Top Stories

Ending two years of speculation and coy denials, Hillary Rodham Clinton an-nounced on Sunday that she would seek the presidency for a second time, immedi-ately establishing herself as the likely 2016 Democratic nominee. “I’m running for president,” she said with a smile near the end of a two-minute video released just after 3 p.m. “Everyday Americans need a champion. And I want to be that cham-pion,” Mrs. Clinton said. “So I’m hitting the road to earn your vote — because it’s your time. And I hope you’ll join me on this journey.” The announcement came min-utes after emails from John D. Podesta, Mrs. Clinton’s campaign chairman, alerting donors and longtime Clinton associates to her candidacy.Mr. Podesta said that Mrs. Clinton would meet soon with voters in Iowa and host a formal kickoff event some time next month.

The U.N. refugee agency says the shipwreck in the Mediterranean this week, in which 400 mi-grants are presumed to have died, is among the deadliest single incidents in the last decade. The tragedy comes amid an unprecedented wave of migrat ion toward Eu-rope from Africa and the Middle East. The Italian Coast Guard said it res-cued nearly 10,000 people at sea since Friday, which was an unprecedented rate in such a short period, according to spokesman, Cmdr. Filippo Marini. UNHCR Italy spokes-woman Barbara Moli-nario says 900 migrants have died or gone missing at sea so far this year, part of a phenomenon the agency has been tracking since 2011. In most cases, no bodies are found and the deaths are presumed based on survivor ac-counts or, when no boats are recovered, reports by family members whose loved ones never arrive in Europe. The UNHCR estimates 3,500 migrants died in the Mediterranean last year, up from 600 in 2013.

Res. Life denies housing woes for Class of 2019

By AnikA Jensen stAff Writer

Despite concerns about the size of the incoming first year class and the possibility of a housing conundrum, the Gettysburg Office of Admis-sions assures students that there i s nothing to worry about.

“The class of 2019 had the largest application num-bers, but it will not be the larges t c lass ,” sa id Heidi Frye, Assistant Director of Admissions.

Patrick Peters, who is from Newark Academy, Florham Park, New Jersey, v is i ted las t weekend. As he has not made his off icial deci-s i on , Pe t e r s was hope fu l t h a t v i s i t i n g w o u l d h e l p him decide.

“Overnights seem like the best way to real ly get a feel for the environment of a school,” he said. “The s choo l i t s e l f i s j u s t go r -g e o u s a n d v e r y w e l c o m -ing…. I j u s t wan t t o s ee people being happy at Get-tysburg.”

“We receive an infor-mation sheet on the student with al l their pert inent in-formation as well as their a c a d e m i c / e x t r a c u r r i c u l a r

enroll ing any bigger class next year.”

Every year the col-lege aims to enroll about 720 first years. “[720] is a com-fortable size for this campus, literally for the number of beds here,” said Frye.

The only recent excep-tion to this is the class of 2016, which had an original enrollment of 801.

Though the incoming f i r s t year c lass had a re -cord number of applications, a round 6 ,300 , enro l lment for the class of 2019 is not expected to be any higher than normal.

“Our goal is to have a high number of applications; it puts us in a favorable posi-tion as far as our acceptance ra te is concerned,” s ta ted Frye. “I t makes us highly selective.”

Around 300 first year students have already reg-i s t e red be fore the May 1 deadl ine , bu t Admiss ions stil l insists that there will not be an issue with housing. There is still the impending “summer melt,” when many prospective students change their college plans, keeping the number of students from exceeding 720.

Addi t ional ly , Nathan Arndt , on behalf of Resi-dence Life, said that “the housing s i tuat ion wil l re-main the same as this year. The only time we have had to shift students was for the current Junior class, and we used a floor on Musselman for the overflow of first-year students.”

One rumor surrounding the possibility of an undesir-able housing situation is a low number of upperclass s tudents being al lowed to live off-campus. However, Frye insists that this is not the case and that only about

150 students live off-campus every year. To do so, they must meet certain require-ments, including GPA and discipl inary and f inancial standing.

Though students may be concerned about their liv-ing situation, Heidi Frye re-mains assured: “In my seven years here , the sent iment from students is that they have been happy and com-fortable with their housing. There are no horrible places to live, even if students do not get their top choice.”

London Medics Rush to the Aid of an Injured PigeonLondon medical workers rushed to the aid of what they thought was a collapsed

woman Sunday evening, only to discover that the being in need was actually a pigeon. The person who called emergency services said that a “bird collapsed,” LAS Emer-gency Planning Officer Chris Hawkswell (that’s really his name) said in a tweet. Since those crazy old Brits sometimes refer to women as “birds,” the dispatcher assumed the call was about a human woman. Hawskwell noted that the call handler “stayed on the phone giving lifesaving advice until our paramedic arrived, thinking it was a human woman.” The caller also told the dispatcher that the bird was 25 years old. When senior paramedic Rachel Lack got to the scene, she sad four people were gathered around the ailing pigeon, according to a news release from the London Ambulance Service. “They were surprised to learn that the ambulance service is for humans not animals,” she said in the news release. Unfortunately, though staff did attempt to help the pigeon, the bird did not make it. In the news release, Director of Operations Jason Killens advised UK residents to contact the RSPCA about animals in need.

Cop Impersonator Tries to Pull Over Real Cops

Florida man John Arthur Benedict, 69, was arrested Saturday after cops say he tailed and then pulled over a pair of undercover detectives with the Lee County Sher-iff’s Office while impersonating an officer.The officers drove a white, unmarked SUV that Benedict later claimed he saw speeding. Police said that the fake cop drove a Crown Victoria with strobe lights and a “police interceptor” emblem on it. From afar the cruiser looked legit, so the driver of the undercover vehicle pulled over. There, one of the officers got out of the car and asked Benedict if he was a cop. The police report was redacted, so it’s unclear what Benedict’s response was. It did say that he alleg-edly bought and installed the emblem because he wanted his Crown Victoria to look like a cop car. Benedict later described the incident as a “senior moment,” and said he’d never done anything like that before. However, the man’s son admitted his dad had impersonated a cop before, turning on the strobe lights to direct traffic at accident scenes in Lee and Harris counties, according to the police report.

On Sunday March 29 as the clock was nearing 4:00 p.m., Gettysburg College’s Majestic Theater was flooded with people. Local country radio station WGTY 107.7 sponsored a country music concert with Kristian Bush of Sugarland opening for up-and-coming country star Kip Moore, who was headlining. Bush came on stage and immediately made a joke about how people who first hear him perform as a solo act wonder if he can actually sing, due to the fact that he was not famous for his vocals

during his time as a part of Sugarland. He talked about the fact that he had a new album, Southern Gravity, coming out on April 7th and played a few tracks from it. This included the song “Trailer Hitch”, which has been played on many radio stations since its release. He also, much to the crowd’s delight, played a few famous Sugarland tracks like “Baby Girl” and “Stuck Like Glue”. K i p M o o r e w a s greeted with loud applause when he entered the room. He started his portion of the concert by saying that he wanted the atmosphere

to be that of a “living room hang,” and got comfortable on stage drinking wine from a solo cup. The “living room hang” atmosphere meant that Moore talked about his songs before he played each one, which offered some insight into how and why he writes his music. He played fan favorites, “Dirt Road,” “Beer Money,” “Somethin’ ‘Bout a Truck,” and “Hey Pretty Girl,” among others including his new single, “I’m to Blame.” Overall, it was a great concert with two excellent musicians who created a very fun atmosphere.

Gettysburg College’s In-ternational Affairs Association, which meets Thursdays from 8-9 PM in Weidensall 301, provides its members with a range of op-portunities to advance their pub-lic speaking, critical thinking and teamwork skills. Recently, from March 16 to 20, several members attended the Harvard World Model United Nations (World-MUN) conference in Seoul, Korea where they were able to discuss and debate international “hot topics” while becoming introduced to South Korea.

At the conference, their delegates were split into three committees: the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Unit-ed Nations Security Council (UNSC), and the Council of the Paris Commune, 1871. They all served as Australia, with the exception of a delegate in the Paris Commune, who acted a French feminist Paule Mink. The schedule of the conference was packed with riveting events

including committee meetings, social events, and in-conference trips.

Marley Dizney Swanson ‘18 who was on the Security Council discussed ISIS and the Ukranian Crisis.

Her favorite part of par-ticipating in Model UN was studying global issues in-depth. “Nothing teaches you more about a topic than having to argue about it for days on end! It gives you a different perspective on world issues, as you’re arguing from different countries viewpoints,” she said.

She hopes to go into poli-tics in the future, and believes that being aware of world issues makes her more aware of what is going on in the news. “Being able to apply the knowledge I’ve learned at Gettysburg to confer-ences makes my education seem so much more valuable.”

During their weekly meet-ings, the IAA selects a specific international issue to discuss. Students can also come to the meetings and present about im-portant weekly news. Delegates

who attend conferences have their own special training sessions where they learn parliamentary procedure, directive writing, and portfolio powers: all vital skills for participating in a confer-ence.

“Model UN has definitely enhanced my college experience. The global travel I have been able to take part in through Model UN has furthered my global mindset, a concept Gettysburg College is very passionate about students fostering,” said Maja Thomas ‘17, who also attended the Model UN Conference.

Clearly, the IAA is an outstanding club dedicated to increasing awareness of inter-national issues and their impact, and gives its members a chance to grow and learn tremendously. To learn more about the IAA, drop by their next meeting this Thursday at 8PM in Weidensall 301.

In addition to classes, the two students also partake in a full-time internship on Capitol Hil l at the U.S House of Repre-sentatives. Connor Rose, a political science major, has always wanted to intern in a congressional office. “I want to be at the center of all the politics,” he said.

Work ing in the con -gressional office has proven to be chal lenging but ex-t remely memorable . “One of my most difficult tasks, but also one of my favorite tasks, is to answer constitu-en t s ’ ca l l s .

confidence in how a Gettys-burg education has prepared them for their professional experience. “A liberal arts e d u c a t i o n h a s d e f i n i t e l y sharpened my writing skill. It has also taught me to value different perspectives. Dis-cussions inside the classroom have helped me to balance respect for others’ opinions and persistence in my own,” said Natalie Young. Connor Rose gained great ins ight and knowledgeable frame-work on how things work in the Capitol, particularly through his education as a political science major. “Dr. Warshaw’s American Presi-dency class and my partici-pation with the Eisenhower Institute have provided me with a s t rong background in government politics,” he said.

Although this may be an unconvent ional abroad experience, Natalie and Con-nor do not regret their choic-es to study in Washington, D.C. “This is defini tely a wor thwhi l e expe r i ence . I didn’t come to D.C. look-ing to just be a student. I consider this as a valuable o p p o r t u n i t y t o b u i l d m y

When asked what ad-v i c e t h e y w o u l d g i v e t o students in the Lutheran Col-lege Washington Semester, Natalie shared, “I would ab-solutely encourage students to use their Gettysburg con-nections to find an internship they want in D.C.” Connor warned future D.C. students that while on the escalator “stand on the right, walk on the left.”

The 2nd Annual Any-thing is PAULssible 5K was held on Sunday Apri l 15. The event started at the Attic at 10 a.m, followed a route circling campus and ended back at the Att ic where a reception was held for race participants. The Anything is PAULssible 5k was start-ed to honor Paul Detweiler, a Gettysburg College stu-den t and Pennr idge High School graduate, who passed away in 2013 from a cancer-ous brain tumor. The 5k is hosted by the Iota Omicron chapter of Alpha Phi Omega and the Eta Phi chapter of Alpha Chi Rho.

It was a beautiful morn-ing on April 15 as all 271 registered racers checked in and got ready for the race,

and at 10 a.m., they were off!

I t was a grea t a tmo-sphere, with everyone cheer-ing in excitement and ready to run. The first runner to complete the 3.1 mile race, Danny Zeng, completed the race in just 19 minutes and 46 seconds, with an average time per mile of 6 minutes, 22 seconds. Danny was fol-l o w e d c l o s e l y b e h i n d b y Jake Farias in second place and Joshua Alley in third. Caroline Moyer was the first female to complete the race, ea rn ing a pos i t ion of 5 th place. All told, the runners had an average mile time of 12 minutes, 33 seconds.

Af te r the race , a re -ception was held in the At-t ic where pancakes, f rui t , and beverages were served. Although the lines for the pancakes were long at times,

eve ryone apprec ia ted the pick me up after the race and the opportunity to chat with their friends.

A r o u n d n o o n , S a r a Moyer, one of the key orga-nizers of the event, walked up to the microphone and awarded prizes to the win-n e r s a n d r e c o g n i z e d t h e younger par t ic ipants aged ten and under for their awe-some achievement. Sara then gave a moving speech about what this race means to her and what i t means for the memory of her very special friend Paul. “I can feel his p resence wi th us today ,” she said. She also thanked e v e r y o n e w h o w o r k e d t o make this event possible and the participants for coming out and making the event a huge success. “It wouldn’t be PAULssible without all of you,” she said.

College Authors Reception honors scholarly works

By JAMie WelCh

stAff Writer

Musselman Library cel-ebrated the scholarly works of Gettysburg College faculty, staff, and students on Friday at the 17th Annual College Authors Recep-tion.

The library also showcases their work online in the Get-tysburg College institutional re-pository (The Cupola) and in book displays on the library’s main floor. Submissions received by December 31 of last year were honored at the reception. Publica-tions submitted after that date will be recognized at the following year’s reception. This year, the library honored 99 Gettysburg College authors, including 17 stu-dents, who created 143 scholarly works in 2014.

President Janet Morgan Riggs gave a few remarks at the event, thanking the librarians for all the work they do to support student scholarship, and for plan-ning the College Authors Recep-tion, which “they do with such panache every year.” President Riggs also honored a member of the campus community who is no longer with us who served as a driving force behind the an-nual reception-Gale Baker. Gale worked to plan this reception since its start in 1998.

“She did everything to be sure all of your published work

was ready to be displayed, all the way to ironing tablecloths at the last minute to be sure every-thing looked nice for all of us,” President Riggs said. “She was a wonderful person…and I think it’s appropriate that we remem-ber her today and honor her by dedicating this reception to her memory.”

President Riggs then rec-ognized the incredible amount of works that are available in full text, free of charge on The Cupola this year. “Last year, 53% of pub-lications were openly available and anyone can access them, and among this year’s publications, 63% are openly available.” Presi-dent Riggs also talked about the global reach of this effort to move college publications online.

The Cupola has had visi-tors from 145 countries around the world. President Riggs high-lighted the work of Professor Chuck Kann, whose educational resource book on integrated cir-cuits was the first openly avail-able open educational resource published by Gettysburg College. His openly available lab manual has been downloaded by over 1,500 people.

Professor Randy Wilson, a professor of Environmental Studies who coauthored a paper with four students last year which consisted of a customer survey of three farmers markets in the Gettysburg area, spoke briefly

about the value of undergraduate research. He started out by say-ing that most of the faculty came to a liberal arts setting because they have “a deep commitment to teaching and mentoring under-graduate students,” and that they wanted to work at an institution that valued these things.

“But at the same time, we wanted to maintain an active program in research and publica-tion and offer opportunities for students to research.” Wilson said that Gettysburg College is the perfect place to balance these two ideals. He thanked all the students who helped him with his research, and for all the support that the Provosts’ Office gave him to help him conduct his research and pres-ent it to the academic community. “If I had to rely solely on external funding [to conduct research], that would greatly limit opportunities for students to be involved,” he said.

He praised Gettysburg Col-lege for encouraging faculty to coauthor academic publications with undergraduates, and said that Gettysburg College is ahead of the curve: at many big institutions, it is rare for undergraduates to coauthor papers. He closed his re-marks by thanking everyone who works make research happen at Gettysburg College, and encour-aged everyone to be thankful that they are a part of such a fantastic educational institution.

Do you want to have less plastic in your life? I know I do—but unfortunately it is everywhere. It is in our clothes, in our shampoo, in our oceans... yuck. Besides avoiding plastic because you simply want more “natural” substances in your life, there are other rationales to be aware of that might convince you to decrease your consumption of it. Plastic takes hundreds of years to biodegrade. That means that every ounce of plastic ever made on Earth is still out there somewhere. Plastic is also pollut-ing our land and oceans. The world’s largest landfill is actually in the ocean—the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. It is estimated that there are 270,000 tons (so, 540,000,000 pounds) of garbage floating in the oceans. You can absolutely be a part of helping to diminish this amount. You might say that plastic is okay to use because you always recycle it. Unfortunately, even if it makes it to the recycling bin, odds are that it will not really be recycled. To start, there are not that many products currently be-ing made with recycled plastic, as new materials are more desirable because they are cheaper (recy-cling is an expensive process). Though it is a commonly held be-lief that, like aluminum and glass,

plastic will be converted into new similar objects, more often they are “down-cycled” into textiles, plastic lumber, doormats, etc. The EPA has collected data of recycling across the U.S., and has found that 93% of plastic is not recovered (put in recycling bins) and goes straight to landfills. That is an outrageously high number. So what is one to do if recycling is even a bad option? Stop buying disposable plastic items. Some suggestions I have for freeing your life from dispos-able plastic on campus:1) Reusable water bottles. I recommend stainless steel over a plastic one, not just because of the theme of this article, but because even “BPA free” bottles are known to contain other sub-stances that still leach into your drink. Whatever you do, though, do not buy the disposable “Get-tysburg” water bottles at Bullet. 2) While you’re at it, con-sider buying a reusable green take-out container, which they keep in the back of the Bullet Hole. They are about $7 each, and you can student charge. Just ask the cashier.3) Reusable bags. There is nothing dorky about looking after our planet, so use those things with pride. If you forget, plastic bags have a lesser carbon footprint than paper—and even less if you reuse them again af-terwards (as a trash bag, picking up after your dog, various home

improvement situations... Google it!)4) Buy in bulk whenever possible. Bigger things have a smaller surface to volume ratio, so less packaging is almost al-ways used. If there is no larger size of what you want, pick the brand that uses the least packag-ing. 5) Replace all your clean-ing supplies (read: funky chemi-cals in plastic packaging) with one completely natural and com-pletely effective alternative: white vinegar. Seriously! You can even add lemon and orange peels to this natural disinfectant to get it to smell nice.6) Whenever you can, re-place plastic-packaged grocery products (like condiments) with glass that can be reused again and again. How do you get the actual condiment, you ask? Make your own! 7) Discover the pressure cooker. To avoid things packaged in cans (Wait, aluminum? Nope, they are lined with BPA, a plastic that is a known endocrine dis-rupter), you can soak dried foods (like beans) overnight and then pop them in a pressure cooker. Voila!8) Replace shampoo and conditioner with, respectively, coconut oil and Castille soap. The coconut oil acts as a precon-ditioner, which you wash out with the Castille soap. Woo-hoo!

How to reduce your plastic consumption and “go green”

tics. What it would be is an astounding achievement for American women. Her elec-t ion would s ignal a s ta rk t rans i t ion in our na t ion’s his tory. Representat ion is critically important. Hillary plans to advocate for wage equality, specifically reach-ing out to women’s issues in the gendered wage gap.

I was particularly im-pressed with her announce-ment video, which showed a number of different people of diverse race and sexual orientations saying that they are all ready for new things. Clinton only appears at the end of the video, but she ad-vocates for a restoration of the middle class and prom-ises economic changes.

Although her message was certainly important, the demographics represented in the video were more impor-tant to me. That, of course, is a message in itself and was definitely carefully crafted by people working on her campaign; it reaffirmed why I liked her as a candidate.

C l i n t o n i n c l u d e d s o many different people be-cause that is the image of America. I t’s no surprise, but for many years, liberals have been more likely to at-tract a wide variety of vot-ers than conservatives. This wor ld i s chang ing p re t ty quickly now. With the legal-

ization of same-sex marriage in the past few years and the emphasis on affordable healthcare, it baffles me that the conservat ives running are continually isolating a large portion of the Ameri-can population.

We need Hi l l a ry be -cause she won’t try to iso-late her voters. Through her announcement v ideo , she affirmed that she is trying to speak for LGBT Ameri-cans, Hispanic-Americans, African-Americans, Asian-Americans and all women. The inclusion of these dif-ferent people in her video shows that she is actually trying to be a “champion” for the American people. Unlike the Republicans running for off ice , middle-aged white men a re no t he r t a rge ted voter group.

I need Hillary because the thought of her mere pres-ence in the highest American office makes me feel like I have a voice. Women have been isolated from these po-sitions of power for so long. I ’m t i red of wai t ing . She has the kind of strength and will that I greatly admire. She has the opportunity to set new political and social precedents. And as far as I’m concerned, she already is my champion.

I’m ready for Hillary.

This past Sunday, Hill-a ry Cl in ton dec la red tha t she is running for President of the United States . I ’ve long awaited her announce-ment and will happily say that I am Ready for Hillary. Because Obama ran for his second term in 2012, I knew she would most l ikely not run until 2016. I had some fears that she would not end up running.

When she released her new book last summer like many others, I had a feeling that she was going to run. I don’t follow politics intense-ly, but I know enough to say that I want her to be the next president and hopefully shat-ter the glass ceiling.

Having a black presi-dent was incredible progress from all of the former white presidents that we have had. But I’m not ready for 2016 to be the end of that progress. We cannot rever t to what we’ve always known. Some women are in the American po l i t i ca l sphere , bu t tha t sphere is still predominantly occupied by men.

The election of a female president would not com-pletely eradicate the problem of sexism in the workplace, nor would it guarantee more female involvement in poli-

knowledge that racism and sexism are a part of Greek L i fe r igh t he re and r igh t now. Instead, he pointed to historical racism and argued that “the lack of diversity in fraternities was a symptom of the larger campus commu-nity, rather than the disease itself.”

This evasiveness has bled over into the student body as well. Gettysburg’s SAE chapter released a state-ment totally ignoring their own issues of exclusionary practices and biases: “Their actions are not indicative of any Greek society organiza-t ion and certainly are not indica t ive of our Chapter or any of us individually.” It shouldn’t have to be said t h a t G e t t y s b u r g s t u d e n t s would not hurt people be-cause of their race. However, all Greek organizations are inherently exclusive.

IFC Pres ident Lynch said as much in his open let-ter when he says exclusivity needs to be redefined, but he refuses to admit that ex-clusivity is a problem here and now in fraterni t ies at Gettysburg. This exclusivity propagates unintentional bi-ases such as racism, classism and certainly, sexism. The administration and everyone in Greek Life seems to thank god for each minute they spend out of the limelight for some sort of racist or sexual offense, but should that be the low bar we set our stan-dards by?

I t fee ls l ike I get an e-mail about a new sexual of fense every week. How is rape so prevalent here? SASA, The Women’s Center and other campus organiza-tions have done a lot of great work to spread knowledge about consent and sexua l issues, but they cannot go on the offensive. These or-gan iza t ions a r e bound to defense by their unwritten commitment to make Get-tysburg College seem like a nice place to go to school. I’m not so sure that is the best strategy any more. We should all be willing to go on the offensive when we see a problem at Gettysburg.

Thankfully we have not made the news for the subtle

biases and shrugged-off rac-ist remarks that fill the pages of Surge and Fringe or for the seemingly endless strand of sexual violence that is plagu-ing our campus. But someday we will if we don’t address these issues now. President Riggs is acting beyond her words with the creation of a ful l - t ime Ti t le IX posi -tion. This action shows that although her words indicate the issue is a national con-cern, she understands that the solution needs to come from Gettysburg first.

I wish I could say the same about Greek Life here. They have agreed to some sort of meaningless inves-tigation which will find no b i a s e d o r d i s c r i m i n a t o r y practices at any level of the organizations. Until the ad-ministration recognizes that bias and discrimination is at the very heart of Greek Life, those organizations will be ticking time bombs.

I understand that ev-eryone wants Gettysburg to be the kind of school that is makes itself out to be to prospective students, but it’s not. It never will be. Gettys-burg College is as compli-cated and riddled with prob-lems as each of its students and faculty. Recognizing the faults in something you care about is not tarnishing i ts reputation. On the contrary, it is part of an effort to keep the institution alive.

I t i s no t ha rd to see why College staff would try to downplay the problems at our school, but doing so runs a serious risk. Not only does it make it easier for the problems to continue without ser ious considerat ion, but it allows students to ignore them as well . After all , if it’s just a national problem, then we don’t have to worry about it.

The fact of the matter is that sexism, racism and clas-sism occur on a daily basis on this campus, whether we want to acknowledge it or not. As long as we ignore the prob-lems at Gettysburg or move the blame onto something bigger and intangible, our college will remain as stag-nant as the water at Quarry Lake.

opinions editor Gettysburg College has

a lot of problems. This is something we don’t hear of-ten enough or ever. We are all so caught up in trying to create the image of a perfect college that we ignore the problems around us so that outsiders never hear about them. This is not a produc-tive way to go about creating a community. As long as we ignore our problems for the sake of image, we risk dam-aging Gettysburg irreparably.

It reminds me of ‘Hot Fuzz.’ ‘Hot Fuzz’ is a really bad Simon Pegg movie about a cop who has to relocate from crime-ridden London to the beautiful small hamlet of Sandford. Pegg spends the movie investigating a series of accidents , about which all the residents of the town seem entirely unconcerned. By the movie’s end, i t i s revealed that a secret cult is killing off the undesirables in Sandford to give the town a better chance at winning the “Village of the Year” award. The moral of the story is that it’s better to reveal your true, problematic self than hide all of your issues until they explode into plain view.

Gettysburg is a l i t t le bit like Sandford, with less murdering and more cults. The administration has made the decision to blame issues happening at our school on national trends. When Phi Sigma Kappa was banned over the summer for their involvement in a drug scan-dal, President Riggs moved t h e b l a m e t o t h e n a t i o n : “Gettysburg College is not immune to national problems assoc ia ted wi th d rug and alcohol abuse.” She did the same when announcing the creation of a Title IX officer pos i t ion : “Sexua l a s sau l t on col lege and univers i ty campuses across the country has become a national con-cern.. . Gettysburg College is certainly not immune to this national problem (em-phasis added).” In response to SAE’s racist remarks at Oklahoma University, Inter-Fraternity Council President Nolan Lynch refused to ac-

The women’s lacrosse team represented Gettysburg College well on Saturday, defeating Ursinus College 20-2 on the home field. The game tied a season high num-ber of goals for the Bullets, who have had an excellent first half of the season.

Currently ranked 8th in the Conference, Gettysburg has won its last 5 conference games by a minimum of 10 goals. The game against Ur-sinus proved no different as 10 lady Bullets netted goals o v e r t h e 6 0 m i n u t e t i m e period. They prevented the Ursinus Bears from scoring after the first 7 minutes of the game.

Within the first 2 and a half minutes of the 1st half, Get tysburg a l ready had 4 goals under its belt. Senior Bridget Kenny, who ended

up scoring 3 goals and as-sisting another by the end of the game, threw in the first 2. Senior Mandy Buell came in with the next 2, and she continued to score another 3 and assist 2 more during the remaining 57 minutes.

The game looked like it was going to be a close match in the first 5 minutes when Ursinus quickly retali-ated from Kenny and Buell. The Bears rapidly f i red 2 shots into the net . Only 7 minutes in, Gettysburg al-ready had 5 points on the board with Ursinus trailing by a mere 3 goals. Little did the Bears know that those 2 points would be the only points to light up their side of the screen for the duration of the game.

The Bul le t s f in i shed the 1st half with 7 additional g o a l s , m a k i n g t h e s c o r e 12-2. Even after a break at half t ime, the Bears could

not rally to face the fierce Bullets. Gettysburg scored 8 goals during the 2nd half.

T h e c o m p e t i t i o n marked the 2nd time within 3 games that the Bullets held a team to no points for an entire half. Goalie Shannon Keeler blocked the mere 6 shots Ursinus threw her way in the remaining time. The Gettysburg offense worked hard to keep the ball in the opponent’s end of the field.

Junior , Maggie Con-nolly, who totaled 4 goals th roughout the game, l ed the way in the 2nd half. She opened with 3 goals which inspired sophomore Caroline Jaeger to score her 1st col-legiate goal soon after. Jae-ger then proceeded to assist sophomore Emma Christie with the following goal.

Hunge r fo rd ’ s s t e l l a r efforts, assisted by errorless defense, tied him with Ryan Taylor ’13 for the 3rd most shutouts in school history.

On the offensive end,

the Bullets had multi-base runner innings in the 2nd, 3 r d , 4 t h , a n d 8 t h . T h e y would collect a total of 11 h i t s . T h o u g h t h e y w o u l d strand most of them, junior Shawn Moffitt delivered.

“I was just trying to get on track, just not trying to do too much at the plate, and

Before the inning was over, the Bullets scored a 3rd run, on a throwing error by Acosta, allowing junior Steve Wright to reach base.
