Secret Service agents posted near Vice President Joe Biden’s residence in Delaware heard multiple gunshots near their station on Saturday. The vice presi-dent and his wife were not at home at 8:28 p.m., the time of the incident, even though he was expected to spend the weekend in Delaware. Agents observed a vehicle driving away from the house at a high speed directly fol-lowing the shooting. New Castle Delaware County police are working with the Secret Service and the FBI’s Baltimore division to inves-tigate the incident.

President Barack Obama’s State of the Union speech called for a simplifi-cation of the American tax system, which his admin-istration believes is over-complicated and designed to favor the rich. The aim of the overhaul is to pay for the President’s new slate of programs which are meant to strengthen the middle class. These changes include the offering of two years of government-funded com-munity college.

Islamist militants freed about 250 Yazidi cap-tives in Iraq on Sunday. The captives had been held for more than six months, a local official said. Most of those released were ei-ther the elderly or young children. Once freed, the former captives walked to a Peshmerga checkpoint southwest of Kirkuk. Ya-zidis, a pre-Islamic sect of Kurdish descent, are one of the smallest minorities in Iraq.

Deadly floods in Ma-lawi cut off tens of thou-sands of people from food, clean water and healthcare this week. The flood oc-curred in the southern tip of Malawi. Reports have estimated dozens of deaths to more than 170, which locals expect to rise over the upcoming days. Gift of the Givers, an African organization specializing in disaster response, said Ma-lawi was facing “probably the greatest flood disaster in the history of its existence.” Malawi’s President declared a state of emergency in the areas affected and said an estimated 70,000 people had been forced from their homes.

Students see the world via CPS immersion trips

By Brendan raleigh news editor

The Gettysburg College Center for Public Service (CPS) offers a number of Immersion Projects each break. When stu-dents go home for Winter Break, Spring Break and the first weeks of summer break, those who want to serve communities both domes-tically and abroad apply to CPS to serve and learn in an unfamiliar destination.

The focuses of these proj-ects are also areas of social justice. They have taken place in com-munities as far as Nicaragua and

Gettysburg College be-gan its Greek Recycling Pro-gram last semester as a way of encouraging and helping fraternities to recycle more and produce less waste.

Currently the college’s fraternities do not have re-cycling bins outside of their houses – only t rash b ins . Therefore, their recyclable waste is disposed of by the same means as non-recycla-ble material.

Aluminum is one of the most abundant materials that is thrown out , rather than recycled, due to the number of aluminum cans present in what recycl ing intern and S igma S igma S igma sus -t a inab i l i ty r epresen ta t ive Maura Conley calls “week-end waste.”

Conley has been inte-gral in the program, serving as a go-between for fraterni-

ties and the college faculty and organizing the “recy-cling rescues” so far . She has managed to get Sigma Chi and Alpha Tau Omega on board with the help of Sigma Chi’s Kenny Lewis a n d A l p h a T a u O m e g a ’ s Nick Uline. Some sororities and off-campus soror i t ies have also gotten involved.

Alpha Phi Omega, the college’s service fraternity, has also helped in the past with the recycling rescues, o f wh ich t he r e we re two las t semester . Get tysburg R e s e a r c h a n d A c t i o n b y Students for Sustainability (GRASS) and Rotaract, one of the college’s student ser-vice organizations, have also contributed to the recycling rescues last semester.

Conley will be leaving to study abroad this semes-ter, however, and she hopes that the program continues to expand in her absence.

as close as Baltimore, Maryland. Various private organizations, separate from the college, col-laborate in order to create these projects and facilitate the students’ trips. Participating organizations have included the Center for Cross Cultural Learning (CCCL) and the Lutheran Border Awareness Project.

This winter break, CPS hosted four Immersion Projects in Rabat, Morocco; Alabama; Leon, Nicaragua and El Paso, TX.

This year’s Morocco trip fo-cused on women’s rights issues as they relate to Islam. The project’s goal was to clear up any miscon-

ceptions that students may have about the relationship between Islam and women’s rights.

In addition to meeting women who work in parliament and work to spread the concept of Islamic feminism, students were also able to experience what life is like in Rabat.

The CCCL helped facilitate the trip by attracting a list of lec-turers including outstanding schol-ars in the areas of social science, humanities, literature, religion and architecture, as well as artists, journalists, NGO activists, artisans and craftsmen.

The Morocco trip was led

by senior Erin O’Connor.O’Connor commented on

the trip, saying, “Overall, I think the trip went extremely well. It was the first immersion project in Morocco and I hope this trip continues so many more students can have a similar opportunity and experience.”

The Alabama trip dealt with the state’s history regarding the Civil Rights Movement. The state was thrust into the national spot-light when the African American community in Montgomery boy-cotted the public transportation system to end segregation.

The point of the project was

to educate students on the past and present struggles for political, social and educational equality.

Students traveled to Bir-mingham, Tuskegee, Montgom-ery, Selma and White Hall to experience economic injustice firsthand.

The Alabama trip was led by senior Amy Whitehouse. “We learned so much it’s hard to put it all into words,” said Whitehouse. “One thing the group took away was that narrative we learn in school about the Civil Rights Movement just gives us a few ma

CPS sends students around the world to learn about and serve the global community

The Greek Recycling Program’s “recycling rescues” removed pounds of recyclable materials from fraternity’s trash areas.

i t i s go ing to g row a lo t more, but the col lege has just s tar ted the program,” she commented.

This will require two recycling interns to take her place.

Currently, the program i s c o m p l e t e l y v o l u n t a r y , so those involved hope to reach out to all fraternities to step up and represent their fraternity. Conley believes that making the recycl ing necessary fo r f ra te rn i t i es may help the program and hopes that the project will implement such a policy in its next phases.

One of the current prob-lems with implementing such a mandate is that the Greek Recycling Program has been unable to get the college to purchase recycling bins to place outs ide f ra terni t ies . Conley stated that this is be-cause such orders need to be made in bulk orders around the s ize of 50 containers ,

which could be an expensive venture for the college.

Such a purchase would at least partially resolve a problem fraternities current-ly face, which is not having enough space in the current trash containers to store the used materials , recyclable or not.

The facil i t ies request was almost completed, but Conley’s supervisor depart-ed to work at Johns Hopkins before it could be finalized.

“A lot of people realize that the fraternity recycling program is a good idea,” said Conley. “It’s just a matter of pushing them to take action.”

Gettysburg College students spent their winter breaks doing more than just celebrating the holidays. Dozens traveled to Morocco, Alabama, Nicaragua, and the U.S.-Mexico border to learn more about the world outside of what they have already experienced.

Hanging Trash: The Tale of Garbage Surfing GuyYou drop your wallet in a trashcan. Hey, it happens to everyone. Now

what do you do? Dive in the trashcan, right? WRONG. That’s exactly what some guy in Northern Cali (or “Nor-Cal” as they call it in the O.C.) decided to do and look where he ended up: being scooped up to a garbage truck and being stuck on the truck for an hour until he was dumped off at the landfill. The man was only able to escape a painful, grisly death at the hands of a trash compactor by climbing to the top of the garbage pile.

Salvation Burglar

Richard Leibman, a Hawaiian man known by police as the “Jesus Bandit” due to his long beard and robe, is wanted for refusing to show up for a court hearing after being charged with burglarizing multiple homes. Leibman, despite his Christ-like appearance, bears little resemblance to the Christian prophet in terms of his moral fiber. His history of burglarizing homes goes back since 2011, when he began adding to his rap sheet. His crimes now include first-degree burglary, second-degree theft, resisting arrest, first-degree escape and two counts of first-degree assault against a law enforcement officer. He is now wanted on a $10,000 bench warrant. A local resident, however, claimed that many of the people still respect him, as he is “the outlaw who can’t be caught,” even though he “scared the hell out of a lot of people” according to The Garden Island, a local newspaper.

High on the WordIn other Christianity-related crime news, an Ohio couple attempted to

smuggle a heroin-laced Bible into a county justice center. Officers discov-ered a coffee-like stain after a standard sweep using a K-9. Tests discovered the substance to be heroin. The stain contained enough of the substance to constitute 30 to 40 hits, according to a regional narcotics unit.

Another immersion trip took students to Gettysburg’s sister city of Leon, Nicaragua. This trip was sponsored by Project Gettysburg-Leon (PGL). Students visited various PGL-sponsored agricultural projects in the Nicara-gua area. These projects dealt with the issues of deforestation, large commercial agriculture, lack of land ownership by small farmers and health concerns from pesticide use in the area. This trip was led by senior Steph Adamczak. Ad-amczak stated of the trip, “Despite the tumultuous past Nica has with the U.S., most Nicaraguans were more than happy to host us and

speak with us. They were able to look at us as individuals rather than products of a country that has repeatedly wronged them. I feel that we are all capable of labeling individuals based on their country of origin, but for students to witness the understanding that individuals are not themselves evil and are not representative of all of their country’s decisions was very powerful.”

The last immersion trip con-cerned immigration on the U.S.-Mexico border, which involved students traveling to El Paso, TX and Las Cruces, NM to look at the economic and political effects that U.S. immigration policy has on Mexican families. Like the Moroccan trip, the U.S.-Mexico border trip sought to dismantle any erroneous preconceptions students may have about life on the border and the United States border policy.

The Lutheran Border

Awareness Project hosted this project in order to educate students about the various issues affect-ing those near the U.S.-Mexico border. The leader for this trip was Kyla Schneider. Most of the immersion trips lasted about ten days. The cost for each trip varied, with the most expensive trip costing $2950 and the least expensive costing $950. Financial awards were available, however, to help students afford the immer-sion trips.

The Center for Career De-velopment also hosts Career Im-mersion trips over winter break and after exams in May. These three-day trips are designed to give students an intensive look at various career fields. In the past, these trips have taken place in Boston, New York, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and Philadel-phia. This year’s trip took students to learn about Ebola professionals in Washington, D.C.

The Award Season for film, television and music is now in full swing, with the Golden Globes kicking it off on Jan. 11th. The Globes are a unique combination of Television and Film, as the Hollywood Foreign Press Associat ion chooses their favorites from the past year. Comedians Amy Poehler and Tina Fey hosted the award show this year for their second time, although this year will be their last. This year continued the trend of closing the gap between Television and Film. In the past, the television industry often found itself playing second fiddle to the film industry, however with the increase in platforms through which television series can be viewed TV is moving up the ladder. Two of the past year’s best Television offerings were nominated in the Mini-Series or TV Movie Categories, with the show “Fargo” defeating the popular “True Detective.” The other trend that continued was the prevalence

o f o n l i n e p r o g r a m m i n g amongst nominees and winners. Amazon P r ime’ s comedy Transparent was nominated for Best Comedy, and actor Jef f rey Tambor won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Comedy for his role on the show. Additionally, Kevin Spacey won Best Actor in a Drama for his role on “House of Cards,” the Netflix original political thriller. House of Cards was also nominated for Best TV Drama, along with Game of Thrones and the oft nominated but never awarded “The Good Wife,” all of which were defeated by “The Affair .” Network television was dominated by premium cable along with online programming; not a single network performer or show winning a Globe. This year’s Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement A w a r d w e n t t o G e o r g e Clooney, who has proven himself to be one of the most dedicated and accomplished actors in Hollywood, as well as an adept director. Coupled with his activism in the global community, Clooney was an excellent choice for the Award. The presentation of this award

served as a trasition in the award show from the television awards to the film awards. I n F i l m , t h e nominees were perhaps less overwhelming than last year, if only just. Wins were evenly distributed amongst several of the favorites. Unexpectedly, The Imitation Game did not take home a Globe despite earning five nominations. “ B o y h o o d , ” t h e massive twelve year project of Richard Linklater won thrice, including Richard Linklater w i n n i n g B e s t D i r e c t o r , Patricia Arquette winning Best Supporting Actress in a Drama, and the film taking home the award for Best Drama. E d d y R e d m a y n e was named Best Actor in a Drama for his role as Stephen Hawking in “The Theory of Everything,” a marginal surprise, as many expected Benedic t Cumberbatch to emerge victorious for his role in “The Imitation Game.” “Grand Budapest Hotel” pulled another marginal upset over “Birdman “in the Best Comedy or Musical category, although “Birdman” still holds to hope as it will compete in the Drama category in the upcoming Academy Awards.

2015: the year to broaden the term ‘environmentalist’

By Julia rentsCh

geCo CorrespondentBetween the hundreds

of climate activists who ran for federal , s ta te , and lo-cal offices, the people who took to the streets to protest, and the millions of people who made choices in their lives with the environment in mind, you could say that environmentalists were on fire in 2014.

Of course , s ince the National Oceanic and At-mospheric Administrat ion (NOAA) found 2014 to also be the hottest year on record, actually catching fire was not out of the realm of pos-sibility.

S ince env i ronmenta l issues have cemented them-selves into mainstream poli-tics (Keystone XL, the Lima Climate Change Conference, t he f r ack ing ban i n New York, the drought in Cali-fornia, etc) the beginning of 2015 is an important time to reflect on what it really means to be an environmen-t a l i s t a n d w h y e v e r y o n e should (to some degree) be one.

Though stereotypes of people who care about en-vironmental issues usually depict a vegan liberal who wears hemp and has a pro-pensity for hiking, assump-tions and misjudgments are no reason to classify caring about people and the planet (environmentalism) as unfit-ting to you.

D o n o t l e t p o l i t i c s throw you off, either: cli-mate change is not inher-ently a political issue, but has been made one thanks to think tanks and politicians f u n d e d b y h e a v y i n v e s t -ments in fossil fuels. People can still embrace whatever pa r ty ’ s idea l s whi l e a l so being cognizant of current

and fu ture env i ronmenta l damages.

Remember, 97% of sci-ent is t s agree tha t c l imate change is not only real, but also is definitively caused by human activities. These are scientists with diverse backgrounds, affiliated with both major political parties, who are producing honest reports about our problems based on research because that is simply what they do (as opposed to cooking up scare-tactic schemes).

T h e d i s c o u r s e s u r -rounding the issue is not as clear as it should be because of mistakes, misunderstand-ings and ou t r i gh t l i e s i n the political sphere and on TV.

Unfortunately, numer-ous conservative talk-show hosts who speak to their large audiences about why human-caused climate change must be a sham use incorrect and invented “facts” that can be dismissed by a single search on Google Scholar.

Such muddling of the d i scourse i s par t o f what m a k e s t h e t a s k o f t r a n s -forming our world into one that no longer exploits the safety of its people and the integrity of its land such a gargantuan task; one that , despite the movements for-ward in Lima last year, will not come to an end any time soon without everyone (ev-eryone!) on board.

What I am saying is, if you have not been making the most eco-friendly deci-sions in the past, there is still room in the movement for you, no matter the role you wish to take, because you are needed.

Every liberal, conser-vative and all those between are needed for this move-ment; everyone who appreci-

ates our planet’s biodiversity and wants it to remain full of life; everyone who believes t ha t g r eed shou ld no t be causing natural disasters that bring suffering to millions of people; everyone who does not wish to exploit others, especially the world’s poor; everyone who bel ieves in justice.

There are no rules that say you have to be vegan or make your own clothes in order to be an asset to the en-vironmental movement.

H o w a b o u t s k i p p i n g meat once or twice a day and buying clothes secondhand instead of new? Choosing cleaning supplies that do not contain funky chemicals or dyes? Recycling vigilantly? Taking a laptop to class in-stead of printing?

Though some of these are more impactful than oth-ers, they are basic habits that everyone should adopt.

We should also recog-nize the plurality of identi-ties of the people who call themselves environmental-ists and not pigeonhole them in ou r minds a s a f r i nge group, like the media would have us believe. You may not current ly bel ieve that you are the type of person t o make env i ronmen ta l l y conscientious decisions, but in truth the environmental movement is extremely di-verse.

Calling yourself an en-vironmentalist is not just for liberals, not just for women, no t ju s t fo r ga rdener s o r for hikers; let us all work towards a world in which everybody cares about our impact on the planet and on other people.

2 0 1 5 h o l d s s o m u c h promise; let us make Get-tysburg proud.

On Friday, January 23, The Center will have its grand opening on the first floor of Apple Hall. The Center includes both the Women’s Center and LGBTQA Advocacy and Education.

staff writerThe 35th Annual Cel-

ebration of Martin Luther King Jr. was held in Christ Chapel on Jan. 19. The event was a celebration of the life and legacy of Dr. King and featured Jay Smooth as the Keynote Speaker and the famed Morgan State Univer-sity Choir provided musical selections.

T h e e v e n i n g b e g a n with a musical prelude by the Biglerville High School Jazz Band, led by band di-rector Jamie Cope. Follow-ing the prelude, Cope was recognized for over ten years of involvement in the annual event.

After the award pre-sentation, Gettysburg Col-lege President Janet Morgan Riggs welcomed the campus to the even t and thanked t he o rgan i ze r s f o r a l l o f their dedication in putting t h e e v e n t t o g e t h e r . C o l -lege Chaplain Reverend Dr. Joseph Donnella gave the invocation and then the Mor-gan State University Choir presented melodious musi-cal selections, including a selection that beautifully set to music the entirety of Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech.

Keynote Speaker Jay S m o o t h g a v e a n a d d r e s s titled “On Hip Hop, Race, and Politics: The Way We Ta lk Abou t Th ings . ” Jay Smooth is founder and host of New York City’s longest running hip-hop radio pro-gram, WBAI’s “The Under-ground Railroad,” which he launched in 1991 when he was only a teenager. He is

also the mastermind behind the hip hop and politically-oriented video blog “The Ill Doctrine,” (illdoctrine.com), where he serves up contem-porary observation on topics of race, politics, music and pop culture.

A leading voice in the sociopolitical realm, Smooth ga ined na t iona l a t t en t ion with his video “How To Tell People They Sound Racist,” in which he humorously yet thoughtfully describes how to have the awkward “that-sounded-racis t” conversa-tion. In 2011, he was invited to speak at TEDx, where he encouraged the audience to stop dancing around the top-ic and actively embrace con-versations about race.

As the son of an African American father and a white mother, Smooth credits his mixed race heritage for his “unique posi t ion to travel between different worlds.” Smooth counts among his legions of fans Rachel Mad-dow of MSNBC , who has referred to him as a “genius” for his cultural commentary. Wired has called him “the hardest blogging man in hip-hop” and Salon named him one of its “Sexiest Men Liv-ing” in 2008. In addition to his media accolades, Smooth provides music commentary to NPR and is the creator of the websi te hiphopmu-sic .com. In 2013, Smooth jo ined Co lo r l ines . com as i t s Video and Mult imedia Producer.

In his address, Smooth focused on drawing connec-tions between the writings and teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King and the rights

movements of today, such as the Black Lives Matter movement. Smooth said that though many think that the work of Dr. King is done, it is not. All Americans are guaranteed equal civil rights but not equal human rights. Smooth posited, “What good is being able to sit at a seg-regated lunch counter if you can’t afford to buy a ham-burger?”

S m o o t h c h a r g e d h i s audience not to wait for a charismatic leader to do the work for them, but to do the work themselves . Smooth said that the young people of today are doing a lot of things right, and that a new call for equal human rights for all is sweeping the nation in the wake of incidents such as the dea ths o f Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and Eric Garner. He called on everyone to work together to finish the work that Dr. King started, even if no great vic-tories are achieved, because although the work will not be easy, it is instrumental.

F o l l o w i n g S m o o t h ’ s address, the Morgan State Univers i ty Choi r and the entire congregation joined together to c lose the ce l-ebration with an emotional rendition of “We Shall Over-come,” the same song that hundreds of thousands sang in front of the Lincoln Me-morial in Washington D.C. when they came to hear Dr. King describe his dream that one day, a country “swel-tering with the heat of in-justice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.”

“afford it.” Of course schools know that families actually cannot afford it, which causes the students to seek more loans, which then gets the government involved again. This problem is only getting worse for students as tuition continues to rise each year. As I have already discussed in a previous article, when will the bubble pop?

When will college be too expensive that most people de-cide it just isn’t worth it? Until then we are handing our money right into the pocket of the in-stitutions and the government. There is still a debate about how much the government is actually making from student loans, but there certainly is a profit. The added interest really hikes up their return and allows them to benefit from our increasing debt.

Despite that many students could not have gotten through college without federal aid, the illusion that it benefits us is as-tounding. Many articles discuss that starting work just out of high school would make us more profitable than coming out of college with mountains of loan debt and uncertain job prospects. Not all of us want to be engineers or have business degrees, but then we are told we should have chosen more practical majors.

People preach that to us, but then they will turn around and say that we should follow our hearts and major in anything that we want. “College is a time for learning, you don’t have to decide what you want to do right away.” Well, despite that sweet sentiment, some days I feel like I should have taken more econom-ics classes (even though I hated it) because perhaps I would have

more job security. That is another aspect that

is so frustrating: the constant dismissal of arts and humani-ties. The way people discuss them–it is as if they have no value at all. I am a history major and therefore automatically dis-agree with that sentiment. The problem really is society’s need to attribute something’s value with wealth and money. That of course could be another article entirely, but I at least had to men-tion the capitalist implications and consequences of choosing a college major.

It is true that I could have chosen a major that led me to a more stable and guaranteed ca-reer path. My sister was a nurs-ing major and every place needs a nurse, so she was guaranteed a job somewhere. However, al-though she has a stable job in a career that she loves, that doesn’t change that fact that she is still struggling to pay her loans back. Because even with her stable income, between rent and gro-ceries the general cost of living today does not accommodate a lot of leftover cash, especially to pay student loans and the ad-ditional interest.

It would seem that it doesn’t really matter which major you choose or what ca-reer you end up with. Of course a high-paying job absolutely helps, but does not change the fact that the system was stacked against us from the beginning. We keep on giving and they keep on taking. And at the end of the day, regardless of what job we have, we will all just be staring at a bill with far too many zeros and not enough money to make them go away.

Although I do not person-ally feel the burden of college tuition just yet, I know that I will very soon. Only a few months out of college, my sister was instantly hounded to start paying back her student loans.

While we understood that was the agreement when we signed for the student loans, it feels less than fair that the gov-ernment expects us to pay back these loans almost immediately out of college. It’s funny that they would do that because how is an unemployed graduate sup-posed to pay for school more than a current student? And when I thought about it, it was not really funny at all. It was smart.

The government will read-ily distribute these student loans, but only if they are getting something in return. And with the interest on student loan pay-ments, this is guaranteed. So while recent graduates struggle to stand up on their own two feet and find a job, they must also be responsible for paying back stu-dent loans, with additional inter-est. And yes I know, this is what we signed up for, we agreed to these loans, but we only agreed to them because we desperately needed them. How else were our families supposed to pay for $60,000 a year at school?

Several news commenta-tors discuss the government’s involvement in higher education and how it is directly related to price inflation. When the govern-ment offers students loans, the institutions raise their tuitions because now the students can

To the Sticking PlaceAn Imminent Battle with Student Loans

supplied funding, all officials involved would make profit. Eventually this scandal was exposed and halted, but the government simply gave a slap on the wrist to those involved. The lack of punishment fore-boded a great danger to the American taxpayer. The secret was out. Tax dollars could be used to bribe companies as long as companies could en-sure political victory.

Fast forward to 2009 and over many cases of crony capitalism to the Stimulus Package, promising new jobs and a rejuvenated economy. Critics warned this bill would be laden with pork barrel spending, but the promises set forth by Barack Obama seemed too tempting to resist. The critics were right. The $787 billion stimulus package failed the American taxpayer. I t wasn’t all gloom though; busi-nesses and unions who sup-ported Obama’s presidential run gained incredible amounts of revenue. Billionaire Elon Musk has been thriving off the taxpayer since 2009. Musk do-nated the maximum amount of $35,800 dollars to the Obama Victory Fund in 2008 and has helped raised hundreds of thousands for Democratic candidates across the country.

One of his numerous government-backed companies is Solar City, a company that installs solar panels. Solar City received $11 million dollars in the stimulus, but through a tax program has received more than $442 million dollars in tax credits. According to Watchdog.org, this company is now being investigated by the government for overpricing its products. The more expensive the product is, the higher the taxes are on it and Solarcity can yield more profit through tax credits. One might wonder if Elon Musk got his business model from the railroad owners in the late 1800s.

Interestingly enough, Musk applied for another mas-sive loan upwards of $300 million from the Department of Energy, but was denied. He quickly found the funding in the private market and for good reason: it is profitable to be in business with a man who is in bed with the government. Most recently Elon Musk came to help another Democrat get re-elected, Governor Cuomo in New York. Cuomo failed to turn around Buffalo’s ailing economy and needed a bailout. Musk came to the rescue and promised to move Solar City to the beleaguered upstate city. In return, Musk received $750 million from the state of the New York and lucrative ben-efits, such as paying a $1 a year

property tax on his company’s factory. He created jobs, but how much more beneficial would it have been to just cut state taxes and city taxes to make Buffalo a viable option for businesses? Furthermore, how is this not disrupting the market by giving Solarcity privilege over a potential com-petitor that could outperform Musk in the free market? A plethora of jobs would have been created, but Governor Cuomo would have lost re-election. To save his own skin, Cuomo sacrificed the taxpayer to the corporations.

Democrats will be quick to argue that the stimulus bill and government spend-ing create jobs for millions of Americans. What they do not understand is that these jobs are often temporary, are funded by tax payers and distort the market. Billions of dollars are spent unwisely on maleficent products.

Big money benefits big business, leaving the taxpayer in the dust. This rampant cor-ruption cheapens products, reduces efficiency and creates distrust of our government. The market cannot function because those with govern-ment connections have the competitive edge over those who do not. Consider the ex-ample of Musk’s solar panels: he was incentivized to charge more to a select few who could afford the panels rather than try to innovate and create an efficient, cheaper panel for the masses.

This is not capitalism, this is Crony Capital ism. It prevents sustainable job growth and much needed in-ventions like viable, cheap re-newable energy from emerging in the free market. Democrats will also point to numerous examples of this from the Republican side, and they have a valid point. But those Republicans are not true Con-servatives. This problem is bi-partisan. Any liberal with an R or D next to their name thinks the government can dictate the economy and reap the benefits. Whether it’s as simple as beer or as complex as solar energy, companies are taking advan-tage of government subsidies.

My advice to any free market advocate is to grab your Statist friend, sit them down with a Yuengling, and explain that while we’re get-ting drunk off beer, fat cats with connections are getting drunk with our taxpayers dol-lars.

If you were a legal lager aficionado at Governor Tom Wolf’s inauguration party, you might have been scouring the bar looking for your favorite adult beverage: the glorious Yuengling beer. Yuengling is America’s oldest brewing company and Pennsylvanians have enjoyed it since 1829. Founded by a German im-migrant, the business became a well-respected firm and has employed thousands of Penn-sylvanians.

So why didn’t the Penn-sylvania Governor want it at his party? The company isn’t unionized. Why should that deter Tom Wolf from sup-plying their libations to the people who elected him? No, the answer isn’t that Tom Wolf and his elitist pals only quaff Stella Artois and the finest Pi-not Grigios. The real answer is this is a classic example of Big Government sleeping with Big Business, or in this case Big Unions. Anytime Big Govern-ment gets involved with Big anything, it spells troubles.

While this case may seem trivial, the sentiment and mes-sage that has been sent is not: agree with Tom Wolf and the unions, or your company will pay the price. This precedent is not specific to Tom Wolf alone, he probably learned it from his buddies in D.C. Kick-backs abound across America for those who support corrupt officials.

The problem does not lie within the Democratic Party per se, but within a leftist and statist mindset that pervades the American government and exploits the taxpayers, whose hard earned dollars are doled out in exchange for votes or personal financial gain. Busi-ness officials who seek to profit on the backs of the taxpayer know these corrupt public ser-vants exist and take advantage of their greed.

The oldest case of Crony Capitalism is the building of the transcontinental railroad. The Credit Mobilier scandal set up a system in which the federal government subsidized the Union Pacific railroad. A certain amount of money, often inflated, was allotted for each mile built across America.

This meant the longer the rail itself, the more the railroads stood to make money. To make matters worse, com-panies knew they had to keep in good standing with Congress-men. Like any crony capitalist, these businessman sold com-pany stocks to Congressmen at a cheaper rate. This meant so long as the government

Support young innovators through lemonade stands

with a better wherewithal for business, we are happy to say that we contribute to every local lemonade stand that we pass. We don’t do it just to be friendly, and we certainly don’t do it because of random lemonade cravings. We do it to send a message, one that is powerful and one that will stick. We send this message by delivering a few simple sentences to the kids every time. I [Jesse] always tell them that I admire their entrepreneurial spirit and explain to them that this country was built by capitalism. I then dumb it down for them by tell-ing them that it’s awesome to see them working hard to make some money. As I leave I give a gener-ous donation of about one or two dollars, which is normally six or seven times the price they ask for.

Brent goes for the more academic approach. First he draws their attention by asking to see their books to make sure their profits are legit. Then he goes into a deep ramble about business eth-ics and the importance of adapt-ing to the market. Right before he lulls them to sleep with the story of Enron catastrophic collapse a parent usually comes out and asks what the hell is he doing drawing

equations on a white board in front of their nine-year-old. He nods his head, leaves a few dol-lars and tells them to keep up the good work

However, is it weird that we do this? Eh, we don’t think so. Our line of thought is one that leads me to believe that if we influence enough young lem-onade salesmen and leave lasting memories in their head, they will go out in their lives and continue to make something of their selves by taking advantage of our great country. Society needs more chil-dren who turn a nice day into an opportunity. Although they may not view it as such, the principles of hard work, persistency, and ambition are all embedded within a lemonade stand.

So keep in mind, when-ever you drive by a lemonade stand, take a minute out of your life, drop a dollar on their table and send a message of positive reinforcement. Who knows, you might be making a huge difference in the direction of someone’s life. If the message isn’t received as profoundly, then oh well, at least you made a kid happy.

As we reflect on our child-hood, we realize our first business ventures came at fairly young ages. My first enterprise started at about eight. Brent feels his was at ten. We both laugh when we think about it because it only lasted a day and all we had in our pockets was a measly few dollars and a face full of sunburn. What was this failed attempt at running a business you may ask? It was a lemonade stand. We all did them, but was anyone ever successful?

Some might wager to guess that the reason we failed was because the quality of our prod-uct was inferior to that of our competitors. That wasn’t it. Others think it was because of our location. We didn’t set up in the center of town, we were just working out of our front yards. But we’ll tell you the real reason: it was because no one stopped to buy it. This memory isn’t really a memory at all. Why? Because we don’t remember it, but are fairly sure it happened.

The women’s basket-

ball team has been back in Gettysburg since December 30 and they have been hard at work ever since. On Jan. 5, the team took first place in the Gettysburg Tournament competing against Hood Col-lege, Neumann Universi ty and Wilkes University.

First facing Hood Col-lege, the lady Bullets won in a 56-41 final. Meanwhile, Neumann Univers i ty rose victorious 58-45 over Wil-kes University. This win led Neumann to face Gettysburg and Get tysburg bat t led to success with a 64-56 win.

Women’s basketball team falls to SwarthmoreGettysburg wins Gettysburg Tournament, competing against Hood College, Neumann University

By stephanie Karalis staff writer

The Gettysburg men’s basketball team (10-5, 6-2 CC) ended Swarthmore men’s basketball team’s three-win winning streak after leaving their gym with a W Saturday afternoon. All five of the Get-tysburg men’s basketball start-ers ended the game with double digits on the scoreboard.

The first quarter started off with a three pointer made by senior Barkley from Swarth-more College. Soon after two more three pointers were added to the scoreboard by Swarth-more. However, junior Kevin

Gladstone assisted Gettys-burg by sinking two solid free throws. The Bullets continued putting up shots, but the man who brought the Bullets back into the game was sophomore Tanner Kirkpatrick. Kirkpat-rick scored 15 points in the first half.

The lead scoring team in the game consistently flip-flopped back and forth in the first half. Unfortunately, in the last 0:44 seconds of the first half, Swarthmore took the leading victory when first year, Zack Yonda put two points up on the board.

Both teams had a hard time taking a solid lead in the beginning of the second half.

Within the first 4 minutes and 21 seconds, the crowd watched the lead change seven times. But after a long fight by both teams, senior Sean Gordon ended that battle by sinking a 3-pointer leaving the Bullets in the lead for the duration of the game (39-37).

A layup made by first year Robbie Walsh put Swarth-more only seven points behind the Bullets with 11:05 minutes left in the game. The Gettys-burg men’s basketball team then had a 9-0 run resulting in the largest lead in the game (54-41). This 9-point run was fueled by sophomore Pete Christ and was finished off by junior Kevin Gladstone.

a lay-in pushed Muhlenburg past the Bullets. Although the loss was unfortunate, the closeness of the game proved the evenly matched talent of the teams and gives hope for victory later on in the sea-

son. The order of games was unfortunate since the next battle for the Bullets to face was against the Haverford Fords. The Fords are ranked at the top of the conference. Always being a tough match-

up season to season, the Bul-lets were unable to come out victorious losing 33-59.

The Bullets struggled in the last two games of win-ter break, travelling to Ursi-nus College and Swarthmore College and facing defeat in both locations. Both games were close, however. Get-tysburg lost by three points in each, with the final being 48-51 against Ursinus and 66-69 against Swarthmore.

Although the women’s basketbal l team has faced a difficult streak of games, there is much hope for the r e s t o f t h e s e a s o n . W i t h al l of the success already proven from the team, there is faith that the lady Bullets will be sure to rebound and bring home some wins soon. Ranked in the top half of the Centennial Conference, we can be sure to see a lot more from them. The Bullets will hos t Wash ing ton Co l l ege this Saturday, January 24, at 1:00 pm.

Winning the third game in a row wasn’t the only suc-cess of the Swarthmore game. Kirkpatrick scored a game high of 18 points, five assists and had five rebounds. Gordon put up 10 points, six rebounds, and four assists. Keifer had a season-high of 15 points. Christ and Gladstone tossed in 11 points.

Gettysburg broke its sea-son record with a 90% success rate at the free throw line. This victorious game placed Gettys-burg fourth in the conference and tied with Dickenson. Come out to Bream Gym to watch the basketball team play this Saturday at 3:00 pm against Washington College.

First year, Annie Reilly, scored 10 points, nine rebounds and three blocks against Swarthmore last Saturday.

Swimming returns from training in Florida The Gettysburg men’s swim team remains undefeated at 5-0 after the winter break

By meredith tomBs

staff writer

Members of the Get-tysburg swim team, having just returned from their an-nual training trip over winter break, have launched off the spring semester with renewed enthusiasm.

Both the men’s and the women’s teams are looking to continue their successful year in the 2015 season. The men’s swim team stands undefeated at 5-0, and the women’s team holds an impressive 5-1 re-cord thus far. The women’s team lost to Ursinus in a close 106.5-105.5 meet.

This year’s week-long training trip took place in Lake Worth, Florida, where the s tuden t -a th le tes were

able to swim twice a day. The West Palm Beach setting was different from previous training trips to Barbados but the Bullets took advantage of the tropical weather all the same by holding their dry land workouts on the beach and soaking in the southern sun.

The Fa i r f i e ld Inn & Suites provided an ideal lo-cation with access to a 50 meter facility. This offered a host of different training op-portunities and allowed the swimmers to focus on their distance training.

“It’s always nice to get out in the real world as a team,” says Josh Kiehl , a sophomore on the swim team.

In addition to the physi-cal training aspects of the trip, the Florida venture also

offered a mid-season opportu-nity for extended team bond-ing. After losing both the per-formance and leadership of a number of graduated students from last season, the members of this year’s team have re-ally stepped up and made the necessary adjustments.

“The team’s new first

years have done a great job fi t t ing in and adjusting to college-level performance,” says Lizzy Butler, sophomore. Butler is looking forward to her team’s showing at the upcoming Centennial Confer-ence meet, which is being held at Gettysburg this year.

The 2015 Centennia l

Conference is scheduled to take place from Feb. 20-22 in the John F. Jaeger Cen-ter. Under the leadership of head coach Mike Rawleigh and assistant coaches Jillian Hancock and Cami Rawleigh, the Bullets have been prepar-ing for their strongest com-petitors, such as, Franklin & Marshall and Ursinus.

Fortunately, the Get-tysburg swim team will get a chance to compete against Franklin and Marshall’s new team in a near two weeks, Feb. 7, at the Kunkel Aquatic Center, in Lancaster PA.

“We’ve got some really tough competition ahead of us, but we’re ready,” says Caroline Moyer, sophomore. Moyer has already broken a number of Gettysburg and

Conference records this sea-son for the breaststroke. She ranks 13th in Division III col-legiate swimming with a time of 2:22.42 in the 200-breast-stroke.

While excited about her performance so far this sea-son, Moyer is also pleased with the growth of the team this year. “I love the camara-derie. We don’t just race as individuals, because we know we’re all in it together.”

The Bullets will travel to the Universi ty of Mary Washington in Fredericks-burg, VA, on Saturday, Jan. 24, for their next meet. Sat-urday, Jan. 31, Gettysburg will host Swarthmore College at 2 p.m.

game gave Get tysburg i t s first lead against Neumann. Senior capta in , Samantha Pagel, also was a great at-tribute to this victory.

Pagel had a break-out t w e n t y - e i g h t - p o i n t g a m e agains t Neumann Univer-sity. With an additional nine rebounds, four assists and two steals she received the Sally Musselman Outstand-i ng P laye r award fo r t he tournament. Pagel believes that the winter break train-ing benefited the team both on and off the court: “During these past couple weeks, our team definitely bonded more so than we previously were, and I th ink th is has been particularly evident on the court, which has been great!”

This victory marks the fif th t ime Gettysburg won the tournament since 2008 and marked the team’s tenth consecutive win of the sea-son, one of the best streaks in the team’s history. Unfor-tunately, the Bullets could not keep their winning streak

Gettysburg men’s wrestling team snags three big wins Men’s wrestling matches their record for most total wins in dual meets in the past decade

By miChael BonCardo staff writer

The Gettysburg men’s wres t l ing t eam came ou t strong in their home opener last weekend. The Bullets scored three wins, improving to 7-1 overall and equaling their record for most total wins in dual meets over the last decade. Gettysburg edged out non-conference opponents Penn College, King’s College, and Southern Virginia Uni-versity in a day that was full of standout performances by many athletes.

Both upperclassmen and first year athletes put out some

very impress ive numbers . Fi rs t years Anthony Puca (197), Lenny Ogozalek (125), and Quinn Merrigan (149) each recorded two pins each. Sophomore Camden Stoops (184) and junior Tyler Cun-ningham (174) also posted two victories. The meet began with Gettysburg taking an early lead against Penn College. A quick pin by first year Lenny Ogozalek (125) and a 10-4 decision win by senior Matt Laux (133) gave the Bullets two early victories. The Wild-cats surged back, winning the next four matches and taking a commanding 9-15 lead . The Bullets recovered beauti-

fully and three straight pins by Camden Stoops (184), sopho-more, Mike Burek (285), first year, and Anthony Puca (197), first year, pushed Gettysburg to a solid 30-15 victory over the Wildcats.

Gettysburg faced King’s College in their next matchup. The Bullets fought hard, edg-ing out the Monarchs 26-18 in a bout that consisted of Gettysburg beating the Wild-cats 6 consecutive times out of the first 8 matches. Pins by Brandon Carcuffe (165), sophomore and Lenny Ogoza-lek (125), a first year, helped propel the Bullets to their sec-ond of three victories.

The Bullets ended the day with a decisive victory over Southern Virginia Uni-versity. Gettysburg won 8 out of the 9 matches, with pins by first years Anthony Puca (197) and Quinn Merrigan (149) and a 10-4 decision win by first year Brian Gianforte (165). The Bullets walked away from the contest with an impressive 43-6 victory. The Bullets be-gin their conference schedule next weekend when they take on Washington & Lee Univer-sity and the Merchant Marine Academy. You can see them in action at noon on Saturday, January 4th at Johns Hopkins University.

First year Lenny Ogozalek was named athlete of the week after recieving three wins last week.
