AAPSU’s Student Government Association held its annual Halloween event “Great Halloween Options for Safe Trick or Treating” Sunday, Oct. 30.

G.H.O.S.T. serves as a safe trick-or-treating alternative for the children of Clarksville. G.H.O.S.T. was packed with trick-or-treaters of all ages, with a variety of activities, candy and costumes on display.

Cady Denton, SGA vice president, served as the coordinator for G.H.O.S.T. alongside SGA adviser and dean of students Gregory Singleton, as well as the SGA Executive Board and

other members.“Without continued participation from student

groups and their interest in community outreach, the event simply would not be the success it is,” Denton said.

� is year, 75 student groups registered for total of 96 tables for the event, Denton said. � e event had also been advertised in � e Leaf Chronicle , online and at local schools and daycare centers.

� e tables were spread out through the center of campus.

Looking to repeat last year’s success, activities at this year’s G.H.O.S.T. included face painting, trivia, “haunted’” attractions and lots of candy,

A new “University Master Plan” for the renovation and reconditioning of APSU’s campus is in the planning phase.

According to the current Master Plan, APSU has many long-standing structures in need of revamping and an overall organizational fl ow that doesn’t work with it’s growing enrollment numbers.

The idea behind the Master Plan is to make APSU a public institution with many “private” features. Ideas include a more powerful gateway entrance, so as not to confuse visitors and a pedestrian connection to downtown Clarksville and Riverfront.

� e plan also aims to create a village-like atmosphere more inviting to conversation and group activities.

One of the ideas included in the plan is an additional plaza for student gathering. Currently, APSU has one plaza in the center of campus, across from the MUC, designated for student assembly. It is often overcrowded and seating is hard to fi nd.

“One student gathering space currently

being considered is between the Hemlock Semiconductor Building and the new Math and Computer Science building,” said Mitch Robinson, vice president of Finance and Administration. “Other ideas will certainly be explored once the designer begins the planning process.”

“� e fi rst academic priority will remain as it has for that last 10 or so years, renovation and addition to our Trahern building,” Robinson said.

Parking seems to be a main concern for many students, especially commuters. As enrollment continues to grow, the university will require increased parking in the future. According to Robinson, there is ample parking for the number of students enrolled, but the new Master Plan will include a parking analysis.

Although the plan is in its beginning stages, a general layout and schedule is already in the works.

When students hear about major renovations, one of the first concerns is a rise in tuition. According to Alvin

UNIVERSITY MASTER PLAN #APDEBATEFORUM

8th annual AP Debate Forum to showcase student opinions By MORGAN SMITH

msmith156@my.apsu.edu

The 8th annual AP Debate Forum sponsored by the Department of Communication will be held from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 2, in the Music and Mass Communication Concert Hall.

Each year the department raises a question or issue relevant to both the students and Clarksville community to engage students in a public discussion.

This year’s topic is whether or not American citizens should be required to complete at least two years of military service after reaching the age of 18 or graduating from high school.

“The purpose of the AP Debate Forum is to provide an opportunity for students taking public speaking to practice the skills they are learning in class in a real life setting,” said Stacie Mumpower, communications instructor and public speaking coordinator.

� e annual AP Debate Forum is a popular event each year. “We see between 300 and 400 in attendees each year,” Mumpower said. “Some of the attendees are from around campus and in the community as well.” Many of the faculty who teach public speaking courses also attend to see their students in action.

“I admire anyone who can get up in front of a large or small group of people and speak. It takes guts to do and a lot of people don’t realize how much confidence it takes to

do it until they’re faced with it themselves,” said Angel Lopez, a U.S. Army soldier and freshman at APSU.

The Debate Forum aids in helping students to see the value of public speaking.

“It’s so important to know how to speak in public well,” said Whitney Beaird, student and Resident Assistant at Sevier Hall. “Public speaking comes in handy for most fi elds, if not all fields, because you are constantly going to be speaking to people. If you cannot speak properly and confidently investors won’t work with you, employers won’t hire you and you’ll likely never move up to where you want to be.”

The Department of Communication invites all students to take part in the forum. For the fi rst time they’re utilizing Facebook and Twitter to involve the audience and students in the debate.

“The Department of Communication Chair, Mike Gotcher, actually came up with the original idea to use social media so audience members could submit questions the debaters and audience speakers would answer,” Mumpower said. “It is a departure from the previous format of the debate, and I think it will be a lively event as a result.”

During the debate the audience can ask questions to the debaters via Facebook and Twitter, and also give real-time feedback.

Students are encouraged to like “AP Debate Forum” on Facebook and follow “#apdebateforum” on Twitter before the event. TAS

Denton said. One of the most unique groups was Phi

Kappa Phi’s “Candy for the Mind” children’s book giveaway table.

“Each kid gets one free book,” said member Callie Hedges. “This is really for more underprivileged kids and their learning and development. It’s something in addition to having fun and getting candy on Halloween.”

This is Hedges’ first year helping out Phi Kappa Phi, as the previous three years she helped the International Student Organization.

“It’s defi nitely a diff erent perspective working this table,” Hedges said.

In a similar vein, the Physics and Chemistry Club had a “Grimm’s Fairy Tale” castle, complete with Rapunzel. “We’ve got the castle, and we’re all dressed as fairy tale characters too,” said member Robert Baker. “Each year we try to have a theme. Last year, it was classic 8-bit videogame characters.”

� e Tri-Beta Biology Honors Society took up the videogame reigns this year. “We have

the inflatable Super Mario Bros. castle,” said member Krystle Irizarri. “We’ve got people dressed as characters and the music playing. � ere’s a lot of kids here tonight, and it always seems to go by really fast.”

Also onboard for the festivities was the three-group teamwork effort of Delta Tau Alpha, CCSC and the AG/Pre-Vet Club.

“This year, we all joined together to make a haunted tunnel,” said DTA member Tracee Gruskiewicz. “It’s difficult to do because we want to have it be scary, but also appropriate for kids. I do like that G.H.O.S.T. is during the day, it’s much safer for the kids.”

G.H.O.S.T. began in 1996 as a program originally meant for the children of APSU students, faculty and staff .

It quickly grew and, in recent years, has attracted more than 2,000 people from the campus community and surrounding areas.

It has become one of the SGA’s signature events.

The city of Clarksville itself has no input regarding planning or running the event.

“It is an APSU tradition in which we reach out and welcome community children and their parents,” Denton said. TAS

Westerman, director of Facilities Planning and Projects, the renovations considered in the Master Plan “would not have a direct impact on tuition costs.”

“If [there are] going to be renovations done on campus, I think the first step should be to get the opinion of the students who attend the university. We go here everyday and most of us have pretty strong opinions about what could be changed or upgraded,” said junior Cara Chamberlain.

Robinson said student opinions and suggestions will be considered.

“� ere will be student representation on the Master Plan Committee, as well as opportunities for student input during the planning process. Most of those details will be worked out with the designer and university,” Robinson said.

Westerman added, “Once the Master Plan has been reviewed and endorsed by the president, it will certainly be released by publishing it on the university website.”

Westerman also notes the current plan is already out for review and those in charge “eagerly await” the input of students. Anyone interested in viewing the preliminary ideas for the Master Plan can go to www.apsu.edu/fi les/space-allocation/MasterPlan_2007.pdf TAS

Tennessee agrees to stop arresting Occupy protesters ASSOCIATED PRESS

Nashville, Tenn. — Tennessee officials agreed Monday, Oct. 31, to stop enforcing a new curfew used to dislodge Occupy Nashville protesters from the grounds around the Capitol.

� e protesters went to federal court seeking a temporary restraining order against Gov. Bill Haslam, arguing the curfew and arrests of dozens of supporters violated their rights to free speech and freedom of assembly.

State Attorney General’s Office Senior Counsel Bill Marett announced at the beginning of a hearing before Judge Aleta Trauger that the state would not fi ght eff orts to halt the policy.

The judge said she had already decided to grant the restraining order because the curfew was a “clear prior restraint on free

speech rights.”“I can’t think of a more quintessential public

forum than Legislative Plaza,” Trauger said.State troopers used the curfew put into place

on � ursday to arrest 29 protesters early Friday and 26 people early Saturday.

Both times a Nashville magistrate refused to jail the protesters, saying the state didn’t have probable cause to arrest them. � ey were released with citations.

� e Nashville protesters are part of the six-week-old Occupy movement, which began in lower Manhattan to decry corporate infl uence in government and wealth inequality.

“� is is a huge victory for us because Gov. Haslam has realized the mistake that he made,” Occupy Nashville protester Steve Reiter said.

� e two sides have until Nov. 21 to reach an agreement or go back to court for a hearing on a preliminary injunction. TAS

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise there of; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” — First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution

“I’ve lived below the poverty line. My wife and I decided in 1996 that we were sick of poverty. We went back to school. We got jobs. No one handed that to us. “We earned it. We did it. I didn’t go through all that struggle while raising three children so that I could support lazy-ass people who want nothing but government handouts. You want to ‘occupy something?’ Occupy a job and start contributing. I AM the 53 percent,” said Frank Decker.� ese messages, along with others, are popping up on blogging websites such as Tumblr, Twitter and 9gag in response to the Occupy Wall Street movement. � eir stories of hardship make a statement that leaves no room for interpretation. � ey are not the 99 percent and they have no intentions of becoming a part of it. � ey are also insulted that ‘occupiers’ would call themselves the 99 percent in representation of everyone who falls below the title of extreme wealth — or the one percent of our nation’s citizens who hold most of the country’s wealth.� ey call themselves the 53 percent. � ey chose this title based on the fact only 53 percent of Americans pay their federal taxes.

� ey don’t believe in government handouts or that their tax money should go to welfare, and they don’t believe the members of Occupy Wall Street are justifi ed in their protest. � ey do believe supporters of Occupy Wall Street lack personal responsibility for their own fi nancial mistakes. In many ways, they’re right. However, if they knew the true motives behind the movement, they would be less apt to generate such hate toward it. For anyone who does research about Occupy Wall Street, it has a real message, but it’s overshadowed by its abundance of bandwagon followers. � ese followers are ignorant to its original message, which in turn gives people like Frank Decker the wrong impression of the movement.Many people already know Occupy Wall Street has no legitimate direction yet. � ey’re a disorganized group, with many individual goals, making it hard to present their objective.

However, despite their lack of leadership and structure, most protesters have good reasons to be upset.� e 53 percent base their disdain for the Occupy proteters on the assumption the protesters feel the government is failing to support them fi nancially and it is not working hard enough.

While this may be the agenda on some people’s minds, this is not true for more than half of the protesters. According to fastcompany.com, a study by business analyst Harrison Schultz and professor Hector R. Cordero-Guzman of the Baruch College School of Public Aff airs found half of the 1,619 protesters polled have full-time jobs and 20 percent work part-time. A lot of these people lead responsible lives and acknowledge our government and corporative systems as being faulty.According to the Occupy offi cial Facebook page, the biggest medium for Occupy’s voice, most of the Occupiers’ goals include seeing less corporation infl uence in government as well as more moral and legal responsibility from corporations for their actions. � ey are also concerned with the growing gap between the more privileged classes and the middle to lower classes. � ese people have had their homes taken away from them by illegal practices and fi nd shame in corporate ability to accept bailout money and then use it for material purposes. � e Occupy Wall Street movement, no matter how disorganized it may be, is not about how much money people can squeeze out of their government or how great the jobs the government can produce for us should be. Perhaps for all those bandwagon riders out there this is the case. For those who are serious about it, this is about seeing a necessary change. Our government has agreed that the change is needed, and yet it is refusing to put forth the eff ort to produce.

Perhaps if the 53 percent did their homework, they would fi nd themselves a part of a much larger percentage. TAS

STRANGE HEADLINES

By CONOR SCRUTONcscruton@my.apsu.edu

As part of Homecoming festivities, the Govs Programming Council held its annual AP Apollo talent show on Wednesday, Oct. 26, in the Red Barn. Contestants have less than six minutes to show they have what it takes to win the $500 fi rst-place prize. � is year’s show had 34 acts, with performers off ering musical numbers to clogging and comedy sketches.

Nikki Talley took fi rst place with her a capella rendition of Lauren Hill’s “Killing Me Softly.” When asked how it felt to win AP Apollo, Talley said, “It feels kind of unreal ... and $500 is a lot of money.”

� e second place winner of $200 was Molly Swiatek, who sang Adele’s “One and Only,” accompanied by Aric Marine on keyboard. � e $50, third-place prize was awarded to Madeline Kiser for her show-closing performance of Reba McEntire’s song “Why Haven’t I Heard from You.”

After Kiser fi nished performing, the AP Pom Squad performed a dance routine while the judges chose the three fi nalists, who were to be placed later through the audience’s applause.

� e contest was judged by Carrie Harris, Kim Morrow and Gregory Singleton. “It was diffi cult, but we [came to] a consensus,” Morrow said.

After the fi nalists were brought back onstage, the applause for each performer was thunderous, but there was no mistaking who their favorite act had been. “I’m really glad Nikki won,” said freshman Emily � omas. “You could tell everyone was rooting for her.”

Second-place winner Swiatek recalled the shared anticipation among the contestants backstage. “Everybody wanted to listen to everybody,” she said. “A lot of us have become close friends.”

� e event has seen a major increase in acts since last year, from about 17 to 34 this year. � e increase created more competition, but also allowed for a more shared experience.

“I always have a good time on stage,” said Dalton Akins, who performed a clogging/swing dancing number with partner Crystal Gordon. Singer Sara Groves said, “It’s super fun. You can be whoever you want to be on stage.”

AP Apollo was open to all students and the Clarksville Community. For any APSU students interested in showing their talents, it’s never too early to start preparing for next year’s show. TAS

Percussion Ensemble feature Voodoo, ‘Fantasia’ musical sets By LORI PERKINS

lperkins@my.apsu.edu

The Halloween Percussion Ensemble was performed on Friday, Oct. 28., in the MMC. The concert featured David Steinquest, professor of percussion, along with musicians who played tambourine, xylophone, drums and more.

� e event featured Voodoo themed songs and musical sets from “� e Illusionist” and the Disney classic “Fantasia,” which was displayed on a screen as the musicians played along.

President Tim Hall also celebrated his birthday and greeted guests before the show. “I’m expecting the same wonderful show. � is is one of the best performances of the school year. I have my wife and daughter as my dates.”

In 1985, David Steinquest started a small, comedy/concert act where musicians would play percussion instruments. Back then, the audience had to wear a costume.

Now, 26 years later, costumes are not mandatory and the event has grown into two shows, so everyone can attend. Every

year a new act is performed, and every year the concert is sold out.

The auditorium was filled to capacity with APSU students, faculty, staff and Clarksville community members, many wore costumes.

Steinquest dressed up as a long, gray-haired wizard who conducted the musicians, and interacted with the audience along with his assistant.

A popular act this year was the “Harry Potter” themed performance. “I think I try to make it fun and interactive,” Steinquest said.

In between acts, as the musicians changed the positions of the instruments, the wizard and his “assistant” humored the crowd with silly magic tricks.

For Erica Smith, it was her first performance in the ensemble. “It’s cool when we interact with the audience and to see the kids’ face[s].”

All of the musicians wore costumes and the auditorium was fully decorated in Halloween fashion.

The mood was colorful, the sounds were melodic and the enthusiasm of the

performers thrilled the crowd and left them in awe. “I absolutely loved it. It was

amazing, I would see it any day,” said student Jessica Imler. TAS

Panthers claw GovernorsEastern Illinois steals Homecoming game victory with 19-10 win, Ryan

White completes his second 100-yard running game By MARLON SCOTT

For the fi rst 15 minutes, everything went the Govs way. � ey won the coin toss. � ey marched down the fi eld and scored on their fi rst

two off ensive possessions. � ey dominated the time of possession, controlling the ball for 12:41 of the fi rst 15 minutes and did not commit any turnovers.

However, the game continued after the fi rst 15 minutes and instead of a happy homecoming, the EIU Panthers’ dealt the Govs their fourth loss in a row, 19-10.

� e loss drops the Govs (2-6, 2-4 OVC) to seventh in the OVC. It was the Panthers (2-7, 1-6 OVC) fi rst conference win of the season.

Freshman quarterback Landon Curtis got his fi rst start of the season in front of more than 5,000 people. He didn’t turn the ball over, but did not throw any touchdowns either. Curtis completed 14-of-30 passes for 111 yards.

“I thought I played pretty good, took what the defense gave me,” Curtis said. “Other than that we just didn’t make the big plays when we needed to.”

Curtis was assisted by a solid running game. � e Govs’ out-rushed the Panthers 215 to 181 yards. Senior running back Ryan White led the way with 23 carries for 115 yards and a touchdown. Junior running back Wesley Kitts added 86 yards on 11 carries.

White’s touchdown was the Govs’ only touchdown of the game. � e 8-yard

power run to the end zone came at the end of the Govs’ fi rst off ensive-drive. � e Govs’ only other score was a 21-yard fi eld goal kicked by kicker Stephen Stansell.

“Landon Curtis played a good football game. He had four or fi ve drops. If those are caught, he has a couple of TDs and goes around 18-of-30 with no fumbles or interceptions,” head coach Rick Christophel said. “Ryan White and Wes Kitts rushed the ball well. � is game came down to fi eld position. With a freshman quarterback throwing the ball 30 times, we ran into trouble. He had a good football game, but we didn’t help him out enough.”

� e Panthers’ produced only nine yards of off ense in the fi rst quarter, but they pounced in the second.

Panther’s sophomore quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo launched a 52-yard bomb to junior receiver Chris Wright for their fi rst score at 11:11 in the second quarter.

Garoppolo threw another 34-yard missile to freshman tight end Sam Hendricks that set up a two-yard touchdown run by running back Jake Walker.

“We’ve got to start getting the wins,” Curtis said. “When we keep it close like that, we’ve got to get wins because it’s heartbreaking to go out there and work so hard every week, then come out here and lose like this, especially during a homecoming game.”

� e Govs’ next opportunity to win will be at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5, in their last home game against Central State. TAS

Last home Football game this Saturday at 1 p.m. against Central State

By AARON FORSGRENaforsgren@my.apsu.edu

If there is one thing that is not hard to fi nd at APSU, it is school pride and spirit. You can fi nd it anywhere you look, especially on a Saturday during a home football game. � is is especially true when you bring up the Governor’s Own Marching Band which adds to that the background and thrill of Homecoming week.

� e Governor’s Own Marching Band is under the direction of professor John Schnettler, director of

athletic bands at APSU, and he is all about getting the fans and the football team into the fi ghting spirit.

� eir number one tool to pump up the crowd and team is cooperation. “We coordinate everything we do with the cheerleaders and pom squad. So during cheers and chants, we are doing it together at the same time,” said Schnettler.

Besides the band director, the band also has three equally important fi eld commanders Johnny Tubbs, Katie Wells and Nicole Shrembek.

Shrembek said, “It’s just the energy they bring to the fi eld and their overall pep. When they get peppy,

I get peppy and vice versa.” The band has a core of school pride and spirit,

and in the case of a sporting event, especially a homecoming game, it spills over to the team and crowd and brings it together to make the experience of Govs’ football games worthwhile. Wells said, “I always try and get them hyped from a big smile.”

� ey will be performing their halftime show again one last time this Saturday, Nov. 5, for their final Govs’ home game as they take on the Central State University Marauder’s at Governor’s Stadium. TAS
