•mm IM p. KENNED* "We're Living In A Science Fiction Nightmare

LS part of the 125th Anniversary celebration of the founding of Rollins College, Nov, 4 at 7:30 p.m., Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. spoke at the Alfond Sports Center about the importance of energy independence and sustainable enterprise. This event, sponsored by the Winter Park Institute and titled "Green Gold Rush: A Vision for Energy Inde­ pendence, Jobs, and National Wealth," attracted students, parents, faculty, and alumni, Kennedy has been fighting for environmental justice for decades through his work as senior attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, chief prosecuting at­ torney for the Hudson Riverkeeper, and president of Waterkeeper Alliance. He has written books and has published articles in a variety of well-renowned magazines and newspapers including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and Rolling Stone. After announcing that he was "really happy to be here at Rollins," Kennedy dove right into the broader issues of environmental policy. He stated that as a country we need to recognize "that nature is the infrastructure of our community." He compared the crisis facing the world over switching to non-carbon energy sources to the debate over the end of the slave trade in the United Kingdom. A few hundred years ago, Parliament debated how to end slavery, with the fear that if abol­ ished overnight, the economy would collapse. Eventually, the slave trade was abol­ ished (literally overnight), and rather than collapse, Britain's economy soared to new heights when the Industrial Revolution took its place. Kennedy went on to discuss the United States' astronomical oil addiction. The U.S. sends close to $1 billion a day to countries we do not like for oil. Trillions in sub­ sidies go to oil industry each year. All of the money that is being poured into oil and coal is only digging the United States into a deeper hole. Every freshwater fish in the United States contains high levels of mercury that make them too dangerous to eat. Corporations are cutting down and blowing the tops off of the Appalachian Mountains in order to strip the coal from the inside. Kennedy described the current situation as "living in a science fiction nightmare." Kennedy then described the benefits of using non-carbon based energy. Many countries across the world including Iceland, , Brazil and Costa Rica de-carbonized in recent years and are almost all 100 percent energy efficient. They have saved millions of dollars and are some of the few countries that are flourishing in the global recession. A 75-by-75=mile grid on solar panels in the desert in the West will sustain 100 percent of America's power needs. There is already enough wind power in three states to power all of North America three times over. The issue with these sources of energy is that there is no grid system to distribute this energy across the country. Kennedy proposes that the government needs to create this grid system because once it is in place, the United States will have unlimited energy. "We will have an infrastructure that will give free energy forever," he said. Kennedy ended his presentation with a warning against the multinational corporations that are benefiting from the oil industry. He stated that in a "true free market, you cannot make yourself rich without making others rich as well." These oil companies do not make the people of the U.S. richer, but rather make them poorer. He ended with a quote from Alexis de Tocqueville, saying, "America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great." Annamarie Carlson The Sandspur

November 12, 2010

n Nov. 5, All Campus Events (ACE), Alumni Relations and the Athletics Department came together to run the second annual Rally Rollins. The Rally kicked off at 8 p.m. in the Alfond Sports Center with the evening's host, Tonya Aaron 13, running up and down the length of the gym, pumping up the crowd to get them in a more spirited mood. Along with music and a constant stream of amusing banter between Aaron and the assembled Tar supporters, there was also a performance from the Rollins Dance Team and a special showing of the winning videos from the Great Con­ nections Student Video Contest. ACE also played a video that its members created which depicted Rollins athletics over the course of its 125 years as an institution. Assistant Director of Student Involvement and Leadership Jerrid Kalakay explained that the idea of a Rollins rally had been in the works for three years and this particular event had taken three months of planning. Of course, he and the other members of ACE added that this year's Rally Rollins had the extra responsibility of joining the rest of the school in helping Rollins to celebrate its 125th birthday. "We just wanted to celebrate 125 years of sports, athletes, history and pride," ACE member Katie Powell '12 said before the Rally began. It was quite the celebration, complete with a tribute to the senior athletes and multiple rounds of spirit games, during which individuals and classes competed for different prizes. Nate Burns '13 won the individual dance contest (and two Orlando Magic tickets!), while the class of 2014 was victorious in out-spiriting everyone else in the gym. "This is to get people excited about being a part of Rollins," another ACE member added. To help excite the students and their families, various members of ACE and other helpers ran through the crowd, tossing around blue and gold pom­ poms and the traditional Tar hats. To finish off the evening, comedian Jeff O'Shea took the stage and provided ample humor for Rally attendees. All in all, the second Rally Rollins was a success; the crowd cheered the whole time and need­ less to say, everyone enjoyed themselves. Kalakay's closing comment was just as spirited as the actual rally. "With Rally Rollins, we are celebrating our wonderful 125 year history and the promise of Rollins tomorrow," he said.
