Concord honors Veterans in outdoor ceremony

A new bill passed by CUSAC could mean students wouldn’t have large assign-ments the week before finals.

The Dead Week Bill states that no large assignments may be assigned the week before finals in order to al-low students to devote more time to studying for finals. If the bill passes through the faculty senate mostly un-changed, it will be put to a vote in the weekly SGA meeting. The Dead Week bill will head over to the fac-

ulty senate to be voted on.Students may have noticed

a lack of eggs in the Caf-eteria lately. This is because there was recently a salmo-nella scare, causing a large number of egg products to be recalled. All egg products except for liquid eggs were recalled, meaning that the only eggs students in the caf-eteria will see for breakfast will be scrambled. Lettuce may also be disappearing be-cause of the salmonella scare.

SGA spent a large amount of time discussing the two mov-ie channels Concord pays for every semester. The reason

these channels were brought up for discussion was that the channels are constantly down due to issues with the outside contractor that is in charge of maintaining the channels.

These two channels are only available to students liv-ing on campus, and are sup-posed to be continuous movie channels. The company in charge of the channels has bugs on their program that causes the movie channels to constantly stop working.

For the past semester, Concord has dealt with the service, but when com-plaints only started com-

ing in several days after one of the channels decided to stop working, some faculty members said they realized that no one is really watch-ing these channels anymore.

SGA then discussed what to do with the matter, whether to keep shelling out $9,000 each year to pay for the channels, or to re-allocate the money spent on those channels to other areas, such as purchas-ing new computers or better furniture in the study lounges.

One member suggested try-ing to get a Redbox DVD rental machine on cam-pus. When the topic was

researched, however, it was discovered that Concord would have to place an appli-cation with the Redbox Com-pany, and if Redbox felt that it could make money solely off of the student population, they would pay Concord to place a Redbox on campus. However, Concord’s student population is far too small for the company to feel like they would gain enough revenue to make it worth their while.

Also, SGA is now updat-ing their Facebook and Twit-ter, so check them out online.

As the bright sun radi-ated through an American flag flying overhead, Con-cord University paid trib-ute to veterans and military personnel in a noontime ceremony Nov. 9, 2010.

The Veterans Appreciation and Dedication Ceremony featured the unveiling of a vet-erans memorial near the flag poles in front of Marsh Hall.

Highlights of the program included a 21-gun salute by the Mercer County Vet-erans Council and presen-tation of the colors by the PikeView High School JROTC. The Concord Uni-versity Marching Band per-formed the National Anthem.

Concord University Presi-dent Gregory F. Aloia in-troduced keynote speaker General Robert H. “Doc” Foglesong (USAF, Ret.) call-ing him “a patriot, a son of West Virginia, a veteran of great distinction, a genu-ine leader and my friend.”

A four-star general in the United States Air Force, Fo-glesong was designated by the President of the United States as the Co–Chairman of the Joint US–Russia Com-mission on POWs/MIAs. He is a former President of Mis-sissippi State University, a member of the Concord Uni-versity Board of Governors and a native West Virginian.

Foglesong, who said he

wanted to make his remarks personal, showed the audi-ence the dog tags around his neck which were once worn by his father during military service. He also told the story of a 22-year-old soldier who later received the Medal of Honor for his valor in battle.

The bravery of men and women such as these, he said,

forms “the legacy we are standing on” and has secured “our nation’s most valu-able commodity – freedom.”

“Your sacrifices have bene-fitted complete strangers like me,” Concord University In-terim Vice President for Ad-vancement Alicia Besenyei said to the veterans gathered for the ceremony. “We all

owe a debt to our veterans that can never be repaid.”

In his remarks Aloia called the ceremony a time to “dedicate and reaffirm” a commitment to veterans.

He said that Concord Uni-versity has a leadership role among the state’s institutions of higher learning to provide

veteran-friendly campuses

and to aid in the transitionof veterans from the military

to college to the workforce.Aloia is chairperson of

the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commis-sion’s Veterans Task Force,

Press PhotoConcord Univeresity held a Veterans Appreciation and Dedication Ceremony at the veterans memorial near the flag poles in front of Marsh Hall.

In a landmark decision Thursday, Concord Uni-versity signed a memoran-dum of understanding with Southern West Virginia Com-

munity and Technical Col-lege to offer a collaborative four-year program in early childhood special education.

This program will get its start in Fall of 2011 at Southern’s Wyoming/Mc-Dowell campus in Saulsville

and will consist of tradi-tional on-site courses during evenings and weekends.

Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College has four campuses and two sites in Boone, Lo-gan, Lincoln, Mingo, Raleigh

and Wyo-ming County.

Presidents of both universi-ties expressed e x c i t e m e n t for this part-n e r s h i p .

“This is not only an excit-ing day for Southern but an exciting year for Con-cord as well,” Joanne Jae-ger Tomblin, president of Southern said.

“This not only repre-sents an agree-ment between us but also a collaborative commitment to educa-tion,” Presi-dent Gregory

Aloia said. “We had a vision of how we could work better together and I believe that has been accomplished today.”

Tomblin says the effort was in its most infant stages more than a year ago when both universities met on South-

ern’s Logan County campus. “More than a year ago

we were discussing an opportunity for both of us to work together and look at us now,” she said.

Aloia commended the uni-versity on its “innovative” approaches, saying it is es-sential for today’s world.

“Whether it’s semester in a day or fast track, South-ern’s approaches are essen-tial for the 21st century,” he said. “We want to give stu-dents a seamless education.”

Most importantly, Aloia added, students will improve the lives of many children to come because of this de-gree in special education.

Vice President and Aca-demic Dean, John Da-vid Smith, said this will be a win-win situation for both students and faculty.

“Working with Southern has been great,” he said. “The fac-ulty here are great and student-oriented and you couldn’t ask for a better location.”

Concord University Veteran Advocate George Williams explained the significance of the memorial prior to its un-veiling. He said the “memo-rial wall” contains plaques from every major conflict and salutes service by Concord’s alumni and students. Wil-liams, a veteran, is currently enrolled at the University.

Concord student veter-ans also assisting with the ceremony by unveiling the memorial stones are:

Andrew Pritt, Sr. A 130th Airlift Wing-Communi-cation Flight, and Charles Eary, Private 1st Class, 304th Military Police Com-pany of Army Reserves.

Pritt, Eary and their fel-low student veterans are be-ing assisted in educational endeavors by the Concord

University Veterans Office. Established in 2009, the of-fice works with United States veterans, reservists and active duty service members to uti-lize educational benefits from the Post 9/11 GI Bill. The of-fice also works with student veterans in areas from hous-ing to tutoring to counseling.

Concord University is re-ceiving national recognition for veterans programming. In a report recently released

by Military Times EDGE magazine, Concord Univer-sity ranks 13th in a list of 101 “Best for Vets: Colleges.” The selection, based on fi-nancial assistance, academic flexibility, campus culture and support services, was made from the more than 4,000 colleges and univer-sities invited to participate.

Additionally, Concord University was selected one of America’s Top Military-

Friendly Colleges and Univer-sities by Military Advanced Education magazine in 2009.

A Mobile Vet Center was also on the Concord campus from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. as part of the Nov. 9 veteran’s ceremony. The unit is a mo-bile counseling center for the Department of Veter-ans Affairs (VA) Vet Cen-ter program and is designed to take VA services to rural and underserved veterans.

The CU Carillon is seeking song requests! If you have a song you’d like to hear played on the bells, email it to carillon@concord.edu.

It is a tradition here in the Student Center to sponsor the Salvation Army Christ-mas Angel Program and it is time again to do just that. On Monday, Nov. 15, 2010 we will have Christmas Angel Tags on our tree in the Main Lobby. Each tag repre-sents a child between the age of birth and 13 that needs your help in having a better holiday and Christmas. Your gift(s) may be the only one(s) they receive. The tag provides information on clothing sizes and offers suggestions on toys suitable for

that child and age. When you choose your Angel, you are to remove the bottom por-tion of the tag. Leave the top portion on the tree so that we can identify that it has been selected. Each tag has an identification number that you must write on your

package(s) identifying that specific boy or girl. Gifts do NOT have to be wrapped. Just make sure the id number is on each one. All gifts and donations will be due in the Student Center by December 9th to allow them to be picked up by the Salvation

Army, processed and ready for their distribution party.

If you want to help but cannot select an Angel, you can do so by sending the gift of your choice which will allow the Salvation Army employees to designate the deserving child that will receive it. All gifts are very much appreciated. An-

other way to assist with this endeavor is to donate non-perishable canned or boxed food items that will be distributed to these children and their families.

Share the Hope of Christmas and become a part of this tradition. The children and families will be grateful and you will get a special blessing by participating.

Thank you.

Have a good break and a happy Thanksgiving!Host families are needed for the upcoming Thanksgiving Break. We have several

international students who have requested a host family. Its a great opportunity for you and your family to learn about other countries and cultures by having an interna-tional student stay in your home during the break. In turn, the international student benefits by being able to practice English conversation and learn about American culture first hand in the comfortable, friendly environment of an American home.

Single people, couples, people with children, retired people... neither your marital status nor your age is a factor. Perhaps you are a world traveler or per-haps you’ve never been outside of West Virginia..experience is less important than interest. A host can be an individual, a couple, or a family, anyone who would like to know a student from another land and help him or her to under-

stand our American way of life, our language, our customs, and our community.

Host families provide shelter, basic food and a friendly environment. The students have their own spending money for all other expenses.

If you are willing to host a student, please contact me at your earliest convenience.

Concord University’s Stu-dent Athlete Advisory Com-mittee (SAAC) will be host-ing “Purple Day” to raise awareness about pancreatic cancer during the men’s bas-ketball game on Saturday, Nov. 20. Tip-off will be at 4 p.m. in the Carter Center gymnasium as the Mountain Lions take on West Liberty.

November is National Pan-creatic Cancer Awareness Month. According to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, the disease is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States.

Half of admission re-ceipts from the game and all donations will be giv-en to the Pancreatic Can-cer Action Network.

Cancer survivors will be rec-ognized during halftime. Indi-viduals wishing to participate in the recognition may register prior to the game in the Carter Center lobby. All guests are being asked to wear purple to the game to show their sup-port. Purple ribbons will be handed out to further promote pancreatic cancer awareness.

Head Athletic Trainer Tra-cy McCallister says “Purple Day” is a new event, but she

hopes it will be held annu-ally. She also encourages at-tendance “to show support for promoting pancreatic cancer awareness, to join us in rec-ognizing all cancer survivors in attendance at the game, and to come out for our home opener for a very promising 2010-2011 Concord Univer-sity men’s basketball team.”

For additional information on the “Purple Day” event contact McCallister at tmc-callister@concord.edu or 304-384-5954. Visit http://www.pancan.org/ to learn more about the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.

Performances begin at 8 p.m. each evening.

“Vanities,” by Jack Heifner, traces the story of three girls from Texas on their journey from high school to adult-hood. The three-act play spotlights the trio as cheer-leaders, then sorority sisters, and finally, young women.

The cast includes four Con-cord University students: se-nior Christin Walker as Mary; sophomore Ainsley Miller as

Joanne; and freshmen Cort-ney Vannatter and Chelsey Rowe sharing the role of Kathy. Rowe will perform on Wednesday and Friday and Vannatter will perform on Thursday and Saturday.

The performance is di-rected and designed by Concord University Pro-fessor of Communication Arts Dr. Thomas Gambill.

The production team in-cludes Michael Cork, shop coordinator and master car-penter; Greg Stamp, master carpenter and lights; Miller, visuals and sound; and Walk-er, costume design and props. The Theatre Workshop is in charge of set construction.

The play is being produced

at Concord by special ar-rangements with Samuel French, Inc., New York, NY.

Admission is $5 for adults. Concord University fac-ulty, staff and students will be admitted free-of-charge.

A limited number of tickets are available for each perfor-mance of “Vanities.” Tick-ets may be reserved through the Concord University Box Office at <http://www.Con-cordUEvents.com> www.ConcordUEvents.com or by calling (304) 384-5101 or e-mailing <mailto:BoxOffice@c o n c o r d . e d u >

CU theatre’s Vanities rescheduled

Last week, the Om-elet Spot in Princeton was hit by a car twice and is now facing renovations.

Authorities say the driver of

the vehicle was angry at a girl in the restaurant and proceed-ed to run his car into the side of the building twice. They added that he was not under the influence of alcohol and was arrested after the event.

Currently, that side of the

building is covered in plas-tic on the outside and ply-wood on the inside, taking up a significant amount of space in the small restaurant.

When asked to comment further, an Omelet Spot wait-ress knew no further details.

Concord University’s Phi Alpha Delta Pre-Law Frater-nity Chapter sent three teams to the PAD National Confer-ence and PAD National Mock Trial Competition this year. The competition was stiff with 17 teams representing the University of Florida, Tex-as Tech, Indiana, and many other Division I schools. That did not deter the Con-cord students and the tourna-ment ended in sweet victory.

Concord Team 2, consisting of Kelsey Queen, Grace Hur-

ney, Ben Umstead, and Ange-la Cannon, placed 3rd overall in the competition, and CU-PAD President, Jacob Cody Simmons, won the award for Outstanding Witness.

The tournament consisted of three rounds. Teams com-peted as prosecution and de-fense in the first two rounds. The third round is a random selection of sides. Concord’s Team 2 competed against both teams from the University of Florida who went on to win First and Second place overall.

The Student Government Association, generous dona-tions, and fundraising helped

get the teams to Washington this year to compete. This is the 6th year in a row that Concord has placed in the finals of the competition.

Most of the students ac-credit the success to the prep-aration and aid of the mock trial professor, and PAD ad-visor, Marshall Campbell.

It was a good showing for Concord yet again, and it looks as though there will be many more years of suc-cess. After all, Ben Um-stead and Grace Hurney are both underclassmen

On Monday, November 15, 2010, Concord Univer-sity’s student representative to the Board of Governors, Josh Lawson, was asked to come speak before the West Virginia State Legislative Oversight Committee on Ed-ucation Accountability. This invitation comes by means of his position as chair of the West Virginia State Ad-

visory Council of Students.The committee convened

at 5 p.m. and Lawson was first on the agenda. Lawson relayed a great deal of infor-mation to the members of the committee, while explaining the concerns of the students and the discussions of the advisory council. Much of what Lawson had to say fo-cused around financial aid, transferability of credits, and issues between commu-nity and technical colleges

and four-year institutions.Members of the Student Ad-

visory Committee, as well as Bryan Noland, Chancellor of the West Virginia Higher Ed-ucation Policy Commission (HEPC), joined Lawson. Both Lawson and Chancellor No-land took questions from the legislators on the committee.

Lawson will meet with the HEPC on December 3rd to present on similar issues.

A lot of things had to hap-pen for the Concord football team to have a chance to qual-ify for the NCAA playoffs.

None of them did.Most Division II football

observers agreed that for Concord to be considered for a post-season berth it would need a victory over West Lib-erty Saturday afternoon at Callaghan Stadium, Charles-ton to beat West Virginia Wesleyan in the WVIAC, Virginia State to beat Shaw in the CIAA and Bloomsburg to beat Mercyhurst in the PSAC.

None of which happened. All the day’s results went against CU, including a 56-33 defeat at the hands of the Hill-toppers on a picturesque No-vember afternoon in Athens.

The loss snapped Concord’s four-game winning streak and dropped CU to 4th place in the conference. Still, Con-cord completed a remark-able season at 8-3, 5-3 and left Mountain Lion Nation looking forward to next year.

Riding touchdown runs of 74 and 10 yards from Kevon Calhoun, West Lib-erty bolted out to a 21-6

lead after the 1st quarter.Concord answered with

one-yard TD runs by Chris Rodriguez and Zack Grossi in the 2nd quarter to trail 21-20 at halftime.

CU opened the second half with a 16-play, 82-yard, 4:53 drive, capped by Brian Ken-nedy’s one-yard TD plunge, to take its first lead at 27-21.

But West Liberty reeled off the next 28 points. Cal-houn ran for touchdowns of 3, 10 and 73 yards, and Zach Amedro added a one-yard TD plunge to put the Hill-toppers ahead 49-27 mid-way through the 4th quarter.

Concord came back with a three-yard TD pass from Zack Grossi to Thomas Mayo, but WLU replied with a nine-yard TD pass from Amedro to Ryan Tra-vis to close out the scoring.

As anticipated, Satur-day’s game featured a co-pious amount of yardage.

West Liberty, the nation’s leading offense, produced 601 total yards on 77 plays.

Calhoun rushed 22 times for 258 yards and five touchdowns.

Amedro, the leading QB in Division II history, went 34-51 for 356 yards with two touchdowns and no intercep-

tions. He ends his collegiate career with 14,733 yards.

Travis caught 12 passes for 136 yards and a TD.

Concord, the #4 offense in the nation, ran an eye-pop-ping 103 plays for 557 yards.

Brian Kennedy topped CU with 33 rushes for 139 yards and a TD, while adding 10 re-ceptions for 103 more yards.

Grossi went 30-53 for 359 yards and two TDs, but also threw two interceptions.

Mayo hauled in eight pass-es for 98 yards and a TD.

CU and West Liber-ty combined to run 180 plays for 1158 yards.

Penalties plagued Con-cord for the second straight week. The officials flagged CU 14 times for 147 yards, including a pair of curious offensive pass interference calls in the end zone that stalled promising CU drives.

2010 was CU’s first eight-win season since 1991.

Saturday was Senior Day at Callaghan. It was the final game in maroon and gray for Josh Arrington, Jared Brown, Thomas Hearons, Bryan Roof, Chris Shatley, Nathan Tanner and Justin Williams.

Lady Mountain Lions run down WVIAC Championship

Concord comes up short

Concord was not hap-py with just winning their first ever WVIAC confer-ence championship for the women, they decided to blow by their competition.

Concord would place four runners in the top twelve and win by a huge margin of 26 points. It is safe to say they left

their competition in the dust. The team was led by Danielle

Pye, a senior from Lancaster, England, who had already won two events this year. Pye would win again, taking first in the 6k race with a time of 23:14, beating Anna Cote of Seton Hill by 11 seconds.

But it was a team effort from the Mountain Lions in the race at Cedar Creek State Park in Glenville, WV. Chelsea Calloway would

be the next Lady Lion to cross the finish line, coming in fifth. Not far behind her, Tabitha Whited would fin-ish eighth. The route was on.

Rachel Williams, Mical-ynn Miller, and Katie Backus would all cross the finish line shortly after, adding the final blow to a big win for Concord.

Coach Mike Cox was very impressed with the girls and their determination, com-menting that “We have come

so far since my first year coaching here, I had trouble even fielding a team for a long time, so to finally be on top is awesome! I want us to always have a chance to win.”

The girls took that chance and dominated. But Cox would also gain recogni-tion, gaining the WVIAC Cross Country Coach of the Year. Cox, who has coached at Concord since 2004, has won conference titles in both

the Men’s and Women’s cross country events now.

But after the win, the ac-colades would continue for the team. The Lady Moun-tain Lions would be ranked tenth in the Atlantic Re-gion, the first time they have been ranked this year.

Three Concord runners; Pye, Calloway and Whited would make the first team all confer-ence. Rachel Williams would also make the second team,

putting four Concord runners on an all conference team.

But the Lions could move up in the rankings even more and gain a few more acco-lades. Concord will compete this week at the NCAA Di-vision II Atlantic Regional at Cary, North Carolina.

We wish the Lady Lions the best as they continue on their journey, and hope they run into another big win on Saturday.

Recently, the CU men’s soccer team has faced some changes. Due to failure to cooperate with student-athlete standards, five play-ers from the team were dis-missed on November 1.

“The soccer program has some standards in place that the student-athletes are ex-pected to adhere to. Some players were dismissed because they did not ad-here to some of these stan-dards,” Steve Barrett, head men’s soccer coach, said.

Barrett did not wish to re-lease the names of the in-dividuals, but assured that “student-athletes who come in the soccer program know what is expected of them regarding our standards.”

“I felt for the program to

move forward and move in a different direction I had to make changes,” Barrett said. “I communicated this to each individual during meetings I had with each of them and con-sequently I released them.”

The soccer season is now over, with the team ty-ing three games and losing three games 1-0 in confer-ence, one of which was to #4 in the country, Charleston.

“The issue is closed and the program is moving on. I am looking forward to the future of the program and working with the remain-ing student-athletes,” Bar-rett said. “The releasing of these student-athletes I hope will affect the program in a positive manner. We will find out how much in due time.”

Men’s Soccer Coach Steve Barrett

It was a beautiful day in Morgantown this past Satur-day as the Mountaineers took on the Cincinnati Bearcats at Milan Puskar Stadium. The Mountaineers come back to play after losing two games back-to-back, a first for the team since 2008. The last two losses for WVU came from Syracuse and UCONN, UCONN beating the Moun-taineers for the first time ever.

A lot of speculation and un-certainty surrounded Head Coach Bill Stewart and his staff coming into the Cincin-nati game, namely the Moun-taineers’ inability to score points and to make adjust-ments in the second half. Com-ing into the Cincinnati game, WVU had only scored a grand total of six second half points in the previous three Big East Conference games combined.

The Mountaineers seemed to have regained some swag-

ger by defeating Cincinnati 37-10 on their home field, and for now silencing the crit-ics as they head into the last three games on the schedule.

WVU’s offense looked to be back on track racking up 419 yards of total offense and hanging 37 points on the board. Quarterback Geno Smith was almost flawless, going 15 of 25 for 174 yards, and four touchdown passes, all coming in the first half.

Although Noel Devine was a little under the weather for this game he still managed to rush for 77 yards on 18 car-ries and a score. Jock Sand-ers and Tavon Austin both had an outstanding day, both catching two touchdowns apiece. As always, flying un-der the radar, the WVU de-fense proved to be the back-bone of the team by holding the Bearcats to only 10 points and 281 yards of total offense.

WVU’s defense is the only team in the FBS who hasn’t given up more than 21 points in a single game all sea-

son, and are only giving up 13 points per game which is the 3rd best in the FBS.

WVU finishes out the reg-ular season with their next two games on the road in-cluding next week’s game versus Louisville. After that comes a huge game for the Mountaineers, the backyard brawl, against Pitt on No-vember 26th then finishing up with a home game versus Rutgers on December 4th.

At the moment there is no clear-cut favorite in the Big East, and the Big East Title is still up for grabs. With an-other month of football to be played before anything is determined, it is to be noted, that if in fact the swagger is back, and WVU can “run the table” they could indeed win the Big East and find them-selves returning to a BCS bowl for the first time since 2008 (where the Mountain-eers defeated Oklahoma).

Imagine sitting in the cafeteria trying to finish your lunch. You’re trying to hold a conversation with the other person at the table, and things are really peace-ful, until the people at the tables on either side of you start yelling and scream-ing at each other. They start using words that you don’t really care for in the Eng-lish language and now your lunch seems to turn to ash in your mouth and you just want to leave the rudeness.

As you know, my column is about stuff that has happened to me that I deem worthy enough to write about. So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to find out that this happened to me. I was sitting down to lunch with one of my friends, when the people at the nearby tables disturbed us. They were yelling across our table at each other, some-times using the “n word.”

I am pretty sure that everyone knows which “n word” I refer to. This word truly offends me. Some might be reading this and asking, “why would she be insulted? She’s not even of African descent.” Correc-tion: I am of African descent. My great-great-great-great grandparents were African slaves. If this shocks you, then look up the history of Puerto Rico. I’d start educat-ing everyone about this, but that’s not the issue at hand.

The issue is that everyone should be insulted by this word. Whether you’re black, white, Hispanic, Asian, European, whatever, this word should not exist in our vocabulary unless referring

to the oppression and slav-ery of the African people.

America has come a long way from the slavery and racism that plagued our country in its early years. To see all these advances go to waste with these racist slurs being thrown around sick-ens me. The term was used as a tool of oppression and was seen as a great insult.

According to Diction-ary.com, the slur means “a person of any race or origin regarded as contemptible, inferior, ignorant, etc; a victim of prejudice similar to that suffered by blacks; a person who is economi-cally, politically, or socially disenfranchised.” This means that using this word isn’t just degrading to the people of African descent, but to all people who have been oppressed by this country.

What I really don’t get is: if you’re in college, why would you refer to yourself as ignorant? Isn’t the fact that you made it to college proof that you’re not igno-rant? And for a people who have been fighting against oppression and racism, why keep this term around as if it was a term of endear-ment? Your oppressors used it against your ancestors, and yet you sit around yelling it at each other like nothing.

I think that if you can’t stop calling each other racial slurs then you shouldn’t be in col-lege. Our ancestors died for the right to be seen as human beings, not as slaves, not as inferiors, but as humans. And look around us, we’re throw-ing it in their faces, and using it every day. Wake up people and think before you talk.

I am well aware that this edition of Imagine might stir up some heat. But, I’m hop-ing it stirs up the right kind of heat. Don’t get mad at me for showing you what’s going on right under your noses. Get mad that this has been going on for far too long and no one seems to be doing anything about it. If you have an opinion to share with me, email me at di-azm30@mycu.concord.edu.

Imagine...

“The Campus Beautiful” has collected an assemblage of monuments and standing stones that tell stories that are sometimes interwoven with those of the trees and other growing things that we share the campus with.

Our big monument known to everyone is the obe-lisk that marks the grave of Captain James Harvey French, who served as the first principal of Concord when it started out as a school for teachers. He has been somewhat peripatetic after his death, what with the construction of new build-ings and a new campus, until having reached his current resting place, not far from the front gate. The monu-ment is of smooth gray gran-ite, whose gleam makes it an attraction for Chinese thir-teen-spotted ladybird beetles.

Next to the historical mark-er in front of the student cen-ter is a small granite block engraved “CUTRIGHT TREE”. It was erected in

honor of a professor in the biology department. The tree that it refers to is long gone. The Bradford pear tree that stands near it is much young-er, not being more than 25 years old. The original tree was likely part of the origi-nal grove of white pine trees planted in the area where the student center now stands. These trees were planted in 1915 and have been the inspiration for a poem about Concord and for the name of the yearbook. There are only a few left, to the west of the student center building, along with a row of spruces.

The pines are recogniz-able as white pines because the needles are arranged in fascicles, or bundles, of five. I remember learning in school: “W-H-I-T-E: Five Letters in the Name, Five Needles in the Cluster”. Dr Tonya McKinley pointed out to me a new dawn redwood that has been planted near the grove. It is decidu-ous, unlike most conifers, and is of a species that had been thought extinct since the Miocene until a small

stand was found in China.The monument that takes

the greatest amount of leg-work to get to is the “Foot-print of the Mountain Lion” that is on the steep slope just under Wilson hall, where toboggans are launched in the winter. A planting of burningbush spells out the “CU” lion footprint logo, in memory of Jack R. Grose, Class of 1962.

To the north of the admin-istration building is a home-plate-shaped metal monu-ment that marks the location of home plate of the original baseball field. The writing, in part, says “dedicated to all Concordians who stood here hoping to clear the pines in left field or rattle the music building in right field.”

In addition to these com-memorative monuments, Concord also has a geologi-cal survey marker. It is listed in the catalogue at www.ngs.noaa.gov as GX3377. It is a bit hard to see. One can find it by starting at the place where the bonfire is held and walking up the hill to the foot of the concrete stairway

ascending the hill to Sarvay Hall. The marker is made up of three granite stones flush to the ground whose joinings make the configuration of a letter T. The catalog says that there is supposed to be a standard survey marker there, but perhaps the marker has been decommissioned. It was intended to be used in conjunction with an azi-muth mark in the lawn of a two-story house on Beckett Hill north of the football field, but the line of sight to there was blocked when the then new fine arts center was built. There are sev-eral reference marks closer to proximity to GX3377; perhaps one of these is the small hole, daubed with white paint, drilled in the north end of the third step up in the aforementioned stairway to Sarvay Hall.

In this discourse I hope to have created more aware-ness of things that are small, but exceedingly wise.

My thanks to Steve Jarvis and Tonya McKinley for help in finding the prov-enance of the Cutright Tree.

CU Theatre presents Vanities Rescheduled for Dec. 2-4 at 8 p.m.

H.C. Paul Theatre of the Alexander Fine Arts Center

Facebook introduces ‘Messages’: Feels more like IM than email

The Ritz Theatre-Cinema and Performing Arts is host-ing “Got Talent” night for local artisans. On the first Monday of every month the general public is invited to participate as an artist or an audience member. Entrant talents are judged by a three-

team panel that is looking for the best overall local tal-ent. Each month a winner is selected and placed in the Fi-nalist’s Category where the 12 artists will compete next October 3, 2011 for Hinton’s Most-Talented Artist. All va-rieties of talent are acceptable including, but not limited to,

vocalists, musicians, danc-ers, and magicians. Theatre Manager David King’s Call-For-Entries occurs Monday through Friday the month prior to “Got Talent” night at the MountainPlex Proper-ties office located above The Ritz Theatre (304-466-8015).

The audience tried to figure out “who did it” as members of the Beckley Center’s intro-duction to theater class per-formed the murder mystery, A Crabapple Family Reunion in the student center ballroom on Tuesday, November 9.

The play was presented as a dinner theater and spectators enjoyed an hour of food and socializing before the show.

This play, in which the audi-ence members become family

members, takes place at the Crabapple family reunion. Characters such as Aunt Thelma Crabapple, event co-ordinator, and famous Cousin Myrtle Crabapple, author, and Elizabeth Crockpot, TV personality, keep the dinner guests entertained in this play.

A Crabapple Family Re-union was written and direct-ed by Karen Vuranch. Vur-anch has performed in many plays herself, as well as writ-ing and directing. According to wventerprises.com, Vur-anch is “known nationally

for her work and has toured extensively through West Vir-ginia and the United States.”

Vuranach has also preformed in plays such as Coal Camp Memories and Homefront.

Some of the leading ac-tors included Jessica Barnibi, Neil Weidensall, Amy Chan-dler, Juanita Burgess, Tina Gayhart, and Celia Laverty.

Vuranch, who played Aunt Thelma Crabapple, and the rest of the Crabapple cast really showed Concord University a little “mur-der served family style.”

Student Life Editor Jinx, by Meg Cabot, is a breathtaking and thrilling story. Full of adventure, teen love, and inspiration, this book was an awesome read.

Jean Honeychurch is known as “Jinx” by her family and friends because of all the accidents and un-lucky incidents that keep happening around her; from being born during a lighten-ing storm, to having a boy stalk her and eventually making her have to move away, many things keep going wrong in her life.

When Jinx moves to New York to live with her moth-er’s sister, she didn’t expect to meet new friends, a new crush, and a new cousin. Jinx’s cousin, Torrence, has changed since the last time

the two girls met, and Jinx doesn’t know if she likes the new “Tori.” She finds out that Tori is into skipping

school, drugs, smoking, and witchcraft. Yes, witchcraft.

Jinx goes through the whole story dealing with being the new girl in school, having a crush on her cousin’s own

crush, and having to witness Tori’s witch-craft madness. Spells go wrong and drama ensues, then a surprise ending has you jump-ing up from your seat.

If you’re into teen fiction, magic, and drama, I would defi-nitely recommend that you pick up a copy of this book (or you can borrow mine). This book will definitely keep you on edge and you never know how the story will go. Meg Cabot is a really great writer. More works by her that you might enjoy are the Princess

Diaries series, Pants on Fire, Avalon High, and much more.

Today [Nov. 16, 2010], Facebook CEO Mark Zuck-erberg announced a ma-jor overhaul to the social network’s messaging sys-tem, and it’s certainly not a ‘Gmail killer’ as expected.

The amaz-ing thing? That’s not the overhaul’s in-tent–in fact, F a c e b o o k dubbed it ‘the modern mes-saging sys-tem.’ Zucker-berg doesn’t believe that email is the way of the future, so he designed the new messaging sys-tem to function (and look) more like chat than Gmail.

So what exactly is the dif-ference between Facebook and regular email? It incor-porates emails, Facebook messages, SMS, and other chat clients. Eventually VoIP may also be in play. Instead of having some chats here and some texts there, ev-

ery time you talk to some-one it will become part of a stream of information.

And while you can col-lect it all at an @facebook.com email address, it’s not mandatory. You can redi-rect your Gmail messages there, for instance. Also, an iPhone app update is be-ing developed that incorpo-

rates Facebook Messages.Other differences between

Facebook Messages and email include no subject lines, no CC, or BCC. You can send a message just by hitting the Enter key. Zuck-erberg wasn’t kidding when he saidMessages won’t be a Gmail killer. For at least a couple months, Messages will look far more like Yahoo Messenger than Yahoo Mail.

One of the best components of the new Facebook feature is how wonderfully organized it is compared to any other messaging experience to date. Facebook will introduce the Social Inbox, which sorts your personal messages, pri-oritizing notes from friends and setting aside people you aren’t as close with. The de-

fault setting is very pri-vate, which is a very good thing, meaning that onlyme-ssages from friends will be seen (and ‘junk mail’ will go to a sepa-rate folder).

Facebook’s making it clear

with Messages that it has its eye on the future, as a new generation increasingly abandons email as an op-tion for communication. By staying a full step ahead of the competition and adding a whole new set of features to its messaging portfolio, Facebook is positioning it-self to be more like Google, and less like MySpace.
