The CRWC locker on Sept. 24, 2024 | Raphael Fernandez/The Cougar

The Campus Recreation and Wellness Center has many rules and regulations to provide a safe space for students to work out. 

However, one of these rules has caused students issues, making it hard for them to carry on with a workout most days. 

“Sometimes, I will pull up to the Rec with my backpack, and I will forget that I have to put it in a locker, but they remind me, which is completely understandable,” said economics freshman Roman Widjaja. “I get why you have to put it in the locker, but sometimes these lockers will not open with the code I put in.” 

It is prohibited to leave personal belongings, backpacks or bags unsecured in activity areas, according to the Rec’s facility policies.

This rule was put in place for the safety of the student’s personal belongings while they work out in the facility. 

However, due to the functionality of the locks and their condition,  students are sometimes not able to find or use an open locker.

“Honestly, it’s really frustrating, I feel like I get to the gym and they’re already locked or have a code put in.” said marketing graduate and CRWC patron Bergen Goldsmith. “I’m afraid that my stuff is going to get stolen.”

The facility workers are aware of the issues involving the lockers and are actively trying to rectify them to make the experience for users more comfortable.

A QR code is posted beside the lockers to help inform the facility of any locker issues, and students can go right up to the desk if they need assistance.

“Just come to the fitness desk or if you’re even unsure how to use the lockers, if you’re looking for the instructions because they’re confusing, we’ll be more than happy to help at the fitness desk,” said kinesiology junior and CRWC fitness supervisor Alexander Ruiz. 

However, another issue that students have brought up is the protocol for when students forget which locker they use. Students get three chances to have a staff member open their locker without penalty but once those three chances are up, they’ll have to wait until 11:30 p.m. to get their items. 

“I don’t know, three strike rule sounds just ridiculous and a major inconvenience,” Goldsmith said. 

The idea of waiting so long keeps these students on edge about losing their items because they were put into a locker.

Students would rather have a different approach to the system and suggest some ways that could be more effective and efficient.

“If you can, just give a valid reason or valid proof that this is the stuff in your locker, then they should be very understanding,” Widjaja said. “As college students we have a lot to do, we have busy schedules, you know we need our stuff. We should not have to wait.” 

Whether or not the locker system will be altered in the future is uncertain. As for now, students will have to abide by the rules of the CRWC as they are.

The Boston University Student Government held its first meeting of the fall 2024 semester, where they presented initiatives for the 2024-25 school year and confirmed the vice chair, cabinet, committee and judicial members. Student Body President Akwasi Antwi said he plans to present a bill at next week’s meeting that will prompt StuGov to vote to release a statement expressing concern about BU’s lessening diversity.  BU’s Black first-year student enrollment fell from 9% to 3% this year. The decline follows the United States Supreme Court’s 2023 decision to overturn affirmative action, or the consideration of race, in college admissions. “Diversity […]

YouTube, originally created in 2005, has lived many lives in its almost two decades of existence. Short form media used to call YouTube its home but has been taken over by TikTok and various social media platforms. 

YouTubers, the original “influencers,” are an endangered species as TikTokers’ empire grows everyday.

YouTubers Are Neglecting YouTube

Content creators that originally rose to fame on YouTube are becoming more and more absent from the platform. 

In 2021, YouTube superstar Emma Chamberlain went on a six month hiatus from the platform. Viewers eagerly awaited her return to the app as she ventured on other avenues such as her coffee company Chamberlain Coffee, and conducted interviews at the Met Gala.

Alisha Marie, an original YouTuber, who rose to fame from her DIY and back-to-school content, has posted more and more infrequently. Marie has endeavors outside of YouTube now such as her podcast with co-host, Remi Cruz, “Pretty Basic.”

It appears that YouTube has become a stepping stone for content creators to build up their businesses or other social media followings. Being a YouTuber used to mean posting a video every week like clockwork, but now it means “Sometimes I’ll post, but you should follow me on my other platforms.”

YouTube Playing Catch Up

In March 2021, YouTube released YouTube shorts to the United States users, in an attempt to mimic platforms like TikTok, which was gaining in popularity.

Creators have utilized this tool in addition to their long form videos, but TikTok’s appeal to a young audience cannot be denied.

Since 2019, TikTok’s average daily screen time spent on the app has almost doubled. TikTok’s engagement rate of 18% is higher than YouTube’s standing at 1.63%.

TikTok also hasn’t made it any easier for YouTube to compete by adding longer videos to their catalog of content options. In 2022, TikTok allowed users to upload videos up to 10 minutes long, previously only allowing about 15 seconds to three minutes of content.

This added feature has given TikTok a leg up on YouTube, now allowing all lengths of videos, but still maintaining its addicting algorithm that has its audience hooked.

TikTok’s explore page allows users to have a curated feed that keeps viewers coming back. The algorithm analyzes almost every move the user makes, and uses that data to simulate a more engaging feed. A combination of likes, follows, comments and duration of time spent on a video are considered for this algorithm, and is what makes TikTok so engaging for its audience.

It’s not that people don’t want to use YouTube anymore, it’s that when a user wants to watch a 15-second clip and doom scroll for hours, YouTube is not the first choice.

Does This Mean YouTube Is Dead?

YouTube has solidified its place in the media realm for video sharing, but its brand is changing. The platform is useful for background noise and a quick video on “how to fix this thing on my car,” but it’s lost its appeal to an audience with a shortened attention span.

The post Rest In Peace To Youtube first appeared on The Daily Utah Chronicle.

A new University of Minnesota publication has entered the scene this semester with a unique focus on the art form of manga, or comics and graphic novels from Japan.

Minnesota Manga, which is now available at The Book House in Dinkytown, brings to life the passions of its creators and contributors in the form of a soft cover booklet magazine and a glimmery-eyed Babe the Blue Ox logo promising to “add that manga touch to anyone’s back to school experience!”

Gideon Lundin, a university junior and the founder and editor-in-chief of Minnesota Manga, has been reading manga since middle school.

The first manga he read was “One Piece,” and he said he has read most of the 109 volumes. Lundin’s fascination with manga inspired him to start his own manga magazine.

“The style was just so whimsical and fantastical,” Lundin said. “Manga feels so unlike other comics that are one step behind in terms of making things feel special.”

Lundin said his goal is to make Minnesota Manga as ubiquitous as the weekly issues found in grocery stores across Japan.

Lundin contrasted manga with American comic books that he said have been monopolized by Marvel and DC.

“American comic books focus so much on superheroes,” he said. “Manga is more cinematic, and artists have more authority over what they make, so there’s more creativity.”

Lundin’s close friend Dietrich Atienza, a junior at the University of Northwestern-St. Paul (UNW), recalled Lundin noticing him reading manga in middle school and the two sparked a bond over their shared passion.

Atienza said his father, “a manga and anime nerd” himself, immersed him in manga classics such as “One-Punch Man” and “Attack on Titan.”

Atienza is now “almost like a salesman” for Minnesota Manga at UNW.

Atienza said he wanted to help Lundin with his passion project before he even asked for his help.

“He’s one of my closest friends, and my goal is to help him make his dream a reality,” Atienza said.

Minnesota Manga has been years in the making for Lundin. He said the biggest challenge was finding local mangakas, or manga creators.

“Not many people understand how long it takes to make manga,” Lundin said.

Lundin’s manga in the Fall 2024 issue, “GoGo Ninja,” is a “Naruto”-inspired one-shot, or standalone story, that has been in the works since the beginning of COVID-19.

“I spent way more time on the art than the writing, which I’m not super happy about, but it was good enough for me to put in the magazine,” Lundin said.

Lundin recruited two other artists for the fall issue and hopes to find more via social media and exposure through physical sales.

One of the artists featured in this current issue is Karina Herrera-Cavazos, also a junior at the University of Minnesota, whose one-shot “Don’t Smoke on Campus” expands on an anti-smoking PSA she made for a psychology class.

“I’ve always liked drawing comics, and keeping campus smoke-free is something I’m passionate about,” Herrera-Cavazos said.

While her comics aren’t directly inspired by manga, Herrera-Cavazos said she has enjoyed reading mangas like “My Hero Academia” and “Zatch Bell!”

Herrera-Cavazos said she has been wanting to put her art out there and plans on submitting it to Minnesota Manga’s next issue, which is planned for spring semester.

“It’s crazy to actually see and touch the magazine,” Herrera-Cavazos said. “I want it to become more established, and I want more people to know about this publication.”

Though Lundin, Atienza and Herrera-Cavazos all have limited time left in their college careers, they all expressed hopes that Minnesota Manga will take off in that time.

Schooner Classic

The Houston women’s golf team won their second team championship under head coach Lydia Lasprilla in the Schooner Classic on Sept. 23.  The Cougars competed in a three-day tournament at Belmar Golf Club in Norman, Okla.

The Cougars posted a five-stroke under-par round to surpass Auburn and win first place in the Schooner Classic.

“This could be the biggest win in program history,” Lasprilla said. “I thought we did the little things well and stayed disciplined, which put us in a position to win.”

Lasprilla credited the tournament’s success to preparation. “We try to replicate the golf course as best as possible. This weekend showed that our practice paid off,” Lasprilla said.

Houston’s junior Natalie Saint Germain finished four strokes under par and ended the tournament in a three-way tie for fifth place. She is no stranger to success in this tournament. In 2022, she broke an 18-hole school record by shooting a 64 in the final round.

“I really love this course. It is super fun,” Saint Germain said. “It was also super challenging, but I always love coming to play here.”

After round one, Saint Germain finished one stroke under par, which tied Houston’s sophomore Maelynn Kim. Freshman Annika Ishiyama led the Cougars in round one by finishing two strokes under par.

This team effort put the Cougars in second place to begin the second round. Round two began early Sunday morning but was suspended due to rain. The players and coaches waited for hours until there was an announcement that the tournament would be reduced to only two rounds, which made the stakes much higher for the final round on Monday.

“I just tried to stay mentally present even though it was hard to wait,” Saint Germain said.

The final round began early on Monday morning. The conditions on the course were much better than expected. The Cougars finished nine under par for the tournament to win the Schooner Classic.

“The first day I was just trying to make as many pars as possible because it was pretty windy. In the last round it wasn’t as windy, and the conditions were much better. There were several more chances to score so I could play more confidently,” Saint Germain said.

Under the development of Lasprilla and assistant head coach Daniel Park, Saint Germain has improved significantly. “This is her third year here, and she has developed very well,” Lasprilla said. “I’m very proud of her performance.”

History of the Schooner Classic

The Schooner Classic was first played in 2018. The famous country singer Toby Keith and his wife organized the tournament. Keith was known for his love for his state and college sports, with golf being one of his favorites.  

The tournament was organized to allow collegiate golfers to compete in a pro-style environment while giving all the proceeds to nonprofit organizations. It was the first-ever golf tournament in Oklahoma to be played solely to benefit charity.

While many nonprofits benefit from this tournament, most of the money is donated to the Toby Keith Foundation. Its mission is to encourage pediatric cancer patients’ health and happiness and support OK Kids Korral. The foundation has helped children with cancer since 2006 and has streamlined its efforts around no-cost housing for children with cancer.

In an overview of the tournament, Keith’s wife, Tricia Covel, wrote, “The Schooner Fall Classic is different than other tournaments as we make a point to introduce each team to our community work at the Toby Keith Foundation’s OK Kids Koral. The players and coaches will meet families who are battling cancer. They will see firsthand that you can use your talent to benefit others.”

Keith passed away on Feb. 5, 2024. His wife continues to run the annual tournament in his honor. The Cougars were given a special award for winning this year’s tournament. Covel presented each member of the UH golf team with a trophy in the shape of a guitar in honor of the legacy Keith left behind.

Future of UH women’s golf

Under Lasprilla and Park’s leadership, the UH women’s golf program has been on a remarkable journey. The team has seen steady improvement over the three years they have been in charge. One of their goals is to maintain a highly competitive, nationally-ranked team capable of competing for the national championship. 

“We are super excited about this class. The future of our program remains bright with the signing of Freshman Chiara Brambilla and Ishiyama,” Lasprilla said. Their successful recruitment of highly sought-after golfers indicates a promising future for the UH women’s golf program. 

Currently ranked the No. 35 women’s collegiate golf team in the nation, the Cougars continued their impressive recruiting with three consecutive top recruiting classes. Two years ago, the incoming class was rated the second-best in the country. Last year’s class was highlighted by the signing of the top high school player in Texas, Kim, from Katy, Texas.

The UH golf program has proven to be able to develop recruits very well. The success of Saint Germain and Ishiyama directly shows the program’s commitment to player development. Both athletes excelled in the Schooner Classic, which shows Houston’s ability to elevate already talented players to the collegiate level.

With the addition of Brambilla and Ishiyama, Lasprilla and Park are focused on the future of Houston’s program. Based on the steady improvement, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Cougars nationally ranked in the near future.

Houston women’s golf is focused on recruiting and player development, and the Cougars are set to make a name for themselves for years to come.

“Schooner Classic champions strumming up success” was originally posted on The Cougar

The 14th annual Allston Village Street Fair Festival took place on Sunday, where families, students and community members gathered along Harvard Avenue to hear live music, browse local vendors and watch street performances.

The Portland City Council vote on Sept. 4 to divest from more than 80 companies linked to Israel appears to have renewed activism among college students at the University of Maine. Groups such as the UMaine chapter of Jewish Voices for Peace (JVP) consider the divestment vote an opportunity to advocate for divestment across the nation and raise awareness regarding the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Palestine.

Israel initiated continuous military actions that spread to Lebanon since the attack by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023 reignited ongoing conflicts in the region. The loss of human life in Gaza has escalated significantly, with “more than 40,000 lives lost” amid the ongoing Israeli occupation of Palestine, as reported by AP News on Aug. 15. Currently, over 1.1 million Palestinians are facing famine, and only a handful of hospitals remain operational due to the attacks, as data from the March 2024 Integrated Food Security Phase Classification acute food security analysis shows. 

Protests around the world—and within Maine— erupted in response, calling for a ceasefire and underscoring the urgent need to address Palestinian rights and humanitarian needs.

Portland City Council voted unanimously to divest from companies with financial ties to Israel on Sept. 4 in an effort to recognize the humanitarian crisis and to avoid financially supporting Israel. 

The resolution was brought forth by Council Member April Fournier, who spoke during the meeting.

“We’re not global peace solvers. We’re not sitting at a table at the U.N. We’re not presidents of countries,” said Fournier. “But what we do have control over is the decisions that we make as elected officials for the way that our resources are used, the way in which our programs are funded and living out our values through the policies that we pass as a body.” 

The list of more than 80 companies that Portland will no longer work with include banks, electronics companies, weapons manufacturers and real estate development firms. The vote stems from an Aug. 7 memorandum, which was led by Fournier and sponsored by the city mayor, city manager and several others. The memorandum requested that a meeting take place to discuss the vote. The resolve is set to remain in effect as long as the conflict continues. 

City Finance Manager, Brendon O’Connell, stated that he does not believe this will cause any economic impact on the city, as reported in a Sept. 6 article by News Center Maine.

In the weeks prior to the Portland City Council meeting, many concerned citizens sent emails to the council members requesting they support the vote to divest. 

“As an American Jew, I’m horrified by the genocide Israel is carrying out in Palestine. I don’t want my tax dollars funding genocide and mindless violence,” said Portland Resident Eva Fury ina n email. “Please pass the resolution to divest from Israel, and help Portland stay on the right side of history.”

As events unfolded in Portland, the UMaine Orono campus chapter of JVP celebrated the vote. 

“Obviously we are very excited by the city of Portland’s commitment to divest from Israel. I think that our efforts here at the University of Maine in Orono are bolstered by the state’s largest city taking this step,” said UMaine Student and Club Member Brooke Arend. “As a student chapter of JVP, seeing the state JVP chapter be involved in this victory feels very promising for our own future goals of divestment.”

A mission statement on the national JVP website describes the organization:

“Like generations of Jewish leftists before us, we fight for the liberation of all people. We believe through organizing, we can and will dismantle the institutions and structures that sustain injustice and grow something new, joyful, beautiful and life-sustaining in their place.” 

Local businesses along Fourth Street are struggling with construction throughout Dinkytown, bringing increased financial and safety concerns. 

The construction, part of the Dinkytown Pedestrian Improvement Project, aims to repave streets, add protected bike lanes, improve traffic signals, increase access to transit stops and upgrade intersections to adhere to Americans with Disability Act requirements, according to Hennepin County. Similar construction will begin on University Avenue in 2025. 

Until mid-October, Fourth Street will have no on-street parking and only one driving lane between Oak Street and Interstate 35W, according to Hennepin County. Access to local businesses and apartments will be maintained via detours around the work areas. 

Owner of Dinkytown McDonalds Melissa Smith-Kennedy said new roads and better pedestrian walkways will be nice, but the current construction is inconvenient for everyone. 

“Infrastructure is important to keep the roads nice and I think we all benefit from an overall quality of life in Minnesota that we’re used to,” Smith-Kennedy said. “But construction always is a pain in the butt.”

The Book House in Dinkytown manager Matt Hawbaker said he is concerned the road improvements will not be done as expected by mid-October. 

Though the construction is not ideal, Hawbaker said he hopes the changes will improve bike lane safety. He added he expects more demand for legitimate, metered parking spots if Dinkytown bike lanes become protected. 

“I’ve, for a long time, thought someone could get seriously hurt from being forced into traffic by a parked car in the bike lane,” Hawbaker said. “I don’t think that’s happened, luckily. I used to bike full-time for transportation, so I totally get the use of it.”

Hawbaker said he has seen an increase in wrong-way driving and double parking throughout Fourth Street since construction began. Hawbaker added he usually sees confused drivers at this time of year when many are driving in the city for the first time.

Smith-Kennedy said it is concerning to see the lack of safety in Dinkytown before and during construction, especially for drivers trying to navigate blind corners with a constant flow of pedestrians. 

Tony Nicklow, owner of Tony’s Diner, said his restaurant has not suffered much from the construction because of consistent walk-in and game day customers. 

Nicklow said the construction has forced him to shut down a significant portion of outdoor seating while still having to pay the city a $500 license. He said he wishes the city had given business owners a notice about limited sidewalk space. 

“I don’t know why I had to do that when my whole sidewalk is cut up,” Nicklow said. “Who’s going to sit outside now?”

Nicklow said he wishes the city would do a better job supporting business owners during construction as they did during COVID-19 by waiving license fees or giving a notice about construction that could impact storefronts. 

“This is a huge, huge job,” Nicklow said. “This is a long time. This is affecting families and businesses. They could have helped out a little bit or, you know, just for example, a small waive with the outdoor license.”

Construction halting delivery trucks and drive-by shopping

Nicklow said his delivery trucks have had to go back in order to move those shipments to a small van multiple times to navigate the Fourth Street construction more efficiently. 

Business has been slower than usual for Nicklow, except for game day weekends. He added he is thankful most of his customers are walk-ins, but he has not seen his usual drive-in customers for months. 

Like Nicklow, Smith-Kennedy said Dinkytown’s increased congestion has brought on problems receiving food and supply shipments to her business. Smith-Kennedy added she would rather have one-lane traffic than completely closed roads. 

“It’s that Dinkytown being such a condensed area that’s already got some logistical challenges,” Smith-Kennedy said. “Every day it’s something different.”

Hawbaker said The Book House’s sales are down about 15% more than usual at this time of year. Though The Book House does get plenty of walk-in customers, Hawbaker said the lack of store-front parking is discouraging their usual drive-in customers from coming by. 

“We’ve really had to do a lot of extra coordination, helping people get stuff in,” Hawbaker said. “We’ve been able to maintain that to a certain extent, but it’s definitely affected us.”

Smith-Kennedy said she is unsure if construction is deterring people from shopping but knows that, regardless, she is in it for the long run. 

“I’m in a for the long haul, so this one year we have construction,” Smith-Kennedy said. “It stinks, but we’ll be back next year. And we’ll be back next year after that.”

There was a curious buzz around campus with the arrival of Gov. Tim Walz on Sept. 17. Students flocked to the John Lewis Student Center and Rocky Mountain Pizza to see the Democratic vice presidential nominee, albeit with a different energy than they would likely have in most election years. After Biden’s last-minute departure from the presidential race, the overwhelming question — although still paired with a visceral excitement — about Vice President Kamala Harris and her VP pick is, “Who are they?” 

“I think the campaign as a whole is trying to connect to young people,” Aarington Brown, 2nd year PUBP who waited for Walz at the student center, told the Technique. When asked how well Walz is building that connection with young voters, Olivia Kawala, 2nd year CS, reserved judgment. “I have to see more because of how recent Kamala running and everything is,” she said. 

But young people certainly were the focus for the nominee’s Atlanta visit. After stepping onto the Hartsfield-Jackson airport tarmac and entering his motorcade — without speaking to press, something opponents have criticized at various campaign stops — he visited both Georgia Tech and Atlanta University Center students before leaving the city to head to North Carolina. It was only one day after Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance spoke to the Faith and Freedom Coalition, a Christian organization that seeks to influence public policy.   

Walz’s first stop was a packed John Lewis Student Center, where he toured Burdells with Audrey Zeff, 2nd year EIA and president of the GT College Democrats, and Sam Bolton, 3rd year BA and president of the Organization for Student Activism at GT. 

“One of the great privileges of my life — I served with John Lewis,” Walz told the two students. “For me, it feels special to be in here. I miss him. Especially at a time when it seems like things are chaotic, John was like a rock in the middle of a storm.” 

He asked Bolton what is compelling students to vote for Harris. “We basically just talked about how important it is that he is fighting for what people need, fighting for the right for people to live in peace and keep their rights intact no matter who they are, which is really just what we need right now,” Bolton told the Technique. 

For Harris and Walz, Georgia is a pivotal battleground state that the campaign is hoping could, after a narrow Biden win in 2020, go to the Democrats again in 2024. With barely more than a month before the election, the state looks almost like a tossup — a far cry from earlier this year where former President Donald Trump pulled ahead of Biden by five points. Harris currently trails Trump by less than a percentage point. 

“This is going to be so razor close, it is not out of the realm to think folks in here getting five more groups of folks to get five more groups of folks — that this presidential election could run through Rocky Mountain Pizza,” Walz said to an intimate gathering of a few dozen Tech students at the pizza joint right off campus. 

The group at Rocky Mountain erupted in applause when the vice presidential nominee — that they affectionately referred to as “Coach Walz” — arrived. “To each of you, as an American, thank you for believing in our democracy,” Walz said. “For believing that our politics can be something bigger, it can be something more positive, it can be something that all of us can be proud to be a part of.” He repeatedly emphasized the positivity and “joy” that the campaign has been using as a foil to Trump and Vance’s more ominous messages about the end of America. 

“This pessimism in our electoral system — this has not always been there,” Walz said. “And it’s really really scary.” Several times, Walz reminded students how many of the country’s current problems did not exist in decades past. “There had been joy in this. And we had watched people shake hands, and then they worked together for a common good.” It felt like a throwback to a kind of politics that died in 2016. “The policies we’re advocating for are the policies that help those folks who are actually going to vote against us. And that’s ok with me,” he said.

But he held that sense of nostalgia in tension with some of his more progressive policy goals and a campaign slogan of “We’re not going back.” While at times he appealed more to centrism and unity, at others, he outlined more left-wing changes a Harris administration could bring, mentioning proposed changes regarding reproductive rights, student loan debt cancellation, climate change, and Harris’ “opportunity economy.” If students were looking to hear moderate, “return to normalcy” rhetoric, they could. And if they were looking for signals that a Harris administration would be more progressive than the Biden presidency, they could find that, too. At times, Walz even sounded libertarian, centering his talk around freedom. “Things work best if people just remember that Golden Rule, ‘Mind your own damn business,’” Walz said. 

“Just based on talking to him, based on meeting his daughter, just seeing him as a human being, I’m like, I think he does care and does have very strong, probably more liberal — I don’t want to say extreme — but less moderate opinions. But I think for this campaign, I do think it is a relatively moderate appeal,” Bolton said about Walz’s positions. 

The Tech students in attendance received him enthusiastically. Harrison Baro, 4th year ENVE, described Walz as “very endearing and very captivating.” 

Walz’s speech was similar when talking to students at the Atlanta University Center, which has Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Morehouse School of Medicine and Spelman College as member institutions. He did emphasize voting accessibility more than at Georgia Tech. “You need to get yourself a governor who believes in voting,” he told the audience to applause.

After talking with the attendees, Walz left for the airport to fly to North Carolina. With 39 days until what will likely be the closest election in years, Harris, Walz, Trump and Vance are working overtime to win over undecided voters and increase base turnout. And Walz isn’t planning on lowering the campaign’s intensity in the home stretch. As he told his supporters at Tech, “Sleep when we’re dead. All gas, no brake.”
