Sexual Assault Awareness Month

April 17, 2018 by Leave a Comment

By: Princess Jones

April is Sexual Assault Awareness month and Trevecca’s new Title IX official is hoping to bring more awareness to campus to increase conversations about sexual assault.

“I think sexual assault is a taboo topic at any college campuses. The reason why is because college students don’t want to think of themselves in an unsafe environment. It’s a lot easier to ignore the problem and pretend that it doesn’t exist. It’s a much more prevalent issue than people realize it is and so, anyway we can bring more awareness to it can help survivors,” said Jamie Cathcart, who joined Trevecca this fall as the Title IX Compliance and Investigator

Title IX is federal civil rights law that prohibits sex discrimination in education. It also requires schools to address sexual violence or harassment.

According to posters around campus promoting Sexual Assault Awareness month, one in five women and one in 71 men are victims of an attempted or completed rape during their life. This information is from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The young Trevecca women’s golf team has high hopes of defending their five-year title in the tournament this week.

“We have big shoes to fill, and we are well aware of that. This group is ready to make their own mark and put their own stamp on Trevecca golf and try to go out and get another championship,” said David Head, head golf coach.

The Trevecca women’s golf team is ranked second going into the conference tournament, where they have won the championship five years in a row. So far this season the team has seen new competition with the addition of new school in the conference such as Findlay, who is nationally ranked in golf and gives the Trojans their biggest competition for the tournament. The team is going back to the same golf course as in years past for the tournament, allowing them to have some familiarities with the course.

Hunter Newman, former professional baseball player, back at TNU

March 24, 2018 by Leave a Comment

It was a Wednesday evening former Trojan baseball player and current Trevecca student Hunter Newman will never forget.

Newman answered his ringing cell phone only to realize the St. Louis Cardinals were on the other end.

He was going to be drafted to play professional baseball.

“I wasn’t for sure if I’d be taken,” Newman recalled of his experience on draft day. “It was a waiting game. I knew it was a possibility, but it’d be on day three.”

Major League Baseball (MLB) holds its amateur player draft over a three-day period. Day one includes the televised first and second rounds, while day two covers rounds three through 10 and day three rounds 11-40.

Newman had been drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 22nd round with the 671st pick of the 2015 draft.

“It was unbelievable,” Newman said. “It was so surreal. I worked my entire life for that moment and it finally happened.”

The future for Dreamers is still uncertain

By Blake Stewart

When the Trump administration announced in September the decision to rescind the Obama era executive order Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), the administration gave Congress six months to come up with a legislative solution. The expiration date set for DACA was Mar. 5.

 

 The months and days leading up to the Mar. 5 deadline have been uncertain, followed with political battle in Washington and roaring protests led by immigration activists across the U.S.

Friday Night Live

By: Ashley Suarez

One of SGA’s most popular events is around the corner.

Friday Night Live, a student-produced sketch comedy show, will be back with new material this weekend.

“I think it is one of the top events because students are able to see some of the fun and interesting things that have happened on campus be documented in a fun and creative way,” said Kelly Hall, social life director.

Each year a team writes new scripts for the show.  The team meets every week during the spring semester to work on the show. Anyone can pitch ideas to an SGA member and they will communicate with Kelly Hall, this year’s all-school social life director.

“We really just try to document all of the funny events and occurrences that have happened on campus throughout the school year,” said Hall. “It’s super cool to see all of the fun videos we create.”

Friday Night Live is free and open to all this Friday, March 23. Although this event is free, you must pick up a physical ticket at the SGA booth located in the Jernigan lobby during meal times. FNL will be in Benson Auditorium inside of McClurkan. There are two show times. The first show is at 6:30 p.m. and the second is at 9 p.m.
