Lunceford retires after 33 years at GCBy ANNA MEUREROpinion Editor

One of Dr. Joe Lunceford’s favorite things to say to first-time students is, “I have one lecture. It starts on the first day of class and ends on the last.” With the announcement of his upcoming retirement at the end of this semester it appears that Dr. Lunceford is finally closing the book on his lecture.

In the last two weeks of his career, the college is reflect-ing on his full and influential life. He’s been a pastor, chap-lain of the Air Force, scholar and professor. Earning a B.A. from Mississippi College, a B.D. from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and his PhD in New Testament from Baylor University, he came to Georgetown in 1981, and after 33 years, his tenure almost puts him as the longest-stand-ing faculty member.

On campus, he is imme-diately recognizable by his collection of fedoras and his Mississippi accent. The long-time teacher of the New Testa-ment and Greek classes, he’s known for his limitless knowl-edge, even down to minute differences in the Synoptic

Gospels. Despite his full classes every semester, he’s found time throughout the years to pursue his own research, pub-lishing two books, “Biblical Women—Submissive?” (2005) and “Parody and Counter-imaging in the Apocalypse” (2009). Even once classes end, he’s never far from campus. An ardent supporter of the Georgetown sports tradition, one is as likely to see him at a basketball or football game as in his office, often in the com-pany of his wife Stacey.

A sign of Lunceford’s impact on the college com-munity is the respect he com-mands from his colleagues. Reflecting on Lunceford, Reli-gion department chair Dr. Sheila Klopfer said, “After 33 years teaching in the Religion Department at Georgetown College, I would say he has achieved legendary status. He is one of the kindest people I know, but he has a humorous side. Truly, he cares deeply about his students and about the campus community.”

Added Dr. Jeffrey Asher, “One thing that always struck me about Dr. Lunceford is his loyalty—to his students, to his colleagues, to his friends and

even to people whom he didn’t even necessarily like. Through thick and thin, he was always by your side. You can’t ask for a better friend, colleague or professor than that. This virtue says more about him than he could ever say about himself (which he wouldn’t do since he’s a very modest man).” The late Doc Birdwhistell, another beloved mainstay of George-town’s campus, said, “Joe Lunceford has been a friend and colleague for more than

thirty years. A brilliant scholar, a dedicated teacher, a constant friend to all and a passionate fan of everything Georgetown College.”

As a former Georgetown student himself, Terry Clark has had the privilege of inter-action with Lunceford as both a professor and a colleague. As a professor, Clark said Lunceford “opened the door for me to critical thinking about my own religious tra-dition, and I’ve never looked back. This approach has truly been life-changing. Joe’s been changing lives like this for

over three decades.” As a colleague, he said, “Joe is a true icon for religious studies here at Georgetown

College. One of my greatest honors as a professor here the past six years has been having an office right next to one of my most important mentors.”

Clark called him the “epit-ome of what it should mean to be a Baptist” and praised him for his dedication to religious freedom and willingness to discuss.

Recollections from former students, alumni and church members, speak similarly of a deep and lasting respect

Lunceford is a religion professor who is a strong supporter of the GC community

for a man whose impact has stretched far and wide. Favorite memories involve him attending away football games, his witnessing in the Christian faith, admiration for his work and his “scholarship and success as a professor” (Michael R., Georgetown Reli-gion Facebook group). Several described Lunceford and his wife, Stacey, as inspirations and blessings within their church and on campus. All noted his wry sense of humor and high moral values.

On Tuesday, April 15, Dr. Lunceford gave Georgetown’s “Last Chapel” address, during which he advised students to live in the moment and spoke on the often unexpected route of life. “A mark of maturity,” he said, “is to be able to enjoy the trip when God puts you on a detour.”

True to his nature of giving to Georgetown College, for his retirement dinner, he requested donations to the Ora Lunceford Memorial Endowed Scholarship, which is pre-sented each year to students at the college’s Academic Honors Day. Even though his lectures may come to an end, his legacy will continue on forever.

GSI celebrated their organization’s 3rd annual Earth Day event.

Earth Day “Restores” campus commitment to environmental justice

By ANDREA BELLEWStaff Writer

If anyone around the campus heard music blasting the evening of April 22, it most likely came from Gidding’s Lawn, where the Georgetown Sustain-ability Initiative’s (GSI) third annual Earth Day event was held. Restore: The Earth Day Concert had many things for attendees to participate in and enjoy. There was free admission for the event and anyone was permitted to attend. Students, faculty and community members alike could be found loung-ing about on the lawn as they social-ized, listened to music and talked to the different organizations and businesses that set up booths.

The concert featured two Lexing-ton based bands: Old World Heritage and Warren Byrom & Fabled Cane-lands. Some Georgetown College stu-dents also gathered into a band for the opening act: Christopher Lopez, Caitlin Knox, Jordan Moody and Flint McCal-lum. They performed popular songs like “Radioactive,” “Counting Stars,” “Royals,” “Ho Hey” and “Gone, Gone, Gone.”

GSI invited campus and off-cam-pus organizations and businesses

that are committed to sustainability, fair trade and social justice to set up booths around the lawn. Some of the campus booths set up included Social

Plug, GC Fairness, American Chemis-try Society, Biology Club and STEMM Fellows. Josh Eckman, General Man-ager for the Georgetown Dining Services, also set up a booth about local food initiatives people can get involved with. Habitat for Humanity collected donations for a Rummage Sale that they are holding. Kaitlin Osborne set up a booth to collect old athletic shoes for the Reuse-A-Shoe program through Nike, which recy-cles the shoes for future use.

The off-campus booths included: Peace Craft, Kentuckians for the Com-monwealth – Scott County chapter, Georgetown College Community Garden, Sutra Salon and Spa, Elmwood Stock Farm, Bluegrass Greensource, Promise Kids a Future/Adopt Uganda, Ky Interfaith Power & Light, Ky Solar Energy Society, Bluegrass Group Sierra Club, and Ky Student Environmental Coalition. The organizations and busi-nesses discussed what they do, how people can possibly get involved and some sold their products. It was with the donations from many of the orga-nizations and businesses in attendance that the concert was able to be held.

Children’s activities were also pro-vided, such as face painting and balloon animals. Different prizes were donated for the door prizes available for all who attended. Bluegrass Green Source donated an umbrella, Promise Kids a Future donated an African basket, The Store donated a basket, Sheila Denison donated a planter with plant and others donated prizes as well.

Sophomore Jessica Boyle said, “The event has been a great way to learn about what is going on in the commu-nity and how to help the environment, and it has just been a lot of fun.”

Lambda Chi Alpha raises funds for The Gathering PlaceThe Kappa Omega Zeta Chapter

of Lambda Chi Alpha at Georgetown College recently held their first annual Green Eggs & Lambs Silent Auction Dinner. Through this event, the 49 brothers of Lambda Chi were able to raise funds for The Gathering Place, located at 339 Bourbon Street, George-town, Ky. They provide beds for home-less men, as well as serve hot meals six days a week. They also provide many other services that help individuals and families get back on their feet and into the job force to become self-sustaining

once again. Their efforts are incredi-ble and impressive so as Lambda Chi Alpha, we feel it is our duty to help them with their mission. This was the second event this year that our Frater-nity has worked with The Gathering Place. In the fall, we raised almost 5,000 pounds of food to help fill the shelves during our annual food drive, as part of our international philanthropy partner-ship with Feeding America and North American Food Drive. This year alone, Lambda Chi chapters all over North America have raised over 1.5 million

pounds of food. We saw the difference we made

with our first event and thought, “Why couldn’t we do more?” so, the First Annual Green Eggs & Lambs Silent Auction Dinner was established. Being our first year to hold this event, we were very pleased with a showing of approx-imately 200 students, families, profes-sors, faculty and community members. Nearly 20 pounds of bacon was served

CFCI initiates discussion on GC’s conflict free futureBy AUBRI LAYSONContributing Writer and CFCI Member

One of the newest organizations on Georgetown’s campus is the Con-flict Free Campus Initiative (CFCI). Although new, CFCI has begun to make large strides to accomplish our goals. In short, our goal is to try and make a dif-ference in the conflict in the Congo.

Since 1998, the Democratic Repub-lic of the Congo (DRC) has been in a state of civil war. As of December 2013, more than 2.6 million people have been displaced, and over 5.4 million people have died, making Congo the deadli-est conflict since World War II. At first glance, this seems to have nothing to do with us. However, a large part of the reason that the conflict persists is due to our consumption of technology which fuels the war.

There are four minerals which are found in nearly all consumer elec-

tronic devices: tin, tungsten, tantalum, (or “the Three T’s”) and gold. All of these minerals are found in abundance in Congo. These minerals are in high international demand, making them a lucrative source of income for armed groups.

Mines are controlled and taxed by malicious armed groups seeking to exploit the natural resource wealth, as well as the communities where the mines are found. The minerals are then smuggled across borders and sold to international companies to be put in technology. The armed groups which control the mines use this money to buy more weapons and further maintain their dominance over the oppressed Congolese. This is why they are called conflict minerals—they fund the con-flict which has been going on in the DRC for over 25 years.

What we as an organization are trying to do is to make campus “con-

flict free.” Conflict free would entail developing a resolution in which Georgetown College promises to try to use electronics from companies that are

making an effort to be “conflict free.” Conflict free technology means that the technology is not made with minerals

BOXOUT brings attention to homelessnessBy ANDREA BELLEWStaff Writer

This week, the Scott County Hos-pitality House and Georgetown Col-lege Common Ground are hosting an immersion awareness event called BOXOUT 2014. These two organiza-tions want to bring awareness to home-lessness because, in Kentucky alone, there are currently more than 2,500 homeless and displaced individuals.

Kandice Whitehouse, Case Man-ager and Volunteer Coordinator for the Hospitality House, said about the event, “We hope that the stereotypes and false images of the homeless will be shattered. The media presents the homeless population in a negative light and we want to shed that. We hope that the night will enlighten students. For one, there is homeless in George-town. It may not be visible like you

see in the movies or even in big cities, but it is here. That is the big lesson that we want to teach. We also hope that participants will understand how hard some people work to move themselves out of their situation and are not able to. Homelessness is a problem that does not have an easy solution.”

BOXOUT will start at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 25 on Giddings Lawn. The main event of the night will be building houses and various challenges. Par-ticipants will form teams in order to complete the task. Each group will be given a scenario as soon as they check in. They will need to find resources, build a box home, take care of a family and try to make ends meet.

There will also be food, music and friendly competition. Student partic-ipants even have the opportunity to receive Nexus credit.

Dr. Greene gave students advice on moving forward with electronics initiativethat are mined from the rebel groups.

Recently the leaders of CFCI met with President Greene to discuss the recently developed resolution. Presi-dent Greene gave us extremely posi-tive feedback. He also gave us several new ideas that would allow for campus to move towards being conflict free. Although the resolution was not signed, we believe the meeting went well, and we are thankful that President Greene and Dean of Students Laura Wyly took the time to sit down with us and share their concerns.

Our future goals are to take the advice of President Greene and Dean Wyly in order to make a resolution that not only promotes our goals, but also is a resolution that the college can com-fortably agree to carry out. We believe that we are heading in the right direc-tion and are excited to see where the future takes CFCI.

over the course of the dinner! The event proved to be a success, raising nearly $3,000 for The Gathering Place and their Mission. Donna Darnell serves as the Operations Direc-tor at The Gathering Place Mis-sion and was in attendance at the dinner with several men who benefit from the services The Gathering Place provides. She thankfully responded to Tanner Brondhaver, the event organizer, about the dinner, “You all don’t know how much we appreciate you doing this. It means a lot, it will help The Gathering Place continue to do the work it does for the community, which is feeding the hungry and opening the door to the homeless. It was a great turnout, and a blessing to see what a great group of fraternity men can do for our com-munity.” The event was held on March 28th at Faith Baptist Church.

By KAITLIN FAHEYCopy Editor

Over Easter weekend, students received an email announcing that the George-town College baseball team had won their first-ever regu-lar season Mid-South Confer-ence title. The announcement came after the second game of a three-game series at home against Campbellsville Uni-versity. With a 7-6 win from Friday already under their belt, the team clinched the title with a 13-6 victory on Satur-day afternoon and then went on to win the second Satur-day game, which was also a celebration of Senior Day, and sweep the series.

and this has been our goal,” Head Coach Micah Baumfeld said of the title, adding, “It is extra special to do this on senior day and make it one more memory for so many guys who have made this tran-sition possible.” (georgetown-collegeathletics.com)

Baumfield has been lead-ing the team as head coach for three and a half years. During this time, the Tigers have won their first MSC tournament, been ranked the highest they have ever been ranked and now boast their first regular season title.

Senior Day was celebrated in between the two games on Saturday, with college Pres-ident M. Dwaine Greene, a

Friday’s game remained close all the way through, with Georgetown slightly trailing Campbellsville going into the bottom of the eighth. The GC Tigers were able to score four runs in that inning, putting them ahead of their opponents by two. Though Campbells-ville scored one run in the ninth inning, it was not enough to catch up, and Georgetown claimed the victory.

During the early afternoon on Saturday, both teams took the field again. The bottom of the fifth inning was extremely significant for Georgetown, as five runs were scored in this inning, including a grand slam from Edwin Santiago. The team played the later

former college baseball player, throwing out the ceremonial first pitch. Seven seniors were recognized including Martin Lemus, Clay Hall, Sean Meyer, Justin Moore, Javier Saenz, Edwin Santiago and Brett Smith.

To add to the Tigers’ accomplishments, junior Brian Barry was named MSC Pitcher of the Week for the week of April 14.

The Tigers will finish out regular season play against the University of Pikeville with a three-game away series this weekend. The Mid-South Con-ference tournament play will begin on May 1, with oppo-nents and playing times to be announced.

Guys, intramurals aren’t everythingBy ERIC BALMERSports Editor

“It’s just a game.” This saying is a quite familiar one, but also one that may fall on deaf ears for those who partic-ipate in Georgetown College Intramurals. Although play-ing sports with your fellow colleagues can be enjoyable, it can be frustrating when people try to relive their high school sporting days through the sup-posedly “just-for-fun” compe-tition of intramurals.

Don’t get me wrong, I love chucking dodgeballs at people as much as the next guy, but I’m not going to celebrate like my team had just won the

Suber Bowl every time we win a game. Celebrating is not a bad practice. I will show my happiness if I win simple games like Monopoly. Even though this is the case, the level of celebration from winning a game of Scrabble is not going to be anywhere close to how much I would celebrate after winning the World Series (not that I would be in the position to do so).

I don’t know what the appeal is of trying so hard to win recreational sports that you would disrespect your opponent.

Sportsmanship should always be an unspoken and

At the end of the day, no matter how cheesy it may sound, we’re all part of the same college. We should be more friendly, less closed-off and more of a community, especially when it comes to competition.

Through all of our obvious differences, if we search hard enough, surely we can find what unifies us (and maybe we’ll actually live up to the label of Tiger Nation).

an unspoken rule on George-town’s campus.

Now I know that it sounds like I’m just pointing fingers at other people, but I will admit there have been times where I have let my emotions get the best of me. I haven’t always been respectful of the other team. I think there is a differ-ence, though, in getting a little heated on the field but shaking hands at the end of the game, and storming off the field after the game, not even acknowl-edging the opposing team.

I believe if everyone has a little humility, some honesty and just the right mindset, intramurals would be enjoy-able for everyone involved.

after the end of regulation. But sometimes this seems to not be

heard of this (cont.)on the defensive side of the puck. Teams will generally play zone defense, with for-ward offensive players and back defensive players. The different positions are the center who tries to get initial possession and is an offensive player, wings who are on the outside and play both offense and defense, halfbacks who stop the other team and give the ball to the wings and the swingback who backs up the halfback.

Sports like underwater hockey may sound too good to be true (if you can’t get enough of swimming and diving), but if you’re looking for a new way to have fun this summer, this sport may be calling your name.

Henry Clay is without a doubt a famous figure in Ken-tucky history. Even though he ran for president three times and lost, he is still well-known for his work and contributions to the US government. How-ever, there is a lot of informa-tion that people still wish to know about Clay. Prof. George McGee offers to present this information by appearing as the politician and performing his life story as part of a group under the Kentucky Human-ities Council. When he’s not doing that, you can find him teaching or directing a play in the Ruth Pearce Wilson Lab Theatre.

Prof. McGee didn’t know he would have a career in theatre at first. He revealed that he went to Illinois Wes-leyan University in the 1960’s simply because he wanted to avoid the draft, but his plan backfired when, due to being dropped from a class, he was drafted anyway.

While in Vietnam, he thought long and hard about what he wanted to do with his life and, through the inspira-tion of one of his former pro-fessors, he decided to become a teacher. After receiving his Master of Fine Arts at Florida Atlantic University, McGee founded the Palm Beach Chil-dren’s Theater along with his wife Cathy and their IWU friends.

Twelve years later in 1984, he heard that a position in Georgetown was open and was asked to visit. Right when he

arrived, he was drawn to how the campus was a lot like IWU. He says he took the teaching position because “Illinois Wes-leyan is known for being one of the Top 25 theatre schools in the state. I wanted to make Georgetown just like my Alma mater: a Top 25 school.”

R e a l i z i n g his goal has not been an easy task, mostly due to the small stat-ure of the lab theatre. The lab theatre was introduced as the temporary building when McGee first started working at Georgetown, and he had hopes that a new building would recruit more stu-dents into the theatre department.

When he heard that the new football stadium was being built on East Campus in the 1990s, he knew that a new theatre building wouldn’t arrive anytime soon. But the small space hasn’t stopped him; he has directed more than 100 productions on campus. Some of his favorite shows he’s directed include “Arcadia,” “Death of a Sales-man” and “A Fence for Martin Maher,” which was commis-sioned by the Scott County Museum.

He wrote “A Fence for Martin Maher” with Irish playwright John McArdle, and it tells the story of a young American boy helping his Irish uncle rebuild a stone fence.

McGee also said that one of the highlights of his job is working with his former student and fellow director Dr. Ed Smith because they are always there

for each other. McGee first started work-

ing with the KHC’s Kentucky Chautauqua, a group of actors who perform historically accurate accounts of famous Kentuckians who made a dif-ference, in 1992. He first per-formed as Elijah Craig until he was approached by Brack Mar-quette, a Georgetown graduate and member of the Henry Clay estate.

Brack said McGee looked like Clay, and asked if he would, as McGee recalls, “stand in front of the Henry Clay house dressed like him

and scare everyone.” McGee agreed, even though he was a little taken aback because most books describe Clay as having a “homely” appearance. He

took a sabbatical to do research and write a one hour play about him. He has per-formed as Clay ever since.

Since 1995, McGee has done over 500 performances with the KHC as Clay. For each performance, he tells the chronologi-cal story of Clay’s life and focuses mainly on specific stories. He also uses audience participation by invit-ing people onstage to reenact political duels with him.

He joked that sometimes people have mistaken him as Abraham Lincoln in costume and he cor-rects them by saying, “No, he’s taller and

uglier.” McGee has travelled to schools all over Kentucky as well as Illinois, Ohio, Penn-sylvania, Tennessee, West Vir-ginia and Washington D.C. to share Clay’s story.

He has even performed for members of the Clay family at their reunions, and they all love McGee’s portrayal of Clay. McGee has also been to events in Washington D.C. dressed as Henry Clay where he interacts with people either as Clay or as himself. He said, “It is always different. If some-one says, ‘How’s the family?’ I am stumped. If they say, ‘Sen-

Professor McGee has done over 500 perfor-mances as Henry Clay.

ator, why can’t you get along with Andrew Jackson?’ I will bend their ear for twenty min-utes.” Sometimes he will lead a group in singing “My Old Kentucky Home” at these par-ties as well, but he jokes that he tries to find someone to sing it with him because he never remembers the words.

There are many things that McGee likes about Henry Clay. One thing he likes is that unlike most politicians, Clay could separate his stand on political issues and his opin-ions of the people giving them instead of having a bias against them. But what he likes most about becoming Clay is his personality because Clay was well-known for being outgo-ing and charming to everyone he met.

McGee, however, feels that his own personality is nothing like Clay’s. When he explained the parties in Washington D.C, he said, “Henry Clay made it a goal to greet everyone in the room. George McGee stands near the door.” Nevertheless, he takes what he experiences through the Clay performances to overcome his shyness when he’s not in character.

McGee’s performances have inspired other people to join the KHC as well. Dr. Smith saw how much fun McGee was having and joined the group, performing as Adolf Rupp and Justice John Marshall Harlan. His wife Betsy and their two kids, Ethan and Harry, are members as well and portray a variety of different people: Betsy plays Emilie Todd Helm,

Dr. Dummer finds joy in teaching Jazzercise By ALEX COURTENAYStaff Writer

What do you think of when you hear the word Jazzercise? Neon leggings? Off-shoulder sweatshirts? Giant headbands? Leotards? Well, get your mind out of the ‘80s! It is 2014, and if you go to a Jazzercise class today dressed liked that, you would look ridiculous, unless that class were an ‘80s themed class. If that were the case, you would look totally awesome. Dr. Susan Dummer, Jazzercise instructor and com-munication professor, used to have that same ‘80s stereo-type of Jazzercise. Jazzercise is actually very modern and their philosophy is, “We believe fitness is an important aspect of well-being and enhances the overall quality of people’s lives; therefore, Jazzercise is committed to helping people understand and value the importance of health and fit-ness.” (jazzercise.com/com-panyinfo). Dummer describes it as “a dance–based aerobic workout that uses current music to get people of all ages moving.”

Initially, when Dummer learned her friends were actu-ally Jazzercising, she was quite surprised. In 2009, how-ever, Dummer’s stepfather Frank passed away. She had a difficult time grieving and realized she was not living a healthy lifestyle. An invitation from a friend to try Jazzercise changed things for Dummer.

After the first class, Dummer found Jazzercise to be difficult and had thoughts of quitting. However, not only did Dummer invest her

money, but she also invested in her health. Grieving for Frank took a toll on her, and Jazzercise helped relieve her depression.

Not long after her first few classes, Dummer’s instructor noticed that she picked up Jazzercise quickly and sug-gested she become certified to teach Jazzercise. As a young-ster, Dummer took ballet and those skills served her well in Jazzercise. Years prior, Frank had told Dummer that he imagined her teaching ballet one day.

In September 2011, Dummer became a fully cer-tified Jazzercise instructor.

Jazzercise proved to be a teach-ing opportunity for Dummer. Moreover, with Jazzercise authorized songs, weights and high-energy workouts, Dummer found that she could create her own class schedule. Early in the morning at 8 a.m., before teaching on George-town’s campus, Dummer is a Jazzercise instructor.

Dummer had some chal-lenges and anxiety when she started teaching Jazzercise. With her people-pleasing per-sonality, Dummer feared that

if they did not like her they would not attend her classes. In her communication classes, the students have to be there. Even if they fake being inter-ested, they cannot leave. With Jazzercise, they can just go to another class. Dummer knows that the time of the classes is also a factor, but she cannot help but think that it is a com-petition for how many people come to her class versus others. For Dummer, Jazzercise and communication classes are similar in that both are per-formances; she feels she has to keep everyone in the classes engaged at all times.

Dummer regularly teaches gender and relationship com-munication at Georgetown. She found that the current view on women’s body images has impacted her life as well as others. Jazzercise has helped through her own struggle with her body image, and she has seen it help those who take her classes. Dummer says that Jazzercise makes her feel better about herself. Now, wear-ing tank tops and leggings, Dummer finds that she is con-fident about her body.

Jazzercise has really

changed Dummer’s life. Not only does she have “more energy and new found confi-dence,” she is also more patient with her kids, saying, “Practic-ing Jazzercise is not my only job. I am a full time commu-nication professor at George-town College, as well as a mother. I clean, cook and prac-tice new [Jazzercise] routines.” Over time, Dummer’s Jazzer-cise coworkers have become a great support system, helping each other through such trials as breast cancer diagnosis and the loss of family members.

Having discovered Jazzer-cise, Dummer can say that it has changed her life for the better. It has helped her with family, health, communica-tion classes and life in gen-eral. Moreover, she also lost 38 pounds due to Jazzercise. Finally, Frank’s vision has come full-circle. While it is not ballet, Jazzercise is still some-thing Frank knew Dummer would be good at teaching. Not only is Dummer a great communication professor and Jazzercise instructor, she is also a great person in general and a natural people pleaser.

Harry plays William Great-house and Ethan plays Johnny Green and Price Hollowell. McGee enjoys performing in shows with the Smith family and jokes that “[Dr. Smith] won’t be happy until he gets the family dog a character.”

Fun as they are, the Henry

Clay performances are very time-consuming. On the day of a performance, McGee said it is not uncommon for him to wake up at dawn, get into costume and drive to a grade school to perform at 8 a.m. before imme-diately coming back to campus to teach his classes.

If rehearsals for the semes-ter play are going on as well, McGee doesn’t get home until late at night. He has even per-formed six Clay shows in one day. Over spring break this semester, McGee did about nine or ten performances.

Prof. McGee highly recom-

mends being a part of the KHC because it’s an entertaining educational experience and “the chance to make a person come alive,” just as he has done in bringing Henry Clay to life. The KHC has recently given him the task of adding another character to their list:

someone involved with the bourbon industry. McGee is still doing research for that particular character, but he does not plan on retiring Clay anytime soon after all that he has gained and experienced from portraying him.

Page 8 The GeorgetonianArts Entertainment“Grand Budapest Hotel” checks in

By SHAY McCLEAVYStaff Writer

4 out of 4 starsImagine a screwball comedy, a noir

thriller, a murder mystery and a period piece. Now roll them all together into a decadent masterpiece. That’s what you get with Wes Anderson’s “The Grand Budapest Hotel.”

It is the story of Gustave H (Ralph Fiennes, impeccable in the role), the concierge of The Grand Budapest Hotel located in the fictional Republic of Zubrowka during the 1930’s. After being suspected of murder, Gustave H runs away with the help of his new lobby boy, Zero Moustafa (Tony Revol-ori, nicely earnest). They must avoid the thuggish sons of the deceased, deal with the police and hide a valuable

painting, “Boy With Apple.” Helping along is an A-list class including: Jude Law, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Edward Norton, Saoirse Ronan, and a collection of surprising cameos.

Director Wes Anderson (“Fantas-tic Mr. Fox,” “Moonrise Kingdom”) is known for his unique stories, symmet-rical imagery and visual flair. His use of color palettes and patterns make him a whimsical stylist and somewhat of an acquired taste. For anyone looking to find a unique and unpredictable film amidst the tide of summer blockbust-ers, look no further.

The look and textures of this film are like an old grandfather clock made of pastries. Pinks, blues, reds and yel-lows give it the look of an old silent film artificially colored. The bold colors lie

in sync with equally bold performances and characters. It is as though Ander-son used the spirits of silent film stars, film noir and European stuffiness, threw them in a blender, and made a rich dessert. At the center of the dessert is Ralph Fiennes giving one of the most delightful performances of his career. As the concierge of the hotel who wishes to serve, “a glimmer of civiliza-tion in the barbaric slaughterhouse we know as humanity,” Fiennes plays the charismatic man with rich gusto. He shows us the soul beneath the exterior of the prideful and sincere Gustave H.

Many whimsical films can leave you visually impressed and surprised with the creativity on display. “The Grand Budapest Hotel” does this, but slips through its meticulously con-

structed world to emotionally engage you. Throughout the silliness there is real weight to the experiences within the madcap tale of a hotel concierge and his lobby boy. The only notice-able problem with the film is that the opening is paced rather slowly. Stick with it, and you will be rewarded with an incredibly unique experience at the theatres.

The ambition and unique vision on display are well worth a look. I can guarantee you won’t find a film like “The Grand Budapest Hotel.” Wes Anderson has created an adventure that dazzles the eyes, tickles the funny bone and touches the heart.

Band fulfills “fantasies and dreams” By ANDREA BELLEWStaff Writer

On Thursday, April 24 at 8 p.m., the Tiger Symphonic Band will present its annual spring concert, “Fantasy and Dreams” at the Chapel.

The “Fantasy and Dreams” concert will celebrate the 169th year of bands at Georgetown College. The Band Schol-ars of today will be celebrated “for embodying excellence and living up to the Band’s historic epigraph – Music for All Occasions,“ according to the press release.

“It will be a privilege and a plea-sure to showcase the Band Scholars on the ‘Fantasy and Dreams’ concert,” Dr. LaRue says.

A special highlight of the evening will be student soloist Nathan Vertuca on the alto saxophone. He will play his solo during the band’s performance of “Over the Rainbow.”

Vertuca had this to say about the soloist opportunity:

“The first semester of this year I was studying abroad, so unfortunately I wasn’t able to play with the band. I was, however, honored to be chosen as the featured soloist for this year’s spring concert. A solo is always excit-ing, and I have played one other solo as a member of the Georgetown Col-lege band, as well as several others as a member of the Woodford County High School band,” says Vertuca.

“It’s always very exciting to be selected for something like this, and I’m happy to do my part. However, as cliché as it may sound, the credit really goes to the band. Anybody can go up there and play a horn, but it sounds pretty odd without the support of the other members.”

This will be the last concert these five seniors will perform for George-town College: Crystal Jackson, Nathan

Vertuca, Travis Mazurek, Katie Mor-ris,and Michelle Larberg. So in addition to the acknowledgements, the event will hold up to tradition and the Elder Band Scholars (senior band students) will be saluted. They are honored with the band’s performance of The Old Scottish Melody [arranged by Charles Wiley] and a special video presentation.

Taylor Burchett, sopho-more band member, says, “The seniors all add a valuable con-tribution to the band and I will be sad to see them go, but I wish them the best of luck.”

The band will perform eight different pieces, including the Star Spangled Banner and the Alma Mater, which they have been practicing all semester long. Concert goers can also expect to hear works by Arlen, Maslanka, Mussorgsky, Smith

and Whitacre.Dr. LaRue said: “Thanks to every-

one and all for your continuing sup-port of the Band Scholars and Bands at Georgetown College.”

Issue 11 Arts Entertainment April 24, 2014 Page 9Games strive toward emotion

By AUSTIN CONWAYContributing Writer

When the Playstation 4 was revealed early last year, Quantic Dream’s David Cage took to the stage and spoke briefly about emotion. For Cage, the PS4’s advancements in hardware offered the opportunity to create more realis-tic characters that would display var-ious different emotions with subtlety; he compared this jump in technology to the evolution in films that allowed for less exaggerated performances that were typical of films in the early days. Cage referred to an emotional connec-tion between entertainment and audi-ence as the “Holy Grail,” something most storytellers in the industry would probably agree on. Perhaps the point of contention for most however isn’t over the desire to elicit emotion, but instead the means of execution in doing so.

The desire and drive to develop attachment and empathy between the user and the experience is not a recent goal nor is it a medium specific crusade. Where books and movies have been making us cheer and weep since their conception, the interactive medium has unfortunately struggled in this aspect. Achieving the “high score” and maintaining a good “killstreak” have

taken precedence over caring about the heroes’ journey. What has changed recently is the notion that many game developers have aspired to become sto-rytellers, drastically changing not only the resulting experience, but also the medium as a whole.

Various maverick developers have approached the subject of emotion in games differently, often resulting in diverse executions and interpretations. Cage believes more advanced hardware will be key in regards to developing more believable and realistic deliver-ies from actors. It would seem for Cage that emotion is derived from a level of realism, relying heavily on the idea that a great emotional a t t a c h m e n t /i n v e s t m e n t is linked to a convincing (and perhaps subtle) perfor-mance. Cage is no stranger to placing impor-tance on acting in his games.His most recent release, “Beyond,” fea-

tured both the likenesses and performances of Willem Dafoe and Ellen Page. A specific kind of motion-capture technique often reserved for big budget Hollywood films was used to capture and display the actor’s emotions during scenes, game-play, etc.

Not all developers seek to establish emotion by trying to replicate reality, however. Developers such as Naughty Dog often place more emphasis on a game having an emotional script than it does an emotional

performance from its actors. While Naughty Dog certainly uses actors for characters, it is important to note that said characters are brought to life with hand animated expres-sions, a stark contrast to Cage’s method of trying to scan every aspect of an actor’s likeness and delivery. Naughty Dog often resorts to developing a strong script which roots itself in complex themes and imag-ery; the result is a narrative that can be interpreted differently.

The

e m o t i o n towards a character is not found in the realism of his/her per-f o r m a n c e , but instead that charac-ter’s interac-tions with the world and cast. Titles like “ U n c h a r t e d ” and “The Last

of Us” do not strive for aesthetic real-ism; the emotion is not found in how realistically a character cries but instead is found in conversational exchanges between characters or specific game-play sequences themselves.

Also unique is the idea that some developers feel that emotion bypasses a realistic performance or a well writ-ten script, offering instead an experi-ence that is slightly more universal. Recently, indie developers have turned to unorthodox means of storytelling when it comes to stories that are per-ceived to be emotional. Both “Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons” and “Journey” bypassed actor-driven performances or

powerful dialogue to establish a sense of empathy with the player. “Brothers” told the tale of two siblings on a quest to save their father; no discernable lan-guage is used, and the game itself is fairly stylized in appearance. “Journey” utilized a grand musical score (and no dialogue) to connect with the player and tell its story in a Fantasia-esque way. Both releases relied heavily on their visuals to convey plot, narrative and character while at the same time tackling deeper themes.

Perhaps the takeaway is that there is no one way to develop an emotional connection between the experience and the one who experiences. As technol-ogy continues to evolve, things con-tinue to look more “realistic,” yet there is no sure guarantee that something that looks real can automatically elicit real emotions from its audience. It is also worth noting that subjectivity and emotional response are linked: after all, there is no universal trigger that makes everyone respond in the same way. As Disney and Pixar have no doubt proved over the years, an audience member does not need “the real” to react.

Perhaps sooner, rather than later, a videogame might move you to tears…

I don’t have to defend my degree to you

By ANNA MEUREROpinion Editor

As college students, we get asked about our majors a lot— have you noticed? That I understand and don’t mind. What I DO mind, however, is the almost inevitable judge-ment that follows. In fact, when people ask me what my major is (history and religion), I feel compelled to add a justi-fication afterwards to preemp-tively ward off the skepticism.

However, I’ve stopped. Why? Because I realized that I’m proud of my majors. I chose them for rational reasons, and I don’t need an immediate and direct professional connection to make it valuable.

The root of the problem, I believe, is that we’ve been con-ditioned to judge our majors relative to each other instead of according to their contri-bution to the wider academic community.

Just think for a minute—how many times have you heard one major say some-thing condescending about another discipline or major? If we believed the stereotypes, art majors would be awarded by coloring in the lines, bio majors by proving things someone else has already proven, chemistry majors by blowing things up, philoso-phy majors by talking in cir-cles, psychology majors by asking people how they feel, sociology majors by getting offended, history majors by memorizing dead facts about

dead people, religion majors by praying, kinesiology majors by watching sports and com-munication majors by talking to each other.

I missed a few majors, I know. But isn’t it ridiculous? If that were all there were to any of these studies, they wouldn’t be. Can you really make the argument that one major is useless?

There is a misunderstand-ing about what constitutes usefulness. Some majors are more useful for establishing specific skill sets with a direct application—the hard sci-ences, economics, accounting and kinesiology come to mind. Others are useful for estab-lishing an understanding of a future framework of opera-tion—political science, religion and sociology come to mind here. And some are useful for establishing fundamental skills—philosophy, English, history, I’m looking at you.

Of course there are a few exceptions: we all know the person who skimmed through

without much effort. But I am firmly convinced that each discipline has its challenges, and the top in each discipline will find those challenges and work on them.

One of my favorite sayings of all time is “Science can tell you how to clone a T-Rex. The humanities can tell you why this might be a bad idea.” I could expand that to include every other major: communi-cation could help you convince the scientists why it might be a bad idea, accounting and economics could tell you how much it would cost to clone a dinosaur...on and on and on.

Long story short, the idea of a superior major is a myth. It does not exist. The disciplines are not contradictory; they are complementary and interde-pendent. They enhance each other.

As a graduating senior, my challenge to each of you is to stop competing and start collaborating. Those who refuse to open their minds are doomed to be trapped by them.

writers, photographers, copy edi-tors and page editors for the fall

semester. If interested, e-mail Hannah Krieger at hkriege0@georgetowncollege.edu for an

Graduate education is the way to grow

By FIONA MCELRATHStaff Writer

Time: approximately 12-2. Place: Pawling Hall. Victim: A wall adapter.

Not too long ago, a student of the English department had the adapter for his or her phone charger stolen. This unknown thief did not even take the entire phone charger—just the adapter.

However, while this may be quite infuriating and

mob-inspiring, and although thoughts of witty phrases to write on signs and on Tumblr might be going through your head as you read this, take a moment to think about the real frustrating issue here. Have you guessed it?

If you guessed “Honor Code,” five extra points. For those of you who don’t remember signing that huge piece of paper during orienta-tion, allow me to remind you; the honor code means, essen-tially, to be honest—no plagia-

rizing, no stealing of any kind and generally acting like an adult. I’m sure we can all agree that stealing a phone adapter is not honest adult behavior.

Why do people steal? Is it fulfillment? Greed? Lack of possession? In any case, it is dishonest, and when we have agreed to honesty, what does that make us? How can we hope to go into the world, to be trusted with a job, when we cannot even be trusted to keep to a college honesty code?

There are two major ways

of going about life in regards to other people, as I under-stand it; there is the idea of treating others as you want them to treat you, however that may be, which I assume would mean not stealing or plagiarizing or what have you.

Then there is the view of only fending for oneself, which would mean taking every available step up that you can find, whatever that may be. While people rarely fully conform to one or the other of these, there they are.

Georgetown College, I think, has the former view of things. The honor code is meant to bring out the best of people, and show them that working hard brings results that are better, or at least more fulfilling, than stealing in any form.

Remember what you’ve promised to do and not to do. We are adults, and if all we get out of an education is a phone charger adapter, someone’s priorities should be reconsid-ered.

Over the past year, George-town has had financial strug-gles. This is due to a lot of things, one of them being low enrollment. Georgetown is a great school to attend, but we have to make people outside of our community believe it.

We have to offer programs that cater to the needs of the prospective students. Stop right there! I know you’re thinking high school seniors, right? No. I’m thinking of graduate students.

Georgetown’s graduate program has been a huge hit. In the December commence-ment ceremony a majority of the students were from the graduate program. In fact, the graduate program has almost half as many students as the undergraduate program. Offering a Master’s in Edu-cation has brought a decent amount of students to our

campus. Just imagine if we offered a Master’s degree in other areas. That would bring a larger amount of students and funds to our school.

I have a few ideas on what types of degrees we could offer to attract even more bright and intelligent graduate students. Because the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) field is blossoming by the minute, it would be wise to offer something along those lines.

My opinion would be to choose engineering. Engineer-ing can be used in so many dif-ferent ways and for so many different careers. Engineering, like other sciences, challenges the mind to think beyond the norm and to help create innovations that will help our world run a little bit better. Georgetown would attract a lot of people if they decided to offer this degree.

Another would be nurs-ing. So many students go to

University of Kentucky for their nursing program. If we offered it here, we would have a lot of our undergraduates who would consider staying on campus longer to continue their education.

Another pro to expand-ing our graduate program is that we would create more of a “university-like” atmo-sphere. Most students like Georgetown for its small, close knit, family-like feel. I believe combining that great attribute along with more opportunities for higher education would

help Georgetown gain more students and status.

We may attract more sea-soned students through this expansion process, so we should cater to the specific needs they may have. By sea-soned, I mean those adults who put their education to the side while they started families and careers. Now, they want to go back to school to further their education. Offering more night classes through the grad-uate program would show the community and prospective students that we care about the families they have built and the time it takes to raise one.

We have a lot of parents going back to school after their kids are at a certain age. I know this from experience. My mother went back to school when I was in the first grade to get her Master’s in Public Administration.

Back then I didn’t know why she did it, but now I real-

ize she did it to give me a better future. If we as a Georgetown community can show that we care about the families of our students, they will feel much better about taking a break from their daily lives to con-tinue their education with us.

I’m sure most of you know that getting a Master’s degree in anything can add some sort of boost to your resume. Our professors, parents and men-tors tell us this everyday.

Because this statement is so true, Georgetown as a commu-nity should practice what we preach. Bringing a variety of graduate programs to the front door of students would make them want to stay at George-town. We would be expanding our community with current students as well as bringing funds to the institution. With the help of a larger graduate program Georgetown would become a much more educa-tionally diverse place.

It is important to butter bread only after taking it out of the toaster.

I’d like to propose a toastBy LEANNDRA W. PADGETTBackpage Editor / Butter Side Downer

As we approach the end of the semester, a word on toast is

in order. Various emotions are present on campus. Some folks are anxiously anticipating the freedom of summer while others dread their less-than-ideal summer jobs. Freshmen may worry about maintaining their newly formed friendships, and upperclassmen may ponder what inevitable social changes the next fall will bring. As for seniors, we are looking ahead to who knows

usage. I kid you not – some people but-tered their bread before putting it in the toaster. That is not the way, my friends.

While I would have hoped that this would be a lesson of early childhood, since it slipped by some, I will now give basic toasting lessons so that all of campus can continue eating toast in peace and safety.

To make toast, follow these steps in order:

1. Choose preferred bread prod-uct and place one slice (or in the case of a thicker product such as a bagel or English muffin, one half piece) in each slot in the toaster.

2. Set device to desired setting (less to more done) and press down lever.

3. Wait until it finishes (the bread will pop up) and remove from toaster (taking care of the heat).

4. Add topping of your choice.Note: Do not add toppings before

placing bread in the toaster. Also, do not stick silverware into the toaster as you can electrocute yourself.

Unlike the Yooks and Zooks of Dr. Seuss’s “The Butter Battle Book,” I don’t care if you eat your bread butter side up or butter side down (though I suggest butter side down, as it allows for a stronger taste directly on your

what, who knows where.No matter the class standing or

social group, one thing that unites students on campus is the toaster in the Caf. Morning, noon and night the cereal and bagel station is always occu-pied by students (strangely, while pro-fessors and staff often eat in the Caf, they seldom take advantage of this area that is such a staple for students).

The toaster leads to countless opportunities of nutritive enhance-ment: toasted bagels, toasted English muffins, toasted white bread, toasted wheat bread and toasted gluten free bread (if you ask the Caf workers nicely). Then think of the possible spreads (butter, apple butter, peanut butter, jelly, jam, cream cheese)! Dining services offer several local products at this station with Kentucky proud apple butter, jams and jellies, making these choices socially responsible as well as delicious.

However, while students have the freedom to express their tastes and preferences while they partake in their favorite creations at the toaster, certain basic guidelines should be followed. It has been reported (I am not exagger-ating here) that the toaster has been broken this year because of improper

tongue). What I do care about is that you eat it buttered-after-toasted rather than buttered-before-toasted. It may not be a matter of Dr. Seuss’s Cold War significance, but it is one of toaster maintenance and availability.

So, as the semester nears its end, students, relish a few more pieces of toast before summer or graduation. Professors and staff — check out the often overlooked toaster. You won’t regret participating in this station of unity and creativity.
