KATELYN IKNERCo Editor-in-Chief The combination of alcohol and caffeine drinks, like Four Loko, is causing concern across college campuses. According to an article on FoxNews.com titled “NJ college places ban on boozy energy drinks,” Ramapo College, a college in New Jersey, has banned drinks that combine alcohol and caffeine. This ban is due to several incidents that resulted in 23 intoxicated students being hospitalized after drinking Four Loko. Ramapo College President Peter Mercer called Four Loko in a USAToday.com article, “a ‘cynical product’ whose only purpose is to get the drinker intoxicated quickly.” Another incident related to Four Loko occurred at Central Washington University. According to a FoxNews.com article titled “High-Alcohol Energy Drink Sickens More Students,” nine students were hospitalized after an Oct. 8 party where 50 students were discovered drinking Four Loko. Some students at the incident had blood-alcohol levels between 0.12 to 0.35 percent. Spring Hill College’s Nurse Melton described what happens to the body when under

Pell Grant shortfall will see effects next school yearJACOB BROWNINGNews Editor There is a $5 billion shortfall for the Pell Grant for the next academic year. Ellen Foster, Director of Financial Aid, warns students not to worry since the effects won’t be felt until the next academic year, 2011-2012. She also says that there is not much information available yet as to how it will affect the Pell Grant for certain. “When we go to this conference we’ll have a federal update and we should know something very soon. They should have it nailed down by December the third. When we come back into town, we should bring back some news with us,” said Foster. Along with the shortfall, two grants are being canceled, the Academic Competitiveness Grant (ACG) and the SMART Grant. According to Foster, losing the SMART Grant will not affect many SHC

students. “We didn’t have many of the majors in the high need areas that this grant intended to target,” said Foster. But the $150,000 or so per year the ACG brings to Spring Hill may be missed. All of this information is available on Badgweb, according to Foster. “We’ve been trying to keep everything posted that might impact our students. And we put it there right away,” said Foster. It is still too early to tell how this lack of funding will affect SHC or if the college might compensate students who lose funding. “I think that overall the whole country is in the same situation and I don’t know when we get the final numbers what Spring Hill will decide to do,” said Foster. Look for more information on Badgerweb sometime around the beginning of December.

Peace Corps has not seen this many volunteers since 1970 with 8,655 Americans serving in 77 host countries according to a Peace Corps press release. (The Peace Corps has hit record numbers of volunteers with almost 9,000 Americans serving in 77 host countries according to a Peace Corps press release. The Peace Corps has not seen numbers like this since 1970.) More college students are participating in volunteer programs like Peace Corps as a result of the economy’s downturn, according to previously published “SpringHillian” articles. A number of these volunteer programs having seen a drastic decrease in funds and a drastic

increase in volunteers. For the Peace Corps, however, this is not the case. According to the Peace Corps press release, $400 million was allocated to Peace Corp programs and Peace Corp states that it is continuing to grow. Several volunteer programs including the Jesuit Volunteer Corps cited receiving more applicants than placements according to previously published “SpringHillian” articles and the Peace Corps is no different. In 2010, according to the Peace Corps press release, 13, 5000 applications were submitted for volunteer positions, but there are more Americans applying to serve than there are positions available. At Spring Hill College, Mrs. Ashley

Dunklin, coordinator of academic advising and support services, helps assist students in answering questions about their career path. Why are Spring Hill students applying for volunteer positions like Peace Corps?

Dunklin says “part of it is the job market. Some just want to give back and are used to doing so, so often at Spring Hill. A lot of our students just have awareness for the need for service.”

In the past year, Peace Corps cited a diverse amount of volunteers, all from various age groups, backgrounds and different programs of interest. “Not necessarily just undecided students who are interested in opportunities like this,” Dunklin says. “I have a lot of nursing students, business

students and students with all sorts of majors who want to do service. One with a major is more than likely going to try to incorporate this major into their service to practice and use their skills.” Dunklin received her undergraduate degree in International Studies and Cultures and has always felt personally connected to programs like Peace Corps.

“I always wanted to volunteer. I always received pleasure and gratifi cation from helping others and was always interested in learning and exploring different cultures.” Dunklin stated. “Things happen in life and I wasn’t able to do it. But the desire to travel and do something to help others that desire never goes away.”

cold pint after work. Callaghan’s was opened in 1946

by Woodrow Callaghan. After Wood-row died his daughter took over and then in 2003 John Thompson, the cur-rent owner, bought Callaghan’s. According to Thompson, the clientele is what makes Callaghan’s unique, the customers at Callaghan’s range from college kids to the elderly crowd. Thompson said, “We have white collar, blue collar or no collar at all.” Walking into Callaghan’s, there is an immediate feeling of comfort. Whether you have been there a thousand times or it’s your fi rst step into the historical building, everyone is welcome with open arms. The walls are covered with old family photos and signs that depict the “Luck of the Irish.” The back wall is lined with a wooden bar that has barstools invit-ing you to sit down and have a drink or enjoy the burger that was voted “Best

Burger” by the Lagniappe and Mobile Bay Monthly. There are a few booths along the sidewall and tables fi ll the rest of the room. The shuffl eboard is a popu-lar spot for those looking to pass the time while they wait for their meal or just want to hang out and enjoy a cold brew with friends. There is also a good

amount of outdoor seating for those who want to enjoy the weather. Callaghan’s is in a historical neighborhood where most of the neigh-bors walk over for a bite to eat and

become regulars. On Wednesday and Thursday, Callaghan’s offers their L.A. burger. It is made with Conecuh sau-sage and has been featured in both USA Today and Travel and Leisure maga-zine. For those who aren’t into a hefty burger and would prefer something a little lighter, the salads at Callaghan’s are also delicious. They come with grilled or blackened chicken or shrimp and are a great selection. As for the burger, when asked if he could divulge the secret to the best burger in town, Thompson said, “Sorry, can’t give you the secret on the burger, then it wouldn’t be a secret.” After an afternoon at Cal-laghan’s Irish Social Club and a taste of their perfectly made burger you can’t resist another visit. Callaghan’s is the “pot of gold” at the end of the rainbow.

Whether it be Sunday afternoon or Friday night, Callaghan’s offers that

fun, laid back environment that every-one looks for when enjoying a cold beer and Irish burger that couldn’t be better if a leprechaun made it himself.

the influence of a drink that combines alcohol and caffeine. “The presence of both substances affects the absorption and metabolism functions of the body, leading to higher levels of caffeine in the blood stream and longer lasting effects of caffeine on the central nervous system.” Melton believes that the popularity of this drink is because “there is a false assumption that caffeine will help someone sober up. Sobering up requires lowering the level of alcohol in the blood stream by absorption or excretion.” Four Loko is in a 23.5-ounce can and sells for about $2.50. It has an alcohol content of 12 percent, which is equal to five or six beers. According

to the “High-Alcohol Energy Drink Sickens More Students” article, “The caffeine in the drink can also suspend the effects of alcohol consumption, allowing a person to consume more than usual.” The combination of alcohol and caffeine drinks first came on the scene about five years ago when high-caffeine energy drinks like Red Bull came onto the market. People began mixing these energy drinks with alcoholic beverages, which lead to the creation of such drinks as Four Loko. Senior Evan Lindley has drunk Four Loko. Lindley said, “I drank it once and I’ll never drink it again. My heart was going to jump out of my chest because of all the caffeine. I felt like a crazy person! Never again.” Washington

Attorney General Rob McKenna is calling for a ban on the alcohol-caffeine drink. McKenna said the reason for the success of such drinks as Four Loko is due to good advertising. McKenna said, “They’re marketed to kids by using fruit flavors that mask the taste of alcohol, and they have such high levels of stimulants that people have no idea how inebriated they really are.” According to the “NJ college ban on boozy energy drinks” article, the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association spokesman Steven Schmidt said there is a lot of concern about the alcohol and caffeine combination drinks. Currently, the federal Food and Drug Administration is looking into the safety of these drinks.

The dangerous combination of alcohol and caffeine drinks At 10:30 a.m. on October 28, 2010, a Public

Safety patrol officer found that someone had destroyed two directional/informational signs in the Nan Altmay-er Place parking lot. At 3:10 a.m. on October 31, 2010, a Public Safety patrol officer found that someone had broken a window glass in the second floor north staircase of Toolen Hall. A work order was submitted to Plant Op-erations to conduct the necessary repairs. At 3:40 p.m. on October 31, 2010, a Public Safety patrol officer found that someone had damaged the Academic Affairs sign that is located at the Lucey Administration Center. The sign was found to have been removed from the wall. The sign was recovered and a work order was submitted to Plant Operations to conduct the necessary repairs. At 3:42 p.m. on November 2, 2010, a student reported that someone had entered his unlocked vehicle which was parked at the New Residence Hall parking lot and removed his vehicle’s radio. The radio was described as a JVC stereo, black in color. The information concerning this incident was forwarded to the Mobile Police Department for follow-up investiga-tion. At 10:30 a.m. on November 6, 2010, a student reported that someone had taken her laptop computer from within her unlocked room at Skip’s Place. The computer was described as a silver Mac Book Pro. The Mobile Police Department is investigating this incident.

Continued from page 1

I spent my weekend in a world of “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.” That is right; my best friend from high school got married this past weekend. It was a classic American wedding, complete with my friend’s dream wedding dress. I don’t know if it has anything to do with the fact that I was raised in the Deep South where tradition rules, but I have always dreamed

of a gorgeous, perfect wedding dress that was made for me. Or, maybe it is because I am addicted to shows like “Say Yes to the Dress,” “Four Weddings” and “Bridezillas.” I just cannot help but be hypnotized by these television shows when they go into the room with the big, white dresses. Having my love for the big, white wedding dress, I would seriously question anyone who would go with any other choice. That is

why I was completely shocked when I ran across an article on CNN.com, titled “Brides buck tradition and ditch the white dress.” In the article, Ariel Meadow Stalling cut up a lime-green dress she found off EBay and paired the lime-green dress with a blue corset. Of course, my immediate reaction would be “why would anyone do that?” “Who would trade a gorgeous, white wedding dress for a used, old prom dress?” Stallings said

on her wedding day she wanted to feel her best, “And that means wanting to wear the color you feel best compliments your skin tone and your hair.” I mean, I can completely sympathize with that, in my opinion, I am one of the palest people in the world. But, I will be the first one signing up for a spray tan when my big day comes along to look my absolute best in my white dress. Although lime-green and blue is

not in every wedding dress designer’s collection, designers are beginning to play with colors that are not traditional. Designers have begun playing with blush, ice blue, gray, latte and red. I mean I can completely understand some reasons for not wearing white, like if you were getting married for a second time and you felt like you have already done the traditional, white wedding dress. In the article, Bridal Consultant

Susan Rogers said a lot of young brides “are just looking for something non-traditional.” But, I can assure you that if I am a young bride I will not be one of those testing the waters of the wedding dress tradition.

‘Tweet’ gains national attention Amongst the random chatter soup of the “where I’m at”, “what I’m doing” and “what I think” of my Twitter news feed, I found some political controversy. One of the people I follow openly admitted that she had an abortion. On top of that, it was a worldwide trending topic. After the shock of her confession wore off, there was something in me that brought a smile to my face about the situation. I just had to applaud such courage. Bravo, I say. Not because I’m pro-life or pro-choice, but because it takes some real gumption to put yourself on the world stage in such a way.

These days, with social media, we can become celebrities in our own right. We can now stand at the spotlight of controversies with a few key strokes.

Her one tweet set off a whirlwind of comments. Followers and non-followers alike were giving her a pretty hard time. I know Alabama is conservative in a lot of political issues, but they were seriously letting her have it.

However, in less than 30 words, she managed to get a reaction out of more people than I ever could just shouting the same thing in a crowded mall.

I admit. She could have found a much more constructive way to express her views

and tell her story. I have to respect the fact that she stood up and did it. The “I had an abortion” trending topic was featured on CNN Monday morning. According to the broadcast, this campaign was started by Steph Herold, a reproductive

justice activist. Herold identifies herself as very pro-choice, but it is not her claim to simply create a one-sided campaign. She wants to end the stigma associated with women who get the procedure in an interview she had with alternet.com. It’s her goal to not only shock people with such a bold statement but to spark debate and initiate a discussion about the topic.

Money is the motive

JASMINE WILLIAMSOp-ed Editor

As a senior, I am constantly bombarded with the dreadful question, “What are you doing after this?” Like I don’t already know that when all “this” is over in May that I am expected to do something. Preferably I’ll get a job or go to graduate school. In a conversation with my roommate recently, she told me that after “this” all she wants to do is make money. Money is everyone’s motive in life. Considering myself to be a minority in a majority of ways, money is not the end goal in my life. First of all, if money was my primary goal, I am definitely in the wrong major. Journalists don’t make that much money to begin with, especially with the economy in the state

that it is in and with news moving to the internet and newspapers drastically downsizing. Growing up in a single parent home, I

grew up knowing firsthand that everyone in the world does not have a lot of money. This isn’t meant to come of as a sob story because I do not

think for a second that my sister or

I missed out on or needed anything. It is just the facts of life and I know what it is like to live pay check to pay check. But money was never our motive. While I would love so much to land a job right after graduation as a reporter in a decent-sizedmarket, I am not sure how realistic that is at this point in my life.

However, if NBC, Fox, ABC or any other news organization offered me a job I would not turn it down. But making a little over $20,000 a year and working crazy hours, money still isn’t my motive. What is my motive, at 21-years-old, I want to accomplish so much in life. You may think I am slightly crazy but one of my lifelong dreams is to shave my head, travel the world, do community service and live the neo-hippie lifestyle that I always felt was for me. I would love to work as a coordinator or director for a company whose mission is service with people who are as passionate as I am. I would love to work for a college whose mission is also service to others. To be able to write and tell a story that people will care about. To impact the

world with something that is so small to us, but so significant to someone else is my dream. To shake the world like Blake Mycoskie and TOMS shoes, but money is not my motive. Does this mean I wish to live in a shack or abandon shopping forever? No. I just don’t define success as money, cars, clothes and you know. My dream is to live like I have always lived, moderately. I dream that one day my mom will worry free of me, that someone else’s life will be impacted simply because I lived, that I may always be surrounded by the unconditional love and support of my family and friends, that I may leave Spring Hill College debt free and that I will not be stalked by Sallie Mae for the rest of my life. While I do need money for most of these things, money is not my motive.

Sometimes, only other people like you understand what you’re going through at any particular moment. That is why we have friends. Your friends make you who you are, they understand you and they even influence your decisions whether you feel like they do or not. Sometimes this is a good thing, sometimes it’s a bad thing. For me, my friends provide a support system away from my family as well as a distraction when I need one (and sometimes when I don’t need one!). According to dictionary.com, the definition of a friend is: “(Noun), a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard.” This describes all of my friendships, does it describe yours? According to cutekid.com article “Good Friendship, Bad Friendship Characteristics,” bad friends will often want everything done their way, acts like they are above you in some way and encourages you to make bad choices.

The article is written for parents to watch out for their children’s developing friendships, but I feel it also applies to adult friendships. Have you ever had that pushy friend that doesn’t want you to do anything that they don’t want to do?

“Good Friendship, Bad Friendship Characteristics” goes on to describe good friendships. Good friends respect your opinion, support you in your activities and make you feel good. Friends should be there to pick you up when you’re down.

That’s what your family does, right? And what else is a friend, but someone who steps in as your family when you are away from home?

EHow published an article titled “How to handle bad friends,” that gives tips on how to avoid bad friendships without terminating the friendship. The first piece of advice is to avoid discussing any issues while you’re angry. Dealing with touchy subjects while either party is angry is generally a bad idea.

Secondly, you should let your friend know that you are not happy with their action(s). You should explain how they hurt you and why you didn’t wish to discuss it immediately.

If you do follow these steps and make amends, don’t hold a grudge against your friend! If you do hold a grudge, obviously something didn’t get solved from your last talk and you need to have another one…or go ahead and hit that big red ‘terminate’ button.

Goodmorningandgoodnight.com has one of my favorite quotes on friendship, written by Ed Cunningham. “Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer.”

ALICIA BARBOURLife and Culture Editor

What kind of friends do you have? She believes the controversy over

abortion isn’t as dually divided as people would make it seem. There are many things that are taken into consideration for reasons people choose to abort or not.

This campaign comes in light of the results of the recent midterm elections. With Republicans taking the House and many governor’s seats will “chip away at abortion rights” according to the CNN report. Therefore, she started this campaign in order to create discussion about such a tough topic, and I think we all can take a few notes from Herold’s playbook. Especially here in Alabama, we like to hold our tongues at times to keep from ruffling a few feathers. How do we expect anything happen if we’re not expressing our views? I’m not one to condone recklessly posting anything so drastic in a status update or a tweet. But let this act show that, there are people who pay attention to what we put up on these websites. Social media isn’t just for catching up with old friends. It’s literally a marketplace of ideas where, if you browse long enough, you can find something that you don’t like or like for that matter.

ALICIA BARBOURLife and Culture Editor Sophomore Danny Zekert spent part of his summer apprenticing under pop artist, Marcos Marin.

Zekert got the op-portunity while he was in Miami this summer, at a gallery for an internship. “I received the opportuni-ty when I was working at my internship in Miami, where I stayed with Mikey Bustamante. Marcos was in Miami for a show and came into the gallery where my internship was. I was able to hang out with him all day; we went to lunch and I helped him transport paintings. While at lunch, he mentioned an upcoming show in Lisbon, Portugal and said that he had a lot of work that needed to be done. At this point, I half-jokingly said, ‘If you need help, I’m your guy.’ He responded ‘Dan, I like that, you come work for me in France in July.’ I called my dad and we dis-cussed the possibility and

decided that it was an op-portunity of a lifetime and that I would be receiving so much experience art-wise that I would be a fool to turn it down. So I booked my flight and ar-ranged the details.”

During his nearly five-week apprenticeship, Zekert spent most of his time in Lacoste, France. He also spent five days in Lisbon, Portugal. Zekert described an average day in Lacoste, “I would wake up every day and go to the local bakery and buy breakfast for my boss. Then we would figure out what we were going to do that day as far as a plan. I would measure, prepare the canvas, build the frame, stretch and staple the canvas accord-ing to his needs. While we didn’t produce every single day, we consistent-ly produced.”

“A big part of art business is who you know,” said Zekert. “While in Lacoste, Pierre Cardin, my boss’ benefac-

tor was holding a festival for Lacoste. So my days consisted of work and

my nights consisted of going to events.” Zekert attended events such as

the Opera, plays and bal-let performances while in Lacoste.

Zekert also found himself traveling to many other places in France on errands for Marin as part of his apprenticeship. He visited places such as Marseille, Lacoste, Paris, Montecarlo, Barcelona, Madrid and Lisbon during his apprenticeship.

Back at Spring Hill, Zekert plans to de-clare his major as Art. He is a member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity and acts as the PR Chair.

He is from Saint Louis and attended DeS-met Jesuit High School.

“Before I gradu-ate, I want to lower my handicap in golf and crash a wedding,” said Zekert. However, after college, Zekert is not sure of his plans. “I definitely want to do something I can be creative in, but not be constricted by a tradi-tional job setting. I know I don’t want to be a politi-cian.”

DEMARCO WILLSCo Editor-in-Chief The solution to getting those first 100 pages written for your novel could be solved this November. At 12:01 a.m. No-vember 1st, participants in the National Novel Writing Month, better known as ‘NaNo’, ac-cepted the month long celebration’s 50,000 word challenge. This challenge asks writers to simply just write a novel: no rereads or no revisions. Writers are given the strenuous task of writ-ing 175 pages, which is 50,000 words, or more by November’s end. According to NaNo’s website nanow-rimo.com, this exer-cise “values enthusi-asm and perseverance over painstaking craft, NaNoWriMo is a novel-writing program for ev-eryone who has thought fleetingly about writing a novel but has been scared away by the time and effort involved.” Because of the November 30th dead-line and the strenuous task of writing 50,000 words, the process of rereading and editing would consume too much time. The creators of this celebration encour-age mistakes to be made in order for authors to focus more on the plots and characters of their novel, but to meet the deadline most impor-tantly. NaNo started 11 years ago in 1999 by Chris Baty, an aspiring novelist at the time.

JACOB BROWNINGNews Editor Many people see Dr. Neil Hamilton as the eccentric history teacher, or that guy with the long cornrows. There is much more than meets the eye with Hamilton. He was born in “New York City, New York, at a time when computers weren’t even a gleam in Bill Gates’ eyes.” As a child he attended reform school where, Hamilton said, “I would be lucky to see my parents once a week.” Then “it was on to North Miami High, home of the fighting Pioneers. Then it was to the University of Miami, home of the fighting Hurricanes. Every school I went to it was the ‘fighting’ team; Fighting ‘Canes, fighting Badgers, fighting Vols for a while because I

got my doctorate at the University of Tennessee,” said Hamilton.

of community colleges including Brevard State Community College, home of the “Fighting Titans.” Hamilton has authored a dozen books on subjects ranging from baseball to scientific explorers, though he has trouble naming a favorite. More recently, Hamilton has become known for his hairstyle and range of tattoos. “Where do I get it done? My wife does it, actually. She’s a very good cook, a very good hairstylist and sometimes she’ll do the hair while she’s cooking. That’s why sometimes my hair is a little redder, because you got that pasta sauce in there,” said Hamilton. His tattoos are more than skin deep; to Hamilton they represent symbols of his life.

“I wanted to pay tribute to my days in Miami. Another pays tribute to when I was into Oriental Philosophy. They pay tribute to different stages in my life. I didn’t get one for my reform school years,” explained Hamilton. Hamilton can be found supporting the Delta Alpha Chi’s. Sometimes a very loud exclamation of “What about David Allan Coe?” can be heard echoing across campus, this is probably Hamilton. Delta Alpha Chi is an organization celebrating the music of country artist David

Allan Coe. When asked what David Allan Coe is about, Hamilton quickly responded. “David Allan Coe is a man who was and in many ways still is at the cutting edge of outlaw country music and has been completely screwed by the Nashville establishment and he needs respect. I am proud to be affiliated with Delta Alpha Chi on campus,” said Hamilton. “I am, so to speak, the faculty advisor to Delta Alpha Chi, which is the largest fraternity on campus. We had 35 turn out to our membership drive last spring,” explained Hamilton.

History teacher speaks on his life experiences

ALICIA BARBOURLife and Culture Editor With the holidays (Thanksgiving and Christmas) fast approaching, students who want to fly home for the holidays in the cheapest way possible should begin thinking about purchasing their plane tickets. Aswetravel.com encourages travelers to book their flights well in advance, but last minute plane tickets can also come fairly cheap. “When flying with national airlines, it’s nearly always cheaper the earlier you book. Buying last minute tickets are another way of finding cheap deals. However, last minute deals are never quite ‘last minute.’ In fact, if you wait for too long they most likely raise

Tips on booking flightsthe price again as they know someone will always be willing to pay a higher price. You can actually find last minute tickets more than two weeks before the trip, so start looking earlier.”

Junior Ellen Broad gave this advice on booking plane tickets, “I usually book my flights a month and a half in advance. Usually the prices are around $280 dollars, but this year I was late and my tickets were about $500 for Thanksgiving. It’s best to try to fly on weekdays, if you’re a frequent (expert) traveler, like myself, I would suggest signing Sky Miles or a mileage program to reap the benefits.” Broad uses

It began in the San Fran-cisco bay area and was originally scheduled to take place in July but was changed to November in 2000 in order to take advantage of dreary weather. In its fi rst year, there were only 21 participants, but this number has jumped well beyond that considering the total number of words written totals over seven million according to nanowrimo.com With taking the challenge, Baty wants people to learn that writing is not an isolating experi-ence and encour-ages them to get their friends in-volved in NaNo. “As you spend November writing, you can draw comfort from the fact that, all around the world, other National Novel Writ-ing Month participants are going through the same joys and sor-rows of producing the Great Fran-tic Novel. People meet throughout the month to offer encourage-ment, commiseration, and the kind of raucous celebrations that tend to frighten animals and small children,” Baty said on the NaNo website. NaNo sponsors its “Come

Write In” program which hosts places where writers can come in, socialize with other participants and work on their novels as well. Also, there is a NaNo club representing Mobile and Baldwin county area that is affi liated with the offi cial NaNo organization. The regions site didn’t mention any upcoming events at this time. Participants are to sign up on the NaNo offi cial website, nanowrimo.com. From there, you receive an email that verifi es the account and users need to affi liate with a specifi c region. If someone reaches the

50,000 word count by No-vember 30th, winners re-ceive a certifi -cate and a web badge verify-

ing they completed the badge. The prize may seem insig-nifi cant, but Baty believes there is something more to gain. “To actively participate in one of our era’s most enchanting art forms! To write without hav-ing to obsess over quality. To be able to make obscure references to passages from our novels at parties. To be able to mock real novelists who dawdle on and on, taking far longer than 30 days to produce their work,” Baty said.

NaNo program encourages aspiring writers

This challenge asks writers to simply just write a novel: no rereads or no revisions. Writers are given the strenuous task of writ-ing 175 pages, which is 50,000 words, or more by November’s end.

Student ReactionHow do you keep your energy levels up during fi nals?

“I go on long runs be-cause it keeps my en-dorphins up. I get crazy amounts of energy from working out in massive amounts. Also drinking lots of water is impor-tant to stay hydrated and keep my brain working.”

- Emily LandrieuSenior

“When I get super stressed, I dance around

my room and sing and try to burn off some ner-vous energy. It helps me

get out my frustration from lots of studying.”

“I take a nap; just a quick 15 or 20 minutes can rejuvenate me and

give me the energy I need to fi nish that last

cram study session.”

If you have flexible travel dates, you can usually get cheaper tickets, according to Life123.com article “How to Get the Best Airfare.” “If you have strict restrictions on the dates you can travel, you probably won’t get the best airfare you could have if your travel dates were flexible. If you can keep your travel plans flexible and depart or return even one day earlier or later than your original plans, you’ll increase your chances of getting a better airfare deal by staying outside peak travel times,” reads the website. The website goes on to insist that booking ahead will get you cheaper travel tickets.

“Another strategy to help you get the best airfare is being willing to fly early or late in the day. The first

Holiday flights can come cheapand last flights of the day tend to be the least popular and yield the best price as a result. If you’re willing to get up early and/or get home late, booking these flight times can get you the best airfare when have other limitations, like strict travel dates,” continues the website’s advice.

There is good news if you purchase a ticket at what you think is a low price and then notice that the price has fallen even farther. “Many major domestic airlines include a guarantee in the fine print of your ticket; if you purchase your airfare and the price drops for the exact same itinerary-the dates for travel must match your original dates-the airline, upon request, will issue a price-difference voucher that can be applied to future airfare purchases with the airline,” reads “How to Get the Best Airfare.”

Continued from page 8 JASMINE WILLIAMSOp-ed Editor Spring Hill College senior James Hay joined the reigns of activists standing against bullying when he hosted the “Bully and Teasing Prevention” week Oct.25-28. Hay hasn’t stopped there though. In an interview this past week with Fox 10’s Lenise Ligon, Hay discussed plans for continuing the fight against bullying. In high school, Hay had given similar talks about bullying, but after the suicide of Rutger’s University freshman Tyler Clementi and other students in the month of September and October, Hay knew it was time for him to once again speak out. While slightly apprehensive about the outcome of his talk, “Face YOUR Fear: Speaking Out Against Bullying” on Oct. 25, Hay stood by the belief that anyone who accomplished anything great did not do so in silence. The standing ovation Hay received following his talk proved this to be true. But is there more greatness to be achieved? “The week was huge!” Hay explains. “We handed out about 300 blue ribbons and had about the same amount of signatures on the pledge.” Hay was not prepared for

what came next. “I was contacted by John Kerr saying that Fox 10 was interested in doing a story on bullying and heard about my talk. I was shocked. I just couldn’t believe something I had done was gaining so much attention.” But Hay does not plan on stopping here. “I have been sitting down with Margarita Perez about future plans of doing some small things in the course of the semester. I do not plan on stopping here. I just hope someone feels inspired enough to continue this.”

For Hay’s local fame, he says “Lenise was amazing.

She’s so fierce and I love her. She was great and she really seems to care about social injustice.”

As far as Hay’s worries about backlash after his talk, they were just that, worries. “I just really want to thank everyone for all of the help, support and interest.” Hay said, “It would have been impossible without them.” According to Hay, the bullying segment will air on Fox 10 News on November 16th at 9 p.m. and he hopes this won’t be the last people hear from him. Hay says “It has fueled my drive and ambition to go to law school and fight for social justice.”

AMANDA HYMELPhotography/Sports Editor LSU and Bama will always be long time rivals, but for the 2010 season, LSU has been given bragging rights af-ter a close 24-21 victory. LSU is known for its strong defense, but of-fense showed its capabil-ities also with 433 yards against Alabama. The game was neck and neck up until the very end, but the Tigers left the stadi-um roaring with victory. LSU has been struggling with quarterbacks lately, but Jordan Jefferson

decide to peak during one of the most thrilling games for LSU this year. Jefferson threw a beauti-ful 75-yard touchdown pass to Rueben Randle in the third quarter for a 10-7 lead. Randle had another huge play when he hauled in a 47-yard pass on a third down. The game changer for the Tigers came in the fourth quarter, however when ‘Bama was leading LSU 14-13. The Tigers faced a fourth and one situation and DeAngelo Peterson made a 23-yard gain, getting

the first down and then some. Steven Ridley made the score 19-14 when he scored a touch-down driven from Pe-terson. The Tigers made a gutsy call and decided to go for the two-point conversion that ended up being the best decision they could ever make. The score was now 21-14. Greg McElroy for Alabama was a little shaky this past Saturday night, throwing a pick and losing a crucial fum-ble. The Tigers were also able to quiet down Ala-bama’s key player, Mark

Ingram who was not that impressive. LSU head coach Les Miles has most prob-ably knocked out Alabama from hopes of winning a consecu-tive National Champion-ship with this being the second loss of the season for ‘Bama. LSU will have to lose twice and Georgia will have to beat Auburn for the Roll Tide to have

a shot at the title. LSU plays ULM at 6 p.m. on Nov. 13 while Alabama plays Missis-sippi State at 6:15 p.m on ESPN2.

AMANDA HYMELPhotography/Sports Editor The New Orleans Saints plowed the Caro-lina Panthers 34-3 this past Sunday at Bank of America stadium. Drew Brees tallied a great 253 passing yards with two touchdowns. The beginning of the game was filled with mixed emotions from Saints fans during the first couple of plays. Julius Jones made a 54-yard run on the very first play and things were looking promising from the Carolina 26 yard line. The Saints made a first down with ease, but Brees was unbalanced with one of his throws, and the ball found itself in the hands of Carolina Panther Richard Mar-shall. Opportunity was knocking hard at Caro-lina’s door and Marshall sprinted 66 yards the opposite direction. The Saint’s defense cleaned up the mess and kept the Panthers to a 20-yard

field goal by John Kasay. The Panthers made the first strike and the Saints couldn’t respond when given the ball after the field goal. New Orleans was forced to punt on its next pos-session, but the Saints were given another chance sooner than they thought. On the punt return, run-ning back Jonathan Stewart fumbled caused by a raging Darren Sharper hit. The Saints recov-ered the loose ball on the Carolina 27. The first injury of the game was on Stewart as he was taken to the locker room with a head injury.Opportunity was now pounding at the Saints’ door and Brees led his team to a 7-3 lead. Af-ter the turnover, Brees connected with Jeremy Shockey for a 7-yard touchdown on third and goal. The next injury

on the list was Shockey who did not return to the game after a hard hit by Charles Godfrey. The Panthers put Kasay to work once again and the kicker at-tempted a 40-yard field

goal in order to close the gap between the winning Saints. Kasay missed his mark, but the Saints could not score either on their possession.With an already strug-gling offense, the Pan-thers suffered a signifi-cant loss when Sedrick Ellis sacked Matt Moore,

causing an injury to the quarterback’s throwing shoulder. Clausen came into the game to fill in for Moore, but was un-able to cause any dam-age to the Saint’s defense and produce successful

drives.With 2:49 left in the game, Drew Brees threw a 19-yard touchdown to rookie Jimmy Graham, mak-ing the score 14-3 in the favor of New Orleans. Right be-fore time expired for the first half, Garrett Hartley made an ap-pearance and kicked a successful 31-yard field goal, pushing the lead to 17-3.

In the third quar-ter, Hartley proved his consistency with a 36-yard field goal after a11-play drive. The Saint’s defense showed versatili-ty when Jabari Greer had a 24-yard interception return for a touchdown off a pass intended to Dante Rosario. This was

the Saint’s first defensive score of the 2010 season.After another failed at-tempt by the Panthers to make their way down to Saints’ territory, Ladell Betts finalized a 52-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown as he leaped into the end zone for a 34-3 lead. In the contest against the Panthers, the three points scored against New Orleans were the fewest given up by the Saints since the win against the Oak-land Raiders in 2008. Louisiana native, Brooke Turlich, commented on the game and said, “Hopefully we can roll with this win and show everyone why we are the defending Super Bowl champs.” The Saints are now 6-3 and have a bye game this week-end. Drew and the crew play home at 3:05 p.m. against the Seattle Se-ahawks (4-4) on Novem-ber 21.

AMANDA HYMELPhotography/Sports Editor The volleyball team is now the undis-puted SSAC West Divi-sion Champions after wiping out University of Mobile and clearing out Belhaven University. Both matches had a 3-0 decision in the favor of the Lady Badgers. Last Thursday, Spring Hill College rammed the Mobile Rams down with all three matches won (25-8, 25-13, 25-12) at the Arthur R. Outlaw Recre-ation Center. Right side hitter Yiting Cao easily scored 18 points for the night and recorded 16 kills, building an at-

tack percentage of .379. Freshman setter Taryn Nash had 29 assists out of a total of 32. Nash also dug deep literally and totaled eight digs for the Badgers. Out of the 75 points scored against the Rams, SHC scored 45 of them from an astonishing 37 kills and five aces. Defensively, the Lady Badgers came up with 37 assists and three blocks that de-nied the Rams from victory. University of Mobile committed 27 errors, tallying a -.066 attack percentage. With dreams of clinching the Division Title, the Lady Badgers

made it a waking real-ity when the team swept Belhaven University 3-0 (25-17, 25-21, 27-25)

this past Saturday. Cao decided to take it further than the Mobile match and delivered 20 kills com-pared to her 16. Cao also had two service aces to go along with 14 receptions. A duo of freshmen helped the team out also. Taryn Nash distributed 29 of 35 assists while Mer-edith Donald had 11 digs and 14 receptions.On this past Saturday, the team managed 46 kills, leading to a .370

attack percentage. The Lady Badgers also had seven aces and 37 digs. The girls are now the top seeded team from the West Divi-

sion with an impres-sive record (25-4, 7-1 SSAC). Senior Megan Hammond is very im-pressed with the vol-leyball team’s successes. Hammond states, “I’m very proud. The team has come very far from where they were when I was a freshman. If they continue playing well together, I think they have a shot [at Nation-als]”. These fierce Bad-gers kick off the 2010 SSAC Championship Tournament when they play the East Division’s No. 4 seed Columbia College (15-13, 4-6 SSAC) in Gulfport, Miss. this Friday at 1:15 p.m.

The Spring Hill Col-lege men’s basketball team opened the 2010-11 season on Friday night with a thrilling 82-80 win over visiting Voor-hees College at the Arthur R. Outlaw Recreation Center. Spring Hill led by 10 with 1:43 remaining, but a furious comeback attempt by Voorhees (1-1) cut the Badger’s advantage to just 81-80 with 9 seconds on the clock. Junior Rico Dread of Jackson, Ala., made it 82-80 with 1-of -2 free throws with 7 seconds showing. The Tigers’ Sam Dotson missed a game-tying attempt, but Badger junior Tyler Schwab of Panama City, Fla., missed both his free throws on the other end with only to recover his own re-bound and return to line with 2 seconds remaining. A final heave by Voorhees fell short as time expired. Senior center Nick Brown scored 25 points for

SHC with nine rebounds while junior Steve Edwards of Newton, Miss., scored 15 points and freshman Brandon Blake of Oxford, Miss. added 11 points. Freshman Alex Looney of Mobile’s Murphy High had 10 points as did junior Kyle Watkins of Mont-gomery, Ala. Overall, SHC shot 27-of-62 (43.5%) from the field and 7-of-19 (36.8%) from 3-point range while Voorhees managed to shoot 43.1% (31-72) from the field. The Badgers out rebounded the Tigers 48 to 40 on the boards. The Spring Hill Col-lege men’s basketball team fell to the Dillard University Bleu Devils 78-72 on Mon-day night at Dent Hall. The Badgers fell behind early at 6-1 and were force to spend much of the first half trying to catch the Bleu Devils, but Spring Hill finally managed to grab a 28-27 lead with two free throws by senior center

Nick Brown of Rota, Spain, at 3:49 remaining. Tied at 35 going into the halftime intermission, the Badgers and the Bleu Devils came out of the locker rooms and immediately resumed the back-and-forth style of the first half as the teams traded baskets for the first 12 points of the period for a 41-41 dead-lock at the 17:13 mark. An 8-1 run over the next four minutes gave Dil-lard a 49-42 lead, but SHC responded with two field goals by freshman Brandon Blake of Oxford, Miss., to cut the deficit to just 52-48 with 11:40 left on the board. Trailing by four, 63-59, at 4:42, junior Kyle Watkins of Montgomery, Ala., knotted the score at 63 by converting a 4-point play with a 3-point basket and foul shot and then Watkins put the Badgers ahead 30 seconds later at 68-65 with a 3-point play off a basket and foul.

Junior Steve Ed-wards from Newton, Miss., stretched the lead to five points at 3:27 with an assist by Blake to make it 70-65 in favor of the visitors. Dillard cut the lead to 70-69, but a defensive re-bound followed with two free throws by Edwards made it 72-69 at 1:28. The Bleu Devils would cut it back to 72-71 and then Lawrence Etah took a steal away from Watkins and hit 1-of-2 free throws to tie the match at 72 with 1:02 showing. Freshman forward Alex Looney from Mobile’s Murphy High was called for an offensive foul with 56 seconds left that led to a basket by Kenyon Harper on the other end as Dillard took a 74-72 lead with 33 seconds left. Dillard then won pos-session of a loose ball with 13 seconds on the clock and Dillard’s Jermille Fluker made both free throws to

make it a 76-72 score. Blake put 25 points in the baskets for Spring Hill while Brown scored his first double-double of the year with 21 points with 11 re-bounds. Watkins contributed 14 points to the Badger cause. Myron McGowen led four Dil-lard players in double digits with 16 points. As a team, the Bad-gers shot 42.9% (24-56) and 17.7% (3-17) from 3-point territory, but committed 18 turnovers in the face of 11 steals by Dillard’s defense and allowed a crucial 21 points off turnovers. Spring Hill did, however, win the rebound-ing battle 44-36 under the boards. Dillard was 39.4% overall from the field and 40% (8-20) in 3-point shots. Spring Hill (1-1) will next play an exhibition game at the University of South Alabama at the Mitchell Center on Friday at 7:05 p.m.
