The Berkeley Beacon Emerson College’s student newspaper since 1947 • berkeleybeacon.com Thursday September 29, 2016• Volume 70, Issue 4 Emerson College ushers in Good Samaritan Policy Bret Hauff, Beacon Staff

To encourage students to seek help when they need it, Emerson will no lon- ger contact students’ guardians or require formal conduct hearings when they report unsafe substance use to ensure the wellbe- ing of themselves or peers. Emerson announced the Good Samar- itan policy this semester, a reimagination of the Medical Amnesty Policy imple- mented seven years ago, to realign the col- lege’s procedures with the administration’s concern for student safety, according to Abigail Erle, assistant director of commu- nity standards and conduct and Alcohol and Other Drugs Task Force co-chair. Since 2009, the college has offered the Medical Amnesty Policy as an avenue for on-campus students concerned about a peer’s safety when using alcohol or other drugs to call for help without penalty. Last semester, the AOD Task Force, including representatives from various departments across the college, met to address problems in the policy raised by students. As the Beacon wrote in an edi- torial last year, some felt that the old poli- cy wasn’t perfect: Individuals who sought help were required to attend an official conduct hearing, and their legal guardian would be notified of the incident. Erle said the parent contact policy, spe- cifically, could deter students from seeking help. “There was a perceived disconnect with our policy,” Erle added. “Because we weren't talking about it, students maybe thought we were preaching abstinence.” Annelle Kallman, substance abuse Laura Owen, Annelle Kallman, and Abigail Erle. • Cassandra Martinez / Beacon Staff See Alcohol page 2 THE FEATURE Fenway folks protest Schmearing toward success Emerson extension Grads take a bite out of the bagel biz Nathanael King, Beacon Staff Gretchen Kuhsel, Beacon Staff do no wrong in people’s eyes and people In a protest last Thursday outside of Every graduation card has the same are very appreciative of you,” Schreiber the Walker Building, about 10 members "The col- sappy Dr. Seuss line of “Oh, the places said. “But, I would go home at the end of of the Fenway community voiced their you’ll go,” reminding eager graduates that the day and look at myself and think, ‘I am opposition to Emerson’s plans to lease a lege is sometimes life takes unexpected direc- an adult snack provider’—which isn’t par- residential building to house 115 students tions.

Lee Pelton has big plans for the expansion of the college. opinionThe Berkeley Beacon September 29, 2016 5 The Berkeley Beacon September 29, 2016 5 Debate discourse fails to break the cycle Shelby Grebbin Grebbin is a sophomore journalism major and the opinion editor of the Beacon.

The first presidential debate between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and real-estate mogul Donald Trump was the moon landing of our generation. Like a glassy-eyed child glued to the morning cartoons, the world was enraptured by two figures that were incongruous, almost alien-like to the American narrative. The first figure was a man whose lack of polit- ical experience is indicative of his inability to handle a job that has been reserved only for men for centuries. The second was a woman who is, quite simply, more than prepared for a task that has never been available to her. The popular opinion seems to be that we’ve landed on the moon—a victory for feminists. Hillary has the nomination. Her comments in the first debate were com- posed and calculated, especially compared to that of her rambling opponent. The the- ory goes that if Clinton is elected, she only needs to assume the office—a small, big step—and the opportunities for women to move up the economic ladder will skyrock- et. I fear that it will not be so simple. In the United States, we tend to check off our boxes and move on. We have the most powerful military in the world. Check. We have a free market, national parks, and Hollywood. Check.

Aside from the $5,000 grant award- ed by the Sun Valley Film Festival, “Re/ Collection” is entirely financed through Kickstarter. As of this week, Correa and Konstantopoulos reached their goal of $20,000. The directors have been working with a producer in Los Angeles and one in Idaho. “We started the production process before we finalized funding,” Correa said. “Casting, location scouting, production design, mood boards, all that has been happening.

Nicole Cooper, Beacon Correspondent

With a new event series on the rise, Emerson’s literary magazines aim to bring writers together like never before. Throughout the year, the Emerson Re- view, Stork, and Concrete Literary Mag- azine will be hosting a monthly Tuesday Night Reading Series, where writers can showcase their personal work. The first installment took place this week when around 15 enthusiastic listeners gath- ered together in a classroom at the Ansin building. The intimate event exhibited four writers whose work ranged from po- etry to short story excerpts. Kaylee Anzik, a senior writing, litera- ture, and publishing major, and co-edi- tor-in-chief for Stork Magazine, said these readings were created as a way for student writers to network and feel united in the Emerson community. “That’s why we’re collaborating with the other magazines and trying to do events, so that people can have a space in which they interact with other people who are doing the same things,” she said. “Often, writing can become this really isolating process.” Anzik’s co-editor-in-chief, Richie Wheelock, also a senior writing, literature and publishing major, agreed with her. Wheelock said events like the reading series can help new students establish role models in the writing community. He said that while attending similar events as a reader at Stork, this reading helped him feel a sense of unity between the literary magazines at Emerson. “It was good to hear that there were other magazines out there and we were all doing similar things, but also different, and just getting to know those people,” he said. “I liked getting that out of it, and I Students reading their work at the first Tuesday Night Reading Series.• Mackenzie Blalock / Beacon Correspondent want to help do that for others.” "We want Cara DuBois, a senior writing, lit- etry … so you get a taste of all different Anzik said that she hopes the event will explained that the monthly readings can erature, and publishing major, and the to bring things,” said DuBois. encourage students to get involved with be enjoyable even if you aren’t personally managing editor of Concrete Literary [the literary Ashley Howard, a junior writing, litera- the literary magazines. interested in writing.
