WASHBURN REVIEW

At the mere mention of +DOORZHHQ�� RQH·V� PLQG� LV� ÀOOHG�with images of wild costumes, haunted houses and buckets full of candy.

But where does this ghoulish holiday come from?

Because of the mingling and evolving of traditions from different cultures over the years, the origins of Halloween are debatable. Some historians note possible roots in ancient Celtic rituals, related to the coming of winter ,because of the holiday’s association with death and opening the door from this world to the next.

According to Tom Prasch, a professor and Chair of the History Department, others attribute the origin of Halloween to medieval Catholic traditions. All Hallows Day (All Saints’ Day) on November 1 and All Souls’ Day on November 2 are feast days established by the church to remember the saints in prayer and ring bells for those who have recently passed away. All Hallows’ Eve on October 31 was to mark the last day before spirits moved on to the afterlife.

“This comes to be associated with, among other things, the baking

of ‘soul cakes’… (a possible origin for ‘trick or treat’, or at least the treat part), the lighting of candles for the dead, and commemorative feasting…” said Prasch.

Prasch also noted that, “on the spookier side”, this is where the idea of ghosts rising from their graves to pull pranks on humans derived from. They did this as they made their way to the next life. People then wore disguises to make themselves unrecognizable in order to fool the spirits – the trick part of ‘trick or treat.’

Other than the Puritans, who rejected Halloween, Americans have been participating in the holiday since the colonial era. The arrival of Catholic immigrants, during the 19th century, secured a date on the calendar for its celebration.

“American innovations began to appear pretty early. That ‘trick or treat’ phrase is ours, for example, dating from the 1920s or ‘30s,” said Prasch.

According to Prasch, Halloween has not been a sizable American holiday until recently. Halloween themed parades arrived in New York in the 1970s and the older tradition of Halloween parties was revived in the 1980s.

In America, there has been some

blending of traditions between Halloween and Mexico’s Day of the Dead. While it has roots in Catholic ritual traditions, the Day of the Dead also exhibits customs of older Aztec rituals. Today, we FDQ� VHH� WKDW� SDUWLFXODU� LQÁXHQFH�in costumes and decorations that involve skeletal depictions.

Most recently, the Halloween celebration barely resembles the activities it originated from (pagan, Catholic, and otherwise).

“The main trends over the last few decades have been the commercialization and the secularization of the holiday, thus no one is praying for much of anyone or thinking of passages from Purgatory or going to mass,” said Prasch.

Halloween’s hallowed historyEach year, Washburn University

competes with Emporia State University, trying to raise more canned food donations, for their respective local food pantries.

“I think Can Emporia is good for our school to do, which is being able to outreach to those in need and I think it motivates students to donate cans since it’s against our rival school,” said Sarah Watts, a junior social work major.

This year, for the Can Emporia competition, all student organizations will be competing with one another. The top prize is the recognition on a brand new WSGA SODTXH�DQG�D��*LIW�&HUWLÀFDWH�for their student organization. The winner will be the organization that raises the most money and/

or canned foods for Can Emporia. The donation of the items count as follows: four packages of Ramen noodles is one can, jarred items and boxes of cereal of 12 ounce or more are equal to three cans, and macaroni & cheese counts as one can. Every donated dollar is equal to three cans.

Cash and cans are being collected in the Washburn Student *RYHUQPHQW� 2IÀFH� LQ� WKH� ORZHU�level of the Memorial Union and online donations can be made on the Washburn Student Government Association’s webpage under the Can Emporia subsection. More information can be found on MyWashburn.

When most people think of Oc-tober, they correlate the month with Halloween, pumpkins and the leaves changing color.

However, October is more than just a month to pull out your boots and sweaters; it is a time to “Think Pink.”

October 1 marked the begin-ning of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and now it is in full swing.

Throughout the month, events, such as marathons and fundraisers, are held nationwide to support both survivors and women currently ÀJKWLQJ� WKH� GLVHDVH�� UDLVH� DZDUH-ness of breast cancer itself and raise money to support research for a cure.

According to the American Can-cer Society, 1 in 8 women in Amer-ica will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime. That being said, it is not a stretch to say that nearly everyone will be affect-ed by breast cancer in some way.

The Zeta sorority house at Wash-burn is very active in promoting Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Zeta kicked off their Think Pink activities by tying pink ribbons around campus to raise awareness.

“To Zeta, pink ribbons are a sym-bol of a dedication to help others ÀJKW� DJDLQVW� EUHDVW� FDQFHU�� :KHQ�we put up ribbons, we hope to make students think about how they can act to help those with breast can-

cer. We also hope that the ribbons will remind them that they need to check themselves for early signs of breast cancer,” said Think Pink chair Baylie Ginter.

Pink ribbons are just the begin-ning of Zeta’s work during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. They

will also host many other activities throughout October, including the Think Pink football game and tail-gate, a pink picnic chili feed at the Zeta house, the Big Man On Cam-pus mens’ pageant and a fundrais-er at Papa Keno’s Pizzeria to help ÀQDQFLDOO\� VXSSRUW� EUHDVW� FDQFHU�education and awareness. ´2XU� RSSRUWXQLW\� WR� KHOS� ÀJKW�

breast cancer has taught us many valuable lessons. It has shown us the beauty of helping others, taught us responsibility and brings us together in new ways each year. :RUNLQJ�WRJHWKHU�WR�ÀJKW�IRU�VRPH-thing that affects so many people is a truly amazing thing,” said Ginter.

Breast cancer is the second lead-ing cause of death from cancer in women, and the American Cancer Society estimates over 232,000 new cases diagnosed in 2014.

“ It is important to have a month dedicated to breast cancer in order to spread the word,” said Ginter. “When people hear about breast cancer and see pink everywhere, it reminds them to get checked so they can catch the signs of cancer early.”

Mike Brown, a Washburn Uni-versity graduate, became interested in international travel while in col-lege.

“My focus in my career has nev-er been on the titles, but the work I was able to do with each role,” said Brown when asked if he had ever imagined becoming president of an international company.

During Brown’s 12 year career with Burns & McDonnell he has held multiple positions including senior attorney in the legal depart-ment, director of business develop-PHQW�IRU�WKH�ÀUP·V�JOREDO�IDFLOLWLHV��YLFH�SUHVLGHQW�RI�WKH�ÀUP�DQG�ÀQDO-ly, president.

One of the things that helped prepare Brown for his success-ful career was a law degree from Washburn University. When he ÀUVW� MRLQHG� %XUQV� � 0F'RQQHOO�in 1998, he started out as a senior attorney for the legal department. From there, he worked his way up WR�EHFRPLQJ�DQ�RIÀFHU��

“Having a legal perspective on every project can always provide additional value when accessing both opportunities and potential challenges,” said Brown.

When it comes to preparation for a job after college, Brown believes that internships are key.

“They allow you to ‘try on’ the MRE��VR�WR�VSHDN��WR�VHH�KRZ�LW�ÀWV�µ�said Brown.

Burns & McDonnell welcomes over 100 interns from across the country every year. They expe-

Perhaps the most important ad-vice Brown can give to current college students is to be involved in university activities. He believes that his involvement in Greek life and intramural sports really helped him stay well-rounded and morph into leadership roles in his career.

“Themes of collaborative team work and friendly competition that I embraced in college continue to serve me well, today.” said Brown.

WASHBURN REVIEW

After eight years of inac-tivity, Washburn will once again have a Rotaract Club on campus thanks to the ef-forts of WU student Krystle McDonald.

A campus and communi-ty-based offshoot of Rotary International, Rotaract is open to individuals who are dedicated to community ser-vice.

McDonald was in-spired to get Rotaract up and running again after a conversation with Washburn busi-ness professor Liviu Florea, who believes WKH�FOXE�FRXOG�EHQHÀW�D�variety of students.

“We would like to be open to all Wash-burn students, from all departments and schools,” said Florea. “Rotaract is a service oriented organization that has equal appeal to all students, no matter what their major might be.”

While Rotaries are tra-ditionally geared toward business professionals, an academically diverse roster could also make for a stron-ger, more effective organiza-tion.

“It’s not dealing with just accounting, business or so-cial sciences,” said McDon-ald. “It’s about the commu-nity, so students from any PDMRU�FDQ�KHOS�EULQJ�EHQHÀWV�to what we’re doing.”

Though linked to and mentored by area Rotary clubs, campus Rotaracts are primarily self-governed and members are encouraged to bring their individual strengths and ideas to the ta-ble. Local Rotaries will often provide support to their cam-pus counterparts.

“The Rotary Club is kind of like the big brother to Rot-aract,” said McDonald. “That FRQQHFWLRQ�LV�GHÀQLWHO\�WKHUH�and they can provide experi-ence and help get things off

the ground. But Rotaract is its own unit and operated by the members.”

Members of Rotaract club work to organize projects that provide humanitarian services to communities, both locally and globally. These projects can be in conjunction with sponsoring Rotaries or something that club members come up with themselves.

Ongoing projects that Topeka Rotary clubs are in-volved with include helping

to provide clean water to im-poverished communities in Guatemala and SoleMates, a locally-based project that sees Rotary teamed with Payless Shoes to give new shoes and socks to area chil-dren in need.

“The children come in buses from school and meet us in the parking lot of Pay-OHVV�DQG�ZH�ÀW�HDFK�RI�WKHP�with new shoes and socks,” said Florea. “It’s really a neat project to be involved with.”

Helping Hands Humane Society and Let’s Help are two other local charities that EHQHÀW�IURP�WKH�DVVLVWDQFH�RI�Topeka Rotary Clubs.

Members of Rotaract club are guided by a set of prin-ciples called the Four-Way 7HVW�� $V� GHÀQHG� E\� 5RWDU\�International. The Four-Way Test “is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional re-lationships.”

The test, which is recited

by members at each meeting, asks the following questions pertaining to the things Ro-tarians say and do:

Is it the TRUTH?Is it FAIR to all con-

cerned?Will it build GOODWILL

and BETTER FRIEND-SHIPS?

Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

These values, both Florea and McDonald maintain, speak to the heart of what Rotaract is all about.

One of the big-JHVW� EHQHÀWV� WR�being in Rotaract comes from the op-portunity to estab-lish relationships with area profes-sionals and leaders.

“There are a lot of synergies that can be created through Rotaract,” said Flo-rea. “One of them would involve net-working between current students and professionals.”

The club also gives students a chance to be a part of something that FRXOG� EHQHÀW� WKHP�ZHOO� EH-yond college.

“It’s about getting in-volved in something, said McDonald. “And not just getting involved in some-WKLQJ�IRU� WKH�EHQHÀW�RI�\RXU�resume, but something that will help your community. In a more professional aspect, it can bring a lot of good con-nections with business peo-ple in the area.”

The Washburn Rotaract &OXE�ZLOO�KROG�LWV�ÀUVW�PHHW-ing at 2 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 24 in the Mabee Library. Those interested in joining or seeking more information about Rotaract can contact Krystle McDonald at [email protected].

The Washburn Review is

printed by the Independence Examiner. It is

printed 13 weeks each semester.

Q: I am having a really hard time staying focused in all my classes. It’s a real struggle to even go to class anymore. I feel so burnt out with school, which scares me because it’s only halfway through the semester. I don’t want my grades to suffer but I just need help refocusing my energy.

A: We’ve all been there.

It’s the disease of skipping

class. It’s almost like a

drug. Once you skip one

class it becomes this habit

you can’t break. You get

so comfortable not going

to class and so relaxed

staying home in your

pajamas and watching

1HWÀL[�DOO�GD\��7KH�EHVW�way to avoid this epidemic

is to not skip class. I know,

I know it’s way easier said

than done. Believe me I

fall victim to it on many

occasions.

7KH�EHVW�ZD\�WR�JHW�\RXU�head back in the game

is realizing that you are

paying for these classes.

It’s like spending hundreds

of dollars on something

and watching it go right

down the drain if you don’t

actually participate and do

good.

Every now and then we

all need a break from our

classes but don’t confuse a

little break with a vacation.

Academics should be the

most important thing on

your mind as a college

student. If it’s not your top

priority then why are you

even here? Don’t wast your

time, your professor’s time,

or anyone else invested in

your education if you can’t

VHHP�WR�¿QG�WKH�PRWLYDWLRQ�to go to class.

I’m not saying I condone

dropping out but some

SHRSOH�UHDOO\�GR�¿QG�WKHLU�career through other ways

than academically. Maybe

you need to take a break

from school all together

and think about where you

want to see yourself years

from now. Because if you

want that career you’ve

been working so hard

DW�WKHQ�\RX�ZLOO�¿QG�WKH�motivation to go to class.

7DNH�D�GD\�WR�EUHDWKH�and relax from class but

If you have paid any attention to the media recently, then you are aware that the Ebola virus has reached the United States. As frightening as the virus may be, it is important to keep the Ebola virus and other epidemic illnesses in perspective.

It is disturbing that Americans are so concerned that the virus has reached the United States, given that there was little concern as the epidemic hit West Africa. There have only been a few FRQÀUPHG�FDVHV�RI�LQIHFWLRQ�in the United States, but there have been thousands of cases across multiple West African nations. In countries that do not have the sort of infrastructure that the United States tends to take for granted, there is a very clear and present reason to worry.

There is an unwarranted level of fear over the virus spreading in the United States the way it has in West Africa. The virus is spread through FRQWDFW�ZLWK�ERGLO\�ÁXLGV�from an infected individual,

only when the infected individual is symptomatic. The primary group at risk is health care workers who come into direct contact with infected individuals. The virus can live for hours on a surface or for days if in a collection of ERGLO\�ÁXLGV��EXW�FDQ�EH�NLOOHG�by bleach.

Those who live in the United States are not likely to be affected, but others who live in poverty or in areas where conditions are not ideal for prevention are at risk. This is why everyone, regardless of their country of residence should be concerned. Epidemic illnesses are everyone’s concern, even if you live far removed from the risks.

Epidemic illnesses play a major part in the evolution of Homo sapiens. As a species, we are unique from an evolutionary perspective. Our ÀWQHVV�LV�QRW�VLPSO\�WKH�UHVXOW�of slow biological adaptations over many generations. We are special because our cultural and technological adaptations have allowed

us to adapt and survive to changes in our environment at a rapid rate.

The origin of modern Homo sapiens is a product of our cultural and technological adaptations. In Europe, our close relatives, the Neanderthals lived for nearly twice as long as modern humans have ever existed. We ultimately survived as the Neanderthals went extinct thanks to our ability to learn DQG�DGDSW�TXLFNO\��2XU�ÀWQHVV�increased so rapidly that our close relatives could not compete.

In truth, we evolved VSHFLÀFDOO\�WR�DGDSW�ZKHQ�our survival was threatened. Our species has survived epidemics such as the bubonic plague, which killed nearly 50 percent of Europe. Eventually we learned behaviors that reduced transmission rates and we developed vaccinations to increase our ÀWQHVV��2XU�XQLTXH�OLQH�RI�cultural and technological evolution has given us what ZH�QHHG�WR�ÀJKW�WKH�(EROD�virus.

What really threatens our survival is when we fail to take advantage of what our ancestors have given us in the face of epidemics. We ignore threats to our wellbeing as a species when it becomes an inconvenience. Not enough attention has been paid to the epidemics that hurt those who live in poverty far removed from us. When we allow for others to die when we could help contribute to a chance of eliminating the threat, we deny humanity an opportunity to adapt, evolve, and grow.

Europe would not have beaten the bubonic plague without the knowledge of early vaccinations that were developed in the Middle East. We evolve to survive the epidemic illnesses that WKUHDWHQ�RXU�ÀWQHVV�WKURXJK�cross-cultural interaction. Epidemics always have been and always shall be the concern of all humanity.

None of what we face is uncharted territory. It is important that we prioritize knowledge, education, and a commitment to all human beings’ survival and progress.

For those in the United States, we have our own epidemics such as childhood obesity, which threatens our health at a much higher risk than catching the Ebola virus. There are other nations that have put programs in place to reduce their risks of childhood obesity. Right now, the United States has structures in place that help prevent the spread of the Ebola virus, but before it arrived here, we were not paying attention or offering enough help.

Understanding public health on a global scale is not an easy task, but it is of high importance to all humanity. There is no nation that is immune to a public health crisis. There is also no nation that should not be concerned with health crises in other parts of the world. The only way our species will continue to evolve is through cross-cultural interaction and the sharing of knowledge and technology.

Homecoming week kicked off on Monday night Oct. 13 with a formal Homecoming ball that began at 7 p.m. in the Washburn room of the Memorial Union.

On display at the ball were wildly decorated Ichabod top hats created by several student organizations. They will be on display throughout Homecoming week and students can vote for their favorite by putting change in jars designated for the hats or by bidding on a hat. There will be an auction for the hats in a fundraiser for the United Way of Greater Topeka.

Royalty nominations were on the minds of many dressed in their best as the clock neared 8p.m. and the dancing was interrupted so the candidates could be announced. All nominees must be either juniors or seniors and were nominated through several different

student organizations. “I am here because I was nominated by the Non-traditional Students Organization,” said Shannon Kennedy.

Certain that The Ichabod’s will pull off a win at the football game on Saturday, Shelby Robke a senior radiology major and member of Zeta Tau Alpha was at the ball to cheer on her friends. “Six of my sorority sisters have been nominated,” said Robke.

“One of my good friends, Sierra Valdivia, [a senior sociology major], was nominated and I am here to support her,” said Kathryn Silvers, a Washburn alumnus.

Several students were honored for nomination to Washburn Royalty. Out of the nominees, 10 were narrowed down in the voting process and

will be on the football ¿HOG� RQ� +RPHFRPLQJ� GD\�for the announcement of the King and Queen. The ¿YH� QRPLQHHV� IRU� TXHHQ�are Margeaux Seymour, Elizabeth Burgett, Carly Willis, Jordan McDowell and Kelsey Schweer. The ¿YH� QRPLQHHV� IRU� NLQJ� DUH�Chance Barrow, Zachary Willis, Garrett Fenley, Anthony Ho and Alex Crume

Voting for the 10 remaining nominees for homecoming royalty began Monday evening at 8:30 on my.washburn.edu and is open through Friday night. Voting in person at the Memorial Union is open 10a.m. to 1 p.m. every day through Friday, Oct. 17.

The theme for Homecoming this year is Ichabods unleashed. With every Homecoming event organizations do their best to be creative and incorporate

the theme in their entries. Among the Homecoming

events this week are Banner Competitions, Door Decorating, the Ichabod Race, Yell Like Hell and Cake Decorating.

TOPPING IT OFF: Washburn top hat designs were on display for the student’s to view as they entered the dance. Organizations across campus entered in personally decorated top hats to compete in one of the Homecoming challenges. The top hats were with the homecoming theme, Ichabods unleashed, and were due this past Monday. Voting for favorite top hats will take place throughout the week in the Union.

The Runners were back in town this past weekend, sporting their breast cancer awareness pink jerseys against The Odessa Jackalopes.

“We put them on heels early and that’s our game plan,” said Roadrunners head coach Scott Langer. “Our guys responded, we had a few opportune goals. I thought our guys played a good hockey game.”

The second goal of the night was made by forward Willie Brown in an unassisted play where the swept the puck behind the goalie’s right leg with 5:44 left on the clock.

“They played hard; they are a decent hockey team,” said Langer. “Sometimes when you KDYH� WKDW� ELJ� RI� D� OHDG��it’s tough to maintain it, but I thought they pushed hard and our guys responded.”

In all relativity 1994 was a turbulent year for the generation X rock scene. The reluctant and tortured media darling poster child for generation X, Kurt Cobain had died. In the wake of Cobain’s suicide it appeared that the gilded grunge age was collapsing. Cobain was good friends with R.E.M. front man, Michael Stipe who had also lost his friend, River Phoenix a few months earlier.

R.E.M. was a band trapped in an uncomfortable transition from young artists, to elder statesmen in the vein of alternative rock. They had reached a career high with 1992’s “Automatic For the People.” The album contained several iconic tracks such as “Man on the Moon,” “Everybody Hurts,” and “The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight.” Their next album, “Monster,” was the product of Stipe’s disassociation. Although it debuted at number one on the Billboard charts,

receiving high marks from certain critics, many reacted negatively toward it.

Stylistically, “Monster” was a departure from the R.E.M. sound most were used to hearing. Stipe’s singing and Bill Berry’s drumming were lower in the mix while Peter Buck’s heavily distorted and delayed guitar dominated the album’s mix. The tones of the album were something different than what the fans expected.

With each song Stipe wrote and sang in different characters. It was something different than what people knew of R.E.M. and although it had a gritty feel to it, it was not a stab at grunge. In all aspects, “Monster” was the product of many converging variables that premiered in a year that was already marred by the death of Cobain.

The song “Let Me In” was a tribute to Kurt Cobain and the album was dedicated to River Phoenix. Bassist Mike Mills and Berry both fell ill during the recording sessions

and Stipe and Buck left to visit family members. The album was conceived at C r o s s o v e r S o u n d s t a g e in Atlanta, Georgia. The EDQG� ÀJXUHG�out the songs playing while standing up as if in concert. The album could best be described as what happened when R.E.M. came together during a stressful transitional point, eager to tour again.

The opening track, “What’s the Frequency Kenneth,” was a hard guitar-driven song that referenced an attack on the news anchor Dan Rather with Stipe in character as madman struggling to comprehend youth culture. The second track, “Crush With Eyeliner,” is a song that takes work to

understand. It’s all about identity. At the end of the day we all invent ourselves and often fake traits when we want to catch the right attention.

The Cobain tribute song, “Let Me In,” was a well-written tribute to a friend lost to suicide. After singing, “I had a mind to stop you,” Stipe follows with “I can’t see all the birds looking down and laughing at me/Clumsy,

crawling out of my skin.” The song may seem lyrically simple, but is ultimately sincere.

R.E.M. is one of those few bands that can be both a hip and intellectual hidden gem and the sort of group any of your friends that don’t collet records could recognize. For me, “Monster” is the sort of album that separates the R.E.M. fans from those who recognize a song or two from the albums “Out of Time” or “Automatic for the People.”

After 20 years, the album KDVQ·W� VSRLOHG�� ,W� LV� ÀUPO\�planted in my R.E.M. collection and gets a revisit from me more than just on its anniversary. My advice to anyone who may want to explore the band further is to start with “Murmur,” taking each album in order and to be careful not to lose momentum when you hit “Monster,” even if it doesn’t sound like the R.E.M. you are used to.

YouTube community takes on sexual harassment and abuse

Patrick Barry

WASHBURN REVIEW

If you have used YouTube lately, you’ve likely seen links to videos of commentary on the recent discussion of sexual harassment and abuse.

While this is not a new discussion by any means, it has reached new heights of awareness due to the recent upload of a video titled “Fake Hand Ass Pinch Prank.” The video was posted by British YouTube celebrity Sam Pepper who is internet-famous for his “prank” videos.

However, prank is loosely GHÀQHG�LQ�WHUPV�RI�<RX7XEH�video categories.

Sam Pepper’s videos are not of witty, clever and harmless jokes. Instead, they portray serious social badgering and sexual harassing of innocent

individuals without their consent.

Laci Green, a YouTube feminist and sex-education advocate, uploaded a video, “Sam Pepper Exposed” with her response to the Sam Pepper scandal.

“At the end of the day, regardless of what you call it-a prank, an experiment, awareness raising-when you touch someone without consent, when you force them to be sexual with you, when you pressure them on camera like that, that is harassment, violation, assault. Which is not only wrong, but illegal,” she said.

“Fake Hand Ass Pinch Prank” earned him some well-deserved heat from viewers. Enraged viewers have taken to the comments section of

YouTube and other social media platforms to explain why videos like this are simply unacceptable–some are even pushing for judicial action against Pepper.

The problem is that as YouTube celebrity culture has grown, internet-famous personalities have gained power over their viewers. Now we’re beginning to see the abuse of that power.

Washburn student, Colleen Kelly, English and secondary-education major, is an active member of the YouTube community.

“I know how easy it is to elevate someone to celebrity status, and that can be very destructive behavior,” said Kelly. “As viewers, we need to remember that these are regular people, behind their

content, [and are] just as ÁDZHG�DV�WKH�UHVW�RI�XV��%XW�more so, YouTubers need to take personal responsibility for how they treat their fans and…not abuse their celebrity status.”

A multitude of people have come forward with stories of how Pepper and other similar YouTubers have made them feel uncomfortable or have pressured them into violating situations. “I think that for myself and many other YouTubers, we’ve decided that this can’t go on anymore,” Green said. “We need to say something. Not only is he violating people in these videos, but he’s also sending the message out to millions of young, unquestioning fans that this is a normal way to interact with

women. It’s not.”Even more discomforting is

that YouTubers can monetize their video viewership.

“Don’t watch these people’s videos. Don’t support their content. And don’t subscribe,” said Green.

What is interesting about this scandal is it takes a real world problems and drops it directly into our online world.

Because the platform is so broad, YouTube as a company cannot minutely control its users. It’s important for users to take responsibility for their content and to critique the content of others.

Find your political voice

Politcal ads, I know. I’m sick of them too. I always feel

so manipulated by these ads. They’re so obviously swayed, it practically makes me sick.

I’m not going to vote for someone because they bashed their opponents on television. Give me the facts. It’s essential as an adult to achieve a basic understanding of political issues and use your political voice to participate. But how does one ÀQG�WKHLU�SROLWLFDO�YRLFH"

It’s pretty easy. It can be boiled down into three simple steps. All it takes is a little passion about things that matter.

Educate YourselfHave you ever found yourself

ready to punch someone in the

face because they were SURE they were right, but they didn’t KDYH�WKH�IDFWV�WR�EDFN�LW�XS"�Welcome to politics. This is why it is absolutely essential to educate yourself. Find real world issues to get passionate about. There are plenty of areas that need reform and development. I’m not just talking about saving the whales, here. America is notorious for its inequality issues – women and gender, marriage, income, race, education and student loans. There’s plenty to get passionate about.

Do your research. Don’t just stick with one source like Fox News or CNN – check many

sources to look at the issue from all perspectives. Talk to your friends, family, and colleagues. Get their opinions and compare them. Compare them to your research. Now you’re

starting to develop your own opinion – and that’s a good thing! As long as you have educated yourself thoroughly on the topic. You and I may not share the same opinion on an issue, but if you can defend your opinion with hardcore information, I will respect it.

Have opinionsOpinions are not innately bad.

Opinions are natural. Don’t be pigheaded and unwavering about your opinions. Listen to others. Keep up with news and research. Don’t shame others for having a different opinion than your own. Discuss your opinions with

others in a respectful way. You might learn something new, or might begin to understand things from a different perspective.

Get involved Some were born to be activists.

Some choose to be activists. You don’t have to carry a picket sign down 21st street calling for an increase in the minimum wage. Share your opinions and call for change. Call out political leaders when they are causing more harm than good. Becoming a political activist is not for everyone. The important thing is to be aware of what’s going on in your country and be active. The easiest and most crucial way to do this is by voting.

If you have never heard of Ronnie Wood, then you know little about rock ‘n’ roll. He is regarded as one of the most talented axe-men of his generation. He has been a member of The Jeff Beck Group, The Faces, The New Barbarians, Rod Stewart’s solo projects, and The Rolling Stones. He has also been a featured guest at live performances ranging from The Last Waltz to Eric Clapton’s Rainbow Concert. His debut album, “I’ve Got My Own Album To Do,” which Wood recorded at his house, turned 40 years old this September.

The album itself is an impressive set of rock ‘n’ roll tracks, but the legend and lore behind the music is what makes the album even more mythical. For a start, WKH� DOEXP� PDUNV� WKH� ÀUVW�great collaboration between Wood and Keith Richards. Since 1974, the two have been rock ‘n’ roll soul

mates that literally speak to each other through their guitars to the extent that any concert is more or less a playful debate.

According to Wood, Richards ended up at Woods’ house while Wood was making the album after a night spent out at a bar. One inebriated evening turned into four months with Richards as a roommate. One night together recording parts for “I’ve Got My Own Album To Do” was the catalyst for the partnership that now GHÀQHV� WKH� VRXQG� RI� 7KH�Rolling Stones after ’75.

Rod Stewart, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones, who were band mates with Wood in The Faces were guests on the album. Wood partnered with George Harrison on slide guitar for the track “Far East Man.” Wood recalls that Keith Moon and Ringo Starr showed up to play one night, but the drum kit had been sent away to be repaired. Wood taught the two legendary British rock

drummers how to properly play an E chord on guitar.

David Bowie and Mick Jagger both lent help on the vocals of “I Can Feel the Fire.” Jagger helped Wood arrange the song and after the track was laid down, Jagger asked for Wood’s help on a new Rolling Stones song, “It’s Only Rock and Roll.” 7KH� ÀUVW� UHFRUGLQJ� RI� WKH�song featured Wood, Jagger, Jones, and Bowie. Richards later recorded his own guitar tracks, but Wood’s 12-string can still be heard on the record. Mick Taylor played as a guest on the album as well and after his departure from The Rolling Stones in ��:RRG�ÀOOHG�LQ�DQG�KDV�been sitting in ever since.

In one sense, the album is a tribute to the genius and talent for collaboration of Wood. The album is also only short of being a Ronnie Wood album with The Rolling Stones as his backing band by Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts.

The opening track, “I Can Feel the Fire,” starts

the album off with a bang featuring a line-up that most super groups fail to achieve. The track “Act Together” showcases what Wood could do with a Jagger and Richards song. 7KH�ÀQDO�WUDFN�RQ�WKH�$�VLGH�of the LP, “Am I Grooving You,” is a heavy blues IXHOHG�VRQJ�WKDW�ÀWV�:RRG·V�guitar skills, vocal qualities, and harmonica together in a package that remains a steady live number for Wood.

After 40 years, “I’ve Got My Own Album To Do” has held its value. In retrospect, it is mind-blowing to think that a VLQJOH� JXLWDU� SOD\HU·V� ÀUVW�solo attempt would trigger the quintessential classic rock guitar partnership and predict the post ’75 evolutionary trajectory of The Rolling Stones. If you dare call yourself a true fan of The Rolling Stones, don’t be caught dead without this album in your collection. While you’re at it, check out some of Wood’s impressive paintings.
