CAMPUS in VIEWPOINTS Survey: Students support new TMB renovations Daniel Mayes Editor-in-Chief Meet the Newbies: A message from new Sports Editor The Food Court inside the Theron Montgomery Building at JSU received some updates and Baylee Morris Page 3 renovations over the summer, and, according to a survey conducted by The Chanticleer, the majority of JSU students are in favor of the changes. Among the new changes to the TMB are an up- dated Chick-fil-a with a more traditional restau- rant style layout, some added menu options at in ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Freshens Fresh Food Studio, and new retail location Mein Bowl. Of students who responded to the survey, 60.6% said they either liked or strongly liked the new renovations, with 22.5% saying they disliked or strongly disliked the changes. 16.9% said they were indifferent. The new Coke Freestyle machines Collider.com are one of the most popular additions to New Spider-Man game swings the TMB, with 67.2% of students say- to success ing they liked the new beverage options. Page 5 The updated layout at Chick-fil-a (56.9%) and new tables and floor setup (63.8%) are also among the most popular changes. However, the changes weren’t entirely well received among JSU students. in SPORTS While most students said they like the new addition of Mein Bowl, they didn’t want to give up Baja Express or the Simply to Go in exchange. 66.2% of students said they did not like the absence of Baja, and one even wrote “#BringBackBaja” when given the chance to provide an additional comment on the survey. “While the TMB looks much ore nice and modern, it’s convenience and ease was lost. The full-service Chick-fil-a is great but the amount of time and length of the line is always very long,” one student responded. “Especially since only one register does debt cards. I don’t feel the upgraded look was worth the inconvenience.” While Students are divided on some aspects of the new changes to the TMB, most agree JSU puts up 71 points against that, overall, the new renovations will be something students can be proud of for years to MVSU come.

The Chanticleer September 13, 2018 3 Viewpoints Meet the Newbies: A message from new Sports Editor Baylee Morris

Baylee Morris Sports Editor Are you ready for some football, basketball, baseball, softball and more? Well I’m your girl. I guess I should introduce myself before I get too carried away.

The name is Baylee Brett Morris and I’m the new sports editor for The Chanticleer. I’m a senior in the communication department here at Jacksonville State University. My days are never dull, from class, to writing sports articles, or editing for TV 24. Sports have been a part of my life since I was born. My focus is in broadcasting where one day I hope all of you beautiful people can see me on ESPN, Fox Sports, or even the NFL Network.

When I am not on campus at JSU, I am down at TV 24 in Oxford where I’m the Editor of the news. Also, on Friday nights I go out and shoot multiple football games. After those games, I run the au- dio board for the Pigskin Roundup, one of the best post game foot- ball shows in the state of Alabama. (Okay I may be a little biased)

This year I hope to write the sports as they are meant to be reported as well as bringing light to the less popular sports such as volleyball, soccer, golf, and track. Because, ladies and gentlemen, I’ll tell you there are some diamonds in the rough, and they need the spotlight as well. So be sure to pick up a copy or go to our Facebook page every Thursday to check out the latest in Jacksonville State sports news.

ALBUM REVIEW Rainier Fog is chained down in the middle JP Wood A&E Writer

Alice In Chains’ Rainier Fog is their long awaited sixth studio album, and the follow up to 2013’s The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here. Released just three days after what would’ve been original vocalist Layne Staley’s 51st birthday, it is their third album with replacement co-vocalist William Duvall. Rainier Fog delivers more of the Duvall- era Alice in Chains sound that we’ve come to expect, while retaining the vintage Alice In Chains sound that they’ve had since their heyday in the early 90s. I had to listen to this album through a few times to really get a read on it, mostly because a large chunk of the album is insignificant filler. It opens strong, with lead single The One You Know and it’s absolutely nasty, grungy, sludgy opening riff and some really great vocal harmonies between Duvall and Jerry Cantrell in the chorus. This track is Alice in Chains at their best. The title track, Rainier Fog is up next. AiC’s tribute to the Seattle grunge scene is fast paced and has an infectiously catchy verse. Red Giant is track number 3 and rounds out the album’s strong start. One of the better songs on the album, Red Giant features great vocals, lyrics and guitar. From there, the album really takes a dip in memorable songs. It does have its moments through the middle though. Fly and Drone

is more vintage AiC and will appeal to the more hardcore fans but courtesy of aliceinchains.com the tracks really start to run together here. However, the album provides a nice, strong 3 track close-out starting with what may be the best song on the album, So Far Under. This song is heavy, grungy, and has an insanely memorable chorus. Never Fade follows, and is William Duvall’s tribute to Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, and his own grandmother. Never Fade is one of the more up-tempo songs on the album. Cantrell and Duvall trade vocalist duties and the song turns out as one of the few really stand out moments of the album. All I Am closes the album with a slow, 7 minute showcase of strong songwriting, guitar and vocals that does it’s job as an album closer and nothing more. Overall, Alice In Chains did a great job at releasing a grunge album in a year where grunge is essentially long gone. AiC and grunge fans overall will like this album, because it certainly isn’t bad. Those first 3 tracks, as well as Never Fade, and So Far Under really bring

something great to the overall Alice In Chains catalog. But as a whole, courtesy of metalheadzone.com Rainier Fog is way too chained down by forgettable filler. The Chanticleer September 13, 2018 5 Arts & Entertainment GAME REVIEW New Spider-man Swings to success

Sean Collier A&E Writer

It is no secret that Spider-Man has a huge fanbase. It’s also known that the video games with the witty webswinger are hit or miss with the fans as well. In 2016, Insomniac Games announced that they were making a brand new Spider-Man game exclusively for the Playstation 4. Many people were excited, but it also raised concerns. Due to previous games such as The Amazing Spider-Man 2, people didn’t want to deal with poorly executed mechanics and weak storytelling. They don’t just want to play as Spider-Man or Peter Parker. They want to be them. Insomniac Games are known for their previous games such as Sunset Overdrive and another Playstation exclusive, Rachet and Clank. They have been praised for making Courtesy of Playstatiolifestyle.net such unique and colorful games. With the in such a great way.
