
show
appears to appeal to the
more sympathetic viewers
who might empathize
with the two aging stars,
a more serious undertone
is taken regarding the
level
of
seriousness
depicting the dismissal
of women when they are
deemed “too old,” for
roles usually taken on by
a younger person.
In
an
almost
devastatingly tragic way,
the show touches on the
aspects of ageism and
blatant
disregard
for
disposable talent. The
two women, obviously
worn out and tired
from
having
worked
desperately for what they
felt passionate about only
to, in return, not receive
the same affection and
adoration
from
the
careers they chose for
themselves.
Ultimately
being forced to accept
that their glory days were
quickly
disappearing
behind them, the women
are depicted as appearing
to be washed up and
desperate for work. This
fact is one of the major
reasons
the
women
decided to pair up to
make “Baby Jane,” with
the hopes that they would
be catapulted back into
the picture and award
scenes.
Amidst the dramatics,
the endless flow of alcohol
and the bombardment
of continuous insults
hurled across the screen,
the audience is able to
relish in a odd sense of
comfort. This comfort
that stems from the fact
that while these women
were dealing with such a
tough and unpaved route
to stardom and success,
the film industry has
become increasingly more
progressive. Lange herself
is a striking 68-yearold who has continued
to reap the affection
bestowed upon her from
the glowing success from
“American Horror Story.”
Juxtaposed to Crawford
who was in her mid-50’s
when she filmed “Baby
Jane,” and was presumed
to be finished with her
career.
A powerhouse of talent
and dripping with Emmy
potential, the series is
set to premiere on FX on
March 8.

Students of color need
to feel more appreciated

Journal Contributor
Black History Month:
Suffolk leaves students wanting more
Haley Clegg/Photo Editor
Elvira Mora
Journal Staff
February has been a
month dedicated to the
struggles faced by the
Black community, which
was first recognized in
1976 and to celebrate
those who have been
marginalized.
It
also
recognizes
important
people of color through
history.
As a Latina woman, I
can empathize why this
month is necessary. The
hope is for more white
people to become allies
not only with the Black
community,
but
with
anyone of color. There
should be more white
people who recognize past
history and use numerous
past events to actively
learn how they can help
to prevent history from
repeating itself.
It is essential to
celebrate Black History
Month (BHM) collectively
between all races and
nationalities
in
order
to become a step closer
toward a sense of basic
equality.
Although this month
was
relevant
and
meaningful,
Suffolk’s
limited
promotion
of
celebratory
events
regarding BHM is a bit
alarming, especially when
claiming to be a diverse
university.
When
the
university put out their
weekly emails regarding
events, there were barely
any that were highly
advertised.
There were no flyers
except to call attention
to the Black and White
Affair, a dance held at the
Boston Hyatt Regency, as
“The
representation of
people of
color is
extremely
important;
however,
Suffolk
failed to
show its
support
and to
honor its
“diverse”
community.”
well as an invitation “to
taste soul food” at weekly
meetings, both hosted
by the Black Student
Union. Besides that, no
other events were overtly
publicized.
The
representation
of people of color is
extremely
important;
however, Suffolk failed
to show its support and
to honor its “diverse”
community.
On a national level,
black figures in pop
culture and film have
displayed solidarity in
celebrating their heritage.
Beyoncé is a well-known
figure who happens to
be of color and recently
announced that she is
having twins. Her album
“Lemonade,”
released
last year was a stylistic
example of her culture
and many others.
Moreover, a hip hop
group called, “A Tribe
Called
Quest”
gave
a
politically
charged
performance
at
the
Grammys as they chanted
“We the People,” and
invited individuals to come
together despite their
respective backgrounds.
The
films
“Hidden
Figures,” and “Fences,”
became nominated for
an Oscar and Viola Davis
received an Oscar for
best supporting actress
in “Fences.” Even more
representation of the
Black community was
seen when the film
“Moonlight,” with an allblack cast, took home an
Oscar for Best Picture.
If
representation
is repeatedly seen on
multiple platforms of
media, Suffolk should
be able to focus on
representing its students
of color. Suffolk could
advocate for different
events
occurring
on
campus
through
its
social media accounts,
flyers and emails instead
of each individual club
attempting to get their
message
across
and
reach a smaller audience.
There needs to be a more
organized and succinct
way to reach the Suffolk
community to celebrate
diversity.
BHM is a critical aspect
in celebrating people who
have struggled in society
for hundreds of years.
As human beings, basic
equality and well being of
every individual should be
practiced. Suffolk needs to
recognize people of color
not only in February, but
also consistently through
the year. It’s time to
praise diversity and our
peers of color.
Originally
from
Nigeria, as an incoming
freshman, I was under the
impression that I would
be in a diverse community
with students from many
different
backgrounds;
this observation was true.
This past fall semester
was my first at Suffolk
University
and
my
expectations were high
but eventually were not
met. One of the reasons
they fell flat was because
professors had not been
making an effort to reach
out or contact students to
find out how they could
go about or understand
the
executive
order
regarding the Muslim
Ban.
The white population
at the university makes
up 44 percent of the
ethnicities
and
takes
up important roles as
students
and
faculty.
They are the majority
and could create a more
involved role by making
minority
groups
feel
welcome in class, at work
and in the dorms because
as of right now, they do
not do well.
During the presidential
election between Donald
Trump
and
Hillary
Clinton, I was under the
impression that Trump
was certain to lose only
because he had made
shocking,
obnoxious
and shameful remarks
about people in terms
of religion, gender and
ethnicity.
In one of his speeches,
when
referring
to
Mexicans, Trump said,
”They’re bringing drugs.
They’re bringing crime.
They’re
rapists.
And
some, I assume, are good
people.”
Moreover,
president
Trump expected Barack
Obama to hold African
Americans
accountable
for crime because of
his race and position
of power. Trump had
said “Our great AfricanAmerican president has
not exactly had a positive
impact on the thugs who
are so happily and openly
destroying Baltimore,” on
Barack Obama, who has
done more for America
than other U.S. Presidents.
These are examples of
Donald Trump’s lack of
basic knowledge about
social awareness and the
reasons behind why I
thought he would lose the

Editor’s Word
The editorial board and
writing staff of the The
Suffolk Journal works
furiously to ensure
each story is written
and published with
unconditional integrity.
As journalists, we strictly
maintain a professional
level of neutrality.
Nonetheless, we are
indeed members of Suffolk
University, and as students
are entitled to certain
opinions regardless of
our status within our
profession.
On Tuesday, a vote was
cast in which Journal
colleagues selected Daniel
Gazzani to bear an official
endorsement with the name
of The Suffolk Journal
firmly behind it. We believe
Gazzani is the candidate
that will most accurately
and efficiently represent
not only the student body,
but the very ideology that
Suffolk epitomizes.
While The Journal has
nothing but the utmost
respect for candidate
Devarth Dixit, we are
confident in the abilities
that Gazzani possesses
and the potential that
he embodies. Gazzani’s
genuine charisma and
relentless dedication are
qualities that we constantly
aspire to emanate at The
Journal as well.
As recent university issues
have arose, supplemented
by the political climate this
country faces, the leaders
we intend to be mirrored
by are most accurately
described by a single word;
passion. Gazzani illustrates
the essence of passion, and
we stand by him.

than the leaks
Patrick George
Journal Contributor
President
Donald
Trump’s claim to fame
may be his ability to
create an extraordinary
amount of jobs, in the
political
comedy
and
punditry industry.
For
the last two years, Trump
has enraged the general
public
for
both
his
comments— preference
for heroes who aren’t
prisoners of war, lewd
comments about women,
and his policies such as
the Muslim Ban, Border
Wall. It’s almost too easy
to find a tidbit to grasp
onto, but in doing so we
should be mindful of the
validity of these stories
and avoid the hysteria of
“fake news.” The concern,
however, is this: constant
criticism of Trump, will
not do us any favors when
it comes time for him to
act presidential.
While reading the
news, I saw myriad
headlines referring to
Trump’s inevitable rise
to authoritarianism. Jack
Goldsmith, the former
head of the Office of
Legal Counsel (OLC) for
President George W. Bush,
had a different concern.
He believed Trump might
possibly be “too weak”
to respond to a national
security crisis. Goldsmith,
who has written for
“Lawfare,” reasons, “Weak
presidencies enhance the
likelihood of a foreign
policy crisis that weak
presidents are ill-suited to
redress, and indeed that
often bring out the worse
in a weak president—
especially one who is
thin-skinned, uninformed
and impulsive.”
Goldsmith is right.
Checks and balances is a
foundational principle of
American democracy, but
the principle is not meant
to pummel the executive
into inaction.
Another increasingly
difficult story to ignore
is the proliferation of
leaks. If these leaks are
coming from deep-state
sources, as alleged by
“The Atlantic” and other
sources, they only serve to
make us more vulnerable.
The
release
of
this
information is performed
by career officials not
held responsible by an
electorate,
and
they
should not be making
the decisions they are to
release this information.
For example, for every
justification provided for
the leak of his memo on
reopening black sites,
there is a refuted leak
about
his
interaction
with
the
Australian
Prime Minister, Malcolm
Turnbull.
I will give
credit where it is due;
he is right that National
Security secrets should
not be leaked regarding
his dealings with North
From RACE page 9
election.
“Some
Caucasian
students may protest on
different occasions, but
do not see it as a long time
commitment because they
can’t relate to the hurdles
or barriers a black person
may have to overcome in
their lifetime,” said John
Olubambi, a business
student at Suffolk. His
reason for saying this is
clear and incisive.
Despite Trump making
these comments directed
to
minority
group
members throughout his
career, the white majority
at
Suffolk
University
has not done enough
to condemn his Muslim
Ban and other executive
orders.
The white population
at
Suffolk
could
contribute
more
by
organizing
nonviolent
protests against the order
outside Suffolk buildings,
or have the president of
the international student
association
condemn
the order. Instead, there
have been some students
just sit back, indulge in
privilege and watch the
nation get divided by a
man with no political
experience because it has
no impact on them or
their friends.
My expectations for
society are high and I
believe that they need
to do more to better
this world. More people
should ask themselves,
“How can I help?” when
it comes to racism,
sexism,
Islamophobia,
homophobia and other
hate speech.
Korea, as he said on
Twitter. You don’t need to
look very far to criticize
Trump for a legitimate
misunderstanding of his
duties— turning his Mara-Lago resort into a public
situation room, and his
botched immigration ban
rollout is sufficient. There
is no need to fabricate
stories or risk national
security.
It is an ever-important
role of public officials and
private citizens to be kept
abreast of the president’s
actions. It is even more
important to be critical
of the president’s policies,
and combat him if you
disagree, without reprisal.
But criticism based on the
person’s character and
not his policies will do
more harm than good,
particularly in the realm
of national security. Given
the public role of the
President, there is a fine
line between warranted
criticism and character
assassination. The public
has a responsibility to
walk that line and err on
the side of caution— even
if our Commander-inChief chooses not to.

Softball swings into new season, catches warm weather
By Instagram user @gosuffolkrams
Hannah Arroyo
Journal Staff
After finishing last
year with the winningest
season in Suffolk softball
program history with a
33-9 record, the Lady
Rams kick off their 2017
campaign in Arizona in
early March for some
spring training action at
the Tucson Invitational.
This is the first time
that Suffolk’s softball
team has traveled to
Arizona in their 33-year
program
history.
The
Rams will play five double
headers starting March 11
versus Central College
and ending March 16
against Dickinson College.
Five-year Head Coach
Jaclyn Davis said that the
team has been preparing
to face some “fierce”
competition in the Copper
state. The Lady Rams are
in their fourth week of
a six-week process of
training that includes
working on fitness, skill
development and team
building.
“It’s the nature of the
sport and the nature of
weather that we start
somewhere warm,” said
Davis in a recent interview
with The Suffolk Journal.
“We’ve never been to
Arizona before. We just
want to try something
different.
In Arizona, the Rams
will also face teams such
as the University of Puget
Sound, Stevens Institute
of Technology, Greenville
College
and
Hamline
University.
“There’s some really
good competition out
there [such as] some
regional competition that
we don’t normally,” said
Davis. “I think that will
be important to us both
in terms of preparing for
conference play, but also
so that people start to
understand who we are
and that we can compete
a high level with teams
that are in other regions
and in other parts of the
country.”
Davis
officially
announced this seven-day
spring training trip along
with their 40-game full
regular season schedule
that features eight double
headers at East Boston
Memorial Park. The Lady
Rams play their first
game back from Tucson
on March 24 away versus
Emerson College. The
schedule includes eleven
Great Northeast Athletic
Conference
(GNAC)
double headers.
Since Davis' coaching
era at Suffolk, the team
has played consistent
softball and improved
their program record. Her
first season with the team
resulted in a losing record
of 16-25. Just last season,
the Rams succeeded in
doubling that number of
wins with a record of 339. In 2016, Davis was also
awarded with the honor
of GNAC Coach of the
Year.
“I think what we’re
trying to do is really
trying to make this season
sort of its own separate
entity,” said Davis. “While
we are really proud of
what we did last year and
we really appreciate how
much it was celebrated by
the university, it’s almost
like you can’t take it with
you.”
Davis said that what
she meant by this is
the team cannot let the
results of one season
effect the next. She said
that it is important that
her team doesn’t take
anything for granted and
keeps working hard every
day to be successful each
season.
Davis explained that
this year the team’s
biggest challenge will be
facing Johnson and Wales
University (JWU) because
they are well coached and
have good talent. In the
past few years, Suffolk has
won the regular season
and JWU has won the
conference tournament.
Davis also said that this
season, she hopes for her
team to win in both of
those categories.
“I think that you can
absolutely expect to see a
bunch of hungry softball
players. They want to
be successful so badly
not only for themselves
and me, but for the
university,” said Davis. “I
wish more people could
be there to watch them
play, because they really
do leave it out on the
field every single day.”
Suffolk’s
19-roster
team
remains
nearly
the same this year as
they
only
graduated
two seniors last season.
Captain
and
junior
Lindsay Pagano said that
the team’s chemistry has
been building up through
team events like getting
together for suppers and
events. Pagano said that
she knows people are
going to expect a lot from
her team this season.
“Our [33-9] win season
was such a feat last year
and obviously we hope to
surmount to that or pass
it this year,” said Pagano
in a recent interview
with The Journal. “We're
looking to those returners
to come back with strong
seasons and help lead
us back to that winning
record.”
This season the team
also added four new
freshmen to their roster.
As a captain, Pagano said
that she and her team
have helped to make sure
that these new girls not
only adjust to the pace of
the game but play better
together as a team.
“With
only
four
freshman it was not that
hard for us to get to know
the upperclassman with
the amount of time that
we have spent together
since September,” said
freshman
outfielder
Samantha
Jacques
in
an interview with The
Journal. “I think we
have a very strong team
chemistry. On and off the
field everyone has each
other’s backs.”
Junior
outfielder
Sydney Littlefield said
that regardless of her
team’s record they just
hope to go win the GNAC
this year. She said that
they have been one of the
most successful teams in
Suffolk Softball and that
their success would not
be complete without a
title.
“We
have
worked
really hard to be in the
position we are at, and we
feel that if we continue to
grow as a team we are
capable of playing long
after our spring classes
are over,” said Littlefield
in a recent interview with
The Journal.

Captain’s Corner: Rams take the diamond

Asst. Opinion Editor
The Great Northeast
Athletic
Conference
(GNAC) office announced
on Feb. 16 that the Suffolk
University baseball team
was selected to win their
third GNAC championship
this 2017 season. The
Rams sat on top of
the coaches prediction
poll with 59 points. In
2016, the Rams finished
their season with an
overall record of 33-13.
The team obtained the
GNAC postseason title
and advanced to their
sixth National Collegiate
Athletic
Association
(NCAA) debut. The Rams
returned four members of
the winning 2016 roster
as captains for their
upcoming season: Sean
Cameron, Matt Brenner,
Brady Chant and Chuck
Gibson.
Sean Cameron, #11
Playing one of the most defensively
demanding positions for Suffolk’s
baseball team, senior shortstop Sean
Cameron, will be looking to have
another successful season.
“Shortstop is always looked at as a
sort of leadership position and I kind
of welcome that, but really, I don’t
look at being a captain any different,”
said Cameron in a recent interview
with The Suffolk Journal.
A transfer student from Roanoke
College in Salem, VA., Cameron will
be heading into his third season as
a first-year captain for the Rams.
Cameron was seen by his team as a
leader and in the fall was elected to
be one of four captains for the Rams
this season.
“It’s cool that my teammates
thought of me as a captain, but really
I just try to go out there and give it
my all everyday, practice or game, no
matter what,” said Cameron.
Cameron plans to defend the
Rams two-time GNAC champion title
and make another run in the NCAA
regional tournament.
As a captain, Cameron said he tries
not to think about the responsibilities
behind being a team leader, but acts
the same way he does on a daily basis.
He also explained that the team is
filled with a lot of upperclassmen,
so most players are aware of what is
expected of them.
“If it’s not broken, don’t fix it,”
said Cameron.
Besides being more comfortable
with the coaches and being an
upperclassmen, Cameron does not
emphasize anything new that comes
with being a captain. He plans to lead
the Rams loudly and do the same
thing the team has done over the
years.

Matt Brenner, #7
Brady Chant, #4
Chuck Gibson, #9
Playing in a career total of 90
games for Suffolk’s baseball team so
far, senior catcher Matt Brenner looks
to see that number increase as his
final season approaches.
Voted by his teammates during the
fall, Brenner, a global business major,
stands among three other Rams as a
first-year captain in his fourth season
for Suffolk’s baseball team. Brenner
will defensively take this season
from behind home plate as the Rams
catcher.
“I plan to lead by example by
showing up everyday and working
to my best ability,” said Brenner in
a recent interview with The Suffolk
Journal.
Wearing number seven for the
Rams in their 2017 season, Brenner,
alongside his teammates, plans to
“three-peat” this season and take
home their third GNAC championship.
He does not plan to stop at winning
the GNAC, but also hopes the team
makes a run at the NCAA regional
tournament.
“This is my last season so I hope
to finish strong with the senior class I
came in with,” said Brenner.
As a captain, Brenner feels it
his role to push his teammates and
ensure they are performing to their
full potential. He wants to help his
team succeed and compete every
day to the highest of their abilities,
while also being the person that the
underclassmen on the team can look
up to. The global business major
hopes to give the underclassmen
beneficial objectives to carry into
future seasons.
“This will be my last season of ever
playing baseball, so I intend to leave
everything I have in this season and
on the field,” said Brenner.
While Brady Chant is more softspoken than his teammates, he is a
leader in his athletic performance and
demeanor.
“You just set an example. We kind
of just set a tone. We try to relay
that to the guys who haven’t seen
it before,” said Chant in a recent
interview with The Suffolk Journal.
Chant, junior and centerfielder,
is the youngest among the four
captains on this year’s baseball team,
and was not expecting to be chosen
as a captain, as it is typically a
responsibility awarded to a senior.
“Brady’s an amazing baseball
player, but is still one of the hardest
working players on the team,” said
senior second-baseman BJ Neil in
an interview with The Journal on
Thursday. “Even though he is only
a junior on the team, it was an easy
decision to vote for Brady to be one of
our captains.”
Chant, of Warwick RI, wants to
start the season strong by bringing
the team further in regionals.
“We’ve been to regionals two years
and haven’t won a game, hopefully
we’ll make a little run in that,’ said
Chant.
Chant is proud of how far his team
has come and is looking forward to
leading them to success, and sees his
role as captain to keep his teammates
motivated and focused throughout
the season.
“There’s ups and downs during
the season, sometimes you win a
game you weren’t supposed to win,
sometimes you lose a game you
weren’t supposed to lose, so you
[got to] respond to that,” said Chant.
“Every team is [going to] slump, in
every team [there are] good weeks
and bad weeks.”
Senior Chuck Gibson and first time
captain is hoping to continue the
“dynasty” that is Suffolk Baseball.
Gibson, a pitcher for the Rams
from Malden, Mass., is entering his
fourth year on the team and hopes
to be the team’s number one starter
this season. He aims to end his senior
year on a high note by leading his
team and winning their third GNAC
in a row. The pitcher said that he was
honored to be voted captain of such a
successful team.
“Hopefully we will leave our mark
there and hopefully leave a culture
that follows in our footsteps,” said
Gibson in a recent interview with The
Suffolk Journal.
When it comes to his teammates,
Gibson utilizes his no-nonsense
leadership style.
“I feel like our jobs as captains is
just to keep everyone in check,” said
Gibson, “I think part of our success
last year, that was our best season in
a long time and I think that’s because
there weren’t any egos, we all just
came together.”
The entrepreneurship major hopes
to lead his teammates on the field,
but also noted the importance of
his teammates performance off the
field. As a captain, he makes sure that
everyone is staying on top of their
grades and overall doing well in their
classes.
“Most of us aren’t going to be
playing baseball after [college]” said
Gibson.
However, Gibson is ready to
transition from pre-season and lead
his team to success.
“We all just get consumed by the
season,” said Gibson. “We’re a lot
more responsive when it actually
means something.

Divided State of America
Jacob Geanous
World News Editor
In a nation that has
been divided by decision,
waves of dissent have
washed over the United
States
following
the
confirmation of a Donald
Trump
presidency.
Protests
and
rallies
have
materialized
to
voice opposition against
America’s choice across
the
country
with
a
higher concentration in
urban epicenters, blue
strongholds
for
the
Democratic party.
During
the
early
hours
of
Wednesday
morning, as it became
evident that Republicans
would take the White
House, movements began
mobilizing on social media
to organize protesters
who have been infuriated
by Trump’s controversial
exceptionalist rhetoric.
In Boston, invitations
to an event labeled
“Students
against
Trump” were sent out on
Facebook around 5 a.m.
on Wednesday, Nov. 9 to
a vast collection of college
students in the city. Hours
later, an organized group
comprised of more than
one hundred students
met at the corner of
Park street and Tremont
Street
and
marched
through Boston Common
to demonstrate disdain
for the new PresidentElect.
They
snaked
through the Common,
chanting a variety of antiTrump sentiments and
voiced outcry against
the
Trump
message
which, at times, has been
sexist, xenophobic and
misogynistic.
“My body, my choice”
and “love trumps hate.”
strained repeated voices.
The young voices rang
out
throughout
the
Common for an audience
of bystanders who gawked
and took pictures. Some
protesters
screamed,
others cried, but nearly
none of the students wore
anything resembling a
smile on their faces.
Haley Clegg/ Photo Editor
“I’m here because I’m
queer and scared,” said
Sabrina Combs, who had
stepped out of the group
to take a short break
away from the emotional
fanfare
to
smoke
a
cigarette.
The group swelled in
number as they weaved
through the Common and
had amassed more than
two hundred students by
the time they made it to
the State House, which
was set to be the final
destination of the action.
Cars honked and some
drivers raised fists in
solidarity as the group
paraded across Beacon
Street and stopped traffic
on their way to the front
steps of the State House.
Protesters covered the
stairs and sidewalk in
front of the Bulfinch
entrance of the State
House. They repeatedly
chanted “we love you”

Committee opens dialogue to students on presidential search

News Editor
Members
of
the
Suffolk
community
gathered in Sargent Hall
on Tuesday afternoon in
a town hall meeting to
discuss the university’s
ongoing search for a new
President. A panel of
the Presidential Search
Committee,
mediated
by Chairman of the
Committee and Board
of
Trustees
member
John Brooks, sat before
students who voiced their
concerns about issues
at the university, and
expressed the qualities
they deem important in a
new president’s priorities
Suffolk Trustee, as
well as Choate Hall &
Stewart LLP commercial
litigator E. Macey Russell
told a reporter from The
Suffolk Journal that this
search will, “focus not on
what’s in front of us but
what we are missing,” in
a post-meeting interview
on Tuesday.
Russell
said
that
instead of looking at what
the university already has,
the Search Committee
will assess the needs that
Suffolk has in order to
find the best candidate.

Ford Hall Forum debates economic inequality NEWS BRIEF
Morgan Hume
Journal Staff
Throughout
the
recent election season,
Americans’
concerns
about the economy were
on the rise. After the
election, people continue
to raise questions about
economic inequality and
whether it is good or bad
for the country.
Monday night’s Ford
Hall Forum hosted at
the Old South Meeting
House focused on those
ideas, and the notion of
whether or not economic
inequality was fair.
Yaron Brook, executive
director at Ayn Rand
Institute and coauthor
of the book “Equality
Is
Unfair:
America’s
Misguided Fight Against
Income Inequality,” and
Jonathan Haughton, a
senior economist at The
Beacon
Hill
Institute
and economics professor
at
Suffolk
University,
engaged in a heated
debate about economic
inequality. Jim Stergios
of the Pioneer Institute
monitored the event.
Brook
began
the
debate by arguing that
Americans only recently
started worrying about
the economic issues. He
said that for most of the
nation’s history, people
have been individualistic,
so they cared about
themselves.
“It’s only in more
recent times that they
started really caring,” said
Brook. “I think there’s
two reasons. One reason
is the collectivization of
society and the second is
that there are now real
problems in America in
our economy.”
Haughton
disagreed
and claimed that the
world we live in does not
let the individual thrive.
“Society is contributing
to what we make, what
we earn, and therefore
in effect is contributing
to the inequality as well,”
said Haughton. “So we
are not in an ideal world
for the individual, in
any chance he deserves
everything he gets.”
The debate moved to
the subject of property
rights.
Haughton
argued
that property rights are
hard to elucidate, but
they are defined socially.
He used the example of
smoking cigarettes inside
the Meeting House. The
reason no one is allowed
to smoke inside is because
it
violates
everyone
else’s right to clean air,
Haughton said.
Haughton also said
that, as a believer in
markets, he thinks the
market
would
solve
economic
problems
instead of the government
if property rights were
clearly defined.
Brooke
rebutted,
saying the smoking ban
violates the right of the
owner of the building,
who
should
decide
whether occupants are
allowed to smoke because
he owns the building, and
thus owns the air inside
it.
Stergios then asked
was
whether
greater
inequality is good even if
it comes with substantial
growth?
Brook said we need
to embrace inequality
because having inequality
means having freedom.
He said a person can
choose a career that earns
a low or high income
based on what they want
to do for the rest of their
life. People have the
freedom to decide how
much money they want
to make, and therefore
where they want to stand
economically.
The floor opened to
a question and answer
session
during
the
final hour so audience
members
could
talk
about the main points
that mattered to them.
Questions about taxation
and
redistribution
of
wealth are some of the
topics voices from the
crowd asked about.
F r e s h m a n
international economics
major Jordan Albrizio
attended the forum and
found the two men’s
opposing
viewpoints
helped
bring
new
perspectives
to
a
controversial topic.
“I thought the forum
was very interesting and
insightful.
Both
men,
Haughton and Brook,
presented
opposing
viewpoints on topics that
are relevant in today’s
society,” she said in
an interview with The
Suffolk Journal.
Board and McKenna settle dispute
Courtesy of Suffolk University
Former President Margaret McKenna
A long-awaited dispute between former President
Margaret McKenna and the Board of Trustees has
recently ended on Friday after an agreement was
announced between the two parties. McKenna,
who was ousted in late July in a vote by the
current Board members, was replaced by former
Suffolk University Provost and current Acting
President Marisa Kelly. Board Chairman Robert
Lamb told the Boston Globe in a statement that
there was “no evidence” that she engaged in any
actions while she was president of the university
for her “personal benefit.” These allegations were
what had originally brought media attention to
the university and the debacle between McKenna
and the former Board’s Chairman Andrew Meyer.

Boston protests sends peaceful, powerful message to nation
From RALLY page 1
toward
two
pickup
trucks fitted with waving
American flags that drove
by
whose
occupants
screamed
rejoices
of
newly
appointed
President Trump.
More
than
twenty
police officers in neon
green
apparel
milled
around the outskirts of
the protest, some on the
sidewalk while others
were stationed in the
street. A small number
of students positioned
themselves in the center
of the group to lead the
the uniform chants and
songs. These students
also took turns stating
why a Trump presidency
frightened them, and wild
cheers of support erupted
after each declaration.
In the center of the
steps leading the group,
was Marc Perry, a Suffolk
University freshman who
sported a leather jacket
and a beard.
“It started off less
unified than it is now,”
said Perry. “It makes me
so happy that people can
come together against a
tyrant like this on only a
couple hours.”
Colin
Jenkins,
a
sophomore at Berklee
College of Music, silenced
the crowd multiple times
to speak his mind about
the perceived injustices
that he believed Trump
embodies.
He
rallied
in support of rights for
women, LGBT members
and
minorities.
With
every statement he made,
the crowd cheered louder.
Once he exited the mass
of students, his voice
became much softer and
a look of adolescent awe
crept on his face.
“We are fighting for
equality, equity, justice,
peace and love,” said
Jenkins. “I’m not the most
politically involved but,
when I see Donald Trump
spewing
the
terrible
things that he does, I find
it unacceptable. This is
the first step.”
For hours, students
rallied on the entrance
of the State House. Every
time a group of new
students crossed Beacon
street to join the group,
a deafening cheer would
explode from the group.
Every time a Trump
supporter would drive by
and yell at protesters, the
students would chant “I
love you” until the cars
were out of earshot.
Not all in attendance
supported the outward
show of discontent by the
protesters.
Brandan
Orgocka,
a freshman at Suffolk
University, stood a short
distance away from the
crowd holding a black and
yellow flag. A snake was
depicted on the flag along
with a caption that said
“don’t tread on me.” He is
a self-described member
of the libertarian party
and displayed the flag,
which was a symbol of
American independence,
to advocate for unity and
discourage unrest.
“I don’t agree with
this,”
said
Orgocka.
“They
are
misplacing
their anger. Clinton won
Massachusetts.
Trump
won the election. There’s
nothing much they can do
about it.”
The protests gained
strength as the sun
set. More than one
thousand
anti-Trump
advocates
funnelled
into the Common armed
with signs that became
increasingly difficult to
read in the darkness.
Members
of
the
Boston
police
began
arriving in caravans of
multiple squad vehicles
at the Common. A few
blocks away, a group
of officers dressed in
black tactical gear sat
down at Viva Burrito, a
Mexican restaurant, only
to have radio chatter
summon them out of the
restaurant.
“It is going to be a long
night,” said one of the
officers as they began for
the door. A couple others
offered sighs and grunts
of agreement. As they
exited the restaurant,
more than five police
motorcycles
sped
by
toward the direction of
the Boston Common.
Suffolk senior Kaity
Conery was present in
the Common to take
part in the protest with
friends, Matt Berard and
Michelle Lefrancois. They
described the tears, anger
and disbelief they had in
reaction to the election
results.
“I just can’t stop
thinking about all the
people that this affects,”
said
Conery.
“The
president
follows
the
people. Gay marriage
didn’t get passed until
people
wanted
it.
[Obama] was for it once
enough people were for
it. That’s why rallies are
so important.”
They hoped to change
the
perception
that
America has one of the
younger
generation,
which
has
been
repeatedly criticized for
low voter turnout rates
and
disconnect
from
American politics.
“Hopefully this shows
that
millennials
are
actually willing to do
something about it.” said
Lefrancois. “We have such
a bad stigma that we’re
lazy and don’t care. That
man is not my president,
he is barely a man. I hope
we can fix it.”
The next day, protests
continued.
Hundreds
of
people
organized
throughout the day in
different pockets of the
city to demonstrate a
strong
opposition
to
Trump’s future term in the
White House. Chants of
“not my president” could
be
heard
throughout
downtown Boston. These
protests did not reach
the magnitude of the
previous gatherings that
occurred the day before.
On Friday, the largest
post-election
rallies
formed in the Boston
Common. More than two
thousand people turned
out for a “love rally.”
This event was much
more positive and less
aggressive than the first
two days of protest. The
focus had pivoted. Less
anti-Trump
sentiment
was present, replaced
with a message that
called for the country to
come together to stop
hate, racism and bigotry.
This gathering visually
contrasted
from
the
protests that preceded
it as well. At this rally,
attendees
traded
the
dark, rebellious garb that
outfitted the previous
rallies
and
donned
technicolor
clothing
to show positivity and
support for the LGBT
community.
Nick Levesque, a senior
at Emerson College, was
outfitted in a red jacket
adorned
with
British
police buttons. He had
hearts painted on both
cheeks and wore a black
chef’s hat.
“I wanted to wear
something that showed
love and color instead
of the protests I’ve been
to that are all in black
leather
which
seems
angry.” he said. “I love
the idea of this rally. It’s
like group therapy where
everyone gathers and we
support each other.”
A large portion of the
crowd in the Common was
made up of children with
their parents, possibly
because the messages
being shouted previously
did not have child-friendly
connotations.
Profanity
laced chants were not
used this time, instead it
was replaced by positive
cheers of camaraderie
and unity. The Common
was a different place than
it was in the two days
prior. Hope had became a
substitute for anger.
On the outskirts of the
crowd was a young man,
Ja Zeguzman, who wore
a white t-shirt shivering
while sitting on a wooden
chair during the windy
fall day. A black blindfold
covered his eyes and had
a sign leaning against his
chair that read “write what
you fear.” He encouraged
those
in
attendance
to write their greatest
anxieties that a Trump
presidency may bring.
People lined up to write
on his shirt or in a book
that he held in his hands.
He kept the blindfold on
to ensure anonymity so
that whoever came to
write on him or his book
did not feel judged.
“I’m scared. I have a lot
of healthcare issues and
fear in relation to that,”
he said. “If Obamacare
goes, I really don’t know
what I’ll do.”
By the time the protest
ended, nearly no white
space was visible on his
shirt.
Multiple
groupings
of police officers were
stationed
around
the
rally. They stayed further
away from the gathering
than they had for the
previous twwo days, one
officer stated that it has
been relaxed because of
the peaceful nature of the
protests.
“It has been completely
peaceful, unlike what
has been going on in
other cities in America,”
said one of the officers
who prefered to remain
unnamed.
Around the country,
many
other
protests
have taken place. Unlike
Boston, some of these
protests have not been
benign. In Portland, two
anti-Trump
protesters
were arrested after a
man was shot during
a demonstration early
Saturday
morning,
according to the Seattle
Times. On Friday, 187
individuals were arrested
in Los Angeles during
a protest made up of
more than 8,000 people,
according to CNN. That
night,
11
protesters
were arrested in New
York during protests.
On Sunday, three more
protesters were arrested
in
downtown
Austin
during a small skirmish,
according to multiple
news sources. Boston
has no confirmed arrests
related to protests, as
of
early
Wednesday
morning.
As the demonstrations
continue
across
the
country, signs of slowing
down
have
not
yet
showed. As the arrests
rack up, dissent has been
increasingly
publicized.
Many are looking to
Obama, Clinton and the
rest of the Democratic
left
to
advise
their
constituency on how to
proceed.

More
than
1,000
people came together on
the Boston Common on
Wednesday to protest
the construction of the
Dakota Access Pipeline
(DAPL). This $3.78 billion
pipeline would transport
fracked crude oil from
the Bakken Shale in
North Dakota to Patoka,
Illinois, and would be
more than 1,100 miles
long, according to the
DAPL official website.
The Boston ralliers
came together to stand
in solidarity with the
protests occurring in
North Dakota. The rally
began with a prayer
that was asked to not be
recorded. Several of the
event organizers spoke
to the crowd about their
experiences protesting in
Standing Rock.
“They are standing
peacefully and prayerfully
to protect their ancestral
lands, sacred sites, and
the water of millions
of people against the
construction
of
the
Dakota Access Pipeline,
which is transporting
crude shale from the
Bakken oil field,” said
Karan Doczi, the lead
organizer of the event
in an interview with The
Suffolk Journal.
The
protesters
marched
through
Downtown
Crossing,
making a stop at TD bank
on Winter Street, one of
the banks investing in the
pipeline.
“We’re hoping to stop
by these big banks that are
funding the pipeline and
get attention and bring
awareness,” said assistant
organizer Jennifer Minor
in an interview with The
Suffolk Journal.
The protesters then
marched through Boston
Common to the Charles
River banging drums and
chanting, “You can’t drink
oil, leave it in the soil.”
At the Charles, Here
protesters formed a circle
and sent prayers to North
Dakota in solidarity. To
close off the protest, a
round dance was held in
which Native Americans
and
protesters
alike
came together in a large
circle and chanted while
walking clockwise around
the circle.
“Just because it is not
affecting us necessarily
right here, right now,
doesn’t mean it’s not
affecting everyone,” said
Suffolk University student
Ellie Brind’Amour. “And
the second one of us
starts to make a change,
regardless of whether
we are in the area where
the change needs to
take place, it can start a
huge effect that will help
people all over.”
Brind’Amour
came
to the protest with a
group of friends who also
participated in an earlier
rally protest earlier that
day against the outcome
of the 2016 election.
“We found out about
this protest and thought
it was best to make
sure we came out to
it,” said Brind’Amour in
an interview with the
Journal.

Company according to the
DAPL website.
Protesters in North
Dakota
argue
its
construction
will
put
water for millions of
people at risk as it runs
beneath
the
Missouri
River. The discharge of fill
materials into the river
from the construction
would make their source
of drinking water in
danger. The pipeline also
runs through sacred lands
of the Standing Rock
Sioux Tribe.
Due
to
eminent
domain, Energy Transfer
can
construct
the
pipeline through private
property, as long as the
property owners are paid
“adequate compensation,”
according to the DAPL
website. Energy Transfer
is pushing forward with
the construction of the
pipeline.
According to their
website, “Since pipelines
are statistically the safest
and most reliable mode of
transporting crude, DAPL
will improve safety to the
public and environment
and free up rail capacity
for the transportation
of
crops
and
other
commodities
currently
constrained by crude oil
cargos.”
In July, the Standing
Rock Sioux Tribe filed a
complaint for declaratory
and
injunctive
relief
against the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers.

An American abroad
Observing the new presidency while overseas
Katie Cusick
Journal Contributor
“I’m sorry. I am so
sorry for your loss.”
My
friends
from
Norway,
the
United
Kingdom
and
France
said to me as I assume
my seat in class. Here in
Paris, France where I am
currently an exchange
student, it’s rainy and gray
once again, but today the
feeling of somber fits the
tone of the day too well.
I didn’t come from a
funeral or find out about
a death in my family.
It’s Nov. 9, 2016 and I
woke up for class to the
official results of the
United States Presidential
Election. For the U.S.
some would see this event
as a curse, others viewed
it as a blessing. Shocking
for all, though, as this
man with no political
or military background
could and would be
taking the position of the
most recognized leader in
the world.
Before
heading
to
school, I contemplated
on taking a mental health
day, fearing that I would
stick out too much in
the crowded streets of
Paris and hallways of my
school as an American.
Nonetheless, I dressed in
all black, in solidarity and
mourning as an attempt
to blend in to the crowd
the best that I could, and
headed to class.
I was greeted with
not only condolences,
but confusion upon my
arrival at school Because
it has become understood
worldwide that America
has possibly made one
of the biggest mistakes
in history electing a
president with so much
baggage, an unspecified
campaign
and
what
some might consider to
be extremist views the
United States has worked
so hard to sweep under
the rug.
Sitting in class, I
was faced with not only
attempting to keep the
tears out of my eyes, but
to attempt to explain how
the events that unfolded
last night are actually
even possible. This class
of 25 students represents
16 different countries,
from Australia, to Dubai,
Norway, India, China, The
West Sahara, Nigeria,
South
Korea,
Mexico
and Lebanon to name
just a few of the places
my
fellow
classmates
call home. In addition
to being surrounded by
people from every corner
of the globe in this class,
I am surrounded by
just about every major
religion. The thought of
facing my peers knowing
that my home had elected
someone to lead whose
ideas are rooted in
separation of nationality
and religion made me
nauseous. As one can
assume, the second the
few Americans arrive into
Mexico?”
“Are you nervous about
his ideas on bombing ISIS
and his close friendship
with Russia?”
“Are
you
worried
about your rights as a
woman?”
As a 20-year-old female
identifying as a liberal
democrat, I answered
the questions without
being biased to the best
of my ability, despite the
sadness and heartache I
was feeling.
Truthfully,
starting
this period that will be
full of uncertainty while
living on the other side of
the pond I am distraught. I
have never felt so divided
in my feelings as to where
I should physically be in
this world.
Wishing to be home,
standing
beside
my
friends as they make
The America

class the questions come
flooding in.
“How is this possible?”
“Did
you
support
Trump?”
“I wanted to visit
America next summer but
now I am worried that it
will be unsafe for me as a
Mexican, do you have any
idea of what changes will
take place?”
“Isn’t he going to trial
for possible rape and
sexual assault?”
“Did he really say all of
those horrible things?”
“How can it be okay
that he doesn’t want
Muslims entering the
country?”
“Is he actually going
to follow through with
building the wall between
the United States and
their voices heard in
protest and to be in my
mother’s arms as I watch
my rights as a woman be
possibly removed just as
I have reached the age
where they are becoming
important to exercise.
Yet, being in Paris I felt
safe and a weird sense
of comfort surrounded
by people who didn’t
identify as American but
could relate to my fear
due to their own personal
past experiences. Fears
of being oppressed as
a woman, what could
happen to my friends
and family back home
who identify as LGBT,
Muslim or any minority
and what the future could
hold because so much is
uncertain has not only
clouded my mind, but the
minds of my peers.
They have stressed
to me that this decision
to raise someone who is
inexperienced, sexist, a
leader of xenophobia, a
sexual predator, racist, a
dishonest
businessman
and
oppressor
of
minorities to the highest
pedestal of leadership
communicates
that
Americans
are
doing
this only with personal
interest in mind lacking
all knowledge of the
progress that has been
made.
This is no longer just
about the United States,
this seriously affects the
entire world because of
how strong the United
States has become in the
past 100 years.
The heartbreak that
has settled deep into my
chest has also settled with
feelings of distance and
helplessness.
The
sort
of
helplessness that you’re
standing on the shore,
watching your beloved
ship sink while being
completely incapable of
saving anyone.
Here I am in Paris,
standing
an
ocean
away from my family
and friends and being
completely
unable
to
experience and relate to
the future events that may
tear my home country
apart. The only action I
can take is to be hopeful
that things will get better
and to make my voice
heard over social media.
I hope people in the
United States will make
their voices heard as
loud as possible, stand
together and not give up
this fight we may be in
for the next four years.
This day will be forever
engraved in my mind as
a day of heartache and
helplessness.
These
feelings
of
impending
burdens,
especially
that
of
helplessness, will rest in
the back of our minds and
continue to haunt those
of us who left the country
for an exchange program.
The America we will be
returning to in June will
not be the same America
we left in September.

On Monday, Suffolk
University students got
an in-depth look at life
in Kim Jong Un’s North
Korea, one of the world’s
most secretive countries.
Weigi Zhang, Suffolk
University
Assistant
Professor of Government
with a focus on political
science, gave insight about
his experience voyaging
through
North
Korea
during an installment of
the WorldBoston lecture
series. He spoke of his
journey to North Korea
in May of 2015. He stayed
for three days and four
nights. His goal for the
trip was to learn about
North Korean culture and
the way of living there.
North Korea has long
been regarded as a “high
danger” place to travel
to under the communist
regime of Kim Jong Un,
during the governmental
conflict between North
and
South
Korea,
according to Zhang.
There was a strict set
of rules that he was forced
to follow while on a tour.
The most critical rule
forbade any individual
from disrespecting leaders
or the regime itself. If
an individual failed to
comply, the North Korean
government
would
imprison them.
“The
tour
guides
did
their
best
to
accommodate our needs.”
said Zhang. “Unlike in
many other countries,
it was impossible for
visitors to be attacked
by local people because
of the protection of the
guides.”
They
were
given
additional rules, which
included
photography
restrictions. No pictures
could be taken the statues
of the country’s leaders.
Photos of these statues
could not be taken from
a close angle. In addition,
photos of soldiers were
not permitted. Despite
the
restrictions
on
photography, Zhang took
one anyway.
Traveling from one
town to the next was
complicated
because
soldiers were stationed
at certain locations that
serve as checkpoints. At
North Korean customs,
an officer had to mark
down what technological
devices, such as phones
and
cameras,
an
individual entering North
Korea had, Zhang said.
“For me it was easy,
the tour guide would
get out and explain to a
soldier our situation, but
for a regular individual,
it would be harder,” said
Zhang.
He
explained
that if he did not travel
with a tour, he would
have needed to obtain
a different travel visa in
order to enter each town.
Zhang
noted
the
importance of a tour

Suffolk
University’s
weekly
Muslim
Conversations
group
directed their discussion
toward the presidential
election
results
on
Thursday.
The group was joined
by University’s Chaplain
Amy Fisher.
An
international
student, who wished to
remain anonymous, from
the United Arab Emirates
(UAE), joined the group.
He said that people from
the UAE followed the
U.S. election closely, with
friends and family who
messaged him as the
results came in to get his
reactions.
Meryem
Bakati,
a
sophomore at Suffolk
and leader of the Muslim
Conversations
group,
addressed
PresidentElect Trump’s proposed
Muslim American registry
during the meeting last
week, a plan that drew
comparisons
to
Nazi
Germany’s
anti-Semitic
policies
from
several
critics.
“I’m not going to play
his games,” Bakati said at
the meeting. “I already
have a Social Security
Number.”
Bakati
is
one
of
the million of MuslimAmericans
registered
to vote in this year’s
presidential
election,
according to the U.S.
Council
of
Muslim
Organizations.
The
USCMO’s One America
Campaign,
started
in
December of 2015 and
reportedly attributed to
doubling the number
of registered MuslimAmerican voters since the
2012 elections, passing
their goal of one million.
Bakati expressed her
concern
that
Muslim
voices in the U.S. would
fall silent under PresidentElect Trump, and that
values
and
traditions
would be set aside out of
fear. She cited the hijab,
a traditional headscarf
worn by Muslim women,
as an example.
“I’m afraid people are
going to take off their
headscarves,” she said.
“I’ll never take it off. This
is who I am.”
Last week, the Detroit
Free Press reported that
a University of Michigan
student removed her hijab
when a man threatened
to set her on fire if she
did not comply.
This
incident
occurred a day after a
post by the Southern
Poverty Law Center, an
Suffolk professor presents

guide in North Korea.
The tour guide, in his
opinion meant to take
care of the group, which
is a thankless job. On
average, a tour guide gets
paid 30,000 Korean Won
per day, which is roughly
equivalent to $30 USD.
Since North Korea is an
industrialized country, a
textile worker makes the
most money, according
to Zhang, which is on
average 63,000 Korean
Won, roughly $62 USD.
Zhang
thoroughly
enjoyed the food that he
ate at various restaurants
and noted how flavorful
it was. Traditional Korean
cuisine largely consists
of rice, vegetables and
meats;
however,
the
cuisine of North Korea is
slightly different than that
of South Korea. The taste
of North Korean food is
described, by Zhang, as
juicier and less spicy than
South Korean dishes that
focus on seasoning and
cater to savory palettes.
Kimchi is a traditional
Korean dish that Zhang
got the chance to try. It
consists of fermented
vegetables, cabbage and
Korean radishes in a brine
of garlic, ginger, scallions
and
chili
peppers.
According
to
Zhang,
guides are also paid with
rations of cabbage so
that they can eat kimchi
frequently.
Domestic life in North
Korea is patriarchal. The
father of the household
will often receive a
separate meal during
supper which is often
better than what the rest
of the household eats,
according to Zhang.
“Korean leaders are
often referred to as the
father of the society,” said
Zhang. “Mistreating or
disrespecting the father
or leader is social taboo.”
This take on domestic
roles within a household
is tied to Confucianism,
a theory that focuses on
hierarchy and order, said
Zhang.
Confucianism
is embedded in North
Korean culture. After
visiting, Zhang gathered
that this theory is applied
so that Korean leaders can
strengthen their absolute
authority over society.
The next WorldBoston

on Dec. 8 in the Suffolk
University Law building
from 6pm to 7:30pm.

dedicated
to the illumination of
hate crimes and bigotry,
stating
200
incidents
of “hateful harassment
and intimidation” were
reported
across
the
country. According to the
report, more than 20 of
these incidents were antiMuslim in nature.
In an interview with 60
Minutes
correspondent
Lesley Stahl, PresidentElect Trump addressed
a number of topics,
including
a
rise
in
reported
hate
crimes
and harassment directed
at minority groups and
individuals. When asked,
he claimed to be “very
surprised” to hear about
the rise of incidents
across the country.
“I saw one or two
instances,” he said. “Well,
I think it’s a very small
amount.”
Donald Trump Jr. and
the rest of the PresidentElect’s immediate family
joined the interview in its
latter half. He defended
his father, calling into
question the authenticity
of the public’s concerns.
“I think the fears, you
know, while they may be
there, some fabricated,
some not, are totally
unfounded,” the younger
Trump said.
According to a 2010
Pew
Research
Center
study, only 9 percent of
Americans claim to know
a great deal about Islam,
with 30 percent claiming
no knowledge whatsoever.
A
2014
Pew
report
states that 47 percent of
Americans do not know
a member of the Muslim
faith. The study also says
that favorable views of
a religion are associated
with acquaintances from
the given faith.
Fisher
and
Bakati
both advocated for the
education of Americans
through
Muslim
acquaintances.
“Sadly, the education
of

falls
to
Muslims,” Fisher said.
Bakati does not find
questions
about
her
faith rude, she said. She
invites all questions in
hopes to breed better
understanding
among
students
and
other
Americans in general.
“Ask me why I am in
this religion,” Bakati said.
“Ask me why I wear my
hijab. Ask me anything.”

Suffolk University’s “Margo Veil” is hilarious, emotional, raw and a must-see

Felicity Otterbein
Arts Editor
Amidst a swirl of
lights and color, Suffolk
University’s
latest
production “Margo Veil,”
held its final week of
rehearsal before opening
Thursday Nov. 17. at the
Modern Theater.
Margo
Veil, Sarah
Vasilevsky, is an aspiring
actress who is in the midst
of a tour of a terrible
play. Coached through
her life decisions by two
narrators, Andrea Royo
and Erica Lundin, acting
as her verbal conscience
and/or little voice inside
her head, she becomes
romantically
involved
with playwright Arthur
Vine, Ma’Chel Martin,
who is a huge proponent
of using the service Big
Betty, Annalise Fosnight,
which enables people
to switch bodies with
another human being on
the earth.
Both Margo and Arthur
partake in the event after
they commit a murder
and want to escape the
police. Margo inhabits a
Felicity Otterbein / Arts Editor
blind girl from Lithuania,
Ruta, Erica Wisor, and
Arthur becomes famed
actor Edgar LeStrange,
Matt Bittner, who suffers
from memory loss but
seems to take on his
critically acclaimed role
of poisoner.
What is interesting
about this performance
is that its 36-member
strong cast has the ability
to showcase multiple
different characters in
a single show. Each cast
member is given the
opportunity to shine as
someone else besides
their main character.
Vasilevsky played
on Margo’s naivety and
innocence
and
truly
brought another level to
the performance, doing
exceptionally well along
side of Martin’s Arthur.
The pair had a great stage
presence and demanded
attention when delivering
the plot.
The narrator’s Royo
and Lundin were perfect
with their onstage flirting
and giggling between each
other. Their meddling
within the plot line
generated laughs with
dark and dry humor. Matt
Bittner’s
performance
as Edgar LeStrange was
captivating from start
to finish. His portrayal
of LeStrange and his
interactions
amongst
the rest of the cast was
mesmerizing. The entire
performance was entirely
well done and flawless.
With
such
a
complicated and intense
plot line, the characters
truly sold the nature of
the story. A Len Jenkin
play, the performance
shows just how messy
life can get in the blink
of a dream sequence.
The interweavings of the
numerous stories within
stories mixes in with
the overarching story,
establishing the idea of
illusion mingling with
reality. Ultimately serving
an incredibly detailed and
complex tale of mischief,
magic
and
managing
to get through it all
unscathed.
Director Wesley Savick
hopes that the show acts
as an escape for Suffolk
students who are still
reeling from the antics
provided by the most
recent election. Margo
Veil is Savick’s third Len
Jenkin production.
“It’s a celebratory play,”
Savick told The Suffolk
Journal in a post-show
interview. “Imagination,
theatricality,
and
wonder. Those forces
are rejuvenating for a
partially broken spirit.
Suffolk students have
certain feelings regarding
the election.”
“[This show] is a sense
of wonder, which is a
great environment to
be welcomed into,” said
Savick.
Production
manager
Jim
Bernhardt
acknowledged that the
show is unique and
challenging.
“It’s
an
ambitious piece, it only
runs 75 minutes and
the majority of the 36
performers are playing
multiple roles,” he said.
“We’re very excited.”

“A Letter to My Nephew”
Felicity Otterbein
Arts Editor
When contemporary
art is discussed, with
it comes a undeniable
stigma.
An
aura
of
superiority and an air
of high intelligence is
instilled.
It can be considered
a
minority
in
the
entertainment industry,
compared to attendances
to
world
renowned
museums of fine art such
as the Louvre in Paris or
the National Galleries in
London.
What some people
must understand is that
contemporary art is a
concept that is incredibly
artist-perspective driven.
Anything
an
artist
creates is not always for
a designated audience,
but rather its purpose
serves the artist and their
experiences.
In the case of “A Letter
to My Nephew,” the latest
production of awardwinning
choreographer
Bill
T.
Jones,
the
experience
portrayed
stems from the roller
coaster of a life led by a
gay man, Jones’ nephew,
Lance T. Briggs. Briggs
is presently paralyzed
from the waist down after
leading a life involving
drugs and prostitution
at a very young age.
This piece conveys the
emotions that arise from
a letter from his uncle
during
his
nephew’s
hospitalization.
“This is what I call
an ancillary work,” said
Jones in a recent phone
interview with The Suffolk
Journal prior to the
show. “I am working on
a trilogy which is inspired
by reading a novel by
a great German writer,
W. G. Sebald called “The
Emigrants.”
According
to
Jones, the novel used
extremely
personal
and
autobiographical
information,
which
resulted in his inspiration
to create a series of works
which used people from
his own life-- including
his mother-in-law and
nephew.
This performance was
originally conceived a year
ago just before the dance
company was about to do
a European tour. After
learning about the fateful
attacks that occurred in
France in early November
of last year, the tour that
was destined to travel
around Europe was cut
short, despite its origins
in Paris.
“I wanted to bring a
piece there, to Europe,
and I spoke about first my
love for my nephew,” said
Jones. “The challenges
of being two black men
trying to talk honestly to
each other post-Ferguson,
trying to talk about world
affairs like the Syrian
refugee crisis, all while
being artists from the
West who make their
living by traveling to
various communities in
Europe and in the states.”
“[The
performance]
was supposed to be a
kind of tongue-in-cheek

happened since then, we
thought my nephew was
going to die,” said Jones.
“He did not die, he’s in a
wheelchair and is fighting
to be an independent and
productive person after a
life as a drug addict.”
Jones
spoke
with
regard to how the recent
election has affected this
work. “It does reflect this
particular moment that
we are in,” he said. In an
interview last week with
WBUR, Jones said that
this work is “site-specific,”
meaning that Jones takes
elements from each city
the show tours in and
alters the multimedia
aspect of the show.
In the piece, lines
are projected from the
letter onto the walls
of the theater, as well
as a giant square that
resembles a piece of
paper. Jones said he tried
to incorporate Boston
by referencing different
public
demonstrations,
as well as projecting onto
the dance “do you feel
safe?” when asking his
nephew if he felt safe in
Tampa, FL in the letter.
The piece itself is a
deeply emotional and
personal journey where
intense stimulation from
varying
dance
styles
are choreographed to
explosive sound tracks
creates an entirely new
experience. Dance styles
include hip-hop, modern
or even sometimes a
strange hybrid of these
dances.
The score is an eclectic
mix of classical, house
music, natural sounds
and songs popular in the
1920s, according to Jones.
The
work
referenced
politics and culture along
with a portrayal of the
relationship
between
Jones and his nephew.
“It’s like chess pieces,
my work, if you look at
it, you have to get in the
frame of mind that you’re
dealing with a puzzle,”
said Jones. “There’s a lot
of elements there that
have to be combined
and recombined. That’s
the pleasure of it. It’s a
collage, a collage that you
have to relax and give
yourself to.”
This is true, once the
audience had a chance
to settle into the spirited
performance, it became
clear that a story was
being woven together like
a tapestry, one strand and
one dance at a time.
Contemporary
art,
more specifically this
performance,
unites
and allows for a certain
freedom of expression
in the purest emotional
form whereas other forms
of media like painting or
spoken word would not
do the same justice to a
powerful experience. A
true emotional experience
was conveyed on the
stage at the Institute of
Contemporary Art.
Jones
is
currently
working
on
the
choreography for the
third and final installment
in his trilogy and said he
hopes to begin rehearsals
in the upcoming weeks.

Professor Cosgrove, in my opinion, was
spot on with his analysis that Donald

singular message (Make America Great

campaign was “at least I’m not him”.
Future candidates should take note that
running for President requires more

The fact Donald Trump went from a

Half the country kept quiet
By Patrick Holmes, Opinion Editor
The winner of the 2016 Presidential Election was announced in the early hours of Wednesday, Nov. 9 and since then, it feels as though
the world has been turned upside down. The Electoral College’s legitimacy has been both praised and denied due to the difference between
it and the Popular Vote. Oddly enough, each one favored a different candidate.
For the past week, it seems that the nation is more divided than we once thought, with Secretary Hillary Clinton winning the popular
vote by more than 100 thousand votes. People seem to forget the looming statistic of how many eligible Americans did not vote: 100 million,
according to the Washington Post. That number is close to how many eligible Americans did vote: 132 million.
According to the Pew Research Center, the United States voter turnout is one of the lowest in the developed world.
Is the nation as divided as we think?
It is time to stop protesting something we cannot control. It is time to talk to legislators, vote in local
elections and re-establish the Senate and the House. Stand up for what you believe in but do not focus
on just one leader. The Senate and the House are just as important as the president.
It is uncertain to who the non-voters would have chosen as the preferred candidate, but they could have easily made a difference in the
election if they went out and cast their ballots.
With that said, the current anti-Trump protests are a little too late as he was fairly crowned President-Elect. Although I voted for and
support Clinton, Donald Trump was chosen but the Electoral College, a system put in place by the Founding Fathers, which seems to never
have been spoken about as a problem until this recent election.
There were similar protests when Barack Obama was first elected president but not to the extreme of President-Elect Trump, where tens
of thousands of people, mostly students, have been orchestrating walkouts in urban areas.
It does not, however, seem that we are as divided as a nation as the media has portrayed. Whether we choose to believe it or not, the
media, including social media, can sway people to think a certain way. Especially with this past election, the media made both sides look
bad, swaying voters one way or another.

Editor’s Word
Post-election events have
seen a string of reactions
from universities across the
nation. Many students in
the United States, as well
as those studying abroad,
have felt the shake of the
silent majority rock the
nation into a shocking, and
otherwise, unexpected win for
the president-elect Donald
Trump. For The Suffolk
Journal, we look to those who
were involved in this such
silent community of voters
and students.
In no way will The Journal
censor an opinion article
or letter to the Editor that
looks to display support
that does not align with
the majority of our readers’
views. Instead, we encourage
it.
Clearly, from the results
of this election, the silent
majority has thought that
they have not been able
to project their voice for a
number of reasons that were
spoken on after the results
came through in the early
hours last Wednesday and
arguably shown in those
results.
The Journal asks you, the
Suffolk community, to now
submit pieces and letters
to our editorial board
for publication. We The
Journal, and the nation,
need your voice now more
than ever.
Alexa Gagosz,
Editor-in-Chief
O
In a nation
The Founding
divided by politics, Fathers did it right
we need unity
Letter to the Editor
From ELECTION page 9
It is worth saying that
the media has portrayed
only the extreme Trump
supporters who embody
all of his rhetoric. There’s
also something to be said
about the people the
media does not show;
those are the ones who
make up the majority
of Americans. The ones
that receive airtime are
often epitomes of the
stereotype.
Also, with close to half
the nation not casting
their vote, there is no
way to tell how divided
our nation is, since we
do not know half of their
opinion. We only know of
the ones who speak out
and make their voices
heard which cannot be
assumed as the majority.
Without
the
statistic
involving the majority of
the country, it is hard to
say which candidate is
genuinely more liked.
So, what’s next?
It is time to stop
protesting something we
cannot control. It is time
to talk to legislators, vote
in local elections and
re-establish the Senate
and the House. Stand up
for what you believe in
but do not focus on just
one leader. The Senate
and the House are just
as important as the
president.
It would be wise for
the other half of the
nation to start speaking
out and sharing their
opinions so we do not
seem so divided. What
is stopping you all from
saying something?
Understandably, many
citizens don’t enjoy talking
about politics or this past
election. However, this
was the time for everyone
to join together and unify
with their parties to elect
a candidate the country
would be happy with. As
of right now, the country
does not seem unified.
But again, 100 million
citizens did not vote.
This is not an accurate
representation on the
division
within
our
country.
The 2016 presidential
election is behind us
and many are surprised
– some disappointed and
others jubilant. Criticism
of the Electoral College
by both sides has become
the bold new national
sentiment. Surely, it is
antiquated.
Surely,
it
must go. Surely, we can
do better.
And we can!
The Founding Fathers
were not so terribly amiss
as many may think. Sure
we are a larger expanse
of nation, geographywise and we are more
populated than the late
1800s, but the Electoral
College mechanism still
works. So why did one
presidential
candidate
(Hillary) win a majority
of popular votes and the
other candidate (Trump)
seem to steal the election?
The culprit is not the
Electoral College itself.
Rather, our stumbling
arises out of the All-orNothing approach we
take when we tally the
popular votes and convert
them into Electoral Votes
suitable for the Electoral
College
result.
The
Electoral College does not
need to be replaced.
Equal Voice Voting
offers
the
best
of
solutions
without
requiring a Constitutional
amendment. It is a simple
formula that converts a
state’s popular votes into
proportional
electoral
votes that hew closely to
the popular vote,. It does
not disenfranchise voters
and it gives each state its
independent voice, honors
the Founding Fathers’
intent and acknowledges
the this nation’s diverse
cultures, peoples, values
and priorities.
It is time to initiate
legislation on a state-bystate basis so our votecapturing system elicits a
confidence that translates
into a continued pride of
our country. The exercise
of our Electoral College
can be a source of such
confidence if we simply
modify how we count
everyone’s vote. Contact
your legislators and ask
that they give Equal
Voice Voting their strong
consideration.

requirements
for
the
core curriculum and two
majors becomes hard
when departments only
offer one class for a course.
The timing of classes
can often conflict with
one another, so fulfilling
certain
requirements
must be postponed. There
are students who are
faced with the possibility
of graduating later than
expected because they
have been misinformed
about what classes they
should take and when.
This
is
where
it
becomes important to map
out the years in advance.
The Undergraduate Office
of Academic Advising
can be very helpful with
mapping out the courses
over the years. They help
students by giving them
the tools and skills to
develop effective longterm plans.
There might be some
argument that declaring a
minor is the easier thing
to do, but that minor
is not reflected on the
degree. Declaring a double
major has students taking
a few more classes than
they would a minor, but
the workload of a double
major is the same as any
other student.
There are many great
things to come out of this
choice. During the course
of the four years of the
undergraduate program,
a double major allows
students to learn with a
variety of classmates that
they will share classes
with more than once. This
is a prime example of a
networking opportunity
that students can utilize
while
receiving
their
education.
Having
access
to
two departments has its
benefits as well. Professors
are not only teachers
in the classroom, they
can be valuable mentors
outside as well. Being
able to visit professors
in their offices affords
students the opportunity
to receive advice on their
career paths. Professors at
Suffolk also have careers
outside higher education,
therefore they can give
students
opportunities
in such fields that would
be finely tuned for the
individual student that
pursues two majors.
Being
a
double
major in English and
Government myself, I
have had the pleasure of
becoming friends with
not only my classmates
but with the professors
of
both
departments.
My
degree
teaches
me
the
complexities
of
government
and
language. It reinforces my
ability to make persuasive
arguments by effectively
using facts to bolster my
opinions.
Double majors provide
the
rare
opportunity
to expand one’s mind
further than one major
can allow, which not many
people have the chance to
do. They allow students
once they graduate to
go down a career path
with a background in
two disciplines. This wellrounded
background
allows people to change
career paths as well,
which is especially useful
in a time when people
will not be sticking to one
job for the rest of their
lives anymore.
Double major? Double the benefits
Nathan Espinal
Journal Staff
Two for the price of
one deals are always
great, so go for a double
major degree.
Some students enter
college knowing which
major to choose, while
other students take a
couple semesters to try
out courses to find what
calls to them. Sometimes
it is during that searching
period that one will find
two majors that appeal
to them and choose to
pursue a double major.
Suffolk
University
gives
students
ample
opportunity to go for a
double major. All one
needs is approval from
two professors from the
departments of the majors
to be chosen and approval
from the College of Arts
and Sciences Assistant
Dean Sharon Lenzie.
There
are
some
challenges that will turn
up in pursuing a double
major.

U.S. Army veteran goes the distance
S
Brooke Patterson
Asst. Sports Editor
David Campisano, 34,
joined the United States
Army back in Sept. 2001,
prior to his attendance
at
Suffolk
University.
Transitioning
to
the
university was not an easy
task for the Army veteran.
He said he was honored
to not only attend Suffolk,
but also compete for the
cross country team.
“It is difficult to talk
about the transition,” said
Campisano in an interview
with The Suffolk Journal.
“I have been fortunate
where I was discharged
and transitioned right
into college. I feel so
lucky how the timing
worked out perfectly and
the people I have met
have made a huge impact
on my life.”
Campisano, a junior
at the university, started
running cross country,
but said he was unsure
of how the whole sport
worked. Campisano said
he knew it was a matter of
running fast and winning.
The Staff Sergeant (SSG),
E-6 rank in the U.S. Army
never actually won a race
that he competed in, but
he did obtain several
personal records. At the
start of the season he
finished races at a time
of 30:28, but as the
season progressed, and
Campisano competed in
the Greater Northeast
Atlantic
Conference
(GNAC)
Championship,
he found himself with a
personal record of 28:48.
As a young boy, cross
country was not on
Campisano’s mind, but
joining the U.S. Army
was. He began his basic
training 16 years ago at
Fort Benning, Ga.
“I was getting my first
military ID photo taken
when the first plane hit
the World Trade Center.”
said Campisano.
“I
remember it like it was
yesterday, I knew I was
going to war.”
Later
on
in
his
military career, in 2008,
Campisano was selected
to compete for the All
-Army Triathlon team
in California. He later
attended the U.S. Army
Airborne School, Ranger
School and eventually
found himself in Iraq.
“When
I
returned
from Iraq, I decided I
wanted to be a Green
Beret and spent two years
Courtesy of David Campisano
in the Special Forces
Qualification
Course
where I learned Spanish,
attended
Survival
Evasion, Resistance and
Escape School (SERE-C)
and went to the Special
Forces Communications
Course,” said Campisano.
“I didn't graduate because
I hurt my back jumping
out of planes and had to
leave the Army.”
On Aug. 1, 2016
Campisano
was
discharged from the Army,
and is no longer on active
duty. He sent an email
to Douglas Peterson, an
associate
registrar
at
Suffolk University, who
then helped him make his
choice to attend Suffolk.
“Everyone
has
been so helpful. I feel
extremely lucky to have
the privilege to be a
student and an athlete
here,” said Campisano. “I
wish the students here
could understand the
opportunities they have
and take advantage of it.”
Campisano said he had
to make the change from
being an active member
in the military to being a
student athlete. He said
how he was so accustomed
to living a structured life
that when he joined the
cross country team some
things came as a shock to
him.
“When I look around
Suffolk, in my classes and
on the cross country team
I see the same faces I see
that joined the Army,”
he said. “The difference
is that rifles were issued
instead of books.
Campisano was used
to receiving instructions
and executing them in
a disciplined manner.
Because
he
was
so
accustomed to this sort
of lifestyle, he said how
it made it easier for
him to adapt to having
a coach and following
his instructions. Being a
part of a team was a new
aspect in Campisano’s
life, but he explained how
meeting up with his team
at the Charles River for
practices was one of the
best parts of this season.
“We would all sit on
the bleachers and discuss
what we thought Coach
Peterson’s work out was
going to be,” he said.
“Coach
would
always
have us do a ten minute
warm-up run before our
actually main work out,
and we all just shoot the
breeze and talk about our
day. It was kind of
therapeutic.”
Campisano compared
how he served as a
member in the military to
being a student athlete.
“You have to be in
better than average shape
to be in the Army Infantry
and
attend
advanced
training, like the Special
Forces,” he said. “You
train daily to become a
better soldier just like you
run daily doing specific
training to become a
better runner.”
Key members from
both the women’s and
men’s cross country teams
sustained
devastating
injuries
earlier
this
season, but Campisano
remained hopeful and is
also optimistic for next
year.
“We are a young
team and we need more
athletes to run with
us,” he said. “Hopefully
recruiting goes well in the
Courtesy of Suffolk Athletics
off season and we have
more athletes to compete
next year.”
Campisano is not a
member of the team that
just shows up. Whether it
is in practice or during a
race, he strives to do well.
“I want to win,” he
said. “I go into every
practice and race with
that same mentality. I'm
aware what is realistic
and what is not, but my
goal is to win.”

The Globies celebrate Boston’s best
Skylar To / Sports Editor
Skylar To
Sports Editor
A sell-out crowd of
“1,000 strong” got to see
David “Big Papi” Ortiz
walk off one more time
with another win.
Well, four wins as
Ortiz was honored with
four hardware wins at The
Boston Globe’s second
annual “The Globies,”
which was held at House
of Blues in Boston on
Monday night.
“Every time I take
that field, I want to
give everything I have,
because of you guys,”
Ortiz said on his first win
of the night as he was
voted by fans as the Red
Sox MVP, to the crowd.
"It’s all about the sports.
I really appreciate you
Boston.”
Fans also selected Ortiz
for Best Moment, Boston
Pride and Athlete of the
Year.
Former
Boston
Police Commissioner Ed
David, who presented the
Boston Pride award with
Former Mayor Thomas
Menino’s wife Angela,
said that Ortiz is one
player in particular to
help Boston believe and
that he will always be a
part of Boston Pride.
“This
city
means
everything to me,” said
Ortiz. “I’ll try to do good
things around here.”
By his third and fourth
time walking on the stage
to receive his last two
awards, he chuckled and
said he was running out
of things to say.
The
Globies,
presented by MercedesBenz, is a collaboration
between Fenway Sports
Management, the New
England Sports Network
(NESN) and The Boston
Globe, hosted by NESN
sportscaster and anchor
Tom Caron. The Globies is
now an annual event that
celebrates New England
professional and collegiate
sports
teams
from
recognizing
“newbies”
to locals to the faces of
Boston’s
professional
sports teams and their
accomplishments
in
“the best sports city in
America.”
After sports editors
of The Boston Globe did
extensive reviewing of
statistics and plays of July
2015-16, Caron said that
thousands of people got
the job done by voting
for athletes deserving of
the award category. The
Globies has categorized
18 awards this year from
“Team Most Valuable
Player” (MVP) to “Good
Sport” to “Boston Pride.”
Besides
fans,
who
counted on athletes and
sports teams to get the
job done, Caron said that
the fans themselves get
the job done as they go to
games, believe in Boston’s
sports teams and stay up
late for games.
“Boston
Strong
continues to resignate
so deep in our city,”
said Caron to the crowd.
“Nobody represents us
better than our teams.”
The results for Team
MVP revealed that fans
selected New England
Revolution Midfielder Lee
Nguyen, New England
Patriots
Quarterback
Tom
Brady,
Boston
Celtics Point Guard Isaiah
Thomas
and
Boston
Bruins Center Patrice
Bergeron. Caron said that
the team’s MVP outwork
everyone else and did
their job the best.
Brady, Thomas and
Bergeron were not in
attendance
to
accept
their awards. However,
Thomas and Bergeron
thanked their teammates
and fans in a video that
aired under the Globies
display at center stage.
Thompson and the Celtics
return to TD Garden on
Wednesday after a twogame road trip. Bergeron
and the Bruins are on the
road until Saturday.
The
Globe
also
highlighted Boston’s best
moments. In his final
season in the MLB, Ortiz
recorded his 500th home
run, the Celtics ended the
Golden State Warriors
winning streak and the
Patriots
raised
their
fourth
championship
banner.
And, Atsede Baysa,
who won her first Boston
Marathon in 2016, gave
her trophy to Bobbi Gibb.
Gibb was the first woman
to finish the Boston
Marathon in 1966, 1967
and 1968 and she was
never recognized with a
trophy of her own. In a
video, Gibb said she is so
moved by Baysa, who was
recognized for her good
sportsmanship, love and
generosity. Gibb also said
she will return the trophy
to Baysa after her one
year with the trophy loan
concludes. Baysa and Gibb
were not in attendance.
Another athlete who
was
recognized
for
good
sportsmanship
was Abbey D’Agostino.
Massachusetts
native
D’Agostino
and
Nikki
Hamblin of New Zealand
both fell during a 5,000
meter race at the Rio
Olympics and they both
helped each other to cross
the finish line. D’Agostino
sustained a season-ending
injury to her right knee- an anterior cruciate
ligament and meniscal
tear and a strained medial
collateral ligament.
During her acceptance
and thank you speech,
D’Agostino said that: “It’s
clear that we are drawn
to selflessness and love.”
She added that many
individuals were a part of
her story, which makes it
special.
D’Agostino
along
with
local
Olympians
and paralympians were
recognized
for
their
participation and Boston
and
New
England
representation in the Rio
Olympics, which was held
in August of 2016.
Bob Cousy, as known
as
“Mr.
Basketball,”
was presented with the
Lifetime
Achievement
Award by Massachusetts
Attorney General Maura
Healey for his work
fighting for racial and
social justice. Cousy, a
former Celtic point-guard,
created
the
National
Basketball
Association
(NBA) Union and led the
union as president for
seven years.
On
Cousy,
Healey
said there is no greater
playmaker than Cousy.
Healey, who has had a
love for the game since
she was nine-years-old,
said she honored Cousy
throughout her whole
basketball
career
by
wearing “9” on her jersey.
Becca Pizzi, a Belmont,
Mass.
native,
was
recognized
for
being
the first U.S. woman
to complete the World
Marathon
Challenge.
Pizzi completed seven
marathons in seven days
in seven continents. She
competed and won every
race in Antarctica, Punta
Arenas, Chile; Miami,
Florida; Madrid, Spain;
Marrakesh,
Morocco;
Dubai,
United
States
Emirates; and Sydney,
Australia. She completed
seven
marathons
in
27 hours, 26 minutes
and 15 seconds. AT&T
Representative
Peter
Nixon
presented
the
AT&T Coverage Around
The World Award to Pizzi.
Pizzi said to the crowd
that it is an honor to
be here among Boston
Sports elite. She wants
to be an example to her
eight-year-old daughter
that anything is possible
if you believe in yourself.
“You rallied for me,
you made me Boston
Strong,” said Pizzi.
Like
Caron
said,
individuals are continuing
to change lives through
sports such as Pete Frates
raising awareness about
amyotrophic
lateral
sclerosis through the ice
bucket challenge and
Liam
Fitzgerald,
“the
Bruins fist-bump kid,” a
cancer survivor.
“They are using sports
to make the world a
better place,” said Caron.
The Globies will be
televised on Friday at 8
p.m. on NESN.

Eyes on America
Campaigns cause discourse with
Suffolk’s international community
By Jacob Geanous
The fanfare surrounding the 2016 election
has stirred up a media frenzy that has magnified
the United States’ partisan personality. American
citizens have vocalized their election opinions
vehemently, but a conversation within the global
community has been provoked as well. This is the
first presidential election that most international
students, embedded in the U.S., have experienced.
Living in the country during such a polarizing
time has made a strong impression on the
international student population, calling into
question western politics and the U.S. democratic
system as well.
“As an international student, this is my first
time witnessing the election process,” said Rana
Tarabzouni, a junior International Economics
major from Saudi Arabia. “I didn’t expect the
presidential debates to be the way they are; I
expected candidates to present their policies and
persuade voters to vote for them. A big part of
this election has been all about ridiculing the
candidates of the opposing political party.”
An aspect of the election that has been
particularly eye-opening to these first time
spectators is the slew of primaries and caucuses

Dear Suffolk Students,
We hope you are settling into the semester and are
enjoying the new school year! This past weekend
the Student Government Association went on its
annual training retreat to prepare for this year.
While at the retreat, the committees met to set
their goals, we had an alumni panel to share their
experiences as leaders and we discussed what
is important for us as the SGA to do for you as
students. We want to make ourselves as available
to the student body as possible.
Please be sure to follow our social media and reach
out with issues or concerns, or even to make us
aware of anything going on.
The presidential search committee has been created
and will soon begin the process of choosing a new
president for Suffolk University. Student body
president, Sean Walsh, will provide updates to that
as they come so please follow us and look out for
those.
SGA holds its weekly general meetings in Somerset
B18 and they are open to everyone. We encourage
every member of the Suffolk community to join us
on Thursdays from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m.
If at any time you think that SGA can be of
assistance to you, please feel free to reach out.
You can email sga@suffolk.edu or reach out on
Twitter @SuffolkSGA, Facebook @SuffolkSGA and
follow us on Instagram @suffolksga.
We hope to see you all around campus, have a
great week!

Suffolk Law School
Dean Andrew Perlman
was named the Chair
of the American Bar
Association’s
(ABA)
Center for Innovation’s
Governing Council. The
Center, which was just
established this August,
was a concept proposed
by ABA’s Commission
on the Future of Legal
Studies. For Perlman, who
had previously served
as the Vice Chair of the
Commission, said that the
Commission completed its
work by listing a number
of recommendations in
its final report- one being
the Center.
Perlman, who said the
idea behind the center
was to support existing
efforts within the ABA
in order to innovate
how legal services are
delivered and accessed,
said he was honored to
be associated with the
new Center to come up
with new approaches to
legal services and looks
forward to bringing the
lessons back to the Suffolk
Law education.
The Center itself was
designed with ease of
use in mind, according
to Perlman. He explained
in detail several of the
Center’s
anticipated
projects, including an
online dispute resolution
project meant to avoid
lengthy
and
costly
legal battles in physical
courtrooms.
“We’re
finding
increasingly that many
people are going into
court
without
any
lawyers,” said Perlman
during an interview with
The Suffolk Journal in
his fourth floor office
on Monday morning. “In
fact, in many courthouses
around
the
country,
a significant majority
of people are going
into court without any
lawyers at all. What some
countries
have
been
experimenting with is
creating an online dispute
resolution platform so
people can resolve their
disputes entirely online.”
Perlman
explained
that this same method
was used in the private
sector as well and used
examples like PayPal and
eBay.
“[These
services]
have dispute resolution
services so if you have a
dispute, you can resolve
them entirely online,” said
Perlman. “The Center for
Innovation is now going
to support the efforts of
the judicial division of the
ABA who are partnered
with the New York State
Unified Court System in
building an online dispute
resolution platform to
resolve consumer debt
cases in New York.”
Perlman went on to
describe a few other
projects the Center has
planned, including what
he refers to as “legal
check-ups.”
“[The goal is] to create
an online tool, maybe a
website or an app, that
guides you through a
series of questions and
answers that leads you to
resources you might need
as a member of the public
in terms of getting you
the legal solutions that
you require.”
As
Chairman,
a
position
he
took
voluntarily, Perlman will
serve as a guiding hand
to “corral” those with
relevant legal expertise
into the same projects
and help streamline day
response clickers in the
classroom, he said that he
does not support the use
of laptops.
“What I really think
about is the extent to
which technology can
help lawyers deliver their
services as efficiently
and
effectively
as
possible,” said Perlman.
“For the most part, law
schools have not taught
students about the use of
technology and what tools
are out there, and what I
very much hope we can
do that’s different from
the way in which lawyers
have been trained in the
past is expose students
to technology and how it
can be used to improve
their work as lawyers.”
As Perlman will serve
as the head of the Center,
he hopes to bring back
some of those teachings

Lizette Rivera went
from being a child in a
single parent and lowincome household living
in an apartment in the
neighborhood of Chicago
as
a
minority.
The
community of Humble
Park where she was
located was primarily
Puerto Rican and she said
it maintained a high crime
rate. She later joined the
military when she was
22 and was deployed to
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba
in 2003- an experience
in her life that made her
realize that she was going
to choose helping people.
The
self-identified
latina of Puerto Rican
heritage accepted the
position of Director of
the Office of Diversity
Services in July. She
takes pride in her race
toward success after she
has faced a number of
obstacles through her
climb upward in her line
of work.
For when students feel
as though they do not
have a voice on campus,
Rivera said she will
serve as an amplifier and
advocate for all for both
diversity and inclusion.
“It’s so important to
allow people to identify
who
they
are
and
why those things are
important [to them],” said
Rivera.
According to Rivera,
most power figures do
not fit the description of
herself and that’s why she
is using her background
and position to her
advantage.
As college seemed
almost out of reach at the
time, the Bridge Transition
Program
in
Chicago
helped
her
originally
attend her undergraduate
in 1994 and then she later
continued to receive her
Master’s Degree in 2004
in Public Administration
and her Doctorate Degree
in 2016 in Education. In
2003, she decided after
being deployed that she
did not want to work for
the government.
With this new found
passion, Rivera accepted
her first job with a TRiO
Upward Bound program
at Richard J. Daley College
in Chicago in 2005.
Not having worked in
education before, she said
that they accepted her
based on her background
and expertise.
“I fell in love with
the idea of being a
mentor and a role model
and giving back to the
community and helping
other
students
who
struggled like me to show
them they can carry on,”
said Rivera, hinting to
the fact that this is what
working in Education
meant to her.
Some
students
at
Suffolk haven’t been so
lucky to see people of
all
backgrounds
hold
administrative positions
like Rivera does, according
to her. She explained that
a student walked into her
office and had said “Wow,
I want to be just like you.”
Rivera doesn’t take the
role of a mentor or role
model lightly-- “That’s a
huge responsibility,” she
said.
While she uses her
experiences as examples
and lessons to show
others who went through
the same obstacles that
she has before.
“It has made me a
strong advocate and I
really want to give back,”
she said.
“I wanted to come back
specifically for diversity
and to be an advocate
for all people who have
been marginalized,” said
Rivera, referring to herself
as being “a city girl” since
she is most familiar with
them. Growing up in
Chicago, she is used to
the fast-paced life that
the city has to offer.
Rivera stands by her
statement that she is here
for everyone at Suffolk
and students should feel
welcome coming to here
with anything they may
need.

OP-ED
Hillary scores, Trump flops, voters lose
Ian Kea
Journal Staff
Only 9 percent of the
United States population
voted to make Hillary
Clinton
and
Donald
Trump the nominees for
their respective parties.
Monday night the 91
percent that did not vote
in the primaries saw their
two statistical best chance
candidates for President.
Needless to say, the
result of the debate was
disappointing and the
American
population
has no one to blame but
themselves.
The night consisted
of multiple calls for fact
checks, name-calling and
virtual punches you could
easily imagine in action.
Trump and Hillary both
stumbled and fell into
each other’s traps. Clinton
started out poised and yet
broad claiming yet again
economic prosperity with
a job plan that creates
10 million jobs yet once
again fails to mention a
single detail.
Trump attacked and
Hillary laughed all night.
From taking credit for the
birther movement, calling
climate change a hoax as
well as including many
historical
inaccuracies,
Trump lit himself on fire.
The
first
example
of that is when Trump
was asked about the
birther movement and
his backtracking on the
issue. “What do you say
to
Americans,
people
of color who…” said
moderator Lou Holt. In
response, Trump stated,
“Well, it was very -- I say
nothing. I say nothing,
because I was able to get
him to produce it. He
should have produced it
a long time before. I say
nothing.” Trump single
handedly credited himself
for
finding
President
Obama’s birth certificate,
a feat that never involved
him at all.
He then went on
to joke about climate
change. Climate changes
are important because
they will severely impact
Boston, as well as many
other parts of the world,
as sea levels will rise
dramatically in 2050,
even to the point where
a proposed canal and
gondola rides in Back
Bay could be a legitimate
answer, according to Pri.
org. Boston is historically
built on wetland and
Logan
Airport
is
a
manmade
peninsula.
Boston will flood even
worse than New York City
according to the City of
Boston.
Donald
Trump’s
response
to
climate
change was according to
his twitter in 2012, “The
concept of global warming
was created by and for the
Chinese in order to make
U.S. manufacturing noncompetitive.” In January
he again admitted to
believing climate change
as a hoax again, stating,
“Well, I think the climate
change is just a very, very
expensive form of tax. A
lot of people are making
a lot of money. … I often
joke that this is done
for the benefit of China.
Obviously, I joke. But this
is done for the benefit
of China, because China
does not do anything
to help climate change.
They burn everything you
could burn; they couldn’t
care less.”
Even
after
these
exaggerated
responses,
Trump
went
on
to
reiterate that ISIS is the
biggest threat to America
and that it is Sec. Clinton’s
fault, yet he and Sec.
Clinton both supported
the initial Iraq war to
destabilize the Hussein
regime.
In the latter part of
the night Trump blamed
Obama for the Iraq
pullout of troops yet
that date was not made
by
President
Obama
rather President George
W. Bush. With NAFTA,
Trump criticized potential
first man and former
President Bill Clinton
on the disastrous trade
deal that was actually
negotiated and signed
by Republican President
George H. W. Bush.
Trump also attempted to
Donald Trump lied to the American
people at least 58 times during the first
presidential debate. (We counted.)
play up his shrewdness
by touting his small loan
from his father of only
one million dollars helped
aid his empire.
In fact it was actually
14 million dollars. What
small business gets a
small 14 million dollar
loan as a startup? Very
few if at all, none.
Trumped up trickle down
economics has a history
of being a loser. Reagan
raised the debt ceiling
18 times increasing the
debt so much it surpassed
a 67 percent increase.
Compare that to Obama
who has raised the ceiling
six times and has not
yet hit 40 percent. Let’s
also not forget that it is
Congress that has the
power of the purse.
Trump’s
tax
plan
proposed cuts from 35
percent to 15 percent for
businesses yet what he
fails to mention is that
the government would
lose revenue and that the
lost revenue would mean
a tax increase on the
dissolving middle class.
This trickle down theory
allows for the government
to incur more debt while
the middle class will lose
income.
Moreover,
what
both candidates fail to
realize is that without
a
strong
consumer
class, people cannot buy
products and when the
majority of people do
not buy products and or
food, nothing happens.
When nothing happens,
investors don’t invest
and thus we have the
recession of 2008 once
again.
Sec. Clinton, from a
policy standpoint won
this debate. She was
accurate with over 90
percent of her content,
yet again with her history
of lip flopping from
the TPP, gay marriage
and the Iraq War- her
word is not valued. Yet,
Trump is obviously the
much more uneducated
and
unrealistic
person to understand
the
complexities
of
government
and
implementation of them.
America has a loser
and it’s the voters.
Campaign Commentary
Potential vice presidents
no one is talking about
Maggie Randall
Journal Staff
With Nov. 8 creeping
up, it appears as if the
focus has largely been
on Republican nominee
Donald
Trump,
and
Democratic
nominee
Hillary Clinton. These
candidates, however, are
not running for president
all by themselves.
Clinton has selected
Virginia
Senator
Tim
Kaine
as
her
VicePresidential
nominee,
and Trump has selected
Governor of Indiana Mike
Pence.
Kaine and Pence are
more than just mere
fixtures in what has been
a tumultuous election
thus far.
Tim Kaine has been
serving as U.S. Senator
from Virginia since 2012.
Before that, Kaine served
as governor of Virginia
from 2006 to 2010. The
Senator’s time in office
has been relatively short
compared to that of his
running mate, Clinton,
who is considered a “lifelong politician.”
Kaine is an advocate
for women’s reproductive
rights,
supports
gun
control measures, believes
in
education
reform
as well as immigration
reform.
The question stands,
if Clinton could have
essentially chosen any
Democrat as her running
mate, why Senator Kaine?
The state of Virginia,
which has 13 electoral
votes, is considered a
swing state with Clinton
just barely ahead of
Trump
in
a
recent
poll
from
Quinnipiac
University.
Although Clinton did
well in the primaries in
Southern states, having
a running mate from the
South could help her win
those states again in the
general election.
Lastly,
and
most
importantly,
this
has
been one of the first
presidential
elections
to focus on winning the
“hispanic vote.” Kaine is
fluent in Spanish after
spending a year living
and working in Honduras
during his time in law
school.
Sophomore
Logan
Trupiano explained how
Clinton
likely
chose
Kaine simply for strategic
reasons.
“It makes me sad that
presidential
candidates
essentially pick their VP
on the basis of getting
elected,” Trupiano said.
Trupiano
also
suggested that Kaine can
run for office in a way
that Clinton cannot.
“Tim
Kaine
will
connect
with
voters
better than [Clinton].
Look, with women in
politics they have to play
by different rules than
men. They can’t come
off too strong or they’ll
be called ‘abrasive’ and
they can’t come off as too
soft or they’ll be labeled
weak,” he said.
In a selection process
that almost resembled
one of Trump’s pageants,
his choice of a running
mate was Mike Pence.
This choice surprised
some who had expected
Trump’s vice-presidential
choice to be a Republican
who had run against
Trump in the primaries,
such as New Jersey
Governor Chris Christie,
or
perhaps
former
Speaker of the House
Newt Gingrich.
Junior
Dan
Pelosi
said that Trump’s choice
of Pence as his vicepresident is one of the
best decisions he has
made in this election so
far.
“It was when Pence
was chosen that I decided
to
support
Trump,”
Pelosi explained. “I was
never a Trump fan for
a while, but he chose
a
small-government
conservative to balance
out
[Trump’s]
more
leftist views.”
Pence had served
as Congressman from
Indiana from 2000 to
2012. In 2012, Pence was
elected as Governor of
Indiana and is presently
serving in that position.
Pence
believes
in
providing
more
e m p l o y m e n t
opportunities
for
veterans. He has also
been a leader in the long
charge to defund Planned
Parenthood.
Pence
does not believe there
is credible evidence to
defend climate change.
As
a
candidate
who has largely run
as
a
self-proclaimed
“political outsider” in
this election, Trump
sought a running mate
who would help him
gain support from more
established politicians in
the Republican party. To
Trump, Pence was the
man to bring him into
the inner-circle.
“Pence is a calm,
collected
politician
who knows the issues
and can appeal to the
conservative base that
Trump can’t get,” said
Pelosi.
Trupiano
explains
that
some
vicepresidential candidates
could “make or break
elections,”
citing
McCain’s choice of Palin
as his running mate
in 2008 against Pres.
Obama.
To decide how Kaine
or Pence will make
this election for their
running mates can be
decided during the Vice
Presidential debate on
Oct. 4 at 9:00p.m. on
CBS.

that
slashed
more
than twenty presidential
candidates down to a
field of virtually two
contenders. The amount
of independence that each
state has, as well as our
delegate point system,
heavily contrasts what the
majority of international
electoral processes.
“I thought the voting
process would be fairer
during this phase. In
multiple cities across the
U.S., voters were denied
their rights to vote for
the silliest reasons,” said
Tarabzouni. “I think it
would be more democratic
if ‘superdelegates’ didn’t
exist. They each hold
equal
value
because
each county only gets
one superdelegate, even
though one county clearly
might have a lot more
people than the other.”
Both
candidates
are
disliked
to
an
unprecedented
degree;
a recent Gallup poll
registered
that
25
percent of Americans
have a negative view of
both candidates. This,
combined with their data
that only six percent to
eight percent of Americans
remain undecided on
their candidate, paints
a divided country. A
palpable
tension
has
built up in the wake of
a national schism that
has been felt by the
international community.
“I feel like the rest
of the world is looking
at this as an IQ test and
I pray for the American
people everyday,” said
Fatema Mohamedah from
Kenya, a senior Global
Business and Marketing
major. “Holding them
accountable isn’t as easy
as it looks. It’s like picking
the lesser of two evils.”
The brass rhetoric
of the election has also
proven surprising to many
foreign students who
are not accustomed to
such a theatrical political
process.
For
some,
the election has been
headlined by mudslinging
and
increasingly
quarrelsome jargon that
goes above and beyond
the usual melodramatics
of American politics.
“The corrosive impact
of the discourse, name
calling is upsetting,” said
Rachael Cobb, Suffolk
Associate Professor and
Chair of the government
department. “It’s hard to
understand the American
system. A lot of students
who I’ve talked to are
trying to make sense of
it and trying to figure it
out.”
The
candidates’
alienating language and
questionable behavior has
confused
international
students
about
how
Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton and businessman
Donald Trump became
the party nominees.
“It feels to me that
they’re doing everything
they can not to win the
election, but to tear down
the
other
candidate,”
alienating many other
audiences.
“Where
Trump
comes from is a, more
biased, form of American
exceptionalism.
It’s
a
routine centered around
being
number
one,”
said Associate Professor
Robert Rosenthal and
Chair of the department
of Advertising, Public
“I feel like the rest of the world is
looking at this as an IQ test and
I pray for the American people
everyday.”
-Fatema Mohamedah
said Charles Tang, an
undeclared
sophomore
from Hong Kong. “To
them it’s like winning
is more important than
governing.”
Donald Trump, the
non-establishment
Republican
candidate
and entrepreneur, has
faced scrutiny from the
international community
due to his campaign
centered on a strict,
jingoistic foreign policy.
His supercilious nature
and patriotic message is
something that appeals
almost strictly to a
specific demographic of
white men, according to
a number of polls, while
Relations
and
Digital
Media.
“A
lot
of
international
students
have come up to me
and asked why we’re so
concerned being number
one.”
Comments that Trump
has made about China,
Mexico
and
Muslim
Americans have resonated
with an apprehensive
American public that is
looking for answers, but
they have not landed so
well with students who
have come to Suffolk with
student visas.
“I wouldn’t vote for
Trump because I think
he hates foreigners,” said
Cheikh Diop, a senior
Biochemistry major from
Senegal. “I was quite
surprised when Trump
got this popular.”
C l i n t o n ’ s
entrenchment in past
U.S.
foreign
policy,
compounded with her
previous roles in overseas
conflict, has not scored
her many points with
young
international
students. Many of these
students,
who
have
observed a U.S. presence
in other countries, have
a bias towards Clinton
because of her heavy
involvement in foreign
policy legislation.
“As a Muslim and Arab
student, Trump scares
me,” said Tarabzouni. “He
wants to ban Muslims,
but Clinton scares me
because she has a record
of supporting wars and
bombing regions in the
Middle East.”
Although the disdain
for
Trump’s
largerthan-life personality is
present, there is also a
clear sense of distrust
in Clinton within the
international community.
This skepticism mirrors
the statistical reaction
that many American-born
voters have had toward
the Democratic candidate.
“I
would
probably
vote for Hillary because
people need to not go
for Trump,” said Tang. “I
love Barack Obama, and I
feel like Hillary is just a
less competent version of
Obama and I’m okay with
that.”
Despite the fact that
these
students
don’t
have the ability to vote
in this election due
to their international
student visas, a sizeable
portion have taken a side.
In contrast, there are
international
students
who would refrain from
voting due to a lack of
viable candidates, an act
of civil disobedience often
ridiculed by the American
public.
“I don’t like any of
the
candidates,”
said
Farouk Abdelmoniem, an
undecided freshman from
Egypt. “I wouldn’t vote
at all if I could. Both of
them are using their own
strategies to win, but
I don’t think they’ll do
what they say”
Only time will tell
how the political saga
will unravel and who will
be the next commanderin-chief. Calls of concern
and confusion have been
echoing through Suffolk’s
global
community
and
spurred
political
discourse across campus.

Dance routines, Latin culture, and a firey passion to entertain
Felicia Valerese
Journal Contributor
The Latin based dance
group, Pasión Latina, has
brought a unique mix of
culture and choreography
to the Suffolk community.
With a multitude of time
and effort, the group has
managed to establish
itself as an expressive
dance team and is now
an inspiration for any
student willing to step
out of their comfort zone
and join a new academic
organization.
“We have a very
familial culture within our
group,” Jeremy Guevara,
a junior marketing major
and current member of
Pasión Latina. “We all
really, really love each
other and it helps us with
our dynamic when we
dance.”
Created in the spring
of 2013, Pasión Latina
started off as a small
group of friends with
vast
commonalities
and a desire to express
themselves
and
their
heritage. Their focus was
to proudly recognize the
Latin culture but with a
completely new approach
in comparison to similar
groups on campus.
This idea came from
founder Clauder Aspilaire,
a 2016 Suffolk graduate
who wanted nothing more
than to bring light to her
heritage in a manner that
was unique and pertinent
to her interests.
“Clauder kind of just
shared her idea with
others and ran with
it. She was able to get
everyone excited about
Pasión
Latina,”
said
Kathleen
Dasilva
the
group’s president, one of
the original members of
the group.
Facilitated
by
the
Performing Arts Office
(PAO), those involved
were
able
to
share
the
same
enthusiasm
and further delve into
what had been merely
just a plan a couple of
month’s prior. As soon
as they formed, Pasión
Latina began dancing
and performing as a way
to recognize the Latin
culture. They now have
fourteen official members
and have made it a routine
to practice for their shows
each semester, which has
brought much reward
and confidence to one of
the PAO’s newest dance
groups.
“We are very proud
of the strides made by
Pasión
Latina,”
said
Kristin
Baker,
PAO
director. “They are very
culturally specific which
is a motivating factor the
for students performing
and the audience as well.”
The group just posted
the 10 finalists they
selected after auditions
they held on Sept. 13.
Diving deep into various
traditions and cultural
norms,
Pasión
Latina
celebrates
primarily
through dance. The group
also spends its time
reaching out to other
Latino groups in Boston
for more performances or
to hang out.
“Our practice involves
a very specific recipe of
fun, sweat and laughs.,”
said Guevara. “Rehearsals
are pretty long and
require a lot of mental
stamina, to be honest.
We can cover two to five
different dance styles in
a single rehearsal, which
can be pretty taxing. We
have breaks where we just
let loose and get really
funny, but at the end
of the day, we are busy
putting together exciting
While our small, intimate team
was amazing last year, it’s always
great to have more members.

performances.”
Initially the group was
not particularly selective.
However, they are now
forced to hold auditions
due to the fact that
there are so many eager
participants. From this
factor alone it is clear
how much the group has
progressed. From a mere
group of 10 to a thriving
team that holds auditions,
Pasión Latina has been
able to embrace a broader
spectrum of talent.
“We
actually
just
doubled if not tripled our
group, which is amazing,”
said
Guevara.
“While
our small, intimate team
was amazing last year,
it’s always great to have
more members. We just
recruited some really
dope talent that will add
a lot of depth to our
performances. The best
part of being able to cover
so many dance styles is
that we can highlight
different members and
their abilities.”
Pasión Latina is set to
announce their upcoming
showcases in the near
future. The hold practices
twice a week and look
forward to being able
to perform around the
greater
Massachusetts
area.

Journal Contributor seems willing to abandon This convinced the three their territorial gains.
Turkey recently began
its push down into the
self-proclaimed
Islamic
State (ISIS) controlled
region of Al Bab, Syria
as part of an expansion
of Operation Euphrates
Shield that began about a
month ago. The operation
has successfully taken the
border towns of Jarablus
and A’zaz. Now they have
set their sights on Al
Bab, which is within 50
kilometers of war-torn
Aleppo.
“They are on the
move, we know that,”
said Robert Laffey, senior
professor, who focuses on
Middle East politics and
International Relations.
“They want to weaken
the Kurds in Syria, the
Syrian Kurds and the
Iraqi Kurds.”
The
recent
deployment consisted of
three armored brigades,
a mechanized brigade
and the Special Forces
of Turkey, known as the
Maroon Berets. When
the Turkish Army moved
across the border on
Aug. 24, they came into
conflict with the Syrian
Democratic Forces and
People’s Protection Units,
which
are
primarily
Kurdish in the north.

Turkey’s
motivation
for this intervention is
a product of internal
upheaval.
“Turkey is concerned
about internal stability,
especially after the Coup,
and they’re turning over
materials about Gulian

During

both the liberal and farright parties of Kemalist

Party (MHP) denounced
the coup unanimously,
and
the
government
managed
to

rejection of the coup
has played an important
part in the political
aftermath, according to

that if the Assad Regime

on Aug. 7, was attended
by many important state

After
the

the parties united on
several issues that were
facing Turkey, such as
national security, the
Syrian intervention and
a
mini
constitutional

was unlikely before the
coup attempt because of
internal unrest, according
to Reuters.
The
possibility
of
increased
cooperation
with Turkey has further
strengthened
Russia’s
position in the Middle
East, and has forced
the United States to
compromise with Turkey
on the issue of the Syrian

Turkey culminated when
U.S. Vice President Joe

Similarly
to
how

Boston Fashion Week features informal

honor of the great Coco Chanel

Roche Bobois isn’t

runway, rather, a highend,
home-furniture
chain that specializes in
contemporary pieces from
international designers in
the center of Downtown
Boston. The ambience
set the tone on Sunday
during Boston Fashion
Week
for
wardrobe
stylists such as Patrice
Vinci Salon and Team
Artist Representative in
order to generate energy
for models to display the
look of the season.
Gabrielle
Bonheur
“Coco”
Chanel
is
commonly known for her
incredible French fashion
design. “What Would
Coco Wear?” was just one
of the of the platforms
during the week-long
event that began on
Friday, Sept. 23.
The session was an
informal fashion show, so
rather than strut down a
traditional runway, the
girls would take a turn
around the venue itself
and pose for guests. After
the models had their time
inside the furniture store,
they went outside to
continue their strut down
a red carpet. Following
their red carpet debut,
the
models
followed
one another back inside,
and performed a quick
change. They did this
several times, all while
maintaining proper poise
and grace.
With
a
womandominated audience and
few men strewed across
the venue observing and
taking photos, the ages
ranged from preteens
and up. From fashion
enthusiasts to high-end
designers,
the
crowd
also included honored
mothers proudly looking
onto
their
daughters
as they glowed on the
runway.
For Meghan Nelligan,
15, the Coco breakout
served as her first fashion
show as a model.
“This has been her
lifelong
dream,”
said
mother Dianne Nelligan
in an interview with
The Suffolk Journal on
Sunday.
Strutting alongside the
15-year-old model was
16-year-old Avery Gains.
“Avery
was
first
scouted for modeling
at age 11,” said mother
Lynne Gains as she also
expressed her excitement
when she had learned that
her daughter was able to
keep the designer shoes
that she was strutting in.
The designers did away
with the heels to pair
with skirts and dresses,
and
instead,
sported
dazzling sneakers for the
modern
Coco-inspired
outfits. In addition to the
high-fashion designs, a
number of business and
street casual looks were
displayed as well.
Designers wanted to
display versatility with
their styles. Although the
main aspect of the event
was the modern look of
Coco, the ambidexterity
was something that the
designers were eager to
show off to their guests.
Often times, the audience
would be presented with
an item of clothing that
was a part of more than
one outfit. Whether it
was shoes, purses or even
some skirts, articles of
each model’s wardrobe
were used in different
outfits in order to pursue
practical styles.
One of the final pieces
a model wore was a
direct tribute to Chanel
herself. The model had
on a bright red crew
sweatshirt and on the
back it read “COCO,”
while on the front it had
the famous Coco Chanel
logo enlarged. The model
also wore a black tulle
skirt and a statement
pearl necklace around
her neck to complete
the look-- the pearls
serving as a tribute in the
collection to Coco herself,
who was rarely seen
without an abundance
of
costume
jewelry.
There is nothing
like a fashion show that
promotes urban, young,
and fresh designs. If Coco
were here to have seen
this she would do nothing
but praise Boston for the
incredible and accurate
depiction of her fashion
design.

Spotlight performance kicks off
student productions
“It’s kind of night and day,
the difference in what
we can do here,”
-Steve McIntosh,
Technical Director
James MacDonald
Journal Contributor
Suffolk
University’s
new
studio
theatre
hosted its first student
production on Friday, the
inauguration of the new
Spotlight
Performances
series, “Just Alright.”
The show, performed
in
front
of
a
full
house, which included
department chair Marilyn
Plotkins and the play’s
writer Dylan Amerena,
ran for roughly fifteen
minutes and was followed
by a lively reception in
the faculty space upstairs.
Student actors Andrew
Agnes,
Sam
Deans
and Ellie Brind’Amour
comprised
the
sixcharacter cast.
The first use of the new
stage punctuated a long
moving process for the
department from Archer
to Sawyer, and showcased
the improvements of the
Sullivan Studio Theatre
over the previous space in
the Archer building.
The
new
theatre
occupies the 11th floor
of the Sawyer Building,
adjacent
to
other
classrooms
and
one
floor below the theatre
department’s
faculty
offices. In Archer, the
theatre
department
was all one floor. One
concern moving forward
was the accessibility of
faculty members to the
students according to
Communications Director
Rosalind
Beauchemin.
The first few weeks of the
fall semester proved these
concerns unwarranted.
“It’s been great to
see
how
connected
students have remained
to faculty and staff,”
said Beauchemin in a
recent interview with The
Suffolk Journal.
Beauchemin
recalls
walking
into
the
construction zone on
her first day of work at
Suffolk University last
winter. The mosaic floor
and high ceilings that
previously made up the
ballroom gave her an
impression of the history
of the space, which was
once a ballroom for an
alternative men’s club in
the early 20th century.
Now,
with
new
equipment as well as
equipment salvaged from
the C. Walsh Theatre after
the move, the theatre
department prides itself
on having one of the
best
equipped
black
box theatres in Boston,
Beauchemin said.
The theatre’s seating
capacity
ranges
from
51 to 61, depending on
the position of the riser
system.
The
seating
arrangements
can
be
changed to fit an arena
style,
in
which
the
audience surrounds the
stage, or thrust style, an
extended stage flanked
by audience members
on
three
sides,
to
accommodate
different
productions.
Technical
Director
Steve McIntosh notes
that in the old theatre,
crewmembers
in
the
lighting booth had no
direct view of the stage,
instead looking through
a monitor with a live
feed of the theatre. The
new lighting box is set
above the audience, with
touchscreen controls for
lighting and sound, and a
clear view of the action in
the theatre.
“It’s kind of night and
day, the difference in
what we can do here,”
said McIntosh
in a
recent interview with The
Journal.
McIntosh also says the
theatre’s green room was
designed with the double
purpose of use as a
common area for students
to meet, work and relax
between
classes.
The
fully furnished room has
outlets with USB ports,
adjacent dressing rooms,
and a callboard to display
department news and
events.
Several
theater
department
classes,
including Directing I,
Playwriting I, Broadway
Dance and Stagecraft, also
meet in the new space,
dubbed
the
Sullivan
Studio Theatre for the
late Suffolk alumni and
donor Quinton J. Sullivan.
Department
chair
Marilyn
Plotkins
remembers
Sullivan
coming to Suffolk from
Arlington Catholic High
School in 1982, working
on numerable student
productions
when
no
dedicated
theatre
department existed.
After
Sullivan
graduated, he remained
in touch with Plotkins,
eventually creating and
overseeing a fund in his
name to fuel the theatre
department.
The
two
remained
in
contact
until Sullivan’s untimely
passing in 2015, at only
51 years old.
Plotkins had already
planned to name the
school’s studio theatre in
his honor, but now had
even more reason to do
so.
“When he died, my
first thought was, here
is a Suffolk student
who understands how
important theatre is to
this school,” she said.
With the opening of
the new theatre, Plotkins
was touched by the way
students
and
faculty
embraced the naming
of the theatre, even
when they had no direct
relationship with the late
Sullivan.
Plotkins
also
expressed her pride in
the new Spotlight series,
praising Director Erica
Lundin and Amerena for
their courage in putting
on the first show in the
new space. The success
and continued sense of
community helps validate
the move to a new
building, when a long
history in Archer loomed
behind the department.
“I thought I would
hate being here,” Plotkins
said. “I love it here.”
The Sullivan Theatre
will
continue
to
showcase the Spotlight
Performances,
along
with
Fall

productions of “Salem,”
“Déjà Vu” and “Queer,”
from October 6-9.

line from the song “Be

line is from a voicemail to

her son to resist the

because the mother is
projecting her own fears
of marijuana and alcohol
onto her son because
she does not understand
it. It is easier to disown
something entirely than it
is to take a step back and
really look at the issue of
marijuana. Projection is a

it creates false truths that

Legalizing marijuana
is a danger to the general
public’s safety as well. If
it is legalized, the nation
will not only have to
combat drunk driving,

increase in drivers who

Editor’s Word
Similarly to the rest of the
nation, Suffolk University’s
global community has turned
their eyes onto the current
campaign trails here in the
United States. This election
year though, is unlike any
other. Concern grows as the
world looks on to see who
will take the position as
commander-in-chief of the
“free world.”
With the nation in a deep
divide, Suffolk’s international
population may not have the
ability to vote, but they have
voiced their reservations
over the two faces that were
plastered on the debate screen
on Monday night.
While Donald Trump and
Hillary Clinton went head to
head in what is known as one
of the most watched debates
in U.S. election history, the
world also tuned in. To The
Journal’s staff, it’s troubling
to see so many fear what lies
ahead in their status as a
student here at Suffolk from
countries like Saudi Arabia
and Mexico.
We find ourselves wondering
if the next elected president
will affect the number of
international students that
come to study abroad- a
population here at Suffolk
that we pride ourselves in
having.
Whether your frustrations lie
with distrust for a candidate
and their decisions, or with
the lack of inclusion of
all individuals or just not
knowing the facts- voice your
opinions here at The Journal
and let it serve as a platform
for your voice to be heard (no
matter if you have the ability
to vote or not).

Marijuana is not only
helping recovering addicts
get back on their feet,
but also children with
debilitating
conditions
like epilepsy and cancer.
Parents of children with
severe
epilepsy
have
had unparalleled success
with cannabinoids over
prescribed
medication
like lorazepam or Valium.
Cannabidiol
(CBD)
is
one of the hundreds
of chemical variations
found in cannabis. CBD
has been introduced into
Epidiolex, a medication
for children and adults.
Epidiolex is 99 percent
pure extract from CBD
that can be administered
in controlled dosages.
More than 200 people
participated in the study,
aging from 2 to 26. 140 of
them said their seizures
decreased by an average
of 54 percent over 12
weeks. Since research is
so limited with marijuana,
experts may only be
tapping into some of its
potential. If legalized,
extensive research could
be done to unlock all
of the potential that
cannabis holds.
Marijuana is also one
of the fastest growing
business
ventures
in
the U.S. Colorado is a
prime example for how
legal marijuana money
can create booming tax
revenue. Sales in 2015
reached a billion dollars,
according to a recent
article in the Los Angeles
Times. Fast forward a year
and Colorado is on par
to hit one billion dollars
in sales by November,
according to the Las
Vegas
Review-Journal.
The money is staggering,
but where is it all going?
Part of the money goes
straight to schools. It pays
for building, upkeep and
renovations of schools in
Colorado, according to
the Los Angeles Times.
More funding for schools
means better facilities
for students to learn in.

country were to take
this initiative, the only
place to go is up. The
betterment
of
public
schools can revitalize
a whole generation of
kids. It will not happen
overnight, but nothing
great comes all at once.
Colorado
is
using
other portions of the
tax revenue to educate
communities
about
marijuana.
As
stated
before,
the
unknown
causes fear. Marijuana
education is a vital
tool to show people
that marijuana is not a
menace. Not all people
who consume marijuana
are degenerates, despite
what the media portrays.
The media does not want
people to know about the
child who used CBD to
ease the sporadic, violent
seizures he had. People
are brought up to believe
that marijuana is a capital

an addictive life. That is
not the case. Marijuana

substances, hence
how marijuana has
been
labeled
the

The argument that
marijuana is “natural”
and therefore safer
to use is completely
irrelevant
and
misleading. Yes, it is a
plant. However, there
are plenty of natural
substances that are
toxic and dangerous,
yet you won’t find us
out smoking them. So
before the November
vote, we should all be
educating
ourselves
a little bit more
about
the
serious
ramifications that our
vote YES could lead to,
for both stoners and
non-smokers alike.
Major split for a major problem

Scheduling
advising
appointments and signing
up for classes at Suffolk
have always been a hassle.
The previous process
that was set in place prior
to the Communications
and Journalism (CJN)
department
split
was
the
reason
for
complications within my
class scheduling. It was
frustrating for a school
that prides itself on
helping its students, had
not helped me in this
process whatsoever.
The recent CJN split
could prove to change the
outdated system.
Following my spring
advising
appointment
of my sophomore year,
I left with a threat of
a
potentially
delayed
graduation date due to ill
registration advice given
by a previous faculty
member in the fall, which
was now posing a threat
to my present curriculum
track.
The other option given
to me was to take the
class over the summer, to
the tune of $3,000. Not
only did I not have these
funds, after searching for
the class it was nowhere
to be found, so I was also
given false information,
which
was
incredibly
disappointing.
Even
more,
when
it came time for me
to
register
for
the
fall semester of my
sophomore
year,
I
dreaded scheduling my
appointment, because I
knew what to expect. This
was initially frustrating,
because advising had
been so impersonal.
In the past, the CJN
department
tried
to
streamline the process
by allowing students to
pick from a prescribed
list of professors in the
department
to
clear
them for registering for
the upcoming semester.
Because of this system,
professors would usually
lose students in a sea of
blurred faces that kept
filing in and out of their
offices for a full week.
More often than not,
there were no personal
connections
made
between
student
and
professor.
Although, the messy
process got to the point
where the two different
advisors that I sought
out for my fall and
spring semesters of my
sophomore year failed in
guiding me in the right
direction with regard to
the
curriculum-specific
class registration that
I needed to further my
progress in school. I think
this was in part due to
the fact that since I had
not seen the same faculty
member routinely, there
“More often
than not,
there were
no personal
connections
made between
student and
professor.”
was no way of either of
these faculty knowing
what the other had said
to me regarding my class
schedule.
This
was
unfair.
Having already spent
a
year
dedicated
to
the
university,
getting
involved
in
extracurriculars
and
doing well in school, it
was upsetting that they
were telling me that I
was being punished for
not knowing the updates
of the curriculum and for
following the advice of
a supposedly “seasoned”
faculty member.
So,
rather
than
spending a lot of money
on one course, I instead
waited
patiently
all
summer for a class
that would never be
announced and I would
never sign up for. Then,
the news hit that the CJN
was being split into two
different
departments,
and upon a follow-up
email with the same
department head asking
about the additional class
that was supposed to be
added, only to realize that
due to the split, no such
class would be added.
The recent CJN split
has the potential to
fix this problem. After
a particularly terrible
advising experience, I’m
hoping that new students
are able to create these
kinds of relationships
that I came to believe
didn’t exist and that any
and all information about
curriculum
changes
is made public and is
distributed as soon as it
goes into effect.

Jay Parker, who had
been an assistant baseball
coach at Suffolk University
for 19 years, is now the
first head coach of the
brand new women’s golf
program within Suffolk’s
Athletics. There is much
to establish with this new
varsity team in order to
guarantee its success.
Parker believes that the
women’s golf team can
achieve the pinnacle of
success by winning a
national title in the near
future.
“We feel like women’s
golf at this school can win
a National Championship,”
said Parker.
In an interview with
The
Suffolk
Journal,
Parker
expressed
his
confidence in the team
winning a title for Suffolk.
“We felt that right all
along, it’s the main thing
for me taking over,” said
Parker.
His
background
within the sport of golf
has brought him to a
place where he can now
showcase his knowledge
and potentially pass it on
to his players. During his
teenage years in the late
1970s, Parker said that
he used to be a caddy
at The Country Club in
Brookline, Mass., one of
America’s oldest country
clubs, soaking in the
atmosphere and watching
numerous
golfers.
He
gained
valuable
knowledge while being
around the game early in
his life, but did not begin
sinking
putts
himself
until after college in his
twenties. After he was
gifted clubs of his own
from his parents at the
time, Parker commented
that golf was an addicting
sport he instantly became
passionate for.
Parker has coached
baseball alongside the
university’s
Athletics
Director Cary McConnell
for roughly 20 years, but
his skills are not confined
to
this
experience.
Besides the diamond,
Parker has been around
golf in an instructional
setting as well. He used
to coach and assist
young female golfers,
helping them improve
and hone their skills.
Along with professional
golfer Don Lyons, Parker
taught
ladies
lessons
on Thursday nights at
the George Wright golf
course in the Hyde Park
area of Boston.
“Anytime there is a
new program you can
make your mark on it.
This is my baby now,”
said Parker.
He now has the
opportunity to etch a new
era into Suffolk’s athletics
with this brand new
team. He has taken this
program under his wing
and intends to foster
its growth. His ultimate
goals for the organization
are clear, and his strategy
for success starts with the
athletes personally.
“It’s not just about
the athlete, but the
individuals as well,” said
Parker. “What I’m trying
to do to my players is to
make them better athletes
and better people.”
While the competitive
events
are
the
centerpieces
to
any
athletic program, Parker
stressed the importance
of a well-rounded athlete.
Head
Baseball
Coach
Anthony
Del
Prete
commented
in
an interview with The
Journal on Tuesday about
Parker’s commitment to
his players, as well as his
coaching ability.
“Jay is a dedicated
coach, who cares about his
players, their well-being,
and tries to maximize
their performance. His
work ethic has been
unparalleled,” said Del
Prete. “When Jay gets
involved in something, he
really sinks his teeth into
it.”
Del
Prete
also
recognized
Parker’s
contributions
to
the
baseball program and
attributed Parker as part
of the reason for the
program being one of New
England’s most consistent
baseball clubs. Del Prete
also said experience in
recruiting, as well as his
motivational abilities, are
important factors that
will translate from the
baseball program to golf.
Parker
discussed
how
practices
and
lessons
this
season
have
accommodated
his
players’
academic
schedules.
With
the
emergence of this new
program, there was not
much time to adjust the
student-athletes’ classes
in respect to their sport.
Parker
acknowledges
this issue and foresees
its resolvement within
future semesters. This
adversity has not stopped
Parker from finding times
to work with each of
the golfers prior to this
inaugural season.
“These
girls
have
learned that whatever we
need to do, will get done,”
said Parker.
Overcoming
these
challenges is something
that any new program or
organization has to deal
with. Parker described
how he is limited as of
right now but is able to
develop and progress the
elements he has control
over.
“With a brand new
program, there isn’t a lot
to do but work hard and
have these girls compete
at high levels,” said
Parker.
The
women’s
golf
team will open up their
season on Oct. 2 against
Rhode Island College. The
time and location are to
be determined.
Suffolk
University
students now have access
to a convenient and stateof-the-art fitness center.
Suffolk’s new gym,
the Michael & Larry
Smith Fitness Center,
recently opened at the
end of August to current
students, staff and faculty.
The facility is on the first
floor of the Ridgeway
Building located on 148
Cambridge St.
Jaclyn Davis, Associate
Director of Athletics and
Head Women’s Softball
Coach, has been working
at
Suffolk
University
for four years. On a
daily basis, she oversees
student workers and helps
manage the facility. Davis
said that the Athletics
Department has come a
long way since she started
working here.
“Athletics has made
great strides since I first
got to Suffolk- we have
rebranded, opened new
fields in East Boston,
updated our facilities, and
our teams have become
more competitive,” said
Davis. “It is a really
exciting time to be a part
of Suffolk and we are
proud to represent the
university in Athletics.”
Davis said that the
funding for the facility
came from a donation
from alumnus Larry and
Michael
Smith.
Larry
Smith was a captain
and four-year starter of
the university’s men’s
basketball team. Today
the brothers live in
Florida where they have
been in the insurance
industry and auto club
for more than 50 years.
Davis said Boston is a
pretty “health conscious
city” and this new facility
is a great resource for
students and staff to take
advantage of.
Freshman
Alona
Beloussova has spent
much of her time crosscountry
running
and
exercising.
Her
goal
throughout college is
to stay healthy and not
spend all of her time
sleeping in her dorm.
Beloussova said that going
to the gym is extremely
important to her because
much of her time is spent
in class sitting or doing
homework.
“To me, exercise is
a great way to escape
S
the everyday stresses.
I always feel amazing
after a workout because
of the endorphins; it
can do wonders to your
mood,” said Beloussova.
Carolyn
Crampton,
a first-year graduate
assistant of the Athletics
Department, has the
role of Fitness Center
and
Gymnasium
Manager. At Suffolk ,
Crampton is working
toward
her
Masters
in Administration of
Higher Education. She
said that her daily tasks
include overseeing staff
and
handling
issues
brought to her attention.
Crampton talked about
the
importance
of
having a gym at Suffolk.
“I think it is super
important
to
have
exercise
facilities
here on campus to
encourage fitness and
a healthy lifestyle for
our
students,”
said
Crampton. “While there
are an assortment of
gyms in the area, of
course, this facility is
free for all students,
staff, and faculty, and it
is a great way to bring
the Suffolk community
together.”
Due the location of
the previous gym, which
is currently in the corner
of the second floor of
the Ridgeway Building,
Crampton
explained
that not many people
used it. She explained
how much more popular
the gym is now that it
is much easier to find
on the first floor. She
also discussed that all
the
new
equipment
that the facility has to
offer, including cardio
machines,
weight
training machines, and
full sets of free weights.
She said that there
is also a studio room
where students and staff
can find medicine balls,
mats and kettle bells.
Crampton
was
enthusiastic to explain
how the gym plans to
start
many
exciting
classes
for
Suffolk
students. She said that
in the student room
they are in the process
of installing a workout
kiosk. At this kiosk,
students and staff will
be able to choose from
classes such as yoga,
spin, and zumba. Each
class is taught virtually
for members to follow
along to.

Medina dominates in blue and gold
Star athlete picks up another honor
Courtesy of Suffolk Athletics
Clevis Murray
Journal Staff
The
rush
and
determination to succeed
has motivated her to win
every match she plays
and excel in the sport
Valentina Medina loves-tennis.
Medina,
who
won
Rookie of the Week six
times and Rookie of
the Year last season,
has
her
reputation
growing
around
the
Great Northeast Athletic
Conference (GNAC) and
those who follow Suffolk
tennis.
On Sept. 19, Medina
was announced the GNAC
Corvias Player of the
Week.
“This means a lot to
me,” said Medina. After
learning she was named
player of the week before
her match and classes
on Thursday, “I love this
sport and getting honors
doing what I like the
most is the best thing in
the world. I have been
working really hard to get
better and give my best
in every match, so it is
nice that my hard work is
paying off.”
Ever since she was
a six-year old back in
Colombia, tennis was as
natural to her as the hot
weather in her native
country. The sweat, heat
and burning of feet she
gets from the court now
is what she’s already
experienced back home,
except at a higher degree
in comparison to the
United States.
Medina thanks the
sport for giving her the
opportunity
to
make
friends, who she thinks of
as family.
“I
love
the
competition,”
said
Medina. “The adrenaline,
the satisfaction of winning
a match after you give all
you have. But what I love
the most about this is that
you get to meet incredible
people, people that can
even change your life and
make it better.”
Despite her winning
ways,
Medina
is
a
proponent of the notion
that she offers more to
the team than her oncourt skills.
“I
think
I
offer
happiness and support to
the team,” she said. “They
all know that I am always
going to be there, outside
or inside the court.”
Medina’s support to
the team as one of the best
players can go a long way
for everyone else on the
roster. The team was on
a five-game losing streak,
before their 6-3 win
over Wentworth College
this
past
Thursday.
Prior to their win over
Wentworth, the team had
lost to conference rival
and eight-time defending
champions
Simmons
College 5-4. After that
game — which was
their fifth consecutive
defeat — a team meeting
occurred. In that meeting
Medina said she told the
team “we were all capable
of winning that match,
we just needed to fight
more.”
“I also told them to
believe in themselves and
that we have to fight until
the end of every match,”
Medina said.
Medina realized that
teams have to work
things out with each
other when the doors
are closed and spectators
aren’t watching. What
was said in that meeting
led to a win in their next
contest, and despite their
2-6 record, Medina is still
optimistic on the season,
as her goal is to win the
conference and believes
“the best is yet to come.”
Suffolk is fifth in the
GNAC standings after
being ranked No. 2 overall
in the coaches preseason
poll. It looks like they’re
underachieving from the
outside looking in, but to
Medina, the team will be
fine going forward. One
of two things she wants is
for her peers on the team
“to stop giving up in the
matches” regardless of
score, and Medina wants
her teammates to exert
a little more effort, as
she’s a huge believer in
the Rams defeating every
team in their conference.
“I don’t think my team
has underachieved,” said
Medina. “We have only
lost one conference match
and that doesn’t mean
anything. It is always hard
to play the first match, I
was really nervous that
day. But I think the team
is going to start getting
better now and hopefully
we will be able to make it
to the semifinals.”
Medina is competing
in
the
Intercollegiate
Tennis Association (ITA)
Regional Championships
from
Sept.
23-25
alongside teammate and
two-time GNAC Player
of the Year Aidiana
Sagyndykova, according
to the Athletics website.
The two were selected
by the New England
region to compete in the
tournament, which will be
hosted by Massachusetts
Institute of Technology
(MIT). Medina headed to
Cambridge with a perfect
23-0 singles record and
21-2 mark in doubles.
Medina
had
high
expectations
for
the
tournament,
especially
in doubles. She played
with Sagyndykova, and
believed that they both
had “good chances of
doing something big.”
She said the having the
opportunity to compete
with the best players
from
their
respective
universities and colleges
is unbelievable.
Theco-captains
crushed the opening of
their match; however
the pair
were defeated
in
doubles
playing
against Trinity College of
Connecticut. They both
lost their singles matches.
In
the
meantime,
Medina will continue to
play the game she said she
loves, and looks to achieve
her goals for the season.
“This is something that I
love,” said Medina on her
love for Tennis. “I just
give my best every time
I play so that’s why I am
able to maintain such a
high level of play.”

2 ORIENTATION ISSUE 2016
A WORD
FROM the
president
Dear Class of 2020,
Congratulations on being accepted to
Suffolk University! You are about to begin a
journey filled with limitless opportunities and
the experiences of a lifetime. This journey
starts now. Orientation is a great place to make
new friends, learn about the school, and start
thinking about what you want to achieve over
the next four years.
When you come back to Suffolk in the fall,
you will have a world of options of things to
do. I strongly encourage you to get involved
right away. There are more than 80 different
clubs and organizations to join, from cultural
clubs, to performing groups, to the Student
Government Association.
When I began my first year at Suffolk, I
joined several different clubs, including SGA.
Joining SGA has been the best decision I have
made while at Suffolk, and it has provided me
with experiences that I could not have imagined
having when I started at Suffolk just two years
ago. I strongly urge you to run for a position in
SGA, or join one of our other numerous clubs
and organizations.
By coming to Suffolk, you have chosen to
come to a school with a strong community
feel. We don’t have a gated campus like many
schools, but we have students, faculty and
staff that care about your experiences inside
and outside the classroom, and a city as our
campus that is one of the best in the world.
I hope you enjoy orientation and the rest
of your summer. I can’t wait to welcome you
all to the Suffolk Community officially at
Convocation in August.
Again, congratulations on your acceptance
and decision to attend Suffolk!
Sincerely,
Sean Walsh
Student Government Association President
Suffolk hopes new
chairman brings stability
N
Alexa Gagosz
Editor-in-Chief
As
the
class
of
2016
filled
in
for
graduation after a year
of unprecedented student
rallies and media-wide
controversy, eager faces
welcomed
noteworthy
guests,
President
Margaret McKenna and
recently
announced
Chairman Robert Lamb
in
his
first
public
appearance.
Meanwhile
and
previously, a number of
powerful names were
thrown into the mix in
the search for the next
Chairman of the Suffolk
University
Board
of
Trustees in attempt to
bring the school into a
new era of stability.
Of
the
list
were
a number of Boston
powerhouses nominated
by
current
Board
members and McKenna,
but interestingly enough,
all local requests were
denied, according to the
Boston Globe. Instead,
the
Board
members
ultimately decided to look
beyond Boston and into
New Hampshire, where
a nominating committee
chose former insurance
executive Lamb as its top
choice for the university
and the Board, according
to the Globe.
After tension unfolded
between the Board and
outgoing McKenna this
year in a media frenzy,
a
coalition
between
students,
alumni
and
staff was created as they
rallied and demanded
transparency
from
the Board, previously
reported by the Journal.
With
a
negotiation
between
former
Chairman Andrew Meyer
and McKenna reached
resolution, in May Meyer
left his post officially,
opening up Lamb who
hopes to transform the
university.
It
appears
the
Suffolk community has
continued their strong
support
of
McKenna,
anxiously awaiting the
implementation of the
Board’s recently updated
bylaws.
“I’m encouraged by the
steps the Board has taken
recently and I’m really
looking forward to putting
behind the unfortunate
Courtesy of Suffolk University
Chairman Robert Lamb
circumstances
of
the
last year,” said Student
Government Association
(SGA)
President
Sean
Walsh,
the
previous
vice president who was
deeply involved in last
year’s affairs and worked
alongside former SGA
President Colin Loiselle.
For the Chair of the
Philosophy
Department
Greg
Fried,
another
strong
faculty
voice
in the spring, he, too,
looks to ensure that the
governance problems for
the Board are put as top
priority to fix.
Fried shared that he
expects Lamb to make
sure the new bylaws
are adequate, modern
and that they, “fit best
practices
of
similar
institutions.” The next,
Fried said, is to oversee
the transition of the
Board.
“There are vacancies up
on the Board and we need
fresh faces,” said Fried in
a recent interview with
the Journal. “Not just the
roles of governance, but
the style of governance
needs to change.”
For Walsh, these roles
of governance rely on
Chairman Lamb’s ability
to adapt and reform the
university.
“Really what we’re
looking
for
is
an
experienced
leader
who is going to take
control of the Board.
The
new
Chairman’s
top priority should be
promoting
effective
governing practices,” said
Walsh. “In my opinion,
Chairman Lamb needs
to put a high priority
on engaging students,
professors, alumni, staff
and administration in the
Board and university’s
affairs.”
“This
sort
of
transparent engagement
starts with the leadership
of
the
Chairman,”
said Walsh. “If that
leadership is applied, I am
confident that the Suffolk
community will be able to
rebuild.”
Insofar as members of
administration speaking
out on Lamb’s recent
appointment,
retiring
Dean Nancy Stoll’s initial
impression of Lamb is
that he seems committed
to learning about the
university and its vast
community.
“I expect that this
approach will include
outreach
to
students
and probably through
SGA, GSA and SBA as
representative of student
leadership,” said Stoll.
“I wish him well as he
assumes this critical role.”
As Dean Stoll ushered
in a new graduating class
as
a
commencement
presenter of diplomas,
the image of a new
age for Suffolk beside
McKenna and Lamb was
profound. For department
of Government professor
John Berg, he seems
optimistic
of
Lamb’s
recent appointment.
“I heard him give a talk
at the commencement
dinner and it was really
moving. The connection
he feels to Suffolk,” said
Berg.
Commenting
on
Lamb’s alma mater West
Point - a well-known
military establishment Berg shared that Lamb’s
background and family
life, being one of seven
children is admirable,
especially
given
the
financial support from
Suffolk that enabled Lamb
to do what he wanted to
do.
“He’s
always
remembered and always
felt that Suffolk was a
place that helps people
like him,” said Berg.
On moving forward,
“I think it’s good that he
is not tied to the past
leadership or the Board.
It’s a good thing that not
many people knew who
he was,” said Berg. “I have
high hopes.”

a YMCA when he was
just 10-years-old. He is
the first and only black
president and CEO of the
YMCA, in which he has
used to promote diversity
on the Board. He told a
personal story of where he
met his first mentor, Bill
Morton. He reflected on
his life prior to meeting
Morton and realized that
the chances that he would
end up standing in front
of Suffolk’s graduating
class
delivering
a
commencement address
as president of the YMCA
were slim.
Washington also made
founder
and
former
President
of
Suffolk,
Gleason Archer, as an
exemplary
model
for
social
responsibility.
While Archer was an
aspiring
lawyer,
a
benefactor loaned him
money in order to study
law and all Archer was
asked of was to pass
along the favor. Archer
had believed that the
increasing
waves
of
immigrants arriving in
America should be given
the same opportunities
that were usually only
reserved for the wealthy
during that time.
With his honorary
degree of Doctor of
Commercial
Science,
Washington said he will
wear the honor kindly
and he left the SBS class
of 2016 with one thing,
to “think globally and act
globally.”
“Social responsibility is
everyone’s responsibility,”
said Washington. “Make
it your responsibility.”

and helping the homeless.
“Intelligence is a gift,
what you do with it is a
choice,” said McKenna.
McKenna said that
the class of 2016 was
gritty and ready to go out
into the workforce. She
said that the graduating
class was a lot like
Nelson Mandela, whose
name
means
“shaker
of the trees, meaning
troublemaker.”
“I welcome you into the
world of troublemakers,”
said McKenna. “Make a
change and trouble to
better this world.”
Student
speaker
Amanda Ho, who received
a Bachelor of Science in
Business Administration
(BSBA) in Information
Systems and Operations
Management
(ISOM)
reflected on her own
personal journey and
overcoming
challenges
faced. Ho praised the
Suffolk
and
ISOM
communities.
“Suffolk allows you to
accomplish anything as
long as you work toward
it– there are endless
possibilities,” said Ho.
“They know it’s not about
who you were when you
came in, but who you will
become when you leave.”
Ho
shared
what
her father has instilled
into her mind, which is
finishing tasks, but never
being done. Ho said as
of [May 22], they are
99.999 percent done, but
100 percent unfinished.
However, the class is 100
percent finished as they
close out their chapters
at Suffolk.
“You are strong, which
is why you chose Suffolk,”
said Ho. “It’s also why
Suffolk chose you and
believed in your ability to
come out the other side
stronger. Go out there
and change the world
because you are ready,
and you are Suffolk.”
Proud tears were shed,
but many smiles and
snapshots were shared in
watching retiring Dean
of Students Nancy Stoll
as she announced the
names of 643 seniors to
walk across the stage to
receive their diplomas.
Right
after
the
conclusion of graduates
walking,
Suffolk
University Rampage Show
Choir performed, tassels
were turned right and
left and caps were thrown
mid-air under the center
of the amphitheater.
Just four hours after
the SBS commencement
began, the amphitheater
was filled once again for
the CAS commencement
and
Massachusetts’
Senator
Elizabeth
Warren’s speech to the
College’s graduates.
Before Warren came
to the podium to speak to
graduating students about
fighting for their beliefs,
student speaker Victoria
Ireton, a government
and philosophy double
major who received her
Bachelor of Arts degree,
shared her story.
“We
graduates
all
have a story about why
we chose Suffolk, why
we stayed at Suffolk, and
how Suffolk has become a
part of us,” said Ireton.
Before she pursued
college, Ireton said she
was homeless for a
year and a half, did not
make the best decisions.
Before Suffolk, she had
always thought that her
misfortunes would dictate
her future, but she said
she was wrong.
“I look back and think
about how I wouldn’t be
where I am today without
the
classes,
loving
professors and caring
staff
members,”
said
Ireton. “Needless to say,
my story was shaped by
all of you.”
Ireton then shifted her
admiration to the faculty
and administration to
her classmates, whom
she said were her “true
driving force.”
Even as graduates
and CAS alumni who
will be a part of other
communities,
Ireton
said the class’s stories at
Suffolk will never really
end.
After Ireton’s message
of leadership and giving
back, Warren reminisced
on the same beginning
grounds
that
Suffolk
began on that Washington
did with her appreciation
for the school and its
founding.
“I can’t think of a better
place to be celebrating
education than at Suffolk
University,
a
school
founded in 1906 for the
best possible reason, a
deep belief that because
higher education matters,
it should be available not
just for the wealthy few,
but for everyone,” said
Warren.
As a now educator,
advocate,
and
policy
maker, Warren’s journey
began in a workingclass family as a firstgeneration
college
student.
“Suffolk would grow
in
many
ways
that
[Archer] could never have
dreamed, becoming a
world-class university and
a cornerstone for the city
of Boston,” she said.
But with a life of
unexpected twists and
turns of her own, Warren
advised
graduates
to
embrace them.
“If
you
take
the
unexpected opportunities
when they come up, if you
know yourself and if you
fight for what you believe
in, I can promise that
you will live a life that is
rich with meaning,” said
Warren.
She emphasized that
the path that people want
to take in life will never
be easy, but that it is
worth fighting for.
“Now that I am in
the Senate, I can tell you
that Washington is full of
people who say ‘no, no,
no’ and who are saying
it in nastier and nastier
and nastier ways,” said
Warren. “Fight for the
job you want, fight for
the people who mean the
most to you, and fight
for the kind of world you
want to live in.”

Bernie
Sanders: the
only option
for the
democratic
card
Who is best fit for the job?
By Maggie Randall
Ian Kea
Journal Staff
Sen. Bernie Sanders is
the best candidate for the
Democratic Party.
Simply put, Sanders
needs to be the nominee.
Without Sanders at the
forefront of the national
platform, the Democratic
Party may be at serious
risk for a Donald Trump
presidency.
For more than 30
years, Sen. Sanders has
been consistent on every
issue from the Iraq war

and the rise of the Islamic
State [IS] to the 2008
recession. For decades, it

his anti-war, pro-middle

where his preaching is

OP-ED
Blind anger, utter complacency, or
misguided optimism
Sam Scanlan
Journal Contributor
Voters can have the
ireful populist rhetoric
of the presumptive GOP
nominee Donald Trump,
they can have what
would essentially be a
continuation of the past
twenty years in the form
of the Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton, or vote
for a previously tried
and failed, admirable,
but impossible economic
system vowed by Vermont
Senator Bernie Sanders.
What is interesting in
the upcoming election
compared to previous
elections is that each
candidate
is
notably
flawed in their own way.
Entire books could (and
surely will) be published
about
the
potential
presidential
candidacy
of
Donald
Trump.
Voters have witnessed
nothing less than history
in
experiencing
the
Trump’s ascension to
political stardom and
many of the world’s most
informed political minds
have commented on his
campaign thus far. As
such, it seems appropriate
to focus on an issue with
Trump’s campaign that
isn’t regularly addressed.
Trump
is
a
protectionist.
Trump has, on multiple
occasions,
expressed
his intent to implement
sizeable tariffs on foreign
goods
imported
to
America, which he sees
as a way to strengthen
the economy and ensure
American
companies
look to its citizens for
employment,
thereby
reinforcing his promotion
to use domestic good.
Interestingly enough,
Sen. Sander’s stance on
trade and tariffs is nearly
identical to Trump- he
too seeing taxing imports
as a means of supporting
American
jobs
and
industry.
In no way is this
sort of thinking newit can be traced back
to the economic ideals
of the mercantilists of
16th century Europe.
The result however, is
appears to be always
the same. Protectionism
creates what economists
call a dead weight loss.
This loss occurs because
protectionism disallows
the use of comparative
advantage.
When
we
allow trade to be free,
each country will produce
what they are best at
producing so as to export
it and earn a profit,
Thailand produces rice,
France produces wine,
etc, and these goods are
traded
internationally
between
companies
in different countries
thereby
allowing
the
consumers
in
each
country to have access
to the highest quality
of a particular good
despite perhaps not living
somewhere where said
good is produced. Under
a system of protectionism
however
with
high
tariffs on foreign goods,
a country is forced to
produce all the goods
to satisfy the needs and
wants
of
consumers.
This causes two major
problems.
One,
prices
on
many goods go up, as
there are always, for a
variety reasons be they
geographical,
political
or others, going to be
some goods that another
country is able to produce
more cost effectively. The

With the primary election season coming
to a close, it is time to look towards what
will come next in the 2016 Presidential
Election.
There are just ten primary elections left
until June 14. California will have their
primary election on June 7 and will be crucial
to both the Republican and Democratic
candidates. There are 546 delegates for the
Democrats, and 172 for the Republicans.
These last few primaries will be very
important for Democratic candidate former
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who is just
597 delegates away from having enough to
be the nominee for her party.
Donald Trump is expected to be the
nominee for the Republican party, but is
still waiting for crucial support from party
leadership.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
has said that he will support Trump if he
ends up being the nominee, this is likely
Sen. McConnell’s hope to reunite the
Republican Party.
Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, has not
yet supported Trump, and has spoken out
against him in the past. In early May, Trump
and Ryan met to discuss their differences on
issues and policies. In a joint press release,
they explained how they will come to
compromises. But, can Trump really make
compromises?
On the Democratic side, Clinton is
expected to be the nominee. Sen. Bernie
Sanders has put up a long fight, winning
primary elections even into the summer.
Even so, Clinton surpasses Sanders with
super delegates, and has been endorsed far
more often by senators, congressmen, and
governors.
In July, the Republican National
Convention and the Democratic National
Convention will confirm the nominees
from each party. The Republican National
Convention will be held from July 18 to
21 in Cleveland, Ohio. The Democratic
National Convention will shortly follow in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from July 25 to
28.
Once the nominees are chosen, this
summer will be about finding vicepresidents. Candidates will have shortlists for vice president sometime over the
summer, but the vice-president will likely
formally be announced in August.
The first presidential debate is scheduled
for Monday, September 26. Afterwards, two
more presidential debates and one vicepresidential debate will follow in October.
The general election will be held
Tuesday, Nov. 8. The last day to register
to vote before the presidential election is
usually about 30 days in advance. In some
states, it is just 10 days before the election,
and in Massachusetts it is 20 days before
the election. To find when to register to

Saudi scholarships support students abroad
Jacob Geanous
World Editor
When
American
students
graduate
college they are usually
guaranteed
only
two
things: a diploma and
crippling student loan
debt. The amount of
total student debt is
now speculated to be
in the trillions and has
been a hotly contested
issue in the current
presidential
race.
Although student debt
may seem unavoidable
for many students in the
United States, it remains
a problem that pertains
almost
exclusively
to
Americans. International
students, specifically from
Saudi Arabia, studying
in America experience
significantly less financial
concern and often receive
government aid from
their home countries.
Scholarships given by
the Saudi government
have opened the pathways
for
international
education.
The
Saudi
Arabian King Abdullah
Scholarship
Program,
sponsored by the Saudi
Arabian
Ministry
of
Education,
encourages
students
to
study
abroad by offering this
scholarship which pays for
the students full tuition,
helping them obtain a
debt-free degree. Suffolk
University
welcomes
many
international
students with one of
the largest communities
coming
from
Saudi
Arabia.
According
to
Tracy Fitzgerald, Suffolk
University’s
assistant
director of international
programs and services,
the vast majority of
Suffolk’s Saudi students
are taking full advantage
of
this
scholarship
program.
“Out
of
225
[undergraduate]
Saudi
students that we have,
close to ninety percent
use the scholarship,” said
Fitzgerald in a recent
interview
with
The
Suffolk Journal.
While offering a free
education,
the
King
Abdullah
scholarship
comes
with
specific
requirements. To qualify
for the scholarship, the
Saudi students must enroll

“These individuals of different qualifications in the finest
and best universities in the world will contribute
to the achievement of the Saudi Vision 2030.”
-Fahad Sultan Abdulrahman Elmoisheer,
Suffolk senior
in majors that are dictated
by the government. This
is to ensure a diversely
educated community of
Saudi students that can
improve the country upon
return.
“They try to make it
as even as possible in
terms of bringing back
these Saudi students so
that the workforce has
a lot of diversity to it,”
said Fitzgerald. “I think
Saudi Arabia is trying to
do their best to diversify
from just being an oil
country to a country that
has financial services and
other creative industry
that is something other
than petroleum.”
While this type of
scholarship has stricter
guidelines than most, the
advantages experienced
by
the
scholarships
recipients are ones that
American students are
not often afforded.
“The
benefits
are
that they are graduating
without
debt,”
said
Fitzgerald. “It is an
amazing
opportunity.
I think it’s a great
commitment on part of
the government. It was a
very bold initiative by the
King.”
A distinct pride can be
seen in the community of
Saudi students who look
forward to bettering their
country upon graduation.
In
April,
Prince
Mohammad bin Salman
Al Sad unveiled Saudi
vision 2030, which is an
initiative to remove the
country’s reliance on oil,
according to BBC News.
This has been notably
energizing
to
Saudi
millennials
who
look
forward to diversifying
the country’s workforce.
“I believe one of the
most important things
we need in Saudi Arabia
is discovering the raw
potential of our youth
as well as encouraging
our social and communal
activities,”
said
Ali
Alhassan Hamidaddin, a
Suffolk junior studying
entrepreneurship
and legal studies. “As
millennials represent the
highest demographic in
Saudi, there’s plenty of
talents and competencies
that could and should be
discovered,
broadened
and expanded to even
further
improve
our
growth and shape our
collective character in
today’s globalized world.”
According
to
Hamidaddin,
he
was
able
to
experience
opportunities that would
not have been possible
without this study abroad
program.
“There were many
opportunities
exclusive
for students studying
abroad,” he said.
For someone who went
to high school in Jeddah,
which is a major urban
center of Saudi Arabia, he
never imagined that he
would be so involved in
a community at Suffolk.
During his time at Suffolk,
he was hired to be a
commuter
ambassador
who helped off-campus
students navigate a city
he wasn’t even brought
up in, became a mentor
for international students,
and join the National
Model United Nations
Suffolk team to perform
at the United Nations
headquarters in New York
City.
“King
Abdullah’s
scholarship was a key
program
in
paving
the way for my study
abroad
experience,”
said
Hamidaddin.
“Globalization is at an
accelerated pace today,
and countries that dismiss
the need to expose their
youths minds on an
international scale are
definitely missing out.”
As
Saudi
Arabia
continues to look to
improve
the
country
through education, Saudi
students remain grateful
for the chance that they
are given to improve
themselves
and
their
country as well. Fahad
Sultan
Abdulrahman
Elmoisheer, a Suffolk
senior studying business,
sees
the
scholarship
as an investment that
will continue to help
Saudi Arabia reach its
developmental goals.
“[The] King Abdullah
Scholarship Program is
one of the most successful
investments,” he said.
“These
individuals
of
different
qualifications
in the finest and best
universities in the world
will contribute to the
achievement of the Saudi
Vision 2030.”
The
implementation
of this scholarship has
brought great national
pride in the young Saudi
generation,
revitalizing
the culture of education
and
broadening
the
country’s talent.
“The
exchange
of
scientific, educational and
cultural experiences with
the various countries
of the world built a
professional
cadre
of
qualified Saudis in the
work environment,” said
Elmoisheer. “On behalf
of all Saudi Students, I
thank King Abdullah for
his trust and faith in his
sons and daughters. We
will not forget you.”

Katherine
Yearwood
Journal Staff
For the past few
decades,
America’s
involvement in the Middle
East has been a large
source of tension and
controversy. It has led to
the death of numerous
soldiers, civilian casualties
and
the
destruction
of neighborhoods and
communities.
Recently, Dr. Andrew
Bacevich,
Boston
University
professor
and New York Times
best
selling
author,
condemned the United
States’ war actions over
the past six decades in
his speech America in the
‘Middle East: Alliances
and War’ at the Suffolk
University Law School.
Bacevich’s
presentation
was put together by World
Boston, an organization
dedicated to increasing
awareness about global
issues.
Bacevich’s
speech
centered
around
his
book, “America’s War
for The Greater Middle
East: A Military History.”
He spoke about how his
book outlined the ways in
which the U.S. has acted
in the past, such as in the
Vietnam War, and how
history is in many ways
essentially repeating itself
today with U.S. foreign
military policy.
Many people tend to
wonder about what it
is that should be done
about ISIS, and Bacevich
noted that that was the
wrong question to be
asking when it comes to
addressing ISIS.
“What to do about ISIS
is a non-trivial question,
but it is of far less
significance of others that
have too long gone largely
ignored,” said Bacevich.
“Does waging war across a
large suave of the Islamic
world make sense? Is
that war winnable in any
meaningful sense, and if
not why are we there? Is
there no alternative?”
The central theme of
Bacevich’s
presentation
focused on how the
pride of the U.S. has led
the country to fail in its
foreign policy. He said
the U.S. prides itself
on having the world’s
greatest military, which
has ultimately led the
country to abuse its
military power. This has
made matters worse for
other countries as well as
for the U.S.
He discussed the basics
of why the U.S. went to
war in the Greater Middle
East in the first place,
citing the U.S. pride as
the ignition to the chaos.
“In a narrow sense, it
began as a war for oil,
yet even from the outset
much more was at stake
than ensuring access and
achieving cheap gas that
fuels the American way
of life,” said Bacevich.
“From day one, the larger
purpose for America’s war
[with] the Middle East has
been to affirm that we
are the people to whome
limits do not apply.”
Berating
the
U.S.,
Bacevich recounts the
actions taken by the U.S.
in the past.
“In a sense, for a war
that now extends into
the 21st century, the U.S
has sought to validate
or affirm the apparent
outcome of the 20th
century,” said Bacevich.
“As enshrined in our
collected memory, that
outcome
extensively
testifies
to
America’s
global
preeminence
political,
military,
economic, cultural and
ideological.”
When
listening
to U.S. political leaders,
Bacevich said there is a
disconnect between what
they have done and what
they say they hope to
accomplish. They state
intentions
to
punish
those who are immoral,
defend the innocent and
liberate people in the
Middle East.
He said
their decision to dispatch
military troops to invade,
occupy and raid multiple
parts of the Islamic
world, since 1980, they
have actually intended to
impose American ideals
onto other countries.
He described how the
decisions that U.S. leaders
have made has put the
country in a position
where they need military
forces in countries such as
Lebanon, Libya, Somalia,
Sudan, Bosnia, Kosovo,
Afghanistan and Pakistan.
“Unfortunately
no administration ever
devised
a
plausible
strategy for achieving
american
aims,
each
administration in turn
has
simply
reacted
to
situations
that
it
confronted,”
said
Bacevich. “Nor ironically,
has any administration
available
the
means
needed to make good on
the grandiose ambitions
that it entertained.”

‘Megacities Asia:’
How bamboo, silver cups and rubble immersed in constant
motion reconciles sprawling Asian population at the MFA
Felicity Otterbein
Arts Editor
Stories accumulate like pollution in big cities. Stories of lives
untold, laughs never shared and events never spoken of.
Twenty-four digital screen panels reflect the faces of the eleven
artists who contributed to the 19-piece exhibit, “Megacities Asia,” at
the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
A “megacity” refers to a city with the population of 10 million or
more, and in 1960, the only megacities that were currently sustainable
were New York City and Tokyo, Japan. Now, there are nearly 30
across five continents.
The exhibit which was featured mainly in the Gund Gallery sprawls
a wall-to-wall map of Asia featuring cities from Beijing to Shanghai,
Delhi, Mumbai and Seoul, each marked within two concentric rings:
the innermost ring representing the population in 1960 and the
outer in 2014, showing the six fold exponential growth of population
spanning the last 54 years.
From each of these cities hails an artist featured in the exhibit,
each of them bringing a story from their home to share a physical
representation.
The first piece featured, “Take off your shoes and wash your hands,”
by Subodh Gupta from Delhi, India is a strong piece consisting of a
27-meter-long, organizing shelving display of 102 pieces of spotless,
stainless steel kitchenware. With each shelf consisting of a set-up of
plates, cups and canteens with sporadic differences represents the
densely packed neighborhoods of Delhi. As a tribute to the traditions
of family and home life, the piece credits and regards the importance
of meals in the Delhi culture.
Artists like Yin Xiuzhen of Beijing, Asim Waqif of Delhi, and
Hema Upadhyay of Mumbai echo the culture and traditions of
life at home- a common theme throughout the exhibit. The
artist Xiuzhen’s piece, “Temperature,” was made up of recycled
bricks and pieces of clothing from the rubble of demolished
houses in her city where many families were forced into
eviction due to the property system in China, according
to a supplementary informational plaque adjacent to the
exhibit.
Waqif created a piece titled, “Venu,” which is Hindi
for bamboo. In a description of the piece supplied
by the MFA, Waqif’s interactive art in his words is
described as a work “designed to reward people
who are curious.”
A seemingly misshapen creation of rickety
bamboo, cotton, jute rope and tar stands his
piece on an all black blackground, capturing
people from afar. Inside the interactive hutlike structure dangle ropes from the ceiling
vines in a jungle. Structured in outdated Delhi,

methods like concrete and steel, the traditions of home can be

Perhaps one of the biggest stars is the late Hema Upadhyay, who is featured twice in the Gund Gallery with
the pieces “8 x 12” and “Build me a nest so I can rest,” both emphasizing the traditions of home and family. In
“8 x 12,” a visual representation of the living situation of rural “slum” Mumbai is shown, using similar building
materials of houses of Indian neighborhoods within dimensions of an average living space, according to the
MFA. Missing it’s fourth wall, it allows visitors to experience the tightness of the quarters while observing a
bird’s-eye view of how densely packed these neighborhoods are. By using these materials she shows not only
the economic status of most of these people but the richness of the culture and diversity these people have
to offer.
However, it is Upadhyay’s piece, “Build me a nest,” that is truly inspiring. Comprised of 300 small handmade
clay birds, all of which represent a different migratory species to reflect her family’s migration during the
1947 Partition of India, according to the artist in a statement provided by the MFA. Each of the birds holds a
quote in it’s beak which offers words of hope and inspiration. This work speaks volumes with regard to today’s
current immigrant and refugee crises that happen all across the world.
These 19 works hold 19 stories of lives untold. Through the power of visual stimulation, “Megacities Asia”
evokes feelings of awe and sympathy.
Megacities will be open to the public and running until July 17. Students get in for free with a school ID.

A
Amidst the throes of people gathered at the Third Annual Boston Calling Music
Festival in City Hall Plaza, stood thousands of music fans aching to quench their sounddriven thirst for new artists and big headliners.
During a weekend full of strong and empowered women within the music industry,
Boston Calling highlighted a number of current world issues, including gender equalitya common theme shared by most of the groups was the celebration of life and how
short it can be.
Music artist Janelle Monae, who was wheeled onto the stage via hand truck, gave
an incredible performance, which was inspired, by her belief in respect for yourself and
the people around you. She discussed being aware of the world around you, the wage
gap and the constant search for race and gender equality. She was quoted saying to the
crowd, “never take your presence for granted.”
Irish-born performer Hannigan, a singer-songwriter, gave a spectacular performance
with sultry alto-toned vocals and stunning displays of instrumental talent, playing the
guitar, ukelele and mandolin in her half-hour set.
Artists like Lizzo, who has an multiple songs dedicated to self-appreciation, preaches
about learning and understanding self-worth and the importance of loving yourself
with an aggressive bass line and awesome empowering lyrics.
True to form, Sia appeared in her Cruella de Ville wig that covered half of her face,
complete with a comically large bow on her head, and achingly beautiful set comprised
of tales of abuse and heartbreak.
Boston-born band Palehound, with female lead-guitarist Ellen Kempner, kicked off
the blisteringly hot Saturday event with a set of cool indie-rock vocals and and an
appreciation for the celebration of local bands and expressing that, “it’s important to
get involved.”
Keeping with the theme of having a good time and enjoying life, French group
Christine and the Queens hosted the ultimate dance party. With thumping techno
sound and catchy lyrics, Christine (birth name Héloïse Letissier) and her surrounding
group of hip-hop dancers had everyone moving and grooving throughout their entire
set with parting words, “stay freaky.”
Ending the weekend in style were icons Elle King, Janelle Monae and Haim. Elle
King, known for her chart-topping hits, preached about seizing moments and addressed
the audience by and said, “if someone tells you not to do something, do it.”
Rock and roll goddesses Haim sang about being taken advantage of and finding
people in your life who you can trust and enjoy being around. The trio of sisters had
just come off performing select dates during Taylor Swift’s 1989 tour, posted on their
Instagram page.
The festival will be moving to the Harvard University’s Athletic Complex in Allston
next spring, and in efforts to prepare for an additional film appreciation segment,
organized by Harvard alumna Natalie Portman, the organization will not be holding it’s
annual fall edition. This spring will have been the final installment at the City Hall Plaza
site, and it will continue to be put on once a year over Memorial Day Weekend. This
relocation will be done in the hopes of expanding on an already very diverse musical
lineup, as well as building on a combination of art, comedy, and film, according to a
press release in late May from 44 Communications, the firm that handles the festivals
public relations.

Troupe chooses laughter, first
Felicity Otterbein
Arts Editor
Some students choose
to express their passion.
Whether it’s on the field
or stage, students of
Suffolk University choose
to be involved in their
university. For Seriously
Bent, one of the two
sketch comedy groups on
campus, they’ve chosen to
make people laugh.
Despite losing their
manager, which caused
turmoil for the executive
board, naming two new
captains to handle their
affairs, it seems Seriously
Bent is looking for serious
success.
Recently, the laughing
crew
finished
second
at the College Improv
Tournament
National
Championship in Chicago
this spring and snagged
the title of first in the
Regional College Improv
Tournament in 2014.
Junior theater major
Claire Boyle looks forward
gaining new relationships
and
expanding
her
network
of
current
members and alumni.
“I think growing as a
team, especially with new
members is going to be
great,” said Boyle. “We
didn’t lose any seniors,
so, because there was no
loss, that means we, as a
team, get to spend more
time together and get
stronger.”
Evoking
laughs
at
various
comedy
hot
spots around Boston, the
group is known for doing
productions with other
schools in the area, like
Northeastern University
and Brandeis University,
according to Boyle.
“We’re
hoping
to
go to Clark University
[Worcester, MA],” she
said. “Their improv group
has come to us in the
past, so it would be cool
to go to them.”
Unlike
most
performing arts groups,
Seriously Bent will not
be as affected by the
Temple Street buildings
sale. Their performances
mainly took place on a
weekly basis in the 150
Tremont Street basement
every Thursday. However,
at the end of every year,
they produce their own
two-hour revue with the
PAO.
“The Seriously Bent
End Revue is a special
show for the group,” said
Associate Director of the
Performing Arts Office
Kathy Maloney.
“It is unlike any of
the other shows they
do all year. It combines
the type of improv and
structures that everyone
has enjoyed watching the
group perform regularly
at their weekly residence
hall shows and other
Courtesy of Claire Boyle
performances
around
town with some self
written sketches.”
Behind Seriously Bent’s
success is ImprovBoston
member Tony Passafiume
who gives guidances and
support on different ways
and techniques to get the
crowd laughing.
With
Passafiume
involved, the group is
excited about working
toward
this
year’s
upcoming
Regional
College
Improv
Tournament,
which
acts as the qualifier for
a trip to the National
Championship in Chicago,
as well as their own revue
at the end of year and
hosted improv festival,
according to Blackburn.
“It’s nice to be a part
of something,” she said.
“I know that I’ve made
friends that will last
throughout my college
career.”
According
to
sophomore
Allison
Blackburn, the group
meets twice a week,
outside of their scheduled
Thursday performances at
150 Tremont basement to
write their own sketches,
do exercises to build up
their skill-set, and do a
workshop to improve on
their ideas as a way to
prepare for the show.
This fall, they plan
on holding their annual
fall semester auditions
around the third week of
September to get a sense
of the incoming potential
talent, and are open to
taking new members,
according to the group.

Bent performances at

Lack of tabling may pique student interest
Patrick Holmes
Opinion Editor
As a school that is
centrally
focused
on
its students to make a
difference, succeed and
tell a story, Suffolk has
backtracked on its way to
creating a more involved
student university. For
many
years,
Suffolk
has allowed its clubs to
showcase their mission at
orientation. But, for the
upcoming freshmen, their
orientations will not allow
them the introduction to
the diverse opportunities
within the community.
Including orientation,
the
Temple
Street
involvement fair was a
way for new students to
explore the options that
Suffolk offers outside the
classroom whether it be
joining comedy troupes
or making battlebots. As
an ongoing, historic and
well
known
tradition
for years, as students
acknowledged the last fair
the overall presumption
and hope was that Suffolk
would reasonably replace
it with something similar.
However, with no plans in
sight it appears that won’t
be the case as of yet.
In a previous interview
with the Journal, outgoing
Suffolk
University
President
Margaret
McKenna expressed her
firm belief of finding new
student space as Suffolk
real
estate
became
smaller.
Said
McKenna
in
October in an interview
with the Journal, “I want
to be able to provide
students all the resources
possible so they can have
that engagement in the
community. Students that
engage stay.”
So, while controversy
and problems may have
plagued
McKenna’s
mission as her presidency
and chaotic involvement
with the Board dominated
much of her time at
Suffolk, with the loss of
buildings, loss of student
space and what seems
to be a student body
in need of community,
it’s
off-putting
that
tabling at orientation
be compromised due to
lack of student space,
information provided by
leaders at a LEAP retreat
this spring.
But, lack of student
space should not limit
Suffolk from engaging
its incoming students
and it hasn’t; admissions
at Suffolk created the
influential
hashtag
#SuffolkSaidYes
for
the students who were
accepted, which seemed
to establish an online,
involved community for
the forward looking class.
However, did Suffolk
create this online platform
to distract perspective
students from the turmoil
that happened this past
year? It could have been
an effort to save the
looming reality of yet
another president out
the door. But is an online
community what’s next
for the engaged student
base at Suffolk?
The possibility may
be real since SUConnect
is in the realm of Suffolk
used resources allocated
to students. Yet, will
an online student base
even compare to a firm
handshake and a smile
from a club member?
The next moves for
Suffolk to engage its
current and incoming
students
are
endless.
But the university could
utilize the new space in
front of the Somerset
building; Roemer Plaza.
Such an area would not
only introduce clubs and
organizations, but also
showcase what Suffolk
has to offer in new space
and the future it has to
offer for students.
That being said, the
lack of student space
is not an excuse for
tabling to be left out of
orientation. Suffolk may
be heading toward a
more technology driven
community; or maybe
there is more in store for
the opportunities Suffolk
has to offer.
A PERSONAL STORY:
Journey program help students realize their potential
Katie Dugan
Journal Staff
In the past few months,
more
than
700,000
students had submitted
their
applications
to
universities
of
their
choice. In a cluster of
recommendation letters,
SAT scores and academic
transcripts,
admissions
offices are starting to look
more heavily on one other
aspect of a prospective
student- leadership and
involvement. Universities
are starting to look for
the personality warmth,
energy, and character
that SAT scores and
high grades can’t always
reflect. Colleges, much
like future employers, are
putting a larger emphasis
on what the student can
bring to their institution
or business based off of
background
experience
instead of just a GPA
number. Leadership alone
can now make or break
an application.
Suffolk
University
is certainly not the
“traditional”
college.
Instead of a peaceful,
quiet
campus
with
rolling hills of green
grass, we have a campus
of skyscrapers and the
sounds of honking horns
and construction. For
me, Suffolk University
has
redefined
the
stereotypical
college
experience.
Suffolk’s multitude of
extracurricular programs
made
available
to
students are what shape
the
university.
From
greek life to religious
organizations,
the
vegetarian society, radio
show and the Student
Government Association,
there is something here
at Suffolk for everyone. If
you want to leave college
with more than a piece
of paper, get involved in
something. You will get
more out of your college
experience and major
with hands-on practice
than just sitting in a
classroom. The rewarding
experiences you will gain
from participating will
stay with you long after
graduation day and trickle
into your professional
future.
One club I always push
to incoming freshmen is
the Journey Leadership
Program. Journey is an
organization on campus
whose mission is to
instill leadership qualities
into
its
participants.
The very first program
I participated in was a
three-day retreat in New
Hampshire for level one
Journey students. Up
until this trip, I hadn’t
known what it meant to
be a leader. A leader in
my mind was confident,
extroverted, and capable
of anything.
I was mistaken.
One thing from this
trip that I will never
forget was when one
of the leaders told us
about a woman named
Kitty Genovese, who was
raped and stabbed to
death in 1964 outside
of her apartment in
Queens. Dozens of people
claimed they heard Kitty’s
cries for help, but no
one tried to save her.
Our leader wanted us
to realize that being a
leader meant speaking
up and being proactive
in situations outside your
comfort zone. I left this
retreat with a completely
new outlook on life. I
remember
feeling
an
insurmountable amount
of hope and positivity
about the next four
years. As someone who
struggles with anxiety,
one of the most crippling
aspects
is
constantly
feeling incapable. The
idea that I was in control
of my own success and
happiness was infinitely
healing.
That trip was the
catalyst to dozens of
remarkable experiences
I had with Journey.
Being involved with this
program continues to
change my life and my
outlook. This program has
made me more confident,
generous,
and
openminded than I was when I
started college. My advice
to incoming freshmen
would be to mold your
college experience into
something that will make
you a better version of
yourself for you and
your future employer.
Don’t let your insecurities
prevent you from the
person you’ve always
wanted to be. Whether
it’s the Journey Program,
a sorority or debate team,
do yourself a favor a get
involved on campus.

Editor’s Word
On behalf of The Suffolk
Journal, we are very pleased to
welcome in an incoming class.
In a time when representing
and advocating for student
voice could not be more
important, we’ve had the
distinguished pleasure of being
at the forefront of Suffolk
University affairs for nearly 77
years.
As we embark on a new
year, keeping both the past
and present in mind, as your
award-winning news force,
there is a great responsibility
Sanders’ solutions hold errors
From ERRORS page 4 error in the solutions Sen. inflation
second issue is that
while costs goes up, the
quality of many goods will
likely come down. While
the motivations behind
both Sanders and Trump’s
protectionist policies are
understandable perhaps
even laudable, the loss
incurred by protectionism
greatly outweighs what is
gained. Economics aside
however, protectionism
is
morally
wrong.
Protectionism is your
government telling you
“No, you can’t spend your
money there you have to
spend it here.”
Not just trade, but
economic
policy
in
general seems to be a
very peculiar aspect of
this race, particularly
that of Sen. Sanders.
Sen. Sanders is valid to
put great importance
on issues like income
inequality
and
crony
capitalism.
There
is,
however, a fundamental
Sander’s sees in these
issues: His democratic
socialist ideology argues
that these issues and many
other should be dealt
with through expanded
government,
increased
regulation, and more
federal involvement.
Income inequality has
been a direct result of the
uncontrolled printing and
borrowing by the Federal
Reserve. Every minute of
every day, new money
is being printed, thus
lowering the value of the
money every day people
have in their wallets and
bank accounts. Raising
the minimum wage would
not do anything to help
this, it may lift people up
temporarily (at cost of
making it more expensive
to operate a business)
but if the Federal Reserve
continues
with
this
uncontrolled printing and
borrowing,
eventually,
as has happened now,
will outgrow
wages and in a number
of years the exact same
argument about needing
to raise the minimum
wage will reoccur. In
order to fix income
inequality, there needs
to be massive reform in
monetary policy so as to
prevent the Government
from continuing to rob
the working class through
inflation carried out by
the Federal Reserve.
Then of course we have
the current candidate, and
at this point is probably
fair to assume as the
presumptive democratic
nominee Hillary Rodham
Clinton. One could rack
their brain for hours
and struggle to find one
positive thing to say
about Secretary Clinton.
Obviously
there’s
the
various scandals, be it
Whitewater Real Estate,
Libya, her email servers,
or any of the others she’s
been involved in. Then
O
there are her many clear
and
undeniable
flipflops on various issue
over the years. What’s
more off putting about
her however, is that
she
represents
what
the worst part of both
parties. On the economy
she is a watered down
less genuine version of
Sanders. On her foreign
policy, Secretary Clinton
may as well be John
Mccain or George W
Bush. While she was
secretary of state, the U.S.
military
[unprovoked]
entered Libya dispose of
its leader and create a
“democracy.” She has also
promised to set up nofly zones in Syria, which
would most likely lead to
eventual armed conflicts.
Does this not sound more
like the foreign policy of a
neoconservative military
hawk like John Mccain
or Lindsey Graham, as
opposed to a progressive
democrat?
in delivering the news you
have the right to know. But, we
cannot do this alone.
As future leaders of the Suffolk
community and a news team
that has heard it all, we
encourage any and all students
to reach out to us to let their
story be told.
While we hope you enjoy your
Orientation festivities and
becoming acquainted with the
university easily, it’s no secret

sex marriage, Sec.
Clinton has consistently
flip-flopped.
Campaign finance has
been an issue Sec. Clinton
is continuously silent on
as she was pressed on her
campaign contributions
by then Senator Obama
in 2008 and now Sen.
Sanders in 2016. In one
of the first presidential
debates when Maryland
Gov. Martin O’Malley
was in the running,
Sec.
Clinton
listed
numerous
companies
questionable
banking
methods. Sec. Clinton
has stated she wants to
break up the big banks,
yet those are her biggest
campaign
contributors.
Sec. Clinton cites Lehman
Brothers and investments
banks on shadow banking
and tax evasion in her
explanation
of
how
these companies must be
more heavily regulated.
When looking at her
campaign contributions,
Lehman brothers gave
over $363,000 dollars to
Clinton and investment
banks
nearly
three
million since her political
start in 1989, according
to the Huffington Post.
How can one promise
same
companies
in
which they have received
contributions?
In the social light,
Sec. Clinton did not come
out in support of gay
marriage until 2013 in a
Human Rights Campaign
Ad,
according
to
PolitiFact. In an interview
with Chris Matthews in
2002, on the Senate floor
in 2004, and even in 2010
on an open forum she
stated her disapproval
of
gay
marriage.
Clinton’s
continuous
inconsistencies
and
changing
policy
lose
independent voters.
Recently, Rasmussen
reported a 41 percent
to 39 percent poll in
the
general
election.
In another poll from
Quinnipiac
this
year,
Sec. Clinton is predicted
to beat Trump by seven
points while Sanders in
that poll and many others
beats Trump by double
digits.
A
Donald
Trump
presidency cannot be
risked.
With
the
most
experience
and
with
unquestionable
consistency,
Sanders
would be the only one
able to surely secure
the independent vote
and give Democrats the
best statistical chance
of retaining the White
House.

“Whether my
team went 33-9
or 9-33, I am
very honored to
be a part of this
team.”
-Delaney Sylvester
Skylar To
Sports Editor
With their recognition,
they are looking to
display the honor on and
off of the field to grow as
athletes as well as to help
the softball team fulfill an
ultimate goal: to capture
a
Greater
Northeast
Athletic
Conference
(GNAC) Championship.
Sophomore Jill Pulek
and
junior
Delaney
Sylvester were named
with spots on the National
Fastpitch
Coaches
Association (NFCA) on
Wednesday,
May
18.
Pulek was named to the
first team and Sylvester
was named to the third
team.
Pulek, a catcher, a
designated hitter and
third base player, said
her selection to first
team means a lot to
her, and she appreciates
getting recognition for
her hard work ethic and
success. The 19-year-old
Cheshire,
Connecticut
“I think I was
able to find
success with
my given role
on the team.”
-Jill Pulek
native finished the season
as one of the top hitters
in the GNAC, earned the
GNAC Corvias Rookie of
the Week twice, got on
base at a conference-best,
and slugged a team high
of .798.
“I have hit well, I think
I was able to find success
with my given role on the
team,” said Pulek.
Both players praised
their
teammates
for
helping them earn the
honors, and Sylvester,
who
plays
center,
extends her gratitude to
her former and current
coaches and family.
Since
Sylvester’s
freshman
year,
the
19-year-old
Worcester,
Massachusetts native has
improved on her hits,
and she produced “a lot”
of runs batted in (RBI) as
she led the team with 46
RBI.
“Though I made the
second team [2015 NFCA
All-Region]
freshman
year,
[my
sophomore
year] I did a lot better,”
said Sylvester.“I was more
consistent through the
year and my bat stayed
hot the whole season. I
believe I became a lot
more selfless at the plate
and I developed a small
game.”
With their numbers,
Pulek
and
Sylvester
contributed
to
the
success of the Lady Rams
2015-16 season. The team
won their second straight
GNAC regular season title
and closed out the season
with the most wins in
softball program history,
a 33-9 record.
“Whether my team
went 33-9 or 9-33, I am
very honored to be a
part of this team,” said
Sylvester.
“It is awesome to be a
part of Suffolk University
softball history,” said
Pulek. “I want to continue
working hard to be even
better.”
However,
after
a
“tough” 9-1 elimination
to Emmanuel College in
the GNAC Tournament,
Pulek
and
Sylvester
stressed the team’s goal
in winning a GNAC
Championship.The team
also lost to Emmanuel in
a 9-7 GNAC Tournament
game on Friday, May 6.
With three games to play
on Saturday, May 7, their
teammates efforts did not
go unnoticed, as Pulek
said, “[her teammates]
gave it their all, and that
is all that matters.”
“We were swinging
the bats really well, and
produced seven runs,”
said Slyvester. “But, it was
the first time all season
that we allowed more
than six runs against us.
There were times that we
had hits that didn’t fall
our way and there were
times that hits fell their
way.”
Sylvester thinks the
team will be able to
improve as a group from
this past season, and make
adjustments to be even
better and successful.
Sylvester said the team
went from not being
able to score a run her
freshman year to finishing
the past two seasons
first in the conference
and winning two GNAC
Tournament games in the
post-season in a 9-5 win
versus Albertus Magnus
and a 7-2 win against St.
Joseph (Conn.) on May 7
before their 9-1 loss to
Emmanuel in the GNAC
Tournament elimination
round.
“I am looking to really
improve my small game
that I developed this year,
because I think it will
be a huge asset for me,”
said Sylvester. “I plan on
working hard during the
off-season to really keep
my bat hot for the next
season as well.”
“And now after the
past two seasons that
I have had, I think I am
going to be a lot more
patient at the plate and
really look for my pitch
when I am hitting or
catching, I think I need
to continue to be a leader
behind the plate for my
team.”
Besides
playing
alongside players who
share a love for the game
and goals in keeping up the
winning record, winning
a GNAC Championship
and making a run in
the National Collegiate
Athletics
Association
(NCAA)
Regional
Tournament, Pulek and
Sylvester
have
made
lifelong friends being a
part of the program. The
team has a family-like
bond.
“We are friends off of
the field, which carries
over to the field and it
makes it so much easier
to win games,” said
Sylvester.
Along with growing
as a player in the past
year, Sylvester, a biology
major, likes to think she
has helped her teammates
grow as well.
“A lot of them come
to me when they have
questions about hitting
and their swings,” said
Sylvester. “[Head Softball
Coach
Jaclyn
Davis]
always tell me that I have
a “high softball IQ.”
Pulek,
a
biology
major, who entered her
freshman year with “little
to no expectations,” said
the team consists of truly
an amazing group of girls.

Suffolk coaches distinguished by conference honors
Davis breaks barrier for women in athletics
Skylar To
Sports Editor
The 2015-16 season
was better than Head
Softball Coach Jaclyn
Davis
could
have
imagined.
Davis led the team to
its most winning record
in history as the Lady
Rams finished the regular
season with a 33-9 record
on May 4. Davis achieved
her 100th career victory
by 87 of those games as
a result of her four years
serving as head coach at
Suffolk.
“The
season
was
fun,
challenging
and
emotional—and it ended
up
being
the
most
successful
season
in
program history, which
is incredible,” said Davis
in an interview with the
Journal.
To top off the season,
Davis was named the
Greater Northeast Athletic
Conference (GNAC) Coach
of the Year on May 9,
which Davis said is a
great honor.
“As a young, female in
the coaching profession, it
can get pretty tough to be
respected, which is always
a challenge,” said Davis.
“Recognition like [being
named GNAC Coach of
the Year] is validating and
acknowledges that people
have respect for the work
that I have put into this
program.”
Davis, who said she
worked hard to rebuild
the program in 2013 in
her first season coaching,
praised the program’s
success.
“This just means that
I have found a strong,
dedicated, hardworking
group of young women to
represent Suffolk on the
field,” said Davis. “When
they get on the field, it’s
not about me or them, it’s
about us as a program.”
Though team faced
challenges
this
year,
Davis helped them stay
mentally tough and game
ready.
“This group of studentathletes
is
extremely
special,” she said. “They
are young, passionate and
hungry, and they worked
all year to prepare for
the season. Their work
ethic and dedication to
the program as a whole is
what sets them a part.”
“The
successes
of
this season mean that I
am staying true to who
I want to be as their
coach and that they have
bought into this program,
and are working to be the
best that they can be as
Suffolk student-athletes.”
The team persevered
through the challenges
they faced and won many
games, however they fell
short in their fifth straight
appearance in the GNAC
post-season tournament
and were eliminated on
May 7, in their third game
9-1 loss to Emmanuel.
Despite what Davis
saw as playing extremely
well, she said at some
point the game got away
from the team quickly.
But she’s confident that
the team will bounce back
from the loss.
“I don’t think the
score of that game is
definitive of who we are
as a program or even
the season that we had,”
said Davis. “While we
had some things working
against us, no one played
with more heart that day.”
With the departure
of some seniors, Davis
is looking to recruit and
enahnce the team.
In order to do so,
Davis plans to have the
team train year round to
improve on their skills
as individuals as well as
to learn from mistakes
made to ultimately build
onto their success as a
program moving forward.
In a recent interview
with the Journal, Davis
shared she will continue
to work hard to set her
team up for success, and
knows her team will be
doing the same wherever
they are this summer.
“Every
year
there
are things we want to
improve on and do better,
I always want to be able
to give them more and
better of whatever that
is,” said Davis.

Head Coach Jaclyn Davis
led the softball team to their 33-9
record-breaking season this year.
Del Prete leads team to another championship, NCAA run
Skylar To
Sports Editor
Suffolk
University’s
baseball team finished
another season coming
out on top.
With the team
looking to defend their
2015
championship
title, it was an “exciting
moment” when the team
accomplished that goal.
On May 8 against Saint
Joseph’s College of Maine
(Standish, ME), they left
Rhode Island with the
first back-to-back Greater
Northeast
Athletic
Conference
(GNAC)
championship
in
the
program’s 69 years. With
a strong desire to win,
Head
Baseball
Coach
Anthony Del Prete said
the team was motivated in
achieving the goals they
set out to accomplish.
The team’s success
was recognized under
Del Prete being named
the GNAC Coach of the
Courtesy of Suffolk Athletics
Head Baseball Coach Anthony Del Prete
Year. He attributes the
award from the program’s
“quality group of players”
and assistant coaches
John O’Brien, Jay Parker
and Mac Jacobson who
work just as hard to
develop talent for the
program, according to Del
Prete.
“I think our team
played well throughout
the year and showed we
were the best team in the
conference and also one
of the top teams in New
England,” said Del Prete.
They closed out the
2015-16 season with a
33-13 record, the most
wins in a season since the
program’s 38-9 record in
2000.
“I’m happy for the
seniors who were able to
go out on top, but also
happy for the younger
guys as they continue to
set a bar of excellence,”
said Del Prete.
“The
players
are
responsible
for
our
success this season. We
challenged them, and
they responded and were
able to perform at a high
level, so all of the credit
for our success belongs
to them,” said Del Prete.
“[GNAC] Coach of the
Year is a team award
and a reflection of [our]
program.”
Despite being faced
with
challenges
like
inclement
weather
throughout the season,
the team stayed game
ready.
“We
continued
to
remain focused on what
we needed to do to be
good and got some key
contributions from guys
like [graduated senior
right-handed pitcher] Kyle
Turner and [upcoming
senior first base player]
Kevin Belskie who had
strong second halves [of
the season], and helped
us keep pace,” said Del
Prete.
However, Del Prete
thinks the team can be
better. He said that in
12 of the 13 losses of
the season, the team had
the opportunity to tie or
extend the lead.
The
team’s
GNAC
Tournament
Championship win earned
them
an
automatic
qualifying bid into the
National
Collegiate
Athletic
Association
(NCAA) New England
Regional
Tournament,
which is also the program’s
first consecutive back-toback regional appearance.
The team faced “two
quality opponents” and
was
eliminated
from
the NCAA in their 5-2
loss to Keystone College
[Factoryville,
PA]
on
May 18 in Mansfield, CT,
and in their 6-5 loss to
Wheaton College [Norton,
MA] the following day at
the Eastern Connecticut
State University Baseball
Stadium in Willimantic,
CT. Del Prete said the
team had the chance to
win both games, but they
“just came up short.”
Despite the effort and
team’s ability to play well,
he said the team did not
play “well enough.”
The
2015-16
season was a “great
stepping-stone” for the
team. In preparation for
next season, the team
will continue to work
toward being one of
the top teams in New
England and to make a
run in the NCAA. But, to
make it all happen, Del
Prete said the team has
to focus on winning the
GNAC conference first.
“Our
goal
moving
forward is to compete
at the national level.
We will continue to
recruit players that can
perform at a high level
both academically and
athletically here who will
represent our program
well,” said Del Prete. “I
hope our success will help
motivate Suffolk’s other
programs to excel and
also show that this is a
school where you can do
well athletically.”
