Come Jan. 20, 2017, Donald Trump will
be the leader of the free world.
Trump's runaway victory in South Da­kota's
general election was as predictable as '
his electoral college win was shocking. Few
prognostictators gave him a shot. The polls
and betting markets depicted him as a clear
underdog. The New York Times gave Trump
a IS-percent chance.
Still, he won, and members of the Augus­tana
community responded.
For government professor Joel Johnson,
uncertainty ';"ill be the theme of Trump's
tenure going forward.
'Tm not sure anyone has a good read on
it;' Johnson said. "Is he truly a dealmaker?
Is he the sort of person who will make deals
with whoever in Congress might [agree]
with him? He's not beholden to many people
in his office, which gives him a range of mo­Shutterstock

It's On Us continues efforts to end sexual assault on campu~
KAYLYN DEITER

It started as a simple catch­phrase
of shared responsibility.
In 2014 it turned into a national
referendum on ending sexual
assault on college campuses,
spearheaded by the White
House.
Today, the It's On Us cam­paign
exists on more than 300
campuses. And, as of October
2015, Augustana is one of them.
The Augustana chapter oflt's
on Us was made possible by a
$300,000 Depart­ment
of Justice
grant that ex­tends
until Sep­tember
2018.
In the year

Lindsey Roberts and
sophomore student advocates
Madeline Jenkins and MacKen­zie
Brandt have led the group.
Though the first year of the
program has been mostly a
trial run to build
student inter­est,
Roberts said
she's excited to
network with
the community
and continue to
spread the word
about It's On Us.
"Getting to
know students in this new set­ting
has been really rewarding;'
Roberts said. "One of our main
goals is to get more students in­volved
than last year. Our stu­dent
advocates really make or
break the program:'
For their part, both Jenkins
and Brandt share Roberts' pas­sion
for the program. After con­necting
with the former Solberg
Hall director last year as fresh­men,
the two decided to spread
awareness about sexual assault
on college campuses by doing
more than attending the occa­sional
It's On Us event.
"As students, we make the
biggest impact when it comes to
preventing this issue;' Jenkins

Unseemly
behavior
toward joggers

A couple year~ ago at Augustana, a
IIl:an made a habit of running behind
female joggers, according to Direc­tor
of Campus SafetY ,Rick Tupper.
That man ran with no clothes on.
This is to say that Campus Safety's
recent email about a man video­taping
a female jogger from his car
on campus
shou ldn' t
come as a
huge surprise.
It was the
third report
of similar
behavior re­layed
to Cam­pus
Safety
this semester.
The lesson,
according to
Rick Tupper
Tupper: Be aware of your surround­ings
while running around-and-near
campus.
"The one thing about Sioux Falls
is Sioux Falls is generally a pretty
safe community, but that doesn't
mean that bad things don't happen;'
Tupper said.
The recent Campus Safety no­tice
highlighted four steps students
should take when jogging to mini­mize
their chance of an incident.
Among them is the idea of not wear­ing
two earbuds, which can make
runners less aware of sounds around
them.
Senior Maria Lavelle said she will
no longer wear two earbuds during
her .early-morning runs.
"That's one thing I'm going to
change now, actually, because I never
thought about that;' Lavelle said.
