Nursing major presented

GRACE DUNKLIN Staff Reporter The Berry Office of Admissions joined forces with the new nursing faculty on Sunday to present the first of several informative events about the new nursing major. Since the events take place in the lobby of the admissions office, attendance has been kept small and RSVP only. Eleven interested students and family members gathered for the first meeting, with increasing numbers expected for the other events, said Starr Boylan, Senior Admissions Counselor of the admissions office. Dean and Professor of Nursing Vanice Roberts, and two other nursing faculty, Visiting Lecturer Ann Hook and Visiting Assistant Professor Pam Dunagan were speakers at the event, which was structured as an open discussion forum. Hook said the goal of the informational event was to educate the community and those that are interested in the nursing program and to answer any questions that they might have. Boylan spoke briefly on the ways in which applying for the nursing program will differ from other majors on campus. Boylan said that, unlike other majors where you enter the department when you enter school, the nursing program will have to be applied to separately from Berry itself. Students intending to enter the program will have to apply the second semester of their sophomore year. In addition, they will not be applying via the normal admissions process, but to the School of Nursing itself. Roberts showed the prospective students the floor plans for the area that will become the nursing classrooms, a 6,000 square foot section of second floor Evans Hall. Not only are there classrooms and offices, but there will also be simulation rooms for the students to practice in a real world environment. As we develop this [program], we are looking at what is missing [from other programs] and why that is missing, and how can we create a learning process that uses simulation and clinical experience to fill those gaps that are notoriously seen in nursing programs, Dunagan said. She said the best part about building a program from scratch is that they can build the program the way they want it to be instead of altering an already existing program. We are working really hard to be current and cutting edge in the way we teach our nursing students

so when they go out in this ever-evolving healthcare system they are ready to anticipate what is ahead, Hook said. Students in the nursing program will be expected to use an iPad or an iPad Mini for their textbooks and homework. Hook said this decision stemmed from the fact that in real-world, technology is the number one method that is used to keep healthcare safe, so we have got to integrate it into [the students] learning. Apart from the technology, the nursing program is also doing some of its classes in a different manner. In addition to four solid semesters of nothing but nursing classes, students will be expected to go on a cultural immersion trip. For now, the trip will take place in Costa Rica, but Bulgaria may be a second option, said Dunagan. Roberts said the nursing program will be accepting 32 students the first year and hopefully raise that number over the next few following years. Prospective students will be able to apply between April and July 2013, with the first class starting the program in Spring 2014, with anticipated graduation in May 2015. More information about the nursing program can be found at their site via the main Berry site as well as on an information brochure available in the Office of Admissions.

Spiritual guidance explored

CAROLINE CLAFFEY Deputy News Editor Director of the Counseling Center Marshall Jenkins discussed spiritual guidance in a presentation he gave Monday night called Discerning Gods Will Together: Spiritual Guidance in the Christian Tradition. Jenkins said spiritual guidance is a practice in which people wishing to deepen their relationship with God seek the direction of a spiritual guide, a spiritual person who wants to assist others in achieving that goal. In 2012, Jenkins received the Certificate in Christian Spiritual Guidance from Shalem Institute in Washington, D.C. In addition, he has been Director of Berrys Counseling Center since 1987. He received his bachelor of arts degree in philosophy from Davidson College in 1980 and his Ph.D. in counseling psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1986, according to his bio on Berrys Counseling Center web page. Before beginning, Jenkins assured his audience that his presentation was not meant to be religiously presumptuous. Im going to address this to you as if you are all of the Christian tradition, Jenkins said. But Im not going to assume that you are. Jenkins began by passing out index cards and asking audience members to write down the following: a decision facing them, three things about the day that made them grateful, a moment during the day that felt holy and a moment when they felt disconnected. Jenkins said this exercises purpose was to get a feel for spiritual guidance. Take a look at your decision, close your eyes and be aware that youre in Gods presence, Jenkins said. Knowing that, dont try to make or analyze that decision. Just concentrate on the awareness of the decision and His presence. Jenkins went on to discuss some of the things people commonly want out of spiritual guidance, such as a more intentional life of faith, a more intimate relationship with God or a source for deepening prayer and spiritual practices. One popular desirethe discernment of Gods will and call in their livesJenkins said was applicable to his audience members. Youre at a time in your lives, as college students, of transition, Jenkins said. Jenkins then talked about the differences between spiritual guidance and psychotherapy. Jenkins said spiritual guidance is a threeway conversation between the Holy Spirit, the spiritual guide and the person seeking guidance, while psychotherapy is a dialogue between the patient and the therapist. Whereas psychotherapy pays attention to the patients problems and resources, spiritual guidance focuses on the persons experience with God, Jenkins said, and spiritual guidance is grounded in the Christian tradition and community while psychotherapy is grounded in the medical model or humanism. Jenkins said a good spiritual guide is someone who has a humble deference to the Holy Spirit. Youre looking for someone whos willing to pause a conversation and take a minute to listen to God, Jenkins said. He also said a good guide will be one who listens to both God and the person seeking guidance, and that rather than giving directions, a good guide will point directions. Theyll suggest possible angles based on your experience with God, Jenkins said. You dont want a know-it-all for a guide. Jenkins said that while spiritual guidance and psychotherapy are different, one would want a guide who is psychologically sensitive. Its not psychotherapy, Jenkins said, but at the same time, you want someone whos pretty psychologically self-aware and sensitive to whats going on with you psychologically. In his presentation Jenkins also talked about the history and foundation of spiritual guidance and offered quotes of Scripture, calling particular attention to Philippians 1:9-11. I love this prayer, Jenkins said. I often start my prayer with this passage. Notice how love leads to insight. In college, its your brain that does it, but in Christianity, you get to the truth through love. Thats a powerful thing. Jenkins told audience members that while spiritual practice is often defined as prayer or scripture, it is a flexible activity that can be performed anytime and by anyone. Spiritual practice is whatever you do to open your heart to God, Jenkins said.

Berry hosts walk to fight multiple sclerosis

PAUL WATSON News Editor Berry walked to create a world free of MS as it hosted the Rome Chapter of Walk MS (multiple sclerosis) on Saturday. About 130 participants preregistered for the walk, and over 100 participants registered on site, said Maci Jo Roberts, coordinator for the Rome Chapter. She said 19 teams registered to participate and fundraise in the walk, but individuals were also encouraged to participate. As of Wednesday morning, the Rome Chapter had raised $5,925, but funds will continue to be raised until July 1. Roberts there were a few reasons that Berry was chosen to host the walk. Berry has been a supporter [of Walk MS] for a couple of years, Roberts said. This is a beautiful campus, and the event staff here is so welcoming. Roberts, a senior at Shorter University, said leading Walk MS is a great experience. I will graduate in May with a degree in Organizational Communication, she said. Ive invested in working with non-profits; Walk MS has a huge impact on the community. One member of the community, Bersi Orellana, who works for the Rome Suzuki plant, said there are many benefits of participating in Walk MS. [The MS Walk] is very interesting because if you do have MS, your bones regenerate with walking, Orellana said. So, even the walking itself is helping women. Orellana said this is her first time participating in the walk. She said her paternal grandmother died from MS, inspiring her to become

Alumni couple hosts Berry math students place third at Winthrop poetry reading
CAROLINE CLAFFEY Deputy News Editor Berry alumni Alex Quinlan and Catherine Meeks presented a creative reading of their unique works Monday night. In addition to being alumni, Quinlan and Meeks are a married couple who met while they were students at Berry. Quinlan is currently a visiting assistant professor of English Rhetoric and Writing at Berry, and Meeks is a lecturer of rhetoric and composition at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. While at Berry, Quinlan double majored in English and Philosophy and minored, in his own words, in coffee and cigarettes. On Monday night he read poetry from his in-progress manuscript. Meeks read an excerpt from the novel she is currently writing as well. Quinlan asked for audience participation for a project he is currently working on. For the last nine months or so, Ive been working on a poem called Secrets and Lies, Quinlan said. He then showed the audience two boxesone labeled Secrets and one labeled Liesand handed out two blank slips of paper to each audience member. He asked that each person write a secret on one and a lie on the other and that they deposit their slips into their respective boxes before leaving. After explaining the exercise, he read the draft of the in-progress Secrets and Lies. After their reading, Quinlan and Meeks welcomed questions from the audience. They talked about what it is like to be two married writers, from where they draw their inspirations, and what they remember about being a student at Berry. FROM STAFF REPORTS The Berry team of seniors Anna Chan, Justin Lyle, Aaron Ostrander and Milo Taylor placed third in the Mathematics Jeopardy! competition at the 94th meeting of the Southeastern Section of the Mathematical Association of America. The contest was held last week at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, S.C. Berry won its first and second round games and then finished behind Davidson College and Lenoir-Rhyne University and ahead of Georgia Regents in the final game. This is the third year in a row that Berry has made it to the final round, a first for any school in the Southeastern Section of the MAA. According to its website, the MAA strives to be the leading professional association in collegiate mathematics, the preeminent provider of expository mathematics, the primary and best source for professional development programs for faculty, and the number one provider of resources for teaching and learning. Sophomore Kenneth Russ was on the team as an alternate.

Berrys Taylor Swift parody

Most of us received an email last Monday, March 3 with an encouragement to watch a video filmed at Berry featuring dozens of Berrys students, faculty and staff members. The email provided a link to Berrys parody of Taylor Swifts recent video for her single, I Knew You Were Trouble. The email came from the Office of Public Relations at Berry and therefore, presumably, the video is meant to at least in some way represent Berry to the public, including prospective students and potential employers of Berry graduates. The video itself was quirky and entertaining, and the visual quality was actually quite impressive. The cinematography was well done, and if it was at times slightly corny, the dancing, singing professors tipped the scales in favor of the videos entertainment value. The audio, on the other hand, was less commendable. The talent of Berry singers or producers is not in doubt here, only the reach of the resources that they have access to for the purpose of vocal recordings. Taylor Swift cannot sing her song without substantial auto-tuning and electronic doctoring. Prospective music students looking into Berry may not be favorably impressed when they Google the school and discover the audio quality of this video. Thinking about the effect of this video on prospective students leads us to consider how it represents Berry, not as primarily a fun place, but as an educational institution. As such it may not adequately represent graduating Berry students. Students applying to graduate schools, internships and jobs will confess in interviews and rsums that they graduated from Berry, and that potential employer or educator may look up Berry online. And if they do that, the first thing they see may very well be a video that does a pretty good job of depicting Berry as a fun, beautiful place to be. They may not, however, so readily find something that represents the academic rigor and intellectual effort that Berry graduates invested in their education. The video is certainly cute and well done. It may even do its job of attracting prospective students who will appreciate the accessible faculty, beautiful campus and lightheartedness presented in the video. It probably does not, however, present an appropriately scholarly version of Berry that is equally true of the institution and very important for its students who intend to craft impressive rsums based on their time at Berry.

Deception in reality television

PARKER SEALY Photo Editor Reality shows. The term puts a bad taste in peoples mouths. What stems from the idea of reality and getting to know someones life as it is, unscripted, has now become this term that means bad writing, fake people and guilty pleasure entertainment. We have Keeping Up With the Kardashians (and their 500 other spin-off shows), Jersey Shore (and their one spin-off) and Laguna Beach (and its two spin-offs). Dont forget the competitive shows such as American Idol, Survivor, The Voice, every dating show ever to exist (there are literally hundreds) and Americas Next Top Model. Now while some of the cattiness that goes on may be real, for the most part we know that there is some element of fakeness on the shows. One element is done in post-production. Editing can lead an audience to feel a certain way at the expense of the participants and it is all in order to please a specific target audience. There is one show that I am thinking of in particular: the one, the only, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. This show was a spin-off of an episode of Toddlers and Tiaras. On Toddlers and Tiaras, tons of little girls (and sometimes guys) compete to be crowned (probably so their mothers can live out their glory days) while also winning money. On this one particular episode, a young, spunky Micah Bhachech Opinions Editor Ryder McEntyre Graphics Editor Emily Faulkner Entertainment Editor Caroline Claffey Deputy News Editor Olivia Brown Asst. Features Editor Christian Turner Asst. Photo Editor Olivia Donnally Asst. Sports Editor Jordyn Hebert Asst. Online Editor kid was in the competition. Her name was Alana Thompson, aka Honey Boo Boo. Because she was a little different (OK, a lot different) than her competitors, people loved her and she got her own show. This show, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, follows Alana and her family as they help Alana improve her pageant skills. The show also documents her familys actions. The problem is, the show decided that in order to get a following, they needed to not just show the life of this adorable 7 year-old but to treat her as white trash and get everyone making fun of her family. I have watched most of the shows (which I doubt those that mock her actually have seen) and while she gets more adorable every episode, the editing gets worse. The opening B-roll of one of the episodes was a sign on the highway stating Keep Georgia Clean, then another shot of trash on the highway and litter. This shot was not at their house. This was on the side of the road. Without anyone realizing it, TLC just shared their opinion of this family. They called them white trash. This may seem like a stretch to you but the show isnt about how people in Georgia just dont care enough not to litter. The show is about this family. One of the episodes I remember most clearly depicts Alanas seventh birthday party. Everyone came to her house to celebrate. There were inflatables and food and a giant cake made specifically for Alana. When the interviews started, all anyone could talk about was food. They began to show all of the food. In the background, the music was similar to the Jaws theme. I was assuming they were trying to make the point that all they do is eat, so obviously they will be like sharks attacking humans when it is time to eat. That doesnt make any sense to me. First of all, the sandwiches looked like they were from Fresh Air Barbecue, which is a barbecue place located in middle Georgia, specifically places like Macon or Warner Robins. This would make sense because she lives about 30 minutes from my house (in Macon). All I am saying is that if someone brought Fresh Air to my birthday party, I would not even wait for permission to eat. I would eat about three within the first hour of my party. I hope you dont all of a sudden think less of me. Another part was when Alana was eating; they went in for an interview. She tried talking, and then asked if they would wait while she finished. They did wait. But they kept the cameras rolling and documented the wait. This had nothing to do with the sentence she later said. This was just an attempt to have a good laugh. Well, I hope youre happy. She is seven and eating the greatest barbecue in the world. I am not saying that the show is good. It is horrible. The family, however, is great, and does not care what other people think. I am sorry that you dont see yourself in the family and Alana isnt the perfect pageant girl, but they have taught me that you can be whoever you want to be as long as you have love from your family. Who really needs anything else?

Nutrition in D-Hall
STEVEN EVANS Sports Editor Last semester I wrote an editorial concerning the declining quality of the food served to students, faculty/staff and visitors alike in the dining hall, better known as D-Hall to many. This time around I would like to begin by apologizing to any workers in the dining hall who may have taken offense to my claims. I understand that many fulltime employees and student workers in D-Hall commit much of their time and effort in order to supply Berry with dining options. I never intended to downplay the hard work of the employees of the dining hall with my comments. The reality is, despite the hard work put into food services, the versatility and quality of the dining hall is still not exactly where it should be. That being said, I would like to commend those at Aramark who have heard the voices of the students and faculty who have written complaints or recommendations over the past several months. The food is getting better. I will get to the point: while it is getting better, D-Hall still needs some improvement. To be honest, much of the food options in the comfort food line are still repetitive and becoming increasingly bland. I understand the reservations about seasoning and the reasons behind limiting it, but when students pay roughly $36, 000 a year to come to Berry, and anywhere from $3,032 to $10,164 of that just to eat in the dining hall, it puzzles me as to why we are so limited. However, my major problem with the way D-Hall handles its food service is that I feel like we are ill-informed with what

Dear Ms. Turnbuckle, I have a serious problem in my workplace. Every week, my lovely co-workers and I get together for work night and every week we seem to have a struggle for power. One of our newest additions to our team seems to think that he runs this place, and his lust for power is causing serious problems. He always yells at our younger employees and he even kicked a puppy once. I tried to talk to my boss about this, but I dont think she gets it. She always praises him on Facebook and other social media. I dont know what to do. I just want everything to get back to normal. Sincerely, Worried in the Workplace Dear Worried in the Workplace, This is an issue to which I feel almost anyone can relate. I say this not to make little of your frustration, but to thank you for writing about something that will benefit many of our readers. There has always been one surefire way to deal with problematic co-workers, of course... But in case youre looking for something a bit less extreme, or perhaps not as illegal, I recommend weakening him psychologically. Begin by leaving snide little Post-Its at his desk: You are unwelcome here. Begone with you. Get thee away, you scalliwag. And so on and so forth. These will weaken his morale. Then advance to inconveniencing him in small ways: jam his stapler, leave a thumbtack on his chair... You could even commandeer his Facebook account when hes not looking and post nasty things about your boss, so as to undermine their apparent friendship. How do I know all this? I asked my dear niece Penelope, since I occasionally have to deal with that Paul fellowyou know, from the Paul-itics columnbecause he so frequently usurps my space here. And we simply cant have that. Hugs and Devils food cake, Ms. Turnbuckle

The traps of graduation

CAROLINE CLAFFEY Deputy News Editor I am graduating this Maysupposedly. My doubt is not academichonestly Id have to screw up pretty badly to fail a class at this point (and by the way, that is by absolutely no means a challenge, professors). My problem is all the nonacademic hoops I find myself having to jump through. This is the semester when I need to concentrate as much as possible, because my senioritis is at an all-time high. You lowerclassmen can laugh, but when youre my age (see that? College has made me old) you too will find yourself lying in bed 15 minutes before your class starts, yelling at yourself but still feeling unperturbed. Its a real hardship, guys. My first problem is the Cultural Event credits. I promised myselfas Im sure many of my classmates didthat I would not be that kid who had to rush to get half of them done my senior year, but of course, I totally am. Ill get them all done, but can I just be the millionth student to ask what purpose those activities are serving me? How does watching a German film (no matter how delightful it was) aid in my education? Honestly if there were to be any activity or workshop on campus that were to count toward my graduation, I would prefer that they be Career Center eventsat least those would come in handy once my diploma is on my wall. I dont really foresee a time in my future

goes into the food we are served. Again, I understand why the food is seasoned very little (at best), and why the ingredients are relatively limited, but another problem I have run into is the small ingredients lists overall. I do understand that the dining hall does a great job of listing allergens, which is a fantastic aspect to protect those who eat there. Also, I understand that the nutrition facts, such as carbohydrates, calories and fat content, are typically listed on most of the items in D-Hall. But frankly, those dont mean much if we dont know where they are coming from. The ingredients are potentially the most important aspect of the food that we digest. Are we loading up our bodies with tons of preservatives and lab-grown chemicals, or is our nutrition coming from healthier alternatives? The calories and carbs that we intake can be subjective. A 300-calorie food item with a smaller ingredient list of primarily nutritious foods is probably a lot healthier than a 100-calorie item with an extensive ingredient list, let alone one packed with preservatives and a ton of unhealthy alternatives. D-Hall needs to display ingredient lists for at least most of the items served. Even if it means a separate menu located somewhere in the dining hall with the nutrition facts and ingredients for the days menu selection; it would be helpful for students to understand what they are eating. Again, I would like to point out that I have noticed a significant increase in quality and selection in the D-Hall menu from last semester. So, by all means, carry on with improvement. Continue to listen to the voices of the many that flood the suggestions board. But I cannot stress enough how important it is for those who eat the food to be wellinformed on what they are putting into their bodies.

when Im sitting at a desk and my boss pops around the corner and goes, Hey Caroline, I know youre an English major and I hired you to (insert job I havent found yet), so could you just type up a history of the Comedian Harmonists real quick? How about the senior exit examinattions? My quarrel here is not actually with the examinations themselves. But I really think those could have been advertised better; all they did was send us a letter. There I was the Monday we got back from Spring Break, and I went to collect the paycheck we had received the Friday before. So I opened the letter at 4:48 p.m. to discover that the exit examinations were to take place in 12 minutes. Gee, an email would have been nice. I get 50 emails every day about far more trivial things, but I didnt get one about this? There are CE credits, exit examinations, cap and gown fittings, the application for graduation (about which I was not informed until about a week beforehand; come on, Berry), exit counselingit seems like every week or so theres a new form I have to fill out or office I have to call. Isnt there a more effective way of doing this? Couldnt there just be a mandatory meeting at the beginning of the year or even spring semester for all graduating seniors where they could just tell us about everything at the same time? Whatever they do, it needs to be conducted more smoothly than it is now, because I feel like Im walking on a path that for the last three and half years has been well-lit, but the homestretch is full of bear traps and random axe murderers trying to keep me from graduating.

started years ago with a typical blogger and a website called Lifehacker. If youve never been on Pinterest, this page will probably give you new ideas on how to simplify your life. If youre a pinning addict, chances are youve seen several of these before, but at the very least, we can finally put a name to all those interesting pins and put an end to the ambiguous phrase a thing I saw on Pinterest.

What is your favorite life hack?

Using binder clips to keep cords from falling off my desk. Trevor Sutton, junior

Lifehacker was invented in 2005 by Gina Trapani, whose goal was to create a website for a collection of little tricks and tips to make life easier. She got the idea after tech writer Danny OBrien coined the term life hacks in 2004. OBrien saw a connection between the computer tech world and modern society; both are viewed as apparently complex systems lacking a clear cut solution. Hacks are simply a nonobvious shortcut for these complex situations. OBrien mentioned his revelation in a couple of lectures, and the idea for Lifehacker was born. Lifehacker opened to the public on Jan. 31, 2005. For the first eight months, Trapani was the sole blogger, posting multiple times each day to try to make life a little easier for the public. As Trapani received increasingly more response emails to each post, she eventually brought on three co-bloggers and enabled approvalonly comments, allowing subscribers to swap ideas and opinions on various life hacks. Trapani didnt plan on remaining a professional blogger, however. Originally a web developer, the founder figured shed try it out for one year before returning to her original employment. Contrary to her plan, Trapani began to fall in love with the profession, her readers and working with her co-bloggers. Four years and over 20,000 posts as the Editor-inChief opened up numerous opportunities to expand her profession. Trapani has published two editions of a best-selling tech book, released a series of Firefox extensions, spoken at conferences around the world, built up an audience of over one million daily readers and much more. Take into consideration that Trapani had no prior professional writing experience, and the accomplishment is that much greater. In the first month of posting, Lifehacker grew from zero to 33 million pageviews, and although the high traffic rate is impressive, Trapani was most impressed by the conversation
Additional sources:

readers generated in the comments. As a rule, commenters remained positive and continually swapped knowledge and ideas back and forth, confirming her goal to make readers days a little easier with Lifehacker. After four years as Editor-inChief, Trapani took a step back to become a weekly features writer for her website and passed the torch on to fellow Lifehacker blogger Adam Pash. Pash held the title until Jan. 7, 2013, passing the reins to the current Editor in Chief, Whitson Gordon. Initially, Lifehacker had begun as a website focusing on hacks to make peoples lives easier, especially with technology. Because it was founded before the era of Theres an app for that, Lifehacker was what millions of readers depended on for simplifying technology. With the introduction of the iPhone, Lifehacker has evolved to focus more on everyday life hacks. Many people today dont realize what a life hack is, but the introduction of Pinterest has people talking about life hacks more than ever before, whether they realize it or not. Only now, instead of reading and swapping ideas on Lifehacker, people tend to repin handy life hacks onto Pinterest boards and swap ideas by starting a conversation with, Well I saw this thing on Pinterest, and while the social media pinboard is responsible for the majority of sharing lifehacks among society today, the folks at Lifehacker are responsible for starting the trend. Today Lifehacker has 7.9 million monthly readers, over 579,000 followers on Twitter and over 500,000 fans on Facebook. Interestingly, while 79 percent of Pinterest users are female, 88 percent of Lifehackers readers are male. The website continues to post useful bits of knowledge for readers multiple times each day and covers everything from new uses for vinegar to tips for minimizing procrastination and maximizing personal money-management. Thanks to Lifehacker, with just a few clicks on the computer, the public has access to seemingly limitless ways to make everyday life a little bit easier.

V-Day talks rape, self-love

JOSHUA WILLIS Staff Writer One out of three women will be raped or beaten in her lifetime. This is over one billion women and girls. And this issue is not just a third world problem that can be easily or comfortably ignored (not that it should be). No, violence against women occurs everywhere from Tulsa, Okla. to Timbuktu. It can happen in the house across the street as well as across the globe. The women affected could be your friend, your sister or your mother, not just those unknown faces and names that occasionally appear in the headlines. To combat this epidemic, the global activist movement known as V-Day (the V stands for Victory, Valentine and Vagina) was created. V-Day attempts to increase awareness about violence against girls and women and raise money and revitalize the spirit of existing nonviolence organizations through the production of The Vagina Monologues, Eve Enslers award-winning play. Berry College once again joined the cause this year when EMPOWER and the Womens and Gender Studies program sponsored a production of The Vagina Monologues directed by senior Ashley Harzog. All proceeds benefited the Women of W.O.R.T.H. Clinic of Rome. Berry students and faculty performed The Vagina Monologues at 11 p.m. last Friday and on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. to packed audiences. The staging in the Krannert Underground was simple yet effective with white Christmas lights and flickering candles acting as the main lighting. Dressed in black and red, each actor performed an individual monologue. The themes of these pieces ranged from sexual repression (The Flood, performed by Christina Bucher, associate professor of English) to gang rape (My Vagina Was My Village, by Shari Bissoondatt) to birth (I Was There In the Room, by Julia Jordan). Regardless of their differences, each monologue stressed the importance of sexual and personal freedom as symbolized by the vagina in womens lives. The results were funny, touching and, at times, disturbing. Bucher enjoyed performing her monologue and felt the experience was an important one. I love my monologue. Its not in my own experience, but I can imagine it. I think it is both funny and poignant. [The Vagina Monologues] is fun and important. Im the adviser of EMPOWER, but I didnt feel obligated; I [performed] because I wanted to. For freshman audience member Kacee Culpepper, her first experience seeing The Vagina Monologues was a life-changing one. I went to go see The Vagina Monologues, because, despite having heard of it many times, I had never had the opportunity to go. I thought it was wonderful. The performance contained thoughtful, humorous, powerful stories that will stay with me for the rest of my life. When asked why The Vagina Monologues and V-Day itself is so important, director Ashley Harzog pointed out current events in the media. The Steubenville rape case is a prime example of why The Vagina Monologues and V-Day are important. The media has shown sympathytowards the rapists, who will receive one to two years of jail timeless time than someone convicted of pirating music could potentially face, Harzog said. She also felt that not enough people appreciate the bravery of women survivors worldwide. No mention is made of the [Steubenville] victim or her courage to proceed with the prosecution of the rapists, Harzog said. We do this show for her and women like her who have been the victims of violence. V-Day is a global movement to end violence against women and girls. Awareness of these issues is an important step in ending the violence. This was Harzogs third and last year directing the show. She offered advice to future directors and performers. My advice for future directors is to focus on the cast as well as the show as a whole, Harzog said. The relationships that I have built with the women Ive worked with over the years are so precious to me. I know those women will continue to make an impact and empower other women.

Internet University:
COMMENTARY BY EMILY FAULKNER Entertainment Editor So I know that weve passed the point of no return (i.e. Spring Break) and weve all hit that point where everything has gotten a bit overwhelming. So, I have taken it upon myself to provide you with something you can watch on the Internet to distract you from the stresses that we definitely arent ready for. Bravest Warriors is an American animated web series created by Pendleton Ward, the creator of the hit show Adventure Time. Set in the year 3085, the series follows four teenaged heroes-for-hire as they warp through the universe to save adorable aliens and their worlds using the power of their emotions. What is so great about this show is the fact that unlike Adventure Time, Bravest Warriors is allowed to use more adult language and adult themes. I was initially taken aback when the cartoon teenagers started using light curse words, but then I realized; Its an online web series. They can say whatever they want. Thats what Adventure Time had been missing all alongmore connection with its primary audience. Dont get me wrong; there are still components of the show just like Adventure Time. There is a character named Catbug that basically says all the one-liners for the show including

Bravest Warriors
his hilarious line Sugar peas in the middle of an incredibly serious moment. One of the parts of the show that I found most interesting was the relationship between the characters Beth and Chris. Beth and Chris have been best friends since they were little children and its adorable to watch these characters that are obviously going to get together eventually. The animated series began streaming on Frederators Cartoon Hangover channel on YouTube in 2012, but the first series didnt finish until March of this year. The second season will not be available for viewing until this summer, but its worth catching up on this adorable animated series.

Redneck antics bring students together

LYNDSEY HERMAN Staff Reporter Mountain Campus created a hee-hawing good time at the Late Night Edition, Redneck Rumble on Friday night. With a live band playing country music, deep fried Oreos, a root beer keg and toilet racing, there was something to bring out the redneck in everyone. Mountain Campus Head Resident Trevor Sutton said his staff had a blast planning and putting on the event. We tried to do something that hasnt been done in a while, Sutton said. We wanted people to be able to dress up, but not necessarily nice. With the weather getting warmer, we wanted the event outside. That is where we got our idea. One thing that a lot of people were curious about was the toilet racing. Many did not understand exactly what that meant or how it would work. The race cars were literal toilets attached to wooden pallet on wheels with slats cut out for the racers feet to pedal the vehicle. Sutton said one toilet was purchased off Craigslist and the other was picked up on the side of the road. As people took their turns at racing, many peered under the toilet lid out of curiosity. Mountain Campus RA Michaela Grass assured that the toilets were clean. We bleached them, Grass said. Twice. Sutton reported that they had seen the idea for toilet racing online as a rental service. But the toilets had not been available anywhere close. So the staff decided to make their own, because that would be more redneck anyway. No particular aspect of the event seemed to overshadow another. Attendees seemed to enjoy each of the attractions. The fried Oreos are my favorite part. Theyre really good and Ive never had them before, sophomore Abbey Smyth. Smyth said events like this should happen more often. Events like this foster better student life, Smyth said. They encourage people to stay on campus over weekends. Sophomore Noelle Mouton stated that her favorite part of the night was the band.

I like the music; it gets everyone excited and puts people in a good mood, Mouton said. Mouton also recommended more events like this take place on campus. She said the only thing she would add to the Redneck Rumble would be a potato sack race. Much like Moutons favorite part, Suttons also had to do with the music. My favorite part was that one of the final songs was Wagon Wheel and the band invited whoever wanted to to come on stage, Sutton said. During that song there was a freshman in WinShape yelling into the mic the lyrics and on another mic was a sophomore in Dana. At that point in time, it didnt matter where you lived on campus or who you normally hang out with or where you sit in Krannert. I think this is what Late Nights are supposed to be aboutconnecting the campus-and that is exactly what happened tonight. Overall, students really seemed to enjoy the Redneck Rumble. At least 300 students attended, many in their finest redneck attire.

Vikings strike even with 10-10 record

OLIVIA DONNALLY Asst. Sports Editor Since the mens baseball hype in the media on ESPNs Not Top 10 against Hendrix College, the Vikings have won five games and lost four. In the past week the team has won two and lost two with all four games resulting in very high- and close-scoring games. On Wednesday, March 13, the Vikings played against Maryville. The game went into extra innings with Maryville winning the game in the 11th inning with a final score of 15-12. Going into the sixth inning the Vikings were losing with a score of 11-7. But at the bottom of the sixth the Vikings began to rally and by the bottom of the eighth inning were leading the game with a score of 12-11. The Vikings were unable to maintain the lead, however, and Maryville tied the game at the top of the ninth inning and scored three additional runs at the top of the 11th inning. On March 16 the Vikings finished with another loss, only this time it was against Millsaps, a Southern Athletic Association opponent. The final score of the game was 21-0 and the mercy rule was initiated. In the top of the seventh inning Millsaps gained 12 additional runs to the 9-0 runs they had scored in the previous innings. Freshman Ryan OConnell was the starting pitcher of the game and managed to keep Millsaps from scoring for the first three innings. Over the course of the next two innings six more runs came in and OConnell was taken off the mound. Freshman Grant Perkins managed two base hits over the course of the game but the Vikings were unable to score any runs. In their second game against

Lady Vikings softball claims victory to improve to 14-6

OLIVIA DONNALLY Asst. Sports Editor The Lady Vikings softball team has been on a four-game winning streak after they swept Sewanee: The University of the South with all four of the games resulting in Sewanee scoring no runs. In the first two games on March 16 the Lady Vikings won with scores of 17-0 and 15-0, which resulted in a mercy rule and the games both ending in five innings. The starting pitcher for the womens team was senior Caillee Shamoun. Throughout the course of three innings Shamoun only allowed one hit against her and struck out three batters. Closing pitcher was sophomore Natalie Boyd and she also allowed one hit against her. Highlights for hitters are senior Kristen Stoll who had a two-run home run and three RBIs (runs batted in). In the second game, pitcher freshman Allison Cornado pitched for the full five innings and secured the Lady Vikings win with a score of 15-0. The following day, March 17, the Lady Vikings continued their winning streak as they swept Sewanee with two more scoreless games for the University of the South with scores of 8-0 and 17-0. These two wins improved Berrys record to 14-6 with 6 wins and 2 losses in the Southern Athletic Association. Sewanee has a record of 0-4 in SAA wins. In the top of the fourth inning, the Vikings rallied with five runs and led them to a final score of 8-0. Senior third baseman Lindsey Campbell said how great the team is working together this year. Our team last year was 27-11, Campbell said. This year we are working hard and are working to out-hit our opponents. The Lady Vikings currently have a record of 14-6. Along with their winning performance this week against Sewanee, the Lady Vikings softball pitcher Shamoun was announced the softball SAA Pitcher of the Week. Shamoun has a pitching record of 3-0 and a 1.25 ERA (earned run average) in 21.1 innings pitched. The previous week Boyd took the title for SAA Pitcher of the Week. The Lady Vikings will be playing against Millsaps on March 23 at the Ford Field with their first game starting at 12 p.m. and the second beginning at 2 p.m.

Millsaps the Vikings came back and won the game with a score of 12-7. This win resulted in the Vikings overall record increasing to 10-9 and a 7-2 record in the SAA. Head Coach David Beasley said there was a huge difference between the two games. We came out to play like we knew we could win, Beasley said. In the Vikings most recent game against Covenant College on March 19 the score resulted in a loss with a score of 10-9. The Vikings were leading by two runs at the top of the ninth but were unable to finish the game. Junior second baseman Austin Neely commented on the conclusion of the game against Covenant. We are working on correcting a problem that weve carried with us from last year, Neely said. We have been a team that has a difficult time finishing games. Covenant was winning up until the seventh inning with a score of 6-3. The Vikings came in

at the bottom of the seventh with a rally and scored five runs in a single inning making the score 9-6. They were unable to maintain the lead and Covenant came back to tie and ultimately win the game. The Vikings have a record of .500 with an overall record of 10-10. In the upcoming games they will be hosting a baseball game on March 23 at 4 p.m. to benefit the Wounded Warriors.

According to the Wounded Warrior Project, its purpose is to raise awareness and enlist the publics aid for the needs of injured service members. The teams will be accepting all donations and will be dressed in camouflage uniforms to show their support for the military. The game will be against Oglethorpe University and will include a pre-game tailgate that will begin at 3 p.m. The game will take place on the Bowdoin Field.

Vikings, Lady Vikings tennis defeat Emmanuel

STEVEN EVANS Sports Editor The Vikings tennis team opened up their season with a 9-0 victory over the Covenant College Scots this Tuesday, but have since suffered a seven-game losing streak that was eventually broken by their most recent win against the Emmanuel College Lions 5-4. With the road win over Emmanuel, the Vikings now hold a 2-7 record nearly at the halfway point in the season. We have played some of the best teams in the nation over the past several games, number one singles player, sophomore Logan Yerby, said. We knew Emmanuel was no pushover, especially in their top positions, but we also knew we could win. In their 5-4 victory against Emmanuel, the Vikings claimed victory in three of the six singles matches, and two of the three doubles matches. Yerby was defeated in straight sets of 6-1 and 6-2. Number two singles player freshman, Seth Taylor, won his first set 6-3, but fell 6-4 and 6-0 in the following sets to lose his match. Number three singles player, freshman Austinn Miller, also took his match to three sets, but was finally defeated with scores of 0-6, 6-2 and 3-6. The Vikings, down 0-3 overall for the match, turned the match around by securing victories in the next three singles positions. Number four singles player, senior Ben Ortman, earned victory in his match after three sets, defeating Emmanuels Carl Brown across three sets. Ortman won the first set 6-3 before losing the second 4-6. Ortman finally closed out the match by winning the final set 6-2. Ben [Ortman] won it for us Yerby said. It was really great to know that we have a team that can come through and pull out wins for us. The 5-4 finish was a tough one, but Ben was the last singles player playing and he kept us in it.
