Several social work majors in the social policy class required of their major are participating in an optional day trip to Congress today as a follow-up to recently completing their bill advocacy assignment. The assignment required students to work with a partner and choose a bill of interest that is currently going through the Senate and House of Representatives. They were asked to research information about their bill and advocate for it. To gain support for their bills, several students are attempting to contact legisla- tors, but others are making attempts to gain support across the JMU campus. Matt Taylor, a senior social work major, is advocating the youth Prison Reduc- tion through Opportunities, Mentoring, Intervention, Support and Education Act, also known as PROMISE. This federally funded act would support youths who are at high risk for committing crimes. “I chose this bill simply because I have an interest in the prison system and its overcrowding. So I wanted to look at a bill that may contribute to lowering those rates,” Taylor said. Taylor is doing his part by working on creating a chapter at JMU for the Joined Youth Action Team, an organization he recently joined that fundraises and supports the Youth PROMISE Act and other related bills. Taylor and his partner sent out bulk emails to get people to sign their petition and also collected postcards from every- one in their class and sent them to their legislators. “If you remain voiceless in these policies, you can’t have any impact on the out- come,” Taylor said. “It’s like, yeah, it might not affect you directly, but indirectly, it will come back and affect you.” MATT SCHMACHTENBERG / THE BREEZE Matt Taylor and Marybeth Fox, social work majors, discuss their respective bills with social work professor Laura Trull. see BILL, page 4 NEWS opiNION LIE F SOP RTS 10/24 INSIDE 3 Learning in the sky 6 What a dumbell 9 Brew the day 11 S earching for success Wind turbine provides Fit mom’s “no excuses” Virginia breweries step up to Men’s soccer trying to students with a unique picture unfairly the plate and win awards for finish season strong classroom experience. points fingers. exceptional beer. despite struggles.

    “WHAT DON’T BLACK GIRLS DO?” : CONSTRUCTIONS OF DEVIANCE AND THE PERFORMANCE OF BLACK FEMALE SEXUALITY by KIARA M. T. HILL JENNIFER SHOAFF, COMMITTEE CHAIR UTZ MCKNIGHT RACHEL RAIMIST A THESIS In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Gender and Race Studies in the Graduate School of the University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2015 Copyright Kiara Monique Hill 2015 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This research interrogates the ways in which Black women process and negotiate their sexual identities. By connecting the historical exploitation of Black female bodies to the way Black female deviant identities are manufactured and consumed currently, I was able to show not only the evolution of Black women’s attitudes towards sexuality, but also the ways in which these attitudes manifest when policing deviancy amongst each other. Chapter 1 gives historical insight to the way that deviancy has been inextricably linked to the construction of Blackness. Using the Post-Reconstruction Era as my point of entry, I demonstrate the ways in which Black bodies were stigmatized as sexually deviant, and how the use of Black caricatures buttressed the consumption of this narrative by whites. I explain how countering this narrative became fundamental to the evolution of Black female sexual politics, and how ultimately bodily agency was later restored through sexual deviancy. Chapter 2 interrogates the way “authenticity” is propagated within the genre of reality TV. Black women are expected to perform deviant identities that coincide with controlling images so that the “authenticity” of Black womanhood is consumed by mainstream audiences.

  • Ripon School Investigation Turns up Carcinogens in the Soil Vapor
    View this email in your browser Subscribe • Advertise Tuesday, October 1, 2019 Volume 7 | Issue 191 Ripon School Investigation Turns Up Carcinogens in the Soil Vapor By Jim Fryer, Inside Towers Managing Editor The Modesto Bee and CBS’ KMAX-TV (“Good Day Sacramento”) both ran stories late last week finally exonerating the cell tower industry of being the cancer-causing agent in Weston Elementary’s school children. Inside Towers reported on the flap in March as a series of “experts” were dutifully quoted by various media outlets as to the harmful effects of tower-generated microwave emissions. The stories were subsequently picked up and used throughout the U.S. and the world (the London Examiner, for one) by local groups and residents fighting tower structures on school grounds. The monopole’s owner, Sprint, under pressure, took down the tower to appease residents. In May, the focus shifted away from towers as the groundwater in Ripon was tested by the Regional Water Board and found to contain high elements of TCE, a residual chemical from a Nestle’s factory that had been operating near the school. Further studies released earlier in September have cited the soil vapor containing PCE, a carcinogenic solvent found in dry-cleaning as a leading contributor to local cancer- causing occurrences. KMAX-TV said the PCE is not related to the Nestle’s plant but found near sewer pipes in the area. The report entitled the Interim Report on Soil Vapor and Groundwater Investigations Former Nestle Ripon Site by Hayley Aldrich was released by the school district on September 8.
