CU Veterans Fair Jackson Miller Staff Writer
From Nov. 7 - 8, the annual CU Veterans Fair took place on the first f loor of the McMahon Centennial Complex. The Cameron University Office of Veterans Affairs hosted the event, with the primary goal of administering the educational benefits that are granted to veterans and their relatives through the Veteran’s Assistance program. This year, a total of 23 organizations participated in the Veterans Fair, each of which offered some kind of assistance to veterans and their dependents, ranging from healthcare, to education and employment. CU Coordinator of Veterans Affairs Vicki Henson said one of the main goals of the event was to bring awareness to various benefits for veterans and their families. “There are so many benefits available,” she said. “Sometimes people just aren’t aware of what those benefits are.” One of the organizations that participated in the Veterans Fair was “Gold Star Wives of America,” which is sponsored by the 428th Field Artillery Brigade stationed at Fort Sill. According to their website, two widows founded “Gold Star

Wives of America” in 1945 in honor of service members killed during World War II. Since there were not many resources available to spouses of fallen service members during this period, the organization sought change by improving benefits and making sure the surviving spouses get them. Although the organization opened itself specifically to female spouses of military veterans at the time of its inception, it now represents men. Gold Star Wife Pat
Miller’s husband Danny served in the Vietnam War. Although he did not die in the line of duty, Danny still passed away in 2008 due to diabetic complications caused by Agent Orange; a toxic chemical dropped on Vietnam during the war. His wife Pat joined in 2012 and is currently a member of the Government Relations Committee within the organization. Miller said the goal of the committee is to find sponsors for bills that are passed in Congress, both state and federal, and to
work elected officials in getting those bills passed. Since the organization is chartered by Congress, none of the members can lobby politicians, but one of the ways the organization gets things done is through congressional aides and other insiders. Miller said the organization knows how things operate. “We’re not taking people to dinner,” she said, “but we are aware of who is in favor of bills and who is not.” Like all members, Miller had her own personal reason for
joining Gold Star Wives. Not only did her husband serve in the Vietnam War, but her father did as well, and also tragically passed due to Agent Orange complications. There is one thing Miller said she thinks people should realize about service in the military. “His story is not unique,” she said. “His story is the same as every other Vietnam veteran I have run across and is very similar to Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who I have run across.” Right now one of the
main concerns for the organization is raising awareness about the Burn Pit Registry, which is used to monitor specific illnesses associated with air pollution given off from fumes of the burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan. To learn more about Gold Star Wives or any bills it sponsors, contact Pat Collins Miller at fahs70grad@aol.com. Gold Star Wives will also be sponsoring the eighth-annual “Run for the Fallen Memorial 5K” event which will take place at Fort Sill on Dec. 1.

Australian Gun Control:
An American Solution? Justin Rose Staff Writer
Another mass shooting and more bloodshed is in the news. I can hear the thunderous steps coming from the anti-gun crusaders as they march toward our nation’s Capital as I’m typing this sentence. The main thing I’m hearing from these advocates is that we need some kind of gun reform, and we need it sooner rather than later. These advocates like to look toward Australia for inspiration. Even former President Barack Obama did just that in a 2015 speech. “When Australia had a mass killing about twenty-five years ago in Tasmania,” Obama said, “it was just so shocking the entire country said: ‘Well, we’re going to completely change our gun laws.’ And they did, and it hasn’t happened since.”
In 1996, Tasmania had the deadliest mass shooting in their country’s history when a gunman opened fire on a crowd of tourists in Port Arthur, a popular attraction in the country. After this happened, the Australian government passed legislation called the National Firearms Agreement(NFA). This agreement banned certain semi-automatic, self-loading rif les and shotguns and imposed stricter licensing and registration requirements. The government instituted a mandatory buyback program for the guns that were made illegal by this legislation. The Australian government tightened gun laws again in 2002 by restricting the caliber, barrel length and capacity for sport shooting handguns. Statistics show that there has been a drop in firearm related homicides in the country since 1996. In the seven years prior to the NFA
About Us
being put into effect, there was an annual average firearm homicide rate of 43 percent per a hundred thousand people. In the seven years following the implementation of the NFA, there was an annual average firearm homicide rate of 25 percent per a hundred thousand people. The studies that listed these statistics have also said that it is not clear if the NFA was the cause of this drop off. Pro Second Amendment advocates say that Australia’s homicide rate was already on the decline, and the implementation of NFA caused for the uptick in homicide rates in 1999. There is some truth to that statement. The rate was in a decline leading up to 1997, and in 1999, there was an increase in homicides to 385, from 334 the year before. However, since that uptick, the

homicide rates have been in a more or less steady decrease. For argument sake, let’s say that it is crystal clear that the NFA was the reason for the drop off. Would this type of gun-restricting law work in America? In my opinion, the answer is a resounding no. The cultures in Australia and America are on almost the complete opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to attitudes toward firearms. It’s no secret that America loves its guns. Let’s face it, we have a good reason to love them. Our country was born from a violent uprising. If our forefathers didn’t have guns then it’s possible our country would’ve never existed. What would happen if our government did decide to institute a policy that even resembles Australia’s NFA? It would probably lead to even more bloodshed. Just imagine the emotions that would be provoked if our government started to send workers to citizen’s houses demanding that they give up some of their guns for some cash. A mandatory buyback would never work here. It wouldn’t work now, and I don’t see it working anytime in the near future. We need to come together as a country and decide what is best for us. Do we keep what we had since we became the United States of America or do we choose to go down a different path? Will the time in which we currently live force us to give up our right to bear arms? Has technology advanced so much that we do in fact need a change? Thomas Jefferson played around with the idea that the Constitution might need to change with every new generation. Was that idea right, and has that time now come? Letters Policy

Polynice said her favorite part of the Snacks and Chats event is the realization that people really aren’t that different from one another. “We are all just human at the end of the day,” she said. “I love that ‘Aha!’ moment students have when they begin to view others in a different light, or realize that there are things they just didn’t understand beforehand—such as another students’ feelings. “Most people don’t consider these things to be super important, but when they see and experience firsthand some of the rougher-portions of life that people go through, it makes all the difference.” For more information on the next Snacks and Chats event, contact the Student Services office at studentservices@cameron.edu.

I knew he’d be good, but I wasn’t expecting him to win every meet. So obviously that was a nice surprise.” Junior Celso Ramirez is feeling good about the season so far. Ramirez competed in NCAA South Central Regional meet two years ago during his freshman year. His optimism is rooted in the noticeable strength in this year’s
roster of athletes. “I think this year we have a very strong group of runners,” Ramirez said, “Which has pushed us to this point.” Junior James Majenge has set records for Cameron University this year. Majenge worked hard on his training throughout the summer. His optimistic outlook on this fall season is similar to that of Ramirez and he has been very pleased with the results of the season. “This season has been great, and we’ve made some history together,” Majenge said. “I’ve been training this summer in a program and the main goal for
me was to get to this point without injuries and still be on form without fatigue.” With focus and hard work, Majenge has made major contributions to Cameron’s cross-country program. “The idea was to stay focused during the season and remain composed in the early part of every race. If I do that I know everything will work out as planned.” The Cameron men’s cross country team will finish up their season at the NCAA South Central Regional Meet on Nov. 17 in Denver Colorado.
