A day after the tenth anniversary of 9/11, Daytona State College held a commemoration ceremony for the fallen victims of that momentous date in 2001, a time that most Americans will never forget. Starting at 11 am sharp, the ceremony was held at the Echo Plaza in the middle of the DSC campus. Realizing what was taking place, many of the students and faculty across the college grounds instantly halted what they were doing to stop and refl ect on a time that has changed the very core of the nation. Students from the Emergency Services program surrounded the clock tower, a reminder of how everyday civilians and fi rst responders gave their lives to save so many others. The color guard solemnly carried Old Glory to the center of the Plaza while members of the military, including Marines and Navy, saluted the American fl ag.

it’s up to them.”
“Help is limited to food that needs to

eat fast food. It’s easy access to food.”
Opinion 3In Motion/October 2011
Austin KingIn Motion Staff Writer
With the number of Americans receiving food stamps continuing to exceed records, lobbying has begun for the government assistance program to be accepted at many unhealthy yet convenient fast-food locations. This change would not only be a health risk but a budgeting nightmare. According to federal lobbying records, Yum! Brands, owners of Taco Bell, Long John Silver’s, Pizza Hut and KFC, would like to be an option for the nearly 15% of the population currently in the program and the $63 billion they receive. Overseen by the Department of Agriculture, the purpose of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, is summarized on their official website, “We help put healthy food
Food stamps at fast-food chainsIn Motion
Staff Editorialon the table for over 40 million people each month.” A “Beefy-Five Layer Burrito,” isn’t exactly what comes to mind when making healthy diet choices. You certainly wouldn’t boast about your daily caloric intake after eating the KFC nightmare of a chicken sandwich, the “Double Down.” There are more reasons besides the health statistics associated with fast-food to make this proposal dangerous though. While using food stamps on a drive-through meal might fill an immediate void, the long-term effects of exhausting your benefits too early and not having the money to replace necessities like milk, bread and eggs would be devastating. For a country already in economic turmoil, it should be clear that buying a gallon of milk for $3.50, bread for $2.00, cereal for $3.00 and lunch meat for $2.50 far outweighs the benefits of one large
pepperoni pizza. The USDA should immediately deny these restaurants the ability to accept food stamps. Taking advantage of an already vulnerable group of society is the last thing our government should be doing. Based on BMI, or body-mass index, more than 30% of the U.S. population is obese. Convenient food delivered right to your car window isn’t going to help these statistics. Fast-food restaurants are not interested in providing the nutrients needed to live a healthy life, they are interested in the bottom line – money. If this wasn’t true, they would have lobbied to have these changes implemented long before 1 in 7 Americans needed government assistance putting food on the table. Food stamp recipients are already underprivileged. The least our government could do is prevent them from being taken advantage of.
The Georgia Board of Pardons and Pa-roles should be charged with murder. The evidence shows they have the blood of a potentially innocent man on their hands. On September 21, Troy Davis was ex-ecuted by lethal injection after two decades of legal battles to prove his innocence. During that time, seven of nine key wit-nesses in his murder trial have recanted their statements, with some even blaming police coercion and threats as the reason they testified against Davis. While the evidence doesn’t come close to showing that Davis is innocent, it also doesn’t prove guilt. The legal system is meant to prosecute criminals who are guilty beyond any reasonable doubt, not guilty by witness’s testimony with no DNA evidence and no recovery of a murder weapon. Without the burden of proof, prosecutors shouldn’t have asked for the death penalty in this case. We are barbaric people. Why are we so quick to seek the execution of others? Court cases aren’t meant to leave you with a sickening feeling in the pit of your stomach, Davis’ case does. On May 22, 2008, the same Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles commuted the death sentence of Samuel Davis Crowe. His sentence was changed to life without the possibility of parole. Crowe was convicted of murder and admitted to the crime. Davis was given a date to his execu-tion four times. Imagine being hours from death four separate times, only to be spared at the last moment. He was tortured by our government. We aren’t the America we pretend to be, we don’t believe in being innocent until proven guilty and we are a disgrace. “I am Troy Davis, we are Troy Davis, they say death; we say no.”
Georgia death penalty case shows our true colors

News4 In Motion/October 2011
For the average student, it’s easy to imagine politics operating like a poorly managed chicken coop, filled to the brim with open-mouthed, squawking poultry, begging for consideration and trampling their neighbors in order to survive. At the monthly Board of Trustees meeting, however, this wasn’t the case. A frighteningly professional round table stands in the center of room 402L building 100, and around it sits the Board of Trustees. Proceedings here work with a well-organized system of give and take. Chairperson Dwight Lewis, the man with the gavel resting just within his reach, begins the meeting as the first presenter takes their place. Presenters face the menacing table with nothing to arm themselves but a microphone, a Power Point presentation and a comforting notion that everyone is in the same boat. The first of many meetings to come, most information was incomplete and dismal this past board meeting on Sept. 15. But the point was to introduce varying issues of the College, not necessarily to solve them. The most disturbing problem, although not an entirely unexpected one, is the decline of enrollment this fall. With $800,000 less than expected in Daytona State College’s operating budget and a 10 percent drop of college-credit enrollment from last fall, the decline is, in part, due to federal financial aid becoming harder for students to get, requiring a higher grade point average and more community service hours per student.
Another contributor, says Tom LoBasso, Senior Vice President of Enrollment, is fewer high school graduates and therefore, less students for DSC to obtain. “Reserves are for reserves,” says Lewis, and with $7.6 million in DSC’s reserve funds, it is hoped that everything levels out by the end of December or the College will need to use that money to make up the difference. Enrollments are expected to rise after Oct. 24 when the fall B semester begins.
Looking towards future
That gives any student falling behind in their paper work additional time to get financial aid and enroll. Not forthcoming is money expected to be reimbursed from the Community Cultural Foundation, which DSC lent $1.5 million to fund last year’s American Music Festival. The College’s vice president, Brian Babb, says that CCF has an insurance policy covering $1 million, but with an estimated 90-day wait for the insurance provider to come through, the
story continues. Babb has decided to wait and see what the insurance company plans to do before moving ahead with any other plan to collect the money. A donation made to DSC by Mike Curb, a Nashville music-entrepreneur, is still in limbo as well. Curb gave DSC a property on Atlantic Avenue that originally was supposed to result in his having naming rights to a new building on the Daytona Campus. When DSC acquired the News-Journal Center on Beach Street, Curb’s name was instead going to be placed on an addition to that facility. Unfortunately, the College missed both the Sept. 1 deadline to get that done, as well as more than $9 million is state funds to cover the addition. Discussions are taking place between both parties’ attorneys for either extending the contract or creating a new one to solve the impediment. An attempt to have new DSC President Carol Eaton’s employment contract improved also came into question. Due to the state law change regarding severance for state employees, if Eaton is let go without cause before her three-years as president is up, she will only receive 20 weeks of severance. The board came together in earnest passion to amend the situation with Eaton’s contract, assuring her that problem would be fixed. The trend of half-completed work and disorienting information was apparent during the meeting. But for each setback a goal was formed to improve and create a better college. “It is most important,” says Eaton, “that as a group from the board members, to all the faculty and staff, people are thinking about looking ahead.”

Women’s fl at track Roller Derby has existed in its earliest forms since the Great Depression in the 1920’s. Couples competed in “endurance” skates for cash prizes, or a meal and cot. Entrepreneurs used derby from TV shows and selling used cars. They also changed the game by organizing it, adding football like tactics. Female athletes began organizing grass roots leagues. Taylor Johnson, 23 year old photography major with Daytona State College who dons spandex, fi shnets, wild makeup and an alter personality called “Sketchy”, is one of these roller derby daredevils. During the game, Taylor takes a jarring hit, sending her on her back with a bone crunching noise. The game goes on with no time out. A referee asks if an illegal elbow sent her down but, she doesn’t know. Teammates normally put a hit out on the offending player. Points are sacrifi ced for revenge as players foul against their target. This time, Taylor was hit by her own teammate. It’s the fi rst time her family has seen her play. She is worried the hit would cause her father to ask her to quit. Taylor says, “Later, I found out that when I fell right in front of my family my brother said he had to stop himself from getting up out of his chair to yell at the other player who knocked me down.” “My favorite part about roller derby is that when I am on my skates I feel unstoppable.” Taylor says, “Also, the friendships I’ve made through meeting people, especially my best friend, Jessy AKA Spikey Blows Whales.” Taylor has never received serious injuries. She has been knocked around hard, the impact of the injury leaving bruises. She has taken a blow three times in the face, twice on the jaw and once on the cheekbone. “When I watched my fi rst game I was amazed by how hard the girls would hit each other and that they could recover so quickly and get right back up and continue playing like nothing happened.” Since October 2010, Taylor has held position of blocker. She loves it because she can throw hits. Taylor says if she obtains a black eye, “I have something to show off.” With help of her roller derby family, Taylor has become the person she’s always wanted to be, “Someone who is confi dent and can take action in situations I would have normally felt uncomfortable in.”

The Falcon’s new Assistant Swim Coach, Caitlin Iversen, 23, is hoping to start this year’s season off right by making sure student athletes are happy and motivated to win. Having only been here a month, she is excited about coaching this year’s Men and Women’s swim teams. Her greatest ambition is to upset Indian River State College, Daytona State’s biggest rival, by defeating them in upcoming competitions. “It’s a great learning experience. I can see myself in them (student athletes). I see these people as my family now,” said Iverson, in regards to how she sees her experience so far at DSC. Hailing from Denver, Colo., Coach Iversen graduated from the University of Arizona at Tucson in December with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology. A swimmer since age three, Iversen began competing when she was eight years old. She competed in the 2008 Olympic Trials and was a semifi nalist, fi nishing 9th in the 200-meter backstroke. She also swam with her University of Arizona teammates to a NCAA Championship in 2008. On her to-do list, Coach Iversen wants to pursue a graduate degree in Sports
New assistant swim coach hoping to make a splashJeremy Dilts
In Motion Staff WriterManagement. She says she has found a great support system in the coaching staff at Daytona State College. In the beginning of September, after arriving here only in August, the coach was injured in a bicycling accident and hospitalized at Halifax Hospital. Although she was released the same day she was treated, Iversen was grateful for a visit by head swim coach Don Gibb in the hospital. “She is a good fi t, personality-wise with me,” said Gibb, who knew her coach at the University of Arizona, who gave her a glowing reference. Being welcomed by such open arms and concern is helping her adjust to the area. A natural athlete, the coach is interested in keeping in shape and plans on competing in a Sprint Triathlon next month. She also stays in shape by swimming three days a week, as well as running and cycling. The swimming season starts this month and student athletes are conditioning themselves Mondays through Fridays by swimming almost three hours a day, six days a week. Now that the season is starting, the team will move on to a morerigorous schedule of fi ve hours practice daily. Anyone interested in trying out for the Swim Team, can contact Coach Iversen at [email protected].
Brittany Fournier/ In MotionNCAA champion Caitlin Iverson is eager to share her experience with students at Daytona State as new assistant swim coach.

Poodle skirts, colorful headbands and a display showing a larger cell phone from the 1980s signified it was time for the Fourth Annual Resource Fair, hosted by the Daytona State College Women’s Center. This year’s theme was “It’s Never Too Late to Educate: Decades of Resources.” As such, showcased exhibits, each with a theme of a decade from 1950 to the 2000s, highlighted student resources on the DSC campus. Gina Stafford, coordinator of the fair, and program manager of the Women’s Center, said that the fair was to inform students of resources available at the College. Along with showing those services, the purpose of the fair was also to expose those “untapped” resources that most students know little or nothing about, such as the Financial Educators Federal Credit Union, Project SPEAK and S.T.E.M. Project SPEAK, which stands for Suicide Prevention Education and Knowledge, is a grant progam at Daytona State seeking to educate and raise awareness among students, faculty, and staff about suicide and suicide prevention. It’s fair exhibit was dressed up in the funky colors and hippie flowers that everyone knows as the 1960s. The Women’s Center was playing up the pinks and blues of the classic style of the 1950s. STEM, or Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Community Scholars Program, had a 1980s-themed table. STEM is designed to help students make it successfully through their Associates degrees and further into their Bachelor’s degree by smoothing students’ transition into college and encouraging them to make individual plans. Besides “untapped” resources, representatives from other academic schools within the college were on hand, as well, to showcase their disciplines. The School of Engineering Technology had an exhibit that represented

technology in the ’80s and how it has progressed into the new millennium. Other exhibits included the Cosmetology Department, College of Education and School of Adult Education. All together there were 26 displays, along with free popcorn made from an old-school popcorn machine, music and dancing. Many people from across the campus
and community turned out for the annual event. The Women’s Center, located in building 100, aims to help women who have previously been stay-at-home moms, are single parents, or need child care assistance. In recent years, it has expanded its Fresh Start progrms. Start programs include men re-entering college to find new career paths.

Juggling classes, jobs and family can be a challenge for even the most adept students. John Allison, 31, has the added challenge of being deaf. Allison was considered hard of hearing until age 15 and it progressively worsened over the years. He eventually decided to pursue a college degree from Daytona State College and got his AA in general education over the summer. He is now enrolled in the bachelor’s program at DSC, with the goal of pursuing a degree in education. Since arriving at DSC, Allison and other students felt a lack of awareness about deaf culture throughout the College and the community. Student Maria Sheltra was the fi rst to raise awareness and get a petition for an American Sign Language club to be formed. As the fi rst elected president of the organization, Allison eagerly plans to meet many of the challenges of stereotypes concerning deaf people, as well as a lack of resources. Over the last three years, there has been a signifi cant increase in students’ interest in American Sign Language. From 2009 to 2011, the college has gone from having one professor teaching ASL to seven. There are 578 students currently enrolled in ASL classes this semester. Allison believes the increase in ASL popularity shows that there is an unsatisfi ed need throughout the community. “The demand is high in Volusia County for interpreters and deaf education awareness, sometimes the supply does not meet the demand,” he said. Allison’s ultimate goal for the ASL club is to get Daytona State College active in the local deaf community, allowing residents to use the ASL Club as an invaluable resource. There are many plans in the works for the ASL Club to help support the community. One such event is a “Sign and Dine,” where participants go to a restaurant to enjoy a silent dinner communicating only in sign language. Ten percent of every check would go to the charity of the ASL Club’s choice. Allison also wants to collaborate with the Greater Daytona Beach Association of the Deaf, known as GDBAD, by getting the ASL Club to help run a card

game night. Matthew Husbands, the vice president of the ASL Club, believes the gap between the hearing and deaf world can help be bridged by bringing awareness to hearing people. He says most hearing people are ignorant towards deaf culture, due to a lack of education and contact with people who have hearing loss.
His biggest hurdle as a deaf student at DSC, says Allison, is faculty. “Most of these teachers don’t know how to act around deaf students. They don’t have the information or education of what to do when a deaf student comes into their classroom,” he says, adding that he does not blame the teachers. To him, awareness could solve many of the academic problems facing deaf students. Simply giving a faculty member a Student Disability form does not always guarantee they will remember to accommodate such needs. For example, Allison largely relies on lip reading to understand what instructors are saying, but many talk to the board while lecturing, making it impossible for him to understand. He hopes that in the future the ASL Club can properly prepare and educate teachers on how to appropriately interact with deaf students. “Teachers may see one deaf student in their class and go the rest of their careers without seeing another one. It’s what you did to that one student that makes a difference. If you ignored them or talked to the board or did not provide them with accommodations to help them stay on the same level as the rest of the students, you’re discouraging that one student,” he says. “That one student is going to go to their tight community and tell everyone what is going on. If that one person has 1,000 people in their community, you have a 1,000 people who automatically have an opinion (against that instructor), and it is hard to break an opinion,” he said. Allison optimistically looks forward to changes that can be accomplished at Daytona State College and throughout the community. He strongly encourages those looking for a direction in their life, to check out ASL classes and get involved in the community. Newcomers to ASL will be amazed that the language goes beyond signs, he says, teaching body language and how to read facial structure. According to nonverbal psychologist Paul Ekman, facial muscles are capable of producing 43 movements, which in turn create 10,000 different expressions. “It’s a language that you use every part of your body to communicate with somebody else. It is the most beautiful way to communicate as far as I’m concerned,” he says.
Sign language reaches out to community

This semester the Southeast Museum of Photography opened one of the most anticipated exhibits of the fall, “In The Light of Darkness” by the award-winning photojournalist, Kate Brooks. The opening of the exhibit included an artist talk and panel discussion with Brooks and former Photo Director for TIME Magazine, Maryanne Golon, for whom Brooks worked under for a period of time. After the discussion, guests were welcome to a book signing of Brooks’s most recent publication, “In The Light of Darkness: A Photographer’s Journey after 9/11.” The book contains all the photos displayed in the exhibit along with a series of personal essays. This exhibit contains numerous amounts of photos taken by Brooks within ten years time from the date of the terrorist attacks on 9/11. Yet, what separates Brooks’ photos from the ones taken here in the U.S on and after that fateful day in history was her bravery and perspective. Her assignments would take her all over the middle east to educate viewers on the major conflicts throughout the world in the past decade. With photos being taken in the mountains of Tora Bora immediately preceding the 9/11 attacks all the way up to the most recent war in Lebanon, Brooks made her
way through one disastrous situation after another, never putting her camera down. “Unless someone tells me I can’t take a picture, I will keep taking them. I felt I needed to take the pictures. I felt I needed to show others what is going on where I am”, says Brooks. Brooks was a Russian Studies student in the former Soviet union when she decided to leave school at the age of 20. Her decision to leave school was based on the fact she
wanted to be a freelance photographer full time. Not long after she left school, the terrorist attacks had happened in the U.S, and Brooks’ first thought was to head to Afghanistan. She moved to Pakistan to photograph post-Taliban Afghanistan, and U.S foreign policy in the region. Brooks started photographing for TIME soon after the 2003 U.S invasion of Iraq and ever since has been photographing conflicts and violence in civilian life throughout
countries such as Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Lebanon. Carrying multiple pounds of camera equipment and facing dangerous situations started to become a part of everyday life for Brooks. From being held captive to bus bombs the photographer says, “I find myself very lucky to be where I am today.” To go with her photos, Brooks designed a series of essays. She logged about her perilous journey through each assignment and one dangerous situation after another. Brooks eventually combined her photos with endless amounts of personal entries and made her book. “I hope my photographs and my book portray what really happened, convey my experience and educate people. If people find they have developed compassion for those civilians in these warring countries then I have accomplished my job.” explains Brooks. Brooks currently resides in Istanbul, Turkey and continues to photograph international conflict with her most recent trips being throughout various regions in Africa. She remains enthusiastic about her work and offers words of advice to young photojournalists, “You don’t have to travel to find a story because the U.S has so much going on now a days, but be prepared to work hard because if it was easy everyone would be doing it.” The exhibit will be open until Dec. 16 and more information on days and time can be found at http://www.smponline.org/index.html

It is that time of year again, the air of fall is present, apple cider and candy corn fill the shelves of Wal-mart, and Halloween Horror Nights re-opens to the spook anxious public. The reign of nightly terror began on the 23rd of Sept. at Universal Studios in Orlando, and will continue to run on select nights until Oct. 31. Featuring Lady Luck as the monstrous inspiration behind this year’s horrifying mayhem, guests will have the opportunity to take the terrifying trek through six scare zones and eight haunted houses, as well as be the victims of two of Universal’s Halloween shows. Attractions include encounters with fiendish ghouls, acidic inflicted townspeople, strolls through a spirit-infested graveyard, face-to-face confrontations with the bitter manifestations of a forsaken ship crew, and much more. Every year, Universal Studios attempts to create the most terrifying experience yet, and this year promises to be a creepy crowd pleaser with Amusement Today titling Halloween Horror Nights for the fourth time in row as the “country’s best Halloween event.” More information concerning Halloween Horror Nights and all that is has to offer can be found on Universal Studio’s website. The fright fest begins at 6:30 pm, when darkness begins to fall. It is recommended that anyone interested in attending Horror Nights purchases their tickets in advance, due to the fame of the event. Do not miss out on the most intense scare experience of the Halloween season!
