Architecture school to ban
carcinogenic material by fall 2016 talk positive change,
RORY MATHER
CONTRIBUTING REPORTER
Styrene, a white plastic that is mass
produced and used in a variety of
commercial items such as Styrofoam
cups and takeout containers, is commonly used by students in College of
Architecture for making architectural
models.
The material, however, is known
to have harmful effects on humans. In
2014, the National Research Council
signed off on the National Toxicology
Program’s decision to characterize
styrene as “reasonably anticipated to
be a human carcinogen.”
In accordance with this movement, the architecture school has
taken its own steps to begin phasing
out student’s use of the cancer-causing material.
The school is discussing the health
concern and exploring alternative
materials, Dean of Sam Fox Carmon
Colangelo told Student Life in an
email. He added that a number of
architecture schools have already
banned the material and that Sam
Fox plans to do so by next fall.
Since word of styrene’s toxicity
has spread, cities all across the United
States have undertaken campaigns
to reduce its ubiquity. As of June
2015, cities in 10 different states have
officially banned styrene with three
others considering to follow suit.
Often, architecture students are
required to sand, laser cut or melt
styrene, which spreads particles of
the material into the air. According
to the Agency of Toxic Substances
and Disease Registry, inhalation of
styrene can causes feelings similar to
those of intoxication, and in serious
cases, liver damage.
Many current architecture students
are excited about the removal of styrene mainly because of the various
health hazards.
Sophomore Eve Bobrow said styrene’s unhealthy effects can be heavily
felt in the architecture studio.
“When everyone is using it, you
could definitely feel a difference in the
air,” Bobrow said. “Sometimes I have
to leave studio because I get such bad
headaches. There were even times
where I felt like I had chronic headaches because everyone was using
styrene for their final models.”
It’s not just the styrene itself that
can cause irritations—in order to join
two pieces of styrene, students have
to use a solvent called Weld-On. The
fumes from this solvent have similar effects as the styrene dust when
inhaled, which has lead students and
professors alike to nickname the solvent “poison.”
Sophomore Kevin He described
how the dangers of styrene were
never detailed in full—even into his
second year at Sam Fox.
“When I came into the art school,
the professors just told us that styrene
was dangerous, but never told us
about all the problems with it,” He
said. “We never had a safety tutorial.
I learned how to use styrene through
trial and error and out of all the materials we use here, styrene puts us in
the most amount of danger.”
Bobrow noted that alongside
the lack of information is a lack of
proper safety equipment in case of an
emergency.
“One of the guys accidentally
squirted ‘poison’ in his eye, and when
he went to the wash his eyes out,
there was no eyewash in the eyewash
bottle,” Bobrow said.
The ban may be an opportunity to
expand creativity in the architecture
school, He believes.
“Sometimes I feel like instructors
force us to use styrene,” He said.
“Design and creativity is being limited by styrene, and I wish instructors
would showcase other materials and
how to use them.”
Although some students are vocal
about the banning of styrene, others are worried that it will negatively
impact their work and productivity.
Sophomore
Sam
Landay
explained that it’s not uncommon for
architecture students to put their projects before their health.
“I like styrene because you can get
it in so many different shapes and
sizes,” Landay said. “It’s cheaper
than wood and you can heat it
to change its shape. You can do
the same thing with other materials like wood, but it’s much more
labor-intensive.”
Even outspoken opponents of styrene admit the necessity of utilizing
the material.
“I definitely still use styrene,”
Bobrow said. “In fact, my last model
was made entirely of styrene. People
aren’t penalized when using styrene,
but it is definitely considered the standard. I know that if you don’t have
styrene models in your portfolio, that
looks weird in architecture.”
Various other architecture faculty
members contacted by Student Life
declined to comment on their stance
on the styrene ban.
WU’s role in community
KATIE MARCUS
SENIOR NEWS EDITOR
Residents of East St. Louis gathered to discuss their experiences living
in a city prone to adversity and how
they envision positive change manifesting in their dynamic communities
on Thursday night
Voices of East St. Louis, a subset
of Project East St. Louis (PESL) that
aims to amplify the voices of East St.
Louis community members, hosted
the panel, which included a current
high school student, a health care professional, a mother and community
organizer, a minister and an established grocer, all from the East St.
Louis community.
Organizers of the event noted that
while last year’s panel focused on
examining some of the issues in East
St. Louis from an academic lens, the
focus this year was to let community
members share their experiences
directly with students.
Minister Greg Witherspoon, the
first panelist to speak, worked for
Anheuser-Busch for 10 years before
beginning his vocational service at
New Life Community Church in
East St. Louis in 2010. He noted
that although there remains room for
improvement, he has seen a distinct
shift in the cooperation within the
community.
“We’re seeing partnering like we’ve
never seen before,” Witherspoon said.
“We see community activists, store
owners, parents, students, people
beginning to say, ‘We are East St.
Louis’, and there’s a new representation that’s starting to emerge in the
city.”
Jabari Conrad spoke on behalf of
Bond Ave Fish and Poultry, a fourth
generation grocery store currently
owned by his father. The store has
been housed in East St. Louis for over
70 years, where Conrad oversees its
daily operations.
He noted that a huge factor in
encouraging growth is helping people discover and monetize their skill
sets, a notion in line with the original
industrialist ideals on which St. Louis
was built.
“The ability to maneuver, move
and change and affect the growth
of the community from within is
something I’ve noticed to be not just
a change but a good change, as far as
the city’s concerned,” Conrad said.
Another voice on the panel came
from Bhagya Kolli, the director of
nutrition services at East Side Health
District and a leader in various public health initiatives in St. Louis that
include access to fresh food, breastfeeding counseling and diabetes
prevention.
She shared her experiences teaching women and encouraging them
to pass on the knowledge to others,
which over time lead to multiple
women pursuing nursing degrees and
getting jobs within hospitals.
“There’s so much talent out there.
It just takes a little something to say,
‘You’ve got it. Use it,” Kolli said.
Mother of three and East St. Louis
community organizer Lettie Hicks
emphasized the importance of identifying your passion and then taking
action in a way that gets you excited.
“In order to react, you have to act,”

Fontbonne bests WU at capture the flag
SAM SEEKINGS
NEWS EDITOR
Over
a
hundred
Washington University and
Fontbonne University students
came together Saturday to participate in a capture the flag
match between the two student bodies, with Fontbonne
leaving as the victor in the
competition.
The match, which was
organized by the Congress
of the South 40, the North
Side Association (NSA) and
Fontbonne’s Residence Hall
Association (RHA), allowed
students to interact with their
peers at nearby institutions in a
fun, relaxed environment.
The match contradicts
what many students consider
a long pattern of general apathy between the two student
bodies. Organizers said they
hope it will serve as the
starting point for a growing
relationship between the two
schools.
Jared Kramer, junior and
NSA director of finance,
noted that among the events
organizers, feelings of camaraderie had been growing
since the two groups met
at the Midwest Affiliate
of College and University
Residence Halls (MACURH)
Conference.
“So [CS40 Director of
Development Poorva Jain]
and I went to MACURH, and
we met the Fontbonne student
leaders there and just started
talking to them,” he said. “We
were talking about how we’re
neighboring schools, but we
never really get together or do
anything, how we never really
see each other, so the idea
started naturally because we
wanted an event where people
could kind of meet our next
door neighbors.”
From this original inspiration, the three organizations
worked together to make the
event a reality, procuring funding from MACURH for the
collaborative event.
After initially planning
a series of Olympic-style
competitions, the organizers
decided instead to host a capture the flag match to increase
attendance.
“Originally we were going
to try to do some sort of
Olympics thing, but because
CS40 had already put on the
Residential College Olympics
earlier in the year, we didn’t
really see a point in doing the
same thing again, because
people wouldn’t show up,”
Jain said. “So we decided to
do capture the flag instead.”
In these terms, Jain believes
the event was a success.
“We went into this not
knowing what was going to
happen,” she said. “It could’ve
gone both ways, but over 130
people showed up and we saw
real interaction between Wash.
U. and Fontbonne students.”
Considering the success of
the event, organizers are looking to continue collaborating
next year.
“Both
schools
came
together, and a lot of students
were asking why we don’t have
more events like this,” RHA
Vice President DeMarcus
Davis said. “We’re actually all
having another meeting next
week about potentially having
a zombie nerf war next year.”
subsections: one designed for
academic guidance and tutoring, one in the medical clinic
and Voices of St. Louis, the
third, which held the panel and
focuses on advocacy.
“They’re really receptive
to [Washington University]
people making long-term connections with the community,”
Yang said.
She said a main message throughout the panel
was that change begins with
understanding.
“The panelists emphasized
taking the time to listen to
what people are saying instead
of just forcing a solution on
them,” Yang said.
Junior Risha Shah, also a
member of PESL, noted that
while Washington University
students have an ability to
make a difference in the East
St. Louis community, students
that reach out may find that
there is a lot to gain on both
sides.
“There’s a lot to be learned
by going to communities
where you don’t necessarily
fit in immediately or you don’t
have a lot in common,” Shah
said.
Sophomore Kourtney Kroll
attended the event and was
impressed by the content each
panelist put forth.
“They all had a unique message and perspective to give
and that really came across
well throughout the entire discussion,” Kroll said. “It really
made me think about the types
of impacts I want to make and
how my time here can help me
do that.”
PANEL FROM PAGE 1
Hicks said. “You have to take
steps towards that reaction.”
She noted that while some
may be complacent, keeping to
themselves and not working for
the sake of the community, significant change requires more
than just going about your
daily life.
“If that’s all you’re going
to do, what changes are you
going to see?” Hicks said.
Aspiring artist and current
East St. Louis Senior High
School student Andra Lang
Jr. spoke of his experience
attending public school in the
community, and noted that a
general lack of self-worth and
ambition amongst students
often holds people back from
achievement—starting at a
young age.
He
suggested
that
Washington
University
students looking to help
encourage East St. Louis youth
to dream big need to engage in
real, empathic relationships
with them.
“First and foremost build
their trust, and once you have
that established, start to inspire
them,” Lang said.
Conquering the negative
mindset, however, is no small
feat, he added.
“That’s going to be hard.
You have to in some way break
through all of that,” he said.
Sophomore and PESL
member Sarah Yang said that
the enthusiasm for putting
on the panel was clear from
both sides of the engagement
and was aided by the connections previously established
by the group through its three

Baseball triumphs in extra innings against Chicago
AARON BREZEL
SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR
It took 15 innings, 4 1/2
hours, six pitchers, 18 hits and
one botched ground ball, but
the Washington University
baseball team pulled out a
long-winded 6-5 victory over
the University of Chicago
Saturday afternoon, in the first
game of a doubleheader.
With bases loaded and one
out, freshman designated hitter Wright Lindgren topped a
soft ground ball down the third
baseline. The third baseman
had the ball tip off his glove
and had to rush the throw
home. By then, it was already
too late. Senior center fielder
Max Golembo scored from
third to end the marathon. “I’ve coached some extra
inning games and some,
believe it or not, even longer
than that,” head coach Pat
Bloom said. “I think what it
really tests is our guys’ mental
toughness and their ability to
overcome fatigue and overcome setbacks throughout the
game.”
There were plenty of setbacks. In both the 10th and
11th innings, the Bears had
a runner in scoring position
with one out, only to ground
into inning-ending double
plays. In the 14th, Lindgren
was thrown out trying to
advance from second to home
on a single by senior catcher
Kyle Kozak. Had Bloom held
Lindgren at third, the Bears
would have had runners on
first first and second with one
out. However, Bloom cited
scouting as the reason for the
aggressive send.
“We knew that the left
fielder was probably the lesser
of the three [outfielders] in
terms of arm strength. He just
happened to come up, get a
hop and make a good throw,”
Bloom said. “Give him credit
for doing it.”
In total, the Bears left 17
men on base in the game and
went 1-7 with runners in scoring position from the ninth
inning onward. It took a hit
by pitch, a bunt single with
an errant throw and an intentional walk to set the stage in
the bottom of the 15th. Even
Wash. U.’s decisive run was
miscue-aided.
“We had a lot of missed
opportunities offensively, but
we did enough defensively to
continue to throw zero’s up
and give our offense a chance
to squeak one across the
board,” Bloom said.
Defense proved crucial on
more than one occasion. In
the 10th, junior Scott Nelson
made a leaping grab on a
wind-aided line drive to left
field for the first out of the
inning. Two batters later,
junior Ben Browdy ranged to
his right, made a diving stop
and threw to first for the third
out of the inning. Then in the
12th, Golembo made a full
extension dive with two outs
and the bases loaded to save
at least two runs. In between
those flashy plays, Kozak
threw out a runner attempting
to steal second in the 11th and
picked a runner off second in
the 13th.
All of this defensive effort
worked in support of a fiveman relief corps that put
together seven innings of
one-run ball in support of
junior Brad Margolin who
went eight innings, allowing
four runs and collecting six
strikeouts. After Chicago tied
the game 5-5 on a wild pitch
in the ninth, Chicago mustered just three hits and struck
out five times in the final six
innings. Sophomore Alex
Truss pitched the final three
and a third inning to earn his
second win of the season.
At the plate, the Bears
struck first with three runs in
the bottom of the fourth, with
RBIs from junior first baseman Tate Maider, Kozak and
Golembo. Chicago then knotted the score with a pair of
runs in the fifth and a run on
a throwing error by Margolin
in the sixth. Junior shortstop
Austin Darmawan gave the
Bears the lead again with a triple to left center, scoring junior
third basemen Spencer Egly.
Both teams traded runs in the
eighth before Chicago scored
in the ninth to send the game
to extra innings.
Lindgren’s winning ground
ball would have been a cathartic bookend for a tiring day,
only there was still another
game to play. Luckily for
the Bears and their stamina,
game two’s 11-1 victory over
Chicago followed a much different script.
Wash. U. hit .388 with
runners in scoring position, and Nelson, now on
the mound, gave the Bears a
complete-game, seven-inning
performance, allowing one
run and one walk while striking out three.
“Obviously we were all
exhausted,” Darmawan said
Junior Ben Browdy covers first base in the Bears’ 15-inning win against University of Chicago
on Saturday afternoon. The Bears won two of three games in the Alumni Weekend triple-header
against University of Chicago.
of the back-to-back games.
“We played 15 innings before
that and to have a pitcher
come out and throw strikes
like that is just huge. It’s all you
need to do—it gets us pumped.
He’s got to be tired too…To
see him give all that he’s got is
just awesome to see.”
Nelson’s
performance
becomes even more impressive once you remember that
he also played nine innings in
left field. He relieved junior
Christian Santos in the seventh inning, and then stayed
on until the completion of the
game. It’s not standard practice to send starting pitchers
out into the field for extended
periods of time only hours
before they throw, but it’s fair
to say Bloom did not realize
Nelson would essentially have
to play a complete game before
heading out to the mound.
Nelson’s
complete-game
start also helped preserve a
bullpen that had to cover seven
innings in the game before and
could be called upon to pitch
the next day, in the Bears’
third and final game against
Chicago.
The Bears scored three
runs in the opening three
innings but blew the game
wide open in the fourth, with
seven runs on six hits. After a
single, walk and hit by pitch
loaded the bases with one out,
Darmawan, Golembo, Santos
and Browdy strung together
four singles to drive in six runs.
A single by Maider, scoring
Browdy, rounded out the scoring. The Bears would tack on
another run in the fifth on an
RBI ground out by Golembo
before settling in for the 10-run
victory.
Santos made up for his 0-3
performance with six men left
on base in the first game of
the doubleheader by going 4-4
with two RBIs and two runs
scored. Other notables for the
Bears were Golembo, who
collected a game-high three
RBIs, Browdy, who went 2-4
with two RBIs and two runs
scored, and Darmawan who
scored four runs.
In the final game of the
weekend, the Bears were stymied for just six hits in an 11-2
loss. The two runs the Bears
scored came on one swing of
the bat, a two run shot to left
field off the bat of Browdy
in the bottom of the fourth.
Meanwhile, senior Julian
Clarke was tagged for 11 hits
and six runs in six innings, for
his fourth loss of the season.
With the 2-1 weekend, the
Bears improve to 22-13.
Even after playing 31
innings of baseball this weekend, the Bears will not have
much of a breather. They take
Kelly Field again on Tuesday
for a 3:30 p.m. game against
Millikin University.

SENIOR SPORTS EDITOR
Facing opponents with
a combined 17-47-1 record
heading into the weekend,
the No. 18 Washington
University softball team
dominated and earned six
victories. On Thursday, the
Bears traveled to Greenville
College for a pair of 9-0,
6-1 wins. The next day, the
Red and Green shut out
Principia College at home
11-0 and 8-0. Finally on
Sunday, they were off at
Blackburn College securing two victories, 9-0 and
10-2. Here is everything
you need to know from the
weekend.
TOP PERFORMERS
As one might expect,
a lot of Bears had strong
performances, but it was
junior left fielder Hannah
Mehrle who stood out,
with a 12-21 weekend.
After going hitless in her
last two games from the
previous weekend, Mehrle
raised her average to 0.477,
while collecting 10 RBIs
and scoring six runs.
When she wasn’t shutting down opposing hitters
to the tune of nine hits and
17 strikeouts in 13 innings
of
work,
sophomore
Maggie Clapp also finished
the weekend with nine hits
and seven RBIs.
The Bears’ workhorse,
senior Annie Pitkin, only
made three appearances
in the six game weekend
but still managed to tally
19 strikeouts in 15 innings,
while only allowing four
hits.
Gauden and Anna McKee
enlightened onlookers as
they saw their first action
on mound this weekend
since the middle of March.
In the second game
against Principia, Gauden
relieved Clapp in the third
inning. She pitched three
innings, allowing one hit
and striking out five to earn
the win. McKee relieved
her for the final inning
and struck out two. The
Bears followed the same
formula in their second
game against Blackburn.
This time, Gauden gave up
two unearned runs in three
innings of work, while

With eight games to play,
freshman Taylor Arends
(44), junior Janet Taylor
(41) and Mehrle (39) are
all within striking distance for the single season

Ashton Hitchcock.
Pitkin finished the weekend with 206 strikeouts
on the year, crossing the
200-strikeout threshold for
the second straight year.
Were the season to end
today, Taylor would set
the single-season on base
percentage record with a
0.554 mark. Taylor tops
that threshold thanks in
part to her 22 walks, which
also currently ties a single
season record.
UP NEXT
Next weekend, the Bears
will begin the first leg of an
eight-game home stand to
close out the season. This
Saturday, it’s a doubleheader against Monmouth
College (Ill.) for senior
day. Last season against
Monmouth, Pitkin set
the single-game strikeout
record with 18.

like “this is the song that
everyone needs to listen
to.”We kind of released the
albums as a whole [and]
then responded to what
other people were responding to. Songs like “Doses
& Mimosas”—we made a
video for that because people
were into it. So, it’s kind of
one of those things where
we reacted a lot to what was
going on, as opposed to trying to steer things from the
beginning, and it’s allowed
us to really have some
organic growth from the
beginning, as opposed to trying to hold onto a radio hit
or something like that. It’s
allowed us to slowly build
fan bases up from the beginning and because of that we

when to back off and when
to push something. There
definitely was a honeymoon
phase when we first met.
Probably after a year or two,
we probably got on each others’ nerves for a while, trying
to figure out what each
others’ role was and battling
personality-wise to a certain
extent. After that, it was
like we get each other now,
and everything’s been super
cool. It was never like at
each others’ throats. We’ve
always worked things out the
day of the dispute; we don’t
let things fester forever and
then want to kill each other
months down the road and
bring up some s---. It was just
a matter of understanding
each other. We do have a lot

differences.

it’s really cool! We come
into town and play Old Rock

here at the Pageant tonight.
We’re super stoked—it’s
been a couple years of coming here to St. Louis; it’s
been really fun.
SL: What are your main
differences?
JH: Certain things—
things where it’s not bad. I’m
super passive about things,
and sometimes it’s good to
be lax, and sometimes, I end
up being like “Dammit. I f--ing shouldn’t have been that
lax about it.”

JK: When you’re on tour,
songs are based on real life
experiences. What’s your
brainstorming process—like
in translating those experiences into music?
I think of myself as a
laid-back person. I smoke
so much weed—I can’t be
uptight! I’m pretty particular
about our live show stuff
and how things get done.
One of the reasons why I’m
super particular about that
stuff is [that] in what we’re
doing, there never really is
a right answer. There are
a million different ways to
get one thing done. There
might be five or six different
right ways to do it, but the
reason why I like to do it my
way is so I know absolutely
everything that’s going on,
from start to finish. And if
there’s some issue, I know
right where to hop in to start
fixing it...With that said,
there are plenty of times
where I won’t know what
city we’re going to next and
only know that because our
tour manager put it in the
calendar. And [we] keep our
hands in every part of the
process.
the venues a lot of times
have a washer and dryer, but
everybody wants to do the
laundry in the bus, so you
have 12 to 13 people trying
to hit up the dryer, so it’s
always over-flooded. And
you’re dirtier on tour.
JH: I know our brainstorming process. This is one of
my favorite things to say!
In our new record, we were
moved into a new studio
space. So, it hasn’t been quite
like this, but I used to wake
up all the time—Jordan and
I have rooms that connect
with each other, almost
like one of those little hotel
doors. I would wake up all
the time to hearing plunking around with some little
samples and maybe some
keys. And 15 minutes later
it turns into a loop, and then
a little baseline would come
in with some chords. Then I
would hear Jordan start singing nonsense to himself for
the next hour or so. (Imitates
Jordan) Not actually saying
real words!
JK: When you’re figuring
out lyrics, you’ve got to.
JH: A certain syllable would
create a certain feeling, and
you could hold onto that
idea and start writing around
it and stuff like that. A lot of
it’s not necessarily done with
intention on the way into it,
but it’s about what is inspiring along the way and what
just feels right.
SL: How do you guys influence each other? How has
that evolved and shaped your
music?
JK: A big thing for me and
Jason is [that] we’re alike in
a lot of ways, but we’re really
different in a lot of ways.
Making things work has
been [about] understanding
our personalities and knowing what our strong points
and weaknesses are and
JK: You hear about musicians being grown little kids,
and it’s because they’re in
a situation once they go on
tour [where] if they start
playing and getting enough
of a pull [they] can literally start getting babied for
everything. If you have a
tour manager, it’s like your
mom when you were 10
[years old].
JH: It’s like the movie
“Spinal Tap”— “I just want
bigger bread.”
JK: It’s pretty crazy, to the
point where, between our
tour manager and business
manager, I don’t even own a
key to anything.
JH: I have a lot of keys.
JK: If things started going
south and Ryan and Paul

JH: Also, the 75 percent
sick thing. People won’t get
actually sick-sick. If you’re
actually sick sick, you’ll
quarantine yourself in a
hotel room and get better.
But you’re never quite
100 percent. You’ll always
get the sniffles and a little
cough. You’re a little run
down, like you’re operating
on 75 percent health. It’s
just the nature of the beast.
You have 13 people living in
a tour bus for three months
at a time. You’re constantly
changing climates and
allergens that you’re being
exposed to. You’re working
into the wee hours of the
morning and sleeping during
the daytime like a vampire.
You put that all down on
paper and it’s like, “Tight.
You’re going to get sick.”

of advice to yourselves when

of it that you possibly can.
You might not necessarily
get everything inside of the
classroom. The most valuable things I learned was
the network of people and
the skills and experiences I
made. But I was also there
for 5 1/2 years—definitely
took my time. I worked
on campus booking all of
the events, like the Social
Programming Board that
booked us for tonight. I
used to have that job at our
school.
JK: This ain’t his first rodeo.
JH: Meeting all of those
people and learning all of
those things got directly
applied to CHERUB in our
first formative months and
years. And the other thing is
[that] it’s just so much fun.
You only get to do it once,
so just do the f--- out of it
while you’re there. We’re still
managing to find ways to
pretend we’re in college, by
playing at colleges and going
out to to parties afterward
and stuff, but if I had the
chance to just hang out and
throw more house parties,
I’d definitely do that.
JK: Jason likes house
parties. If I’m blackout,
I’ll have a great time at [a
house party], but if someone
asked me what I like to do,
I wouldn’t be mentioning
house party.

Tokyo.

way way more appealing to
me. I’d rather take the opportunities that we are so lucky to

that. It’s so much fun. People
are so delightfully weird! And
we’re included in that—everyone’s a weirdo. There are so

do is meet everyone who
buys a ticket to a show and
has fun at it. We always say
like, “We have the day off
tomorrow, and we’re trying
to hang out and go to a bar.”
And people are like, “Yeah
right!” We f---ing for real like
to go to a bar after the show.

don’t feel forced to. It’s just
the least we can do.
JK: It’s usually super whack.
SL: How do you see yourselves shaping with the music
industry?
JK: There’s a piece missing
when you stream an album.
You don’t get the smell of the
booklet or the whole vision
behind it, with the art that
goes into it. I think, as a musician, it makes me put music
out more frequently, which
can be a good or a bad thing.
Quality over quantity for us.
It’d be tight to put out like
three albums in a year.

Through the city by metro: Taking a day trip to Soulard
HANUSIA HIGGINS
STAFF WRITER
Many Washington
University students visit
the Soulard neighborhood
only once per year—in the
drunken haze of Mardi Gras.
But Soulard has much more
to offer than cheap beads,
and it’s easily accessible for
anyone with a U-Pass. As the
oldest neighborhood in St.
Louis, it’s a mix of historic
red brick residences and
thriving nightlife. On a sunny
Saturday, I hopped on the
metro to go there and get out
of the Wash. U. bubble.
To start my journey, I took
the blue line eastbound to
the Civic Center station and
then walked to the adjacent
transit center to find the No.
30 MetroBus. The No. 30
MetroBus is a dedicated route
between Civic Center and
Soulard, but—because it was
delayed when I got there—I
decided to walk instead. The
25-minute walk was quite
pleasant in the perfectly
sunny, 70-degree weather.
My first destination was
the famed Soulard Farmers’
Market, which was amazing.
Yes, I might be biased as a
farmers market lover, but this
market sells everything from
produce and poultry to mini
donuts and margaritas, and
it’s open Wednesday through
Saturday. I was struck by the
friendliness: vendors I met
were happy to chat about their
products, and many offered
free samples. Later, when the
market was winding down,
one produce stand offered to
sell me eight tomatoes, nine
kiwis and a banana for $3, as
he tried to clear out his stand.
Of course, I took the deal.
If farmers markets aren’t
your thing, simply head south
to see what else Soulard has
to offer. There are plenty of
restaurants interspersed with
houses in this neighborhood,
which is surprisingly peaceful—during the day, anyway.
When I was there, the line
at Bogart’s Smokehouse
stretched way out the door,
but every block brought a
new deli or cafe. If you’re
looking for more familiar
cuisine, Mission Taco Joint
has a location on nearby
Lafayette Avenue. (Hint:
their veggie “Taco of the
Month” for April is insanely
good). And, if you end up
in Soulard either early in the
A Soulard sign stands outside Mission Taco on Lafayette Street.

morning or late at night, the
John’s Donuts storefront is
right across the street from the
farmers market.
Another notable feature of
this area is the parks. Spread
throughout the neighborhood, most of them are quite
small, but they function well
for physical exercise or even
for getting some schoolwork
done. I stopped in Pontiac
Square Park for a while, and it
was a fantastic place to meet a
lot of dogs. If dog-petting (or
dog-spotting) is your objective,
I definitely recommend this
spot.
Further south in Soulard
reside the Anheuser-Busch
brewery and the haunted
Lemp Mansion, both local
St. Louis landmarks. The
brewery offers free tours (with
product samples included),
and the Lemp Mansion is
a ghostly experience best
undertaken at night. Speaking
of night, I didn’t get to witness
Soulard’s renowned nightlife
scene when I visited at noon.
However, I did see a sign on
one of the red brick houses
claiming, “What happens in
Soulard stays in Soulard.”
Once it was time to return
to campus, I whipped out
my trusty Google Maps app
and found that the No. 73
MetroBus was soon stopping
nearby. I walked a few blocks
to the bus stop, passing yet
another park, boarded it and
rode to the Union Station
stop. From there, I took the
westbound MetroLink blue
line back to campus. With
arms laden with bags of
tomatoes, kiwis, tangerines,
flowers and mini donuts, I’d
say it was a successful day at
Soulard.

“18-year-old punk.”
Now, in one giant leap,
the deputy press secretary
and Wash. U. alumnus has
traded the South 40 for
the White House and the
Campus Circulator for Air
Force One.
His gig in the Obama
administration represents the pinnacle of two
decades of hard work and
networking, Schultz said
while visiting campus as
a featured speaker Friday.
In both his Assembly
Series lecture and an
interview with Student
Life, Schultz emphasized
the importance of building
relationships and staying
positive while working in
politics.
The communications
job is long in the making,
though perhaps inadvertently, he said. As a Wash.
U. student, he served as
speaker of Congress of the
South 40 and lived with a
Student Life editor, and the
two “would quarrel and
argue back then about the
paper’s coverage of CS40,”
Schultz said. “I had no
idea at that time that that
would be a signal of things
to come.”
Schultz interned for
Senator Chuck Schumer
(D-N.Y.) after his freshman
year of college and volunteered for Hillary Clinton’s
first senatorial campaign
the following summer. In
the grind of that highprofile race, the stalwart
intern focused on opposition research and was
offered a full-time position
through the November
2000 election.
The decision to accept
was a difficult one, Schultz
said, because it meant having to give up a prospective
semester abroad. Instead,
he took that fall off and
stayed on with Clinton,
who won her election by
12 points.
“I remember calling
[Dean of Students] Justin
Carroll asking for what
he thinks I should do,”
Schultz remembered, “and
he was like, ‘Eric, on campus, we’ll all still be here
when you get back. Go
do this once-in-a-lifetime
experience.’”
It turns out the
experience wasn’t once-ina-lifetime. In the 14 years
since Schultz graduated
from Wash. U., he has
worked for the failed
presidential campaigns
of John Kerry (2004) and
John Edwards (2008), the
Democratic Senatorial
Campaign Committee
and, since spring 2011, for
President Barack Obama.
With the 2016 election
season in full swing and
Wash. U. preparing to
host a presidential debate
in October, Schultz sees
the current environment
as especially fruitful for
students aspiring to follow
his political path. From his
own experience, he recommended that anybody
interested in working in
politics start now, with an
internship or an entry-level
job on a campaign or in a
politician’s office.
“When current undergrads get the advice to go
get internships [and] go
get pragmatic experience,
I think that’s dead on
because I think not only
are you building skill sets
and experiences, but you’re
also building relationships,
which are pretty fundamental,” Schultz said.
As any college advisor
who has proselytized about
the importance of networking can attest, those
relationships can serve as
crucial building blocks for
a later career.
In Schultz’s case,
that development manifested when he received
a position in Schumer’s
Washington, D.C.,
office post-graduation
and bounced from there
to Kerry’s presidential
campaign. His connections were solid, he thinks,
because of how seriously
he took each assigned task
while working low-level
jobs.
“Campaigns are true
meritocracies,” he said.
“What I mean by that
is good people, who are
talented and do their
jobs without a sense of
entitlement, always rise to
the top.”
A political science major
at Wash. U., Schultz also
minored in writing, and
he added that any students
interested in a political
career would do well to
strengthen their rhetorical
skills. But most of all, he
said, jobs and opportunities come to those who
craft positive relationships—even with partisan
opponents or rivals for a
certain position.
“You should always
remember that there
will be another struggle,
another fight, another issue
to resolve tomorrow, but
that your honesty and your
credibility and your respect
for one another should
always rise above all that,”
Schultz said. “Your relationships around the table
and in the room are going
to last much longer than
whatever you’re working to
resolve at the moment.”
***
I admit that my desire
to interview Schultz was
not entirely borne of
journalistic magnanimity.
Rather, I wanted to expand
on a syracuse.com profile
of Schultz that revealed
that my favorite television
show, “The West Wing,”
had partially inspired him
to his current position, as
the Aaron Sorkin political vehicle aired its first
few seasons while Schultz
watched attentively from
his dorm room on the
South 40.
When I asked Schultz
about the show whose
plots he lives out on a daily
basis, he leaned forward
and asked, “OK, so can we
have a conversation about
this? Do people still watch
‘The West Wing’?”
Apparently, yes, because
at his Assembly Series
lecture later in the day,
multiple students asked
similar questions about the
accuracy of various television depictions of life in

STAFF EDITORIAL
Shifting venues, shifting goals for SPB’s concert series
A
fter traditionally holding
its semesterly
concert series
at the Gargoyle, Social
Programming Board
moved this week’s concert
off campus to the Pageant.
The show featured
Cherub and Washington
University’s own freshman
Zachary Alter (known
as DJ Alter). The venue
change was unexpected,
as SPB had previously laid
out at the General Budget
Meeting this spring that
it was looking to move to
the Pageant in time for
the fall semester. Despite
the surprise, we at Student
Life are glad to see SPB
trying out new models for
its programming. As we’ve
said before, we love the
Gargoyle, but the move to
the Pageant still shows that
SPB cares about innovation rather than strict
tradition.
So, how did this
experiment pan out? The
Pageant, after all, is a
considerably different
venue than the Gargoyle.
Not only is it larger, but
it also lacks the musty,
stale air that makes the
Mallinckrodt Center basement so lovable. One of
SPB’s goals was to raise
attendance levels in order
to improve the standing
of the event itself and to
bring down cost per head.
However, attendance
hovered around 300; well
within the usual levels for
Gargoyle concerts and
certainly not pushing The
Pageant’s max capacity
of 2,300. But that doesn’t
mean the move was unsuccessful. More attendees
does not a good concert
make. The quality of the
artists and their performance ability is integral in
the equation.
A band, for instance,
might not be as interested in playing a smaller
venue like the Gargoyle.
Cherub, in fact, said as
much in their interview
with Cadenza (read more
on Pages 1 and 5). Jordan
Kelley, one half of the
electro-indie duo, said, “It
might make a big difference that [the show is] at
a proper venue instead of
like, ‘We are the school
theatre.’ It’s a different
vibe. They have a proper
PA here.” Not only does
it seem that Cherub was
interested in the move to
the Pageant, but the band’s
interests may have pushed
SPB to switch venues
sooner than expected.
Hopefully, that kind of
thinking indicates that
more bands will be willing
to come to St. Louis if we
provide an appropriately
professional atmosphere.
To Cherub’s point, the
Pageant certainly has
more professional facilities
than the Gargoyle. While
it may cost more to rent,
there are time-tested lights,
professional sound equipment and general facilities
already in place.
So this past week’s concert had its advantages and
disadvantages. Hopefully
this test round will be
instructive in planning
future events on a Pageantbased model. Looking
forward, SPB is already
working to make more
changes. For instance, the
programming group said
they will focus more on
student talent come spring
2017. That’s an admirable
goal, as the campus music
scene is underappreciated
and underutilized. No
doubt student groups will
jump at the chance to play
a show at the Pageant.
But a student talent focus may also run
contrary to SPB’s other
stated goals. Without a
big name headliner, it will
be increasingly difficult to
draw a large crowd. If SPB
is struggling to increase
headcount now, imagine
doing so with lesser-known
acts. Lower attendance
also means higher cost per
head. Where does SPB
make up the difference?
Most likely with a lower
cost per artist, as student
bands cost much less than
a touring act ever will.
Hopefully, SPB can
strike a happy medium
between student focus
and professional focus.
This semester’s bill, for
instance, draws in music
fans while also exposing
them to student talent.
Other incentives, like free
beverages (in the past,
shows at the Gargoyle
have included this) or
partnering with a nearby
restaurant like Piccione for
post-concert events, could
help increase attendance
under the new Pageantbased model.
If SPB can work out the
kinks and focus its goals,
the semesterly concert
series could become stronger than ever. Just don’t
ever bring Macklemore
back to the Pageant. It
didn’t work out so well the
first time.
POINT-COUNTERPOINT
Point: Wash. U. students need
to step back, take care of themselves
PETER DISSINGER
FORUM EDITOR
Y
ou may have
heard the motto,
“At college you
can only choose
two of these three things:
work, play and sleep.”
Well, I’d argue you can get
all three if you play your
cards right. I am a loyalist
to the 15-credit schedule
and a dedicated advocate
of “work-life balance” at
Washington University (and
for that matter, college in
general). A standard academic schedule is an ideal
way to maintain relationships with a network of
good friends, get a decent
amount of sleep (or, enough
to avoid sleep deprivation)
and maintain involvement in
extracurricular activities.
Wash. U. students tend to
take a lot of classes in their
time here—whether it is
necessitated by their major,
personal initiative or the
motivation to graduate early,
most of us will at some
point end up taking more
than 15 credits in a semester. Whether or not this is
a cultural component of
life at Wash. U., it’s easy to
become consumed by your
academic schedule.
Take sophomore Jorge
Gutierrez, a good friend of
mine. A biology major on
the pre-med track, Jorge is
currently taking 19 credits,
which include Organic
Chemistry, Cell Biology,
Computer Science 131
and Ancient Medicine.
He wanted to get ahead
on his graduation requirements and work toward his
major while also pursuing
interesting classes at Wash.
U. Unfortunately, Jorge
described the semester as
a nonstop game of playing
“catch up” on homework
and tests. He’ll be the first
person to tell you that his
was the schedule from hell,
and it kept him from really
enjoying his semester.
This kind of class-loading
doesn’t just hurt your
performance in classes—it
has a pervasive impact on
the rest of your life. The
average Wash. U. student is
involved in student groups
outside the classroom. With
meetings for those organizations, the intensive levels of
studying that the majority
of Wash. U. classes require
and a constant schedule of
exams, projects and quizzes
(see the “midterm season”
phenomenon that dominates
Wash. U.), how can you possibly get enough sleep to get
through the semester? Jorge
was quick to validate my
hypothesis—on average, he
gets about six to seven hours
of sleep a night and is forced
to use weekends to catch up
on sleep (and homework).
It’s easy to see how an
intense class schedule can
make having a healthy,
balanced semester nearly
impossible. But, besides
the high potential for sleep
deprivation (and a messy,
unnatural sleep schedule),
most of us enjoy spending
time with our friends as
an outlet from the intense,
nonstop pace of Wash. U.
life. While I can’t speak from
experience, the math simply
doesn’t add up. If you
are taking a lot of classes,
balancing extracurriculars
and trying to sleep, I can’t
imagine how it’s possible to
maintain close relationships.
Jorge also reiterated how
challenging it has been this
semester to balance 19 credits and a healthy social life.
He says that the best he can
expect is to catch up with
friends over dinner, and that
as the semester has gone on,
he has had less and less time
to hangout with people on
weekends. Mostly, he tries to
catch up on sleep and work
ahead, which usually turns
out to be an impossible task.
At some point in a heavy
academic semester, the stress
of constantly working and
the lack of sleep these students get will have negative
effects. Whether that means
giving up an extracurricular,
dropping a class or foregoing
hangouts with friends, something will give. Worse, a
college student’s mental and
physical health can’t possibly hold under that much
stress. The consequences of
sleep deprivation are welldocumented in scientific
literature, and academic
stress is a known pressure on
students’ mental health.
The financial concerns of
attending Wash. U. are an
incredibly valid reason for
scheduling 15-plus credit
semesters. I don’t deny
that it’s necessary for some
people to load their schedule
so that they (or their parents)
can lessen the financial burden of going here. However,
your mental health (and
happiness) are extremely
crucial to your success at
college. Creating a work-life
balance at a college that
actively struggles to promote
such a culture is challenging.
Taking an average schedule
may only be part of a much
more complex solution to
achieving a healthy lifestyle
at our University. However,
the positive effects of having the time to do things
you want to do outside of
the classroom makes this
argument stand as a valid
alternative for students looking to achieve a work-life
balance.

$
185,868. That’s the
cost of Washington
University as a
member of the
class of 2018. Pretty high,
right? Actually, scratch
that. $185,868 is the cost of
attending this University if
you didn’t pay for housing
or food and if tuition never
increased, which of course
it does every year, and if you
didn’t have to pay for books
or a cap and gown and if you
literally only went to class
and never joined a different
student group.
If you’re a member of the
class of 2018, or any class
for that matter, you shouldn’t
expect to get out of this
University without putting at
least $250,000 down.
The traditional college
mindset advocates for relaxed
exploration: Try out a lot of
different things you might
want to do, but don’t overburden yourself, because this
is the last stage of your life
before the real world. Work
hard, play hard and just don’t
stress.
That mindset doesn’t
exist at Wash. U. This is the
land of double majors and
premeds and highly motivated people with a chip
on their shoulder; students
work harder, play a little bit
and stress every minute of
the day. But that’s not a bad
thing.
Considering the price
tag and the sheer amount
of opportunity here, why
shouldn’t we overburden
ourselves? While tuition
shouldn’t be the sole motivating reason, taking on too
much because you enjoy
what you’re doing and want
to make the most of your
time is a perfect use of time.
Tuition and room and
board is what gets you in the
door: It’s up to you to not
waste that time. That doesn’t
mean taking 21 credits every
semester; it could mean the
normal 15, but also joining
two or three groups and
taking leadership positions in
others.
During my time at Wash.
U., I’ve been one of those
people who does too much.
Wanting to double major
with a minor and graduate
early to save my family a
little bit of economic stress,
I’ve purposefully taken more
credits than average each
semester. That said, I didn’t
want to just do academics,
so I’ve joined a few different
groups based on my interests.
Peter argues on the other
side of the page that this
lifestyle is too stressful and
hurts outside relationships,
and honestly, he isn’t wrong.
I haven’t slept much since
being here and seeing my
friends has definitely required
more of an effort than it did
in high school, but it’s all
doable. I can’t reconcile having to pay over a quarter of a
million dollars to be here and
not doing all I can to lessen
that price tag while making
the most of it.
Demonizing the students
who think the same way I do
because it’s not a lifestyle you
agree with is frankly unproductive. If you want to take a
more balanced schedule and
have more time for fun, that’s
your choice and I understand
it. Personally, I know I can
do more and still balance
everything else and that’s my
choice. $185,868 is too much
money for me to justify slacking off, and somehow that’s
still an understatement.

the White House.
“I’ve done a couple of
sessions today,” Schultz
said. “This is the question I
keep getting.”
While the show might
have taken some liberties
with its portrayal of the
political process, Schultz
said it shines most in its
vision of the “esprit de
corps of the team working in the White House.
You’re with each other
sometimes 12, 14, 16 hours
a day—and when you’re
traveling, you’re with them
around the clock, sometimes for over a week—so
you learn that we’re a family, and I think that came
across in the show as well.”
Schultz’s model character from the show was
C.J. Cregg, and he said his
visit back to the Danforth
Campus was reminiscent
of an episode in which
C.J. attends a school
reunion. But he demurred
when asked whether Josh
Earnest, real-life White
House press secretary,
or C.J., his “West Wing”
counterpart, is better at
the job.
“C.J. was talented,”
Schultz said. “Josh is, I
think, one of the best press
secretaries I’ve ever seen in
the White House.”
And although “The West
Wing” is off the air and
now lives only in Netflix
binges and with a robust
online fan base, it—and
its successors in political
television—still serves as
a guide to realistic life in
D.C.
“There are many
moments in a day where
sometimes I feel like I’m
on a TV show,” Schultz
said. “Unfortunately,
sometimes it’s more like
‘Veep.’” (Thankfully,
Schultz told the Assembly
Series audience, his life has
never mimicked a “House
of Cards” episode).
He offered the example
of a senator who recently
enacted a slapstick
moment that could come
straight from the zany
comedy’s script. While
walking on a sidewalk in
D.C., Schultz said, this
senator had an unfortunate
encounter with a sandwich
board sign.
“She’s on the phone,
she’s on her Blackberry,
she’s doing lots of things
and she walks right into
the sign,” he said. “The
sign collapses. And she’s
all taken aback, and she
turns to her staff and she’s
like, ‘How did you let that
happen?’ [She] walked into
a sign!”
But don’t worry about
how he gets around,
Schultz added. After
all, for him, “Travel on
Air Force One is not as
burdensome as regular
commutes.”
Art in the Lou: Contemporary art and drone warfare at the Kemper
COURTESY OF JEAN PAUL TORNO
Installation view of ‘To See Without Being Seen: Contemporary Art and Drone Warfare’ at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum (Jan. 29–April 24, 2016).
DANIELLE LEVENTHAL
ART EDITOR
The Kemper Art
Museum’s current special
exhibition, “To See Without
Being Seen: Contemporary
Art and Drone Warfare,”
includes pieces from international artists that critique
drone warfare. Through the
use of videos, photography,
online art and installations, the artists share their
distressful findings on this
secretive practice by our
government and military.
The exhibition is a learning experience on the United
States’ use of unmanned
aerial vehicles to collect
information about the lives
of others globally and to
track, monitor and target
individuals. Furthermore,
the art in this show reveals
some of the imaging and
technology behind this
constant surveillance.
Last Wednesday night,
Chris Woods, author of
“Sudden Justice: America’s
Secret Drone Wars,” spoke
in Steinberg Auditorium, in
conjunction with the drone
exhibit. His recent book is
an expose into the world of
drone warfare, and his work
as an investigative journalist reveals the conflict of
drones and national security
issues. Woods won the
Martha Gellhorn Prize for
Journalism in 2013 and has
worked on many cases of
U.S. drone strikes.
In the very last few
minutes of Woods’ lecture, a
fire truck roared by outside
of Steinberg on Forsyth
Boulevard. It was ironic timing, as Woods had chosen
to end with a silent video of
Mosul, Iraq, a city known as
an Islamic State (ISIL) headquarters, that was attacked
about four weeks ago by the
U.S. Woods explained that
the city is still under occupation by ISIL and has been
for over two years.
More than 2 million civilians reside in Mosul, and it
has been bombed more than
anywhere else in our war
against ISIL.
“I thought I’d show
you the reality of the city
strikes,” Woods prefaced
the video by saying. “This is
what we do.”
The coalition’s own
propaganda video filled the
screen, showing the effect of
the bomb dropping on the
city from a bird’s eye view.
Although the video itself
was silent, the unplanned
wailing fire engine outside
of the art school could
not have had more perfect
timing to encapsulate the
danger and immediacy of
the issue he shared with the
Sam Fox School audience.
The bomb was dropped on
Mosul University, where
plenty of innocent students
and professors work.
The art in the Kemper
exhibition similarly acts as
a wake-up call to its visitors.
In the first section of the
show, entitled “Bringing
the War Home,” artists
disclose what it’s like to be
in a “home” where drones
are omnipresent, always
watching from above. The
daily paranoia that comes
with living in a targeted
area is expressed through
the artists’ use of vertical
perspective or the automatized bird’s eye view of the
U.S. military drones on top
of our own cities.
A total of 12 large black
and white photographs span
the first wall of the exhibition. Although titled “Blue
Sky Days,” Tomas van
Houtryve’s photojournalistic
works evoke anything but
pleasant outdoor vibes. The
pieces are taken with drone
cameras, providing the
viewer an understanding of
the drone’s field of vision,
the issues with its limited
perspective and the high, yet
rarely addressed, chances
that our drones kill innocent
civilians in these “targeted”
attacks. The name of the
piece was inspired by a 2013
quote from a Pakistani boy
who preferred gray skies
and feared blue-skied days,
since clear skies meant high
visibility for the drones flying above his city and higher
chances of death that day.
Woods’ talk touched on a
lot of the interviews that he,
too, was able to conduct in
writing his recent book. But
rather than quoting civilians
who spotted the drones
above them, he learned
from former CIA agents and
intelligence generals, who
anonymously spoke out
against the effects of drones.
While we may target
dangerous individuals and
are made to believe that
these are precise strikes
protecting our country, it
became clear from Woods’
many interviews that even
the special forces drone
operators and high-ranking
officials admit that what
we’re really doing with these
drones is killing many innocent people. The secrecy of
these side effects and the fact
that none of these deaths
are formally apologized
for by the government is a
point that comes up both in
the artwork and in Woods’
research.
“What kind of message is
it where we never acknowledge or apologize for the
innocents we kill, no matter
how noble our war ends,”
Woods asked of us.
In the second section
of the exhibition, titled
“Tracking and Targeting,”
artist James Bridle attempts
to publicize the true
consequences of drone
strikes with his project
“Dronestagram.” Bridle
follows the Bureau of
Investigative Journalism and
reports satellite images of
the drone strike locations
from Google Maps onto
his live Instagram account.
The information about these
strikes is broadcast on social
media through his use of
visual evidence and captions
which unveil the number
of civilian casualties. The
images themselves are as
blurry and warped as the
messages that the government rarely admits to the
public.
Bridle’s dissemination of
the truth on a constant feed
fights against the blockedoff nature of these military
activities. Visitors at the
exhibition can sit in the
installation space and view
these images individually
on the big screen or scroll
through the “Dronstagram”
account on the Kemper
Museum’s provided iPad.
A theme of perpetuating
these images that are usually so cloudy to the public
continues into the third section of the exhibition, called
“Countersurveillance.”
Mirroring the photojournalistic installation of
bird’s eye-view works by
Tomas van Houtryve, at
the entrance to the exhibition, a similarly ubiquitous
and wall-to-wall layout of
photographs brings the show
to a close.
Shinseungback
Kimyonghun’s “Cloud
Face” is a collection of
photographs of clouds, identified as human faces by the
face detection software that
drones use to target individuals. The soft, beautiful sky
landscapes that fill these
compositions are the opposite of what a human’s vision
would identify as violent and
dangerous. Kimyonghun’s
work hits the nail on the
head in terms of showing
how erroneous drone strikes
can be. How can a computerized algorithm act in
place of a human’s judgment
when other humans’ lives
are at risk?
The drone age is so
prevalent in our world, yet
so hidden from our contemporary understanding.
Experience the eyeopening installations
and immersive videos
for yourself by visiting
the exhibition before it
closes next week. “To
See Without Being Seen:
Contemporary Art and
Drone Warfare” is at the
Kemper Art Museum until
next Sunday, April 24.

Caroline Yoo
2017 | Fine Arts: Photography
I was the Worldwide
Photography Intern at
Paramount Pictures
in Hollywood, CA.
Enjoying some downtime
Liberty in North Korea
My passion: human rights activism
My career goal is to be at a point where I can sustain myself
off of the money I am making from my images and can wake up in the
morning knowing that I love going to work and doing what I do best.
My goal:
Getting started...
Bringing my story to life...
My internship take-away...
I was proactive. I think the
internship game is all about what
you make it. You could sit back and
watch Netflix or you could spend
those two hours searching for an
internship. Jen Meyer in the Career
Center helped me get ready for my
interview. It was over the phone and
I was a bit worried but she gave me
tips about what to watch out for in
the interview. For my experience
at Paramount, I saw the email from
the Career Center saying that
the deadline for the Paramount
internships was ending soon. I
had been applying for multiple
photo editing internships at other
companies and thought, why not
also apply to Paramount?
My experiences this summer really
drove home that I need to be on
the field working with my camera.
With Paramount, I learned so much
more than I could ask for about
the ins and the outs of the film
industry and what it is like working
for a huge corporate company. But
I also learned that experiencing
photography through a Mac screen
- editing and organizing - isn’t the
same as being out on the road,
or on a set with just me and my
camera. I had thought that if a
job included anything related to
photography, it would bring me
satisfaction simply because I love
the art. Yet the biggest thing I
learned is that I want to be the one
taking the photo instead of being
the one editing it.
Don’t box yourself in too early
in the search. Just because you
know you want to do something,
shouldn’t mean that you only
look for opportunities in that
field. I knew I wanted to be a
photographer since 10th grade but
my first internship at college was at
a non-profit working as a travelling
representative. It had nothing to
do with photography but I learned
the most about myself at that
internship. It was also the thing that
made me stand out from all the
other candidates when applying to
my next internship because I wasn’t
one of the others who only did
photography. Do things that you
want to do and things that you love
to do even if that might not be what
is technically on your career path.
Caroline’s advice: “It
really is about being proactive. Do whatever you can do make
the most of your experiences and always be on the lookout for more opportunities.”
