    Lee sophomore Heather Rawleigh

    Lee sophomore Heather

    awleigh is blessed to be alive

    nd recovering after slipping

    aturday night while running to

    er dorm from OBannon-Bowdleomplex. While rushing past

    torms Hall with her friend Terri

    ones, Rawleigh suddenly slipped

    nd slid across the asphalt, sup-

    osedly leaving a trail of blood

    om her face.

    n just a few seconds the Atkins-

    llis resident blacked out and

    emained unconscious for nearly

    ve minutes. That left Jones

    one in the dark, rain, and cold

    o seek help. Without a cellular

    hone, she found herselfcreaming out to anyone, any

    ossible person who could come

    nd help out.

    Fortunately, a few young men

    om Storms witnessed the fall,

    oticed that Rawleigh was not

    etting up, and called for an

    mbulance.

    A few more of Rawleighs friends

    rrived just in time- including

    Brandon Fenty, Kyle Wilkerson,

    and David Wirt. In moments the

    ambulance arrived on the scene,

    whisking the Rawleigh to Bradley

    Memorial hospital. There, spe-

    cialists determined that a bone in

    her face had become fracturedfrom the incident. Doctors be-

    came concerned that bone frag-

    ments could be stuck near her eye

    or brain, though thankfully, that

    turned out not to be the case.

    A nurse wasted no time in calling

    the students mother and father

    and insisted that they depart right

    away because their daughter

    could be going into surgery any

    minute.

    Rawleigh later reported that her

    parents immediately prayed and

    felt a peace about the situation.

    Nevertheless, they left Goldsboro,

    North Carolina at approximately

    1:40AM with a ten hour drive

    ahead of them.

    From Bradley Memorial,

    Rawleigh was sent by ambulance

    to Erlanger in Chattanooga, Ten-

    nessee. Heather was released

    soon after arrival and was trans-

    ported with her friends back to

    her Lee dormitory by her resident

    assistant and resident director.

    They arrived at 5:15AM.

    In adition to a few abrasions, a

    slightly swollen cheekbone and a

    black eye, doctors believe that

    there may be some sinus damage.As a result, they have put her on

    antibiotics and pain medication.

    The bone, Rawleigh believes, may

    heal on its own, without the need

    for further surgery. Two days

    later Rawleigh returned to Chat-

    tanooga to see a plastic surgeon

    regarding her face.

    Rawleigh claims she has no

    memory of the fall, saying she

    only remembers waking up to

    find paramedics surrounding her

    at the scene.

    I was questioning everything Ithought was real when I came

    to, she says. Her friends later

    told Rawleigh that they asked her

    questions like what day of the

    week is it? and do you have

    any homework tonight? but she

    did not know. Supposedly she

    doesnt even recall the first ride to

    the hospital.

    Today, the Lee student is in much

    prayer from family and friends.

    Her family arrived safely, over-

    seeing her recovery and taking her

    out to dinner. Rawleigh says they

    told her they would stay as long as

    they need to. Concerning how the

    ordeal changed her physical ap-

    pearance, Rawleigh stated, Luck-

    ily its not that bad... I dont look

    mauled or anything.

    T h e F a c e b o o k F i f t e e n We live in a digital universe. One where groups are everywhere and to be committedmeans just signing up. When did clubs become so unclubish? When Facebook arrived.

    Our editors have chosen the best Lee Facebook groups, judging popularity, humor,

    and creativity against usefulness and content. Narrowing fifteen from fifteen-hundred can be a daunting task, but we proudly present our picks:

    hioans

    Creator: Mike Sothard

    About:

    Why we picked it: Face it.

    veryone at Lee is from Ohio.

    he rest of us can just pretend

    were cool. The group cur-

    ently boasts 96 proud mem-

    ers, although we know there

    re a few million more out

    here.

    Fraternal Order of Ninjas

    Creator: Mike Daniels

    About: Are you on the third

    floor of OBannon? Maybe

    even just super cool and

    friends with cats on that floor.

    Do you totally flipout and get

    super pumped for no appar-

    ent reason? Then you might

    be cut of the same cloth as the

    Fraternal Order of Ninjas.

    Why we picked it: The Ninja

    Vs. Pirate war has consumed

    the minds and hearts of somany on campus. What else is

    there to get excited about in

    Cleveland, Tennessee?

    Does your roommate talk to

    you while theyre sleeping?

    Creator: Jordan Dingess

    About: For those who stay

    awake at night because your

    roommate wont quit talking

    in there sleep!!!!

    Why we picked it: As odd as

    it is, it happens. We dont

    know exactly what Mr. Din-

    gess was thinking when he

    created this group, but it

    would be nice to find out who

    his roommate is.

    Bowdle Boys are Really,

    Really Ridiculously Good

    Looking

    Creator: Julie Maxey

    About: This group is for all

    the men of Bowdle and the

    ladies who love them!

    Why we picked it: Our stud-

    ies show this one to be true.

    Nine out of ten Bowdle guys

    really are really, really ridicu-

    lously good looking. It sounds

    like the admissions depart-

    ment has good taste.

    I go to Lee and am not l

    ing for a spouse! Shock

    know!

    Creator: Susan Bookout

    About: Not everyone her

    in a rush to get married o

    looking for their MRS de

    Why we picked it: As de

    pressing as the news is to

    Conn and the rest of the

    here, we have to admit thits true. Sure, campus is

    with young people lookin

    for their soul-mate, but p

    realize that its not every

    Wouldnt it be Great if

    r. Conn Shaved His

    Mustache?

    Creator: Ben Stiefel

    About: How cool would

    be if Dr. Conn shaved

    is mustache?! Maybe

    hat should be addressed

    t the next Ask The

    resident day.

    Why we picked it: Dr.

    Conn is a president who

    will most certainly fill

    ees record books. Fol-

    owing accomplishments

    ke new construction, a

    uilding enrollment, andnice bit of facial hair,

    tudents have deter-

    mined that its time for a

    hange.

    Driving all the way to

    Lee University!!

    Creator: Emily Cox

    About: Driving to LeeUniversity.

    Why we picked it: The

    dull and obvious descrip-

    tion catches nearly eve-

    ryone off guard and half

    of campus always loves

    to brag about their mis-

    fortune, therefore, were

    sure everyones glad to

    have this group.

    Ive now driven back

    and forth between Cleve-land and Colorado 6

    times, and trust me thats

    enough, states student

    Amanda Hilgenfeld on

    the message board.

    SLC

    Creator: Dustin Adkison

    About: The SLC is the

    student leadership coun-

    cil at Lee University.

    They serve the campus

    through servant leader-

    ship. Anyone interested

    in helping out with cam-

    pus events can join.

    Meetings are every Wed.

    night at 8:30 after A2

    chapel at The House.

    Why we picked it: Wevelong been impressed

    with this growing group.

    Chairperson Daniel Tid-

    well keeps members

    well-informed of upcom-

    ing events.

    Ive Been on a Date to

    Waffle House

    Creator: Christian Hall

    About: Have you evertaken anyone, or been

    taken on a date to Waffle

    House? If so, then this is

    the group for you!

    Why we picked it: Its

    sad, if nothing else, that

    this group has even 25

    members. In the message

    board, students post

    stories about their expe-

    riences and tips on how

    to survive the tragedy.

    What really caught us offguard was the honesty of

    all of the members and

    especially the creator.

    Who else would admit

    what they have??

    Lovers of Creative

    Movement

    Creator: Jill Hammon

    About: For those that

    enjoy shakin their tail

    feathers and want to d

    so without their schoo

    telling them they aren

    allowed...

    Or just for those that

    enjoy gettin their groo

    on...

    Why we picked it: Th

    are always rebels. And

    we love it when rebels

    rebel digitally. Who

    doesnt know that our

    professors dance in th

    offices?

    I Want to be an Officer

    About: Ever dreamed of

    being an officer on a

    facebook group? We have

    too! All you have to do is

    join our group and well

    make you an officer

    within 24 hours!

    Why we picked it:

    Groups on Facebook

    usually include a list of

    officers. Although this

    one may not have the

    largest number of offi-

    cers, it certainly has the

    concept right.

    Lee Online Prayer Team

    About: Have a prayer

    request? Join the Lee

    Online Prayer Team and

    tell us how we can pray

    for you and your needs.

    While youre here, take a

    look at other posted

    prayer requests andspend time with God for

    someone else.

    Why we picked it: There

    are times when we just

    need prayer. Those times

    just seem to pop up more

    often near the end of a

    semester. But regardless

    of when we need it, the

    Lee Online Prayer Team

    is always there.

    I Attend Campus Events

    for the Free Food!

    About: Ever been starv-

    ing in your dorm room

    when you suddenly real-

    ized you could just go to

    a meeting, party, or event

    for free food? The truly

    skilled can even get by

    without a meal plan!

    Why we picked it: Afterblowing all of their

    money on books, many

    students dont have a

    dime to spend on food.

    This group shows that it

    is possible to survive a

    cheap life. Plus, you

    wont want to miss the

    comments on the mes-

    sage board, always de-

    tailing where to dine

    next!

    Ive Made More Than

    Ten Groups on Facebook

    About: If youve created

    more than ten groups,

    then youre invited to

    join this exclusive club.

    Take a breather while

    you think up your next

    group...

    Why we picked it: Most

    people create one or two

    groups and then go on

    with their lives and get

    married. A select few, on

    the other hand, create

    more Facebook groups

    than there are people to

    join them. Were glad

    they now have an exclu-

    sive club.

    Just Another Dr. Co

    Group

    About: This group i

    everyone ELSE on c

    pus who is not in a D

    Conn group already

    Why we picked it: W

    nearly ten Dr. Conn

    groups and countin

    time was ripe for thi

    group to come along

    Here, members are ecouraged to share st

    What needs to be built next is probably a parkinglot, I think so that well have more places to putour vehicles. But what I think is going to be builtnext is .... a new dorm like Bowdle and OBannon.

    What I think theyre going to build next is anotherdorm like OBannon and Bowdle but I think theyreally need to make a new Conn Center becauseits basically cracking and sinking, so.... if theydont want us all to die and it to collapse on us,then I think thats what they need to build.

    -Jessica Hodson

    Talk from the PCSU

    A girls dorm the size of OBannon would be nice.

    -Mandi Read

    I think an on-campus zoo would make a great ad-dition to Lee University campus.

    -Philip Bazikian

    I would think that a couple of the dorms need tobe redone so that they are up to standard and notfalling apart anymore and that wireless should be.... campus wide.

    Underneath the Browning Bridg

    -Oliver Williams-

    Underneath the Browning Bridge,a creek flows toward the sea,former raindrops flying past,searching to be free.

    That Browning Bridge,an aging arch, across a simple stream,is lonely for some reason,like a boy without a dream.

    Surrounded by the tallest trees,and broken by the vengeful tears,the Browning Bridge stays on its knee

    yet few expect the bridge in years.

    The Browning Bridge had always beena symbol of the world within,standing strong throughout the yearsand conquering those deepest fears.

    In retrospect, how can it be,that such a bridge would fall with timeWhy can not the people see,the part they take in such a crime?

    No remnant, of a memory,a creek flows to the sea,former raindrops flying past,searching to be free.

    Poetry

    Fun with Dick and Jane

    proves to be just that.! Everdreamed of living a

    wonderful life, complete

    with a beautiful subur-

    ban home, a bilingual

    hild, and a good job? Thats the life of Dick (JimCarrey) and Jane (Tea Leoni) in this new remake of

    he 1977 comedy by the same title.

    The film opens with Dick on his way to

    work at a large corporation. Surprisingly, he is

    iven a rather large promotion to become a Vice

    resident in the company. Jane quits her job to be

    with her son and the two begin to prepare for a

    festyle of luxury. Unfortunately, what Dick does

    ot know is that he has been set up by employees

    o take the fall when the company goes under.

    Suddenly the company goes out of

    usiness and Dick and Jane are left without work,

    ll of their money in the fallen corporations stock,

    nd a rapidly decreasing land value. In one of the

    more humorous sequences of the movie, Dick and

    ane both fight to find new jobs, none of which

    work out.

    Facing eviction and bankruptcy, Dick

    nd Jane both turn to a life of crime to gain back

    what they lost. The hold-ups begin at service sta-

    ons, progress to coffee shops, and then, eventu-

    lly, banks. To spice things up a bit, the couple

    dresses as various famed duos to disguise their

    identities throughout the robberies.

    ! Fun with Dick and Jane is no SundaySchool film and contains a series lack of morals.

    No one gets caught by police and everyone seemscompletely overtaken by greed.

    ! If you are looking for an exciting, fun-filled comedy that will teach you nothing, on the

    other hand, then this may be the perfect movie.

    Jim Carrey provides quite a few laugh-out-loud

    moments and a few circumstances in the plot may

    remind you of the reality we live in.

    ! Overall, the film is enjoyable, thoughultimately lacking in the morals department.

    Directed by Dean Parisot. Starring: Jim Carrey and Tea

    Leoni. Runtime: 90 minutes. Rated PG-13 for brief

    language, some sexual humor, and occasional drug

    references.
