Seattle U Students Choose To Live On Campus
Or Leave Rudys Nest
Naja Johnson
News Editor
F
ebruary of winter quarter is an important
month for many students on campus,
as the second month of the quarter and
when midterms occur. It’s also the month
when students begin to select their housing
assignments for next year.
Freshmen have the choice of living in
the on-campus residence halls Campion,
Bellarmine and Xavier. Students choosing
housing for their sophomore year can pick
between these options as well as Chardin
Hall, the Murphy Apartments, Vi Hilbert
Hall or the Douglas Apartments. Then
there are students who live off campus,
through independent living options such as
renting apartments not affiliated with
the university, or staying with family.
A determining factor for students to decide
to live o campus is the cost of living and
allocation of resources for students.
Zooey Redmond, a third-year history
major, resides o campus for the current
school year and plans to continue living
o campus for the remainder of her time at
Seattle University. Redmond rents a condo
with roommates and has not lived on campus
since her sophomore year.
Redmond chose to seek out o-campus
living situations aer being waitlisted by the
housing committee on campus.
“I was going to apply to on-campus
housing as a backup cause I was in the early
stages of guring out o-campus housing
when I had to apply for it. But they had no
housing for me to choose from. They put
me on the waitlist, but it was kind of like
if they don’t have enough housing for
students, this is the sign I need to look for
housing o campus,” Redmond said.
Redmond also discussed the housing rates
on campus and how that weighed on her
choosing to live o campus.
A large part of it is on-campus housing is
so expensive. I lived in a triple both years I
was on campus,” Redmond said.
Redmond also shared some of the benets
she has living o campus.
The benets of where I live specically
are that I have a full kitchen and I have my
own room. It’s ve minutes from campus.
The best thing is the in-unit washer and
dryer, I don’t miss having to ght
50 freshmen for the washers and
dryers in Campion,” Redmond said.
Overall, Redmond is pleased with
her decision to live o-campus.
“It's a really good deal and I live
with people I like,” Redmond said.
In the middle, there are students
who are torn between living on
campus or living o.
Darlene Tumbaga, a third-year
forensic psychology major and
student from out of state, weighed in
on what's leaving her undecided about where
to live next year.
Tumbaga explained her main reason to
live o campus would be because it would
give her the most accommodation as an
out-of-state student, and because she is
looking for permanent residence.
“Being an out-of-state student, it's just
so much easier for me to stay here during
the summer and start networking. Its so
competitive being in the city,” Tumbaga said.
Tumbaga is not yet entirely ready to
say goodbye to her home away from
home on campus.
“I love having a meal plan, it's lowkey
free money. I wouldn’t have to work for the
money as much to buy groceries and food.
My backup situation would be to live in the
Murphy Apartments,” Tumbaga said.
Feb. 20, Tumbaga along with thousands of
other undergraduates will make a selection
about their housing options and then receive
their housing assignments.
A student who isn’t as concerned about
housing is Second-year Environmental
Studies Major Daniel Herre. He is currently
living in the Murphy Apartments and
plans to live in Vi Hilbert Hall next school
year with a roommate.
Herre had an unconventional
backstory for his decision to live in Vi
Hilbert Hall next year.
“I chose it because the person I wanted
to be roommates with filled out an a
pplication before me and I was able to
slide in,” Herre said.
Herre is condent that he will be satised
with his choice next year.
To be honest I don’t know what they look
like, nor have I been in them. But it will be
nice to have more space, I am comfortable
where I am right now,” Herre said.
Herre has described his experience with
housing as overall positive but he does
agree with Redmond about the high
costs of living on campus.
“It’s been positive… It's mostly just the cost,
Murphy is pretty expensive and so is Vi but
the quality has been ne,” Herre said.
As the deadline for housing decisions
rapidly approaches, students must weigh
the pros and cons of various housing
options and make an important decision
about where they will be living for the next
academic school year.

Laptops Down, How Does Seattle U Feel About
Tech In Class?
T
he use of technology in classrooms
has been on the rise since the early
2000s. However, there is still a push
to reduce the use of electronics in the
classroom at the university level, due to the
distractions it may cause.
University professors are changing class
policies to evolve the use of technology. Some
professors at Seattle University have been
leaning toward the use of older conventional
means, such as notebooks.
Wai-Shun Hung, associate professor in
the philosophy department, believes that
using technology in his lectures is more
of a distraction than a tool for success in
notetaking. In the past, he’s attempted to
implement technology in lectures; however,
he has been met with less student engagement.
Hung has tried multiple techniques to allow
the use of technology in the class outside of
certain circumstances, such as disability
services. However, he still had two major
concerns. The rst was the use of online
materials; he found that students engage less
with online materials, unlike physical copies,
such as highlighting or writing notes on paper.
The second issue he noticed is that students
retain information better using physical
copies and notes instead of online material.
“Based on my experience of exams and
papers, they [students] typically perform
better when taking notes by hand. I've looked
up some research, and I've shared those
results with students to explain my policy,
and it seems that student people can take
more notes with keyboards. Because they type
faster than they write, and the result is that
they pay less attention. The typing process
seems to require less attention than writing so
it aects attention and retention,” Hung said.
Other professors agree with this reasoning.
However, they approach it dierently.
Thomas Mann, a visiting assistant
teaching professor in the political science
department at Seattle U, allows the use of
technology in his class. He trusts that
students who use their devices in lectures use
them for educational procedures and that
they gently benet from it.
Mann believes students should be
conscious of their decision to use technology
in the classroom. He believes students have to
make judgments for themselves
when determining if using
technology does help.
He talked about how
students should learn to be
more aware of their resources
and how they impact their
learning. Mann gives room for
his students to make their own
decisions and decide what is
best for themselves.
You are an adult, and much
like this is why I don't really
have pop quizzes and things
like that. Because I'm like if
you don't do the reading, ne.
But you're spending a lot of
money to be in this classroom,” Mann said.
On top of the conscious use of technology
in class, Mann talks about how we can use
tech to be better workers; but not to think
critically. Mann has talked about how articial
intelligence has proven to be more detrimental
to higher education than benecial.
A study Mann shared made by Microso
and Carnegie Mellon University shows using
articial intelligence at work lowers workers
cognitive eort. Workers felt more condent
in their ability to use generative AI for tasks
that require low critical thinking. He is against
artificial intelligence as he believes that
higher education is the place for students
to learn and use active thinking.
Liesl Marshall, a fourth-year nursing
major, talked about how she agrees with
the studies released on how handwriting
notes are better for retaining information.
However, she prefers the use of her
tablet as it contains OneNote, which is
convenient for her note-taking.
Marshall would, however, face an issue
with some professors who would have strict
class policies for electronics.
“I have had one or two professors,
particularly UCOR professors, who
have been very against technology,
like don't take out your laptops kind
of thing. You have to bring a notebook
and take notes with a pen and pencil.
Usually, when I approach them like, ‘Hey, is it
ok if I handwrite it on an iPad?’ Sometimes
they're like, ‘Ok, but you have to sit in the
front row, and I have to be able to see you
when you're using it,” Marshall said.
Marshall also shared how the use of AI
has helped her with her education in a more
productive way. She uses AI more as a tool
rather than a replacement for her work.
The use of technology in classrooms,
whether with note-taking or AI, seems to rely
on student etiquette and established personal
norms. These etiquettes depend on the ways
the user uses their tools, either beneting
their education or deterring it.

Seattle U Students Survive Another Quarter Of
Midterms
W
inter quarter has arrived at Seattle
University, and with week six already
nearly past, many students have just come
out on the other side of midterm season. Be it
tests, essays, group projects or presentations,
many students have spent the past few weeks
cramming in the hours to protect a large
percentage of their overall course grades.
Bella Villareal-Elizondo, a second-
year biology major, recently completed
two midterms, one for organic chemistry
and bioinformatics.
“It was really awful to study for, the
midterm itself was ne,” Villareal-Elizondo
said, referring to bioinformatics. “The
O-Chem exam was how you would expect
an O-Chem exam to be, that one was awful.
I hate midterms, quote me on that.
Villareal-Elizondo shared that she
spent around four to five hours a day s
tudying for her midterms for a week
leading up to the test, adding up to around
35 total preparation hours.
She also shared that the quarter
system compounds the stress and
frequency of midterms.
“I feel like a thing with the quarter
system is that were constantly in midterms,
which I think is a really big difference
from the semester system. I feel like I
don’t ever get a break,” Villareal-Elizondo
said. “I feel like everything revolves around
midterms and exams with the quarter
system. Everything matters so much more so
I feel like its more stressful.
Aurora Dunn, a rst-year environmental
studies major, agreed that the fast pace
of the quarter system makes midterms
especially dicult. She had a timed in-class
essay as well as a traditional test and an
essay due for her midterms.
“Because everything's in such a short
stretch of time especially for winter quarter
since we don’t have as many breaks, it kind
of just feels like you don’t have any relaxed
time with school,” Dunn said. “You get into it,
you’re immediately preparing for midterms,
you do your midterms, and then you’re
immediately preparing for nals. That’s what
the experience has been like for me so far.
Aicha Toure, a second-year psychology
and English double major, had large essay
assignments as opposed to tests. She
only had one midterm for Encountering
American Literature, which involved
writing multiple literary analyses as well
as a comparative analysis between two
texts read so far in the quarter.
“I got like a 96, so that was pretty good, but
it was so much work,” Toure said.
Toure’s biggest diculty was balancing work
on midterms with numerous extracurriculars,
including editing for the Seattle University
Undergraduate Research Journal and
participating in Ethics Bowl. For students
active in clubs or other extracurricular
activities, the added workload of midterms
can be especially dicult.
Toure explained that she actually prefers
midterm tests as opposed to essays or
other projects which are more common
in humanities classes.
“If I’m gonna get a midterm, please make
it a test. Ill study, Ill take it, and it’s over, as
opposed to writing an essay there’s just so
much more stress going into it because it’s
more like youre producing something instead
of just remembering things,” Toure explained.
She also questioned the necessity of
midterms in certain humanities classes.
“Midterms can feel a little bit pointless
unless it comes into the natural ow of the
class. When Im taking a biopsych class it
makes sense for us to have a midterm because
it’s the end of that portion of what we’re
learning and hes making sure we’ve got it
because we can’t do the later stu unless we
understand this. Whereas with an American
Lit class, we’re reading things all quarter, and
we’re already doing short papers throughout
the quarter so she knows where we’re at, so a
midterm just feels unnecessary,” Toure said.
Dunn nds anxiety in the midterm season.
As the brutal mid-quarter exams bear down
on students, changes interfere with routines,
mental health and students’ social lives.
When a large percentage of ones grade stems
from a week of work amid a bevy of other
commitments, it can be challenging to ground
oneself as a student. Professors do not seem to
be considering an end to middle of the term
assessments, assignments or exams any time
soon, so this intermediate burden will persist
for the time being.

[OPINION] Oversexed and Underwhelmed
Naja Johnson
News Editor
Since the beginning of television, young
adults and young adolescents alike have been
objectied and hypersexualized in lm and
media, especially female characters. Since the
early 2000s, its been on the rise and there has
been a lack of genuine connections between
love interests in films and a particular
emphasis on sex—a lack of emotional
chemistry, but a plethora of sexuality.
Currently, the Gen Z population along with
myself is ready for change.
A study conducted by UCLA in 2023
concluded that 47% of viewers ranging from
ages 10-24 observed there was too much sex
in plotlines for shows and movies. There
has been a push to explore more platonic
relationships and genuine friendships. Aside
from the study, people are bored by “friends
with benets” and the storylines of “casual”
hookups for high schoolers.
In September, Ryan Murphy once again
plagued my screen with another miniseries,
Grotesquerie, a murder mystery and thriller
set in a small town on the outskirts of Los
Angeles. Two of the side characters, Father
Charlie Mayhew and Sister Meghan Duval,
engage in an unfathomable and deeply
salacious aair. The aair, along with other
deviant behaviors of the characters, is so
bizarre and unnecessary that it distracts
from the storyline. My point is that plotlines
oversaturated with sex corrupt the narrative
and distract from the overall story.
Today there are fewer teen icks centered
around young love and teenagers experiencing
a real romance. Now there are more plots
about transactional relationships where sex
is characterized as a tool or bargain, rather
than intimacy for a couple.
A movie that presents a more accurate
and appropriate depiction of a healthy
relationship and intimacy is Dogght, in
which a Marine explores an unconventional
romance with a waitress. As a critic, I observed
that this older lm has genuine language
and communication, which are often
absent from the dialogue in todays lms.
I also noticed a sense of respect and
communication between the characters. They
put in the eort to meet their own needs while
also meeting their partners satisfaction. In
contemporary lm, there is a strong focus on
the physicality of sex, while the emotional
aspect is oen neglected.
A bigger issue for young adolescents
who are being exposed to sexually charged
material is it may be clouding their judgment
and setting the tone for how lots of young
adolescents view sex. Titles like Euphoria and
The Politician, both have an emphasis on teens
and young adults exploring sex. Still, I didn’t
see the same effort
put into exploring
consent and
boundaries.
Coming from
someone
who w as
a teenager
not long
ago and had
no business
watching Euphoria
at 15, I observed a
lot of issues with the
plotlines. To elaborate,
in Euphoria one of the main
characters, Maddy Perez, is
groomed as a teen by a 40-year-
old man. It's characterized in the plot
as socially acceptable since she “was in
control,” which in retrospect, was victim
blaming if I’ve ever seen it. Another plotline
in the show is the male lead and antagonist
Nate Jacobs has a distorted perception of sex
due to being exposed to his fathers sex tapes
at a young age. Additionally, he’s an incel
who vehemently hates women, seeing them
as commodities aer observing his parents
strained and failing marriage.
For viewers, these two characters were a
lot to compartmentalize and process. A lot
of viewers who thought the portrayal of the
two characters were accurate and thought
Nate and Maddy were accurate portrayals of
real teenagers in America. Looking back, both
characters were extremely hypersexualized
and exposed to lots of trauma at the hands
of their negligent parents.
The reason this is so prominent in
Hollywood and the film industry is the
popular saying that “sex sells.” The statement
has been applied to a lot of characters and
storylines in television, as a widespread
method to sell and showcase characters
in adherence to the male gaze. In lm this
ideology is rooted in the perception of the
male gaze, translating to a character's identity
being rooted in their sex appeal.
Honestly, I am fed up and need to see a
change yesterday.
I am at the age where when I watch a
show or movie I can tell whether or not the
character was written by a woman or man
depending on how they are characterized.
Are they stereotypical? Hypersexualized? Too
emotional? Too withdrawn? That tells me all
I need to know.
I am not saying that we need to eradicate
sex
from television, but I
think we need to
reevaluate how
it's conveyed to
prospective
audiences.
O v e r
the years
there have
been some
advancements
such as the
incorporation of
intimacy coordinators
on sets for shows and
writers are more receptive
to critique from audiences. For
sex positivity to work in practice it
needs to be more positive than harmful
to audiences.
Nevertheless, Gen Z desires something
else in Hollywood because the storylines are
getting profoundly mediocre and have grown
to distort the minds of the current generation.
The characters are awed but also unrealistic
and viewers analyzing these characters
for accuracy are in for a rude awakening.
What is needed is for writers to listen to the
audience when they give a critique about the
problematic storylines and to do better for
their viewers. They should stop ramping up
the shock value and create characters that
actually represent their audiences.

As the northern hemisphere begins
the slow crawl toward spring, Seat-
tle winter is holding on tight. So
far, February has seen multiple instances
of snow and ice placing much of the Puget
Sound under a Cold Weather Advisory
due to the freezing conditions. For some,
the cold weather may be little more than a
nuisance. However, for over 16,000 people
in King County currently experiencing
homelessness, winter can bring potentially
deadly struggles.
Last year, a similar streak of cold weather
led to the deaths of at least ve homeless
individuals in the Seattle area. While winters
in the Pacic Northwest are oen consid-
ered mild, they come with higher levels
of rain and moisture than other parts of
the country. This damp environment can

really bad in Seattle,” Schroeder said. “Like,
we had wildres while I was living outside,
and it wasn't very helpful to hear them say to
close your windows and stay indoors. We're
just literally out there breathing that air, and
then it just gets so hot that until the sun goes
down you can't even get back in your tent.
As rates of homelessness steadily increase,
so do extreme temperatures as a result of
climate change. Despite this known issue,
Schroeder and other individuals seeking shel-
ter oen struggled to nd resources that could
keep them safe and help them nd housing
or job opportunities. Several shelters in the
area only open their doors when the weather
is considered “extreme,” making them unreli-
able for frequent use, while others have very
few beds available and ll up quickly.
Many of the resources that do exist are

increase the risk of hypothermia for those
who do not have access to shelter during
the night, when
temperatures drop near or
below freezing.
“You’ve got to stay dry, that's really super
important,” Jesara Schroeder, a Seattle resi-
dent who has experienced homelessness,
said. “If your bedding all gets wet, it's pretty
horrible. Even if you try to dry it out the next
day, it's still cold. It’s really dicult to get dry
bedding once your bedding has gotten wet.”
Schroeder became homeless in March
2020, initially living out of her car before
moving to a tent city, a protected homeless
encampment run by Seattle Housing and
Resource Effort (SHARE) and Women’s
Housing Equality and Enhancement League
(WHEEL). She now lives in transitional hous-
ing, but has experienced the full range of Seat-
tle weather while living outside.

LGBTQ+ folks.
“I have a very diverse sta, which is one
of the coolest things about us. All ethnici
-
ties, all backgrounds, all genders, all what-
ever. It's supposed to be a community lunch,
we're supposed to be a staple for the commu-
nity,” Pfa said. “What's really cool about
here is, since we have everybody from all
dierent backgrounds, it really shows the
people that come through here that we are
very open and accepting.
This diversity gives sta the opportunity
to form deeper connections with people who
use the space, as they may see themselves
reected in the people who work there.
“It's really all dierent types of folks coming
through,” Sta Member Rose McMurray
said. “There denitely are some folks that
you know, come through and that can be a
little bit dicult. But there's a lot of folks that
you get to see every day, and even people
who have a little bit of diculty when they
rst start coming in, a lot of the time you get
to know them a little bit better and a little
bit better and then people start to see it as
a community space, and you get to kind of
interact with people and get to know people
in a really nice way.
The increase in need for shelter and warmth
during the winter months has been noticed
by Community Lunch sta, as folks who
may not have access to all-day shelters
gravitate towards the temporary shelter
provided at mealtimes.
“It's denitely gotten busier starting with
the holidays,” Maya Taylor, the head of
Community Lunchs kitchen, said. “Especially
because we open our doors, people tend to
want to stay inside as much as possible. Some-
times we notice that when the elements are
really bad that it does slow down because I
think people would rather just not leave at all
and just conserve as much as they can.
Though organizations like Community
Lunch provide much-needed resources for
the homeless, they remain limited by the
donations they receive and their limited
hours of operation. Because of this, Schroeder
emphasized the need for ocial day centers
for those experiencing homelessness.
The Seattle Public Libraries are uno-
cially day centers for the homeless, which
is great, but they're not designed for that,
Schroeder said. “The libraries are awesome,
and I don’t want to downplay the work they
do, but they're set up to be libraries which is
what they should be. They've actually taken
on some stu with homeless folks, but it
really isn't their job. An actual day center has
restrooms, it has laundry, it has showers, it
oen has case managers so people can help
you gure out what little housing there is in
Seattle and how to get access to that.
Having access to more resources like day
centers and community kitchens would bene-
t not just homeless folks, but much wider
populations, McMurray explained. This is
one of the biggest misconceptions about orga-
nizations like Community Lunch.
Layered and ready for the night.
People view this work as
specifically ‘serving the
poor’ or ‘serving the homeless,
which I think fundamentally
regards it as helping a community
that isn't yours or helping outside
of your community, which is
really othering. The fact is that a
lot of people have homes, and a
lot of people who come in here
as guests are just folks that have
retired and want some community
and time to hang out with people.
The biggest misconception, at
least in my eyes, is the fact that
this isn't here to help a dierent
community, this is to help each
other and this is to help us.
Rose McMurray
Schroeder echoed these sentiments,
emphasizing the importance of recognizing
those experiencing homelessness as individ-
uals rather than a faceless mass.
“Homeless people are your neighbors.
There are college students right now who are
homeless, you know, I have a master's degree
and I ended up being homeless,” Schroeder
said. “There's this perception of homeless
people as not being the same as you. We are
the same as you, you have neighbors who
are homeless.
Organizations like Community Lunch
rely on help from the community to
operate successfully.
Volunteering is a huge foundational aspect
of our work. We're unable to really remain
open most days without the hours and the
time that our volunteers put in,” Taylor said.
Community Lunch accepts volunteer
applications as well as donations both mone-
tary and physical. Some of the most helpful
items to donate in the wintertime are socks,
hand warmers, and hygiene products. Other
local organizations in need of community
support include WHEEL, the Washington
Low Income Housing Alliance and Roots
youth shelter.

Spring Training Is Here, What Have the Mariners
Done to Prepare for 2025?
P
itchers and Catchers from all 30 Major
League Baseball teams rst reported to
their respective Spring Training locations
between Feb. 9 and 13, marking the begin-
ning of the 2025 MLB Spring Training.
The 15 members of the Cactus League, the
Mariners included, gathered at their respec-
tive training facilities in Arizona, while the
other 15 members of the Grapefruit League
reported to their facilities in Florida.
Following a cold off-season, the Seat-
tle Mariners tuned in to the Peoria Sports
Complex in Peoria, Ariz., where they began
preparation for the upcoming season. In 2024
the Mariners ended the season with a record
of 85-77, putting them in second place in the
American League (AL) West division, missing
the playos once again.
The team last made a playo appearance in
2022 aer securing the second AL Wild Card
spot with a Cal Raleigh walk-o home run
versus the Oakland Athletics, Sep. 30, 2022.
This broke a 20-year-long playo drought
for the Mariners. Since then, the Mariners
have just barely missed out on the playos in
back-to-back years.
contract. Both inelders
have proven themselves
as plus hitters in previ-
ous years, and with
the veteran presence,
development will not
be necessary for either
of the individuals.
“It was more quiet
than normal for us…
We did have areas that
we wanted to address
in the ineld. The rst
thing we did to address
them was adding
Solano, really really
happy with that add…
Then obviously adding
Jorge back to the team was last week was a
big deal for us,” Mariners General Manager
Justin Hollander told Bump and Stacy from
Seattle Sports 710.
Despite the organization not making many
large moves during the oseason, theres still
a lot to look forward to for the 2025 season.
In 2024 the Mariners’ starting rotation solid-
ied itself as one of, if not the best, pitching
rotations in the MLB. This ve-man rotation
consisting of Bryce Miller, Logan Gilbert,
Luis Castillo, George Kirby and Bryan Woo
led the MLB in multiple dierent aspects
in 2024. The teams elite bullpen will also
hopefully be seeing the return of the righty
ame thrower, Matt Brash. If Brashs recov-
ery continues to go well, the righty will be
returning to the bullpen aer missing out
on the entirety of the 2024 season due to
receiving Tommy John surgery. With all of
the Mariners’ starters returning this season,
and the addition of the young right-hander,
Emerson Hancock as the sixth man to the
starting rotation, pitching will be the least of
the teams worries this season.
Mariners’ legend Dan Wilson took over
as the teams manager Aug. 22, 2024. Wilson
replaced the former manager, Scott Servais.
Aer nine seasons at the helm for the Mari-
ners, Servais was released from the team
aer poor performances from the team in
the months of July and August 2024.
“Guys are excited with what lies ahead
here in [20]25. You know guys will try other
things that were suggested to them by other
starters… they can lean on each other a little
bit that way also and I think that’s one of
the things that makes that pitching sta so
special,” Wilson commented on the Mariners
pitching sta.
Pitching was not what caused the Mariners’
downfall last season. Despite the team leading
the league in many of the pitching statistics,
the Mariners’ oense ranked second to last in
the MLB in regard to team combined batting
average, .224 (via ESPN). The team also
tallied up the most strikeouts in the MLB with
1,625. The Mariners only had four players out
of the 22 hitters on the team that hit above
.250, those four being Julio Rodríguez, Justin
Turner, Victor Robles and Cade Marlowe.
The Mariners also have a lot of oensive
talent in their farm system, with the orga-
nization having seven prospects ranked in
the MLB Top 100 Prospects. The re-signing
of Polanco, the addition of Solano and the
possible promotion of some prospects could
all help improve this teams mediocre oense.
The MLB regular season begins March
27 for 28 out of the 30 teams, the Mari-
ners included. The team will take on the
now-mononymous Athletics, formally
Oakland Athletics, at home to kick o the
2025 season. With almost the same team as
last season, along with the addition of some
new players that could make positive impacts
on the teams performance, it’ll be exciting to
see how the Mariners will perform as they

How To Level Up Your Campus Gaming at the
Esports Room
Hadia Noor Ahmed
Staff Reporter
I
mmediately when you enter Seattle Univer-
sity's Esports Room, you’re met with a space
that is full of people laughing around each
other's PCs as they play virtual games while
engaging in a vibrant community space.
The Esports room is nearing its two-year
mark as it only opened in Feb. 2023.
Mordi Giday, a fourth-year nance major
who is a sta member in the Esports room,
explained that the room is accessible for
anyone wanting to play video games. For
those who want to get into the sport, recre-
ationally or competitively, the space is avail-
able for all levels of gamers.
The thing is most people don’t really know
that this room exists most of the time. So it’s
not like they don’t know how to play video
games, it's just more so they never knew
there was a space we built to come play video
games,” Giday said.
While the Esports room doesn’t hold tradi-
tional lessons on how to start playing, as a
sta member, Giday ensures they are there
to help and walk anyone through the process.
makes it better, right? Because then they can
actually see each other and spend time with
each other and it's another place where people
can get together at SU,” Paul said.
When asked about what advice he would
give to newcomers wanting to enter the
Esports room, Paul's strong advice was to
bring a friend.
Walking into a new gaming space is really
hard, its really dicult, and it's even harder
when you’re by yourself because you don’t
have anyone to play with. But if you can nd a
wing person to go in with you, all of a sudden
it’s you and someone else so it's not as polar-
izing that all eyes are on you—might be on
both of you—but it’s not just on you,” Paul
explained.
Starting a new hobby or skill is always an
intimidating process, but starting out with
someone who you already trust and enjoy
each other's presence makes the experience
much more doable. Over time, that allows
you to build the condence to enter spaces
such as the Esports room on your own and
perhaps start making new friends as well.
Elyza Cabanos is a second-year forensic
science major and the event coordinator for
EGC. For anyone intimidated by the sport of
gaming, Cabanos says you have to just;
“Jump into it and don’t let your fears hold
you back because for me I was really scared
to just start talking to people but I think you
just have to get that condence and just join
in on the events. Especially our social events
or just going to the esports room.
Cabanos expressed encouragement to
those looking to nd friends or play video
games, whether it's through the Esports room
or the EGC.
“It’s a place where everyone, both social and
competitive-just anyone who likes games- can
go into and make friends. I personally made
a lot of friends through the club and through
meeting people in the esports room. So I
think it's a great place to just build commu-
nity,” Cabanos said.
A strong thread throughout all three inter-
views with Giday, Cabanos and Paul was not
to linger on the actual technicality of esports
and gaming (though yes, you might enjoy
yourself more if youre interested in playing),
but to come with an open mind and expect
to be welcomed warmly and make lasting
friendships.

We always welcome

Students play games at the Esports Room computers
The Esports room itself is under Seattle
Us UREC center, but Seattle U’s Esports and
Gaming Club (EGC), the largest student-
run club on campus, also has strong ties to
the room.
Chris Paul, a professor of communication
and media as well as the advisor for EGC,
talked about the importance of community
spaces such as the Esports room. Before it
was built, Paul reminisced on how gamers
struggled because everyone would play from
their dorms and there weren’t any opportu-
nities to create connections or physically play
with others.
We nally have a space where people
can play together and actually interact and it

Seattle U Is Snow Place For Ski Bums
Milan Damjanac
Staff Reporter
SPORTS
Leaving home
driven to become
a better skier, I
told myself that I
would get up to
the mountain no
matter what
it takes.
B
eing a college ski bum is not a new
concept. The snow sport is extremely
expensive and hard to access, so university
students lacking in disposable income have
been nding ways to get up to the moun-
tains for cheap for as long as skiing has been
around. However, most students who want
to spend their college winters on the slopes
ock to schools renowned for their proximity
to good skiing—schools like the University of
Utah, Montana State, and the University of
Colorado Boulder. What happens, though,
when a slope-minded individual tries to
accomplish the same thing at a school like
Seattle University?
This year, I have been trying to find
that out.
these vans are not a
consistent way to get
in a large number of
ski days.
Ski Club and
Stoke SU are both
organizations that
oer some support
for aspiring skiers.
However, a lack of
funding from the
school means that
both clubs have no
formal transpor-
tation for skiing.
Additionally, while
both are useful for
networking and
potentially nding friends to take you up,
there can be logistical issues. For example,
I have an Ikon pass and almost all of the Ski
Club are on Epic, meaning that unless I buy
an expensive day ticket, skiing with them is
out of the question.
Finally, the main way to get up is to have a
car. However, not only is owning and main-
taining a car expensive, especially for rst and
second-year students, driving to the resort
and back can cost upwards of $30 a day in gas
money, along with expensive parking reser-
vations for weekend days.
Being faced with these options, I tried to
nd other ways to get up. The most consistent
way to get rides is through the University of
Washington (UW)’s snow club, which oers
access to its ridesharing service and group
trips for a one-time fee of $30. Rides are
free, as the club pays for member rideshares.
However, I have found that competition for
spots is very dicult, oen lling up within
minutes. Additionally, while some drivers are
willing to pick you up at Seattle U, others will
leave from UW, meaning you have to haul
your gear onto the light rail and walk to a
meetup point.
Clearly, ski access from Seattle U is pretty
limited, which le me frustrated. However,
this situation made me turn to the nal, and
most important way to get rides—tapping
into the local community. While this option
is much more nebulous than the others,
and comes about dierently for everyone,
it is essential to getting the most out of your
college skiing experience.
Random encounters at the climbing gym
have introduced me to a few 20- and 30-some-
thing-year-old professionals who regularly go
up to the mountain and are more than willing
to take a struggling college student. By paying
my share for gas while being friendly and
passionate, I’ve been invited to local rideshare
group chats and even the opportunity to go
on trips outside of Washington, which remain
affordable through sharing costs within
the group.
That one example isn’t the only way to
create community and get rides—ski connec-
tions can be made through people in your
classes, your extracurriculars, on forums
and through a variety of dierent methods.
Seattle has a strong outdoor community, and
engaging with it is bound to make you friends
who will help you to enjoy the mountain
with them.
I have eight days up this season, and I’m
hoping to get to 20 before the snow melts.
While it’s denitely doable, it will be di-
cult, and that’s part of the fun. My story goes
to show that, passion, a near-obnoxious
persistence and a drive to cultivate commu-
nity, anyone at this school can make their
ski-bum dreams a reality.
It has taken a lot, though, especially as Seat-
tle U lacks much of the infrastructure that is
necessary for getting students on the moun-
tain regularly.
The school isn’t entirely unsupportive—
UREC Outdoors oers two weekly shuttles
that are completely free to students. One is an
aernoon bus to Snoqualmie Pass, which is
50 minutes away and a slightly smaller resort
than the other Washington alternatives, for
night skiing. The other is a morning bus
to Crystal Mountain, the premiere Wash-
ington ski destination, which is about two
hours away.
While convenient and easy, these shuttles
have a few issues. First, both resorts that they
service are on the Ikon Pass, and holders of
the competing Epic Pass lack any school
supported way to get up. Additionally, there
are only six of each van oered through-
out the year. While a nice auxiliary option,

Two friends browse through a rack of vintage clothing.
Little Shop Hops: Break Away
Vintage Market
S
treetwear classics and vintage collectables
sit next to sports memorabilia and hip-hop
relics, with Break Away Vintage Market oer-
ing a wide collection. Right down Pike Street,
this one-of-a-kind shop draws shoppers from
all over Seattle with its large curated selection
of vintage clothing and accessories.
Six years ago, a group of friends turned an
uneventful summer into something bigger,-
setting out to sell vintage clothing and items.
What started as garage sales and pop-ups
slowly made its way through Tacoma and
eventually into Seattle. That small idea has
now grown into Break Away Vintage Market,
a thriving brick-and-mortar shop built on
years of dedication and hustle.
The store has made a large scene in Capitol
Hill with its unique atmosphere that attracts
-
dierent communities from all over the city.
A big part of Seattle culture is repre-
sented, anywhere from hip-hop to sports,
to streetwear, to vintage clothing. It's just a
place where no matter who you are, you can
nd a piece that represents who you are and
somewhere you came from,” Tanner Callies,
one of the founders, said.
A lot of people who walk into the shop
aren’t necessarily looking for clothes, or
anything specic at all. For many, it’s a place
to hang out, meet like-minded people, or
just chill and enjoythe mix of music playing
throughout the store.
Spread across multiple large rooms, includ-
ing an underground section, Break Away also
works alongside its neighbors, Late Night
Vintage Mall, a separate business with a
shared love for vintage items. These two busi-
nesses have a variety of attractions, including
a Wii, Xbox, foosball table, and a basketball
arcade stand where customers can enjoy a
dierent experience beyond just shopping
for clothes.
Destiny Reyes is a sta member at LNVM.
“It’s not just about looking through a bunch
of racks, it feels like you can go explore,
Reyes said.
Adding to its uniqueness, both Break Away
and Late Night Vintage Mall set themselves
apart with their hours—both open from 3
p.m. to 12 a.m., giving those who are looking
for an aer-hours shopping experience or a
late-night hangout spot to explore.
Apart from everyday browsing, both stores
also host events that add another layer to the
experience. Previously, they held a “Bring
Your Own Bag” event, where shoppers could
bring any size bag, ll it up with clothes from
a massive pile, and pay just $25. In the future,
they plan on hosting more events, some
including the video game consoles in store.
The Late Night Vintage Mall commu-
nity goes beyond just the customers; it also
includes avariety of vendors who get to share
their own interests within the store. Certain
sections are setup by around 15 dierent
vendors who bring new items into the shop.
This brings a biggersense of belonging and
community as these vendors are putting
their own personality intosomething that is
shared with many, creating a space where
people can connect over their shared inter-
ests and experience the store in a personal,
ever-evolving way.
Walking into a store like this can sometimes
feel a bit daunting. With so many trends and
styles seen everywhere today, stepping into
a space lled with all these varied themes
can beintimidating, especially if you're not
familiar with them. The mix of vintage
clothing, streetwear, sports memorabilia
and unique collectibles can leave you feeling
overwhelmed, wonderingwhere to start or if
you’ll t in.
However, once inside, the experience
shis. Theres no pressure to know every-
thing or t into a particular style. You don’t
feel the demand to t into a specic mold,
this is what makes these shops so unique.
They’ve become a place where community
and personal expression intersect.
All of our employees are really friendly. If
you need help looking for something, we’re
there for you, styling or even trying stu on,
we’re really helpful with everything,” Itzel
Huato said, an LNVM employee, reinforcing
why there's no reason to feel intimidated.
The market is a spot that invites people to
connect over shared interests and discover
something new, whether through the items
on the shelves or the atmosphere that
surrounds them.

Local Seattle Bands Light Up
Neumos Stage in the Name of
Charity and Community

W
hile snow lled the open sky on the
setting Seattle skyline, it wasn’t the
only thing in the air that night. Ever-present
was the palpable feeling of a Seattle commu-
nity coming together to support Youth
Care and eat, drink and dance the night
away at Neumos Thursday night. Balcony
Bridge-Benet Concert for Youth Care orga-
nized by the headliners podcaster, producer
and guitarist Sean Moran, featured two other
local Seattle Bands: Waxer, and the one and
only Magenta Wave.
As Neumos lled for the show, local staple
Ezell’s Famous Chicken catered to concert-go-
ers. Ezell’s very quickly set the communal and
welcoming tone for the night, matching what
Waxers Guitarist and Singer Cuinn Fey and
Moran shared with me.
Thursday was cool because you know, I
had the community aspect of it. It was a fund
-
raiser and also there was Ezell's chicken there
which is awesome. Certain things like that
multifacetedness make it more comfortable
immediately,” Fey said.
Moran echoed Feys sentiment, expressing
the importance of togetherness at events.
“I do believe the core pillar of bringing
people together and creating that sense of
shared love and community is food, dance,
and music,” Moran said.
The benet was organized to raise funds for
Youth Care, described by their website as “a
Seattle based non-prot providing resources
for the homeless.” I spoke with Moran on
the topic, asking for his perspective on the
process behind it.
They reached out with some dates and we
got this February date and I'm like let's do it
again, let's do another benet concert. So this
time I decided to go with Youth Care because
I felt like Youth Care was much more localized
to Seattle specically,” Moran said.
Raes were a major part of the night, with
each segue between sets by local artist JUL!ET
a new chance to win sick prize packages from
Neumos. Prizes ranged from merch packages
to monthly free Neumos concert tickets and
a hand-sewn astronaut, with all the proceeds
going to Youth Care and their initiative.
First up on the setlist was the amazing
Waxer, a local underground band established
in 2018, made up of Cuinn Fey playing guitar
with vocals, Peter Holmes on the drums,
Anthony Whiteld on the bass and Pete
Stoessel on the guitar. The band originated
out of the UW house scene, emphasizing the
community feeling of the occasion.
“It’s an honor and you know, I consider
Neumos a kind of legendary Seattle venue.
So just a personal bucket list that was super
cool,” Fey said.
Waxer eortlessly owed through the rst
set of the night with warm indie rock and
jazzy undertones. They brought a honed and
complex sound to a familiar soundscape that
I thoroughly enjoyed. Waxer has a lm releas-
ing at the SIFF on March 20th.
Following suit, Bellinghams Magenta Wave
took the stage. This gem of a band is composed
of guitarist and Joshua Harmon-esque
singer Grayson Thompson, Taylor Mastin
on guitar, Nathaniel McCurly on bass and
Kellen Larsen on the drums. They brought
together a heart-wrenching yet endlessly
genuine and energetic performance—an
experience that can’t quite be faked—their
hard work and exchange of energy shined
through every note. I caught up with Magen-
tas McCurly, asking what the preparation and
their feelings were like leading up to their
killer performance.
“Dude, it was awesome. It was our rst time
playing on a bigger stage in Seattle like that.
And we've been working really hard, we've
been doing a big recording and writing phase.
So we have a lot of new material right now
that we feel denitely reects our time in the
garage just working on our songwriting and
our depth and dynamism as musicians. So it
felt like an opportunity that we were excited
to take and also ready to take,” McCurly said.
On the bill for Magenta Wave: a show
March 21 at Atlanta Blues, a Seattle tour being
announced soon, alongside a new EP from
the band.
Finally, headlining the night was the local
park king's Balcony Bridge on the big stage.
Balcony Bridge is made up of Julian Pearlman
on guitar, Moran on guitar, Jacob Longhurst
on bass and Jack Moran on drums. The band
gathered the energy of the night and dialed it
up. The clashing drums and guitar coupled
with Pearlmans stunning vocals made for a
night that ranged between angelic soothing
ris to high-pitched piercing, extended high
notes that combined for a awless set. One
that only got better as the band progressed.
Up next for Balcony Bridge, the band might
be taking a mindful approach to their shows
and music.
We really wanna try to move people with
the power of Julians singing voice as opposed
to being so in your face, super excited to tap

“ The plan is less shows, we want to place
more emphasis and importance on [them],
he added, hoping to take a quality over quan-
tity approach moving forward.
The benet was a memorable night, head-
lined by talented bands for a great cause and
fueled by an even greater growth of a special
community on the rise.
