Page 4 February 20, 2014 EDITORIAL The Threefold Advocate Sochi problems The cycle never ends
THINK BEFORE YOU LAUGH
People all over America are laughing at Russia right now, with its two-toilets-per-stall restrooms, broken doorknobs and poor plumbing. Let’s face it: the Winter Olympics is Russia’s big chance to demonstrate its competence and technological capabilities to the world, and the country is blowing it. Those of us using these circumstances to mock the country are also blowing it. We The Threefold Advocate ask you to tone your laughter down. It’s demeaning. Rather than showing concern for a nation whose people drink fi lthy water, we laugh with the journalists who must deal with their hotel struggles for only two weeks—struggles that likely pale in comparison to what the majority of Russia’s people live with every day. We should not be so quick to scoff at Sochi’s hastily constructed buildings. According to the Human Rights Organization, workers preparing for the Olympics earned 55-80 rubles ($1.80 to $2.60) an hour, making an average salary of 14,00-19200 rubles ($455 to $605) each month. Many workers reportedly did not receive any pay whatsoever. It’s no wonder that Sochi seems somewhat thrust together. Roughly 884 million people in the world have no access to clean water. Three billion people—nearly half of the world—live on $2.50 a day. Hannah Bradford / The Threefold Advocate If we shouldn’t laugh at those statistics, how can we justify laughing when we read about the results of these problems in a country as developed as Russia?

Chelsea Spencer Staff Writer JBU TALENT SHOW 2014 [email protected] John Brown’s annual talent show is fast approaching. To preview the show, we interviewed three people involved about what their acts are and what they’re looking forward to.
Q: What are you most looking forward to in your first performance in the JBU Talent and Variety Show? CAMERON LAMBERT sophomore A: I’m excited to get to play a song for people that isn’t a worship song, because I don’t get to do that very often. I’m performing I SEE FIRE by ed sheerah excited to actually get to do a performance instead of lead worship. It’s a lot different because people don’t really give with aleah eldridge, kaity carlson, luke dinger, you a whole lot of space for creative freedom when you are doing a worship set, but when you are doing a song that’s stephen lague and luke hogan not explicitly for worship, then you can play your guitar really loud and slam on the drums and do that kind of stuff, so it’s really fun.
Q: Why did you chose this song? A: We had a different song in mind, but one of our friends is kind of obsessed with Ed Sheeran, so when the Hobbit came out, he showed us the song, and we both really liked it. It was a song that we both knew was really popular and was newer. It was a song that we thought people would know better than the other song that we were going to do, and we had a really cool idea of how to make it our own, which is what we did.
Q: Have you performed in the JBU Talent and Variety Show before? SETH KAYE senior A: I have been in the talent show every year that I have been here, actually. I am a senior. I have won something every performing STAY ALIVE by jose gonzalez year, too. I don’t know if I plan to win something this year. All I know is that it’s going to be fun. All I can ask for is that with jonathon estes, mariah shaw, luke pascoe, it will be enjoyable, and that my mom cries. The Talent Show has always been fun, because I have always gotten to be steve sullivant and jeff branson in good groups. Q: What is one reason that you wanted to be in the talent show this year? A: The real reason I’m doing the talent show is so that my mom will cry; because, I’m a senior, and she has to cry. It has to be really sentimental.
Q: What are you most looking forward to in your performance this year in the JBU Talent Show? JULIA THEISEN freshman A: I’m just excited about getting to play and other people getting to hear it. We put a lot of work into it! It’s exciting performing WHEN I LOOK AT YOU by miley cyrus that other people are going to get to listen to that and enjoy that. with betsy burns, felicia sisco and alejandro ruales Q: What part of your act are you most proud of? A: Well, we just kind of threw it together. We took a song that people already knew, but we were able to make it our own and use what we had, the vocals we had and the instruments that we had to put that together. Alejandro is singing some of the song in Spanish, and Felicia is just fantastic. They sound so good together. Putting it all together is neat, and it’s unique. Senior cherishes last scenes at JBU

8. Hamlin makes Luge history Germany has dominated luge in Sochi, winning gold in every event. Erin Hamlin became the fi rst American to medal in luge in winning a bronze 6 in women’s singles.
