F or the first t ime, T e n n e s s e e S t a t e

University is giving students a ful l week off for Thanksgiving. Dr.

Mark G. Hardy, vice president of Academic Affairs, says he r e c o m m e n d e d combining fal l and Thanksgiving break. It didn’t take long for President Glenda Glover ’s cabinet to approve

it . The decision was made last year when a number of students didn’t come back from both breaks on t ime.

“Students were missing the whole week of school instead of the usual

three days off . This meant that a lot of students were missing their two to three lecture classes of that week. Combining the two breaks is more efficient for academic reasons and for the needs,” says Hardy.

The new chang e in this year ’s academic school year has students feel ing bittersweet. Students l ike Aerial Brown say they ’re excited about the change. Brown is from St. Louis, Mo and couldn’t make the long commute home because of the shortened holiday period.

“I am happy we have a ful l week off so I can eat left-overs from Thanksgiving and

spend extra t ime with family and friends I haven’t seen since August . I don’t have to worry about those three quick days rushing to see everyone,” said Brown.

It ’s not such good news for everyone. Darrien Walsh, usual ly stays on campus during school breaks.

“I ’m kind of glad we have a ful l week off but at the same time being on campus for seven days with no friends, looking at empty parking lots won’t be fun,” says Walsh.

Hardy said the week-long Thanksgiving break wil l be implemented each year. This year, the break wil l run Nov. 24-28.

The Ebola scare has caused h o s p i t a l s nationwide to get prepared

should the deadly virus hit their towns, including facilities in Nashville. V a n d e r b i l t University Medical Center, a Level 1 Trauma Center, has been offering Ebola specific training for its staff, preparing them not only to recognize signs and symptoms, but preparing staff to properly treat Ebola patients. According to the CDC, Ebola, also known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a rare and deadly disease caused by Ebola virus strains. Despite being prepared should the virus make its way to the Music City, one Vanderbilt doctor says there’s no need to worry. “It’s important to note that the likelihood that we will get a patient with Ebola is very rare, but we are more likely to than other places in the area given our size and expertise,” said Dr. Tom Talbot, associate professor of Medicine and Health Policy and chief hospital epidemiologist. “In the case that we do, we are doing everything we can to be prepared and to make sure that everyone is protected.” “All appropriate personnel have been in ongoing day to day

training,” said Jennifer Wetzel, Vanderbilt’s information officer. Nashville Metro Public health Director, Dr. Bill Paul, held a community meeting, educating people on Ebola. Metro health covered symptoms, diagnosis and the possibility of the virus appearing in Tennessee. Ebola is spread through direct contact (broken skin or mucous membranes) with blood or body fluids including urine, saliva, sweat, feces, vomit, breast milk and semen of a person sick with Ebola. Objects such as needles and infected animals can also transmit the disease. According to the CDC, symptoms for Ebola include but are not limited to: fever, severe headache, muscle pain, weakness, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, unexplained hemorrhage (bleeding or bruising). Symptoms can begin to appear anywhere from two to 21 days after exposure to Ebola, but the average is eight to 10 days. In case someone does come to Vanderbilt Hospital with Ebola-like symptoms or the actual disease, Talbot says they’re ready. He says the first line of defense in proper treatment is the medical outfit.“There’s nothing unique about the protective equipment we would use—double gloves, impermeable gowns, and eye and face protection. That’s how we’re approaching the care of

a patient with suspected Ebola, and that’s what is safely recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,” said Talbot.

TSU preps tooAs hospitals and U.S. cities including Tennessee state University is preparing for Ebola if it sweeps through Nashville. Students at TSU live in close quarters, sharing dorm rooms, bathrooms and frequenting the cafeteria – all variations of tight living that has health officials at the Metro Health Department concerned about the increased chance of infection of any contagious virus, particularly Ebola. The campus health clinic has been busy passing out pamphlets that list signs and symptoms of the virus and ways they can protect themselves. In addition to passing out pamphlets, campus officials are taking into consideration the university’s international community that might be traveling abroad, particularly in areas plagued with Ebola. Ebola is a great concern for many students like Chelsea Rogers, a sophomore from Memphis. “It’s a tragic situation because people are dying from this disease , and as a citizen of the United States, you never know if it’s going to happen to you or not,” says Rogers. Ebola has now become a top area of focus of the CDC and TSU’s health

clinic. “We are preparing the students for Ebola by placing out a fact sheet in the near future as to telling them about Ebola and how they can watch out for certain symptoms as a precaution,” according to Kashawna Parker, public health coordinator at TSU’s Health Clinic.

Despite the Student Health Clinic being prepared to handle the disease, Mark Brinkley in TSU’s Study Abroad program said he’s not too concerned “Like other universities, traveling is banned to West Africa. We will continue to monitor the situation through the CDC,” said Brinkley.Currently, there are no international student trips planned for West Africa between now and the fall of 2015. President Glenda Glover recently announced a moratorium on trips to Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone, the Democratic Republic of the Condo and Nigeria by faculty, staff and students employees until further notice. In the meantime, students are taking their own precautions to protect their health.“Be cautious of all your actions with people, places and things,” said Rogers. Meanwhile, Parker is asking students on TSU’s campus to contact Student Health Services if they suspect anyone or even themselves of having Ebola or displaying Ebola-like symptoms. If you have any questions or concerns give them a call at ext. 5291 or contact Parker directly at 615-963-5649.

SGRho’s & Iotas Hardly On the YardTennessee State UniversityOctober 29, 2014 • The Meter 5

BY MELODY SCALES Staff Reporter

The Alpha Beta Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority,

Incorporated is trying to recruit future members this fall. SGR is the first sorority to call Tennessee State

University home. There are currently no active members on campus because everyone who was a member of the organization has graduated. That means the chapter advisor, Sabrina Brown who is the associate director of Academic Success, along with both Alpha Beta alumni and members

of the graduate chapter are trying to recruit members for those interested in the organizations. “We reach out to the legacies or those students that were a part of our auxiliary youth group which is called the Rhoers. We reach out to them not just for the recruitment but just so they know

that they have a place to go. Often times there are students who are away from home, so we kind of look out for them,” said Brown. SGR will hold an informational session at 2 p.m., Nov. 9 in the Student Success Center in room 105. “Our hope is that by the end of the academic year we will have sorority sisters on campus that can start programming and meeting the needs on campus,” says Brown. “We are looking forward to seeing the ladies of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated reactivate their chapter here on campus. The chapter has not been put on any sanctions by the University and is still in good standing as long as they have the number of members required for membership for this office,” said Dr. Jame’l Hodges, assistant dean of Student Life and Engagement.

SGR is not the only TSU Pan-Hellenic organization that is small in numbers. The Delta Beta chapter of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Incorporated has one active member on campus. Their members also graduated. However, this hasn’t discouraged the group’s active member on campus. During Courtyard Wednesday he has a table out to spread the word about his organization. “We look forward to seeing them as well as our other small chapters like Iota Phi Theta,” added Hodges. “This time next semester, be on the lookout for the SGRhos. As far as the Iotas, they just need to get their brand out more on the Tennessee State campus and you’ll see a big number of Iotas as well,” said Marcus Patrick, president of TSU’s National Pan-Hellinic council.

You can now enjoy the lunch buffet for just $5 along

with your family and friends. That’s because of the new $5 Friday’s program. Tennessee State University has started a new event in the main cafeteria, welcoming all students, family, friends and faculty members to an all you can eat buffet for $5 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m in the cafeteria. Dr. Curtis Johnson, associate vice president of Administration says instead of making a lunch special for

campus visitors, he wanted to make the food affordable for everyone. It started three weeks ago and is being well received. “I started $5 Fridays because I wanted the community outside of TSU to interact with the students. Non-students and non-faculty members can experience campus and get to know about TSU,” said Johnson. According to Johnson, a number of people who don’t work on campus are coming out to eat. Faculty members are bringing their family members. F r e s h m a n Lateshia Coward, who

eats in the cafeteria, said she likes the idea. She said she looks forward to meeting new people outside of TSU. “I would bring my dad because we don’t see each other that much. I look forward to telling my father,

and I definitely plan on inviting friends,” says Coward. Student, Drucilla Echols, says $5 Fridays is a great opportunity for students to interact with the public. “I’m going to go because I like to eat,

and that $5 can go a long way. I feel that since it’s open to the public, everyone should have a valid ID before entering. Students still need to feel safe.” says Echols.

Applying a c l a s s r o o m lesson to a real

life situation wasn’t what junior student Nancy Diaz had planned as she drove down Highway 431 on September 25. Diaz was faced with a situation that she says had to be destiny as she rushed home to get her school ID. Her professors won’t allow students to attend class without them, in accordance with the campus security rule. “So I was rushing, and all of a sudden the driver in front of me lost

control of his car. He was swerving side to side, and then just stopped in the middle of the road,” said Diaz.Luckily for the driver, Diaz stopped her car and came to his rescue. “I went to see if he was ok and when I looked through the window I saw the man holding his neck. He was choking,” said Diaz. “I had to knock on the window because I couldn’t open the door.” The driver was panicking and didn’t notice Diaz trying to help. “I knocked on the window harder until I got his attention. Finally, he opened the door and I helped him out of the car,” said Diaz.

She pulled him out of his car and started a lifesaving procedure the nursing student recently learned. “I went behind him and started performing the Heimlich maneuver. After about three or four pushes, he spit up something,” added Diaz. He told her that he accidentally swallowed a large chunk of apple after merging into the opposite lane and seeing an oncoming vehicle. According to Dr. Kathy Martin, executive director of nursing at Tennessee State University, Diaz showed what the school of nursing is teaching its students.

“I think she did an excellent job. Her behavior was very reflective of what this profession is all about,” said Martin. “She was well prepared, she thought her way carefully through the situation in a very rapid manner, and she provided very competent and very compassionate care.” Martin said the department is proud of Diaz, and thankful she was there to help a person in need. “I saw her on the news and I was

so happy. We’re all so happy and pleased that she’s a part of this department. She represented us very well,” said Dr. Susan Levy. Even though Diaz has been getting a lot of praise for being the Good Samaritan, she says she did it because it was the right thing to do. To her it was about making a choice that would save a life. “I didn’t do it to get the attention. I just saw someone in the need of help, and I did my job,” said Diaz.

A teacher to f i r s t - g r a d e r s f ive days a

week, a makeshift mother to students attending the four major col leges around Nashvil le , a biological mother to three chi ldren and a daughter to two loving parents makes Lynette Boone the one who wears many hats. Something else she wears is a pin in the shape of a r ibbon worn on her chest that shows that she is a survivor.In November

2013, Boone was diagnosed with breast cancer, a disease that , according to the American Cancer Society, affects one in eight women. “The first thing that came to my mind was my grandmother because she had breast cancer and had a double mastectomy I started thinking am I going to die. But something else happened. God blessed me and I made it through,” said Boone. Boone credits her faith for helping her through, especial ly in January 2014 when she had two

lumpectomies, a process in which the tumor and surrounding t issues are removed. Boone did not let her diagnosis stop her work in the church. Boone said she has always l ived her l i fe according to how the Bible tel ls her, and has been an active member of her church. She serves as one of the col lege ministry coordinators at Cathedral of Praise Church of God in Christ .During her f ight against breast cancer, Boone remained in good spirits for the col lege ministry.

“I wanted to be strong for them, but I wanted them to see that even though I was going through a very diff icult t ime, that I had the abi l ity to sti l l stay strong. Even though behind closed doors they couldn’t see what I real ly was l ike, and how I real ly was feel ing,” added Boone. Having a strong support system al lowed Boone to stay motivated. Her support group included her mother, husband, church family, and the Gilda’s Club, an advocacy group for cancer patients.“They help me real ize that what I was feel ing okay. (Gilda’s Club) helped me to be strong for the people around me,” said Boone.She encourag es women of al l ages to g et yearly mammograms. The recommended ag e to begin the yearly check-ups is 40 years old, however, those who have a family history of breast cancer should start at ag e 35, according to Susan G. Komen. Now that Boone has put up a f ight and won the battle against breast cancer, she

volunteers for Susan G. Komen. She advises any woman who wil l face off with breast cancer to “trust God, and real ize you’re strong er than you think you are.”

“I wanted to be strong for them, but I wanted them to see that even though I was going through a very diff icult t ime, that I had the abi l ity to sti l l stay strong.

Thursday night fun over for students and locals who visit

Strike and Spare on Charlotte Pike. Strike and Spare shut its doors on October 19. Thursday nights were $1.00

bowling nights and the center was always packed out with college students. Phillip Cox, general manager, said the center had been in negotiations since November 2012 on the monthly rent with the owner of the building that housed Strike and Spare. The landlord increased the rent and Strike and Spare

couldn’t afford it. The building owner found new tenants who could.The center was notified on August 29 that it would officially close. Cox said he is upset about the center closing but knows that the future is bright. “It’s upsetting. We’re apart of West Nashville. We’ve helped this side of town grow and mature into what it is. Without us, probably nothing in the area would be,” said Cox. The center will eventually reopen once they find a new location, according to Cox. He says they have their eyes on the Bellevue area and plan to open up for business again in September 2015 or January 2016.

The campus bookstore has joined several campus stores

across the country to celebrate and promote the fourth annual National Student Day. Follett Corporation, the company that owns the store, recently dedicated a day to recognize Tennessee State University students who volunteer in the community. “We decided to take part in National Student Day because we see our students committing selfless acts every day,” said Steve Treece, manager of the TSU bookstore. During the Oct. 9 event, students got a chance to enter to win a swag bag and also register to join Hands on Nashville, a nonprofit

community service program. Officials from Follett Corporation say they plan to make it an annual event. National Student Day, is sponsored by the National Association of College Students, and focuses on the work of both college and high school students. TSU isn’t the only school apart of this initiative to encourage students to volunteer. Other schools participating include Prairie View University, Rhodes College and Southwest Tennessee Community College

Have you ever wanted to just drop

everything and never look back? It’s like, you have 1,000 things to do, but you just want to take a nap? Senior year can do that to you. It’s that time where everyone around you knows what you should do, but you don’t have any idea what’s about

to happen. You know in May or December that life as you know it is officially over. You’re REALLY a grown up. When you graduated high school, you knew

you were going to college. When you graduate college, you have to get a job. Finding employment after graduation isn’t always guaranteed. You work your butt off for years just to get a piece of paper and one of the biggest loans of your life. It’s unfair! Maybe you’re fortunate enough to get scholarships and grants to pay for college. Aren’t you responsible? Well get

ready for TSU to be in your mailbox every month looking for donations. What I’m trying to say is college really worth it? Everything I’m learning in class I could’ve looked up on Google or You-Tube. If you really wanted to learn biology you just Google it. If you want to be an engineer then you could look up on You-Tube how to build something. We’re paying for letters behind or in front of our name, but why? If you truly had a passion to learn, you would do it on your own. Maybe I just have senioritis. GOD KNOWS this has been a difficult semester for

me. We all just have to keep trying. We’re almost at the finish

line Class of 2015!

Tennessee State University will become part of history. For

the first time, Mount Zion Baptist Church has decided to move its

annual College Sunday celebration from its church house to an outside venue. The church has selected TSU’s Gentry Center Complex. Organizers expect about 12,000 people to attend this event. Attendees will

include both students and guests of local and surrounding universities. Bishop Joseph W. Walker, III will deliver a sermon just as he does any other Sunday. “Bishop Walker’s ability to reach my inner self through God’s word, spoken through him is unbelievable, and this is just on a regular 11:15 service Sunday. I cannot imagine this year’s College Sunday just because College Sunday is not just any regular service. I heard that this is the tenth anniversary of College Sunday,” says Marlecea Huelett, a junior nursing major. The event is being planned in conjunction with the Mt. Zion College Ministry on campus. “It is an amazing relationship between

the university and Mt. Zion Baptist church to actually bring the church experience to the campus. Mt. Zion for years has worked in collaboration with the Office of Student Activities as well as other departments on campus to assure that students have transportation, meals and feel connected while attending service there. While attendance is always great at the Mt. Zion church on College Day, I imagine this inaugural event on campus will touch even more students,” said Dr. Jame’l Hodges, assistant dean of Student Life and Engagement. Mount Zion College Sunday tends to attract not only students but other people from all over. Those who

cannot attend this event can watch it from home via a live feed at www.mtzionanywhere.org . Virtual viewers will be able to see College Sunday in real time so they will not miss a beat of praise and worship. “Sometimes I just cannot make the 11:15 a.m. service,” says Kia Wade, a frequent virtual viewer. “So, being able to experience the word of God and really get into the word from the comfort of my living is such a Sunday blessing. To see what Bishop Walker has in store for College Sunday this year is exciting. It’s good to see how students from other universities come together in a positive atmosphere to share and worship.” Doors will open at 9 a.m., on Nov. 9.

Miss Tennessee State University won’t be the only

college queen on campus. On Nov. 12, the new Miss Collegiate International will be crowned. The pageant will bring women from all backgrounds and give them a chance to shine and showcase the culture of their respective countries. This will be the first time for the pageant. This all started when pageant director and a former Miss TSU, Chandra Norman Lipscomb, pitched the idea to the Office of Diversity & International Affairs. “Every woman is a queen, every woman. It has nothing to do with your outward appearance. It’s how you feel about yourself, how you care about yourself and that

you believe in yourself. I can’t tell you how many contestants have come up to me and said, ‘You know what, when I saw that this was for international women, deep down I wanted to be in it but I’m second guessing myself because I’ve never been in anything like this. I’m so excited about this pageant,” says Lipscomb, coordinator of International Students & Cultural Programs. Event organizers are promising an event fit for a queen. Rossi Turner will serve as the artist director and choreographer. Dwight Pope will serve as set director. Both have worked together on the Dove and Stellar Awards. Pope has won rave reviews for his work on a host of TSU pageants such as the Mister and Miss TSU Coronation, Miss Black & Gold, Mister Ivy and Mister and Miss TSU pageants.

The contestants will represent a number of countries including Australia, Liberia, Somalia, Dominican Republic, Kurdistan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Laos, Kenya and Nigeria. All of the women participating have their own stories that make them special. Nataly Martinez, who will represent the Dominican Republic, says this pageant is about more than just winning a crown. It’s about accepting her individual beauty. She says her ear deformity is an example of defining your own beauty and embracing your self-worth. “I used to get made fun of when I was younger, and I was actually going to get surgery at 15 but then I was like, ‘Why?’ This makes me who I am, so I might as well embrace it,” says Martinez. Lipscomb said the goal for the pageant

is to help bridge the gap between domestic and international students. The pageant will be held at 6 p.m. in the Thomas E. Poag Auditorium in the Walter S. Davis Humanities Building. The event is free and open to the public. Event organizers are asking attendees to wear

cultural attire if possible, but it is not required. The pageant will be part of International Education Week (Nov. 10-14) hosted by the ODIA on campus. The week will feature a number of cultural activities including a Japanese festival.

All the votes are in and the Nashville chapter of the

National Association of Black Journalists has a new president. Jason Luntz, a mass communications professor at Tennessee State University, will now take over the helm. Luntz is also the social media director for the Tennessee Tribune newspaper. He builds websites and manages the social media for other companies as well. Although he is responsible for the professional chapter, he plans to focus on helping build the student chapter at TSU. “One of the most important things that

we’re going to be focusing on during my term is building the Tennessee State chapter of NABJ. We already have our executive board selected and we’re already in

works with the national organization to continue to grow that chapter here on campus,” says Luntz. Luntz joined NABJ in 2012.

T ennessee State University rol led out the blue carpet again,

this t ime for civi l r ights leader, Rev. Al Sharpton.TSU was the f irst stop of his nationwide tour. He used this visit to help

out fr iend and former TSU basketbal l player, Richard “Dick” Barnett who is campaigning to get the 1957, ’58 and ’59 Tiger team inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketbal l Hall of Fame. The team was inducted into the Tennessee Hall of Fame last spring. The Tigers were the f irst

col legiate team in history to win three consecutive championships. Barnett addressed the crowd of hundreds in Keen Hall before bringing Sharpton to the stage. Sharpton cal led for the crowd to support Barnett and his hal l of fame campaign before moving on to discussing racial disparit ies in sports, business and polit ics. “Dr. Barnett and his teammates played at a t ime where black folks would score and the score didn’t count. It took 56 years because it took Tennessee that long to catch up”, said Sharpton. “Dr. Barnett has done al l the work, now it ’s t ime for us to advocate for him.” Members of the men’s and women’s basketbal l teams were in the crowd, along with students and people from the community. New Men’s Basketbal l Coach Dana Ford presented Sharpton with a commemorative basketbal l as a token of thanks for supporting the hal l of fame init iative.

Sharpton moved from discussing the need to get the men’s team into the hal l of fame, to addressing voting in the black community, racial injustice and plans for his return to Ferguson, Mo in a couple of weeks.

Long day on campusThe day started with Sharpton attending a luncheon with TSU leaders, community leaders and students. Then, Sharpton headed to TSU’s WTST Radio station where he did a simulcast of his radio show “Keepin’ i t real with Reverend Al Sharpton”. TSU President Glenda Baskin Glover was his f irst special guest . Students crowded around the room, waiting to take pictures with the noted civi l r ights leader.Barnett then joined Sharpton on the show while cameras f i lming a documentary on Barnett ’s hal l of fame campaign were recording. Barnett says having an advocate l ike Sharpton wil l bring his story the national exposure it deserves.

“Obviously with his exposure and avai labi l ity to a national audience, that gives more people the awareness to what we are achieving ”, says Barnett . Barnett says the campaign is not just for the hal l of fame. It ’s an effort to also make TSU students aware of the history and tradition of the athletic program and the school .“ We think it ’s important for TSU students to know about our historical accomplishment that happened years ago”, says Barnett . The address also helped to inspire TSU students. “Listening to it , i t had a very posit ive effect on TSU students, as well as myself . It motivated me to continue my col lege career here at TSU. It was very uplift ing,” said student Dezmond Perry.As for what’s next on his campaign trai l , Barnett says he looks to get a special a c k n o w l e d g e m e n t from the White House before President Barack Obama’s term ends.

M any students walk the h a l l s , s t a i r w a y s

and corridors of the Gentry center every day. Hanging above their heads are banners that represent a hug e part of TSU’s athletic history. These banners represent the three consecutive NAIA championships won by the Tennessee State University men’s basketbal l team in 1957,’58, and ’59. Dr. Richard “Dick” Barnett , a former TSU and NBA basketbal l player, played on those historic teams. Barnett has launched an aggressive campaign to get his team in the Naismith Memorial Basketbal l Hall of Fame for their wins. Barnett says his

team achieved a feat that no other col lege basketbal l team in the nation achieved at that t ime. “Many current and former TSU students don’t know that TSU was the f irst col lege basketbal l team in history to win three straight national championships,” says Barnett . Barnett , a long with former TSU basketbal l coach John McLendon, has been inducted in several hal ls of fame including the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame and National Collegiate Basketbal l Hall of Fame. Part of Barnett ’s hal l of fame campaign, is to get McLendon into the Naismith Memorial Basketbal l Hall of Fame. “Right now, Coach McLendon is only in the hal l of fame as a contributor to the game of basketbal l ,

so we want to get him in there as a coach as well” , says Barnett . Barnett says one of the main tactics of his campaign is reaching out to media. According to Barnett , they are also working on getting a special a c k n o w l e d g e m e n t from the White House. A documentary cal led “The Quest is being fi lmed. The movie is documenting Barnett ’s hal l of fame campaign. Barnett says it ’s been 56 years since the achievement, and that its t ime for his team’s acknowledgement. “ We think our record speaks for itself ” , says Barnett . TSU student Mia Wiley says that she didn’t know about the record set by Barnett ’s team, but bel ieves his campaign wil l be good for the school . “ With al l the negative publicity surrounding TSU, I

think Dr. Barnett ’s campaign wil l bring something posit ive to l ight for the campus”, says Wiley.Barnett played four seasons with the Tigers, being named

tournament MVP in two of the three tournaments won by the Tigers.TSU retired Barnett ’s number in 2006.

The month of October is here, and fall fashion is making its way to

stores and closets. There

are multiple ways a per-son can create their own sense of style with-out breaking their bank account. The fall weather ranges from low 60s to high 80s. So, the weath-er is windy, yet the sun still shines making way

for warm attire with a little skin. College students are limited on two things: money and time. Therefore, when choosing fall fashion, many college students want attire that is affordable and

doesn’t take much time to find and put on.When it comes to the vari-ous pieces of fall fashion, selections can range from hats, boots, blazers, socks, and the versatile scarf col-lections. Fall fashion can be simple with just a colorful scarf as your main piece and a plain top, jeans and a cardigan. With being in college, a student could also find the simplicity in just wearing a colorful blazer to accentuate a simple top and bottoms with a pair of boots to match. “I really enjoy wear-ing the cardigans, warm infinity scarves, and boots when the fall season comes around,” explains says sophomore, Shaylyn Rice.Women and men fall fash-ion have more compari-sons than differences. Both women’ and men’s fall fash-ion clothing range from a blazer, pair of boots, a hat, and colorful socks. It is not hard to mix-and-match fall cloth-ing into a nice outfit. Companies such as Elle, Glamour, Teen Vogue and

Pinterest have tips and images that show what type of creations of fall clothing a person can wear. With the change in season, there are sales going on in area stores. H&M clothing store is having a mid-season sale up to 60 percent off on a thousand styles from knit-ted sweaters to two for $10 tanks. Also, Target is launching Pixi by Petra Collection for fall 2014 which has fall fashion for reasonable prices. “I love the different color schemes that come out in stores and the dif-ferent boot styles in men’s dress,” said Aaron Walker, a senior at TSU. When looking at fall fashion, college students want to know how they can have their own style in fall attire, but still are able to switch it up without buy-ing too much? A big part of fall fashion is about how you put together something simple and make it work. A person can pur-chase the major items such as a colorful scarf, colorful blazer, tick socks, and a nice

a pair of boots. Then pair that with a simple black or white top along with plain jeans or leggings in your closet. Switch up the major pieces and keep the simple pieces and a college student will now have a week full of fall outfits. Pinterest.com has a lot of ideas and sugges-tions when it comes to fall fashion for men and women who would like to look nice but not spend as much as possible, which is the chal-lenge for most college stu-dents. Fall fashion can be an inexpensive and fun. With fall being right around the corner and college students trying to find clothing that is nice but affordable, remember that fall is all about color and simplicity just like the weather, and if all else fails, remember what Ralph Lauren once said at his fall runway show in 2008, “fashion is not necessarily about labels. It’s not about brands. It’s about some-thing else that comes with-in you.”

Many college students have a hard time

figuring out what they want their major to be or what to choose for a future career. Some students are entrepreneurs and choose to get a head start on their own business. Garrison Adams, a junior healthcare administration major from Memphis, Tenn decided to be an entrepreneur and start his own chicken wing catering business called

Pluckerz. “I started Pluckerz because I’m very passionate about cooking. I love to see the smiles on people’s faces when they’re pleased with my food,” said Adams. He said Nashville is a good place to start a hot wing business because there aren’t many around here. He specializes in whole wings, drummettes and chicken strips with flavors like sweet heat, honey hot and honey gold. All that is served with fries. “It’s like the perfect blend of flavors, really spicy and just as sweet, it’s so good I can’t even describe it,” said Jerrika Lewiel, a health and science

major from Atlanta. ‘Sweet heat’ is her favorite flavor. Chicken isn’t the only offering from Pluckerz. Desserts are also on the menu. Sweet treats like cheesecake and funnel cakes are customer favorites. Adams says he’s cooking up more with his business. Coming soon is a concession trailer. After that, he’s getting a food truck. He eventually plans to own his own restaurant. B r a n d i Washington, a graduate of Tennessee State University, says she loves to see students doing something while in school and preparing for their future. “A lot of people wait until the last

minute but there are so many TSU students who are entrepreneurs and even us graduates

hear about these businesses and support them,” said Washington.

For the first time, Tennessee State U n i v e r s i t y ’ s L G B T Q

community hosted a week of events on campus as part of LGBTQ History Month in October. The week featured the screening of the “New Black” documentary followed by a panel discussing issues the LGBTQ student community faces on campus and other fun activities. This is a major move for the group and campus administration. It reflects the faculty and staff ’s shift and effort to respond to the needs of LGBTQ students. This is all part of the administration’s new program, TSU Safe Zone.The initiative launched earlier this year after the office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action on campus received a number of complaints related to sexual discrimination in the spring of 2013, including bullying in the residence halls.

“That’s when we said we have to do something to get students to know that this type of behavior is not tolerated at TSU, and that students have a place that they can go to feel safe. (That place is) the Safe Zone,” said Bobbie Porter, assistant director of the EOAA office and the deputy Title IX coordinator. The push for the safe zone started with a workshop to create an environment of support for homosexual students. Faculty and staff received training on sensitivity concerns, awareness and were educated about the issues involving the LGBTQ community. “The whole point of the Safe Zone is to create a visible network of individuals who are going to stand in support of the LGBTQ population,” Porter added. The Safe Zone was modeled after Vanderbilt University’s Safe Zone. Porter went through a training program. The EO/AA wanted to start with employees to have support from the faculty. Faculty and staff have received training based on Guidelines P080 where no student can be mistreated because of sexual orientation.Before beginning the training, faculty and staff had to express why they wanted to become a Safe Zone ally. “When you become a TSU Safe Zone ally, from that point

on, you are expected to behave in a certain way. When you hear negative language and see someone being bullied, as an ally it’s your job to step up and say something and get the behavior to stop,” said Porter.The University offers half day training and allies sign a contract agreeing to make themselves available. Faculty and staff allies are given Safe Zone decals to display outside their office door or in their office for students who are in need. Student allies receive buttons for their backpack. Through the Safe Zone, the EOAA wants to move towards having events that students support.

“We really haven’t had the students to support us. We brought speakers, workshops, and we’ve had one to two students show up in the Forum for it,” said PorterThis year, Porter said the EOAA strategically placed events during the National Coming Out week held Oct. 13-17 to start a conversation on campus. To coincide with the week, TSU received part of a $4,000 grant from the Human Rights Campaign to bring the “New Black” documentary to campus. The “New Black” covers the gay marriage debate in Maryland. It discusses how the biggest opponent in legalizing gay marriage

is the black church and details both sides of the issues.“For LGBTQ’s individuals of color, one of the biggest obstacles they come across is religion,” says Porter.Graduating senior and former vice president of the Gay-Straight Alliance, Bruce Johnson, was part of the panel discussion on the “New Black” movie. He says he has faced a lot of discrimination, particularly in the black church. “For me, it felt like everybody who was gay (was singled out and ridiculed). I don’t understand how you don’t understand how humiliating it is,” said Johnson.

November 10 marks the season open of the Tennessee

State University Lady Tigers season. The team will once again open up their season on the road, traveling to Raleigh, N.C. to play the North Carolina Staten Wolfpack.

The Lady Tigers look to turn things around this season after turning in a 12 – 18 win-loss card last season. The way they look to do so, is to meet the expectations of Coach Larry Inman and follow the lead of Rachel Allen, senior guard and team captain. She says she’s working this year to better her game by getting extra shots up and developing chemistry with the team.“The team is doing some of the same things to get ready for the season, and we are working extra hard in the weight room and getting extra time on the court together,” said Allen. Student and supporter of the women’s basketball team, Martavious Morton, said he noticed some of the strengths as well as weaknesses of the team last season, and feels that they’re not far from being

a complete team from all aspects of the game. “Despite the team losing just one more game two seasons back, the effort was still there, so adding a single win to the win column last season is an improvement. What’s really going to make the difference is the fact that the team lost one, maybe two players this past season, giving this group more time and more chemistry. Focus on the fundamentals of the game they’ll contend,” said Morton. “I think honestly, our greatest strength this year is depth. We are deep at literally every position this year. We lost one senior last year and we’ve gained five newcomers. The freshmen from last year are now sophomores which are developing well. Sometimes a team’s weakness can be staying focused, and the way we correct that is by having

great leadership that leads the team one day at a time, but the main focus this season for all of us are the little things,” Allen said in a statement when asked about the strengths and weaknesses of the team. Each player on this team has the opportunity to be remembered, while the team is driven by the hopes of being a champion at the end of the season. “Coach Inman’s expectations are championships, but we expect that out of ourselves as well,” said Allen. The Lady Tigers say they will remain optimistic and hungry throughout the season. Their first game will be at 6 p.m., Nov. 10 when they take on Tennessee Temple.

Key player injuries – Anthony Bass (DE), Michael German

(QB), Chris Sanders-McCollum (WR) and Daniel Fitzpatrick (DB) - set the Tigers (4-5, 1-4 OVC) back a bit this season and forced Coach Rod Reed to make some game adjustments. Fitzpatrick is the most recent hurt Tiger to return to the field. The starting safety, injured his leg during the Sept. 20 game against Tennessee Tech and sat out two games. He didn’t waste time making up for his absence. Since his return three games ago, he has a combined 17 tackles, an interception, a forced fumble and fumble recovery, according to the most recent stats

available.“Guys get injured. It’s part of the game, but we haven’t been hit with the injury bug before like we have this year,” says Reed. Fitzpatrick is a top defensive back for the Tigers. He, along with Leon Holderhead, was named Honorable Mention Player of the Week by the College Football Performance Awards earlier this month. That award joined the host of other awards he’s received. Despite the Tigers 4-5 record, Coach Reed said he didn’t want to play this season without Fitzpatrick in the backfield. “You love to have an all-American type kid back there. Right now, there are two freshmen who have been playing pretty decent, but there is nothing like a guy back there who has been playing for four years and

has seen a lot of action,” said Reed. It’s Fitzpatrick’s last year p l a y i n g . Though he wasn’t on the field while injured, he was still very much a part of the game. “It was bitter sweet. I couldn’t play but I got to see the game in a different aspect. I motivated my teammates to play harder

since I couldn’t play,” said Fitzpatrick. German along with Fitzpatrick are back on the field, however S a n d e r s - M c C o l l u m and Bass remain on the injured list. Sanders-McCollum recently returned but re-injured himself. Reed says, despite the injuries, the Tigers will continue

moving forward. “We have a next man philosophy and we can’t stop playing the game,” added Reed. “The only way they can get prepared is by seeing a lot or doing a lot of reps and watching a lot of film. I think our coaches have done a good job at getting our other guys prepared to step in for those guys injured.”

T he NFL has d e c i d e d to ban players from

wearing Beats by Dre along with other headphone brands. The ban comes after the league launched a partnership with Bose in March, making them the exclusive NFL headphones provider.Players are no longer al lowed to wear Beats headphones in training camp, preseason games, practice sessions, game days and during the 90 minutes fol lowing the game which includes postgame interviews and t ime spent in the locker rooms. Beats headphones are the most popular headphones to date, according to Forbes. The company owns 61 percent of the

premium headphones market in the U.S. while Bose owns 22 percent. Well known music producer and creator of Beats, Dr. Dre, sold the headphones to Apple for $3 bi l l ion. Beats isn’t l iking the ban. “Over the last few years athletes have written Beats into their DNA as part of the pre-game ritual ,” said a Beats spokesperson. “Music can have a significant posit ive effect on an athlete’s focus and mental preparedness and has become as important to performance as any other piece of equipment.” S a m Q u a n Evans, a defensive l ineman for Tennessee State University ’s footbal l team, said he l istens to music just before he hits the f ield and doesn’t agree with the NFL’s decision. “I don’t l ike what the NFL has done with the

banning of Beats. I feel as though if I ’m

a high commodity in the league and Dr. Dre sponsors me to wear his Beats and I am unable to because the NFL prefers Bose, then it ’s not fair,” said Evans, who favors Beats headphones. “It real ly doesn’t matter to me if they chang e it or not because at the end of the day the NFL is the one cutting the pay check and I ’m going to do whatever they say,” added Evans.Despite the ban, some players are doing what they want. During warm-ups at recent games, wel l-known players including Tom Brady, Cam Newton and Richard Sherman al l wore

Beats headphones. They were not f ined. That’s not the case for Colin Kaepernick. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback was fined $10,000 for wearing his Beats during a postgame press conference. Not only did he wear them, but the Beats by Dre Twitter account posted the picture of him. They have more than 620,000 fol lowers. The NFL released a statement saying it “ has longstanding policies that prohibit branded exposure on-field or during interviews unless authorized by the league. These policies date back to the early 1990s and continue today.”
