no, it’s not your imagination. Ashtrays on the top of trash containers have disappeared; their aqua liners now flutter in the breeze. Black-tint-ed cat litter filled ash trays have not been moved to more conspicuous spots as an aesthetic land-scaping enhancement.

These changes are the result of adjusting the smoking areas on campus in order to comply with the official university requirement of a 25 foot smoke free area surrounding doorways, ac-cording to Denny Bareis, Public Safety officer.

Queenly Cate in elizabeth: the golden yearsReviewed by Roy Flannagan

elizabeth is back, and now she is elizabeth the great. Cate Blanchett is the most regal-looking empowered female godhead figure since katha-rine Hepburn as eleanor of Aquitane in Lion in Winter. She is almost as witchy-bitchy looking as Betty Davis as Queen elizabeth i in the old black and white film The Private Lives of elizabeth and essex.

She still has geoffrey rush as Sir Francis Wals-ingham, who, like Dick Cheney, sponsors tortur-ing people all for the public good and the benefit of his ruler. But elizabeth, as Cate Blanchett pointed out in a recent interview, led her people into battle against the Spanish, sounding some-thing like Shakespeare’s Henry V as she was riding that white horse.

never mind some annoying little historical details, like the difference in ages between Sir Walter raleigh and elizabeth (she has a crush on him in the movie, but lives vicariously through his marriage to elizabeth Throckmorton). We have moved from joseph Fienes as elizabeth’s robert Dudley in the first elizabeth movie - and he is the english heartthrob who played Shakespeare in Shakespeare in Love - to Clive owen, the latest BBC detective series heartthrob, who plays raleigh as adventurer, kisser of elizabeth, and swash-buckler who is nevertheless a good daddy to his baby. So what if his wife, as played by Abbie Cornish, is a little insipid and perhaps too pretty to play a clever lady in waiting who eventually for her husband out of the Tower? So what if raleigh did provide a ship for the fight against the Armada but apparently only watched some coastal battles during the short war with Spain? And is Clive owens’s raleigh quite deep enough to be not only an excellent poet in his later days under james i and the author, from the Tower, of The History of the World (1614)?

This sequel relies more on computer graphics in the climactic Armada scenes; its plot is thinner; it is not as good at intimate details or small-talk dia-logue; but whathehell, it is a beautiful movie, with beautiful cinematography and camera angles ( the old from the other side of the fireplace shot), and Cate Blanchett convinces us that a woman might make a damned good ruler.

to the editor:Congratulations on the new revised paper. it will

be an asset to the school and hopefully continue the tradition of the Shrimp.

i have several questions and a comment. The ques-tions are how often will the paper come out, how does someone submit an article to the paper, and how do we find out about deadlines for submission? The Psychology Club usually as one or several submis-sions per paper so answers to these questions are important to us.

The comment has to do with the article written about Clubfest. it seems to me that the article was selective in representation to the exclusion of rec-ognition of other very active campus clubs such as the Psychology Club. The Psychology Club had four representatives in attendance including the faculty

advisor. Further, the club was able to sign about 20 students as member attesting to the interest. Attest-ing to the selective representation in the article is the fact that about one third of the article and one of the two pictures dealt with faith based organizations and their church affiliations, and space to talk about the Bank of America and Sam’s Club. i don’t see how local churches, Bank of America, and Sam’s Club should take precedence over campus student organizations such as the Psychology Club. it is hard enough to engage students in campus activities so discussion of Club Fest should be seen as an opportunity for the “student paper” to support all clubs and their activi-ties. respectfully submitted, Bill Boggan, Psychology Club faculty advisor

Editor’s Note: We welcome all contributions: send to uscbnews@gwm.sc.edu.

i confess: i have a fire phobia. i have had it since i was a child and my sister woke up smelling smoke

and found a smoldering electric blanket. it was reinforced when as a young teen i returned home one

afternoon to find our living room, dining room, and kitchen blackened by a cooking fire. Fire is my

horror, and my worst nightmares have involved it. my neighbor burns yard debris constantly, and much

to my discomfort. i cringe driving by our Lowcountry control-burns.

The recent wildfires in California i could view as remote, as much a part of living in California as their

earthquakes. The “Beach House Blaze” as the mainstream press has already tagged our mother school’s

tragic disaster, is not. These kids were just having a good time, not tempting fate by coexisting within a

geographic location subject to natural disasters and getting caught.

A couple of our fellow USCB students were friends with at least one of the victims. our hearts go out

to them. our brains struggle to understand.

Sadly, the only thing any of us can do now is to grieve along with the friends and families of those who

were lost, and to try to keep anything like this from happening in the future.

Fire safety is paramount, yet despite horror stories like the one that has now been shown to us in

a very personal way, many students disregard it as something some one else takes care of for us. it

is the now dim nagging of our parents, or the firemen who came to teach us stop, drop, and roll in

elementary school.

We may never know what caused this tragedy in our Carolina family, but the cold truth is that each of

us needs to take personal responsibility for being a bit paranoid about fire safety. We need to double

check any combustibles before going to bed, and know where we could find a way out of a burning

building BeFore it happens. This means paying attention when you stay overnight away from home

any time, any place, and not just in hotels. “Be aware of your surroundings,” is always good advice.

Fire safety web sites abound on the internet. Take five minutes to review some of them. it may save

your own life, or that of someone you love.

sga sand shark Crossfire debates a hot topic

By: jeremiah glenn, President of SgA

Pictured are the participants in the Sand Shark Crossfire Debate on illegal immigration. Held as the second in the series of the Student government Association’s “Think globally” campaign, two teams of four students each gathered in the Hargray Building lobby on october 24 at 3:00 p.m. The debate was followed by a presentation, and Q & A forum open to all students.

For more details or to be a part of the next exciting event, contact jeremiah glenn at glenn_uscb@yahoo.com or at (843) 540-3783.

“Think Globally: Jena 6 Panel Discussion” kicked off Septem-ber 26 at the University of South Carolina Beaufort’s Bluffton campus.

It was the first of the Student Government Association’s year long “Think Globally” cam-paign. This series of programs is designed to challenge students to think critically and about the effect of global forces on vari-ous local and national issues. To kickoff to this campaign, the Stu-dent Government Association, along with the African American Student Association (AASA) and Department of Social Sciences, co-sponsored a panel discus-sion that focused on the “Jena 6” case.

Gathering to discuss the Jena 6 case in light of its national and international implications were four USCB professors: Dr. Gor-don Haist (Political Science), Dr.

Randolph Hawkins (Sociology/Human Services), Dr. Cherryl Garner (Psychology), Dr. Colin Pearce (Political Science). They were joined by James Gardner, assistant director of Athletics and Recreation. Nearly 90 students, community leaders, faculty and staff turned out and shared their opinions and insights about what was/is happening in Jena, Louisi-ana and all over the country.

Students and community lead-ers asked many probing ques-tions, and some older community members in the audience were able to help students see and un-derstand the connections between what happened in Jena and the problems of economic and racial injustice in the South Carolina Lowcountry. Also offered were suggestions aimed at developing solutions to the problem.

Thomas Barnwell, long time resident of Hilton Head, said

students should immediately write letters to the president and governor of Louisiana, letting them know how we as a com-munity feel about the treatment of the Jena 6. Student, faculty and community leaders agreed there should be follow-up from student leadership and from other levels of the University on this issue.

Jeremiah Glenn and Chez Mar-tinelli have written a proposal to be presented to the student senate. The details of this proposal will be announced after it has been discussed and voted on. They have begun coordinating with the AASA to draft a letter to the governor of Louisiana expressing concern about this situation.

Anyone interested in partici-pating in this important issue or any other SGA “Think Globally” initiative should contact SGA President, Jeremiah Glenn at glenn3@uscb.edu.

by Claudia P CarmonaStaff WriterChichén itzá was one of the 21 finalists in the

campaign to choose the new 7 Wonders of the World, and was among the final seven announced on 07-07-2007. each is recognized as having truly global meaning, contributing to a part of our com-mon worldwide cultural heritage.

The mayan name “Chich’en itza” means “at the mouth of the well of the itza (people).” This famous temple city was the political and economic center of mayan civilization. The pyramid of kukulcan itself was the last, and arguably the greatest, of all mayan temples.

Since the Yucatán Peninsula has no rivers, the three natural sinkholes (cenotes) at Chichén itzá made it a good place for a city, providing plenty of water all year. Two of these cenotes still exist—the most famous is the “Cenote of Sacrifice,” sacred to the maya rain god Chaac. offerings of jade, pottery and incense were thrown into the well, and oc-casionally, during times of bad drought, a human sacrifice. However, there is no proof to the legend that many beautiful, young women were sacrificed.

About 987, a Toltec king named Quetzalcóatl

arrived with an army from central mexico, and, with local mayan allies, made Chichén itzá his capital. The art and architecture from this period are a mix of maya and Toltec styles, such as the “Temple of the Warriors,” which features an altar statue known as a chac mool.

in the center of Chichén itzá is the Temple of kukulcan, often called “el Castillo” (the castle). it is a step pyramid, with square terraces and staircases up each of the four sides to the temple on top.

great sculptures of plumed serpents run down the northern staircase and, because of how the shadows fall, seem to move on the spring and fall equinoxes. inside, visitors can enter an older pyramid and climb up to the high room with king kukulcan’s stone jaguar Throne, painted red with jade-green spots.

There is also a large court at Chichén itzá for play-ing a game called “pok ta pok,” which is believed to have involved throwing a ball through a ring on the wall seven meters (around 23 ft) above the ground. The captain of the team that first scored was be-headed as a sacrifice to the gods and thought to rise directly to heaven.

Education Club Reactivated

The Newman Club New at USCBThe newman Club has been formed to serve the

spiritual and social needs of the Catholic Students at USCB.

newman clubs are found on most major univer-sity campuses across the US, and there is a very large group at USC in Columbia. The club gets its name from Cardinal newman, a former oxford professor and fellow of oriel College who spent a great deal of his life serving Catholic students.

The club will focus on scripture sharing, faith de-velopment, social gatherings and fun times. There will also be open discussions of a moral and/or ethical nature.

The group intends to pray, play and strengthen their faith in god. Understanding the tight sched-ule of college students, meetings are kept short.Catholic students at USCB as well as faculty and staff are encouraged to join the group in cele-brating your faith and studying Catholic beliefs. Christian brothers and sisters from other denomi-nations are also welcome to visit.

The group is supported by Saint gregory the great Catholic Church in Bluffton and Catholic Campus ministry in the Diocese of Charleston. Call Deacon rich D’Angelo at (843) 705-4709 for info.

Wilson Points USCB Students Towards Career Success

elizabeth Wilson is the new Director of Career and Disability Services at USCB, and recently presented a job search skills seminar to english majors in the South Library. Wilson offered useful information and support to the group, most of whom will be graduating this Spring. According to Wilson, anyone graduating in Spring should already have started their job search, and could very well have a position locked in by the time diplomas go out in may. included in the topical information provided were excellent examples of resumes which accentuate the skills a college student may have acquired without having work experience. Wilson also provided a list of catch words to include when describing abilities which take those skills learned through research, synthesis of ideas, writing and collaborative projects to show how they can be related to the specific job for which one is applying. Wilson is available to review resumes and she has a wealth of information on the sources for cover letters, interview skills, career specific web sites, and the do’s and don’t of the job search. The office of the Director of Career and Disability Services is located inside the oSP office on the first floor of the Hargray Building. Call Wilson at 208-8263 to set up an appointment.

“raMadorM” proposal Being Considered By CoMMitteeBy Amarien Baldwin An offer by Beaufort developer Dick Stewart and his 303 Associates group to sell the ramada inn on Boundary Street in downtown Beaufort to USCB for use as student dorm housing is under consideration, according to University officials. An investigative committee has been formed to research the offer and make recommendations. Considerations for converting the property into usable dorm space for students will involve the cost of renovations and necessary modifications to the property, as well as the addition of staff and personnel. The distance from the USCB north campus main facility is also an issue to be considered, due to the necessity of additional transportation services, security needs, and other factors. The administration is awaiting the committee’s recommendations on the $4.3 million offer of the marsh front property before making additional comments.

Hotel space on Boundary Street in Beaufort has been offered for sale to USCB for conversion into student housing space.

Ruggiere Driving Influence in USCB Golf Team’s SuccessFrom USCBathletics.com

As a young seven year old growing up in Athens, GA, USCB golfer, Ryan Ruggiere rode around the golf course with his father, occasionally getting out to hit a few shots. Now, fourteen years later, Ruggiere has become a leader on the Sand Shark golf team not only with his golf exploits, but also with a calming leadership role. Through the first four tournaments in USCB history, Ruggiere has led the team in three events including a most recent second place finish in the Fall Classic Tournament in Lake Wales, FL. Finishing just two shots behind the leader, Ruggiere was even par for the tournament with a 141 total, shooting rounds of 71 and 70. Ryan claims that his short game, pitching and putting, have always been his strongest part of his game. After spending a year and a half at Ole Miss and not playing on the golf team, Ryan missed the competitive days he experienced in both junior golf and high school. His family had vacationed in Hilton Head his whole life and Ryan could see a new USCB campus being built while driving by on Route 278 and he wondered if USCB would ever have a golf team. Ruggiere had fallen in love with the area and the many golf courses and began to wonder about the possibilities. While attending this spring’s Verizon Heritage Tournament, he met USCB Athletic Director and Golf Coach Kim Abbott and decided very quickly that he wanted to be part of history at USCB and be part of the first golf team. “This team is better than we expected. We (the team) all get along and mesh very well,” said Ruggiere. He added that his teammates “are a great group of guys.” Ruggiere said the team goes into each tournament thinking they are the team to beat, but added, “We have the potential now to win because we see are as talented as any of the other teams we are competing against, but most of us have been out of competitive golf for a while and so we feel when the competitive experience returns, mixed with our talent, we will be tough to beat in the future.” A Business major at USCB, Ruggierre has been invited to play in the Dixie Amateur Tournament in Pompano Beach, FL in early January before returning to school for the next semester to play the spring portion of the Sand Shark golf schedule. Ryan hopes his good play continues and hopes his results will earn him a spot in one of the top amateur events in the country, the Players Amateur which is played locally every July at the Belfair Country Club. Ruggiere hopes golf will always be part of his life. After graduating from USCB, Ryan wants to go to graduate school and become affiliated with a manufacturing company somewhere in the golf world.
