Students at Spring Hill College will have more choices for housing for the fall semester, announced the Office of Residence Life at a Student Government Asso-ciation (SGA) meeting held last month. Rosalie Carpenter, Vice President of Student Af-fairs, informed members of the SGA about the college’s recent purchase of Portier Place to be used for addi-tional student housing. The building, which is current-ly a retirement community, will be converted into stu-dent apartments with vari-ous floor plans. Additonally, the Office of Residence Life has officialy announced that Langan Hall is scheduled to re-open for the Fall 2015 semester. According to Carpenter, this housing option is in-tended to be a more academ-ic living environment for upperclassmen. In talking about the building’s purpose she stated, “Portier is going to be a very different space. I think it’s really designed for a more studious student, maybe a nursing student or student teachers that are up really early and have a little bit of a different schedule.” Poriter Place is said to be a great option for upperclass-men who are participating in full-time jobs or intern-ships. The current plans for the building will include a fitness center and a dining facility on the premises. The new dorm building will require students to take responsibility for their new space. Any disruptive influ-ences to the community will be removed. Because of the building’s proximity to Old Shell Road and the edge of campus, the college plans on increasing

security for the building, making it a more safe and secure living environment for students. Portier Place is not intend-ed to replace the existing apartments on campus, but it will provide more students with the opportunity to ex-perience apartment-style living. The building features 31 appartments with seven different floor plans rang-ing from one-bedroom to four-bedrooms. While the cost of living in the new apartments has yet to be de-termined, students should expect to see an increase in price compared to other housing options. The col-lege will begin expanding the parking lot and updating the apartments in July. Port-ier Place will be among the choices for housing selection, beginning in early April. The announcement was made to the SGA as well as five spectators who attended the first SGA meeting under newly inducted President Conner Bueche. After the members of SGA voted to confirm new appointments, each member brought up issues they felt needed to be addressed. By next summer, SGA plans on having trails from the Skips/Viragh com-plex to Mirror Lake so that students can have an out-door space to socialize. SGA also plans on addressing oth-er student suggestions and concerns, such as putting ice machines in the dorm build-ings, making designated fire pits around campus, putting peepholes on dorm doors, and creating a staff appreci-ation day. SGA members also ex-pressed concerns regarding their relationship with oth-er organizations on campus, particularly Residence Life. They feel that Residence Life and SGA need to have a better working relationship

in order to best serve the student body and make im-portant joint decisions. An initiative was pro-posed to invite Residence Life and other campus orga-nizations to attend regularly scheduled SGA meetings to express their concerns and

collaborate with SGA on various issues. SGA, along with Carpenter, discussed plans for launching a re-designed and more mobile friendly BadgerWeb to bet-ter accommodate students, and make the website eas-ier to access. Overall, SGA

plans on improving campus and Residence Life for the upcoming school year by ad-dressing student concerns and coming up with new ideas to improve student life on campus.

SHC Alum. Leads Gender Equality Summit in Ethiopia

By: Julia Arenstam Editor-in-Chief

Spring Hill College alumnus Michael Latady, is extending his Jesuit values to his work as a Peace Corps (PC) Volunteer. Serving as an Education Peace Corps Volunteer in Addis Aba-ba, Ethiopia, Latady organized the second Annual Peace Corps Action for Gender Equality Sum-mit on March 12-16. Finding gen-der equality education to be more difficult with adults, Latady has turned his focus to educating the youth. He hosts gender clubs, health programs (HIV preven-tion and hygiene), and English conversation clubs. One of his major focuses is trying to get male students more involved in his gender equality work. As the Programming Coordina-tor for the Peace Corps Ethiopia Chapter of the Gender and Devel-opment Committee, he worked with other committee members for months to prepare for the event. Latady hosted 40 exempla-ry Ethiopian students for a five-day training on gender equality development. Latady also participated in the inaugural program held in 2014. “Last year’s program was the highlight of my service and it was an amazing experience to see both girls and boys be motivated to work together for the improve-ment of this wonderful country,” he said. After graduating Spring Hill in 2012 with a degree in Interna-tional Studies, he started his ser-vice with the Peace Corps in July

2013. “Honestly, I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life at the time and was very lost. Peace Corps has been the big-gest game changer in my life. It has been extremely challenging and has changed my attitude, pa-tience, tolerance and perspective of the world,” he explained. Latady will return home for a month in July before extending his service for another year. “I am extending my service for an additional year with an organiza-tion called Girl Hub. It is a British gender empowerment organiza-tion which seeks to improve ac-cess to education for girls in rural Amhara. It also focuses on self confidence and life goals support for young girls,” he said. After his extension, Latady stated that he would like to return to the U.S. and pursue a Master’s Degree in Public Health, continuing his so-cial work with immigrants and other vulnerable communities. Latady enthusiastically rec-ommended volunteering for the Peace Corps to fellow Spring Hill students. He said, “This has been a roller coaster ride through ev-ery emotion possible but I do not regret a single moment of it. It has challenged me professionally and personally. The culture, language and work is immensely different from what we understand and it takes great tolerance, patience and strength to tackle these as-pects of Peace Corps service.” One of his favorite programs is educating boys about their sexual health. “Last year we separated the genders and had an intimate conversation about reproductive

health. It was a unique experi-ence for them because they do not have adequate knowledge about sexual education. It was a special opportunity for them to ask questions regarding myths about HIV, sex, and biology in a safe and judgment free envi-ronment,” said Latady. Latady acknowledged that although he has grown so close to his community in Ethiopia, he still feels a separation from them that challenges him in his daily life. Latady explained his situation: “The most challeng-ing aspect of my service has been having to hide my true self from Ethiopians for 27 months. No matter how close I become to people here, the fact that I am gay would never be accept-able to them.” He went on to describe what the consequenc-es would be if the community were to discover his true sex-uality, “In fact it is illegal here and quite dangerous to reveal such information. It can be quite painful knowing that my closest friends, who I now con-sider my family, would hate me if they knew who I really was,” said Latady. “The obstacles we face are constant and sometimes very intense but most of us love the work we are doing and the peo-ple in our communities come to see us as their family and their own people,” reflected Latady. He stated that what he believes sets the Peace Corps apart from other nongovernmental orga-nizations and volunteer orga-nizations is their mandatory culture and language train-ing programs. Because of this training, he believes that he has grown closer to his community. He said, “I am an integral part of my community and every time I come back from a meet-ing in the capital [Addis Ababa] people ask me ‘Michael, where have you been?’” “Peace Corps has changed my entire life. I have grown more confident, competent and empowered in this country. I would suggest it to anyone who cares about development, of the world or just of themselves, and considers themselves tolerant. PC is liberal as hell and I love it,” finished Latady.

The U.S. Department of Education placed Spring Hill College on a list of high-er education institutions that are experiencing financial problems. Over 560 institutions, in-cluding 11 in the state of Al-abama, are facing financial restrictions called “height-ened cash monitoring.” Recently, the Department has been making strides to increase transparency be-tween the public and higher education institutions. In a blog post on the Department of Education’s website, Un-der Secretary of Education Ted Mitchell emphasized the Department’s “commitment to making college more af-fordable and accessible. A big part of our work to-ward that goal has been to increase both the quantity and quality of information that students, families, bor-rowers, and the public have about higher education.” This is the first time the Department has made such lists available to the public. This is a huge step toward improving communication between colleges and their students. For years we have heard rumors about Spring Hill College’s financial prob-lems. However, how much do we know to be true? Money is always a diffi-cult subject to bring up, es-pecially when it involves the mass sums students shell out for tuition. There’s a certain comfort in knowing that we are making a secure invest-ment in our future. I don’t want the thousands of dol-lars my family has spent to go to waste, and I’m sure you don’t either.

Show Us The Money When we hear rumors about the college experi-encing financial difficulty, we start to question that in-vestment. Maybe we should transfer. Maybe a high-ly-praised liberal arts edu-cation isn’t what we thought it would be. Maybe it would be better to go to a large state school and concentrate on one field. These are all sce-narios that have certainly gone through my mind. We can’t afford to make mis-takes. Increasing transpar-ency between the college and the students, I believe, will make us investors cer-tain that we are receiving the education we’re paying for. Lay it all out for me. Tell me where my money is go-ing. Tell me what percentage of my tuition goes towards my professor’s salary, what goes toward maintaining academic buildings and the treasured air conditioning. Tell me what portion of my room and board goes to-wards ensuring the health and safety standards of the dorms. Tell me why I can’t get rid of the mold in my shower, yet we can power wash the side of the build-ing and keep the sprinklers dribbling on the sod. It’s not about how the col-lege spends our money; it’s about knowing where and why. It’s about communica-tion between those investing and the institution being in-vested in. Regardless of the fact that Spring Hill has had financial troubles in the past, what college hasn’t? The De-

partment of Education is making a move toward in-creased transparency, and the college should, too. Fred Salancy, Spring Hill College’s Vice President for Advancement, said the col-lege is on “heightened cash monitoring” because of its score on the Department of Education’s financial re-sponsibility review of the College’s 2013 fiscal year au-dit. Spring Hill’s heightened cash monitoring is a result of the 2013 fiscal year, during which former Student Ac-counts Director Tracie Law-rence was embezzling thou-sands of dollars from the college. Despite this setback, Salancy stated the report for 2014 shows an increase in net assets and a decrease in liabilities for the college. The college seems to be looking toward the future, leaving behind the financial prob-lems of the past few years. Salancy also noted that Spring Hill College has re-ceived a record number of applicants for the 2015-2016 academic year, accepting over 2,000 students. So far, over 200 deposits have been made, which is more than 40 percent than last year at this time. Our small community is growing rapidly, so rapidly that I don’t know how the college plans to keep up. In-creased enrollment means increased cash flow. But it also means growing pains. If the college plans to keep stretching its borders, com-munication with students, enrolled and prospective, needs to be enhanced.Photo by: Julia Arenstam

Very rarely have I seen people mourn the way they did when the world found out Zayn Mailk was leaving One Direction (1D). Last Wednesday when the news broke, my Facebook newsfeed was filled with dozens of sobbing videos asking the question: “Why are you doing this to us?” On one level I understand being upset over Malik leav-ing 1D. The world watched as they performed on X-Fac-tor, and witnessed their me-ga-success over the past few years. But, what I don’t un-derstand is the need to post videos online weeping about it. The weeping I’ll give you, but the posting I don’t un-derstand. Somewhere along the line people started feeling the need to post every emotion they feel online, whether it be on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram. Personally, I’m not a fan. It takes up space on my newsfeed, pushing all my BuzzFeed articles and videos to the bottom. Those of you who aren’t crying online are taking off work and crying at home. I believe in mourning the death of a friend or family member, but to mourn your favorite band member leav-ing his group is perhaps a step too far. Zayn Malik may be your favorite 1D member, but mourning him leaving the band won’t save your job. If you need to take Kleenex to your desk, fine, but go to work. Malik may love you as a fan, but he can’t get you re-hired when your boss finds out he’s why you took off work. Perhaps it seems like I don’t understand, but I do. I know how it feels when our

Zayn Malik Exits One Directionfavorite celebrities don’t be-have how we want. I’m still not over Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt breaking up, and that was ages ago. Ma-lik has moved on, and we should too. In an interview with The Sun last Thursday, he said, “I feel like I’m doing what’s right, and right by myself and right by the boys, so I feel good.” Even Malik’s former band members are moving on from him leaving the band. Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlison, and Harry Styles are currently on tour performing without Malik. The group admits that it has been a difficult adjusment without Malik, but plans to continue the band regardless. On the bright side, Malik leaving 1D isn’t the last we’ll be seeing of him. As for his plans of what to do next, he said, “I think I’m going to write and relax and chill.” See, Malik hasn’t completely abandoned us. I think Malik leaving 1D is a positive. Maybe I’m bi-ased because Horan and Tomilson have always been my favorite members, but if Malik feels it’s the right de-cision for him, I completely support it. He’s still mak-ing music, and he still cares about his fans.

“It’s not that I’ve turned my back on them or any-thing, it’s just that I can’t do that anymore because it’s not real to me,”

-Zayn Malik

So, now that you know Ma-lik is still here for you, stop crying and go back to work. Don’t waste your personal and sick days. Save that for something really big, like if Sytles decides to leave. Give mine and everyone else’s newsfeed a break. Zayn Ma-lik’s not dead, he’s just relax-ing and chilling for now.

With her hands flying to tie knots in a fleece blanket, sophomore Libby Crocker explained: “It goes beyond just faith. It’s about practicing that faith through projects like this. It’s about putting that faith into practice while hanging out with friends.” The Ladies’ Auxiliary at Spring Hill College consists of 15 members who support the Knights of Columbus Council 3038 of Spring Hill College. Ladies’ Auxiliary President Katie Kuehl explained that Knights of Co-lumbus Councils in church parish-es usually form Ladies’ Auxiliaries from their wives and other female members in the parish. This group performs service projects alongside

the Knights. However, Spring Hill’s Ladies’ Auxiliary chapter is unique in that they are open to females and males, as well as Catholics and non-Catholics. Crocker said, “We’re a relaxed, small group of people who get togeth-er, go to Mass, and do service proj-ects.” The organization’s most recent service project was Project Linus, an afternoon of making blankets to do-nate to the Women’s Center of Mo-bile for women experiencing crisis pregnancies. Project Linus is the La-dies’ Auxiliary’s biggest event. This year, the Ladies, with the help of the staff and student body, made over 60 blankets. The Ladies’ Auxiliary also spon-sored a weekly Stations of the Cross during Lent. They also held a moving

Stations of the Cross prior to Spring Break. The meditations for each sta-tion were placed at different locations throughout campus, including the St. Ignatius statue and the Sodality Chap-el. At each of the 14 stations, a senior related their four-year faith journey to the meditation at that station. On Monday nights, the Ladies hold a Rosary in front of the Grotto. Soph-omore Patty MgBodile said, “Anyone can come to the ministry activities we do. It’s less of a club and more of a way for people to be aware of the needs of the community and help.” United in their mission and the mis-sion of Spring Hill College, the La-dies’ Auxiliary continually serves the school and the local community.

Have you ever had uncom-mon interests and could not find friends who shared the same iones? LykeMe app is the remedy to your problem. Students at Michigan State Uni-versity created the LykeMe app to form relationships through shared interests. LykeMe is dif-ferent from other social network-ing apps because it is designed for the user to find friends, not con-nect them with current friends. It creates a welcoming environ-ment for people with narrow in-terests. Yoseph Radding, a junior com-puter engineering major had an interest: electronic robotics. Radding teamed with economics senior Joshua Ogundu to create LykeMe. According to State News maga-zine, “Radding and Ogundu hope LykeMe will foster friendship and community with people from different social, racial, and socio-economic backgrounds. They as-pire to show people around the world that everyone is similar, and they believe LykeMe will help people from various walks of life to connect through their similarities rather than focus on their differences.” The app is designed with simi-larities to other social media, such as Facebook. The user creates an account and list their interests. The LykeMe app connects the us-ers with similar interests. This is not a dating site. “It’s focused on friendships and lasting relation-ships,” Radding said. The main goal is for the LykeMe app is to become nationwide and to spread this idea to allthose that feel left out and different. Many people feel like their ideas and interests are uncommon, but LykeMe shows them that they are not different and others share similar interest reagardless to how uncommon they may seem. LykeMe is unique in that it uses geolocation, so a tight-knit com-munity can be formed from peo-ple within the same area. It can also be a useful network-ing tool. It can be beneficial to work-related interests and hob-bies.

Spring Hill College senior, Trevell Perdue, has been in the booth with music producer Robert Akins III, who has worked with some promi-nent and influential artists in the hip-hop culture. “I would name some of the artists Robert has worked with, but he is very secretive about his work. I will say he has worked with a few big named artists in the hip-hop community,” said Perdue. Perdue is a business major graduat-ing in May. He has a deep passion for the art of rap. Since the age of 12, Per-due has created multiple lyrics and rap songs. On rare occasions Perdue takes the time to write his lyrics. Perdue’s particular style of rap is hip-hop. “When I create and rap my music, I set the scene in a story telling fashion. This way others can relate to my music if they need a hand in some-thing to relate to. I want my audience to know they are not the only ones going through whatever situation they are in,” said Perdue. Some artists who have influenced

Perdue are: Jay Z, Drake, Kanye West, J. Cole, Nipsy Hussle and the Game. Each rapper is similar but dif-ferent from the rest, from their styles and delivery to things that they ad-dress. “I can’t say I have a single fa-vorite artist. I admire them all. The-ses artist aren’t just rappers, they are entrepreneurs, business men,” said Perdue. He is working on his first official mixtape No More Talking: Nothing is Heard when Nothing is Spoken. It is estimated to have anywhere from 15 to 25 tracks on it, all independently made. Perdue has already had a pho-tographer shoot the cover and is in the process of having it designed. Junior Jordan Travis stated, “Trevell gave me a sample of a few songs that would be on the mixtape and they are dope. Every time he comes to the room for a haircut, he is rapping one of his songs. Just listening to him puts you in the mind of Drake. His rhymes and metaphors are so deep. And he can deliver a song. Trevell is very tal-ented and has what it takes to be the next big thing in rap.” Perdue was featured in the talent

Faith in Practice: Ladies’ Auxiliary

show by the Residence Hall Associa-tion. He performed a remix to Kanye West’s Diamonds are Forever, which he contributed to his best friend Jon-athan Perry. Sophomore Taylor Allen stated, “Trevell did very well with his performance. You can tell he has a real passion for music and expressing himself.” Perdue plans on using his business degree to run his own label. If outside labels offer Perdue a deal, and if they agree financially and creatively, he will sign to the label.

Softball Supports Campaign for Seth Lane

Seth Lane is a 5-year-old British boy born with Severe Combined Immunodeficien-cy (SCID), also known as “bubble boy disease.”

Awareness of his condition is spreading through a You-Tube video in which he gives background about himself and his campaign, Wear Yel-low for Seth. On March 27, Lane asked people to wear yellow in order to make the

awareness for SCID grow across the world. Lane’s video reached the Spring Hill College campus and inspired the softball team to join in on the awareness campaign. On March 27, the Badger softball team hosted a conference game against the Miles College Lady Bears. Following Seth Lane and his request for everyone to wear yellow, the Badgers special ordered yellow jerseys, dis-playing the campaign slogan, #WearYellowForSeth, above each player’s number. Head Coach Alison Cook was excited and privileged to support the cause. “We just want to show Seth in some small way that we care about him and his family, while raising awareness about this awful disease,” said Cook. The Badgers played against the Miles College Lady Bears in a Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference game at Murray Field. Spring Hill

jumped out to an early lead in the second inning. Senior first baseman Elise deBrul-er brought in junior catcher Samantha Leach with a sac-rifice fly to right field imme-diately after Leach led off the inning with a double. Several Badger errors in the third inning allowed the Lady Bears to score, which brought the score to a 1-1 tie. Spring Hill took the lead back in the sixth inning after freshman outfielder Randi DeArmitt hit a single up the middle, which allowed junior Lauren Stewart to score from second with two outs. This proved to be all the Badgers would need as they went onto win the game 2-1. Winning this game was much more than improving the team’s conference record to 16-0; it brought the aware-ness of a serious disease to the eyes of the world, making the win that much sweeter.

The New Light-Weight Way to Get WastedBy: Hannah McIntyreStaff-Writer

Palcohol, a patent-pending powdered alcohol, could be coming to liquor stores near you some time this summer. Mark Phillips, creator of Palcohol, loves hiking and camping, but wanted there to be an easier way to drink adult beverages without lug-ging the big, heavy bottles of liquor around. When he began searching in stores for a powdered alcohol, he found nothing. Working with scientists from around the world, Palcohol was de-veloped. Palcohol is used the same way as liquid alcohol. Ac-cording to the Palcohol website, when added to six ounces of water it becomes a standard mixed drink with the same alcohol con-tent. Currently, Phillips is planning on releasing five flavors: vodka and rum, Cosmopolitan, Powderi-ta (margarita), and Lem-on Drop. On it’s own, each pouch is 80 calories, and de-pending on what your mixer is, the calories range from there. While this may seem like a wonderful idea, some states think just the opposite. Six states have already begun the process to ban the prod-uct before it hits the shelves.

Student Media Management Positions for Fall 2015The Department of Communication Arts is launching its first converged student media staff in the fall of 2015. Junior or senior leaders with specific skills are needed. Once this student-management team is assembled, it will work as a group to manage production of The SpringHillian student newspaper, the Hillian Newswire website, BTV and the school’s internet

audio streaming site (toh.shc.edu).

The application deadline is April 30, 2015.

Available positions within the team include: - Television Producer: managment of BTV - SpringHillian Editor: leading design of print newspaper editions- Video Editor: editing video for BTV and Hillian Newswire- Art Director: development of graphics for BTV, The SpringHillian, and Hillian Newswire- Advertising/Promotions Manager: advertising sales for all media, corss-promotion of media properties, and social media manage-ment- Webmaster: managing website updates- Automation Manager: Top of the Hill audio and programming for campus channel 16.1 HD

Interested students should:- Save room for CMM 473 in their fall 2015 course schedule.- If not a Communications Arts major, check with your aca-demic advisor to see if the class fits into your degree plan.- Send a resume and cover letter (explaining the position you’re seeking, why you’re uniquely qualified, and your goals for student media), to: commarts@shc.edu.

One bill has been proposed to ban the product national-ly. Phillips is actively trying to answer all of the concerns brought about by Palcohol. Opponents of the product say that it will encourage snorting of the product, un-derage drinking and will be easier to conceal than liquid alcohol. He has an answer for all of these. From personal ex-perience, Phillips said, “it really burns” when snorted

and would take at least an hour to snort the equivalent of one drink. In response to the underage drinking con-cerns, Phillips explained that the product would be no easier to get a hold of than liquid alcohol. Palcohol would also be no easier to conceal because one shot of it is 4X greater than the vol-ume of one liquid shot. It will be sold in individual packages, making it harder to conceal, but still lighter than carrying a bottle.

Despite all of the resis-tance, Phillips is working to have his product on shelves this summer.
