Meet the Administrative Assistants

My name is Jennifer Dawson and I am the Front Desk Receptionist at the GMC
Augusta Campus. My relationship with GMC began a long, long time ago when I was
a student here in 2001-2002. I was a transfer student
from Augusta University and as soon as I got to GMC,
I felt a sigh of relief that I would be able to succeed, as
I was completely overwhelmed with the big University
atmosphere at AU. I was not ready for that type of
transition coming from Hephzibah High School. I
found that coming to GMC was the perfect solution to
my adjustment period from high school to college life.
So, from my own experience, I am a supporter of
GMC in so many ways, especially during the crucial
time in one’s life when so many things are changing all
at once.

In my life-experiences over the past ten years, I have
found my passion, and that is connecting with others.
That is why I enjoy coming to work every day. There Jennifer Dawson
is always at least one person that impacts me, not to Full-time Receptionist
mention I am surrounded by those that are striving to
succeed. This has led me to where I am today and I plan to begin classes myself in the
Fall term toward social work. Which is another reason I am such a supporter of
GMC...because of second chances. We welcome students from all walks of life and
encourage success, there is no age limit on growth and we will do all that we can help
anyone achieve their goals.

I am in the front office Monday-Friday from 8am-5pm and I welcome anyone that
walks in. I am here to help with student ID’s, parking decals and questions. If you
need to see Admissions or the Registrar, you can sign in here. Please be courteous to
all that I may be trying to assist, as each student is important and I can only serve one
at a time. I am here to help and if I am unable to, I can find someone who can. I
understand the stress of juggling life and that sometimes it seems impossible. I
encourage everyone to keep pushing forward and to always remember that here at
GMC, you are supported. Feel comfortable to stop in to take care of business or just
to say hello!

2018 Student Honor Council Summit

On Friday, February 23, 2018, the members of Augusta’s Student Honor
Council (SHC) attended the Student Honor Council Summit in
Milledgeville. Our attendees this year included Natassia Collins, Jared
Enger, Carrie Fletcher, Earnest Jenkins and Kenyari Jones. Also in
attendance were SHC advisors, Professor April Shoemaker and Dean of
Students Jennifer Montgomery. Participants had lunch in the Bulldog
Room in Boylan Hall before presenting their SHC annual briefing to
Colonel Patrick Beer and representatives from other GMC campuses,
including Columbus, Fairburn, Fayetteville, Milledgeville, Valdosta and
Warner Robins.

In the briefing, GMC Augusta’s SHC introduced its members, reported on
48 hearings held in 2017 (39 Plagiarism/ 9 Cheating), and listed
accomplishments to include the development of a PER-101 presentation.
Also, group members discussed their responsibility to be honorable
examples, encouraging students to succeed uprightly, yet accepting that it is
up to them to choose the right path. This year’s concerns included
students’ lack of urgency to complete their required sanctions, which may
lead to a lack of retention, and the difficulty, at times, to find appropriate
sanctions for certain SHC cases, particularly for those students who have
completed all their courses.

It was a rewarding experience for all as SHC members that clearly
reflected a shared goal of upholding GMC’s Spirit of the Honor Code,
which expects students to be “truthful, fair, respectful, and corporately
responsible.” Want to make an impact? Consider joining SHC? To learn

Living Out the American Dream Through
the Big Screen: Our Fascination with the

American Cinematic Gangster

By: Matthew Macintosh

The interpretation of the American Dream is infinitely diacritical and subjective
to each individual. To some, the fulfillment of the American Dream may be
acquiring a fertile lot of land, raising a moderate size family, or maybe just
receiving a degree in their desired field of study. As for the American cinematic
gangsters, their “American Dream” is to become the most powerful, wealthiest,
and respected persons around—an illusion only temporarily achieved through
the big screens. Furthermore, the very pursuit of this egotistical interpretation of
the American Dream is the foundation of every gangster film created, and is, one
might add, an effective formula for cinematic success. Frank Coppola’s The
Godfather, a gangster genre classic, sums up how these cinematic gangsters
perceive America as a whole with its iconic opening line, “I believe in America.
America has made my fortune”, a line that significantly resonates the consistent
theme within the genre on the gangsters’ pursuit of wealth—their “American
Dream”.

Yet, how the gangsters obtain that American dream can be very controversial
from committing petty crimes to committing felonies; the host of things these
gangsters are capable of doing are terrifyingly endless. And still, with all of its
noticeably shady parts, the counterculture-filled genre flourishes. William Young
observes that this is due to its unique relationship with the audience, the
featured violence appeases the viewers’ cravings for an adrenaline rush, and the
peculiar perspective from a criminal intrigues them, as it reflects the audience’s
hidden fantasy of a criminal lifestyle and reflects their dark and wild inner
personas. Each reason, in its own respect, contributes as to why many people
are fascinated with this cruel but charismatic, cinematic gangster.

15

In the opening scene of The Godfather, the audience is immersed into a glorified
world of crime with the smooth, raspy, and enticing voice of main character, Don
Corleone (played by Marlon Brando), as he holds an intense yet ironically subtle
conversation with Bonasera—a mortician pleading for Corleone’s assistance. The
discourse oscillates between the two characters with Bonasera expounding on his
daughter’s tragic encounter, pleading his case, while Corleone indirectly
manipulates Bonasera, asserting his dominance which he masks as “friendship”.
Corleone refuses to yield to Bonasera’s plea until Bonasera fully submits himself
under Corleone. Now, Bonasera in turn must fulfill any task the Don may need in
the future in which he will, despite Corleone’s assurance that “that day may never
come.” Don Corleone, of few, is the epitome of the gangster archetype: a true
gangster in its pure form. He is deviously charismatic, has acquired reverence
proportional to his larger-than-life persona, and is extremely violent, give or take a
horse’s head. Aside from being vicious and deceivingly charming, the typical
American cinematic gangster is also accredited with other traits such as being
downright audacious and particularly wealthy, which, along with the latter traits
mentioned—with the exception of being violent—are all desirable
(The Godfather).

Looking past their vulgarity, the gangster’s fearlessness of any repercussion is
pretty attractive to the bulk of the audience. It being attractive in a sense that
most, too, would want to be able to do whatever they wish, whenever they wish
it, and as often as they please. Secretly, those audience members live out their
wildest fantasies vicariously through these gangsters and their adventures. As
most could infer, appreciating the bold character and finding it appealing could be
pretty contentious with society, but in the end, the gangsters make it easy to
decide, giving their audience members “an offer [that they] can’t refuse” (The
Godfather).

16

One of the genre’s biggest, if not its biggest trademark, is its esteemed
violence. The gangster genre is so much associated with the tommy guns, and
the grotesque murders, it is almost impractical separating the two. And while
the idea of death and violence is rather morbid and dark, its presence has found
critical success within films. But why? Cardiologist Dr. Peter Nixon, recognized
particularly in the study of chemical pathways of human arousal, explains that
“[people] become excited [with on-screen violence]” because “arousal caused
by [adrenaline] has a stimulating effect” (qtd. in Hodgkinson). In other words,
“violent films increase adrenaline flow” (Hodgkinson). In past history, many
civilians would flock out to the town’s square to witness a public lynching,
execution by guillotine, or etc., because the near-death experience provided
them with an adrenaline rush. Simply put, the people would envision
themselves in a convicted person’s situation for the rush of excitement and
whatnot; and interestingly, this same pattern continues today instead with
violent films, such found within the gangster genre.

However, violence did not always find favor with its viewer. This is mainly
because around the early 1930s, the gangster film genre was a huge success
because it experimented with new ideas such as switching the roles of criminals
and police officers (in that the films glorified the gangster and degraded the
officers), and by filming uncensored violence. And ironically enough, the reasons
contributing to its success also contributed to its fall. For example, one of the
original gangster films, Scarface: The Shame of a Nation, is accredited to making
violence one of the genre’s most distinctive traits, but is also the main reason
why gangster movies disappeared from the scene for a while—from about 1939
as indicated by Joseph Schaub.

Björn Nordfjörd, a Professor of English Literature and Film Studies at St. Olaf
College, clarifies this statement stating:

17

More than any other film, Scarface contributed to the temporary
elimination of gangster films from the American screen. However, it was also the
one film that had the greatest impact on the development of violence in
American movies. And when the gangster genre returned with a vengeance in
the New Hollywood era, Scarface was at its center … creating something of an
uproar and becoming yet another cornerstone of popular American cinema.

Nordfjörd further explains that all-in-all, the genre has done a great deal for
American cinema in this instance. Without it, there would have been no
cinematic violence, period. And how exciting would the opening scene of Saving
Private Ryan be if everyone carried on unscathed? Or how feared would the
name “Rambo” be if not be for his malicious war escapades and his 14-inch
survival knife? How great of a film would any action movie be if the gangster film
genre had not drawn first blood?

William Young also points out that another reason for the genre’s success

was because the film’s plot and characters were exaggerated reflections of the

viewers, their daily lives, and their inner desires. The genre first begun to

flourish around the 1930s, better known as the Depression Era. During this time,

America was undergoing a huge economic downturn with the crash of its stock

market, resulting in jobs, money, and food becoming a scarcity. Simply put, not

many honorable ways of earning money existed, and thus, the public began to

resort to other things, or at least entertained the thought of it. Strangely

though, this socioeconomic failure accounted for much of the genre’s success.

The films showcased a rebel committing crimes in efforts of seeking a “better

life”, and this is why “[the films] appealed to the popular mentality” at the time:

to do what was needed to be done in order to survive. They too, wanted a

better life but were not as bold as the on-screen gangster to commit such

crimes. So, just as the audience did with viewing violence, they participated the

same way: vicariously. As the gangsters underwent their typical “rags to riches”

story, the viewers did also, but as the gangsters faced their tragic ending, the

viewers returned to their lives, unharmed, and a bit happier. The theatres were

the public’s escape from reality. 18

From the ancient times to our contemporary eras, we have learned that humans
are very strange yet incredible. They can take something so evil and profound,
and within it, see its beauty. They can take a group of people often degraded,
and glorify them. And they can view a film about a murderer with an ego, and
from it, see the American Dream. Despite any personal opinion, it is well
received that the gangster film genre relates to its viewers on a personal basis,
and that is the main reason for its success, via its popular violence. And despite
the films’ tragic fatal endings, the gangster still lives today on the big screens. In
a way, the cinematic gangster has fulfilled its American Dream; it has fought for
something it wanted, and that, the pursuit of happiness, is the American dream.

Octavio Paz: The Voice of

Mexican Culture

By Jose Galvez

Octavio Paz was born on March 31, 1914, in Mexico City, Mexico. Paz
is a very famous poet and is considered one of the major poets of the
20th century. His family was of Mexican and Spanish descent. Octavio’s
grandfather was also a writer which is the way he was introduced to and
became interested in poetry. He began to publish his own poems as a
teenager. Paz was also very interested in law. He attended the
prestigious University of California at Berkeley. Upon graduation he
revisited his homeland but later he returned to the United States as a
professor and taught at different universities. He left law studies to focus
on his poetry, but continued his political career as a Mexican diplomat.
Later in his career, he moved away from Mexico City to Yucatan to
work on his bigger poetry which received worldwide recognition. Paz is
the first Mexican author/poet to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in
1990.

“Luna Silvestre” was the first poem published by Paz in 1933 at
nineteen years old when he was still a law student. Paz was the Mexican
ambassador in Paris. Many of Paz’s poetry was influenced by the
cultural change he experienced while living in Paris. He was inspired in
many ways by the people of different cultures and intellectual diplomats.
As he continued to live in various parts of the planet, the places he was
inspired as he incorporated his personal experiences in his writing that
inspired the world. One of his best known work is The Labyrinth of
Solitude which describes and analyzes his own people, the Mexicans.

20

The Labyrinth of Solitude is an essay that Octavio Paz wrote and was
first published in 1950. This work is made up of nine parts and it is an
analysis of Mexican culture. Octavio Paz begins this writing
introducing the Pachucos. They were the young people who alarmed
the southern cities by their different attitude, appearance, and
“antisocial behavior”. Paz describes the Pachuco as a person who is
stuck between the culture of the United States and of Mexico without
being able to choose which one to settle in. They cannot decide which
values apply and respect more, and in a sense they have cut themselves
from the universe.

In the second chapter, he speaks of the meaning behind the Mexican
people shutting themselves from other people. Octavio Paz uses the
word “solitude” to describe the characteristics of the Mexican people.
He explains that no matter what class he or she is portrayed to be in,
they have the same characteristics. This “mask” is used for protection
and defense. It says that the reason that the Mexican keeps his distance
away from everybody else and keeps to himself is for protection.
Solitude is Paz’s word to describe the Mexican nation.

The story continues as Paz explains how the Mexican people want to
keep and preserve the beliefs of their ancestors, but they want to adopt
some western customs as well. The reason they want to keep the things
of their ancestor is for pride. The Mexican people show lots of pride in
all things. Ancient discoveries by archeologists demonstrate that the
Aztecs were the last to settle in the land of the Mexican Valley. The
Aztecs found many cities while at the same time taking over many of
them. This caused many different cultures to mix and share beliefs.
Soon, all of the traditions mixed and became one. There were many
conflicts along the way, but these cultures united and formed an
incredible society that would dominate many cultures. These beliefs
and traditions are very important to Mexican heritage.

21

Octavio Paz explains the main reasons that have made the
Mexican culture a complex entity. He gives the world a better
understanding of what the Mexican people come from by deeply
explaining many aspects of the culture and history. Paz has a
different view on poetry. He has thought of it as a way of life. He
once said, “Wouldn’t it be better to turn life into poetry rather than
to make poetry from life.” One exceptional example of his
philosophical world view is reflected in a long poem titled “Same
Time.” Octavio Paz is known as one of the great Mexican poets
and his universally read and respected works continue “to please
long and please many.”
