Eagles return wont halt construction

Athletes read at local schools

Despite the return of the eagles to campus, U.S. Fishand Wildlife has approved the building permit for the Val-halla football stadium.

After the initial sighting of the eagles in March of 2012,Berry was forced to reconsider their initial constructionplans. Danny Price, Berry legal counsel, has been a part ofthe intricate permit process each step of the way.

Upon making the decision to apply for the permit wehave worked proactively with the United States Depart-ment of Fish and Wildlife to ensure the highest level ofcompliance with the law as well as sensitivity to the envi-ronment and habitat of the eagles, Price said.

After the arrival of the eagles, Berry considered otherlocations for the stadium but came to the conclusion thatthe original spot was still the most convenient and practi-cal because it is easily accessible to fans.

For the benet of students, the campus communityand off-campus visitors to the stadium it needed to be in alocation close to dorms and other important campus infra-structure, Price said.

However, even though it was the most practical loca-tion, many adjustments had to be made to the originalplan to ensure minimal disruption of the eagles habitat.

At U.S. Fish and Wildlifes request, Berry redesignedthe facility to move one building with storage and rest-

rooms from the north end of the stadium into the mainstructure and is designing the lighting to shield as much

glare away from the nest as possible, said Price. As thepermit species, additional native trees will be planted onall sides of the eagle nest except the northern side towardsthe main entry road.

Beyond these required adjustments, Berry also volun-tarily moved the stadium about 50 feet farther south fromthe nesting site and decreased the planned seating from1500 to 1200 people.

The permit concedes that the noise and constructionactivity may potentially disturb the eagles, but Berry is

already taking precautions to ensure that it will not affectthe eagles breeding season.In late September we instituted a regular nest moni-

toring program which will continue throughout any con-struction activity, and issues of noise and trafc will beminimized as required when activity is observed, saidPrice.

Although the permit has been approved and Berry re-ceived a $2.5 million gift from Steve Cage, Indianapolisentrepreneur and benefactor of the Cage Center, construc-tion will not begin until more funds are raised.

Construction is not scheduled to start until funds havebeen raised and are available, Price said. There is nospecic projection about when that will be.

Tony Kunczewski, head football coach, is excited aboutthe forward movement with plans and grateful for thealumni support.

We are overwhelmed by the support of our boardmembers and administration, Kuncsewski said. Thenancial gifts were tremendous and show the love ouralumni have toward this institution.

Berry athletes are teamingup with Kappa Delta Pi and lo-cal elementary students to showkids they need to read in order toachieve.

Stephanie Dunn, head wom-ens basketball coach and pro-motions coordinator, teamed up

with Kappa Delta Pi to launch areading program called SuccessCreativity Opportunity Rein-forcement Excel (SCORE) that isdesigned to inspire reading andcomprehension for local kids inpre-K through fth grade. Theprogram sends Berry athletesto local schools to read a book,chosen by the schools principal,aloud to the children.

The school lls out a form andthey tell me what age group, whatdate and which book from theirwish list they want us to read,Dunn said.

The wish list is sponsoredby Kappa Delta Pi as part of the

honor societys Literacy Aliveinitiative focused on improvingliteracy skills in participants of

all ages within the local commu-nity. Kappa Delta Pis sponsorshipthat purchases the books from thewish list enables the children toenjoy the story again and again.

Mary Outlaw, director of eld

experiences and student teachingand chapter counselor of KappaDelta Pi, believes that the SCORE

ts the Literacy Alive Initiativeand allows its members to give

back to the community.Members of our chapter

accompany the athletes to theclassrooms and share with the

elementary students about theimportance of reading. Outlawsaid.

Obama re-elected;students react

President Barack Obama wasre-elected Tuesday night to serveanother term in the White House.

In a close race for the presiden-cy, Obama won 303 electoral voteswith 270 needed to be elected.Former Governor of Massachu-setts Mitt Romney won 206 withone stateFloridastill undecided.Obama also won 50 percent ofthe popular vote to Romneys 48percent.

Reactions on campus vary, andsome students are content to ac-cept the outcome regardless oftheir own political afliation. Ju-nior Amber Slyter said that moan-ing about the results would notchange anything.

I voted Republican but Imnot condemning people whodidnt, Slyter said. Honestly,Romney had this plan to change

the economy over the next eightto 10 years, but he was criticiz-ing Obama for not being able to

change it in four.Junior Garrett Cook said that

as a Libertarian, she would nothave been excited about eithercandidate winning.

Im not a fan of the outcome,but what can you do? Cooksaid. We werent getting any-

thing done before the election, soI dont think anything is going tochange, but we can always hope.

Berry held a mock election onthe week of Oct. 22, and Rom-ney won all 63 available electoralvotes as well as 57 percent of thepopular vote. Cook attributedRomneys victory to the fact thatBerry students are overall moreconservative than the nation atlarge.

Coordinator for Berry StudentEnterprises and Student WorkTraining Robin Holt said Ameri-cans main concern right nowshould be for the economy and,more specically, unemployment.

Job creation is going to becrictical to solving some of thesocial issues that we have, Holtsaid.

The Honor Code ExplorationCommittee held a discussion inthe Spruill Ballroom last Monday,Oct. 29 to further advance talks

about an Honor Code at BerryCollege.This meeting allowed the com-

mittee to formally hear faculty,staff and student opinions as wellas information from Sewanee: TheUniversity of the South, whichalready has an Honor Code.

Guests from Sewanee includedRobert Threlkeld, president ofthe Sewanee Honor Committee,and Larry Jones, dean of studentaffairs and professor of biology.

Its encouraging to knowthat other colleges are lookingto develop an Honor Code,said Threlkeld. He added that

Sewanee practiced a traditionalHonor Code that controlledevery aspect of campus life,whether it be academic or non-academic. This means professorscan give non-proctored exams,and students can even leave their

possessions in public places. Anyviolation of the Honor Code couldmean suspension from the schoolor even expulsion.

Threlkeld said adherence to anHonor Code has unied Sewanee.

It provides us with a strongsense of community, and the pro-cess itself is practiced entirely

by the students, Threlkeld said.Its not uncommon for studentsto report fellow students for sus-pected violations.

Jones said an Honor Codeis about the value of virtue in acommunity.

As time goes on, what people

think is right or wrong seems tochange, and it is hard for a com-munity to agree that some thingsare codied, Jones said. But ourcode isnt just about tradition; it isabout what is happening on theoutside. Its not about law, but

about what you want to value inyour community.Associate Professor of His-

tory Christy Snider and Asso-ciate Professor of Governmentand International Studies EricSands agreed to present opposingviewpoints.

Snider was not in favor ofincorporating an Honor Code atBerry.

Honor Codes work wellwhere there is a culture of anHonor Code, Snider said. If youcannot change the culture then itis harder to work. We just have toask ourselves: are we willing to

change our culture here at Berry?Adding an Honor Code does notcreate a utopia of trust. BrandingBerry with an Honor Code willnot make it a better liberal artsinstitution, but smaller, internalsteps will.

Sands said an Honor Codewould only strengthen thealready-present ethics at Berry.

There is an integrity culturehere at Berry, and so much ofBerry seems like there already isan Honor Code in place, Sandssaid. Incorporating an HonorCode will only add on to ourintegrity culture. It includes stu-dents taking responsibility forthemselves, and asking them-selves what kind of college theywant to be.

The Honor Code ExplorationCommittee is still looking into theeffects of an Honor Code at Berry.

Prior to athletes visiting theelementary schools, they eachattend a short meeting withDunn and Nancy Edwards,associate professor of the CharterSchool of Education and HumanSciences, to learn how to read tochildren.

She has been most gra-cious in meeting with the ath-letic teams to provide tips andinstruction about successfullyreading picture books to elemen-tary students, Outlaw said.The athletes that have partici-pated at this time have done anoutstanding job of reading andconnecting with the elementarystudents.

Dunn believes the readingprogram channels childrenssports enthusiasm in a way thatencourages classroom success.

The students get to acquaintcollege and athletics and gettingto reach that goal through aca-demics, Dunn said. They getto bring all the pieces togetherwhen they see successful studentathletes thriving in their sportand academics.

Jillian McDonnell, freshmen

member of the womens soccer

team, participated in the rstreading day and thinks it was amutually rewarding experience.

I think it is more importantthat athletes get more involvedin the community, especiallywith children, McDonnell said.All children love athletics and Ithink that its good to have a rolemodel for them that can relate inthat way.

However, while the programmay be benetting both thecommunity and our athletes, itsinspiration comes from Dunnspersonal experience from whenshe played basketball for theUniversity of Georgia.

When I was at the UGA as astudent athlete, one of my morememorable times there even afterplaying the NCAA Final Fourwas when we used to go out tothe local elementary schools andread, said Dunn.

Although UGAs programwas not as organized or asadvanced as SCORE, it impactedDunn and the local children inthe same way she hopes it willimpact those in Rome.

I met a little girl named

Brandy with an extremely hard

home life and she connectedwith me, Dunn said. From theday I read to her until the day Ileft college, if she was having areally difcult time her teacherwould call me to talk to her andhelp her through those situationsand it took over my heart.

With a total of 12 public andprivate elementary schoolsinvolved and seven reading datesalready completed, it appearsSCORE is headed exactly theway Dunn envisioned it.

Its been amazing, from theresponse of the athletes whomost often want to return and doit again, to the schools just beingso impacted and thrilled with theattitude and personality of theathletes coming in, Dunn said.

In addition to having a bookread by the visiting athletes, eachstudent in the class also receivesa ticket for free admission and afree snack at that athletes nexthome game.

The next reading day will beheld on Nov. 13 at Unity Chris-tian Elementary and Elm StreetElementary. Any athlete can beinvolved by simply talking to

their coach.

Hunting regulations beneft Berry

Deer season is underway, and the WildlifeManagement Area (WMA) on Berrys campusprovides just over 15,000 acres for participat-ing hunters.

According to the recreation section of Ber-rys website, archery hunts for deer of eithersex may be conducted from Sept. 8 throughOct. 29. Firearms can be used to hunt bucksOct. 31 through Nov. 1, and on Nov. 2 and 3

both sexes can be hunted. Hunting with re-arms, this time for both sexes, is allowed againNov. 28 through Dec. 1. Finally, only childrenaccompanied by an adult may hunt on Jan. 12and 13.

Berry Director of Forestry Operations Wil-liam Yeomans said the scheduled hunts helpBerry in two important ways. First of all, theykeep the deer population under control.

Theres always a concern about overpop-ulation and disease, and so forth, Yeomanssaid.

The second benet, Yeomans said, is that

because Berry land is used as a WMA, theGeorgia Department of Natural Resources(DNR) patrols the property year-round. Theyhave identied and helped deal with poach-ing, dumping and growing marijuana on theland.

Yeomans explained that the DNR would dothis even if Berry were not a WMA, but only ifBerry identied the problem rst. Instead, theDNR has someone on the property every day.

Our campus police just doesnt have thenecessary manpowerand so the DNR helpsus manage that land, Yeomans said. Its a

benet to the community to allow for publichunting, but it also helps us in our land man-agement.

The land Berry uses for hunting is leased tothe Georgia Department of Natural Resourcesas a WMA; therefore the dates for the huntshere are prescribed by the state. The Depart-ment of Natural Resources Wildlife ResourceDivision circulated a magazine called Geor-gia Hunting Seasons and Regulations 2012-2013. In it the public hunting opportunitiesat BerryGame Management region number103are specied.

Yeomans said Berry abides by the datespecications given in the magazine.

We strictly adhere to this schedule whichisset by the state, Yeomans said.

The two rearm hunts at Berry have a quotaof 1,000 hunters. Hunters from all over thestateand some from outside itenter a lot-tery, and the rst 1,000 are randomly selectedand allowed to hunt. Prospective hunters thatlost in the lottery are given priority and aremore likely to be selected for the second hunt.

Yeomans explained that Berry provides 50landowner permits for students, faculty andstaff to be allowed to hunt without enteringinto the lottery.

In addition to the 15,029-acre WMA onBerrys campus, there are also places for fourtracts of land for hunting clubs to utilize. One

of these, called the Pumping Station, is fre-quently used by a hunting club comprised ofmany members of Berrys faculty and staff.

Berry students and faculty are kept safe bya large buffer zone, deemed the Berry CollegeRefuge, between its facilities and the land thathunters are allowed on. There is signage pre-venting hunters from advancing too close toplaces where members of the Berry commu-nity may be in order to avoid injury for non-hunters and inconvenience for the hunters.

Access to the WMA is provided by a specialentrance that bypasses main and mountaincampuses, and the recreation section of Berryswebsite reminds hunters that Hunters MAYNOT access the Wildlife Management Areafrom campus. Also, no hunters are allowedonto the WMA without both a Georgia hunt-ing license and a special WMA stamp.

Yeomans said not just any man with a guncan hunt at Berry.

The hunters that come here are not onlylicensed hunters but they actually purchaseda Management Area permit, Yeomans said.

ObamaCONTINUED FROM PG.1

Many students of all politicalpreferences are more concernedabout the economy than anythingelse. Freshman Peyton Hannerssaid she was dismayed at theoutcome of the election because

she sees no economic improve-ment under Obama.

I understand that in an econ-omy it takes more than four yearsto get out of a rut and I understandthat he was handed a crappy econ-omy, but I see no policies that areeven trying to do anything withthat, Hanners said. Honestly, Idid my research online and com-pared before he was elected andafter, and nothing was positivelyproduced. I feel like every policyis either upping taxes or puttingus in more debt in the long run.

Freshman Jodi Lawson saidshe was stoked about Obamasre-election, because she was con-

cerned about Romneys plan to xthe economy.

My biggest concern is theeconomy, and Romney didnthave a set plan, Lawson said.Obama might not be the best,

but at least he has a plan.Holt also said that Romneys

greatest aw was that his ideas

were too vague.What disturbed me about

Romney was that he was unwill-ing to talk specically about whathe was going to do, Holt said.He had a plan but he wouldnt

tell us what the plan was. I canttrust somebody who wont talkabout what theyre going to do.

Freshman Ian Carey was infavor of Obama not only for thesake of the economy but for socialissues as well.

The biggest things for me arepro-choice and gay marriageIreally think people should havethose rights, Carey said. AndRomneys ideas about cuttingtaxes but then raising spend-ing and military dont make anysense, and thats going to makethe debt even worse.

The election also yielded a con-tinuation of the split of power in

Congress: the House of Represen-tatives continues to be controlled

by Republicans and the Senate byDemocrats. Reactions on campusare concerned but hopeful aboutthese results. Holt said that thisextension of split power shouldreect that voters think the nationis heading in the right direction.

I think theres a good systemof checks and balances there,Holt said. Their key goal fouryears ago was to see Obama leaveas a one-term president, and thathas not happened, so its time

they come to table and have aconversation and stop obstructingthe function of our government.

Associate Professor of Soci-ology and Anthropology AnnLewinson said she thought Rom-neys plan was probably the useof trickle-down economics.

Weve been trying that prettymuch non-stop since 1980, and ithasnt worked, Lewinson said.It hasnt created jobs, and ithasnt created wealth for the vastmajority of the American people.When do we stop trying to makesomething that doesnt workwork?

Associate Professor of History

Christy Snider said she is hopefulthat Obama will be able to suc-ceed relatively soon.

Historically, the best timepresidents have to accomplishanything is immediately after theelection, so I think that does bodewell for something happening interms of avoiding that scal cliff

that they talk aboutmandatorytax hikes and spending cuts,Snider said. I think that if hesgoing to be able to accomplishanything, thats where hes goingto have the most success.

In his concession speech lastnight in Boston, Romney wishedObama good luck and expresseda desire for cohesion.

This is a time of great chal-lenges for America, and I praythat the president will be suc-cessful in guiding our nation,Romney said. The nation, as youknow, is at a critical point. At atime like this, we cant risk par-tisan bickering and political pos-turing. Our leaders have to reachacross the aisle to do the peopleswork. And we citizens also haveto rise to the occasion.

Obama gave his victory speechlast night in Chicago and thanked

the nation for his re-election.Whether I earned your vote

or not, I have listened to you,I have learned from you andyouve made me a better presi-dent, Obama said. And withyour stories and your struggles,I return to the White House moredetermined and more inspired

To begin, I am not a pickyeater. There are very few foodsthat I dont like, and I will eatvirtually anything you put infront of me. Sure, there are somefoods that I dont prefer cookeda certain way, but thats besidethe point.

The point is, the dining hall(popularly known as D-Hall),particularly this year, is not onlyserving bad food, but they arenot serving essential nutritionin a balanced way so that any-

bodyfrom a picky eater to anon-picky eatercould be ful-lled with their daily nutrition.

I do understand that D-Hallcant satisfy everybody, and nomatter what they serve there will

be some people who simply donot relish the food choices, butthe selection of healthy foodsavailable in D-Hall is very nar-row, extremely repetitive and notgetting any better.

Backing up, last year I wasperfectly content with D-Hall.I would enter conversationswhere my fellow classmateswere discussing how tastelessor monotonous the food selec-tions are, and I would argue thatits really not too bad, that myfriends have far worse food attheir colleges and that we should

just be thankful that we havesuch variation. Now, that havehas turned into a had.

I am only a sophomore, so Idont have many years of experi-ence with D-Hall food, but themargin of difference between thequality and variety of this year

and last years food is exception-ally large. Nearly every day ofmy freshman year I was excitedto see what was new in theExhibition or Internationallines. Selections were kept inter-esting and fresh throughout theyear, only occasionally overdo-ing a particular food item.

This year, I cannot count howmany times that they have hadsomething to do with ciabatta

bread. And peanut butter, jellyand Rice Krispies wraps? Whilethat sounds good, there are bet-ter things they could be spend-ing our money on. I will admitthough, they have been doing agood job at surprising me withtasty buffalo wings and someother rare dishes.

To clarify before I go any fur-ther, I mean no disrespect to thedining staff or cooks, becauseI know that they work hardthis year and probably hear toomuch ridicule about the food. Iam honestly most disappointedin the management. When Ihave talked to managementabout some of the issues that myfriends and I have had this year,they have mostly agreed withcomments such as I have notseen as many complaints on thesuggestions board in my manyyears of being here as I have

been seeing this year.However, when I have person-

ally brought to the attention ofmanagement the problems thatI have noticed, I am always toldone of the following responses:We will pass it on to [somebodyelse] or Im sorry to hear that,things should be getting bettersoon or [The issue] is probably

because [unrelated reason]; justeat something else. But one ofthe paramount problems I havenoticed this year is that it is not

just one food line that has theseproblems; its typically most of

the dining hall.Once again, to clarify, I am

not trying to sound ungrateful,because I do know that manyindividuals in the D-Hall staffare hard workers, but I do feellike it has gotten lazier than lastyear.

The biggest advice I couldgive to improve the quality andvariety in D-Hall is to listen towhat the students have to sayon the comments/suggestions

board. It is my understandingthat the majority of the student

body feels the same pain, andwhile some individuals havedisliked D-Hall for years, I havemet many students who havenoticed the decline just since lastyear.

The comments I have seenhave been good and the board isfull of insightful suggestions, butit pains me to see the responseI will pass it on to [somebodyelse] in virtually every answer.

Just a year agoand I knowthis last year talk is probablysounding oldthe responseswere, more often than not,Good idea or It will be done.What happened?

I really dont mean to be oneto complain, and I am usuallya very positive person. But it

just pains me to see how muchmoney we spend for our mealplan to be served no variety, andnot much choice for essentialnutrition.

Please, D-Hall, listen to thestudents suggestions, andactively try to bring in more vari-ety and more nutritious options.I honestly did like D-Hall, andwould be more than happy toget three meals a day there. But,as I keep saying, the choices andoverall quality of the food is sim-ply not as good as it used to be.

We pay too much to be servedvariety that is only declining.

OPINIONSPAGE 4, CAMPUS CARRIER NOVEMBER 8, 2012

The Carrier editorial reflects a consensus of the The Carriers editorial board.

The pageantry of objecticationIn beauty pageants, no

one cares what your historyis, your (real) opinion onimportant matters or whatyour future plans are. But,youd better make sure yourmakeup is perfect, youveresearched the rightanswers for pageant inter-view questions and you lookgood in a bikini.

Of course, not all pag-

eants are exactly like this.The Miss Berry pageant, forexample, does put empha-sis on talents and interviewquestions. But lets be real:No woman who is unat-tractive in the eyes of soci-ety will ever win a beautypageant, even if there is sup-posed to be less emphasis onlooks.

With pageants, women(and men, for that matter)are force-fed the idea thatthere is only one very spe-cic type of woman that

deserves love and atten-tion. They are the winnersof our culture and thereforedeserve a pedestal and theworship of all who maycome in contact with them.

This is not to say that win-ners of pageants are terriblehuman beings who are seek-ing said worship. Many aresimply looking for a way toshow off a particular talent.But the fact is that those whojudge pageants look for thecontestant who best ts theimage of a pageant winner.

When it comes down to

it, pageants today, like MissAmerica, demonstrate theobjectication of womenthat has become much tooprevalent in our culture. Awomans worth becomes

based on her beauty andmaybe a special skill she pos-sesses. We dont have intel-ligence pageants; culturehas taught us that we shouldcare more about looks thanaptitude or personality.

This past weekend, majorevents took place in theBerry community. On Sat-urday afternoon, Vikingssoccer won the Southern

Athletic Association (SAA)conference title. Later thatafternoon, Lady Vikings vol-leyball won their conferencetitle. These are the rst con-ference titles ever won in theSAA after its conception lastyear. That evening, DanaWenger was crowned MissBerry 2012.

This is not to downplaythe triumph of winning MissBerryits quite an accom-plishment. But, our sportsteam also deserve recongi-tion for their accomplish-

ments. Those who went tothe pageant spent at leasttwo hours celebrating thetalents of the contestants;why cant we also hold somekind of celebration for theseteams?

Lets take it one step fur-ther. Every year, studentsrepresent Berry through aca-demia and bring back tro-phies and other awards tolavish on Berry. Yet there islittle to no publicity for theseacademic events; there maybe an email about them afterthe fact, but thats about all

we hear about it.These athletes and cham-

pions of academia deserveto be ambassadors of Berryjust as much (if not more)than Miss Berry.

Before you stop reading, no, itis not because President BarackObama was re-elected (I wouldhave probably been more disap-pointed if Mitt Romney had beenelected; at least those voting forObama can concretely say whattheir candidate stands for). Rather,it was about the reaction on socialmedia like Facebook that sickenedme.

I understand that Republicansare upset that their liberal Repub-lican candidate wasnt elected; Ialso understand that Democratsare more than ecstatic that theirnear-socialist president was givenfour more years. What I dontunderstand is why the ethnicity ofeither candidate had to be broughtup.

More than once I read a post onFacebook that said something like,Obama wouldnt have won if hewas white or, even worse, Blackpeople wouldnt have even votedif Obama wasnt black. When Irst read these posts, my gut reac-tion was to punch a hole in mycomputer. Realizing that it wasntmy computers fault, I proceededto the most rational decision: Starta Facebook war.

How disheartening that ourgeneration still gives leeway andeven support to racism. Obamawas not re-elected because he is

black; he was re-elected because hestands for a progressive America,a principle that much of the worldoutside of the U.S. has accepted.Im not judging whether that ide-ology is correct or not; Im judgingthe irrational behavior by muchof our generation, from the afore-mentioned racist posts to postslike wearing black for the funeralof America.

Just because Obama is not yourfavorite candidate does not giveyou the right to hurl insults thatmay have even been distasteful inthe 1950s. Respect is meant for allhuman beings; it should not stopat the sight of darker skin tone.

Success: he actu-ally cared aboutwomens health.

This past weekend, I had the greatjoy of attending the National CollegeMedia Convention. It was hosted inChicago and featured schools from allover the U.S.and even a few from ourneighbors to the north.

While at the conference, I met acouple of Canadians named Todd andSamara. They started to hang out withus and we followed each other on Twit-ter. That night, they hung out with thefolks from The Carrier in our hotel roomand I brought up the biggest thing onmy mind this weekthe election. Sur-prisingly enough, Todd launched intoa rant castigating the policies of Mitt

Romney and pointing out huge awsin the entire GOP, praising Obama forhis foreign policy successes. Samarapointed out several of Obamas poli-cies that were blocked by uncooperativeRepublicans in Congress, addressingthe common GOP criticism that Obamahad done nothing during his presidency.They debated policy with me, askinggood questions and offering compellingevidence about American law.

When bringing this up with a fewfriends, those who have traveled abroadall said the same horrifying thing: thatpeople from other nations know moreabout our policies here in the U.S. thanmost citizens do, especially people ourage. You can see pretty clearly the direc-tion our youth has decided to take onthis one, and the best example is onFacebook. I cant count the number ofstatuses Ive seen in the last few monthscomplaining about people debating

politics on Facebook.Oh, Im sorry, Sally Sueyoure

right. What I had for dinner was farmore important than the latest GOPrape apologist commentary, the futureof a life-saving organization likePlanned Parenthood, or the facts of a

presidential debate. We should all justgo back to telling each other our hairlooks good in this picture. Oh no goshstop it I didnt even do anything to it I

just rolled out of bed. Thats what wedo now, ladies and gentstake time outof our day to present the Internet with aface that represents a decision to remainignorant and unintelligible, stalking ourex-boyfriends rather than discussinghealthcare reform.

Now, theres nothing wrong withposting pictures of your dinner. Somepeople make delicious recipes andshare them, which is awesome. Butwhy would you waste such a beautifultool of public discourse on Bubble Warsinstead of informing each other about

the future of our nation? Our genera-tion uses social media every day, oftenfor hours a day, and our smartphonesgive us the ability to access informa-tion in seconds. Yet we still choose todiscuss the vapid stuff. It would be likeour grandparents using the telephoneto discuss the minor developments incrosswordswhich happened fromtime to time, Im sure. But they wouldnot have used it for crosswords exclu-sively, and they didnt yell at peoplewho used means for communication toactually communicate.

Regardless of whom you voted foron Tuesday, a change needs to happen.So long as we keep using social mediato stop communicating and dont geteducated on the issues, we wont feelcomfortable discussing themandpeople in China, Italy and South Africawill know more about our presidentialcandidates than we do.

United States of Apathy

Welcome to the real world

When I hear the phrase Im anadult, my mind automatically jumps tothe Saturday Night Live Digital Short,On the Ground, from Oct. 3, 2009.

The absurdity of the entire skit andcatchy lyrics make me laugh so hard Iwant to cry. However, for one exclaim-ing that he is an adult, Andy Samberg(the main actor in the short) portraysa very immature man. Samberg goesabout the city, causing chaos as hethrows a hot dog, an energy drink, hisgirlfriends phone, a childs birthdaycake and two Hollywood phoniesautographs on the ground.

And what does he get at the end ofall of this? A Taser to the butt. And whodoes he blame in the end for his misfor-tune? He blames it on the system. It is

completely ridiculous! But then again, itis SNL, what can you expect?

A lot of times, people our age saythings like I cant wait to be an adult.The truth is, we already are adults. Mostof us just dont have the guts to stand upand take the responsibilities we should

be taking. I recently caught myselfthinking I wish my parents would justtreat me like an adult and Why wontthey let me make my own decisions?

Then it hit me one late night at the

Carrier ofce: If I want to be treated likean adult, I have to make adult decisions,do adult things and in general takeadvice from adults and not pitch a tabout it.

Ive spent the past couple of yearscomplaining about the fact that my par-ents tell me what to do and when to doit, while thinking everything that wentwrong was their fault. It was my par-ents wont let me dye my hair or myparents wont let me gauge my ears. Italways came down to I cant do this orthat because my parents said so. Iverealized now that Im the one to blame

because of my unwillingness to acceptreality.

Sure, dying my hair and attemptingto gauge my ears was fun, but in thegrand scheme of life, they dont mat-ter! When we mess up or make a stupidchoice, why do we constantly complainabout what we cant do and things thatdont matter, then turn around and com-plain about our parents or blame themfor our decisions?

As adults, we have the ability tomake our own choices free of the direc-

tion of others. Take ownership of thosechoices. Be the man or woman you sayyou are. Sure, listen to and take noteof the advice of adults like older fam-ily members, but you have the ultimatepower and responsibility to make yourown choices and create your own future.

As college students and ultimatelythe future of the world, it is our dutyto wake up and smell the roses when itcomes to being the adults we claim to

be. People of Berry,grow up!

Famous Criminals

Charles Arthur Pretty BoyFloyd was born in Bartow Coun-ty, Georgia and grew up on hispoor familys farm in Oklahoma.Floyd began his life of crime asan attempt to escape the pov-erty of the Depression era af-ter an unsuccessful attempt ata farming career. His son, JackDempsey Floyd, was born in1921 while his father was serv-ing a three -year jail sentence forrobbing a Kroger store. Upon hisrelease, Floyd supposedly killeda man who was accused, but ac-quitted, of killing his father andsoon became a gunman for boot-

leggers along the Ohio River.However, Floyds legacy came

from his gangs rampage of vi-olent bank robberies in Ohio,Michigan, Kentucky and Okla-homa. Bank insurance ratesin Oklahoma allegedly doubledduring Floyds crime spree. Healso became popular with thepublic as he freed many citizenshaunted by debt by destroyingmortgage papers at several ofthe banks he robbed.

After the capture of JohnDillinger, Floyd was namedPublic Enemy No. 1, with a re-ward of $23,000 for his capture,dead or alive. He was found, shotand killed by FBI agents in 1934

during a chase following anotherbank robbery.

Bonnie Parker and Clyde Bar-row met in Texas in January1930. At this time, Bonnie was19 years old and married to animprisoned murderer and Clydewas 21 and single.

Shortly after meeting, Clydewas sent to jail for burglarybut escaped with a gun Bonniewas able to smuggle to him. Hewas quickly recaptured and sentback to jail, but was paroled in1932, when he rejoined Bonnieand continued his crime s treak.

By spring of 1933, the infa-mous two had joined with Wil-

liam Jones and Clydes brother,who also brought along his wife,to create the "Barrow gang." Dur-ing a shootout in Iowa in July

1933, Clydes brother was killedand his wife and Jones were cap-tured while Bonnie and Clydecontinued on together.

During their short partner-ship, the two were believed tohave committed 13 murders andseveral robberies, burglar ies andkidnappings.

The FBI was able to trackdown the estimated location ofBonnie and Clyde and on May14, 1934, a group of policemenfrom Louisiana and Texas hid inthe bushes along a highway nearSailes, La. where the notorious

pair was believed to be passingthrough. At dawn, the two ap-peared in a car and were shot todeath in the police ambush.

After enlisting in the Navyas a young man, John Dillingerdeserted his ship in Bostonwhere he married, moved toIndianapolis and picked up alife of crime with the local poolshark, Ed Singleton, in searchof easy money.

After serving eight yearsfor an attempted robbery of agrocery store, Dillinger was letout on parole in 1933. Dillingerorganized a gang and he and

his group spent the next yearterrorizing the Midwest. Dur-ing this time, the group was re-sponsible for the murder of tenmen and the wounding of sevenothers, robbing banks and po-lice arsenals as well as stagingthree jailbreaks.

Dillinger was named Public

Enemy No. 1 and was want-ed for a reward of $10,000. Aprostitute by the name of AnaCumpanas contacted a Chi-cago police officer with infor-mation on Dillingers location.Cumpanas told officers thatshe, Dillinger and a secondwoman would be going to thelocal movie theater the follow-ing night and described whatshe would be wearing so under-cover policemen could easily

identify her and Dillinger.When Dillinger recognizedthe undercover policemen uponexiting the theater a t 10:30 p.m.,he attempted to flee the scene.Five shots were fired from thepolicemen, and Dillinger waspronounced dead at 10:50 p.m.July 22, 1934.

Religious extremist JimJones founded the Peoples Tem-ple, a community of about 900Americans who sincerely want-ed peace and believed Joneswould lead the way.

When nonmembers beganto question the motives of thecommuntity, Jones organizedthe group to move to a new lo-

cation in Guyana that he calledJonestown. As concerns forfamily and friends in Jonestowngrew, California congressmanLeo Ryan went to Jonestown toinvestigate.

Initially, the entire communi-ty met Ryan with open arms andhis original worries vanished.

However, when several membersof Jonestown displayed interestin returning to America withRyan, Jones became infuriated.He organized an ambush on Ry-ans plane out of Guyana on Nov.18, 1978, resulting in the deathsof congressman Ryan along withseveral others.

During the same time as the

ambush, Jones was unfoldinga master plan. After years ofgaining his followers trust, heorganized the mass suicide ofover 900 people, 200 of whichwere children, by giving out afruit-flavored drink laced withcyanide. Jones took his own lifewith a handgun.

he was responsible for atleast five brutal murders andcontinually sent letters to thepolice, newspapers and, inone case, a victims father.His letters contained chillingmessages, such as [Cheri Jo]Bates had to die, there willbe more, and I like killing

people because it is so muchfun.

Many of the letters utilizeda complex cipher and he usedthe letters to taunt the police,

describe detai ls of the crimesand threaten future murders.While a high school teacherin Salinas, Calif. cracked theZodiacs code, parts of someletters are still unsolved.The Zodiac Killer was nevercaught and his identity andlocation remain a mystery.

Often referred to as a mod-ern day Robin Hood of the1920s, Al Capone was a Chi-cago gangster. Along with hisillegal activities in prostitutionrings, bootlegging and gamblinghouses, Capone was a regularattendee of City Hall meet-ings and opened soup kitch-ens throughout the community.City officials, embarrassed andintimidated by his politicalstrength, kept close tabs on hislife and often set intentionalfires to his business locations.

Capones most famous of-fense was the St. Valentines

Day Massacre against rivalGeorge Bugs Moran. Fouroutside gunmen were hired soCapone couldnt be linked to theattack on Morans gang.

An alcohol hijacker was toldto contact Moran on Feb. 13,1929 with the message that hewould sell high quality liquorat a cheap price if Moran could

meet the following morning.When lookouts believed Moranhad entered his gangs garage,gunmen, two dressed as police-men, burst into the building.Morans gang, thinking it wasan alcohol bust, followed ordersto face a wall and remove theirweapons. The gunmen thenopened fire and killed all sev-en. The gunmen dressed in ci-vilian clothes exited in front ofthe false policemen with theirhands up to imitate an arrest.The only flaw: Moran never en-tered the building. He saw thepolice car stolen for the job, sus-

pected a police raid and decidedto leave the scene. Capone, forthe planning and carrying outof this plan, was living in Mi-ami, giving him a nearly perfectalibi.

It took nearly five years toconvict Capone and he spent 11years in jail in Atlanta as wellas four years in Alcatraz.

On Satu rday, March 8, 1969, between 2:30 and 4:30 a.m.,unknown persons broke into the office of the director offood services in Hermann Hall and stole a section of anoffice lamp cord.

exceptionally bold, while others will simply leave you wondering why thecrime was committed in the frst place.

night it was as KCAB put on theirannual Miss Berry Pageant on Sat-urday, Nov. 4.

Approximately 150 peopleshowed up at Ford Auditorium tosee seven contestants compete to

be crowned Miss Berry 2012.Those competing for the crown

were sophomore Paton Roden,junior Lauren Logan, senior DanaWenger, senior Madison Wil-loughby, senior Marley Jane Simo-nis, junior Brittany Aleri andsenior Nikki Taylor.

The rst runner up was Simonisand the second runner up was Tay-lor. Miss Congeniality, who wasvoted on by the contestants, wasLogan.

The process for the competitionchanged from its past shows, cutdown to one night rather than two.The pageant this year consisted ofan opening dance, a talent portion,formal wear and a surprise ques-tion for each contestant.

To begin the competition thecontestants performed an openingdance to Ladies Night by Kooland the Gang which was the themefor the pageant. Afterwards thecontestants introduced themselvesand the talent portion of the com-petition began.

The auditorium was lled withlaughter, cheers and applause dur-ing the talent competition wherecontestants were judged on poise,performance, audience interactionand originality.

Students and faculty alikegathered in the Science Audi-torium Tuesday evening for

Jacqueline Osherows poetryreading.

Osherow, a professor of Eng-lish and creative writing at theUniversity of Utah, as well as aprolic poet, presented poems

based around the Yiddish lan-guage and Jewish life. Thereading was sponsored by theGeorgia Poetry Circuit as wellas the Berry College Depart-ment of English, Writing andRhetoric Reading Series.

I always wanted to be a

poet, said Osherow. I lovedpoetry as a little child. I lovedthe psalms in Synagogue. Iloved The Childs Gardenof Verses. I loved nurseryrhymes I loved, later on,Emily Dickenson. I just lovedpoetry. Thats why I wanted to

be a poet.Many of the poems she pre-

sented at the reading were formpoems, following a set meteror rhythm. However, Osherowalso read some of her free versepoems. These poems do not fol-low a set meter or rhythm andinstead sometimes sound morelike prose than poetry.

I was very impressed withhow she structured her verylong poems, junior Zack Gam-mon said. It kept it owingwithout seeming forced.

She said the last poem shepresented was structured in aform she loves: terza rima, aninterlocking triple rhyme forminvented by Dante. She alsoloves sonnets, a form which sheused quite a bit in her reading.

One of the longest poemsshe read had a story attachedto it. When the volcano inIceland shut down air trafcseveral years ago, she was in

London and needed to get toSpain. Instead of waiting for

the airports to re-open, sheopted to take the ferry. One45-minute plane trip was atwo-day excursion on the ferry,and so Osherow used the timeto write a poem reecting theexperience.

Junior Daniel Warner saidthat his favorite poem was ACrown for Yiddish becausethey [sonnets] are ridiculouslyhard to do.

This particular poem wascomposed of 15 sonnets, eachsonnet beginning with theessence of the last line of theprevious sonnet and the 15thsonnet made up of components

from the previous sonnets.Warner said that althoughhe was attending the reading

because of his poetry class, heprobably would have gone tothe reading anyway.

Osherow discussed the pro-cess by which she composes herpoems.

I have a bunch of connec-tions I want to make and I getstarted and then I keep work-ing until Ive done somethingI dont want to abandon. ThenIm stubborn and I keep at it,Osherow said.

Osherow spoke at lengthabout A Crown for Yiddishand how it started with theimage of an Orthodox Jewishman on a bicycle in the rain andgrew from there.

She said that she did notreally have a favorite poem thatshe had written; instead shesaid her favorite may be Theone Im going to start tomor-rowor maybe the day aftertomorrow.

Osherow currently has sixbooks of poetry published,as well as having been pub-lished in other anthologies and

journals.

Letters to Sala brings tears, visually stunningCOMMENTARY BY

JOSH WILLIS

Staff Reporter

The Berry College Theatre Com-panys production of Letters toSala, written by Arlene Hutton,

directed by Richard Bristow andproduced in association with Dra-matists Play Service, Inc. openstonight at 7:30 p.m. The show willrun November 8-18 at the E.H.Young Theatre with performancesat 7:30 p.m. Thursdays throughSaturdays and matinees each Sun-day at 2 p.m.

Based on a true story, ArleneHuttons Letters to Sala concernsa Jewish woman, Sala GarncarzKirschner-who survived the hor-rors of the Holocaust-and the 352letters she amassed during herinternment from 1940 to 1946.

Walking into the auditorium,the audience is confronted with a

multipart set and a ghostly scoreconsisting of strings and piano.Platforms, tables, chairs, a woodenguard tower, letters inscribedon the oor and a pile of jacketsembroidered with gold stars andpink triangles, all cast against thesilhouette of a barbed wire fence,creating a somber scene. This com-

bination of score and set creates adisquieting atmosphere.

The near silence ends as the

action begins. The stage is dividedinto two scenes: the past and thepresent. In the past, young Sala,sensitively played by freshmanRena Lyons, deals with life ina Nazi work camp; she experi-ences the painful separation fromher family, the joys of budding

romance and the omnipresent fearof death.

The letters she receives from theoutside world are her constant andsometime only comfort. Decadesafter the war has ended, a nowelderly Sala, embodied brilliantly

by guest artist Jan Nisbet, gives herletters away to her daughter, por-trayed by senior Jennifer Allman.

This gift causes a deep riftbetween her daughter and hergranddaughters, played by fresh-man Rachel Blair and senior KaliMcMillian, who each have differ-ent opinions on what to do withthe letters.

For Lyons, the experience was

both challenging and rewardingdue to the importance of her role.I knew [the role] was going to

be extremely challenging, Lyonssaid. More than anything I knewI needed to share this story anddo it justice, and that was veryintimidating.

She believed the importance ofthe play rests in its relevance to themodern world.

The basic message, for me

at least, is one of oppression andhardship in the past, Lyons said.Unfortunately, stuff like this isstill happening today I hope thisproduction will reinforce the basicidea that we are all people and thesame, despite our differences.

Ashley Harzog, who plays real

life heroine Ala, felt that Letters toSala deals with the lasting inu-ence of the Holocaust.

It deals with the effects [theHolocaust] has on not only thesurvivors but their family as well,Harzog said. To me, it really high-lights the lasting effect the Holo-caust has on future generations.

Tanai Cannon, who playedSalas friend Glika, similarly

believed the play conveyed the factthat the Holocaust is not just anevent in the past.

I think the basic message iskeeping the memory alive thereis still oppression today; its notsomething that just happened a

long time ago, Cannon said. Itis lled with raw human emotionsand leads you to examine life andput your own problems in perspec-tive. Its very revealing of the cur-rent human condition. Thats why Ithink people should see this play.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $5for students. For tickets and addi-tional information please call theBerry College Theatre Box Ofce,(706) 236-2263..

The Vikings soccer team made Berry history as theytook the conference championship title in their rst yearin the SAA.

The Vikings defeated Centre College in penalty kicksafter the match ended in regulation time with a score of

2-2. While the game was heated, the Vikings felt composedand in control the whole game.

We played very well. I thought we had the upper handmost of the game, sophomore forward David Shaw said.

Berrys rst goal was scored by sophomore midelderZac Wallingford in the 30th minute of the match. The goalwas assisted by senior Bryan Sandridge. The team walkedoff at half-time with a 1-0 lead.

In the second half Berry managed to put another goal inthe net at the 48th minute. Freshman forward Caleb Lucasscored the second goal unassisted and put the Vikings up2-0.

We thought we had the game locked up, juniormidelder Josh Hughes said. But due to one reason oranother, Centre managed to catch up off of one goal andone penalty kick making the score 2-2 and bringing us intoovertime.

Centre scored in the 60th minute and tied the game in

the 77th minute when the referee called a foul on Berry inthe box. Centres Ryan Gervey took the kick and managedto place it in the back of the net.

Alumni Steven Weeks and former Berry soccer playerwas on the sideline during the game and he felt like he was

just as a part of the high tension and nerves as the rest ofthe team when it came to going into overtime.

It was frustrating because they scored their secondgoal on a penalty kick that was a questionable call, Weekssaid. We felt like we had dominated most of the gamethough so we were in a good position to win. We just hadto go in there, focus and nish it.

The Vikings led the score with 5 and 3 with the Berry

shooting rst and scoring all ve of their penalty shots.Freshman keeper Logan Hill saved Centres fourth shotand secured the Vikings their victory in the match and rstplace as the 2012 SAA champions.

It really is an amazing feeling putting forth a season ofhard work and coming out the other end with a champion-ship win, Hughes said. We had our struggles but it isalways so rewarding to push forward and have somethingthat you work hard for come about at the end.

The team is in its fourth and nal year as a probationary

Division III member. The Vikings are now eligible for SAAchampionships.

I think the team is going to be even stronger next yearwhich is really exciting, Shaw said. We have our sightson a second conference championship and then we arelooking to head for nationals.

With only four seniors on the team the Vikings willmaintain a solid foundation for future success, and havea good chance to compete for the national championship.The Vikings nal record is 14-3-2.

Kettle bells were swung, wall balls werethrown and teams took off in sprints as anumber of Berry students participated Sat-urday in the opening Crosst UCS masterclass, free for all college students for themonth of November.

The class began with the group learninga number of basic lifting movements start-ing with the proper way to sit in a squatthen learning how to dead lift and be in afront rack position. While these terms mayseem like a foreign language at the begin-ning, the group picked it all up by the endof the hour.

I absolutely loved it, junior MaryClaire Stewart said. As a former competi-tive gymnast I thrive in competition andintense workouts. CrossFit pushed me tolimits that I did not think I could reach.

The students were then split into teamsof four and raced to beat the clock and theirfellow classmates to nish the Work outof the Day (WOD). The students had 100wall ball tosses, 40 box jumps, 40 kettle bellswings, 40 ground to overheads, 40 push-ups and 40 sit ups with the length of thegym lunges and a sprint to the nish.

CrossFit coach and athlete Jessica Bostsaid the coaches of the gym are very enthu-siastic about reaching out to the college

community and showing them the poten-tial of what their bodies can really do.

Crosst college students have a uniqueadvantage because of their age, Bost said.Whether they are looking at it to furthertheir own personal health or they would

be interested in pursuing the sport of it all,they are at an advantage because they areat the point where their bodys peaking.

CrossFit is for all athletes trying to bet-ter their performance on the eld or peoplelooking to enhance their physical health.

Senior Will Graham has been training atCrossFit UCS since February 2012.

CrossFit makes you think of your bodyas a functional machine, Graham said.You push your body to limits you didntknow you could and you see results ofimprovement very fast. It also changes theway you look at your nutrition and sleep-ing habits.

Over the course of this past week, stu-dents have been taking advantage of thefree month. On Monday, 11 college stu-

dents showed up to a single class.It is really great working out with my

fellow Berry classmates, Stewart said. Itadds to the level of competition and makesyou really want to push yourself evenharder to get a better time.

Many students have noted how sorethey feel after these past few days workingout, but theyre still very eager to return.

You just see your body transform,Stewart said. And I just feel like a beastdoing it.

History was written, records were brokenand a title was claimed on Sunday as theLady Vikings (27-5) defeated the Millsaps Col-lege Majors (25-7) to win the inaugural South-

ern Athletic Association (SAA) tournamentchampionship.

The Lady Vikings beat the Majors in foursets, with scores of 25-22, 25-16, 22-25 and25-12. Sophomore outside hitter Kelsey Loch-stampfor recorded 18 unreturnable shots,which was her career-high for kills in her col-legiate career. Prior to the match, Lochstamp-for averaged 1.6 kills per set which ranks fthon the team. Lochstampfor scored seven killsin each of the rst two sets of the match.

Our game plan was to isolate Kelsey onthe right side early and often, and she con-nected, Lady Vikings Head Volleyball CoachMika Robinson said, according to BerryVi-kings.com. Millsaps is a very good blockingteam, so we wanted to set up Kelsey on theoutside.

After the rst two sets, the Lady Vikingsheld a 2-0 lead, winning the two games by atotal point-margin of 12 points.

The Lady Vikings practiced hard all yearon aspects of the game such as, scoring bigand holding on to leads to ensure the victories.

This season, I think we really grew as ateam, freshman libero Stephanie Steel said.Ever since the rst day of preseason, I knewwe had the potential to be the best; we just hadto work hard to get there and to put the gamesaway. And thats just what we did. Everypractice, we competed against each other andpushed each other to improve every day.

The Majors overcame the two-set decit topull out the second set with a score of 25-22.The Lady Vikings trailed the Majors early inthe set with a score of 9-18, but pulled the set

within two points 22-24 before losing the nextpoint to bring the match score to 2-1, with theLady Vikings still leading.

In the fourth set, the Lady Vikings estab-lished a 10-0 run with senior libero JenniferTinnell serving for nine of those points. Tin-nell, who had four of the Lady Vikings sevenaces for the game, sat out out the 2010 and2011 seasons due to an injury.

With the 13-point win in the fourth set,the Lady Vikings claimed the inaugural SAAcrown in a 4-1 victory. Junior setter StephanieQuinn recorded 40 assists in the champion-ship game, and was crowned Most ValuablePlayer for the 2012 SAA championship.

Freshman outside hitter Emily Strom-berg tallied 15 kills for the Lady Vikings. TheLady Vikings 27-5 (.844 percent) season nalrecord is the best in Berry College history forvolleyball.

The win for the Lady Vikings was a dreamcome true for many of the players.

Words cannot describe how great it feelsto be SAA Champions; ever since I decided Iwanted to play at Berry, I had a countdown onmy phone of how many days til the confer-ence tournament championship, Steel said.Waking up that Sunday morning and seeingmy countdown nally reach zero just mademe that much more excited to nally be com-peting in the rst ever SAA Conference Cham-pionship. As if making it to the championshipwasnt enough, being able to host the tourna-ment just made the experience that much bet-ter. Being able to compete in front of our homecrowd, on our own court just made the experi-ence that much more incredible.

Steel also expressed how this season hasmade her a more solid volleyball player.

Personally, I felt like I got a lot better thisyear, Steel said. I realized my serve receiveimproved as well as my defense. I was ableto get a little faster with my reaction time thisseason. I just cant believe in a matter of twomonths I was able to improve so much in sucha small amount of time. I owe it mostly to myteammates. If it wasnt for their determinationto be the best and always bringing a competi-tive nature to practice, I dont think I wouldhave improved as much as I did this season.

The SAA tournament win is the LadyVikings rst league tournament champion-ship since they won the National Associationof Intercollegiate Athletes (NAIA) regularseason title in 2008. Berry athletics are in theirnal year under probationary status in theNCAA Division-III and will be eligible to com-pete in the NCAA national championships in2013 if they qualify.
