Vikings football begins ofcial practices

The Vikings football team hasbegun fully-padded practices inpreparation for the inaugural 2013season.

Vikings football head coachTony Kunczewski said the rst twodays of practice included little pad-ding and more limited contact dueto an NCAA acclimation rule.

We have a fun group of guysto work with, Kunczewski said.One of the hardest parts of theteam and of practice so far is thefact that, because this program is

brand new, there are no veteran Vi-king upperclassmen on the eld,Kunczewski said. I believe onlythree players on the team right nowhave had any college football ex-perience. But the players are doinga great job adapting and learningfrom each other already.

Kunczewski said there are 108players on the Vikings roster rightnow, 95 of which are freshmen.

We are not going to cutanybody, Kunczewski said.

Football is a marathon, not a sprint.In order to conduct a practice that isefcient, I think you need roughly

90 to 100 or more players. Theyreall progressing, and thats good tosee.

Defensive backs coach NateMasters shared Kunczewskis en-thusiasm toward the players prog-

ress so far.I think the most importantthing we got from [full-padded

practice] is that the guys were y-ing around out there, Masters said.The boys were ying at each otherwith energy, hitting and just play-ing football. I love the intensity.

Offensive coordinator Rich

Duncan said that while the offen-sive line is going to take work, heis impressed by the improvement

already.The offense takes a lot of time,

Duncan said. They are doing agood job working hard. They havea ways to go, but they have made alot of progress so far.

Duncan has coached collegefootball for 24 years, and six ofthose years were spent as the head

coach at Aurora University. At Au-rora, he led the team to a 9-2 recordand a NCAA Division III nationalplayoff appearance in 2008.

The Vikings will have their rstofcial intra-squad scrimmage atBarron Stadium on Saturday at 3:45p.m. They will then have a pre-sea-son scrimmage against ColumbusState on Saturday, Aug. 31 at 10 a.m.

The scrimmage against Colum-bus State is where we will really

start putting things together, Mas-ters said. When they hit the eld ina real scrimmage, we can evaluate

better than in practice.The Vikings will take the eld

for Berry Colleges rst ever in-tercollegiate football competitionon Saturday, Sept. 7 against theMaryville College Scots at BarronStadium. Kickoff begins at 6 p.m.

We look forward to playing ourbest, but its not all about the wins,its about the process, Kunczewskisaid. If it was all about winning,then what happens when you lose?Our goal is to go from whereverwe are on a scale of one to ten andreach our potential as a ten. We

want other teams to know that wework hard on and off the eld andthats what football is about.

Record-breaking freshman class: tting in at BerryMATTHEW MURPHY

Deputy News Editor

For the past three years, the freshmanclass has broken previous enrollmentrecords, but housing these students is

beginning to become a problem.In the past six years, Berry has seen

record-breaking numbers of freshmanenrollment. Bryce Durbin, Registrar andDirector of Institutional Research, releasedstatistics about the freshman class from2008 to 2012.

From 2008 to 2013, the size of the

Berry freshman class has increased byapproximately 34 percent. In 2013, notonly has the number of freshman studentsincreased, but also the number of malestudents.

With a projected freshman class of 680and a projected 2180 total students, hous-ing became an issue. Lindsey Taylor, As-sistant Dean of Students for Residence Life,explained that the residence halls are lledto the brim with students.

Measures had to be taken by residencelife to ensure a living space for all studentsthis year, including some gender re-desig-nations of oors in Dana.

We had to change some oor designa-tions from female to male, Taylor said.

Though this created some tension be-

tween certain students and residence life,Taylor said residence life tried to gureout which oor could change designationswhile impacting the least amount of femalestudents.

Six study rooms, three in Dana andthree in the Ford buildings, were convertedinto living spaces for students. In addi-tion, seven male students not participat-ing in the WinShape Scholarship Programwere housed on Berrys mountain campus,an area usually exclusive to WinShapestudents.

Also, the Thomas Berry apartment, for-merly used by a staff member, was convert-ed to hold six male students, and the cul-tural house is also being used for studenthousing.

When addressed about the idea of fu-ture new housing construction, Taylor saidnew housing would eventually becomeessential.

Weve tapped out almost every addi-tional space on this campus, so until wecan stabilize our numbers for the fall, weregoing to have to do something different,Taylor said.

Taylor discussed a trend in housing thatshows that though the dorms may be lledto the brim in the fall semester, in the springsemester open beds become available. Thiscan be costly to students in the long run.

Empty beds are very expensive to payfor. Filled beds is the best way to be, Tay-lor said.

According to Taylor, there is a need forstability in student numbers between thefall and spring semester.

Until we can stabilize our numbersfrom fall to spring semester were reallykind ofin between a rock and a hardplace, Taylor said.

The fear is that by over-constructing, thenancial burden will be left on the backs ofthe students. Taylor explained that non-traditional housing options were also be-ing explored, which would still provide the

extra living spaces needed without havingto construct an entirely new dorm.

Were looking at some differentconcepts of how to build so maybewere not building a mass buildinglike a Morgan/Deerfield, Taylor said.

In addition to the sheer size of thisyears freshman class, this class also

bre aks the rec ord fo r the mos t mal estudents in the past five years, withan approximate 45 percent of males inthe class, adding over 100 more maleswhen compared to the previous yearsfreshman enrollment statistics.

Communication students win national award for work done abroadMICAH BHACHECH

Copy Editor

The Jews of Florence, amultimedia journalism projectcreated by Berry communica-tion majors, won third place in

the national Newspaper Proj-ect Award competition. Thecompetition was administered

by the Association for Educa-tors in Journalism and MassCommunication.

According to an Aug. 16press release on Berrys website,Northwestern University wasawarded rst place, followed byIowa State and James Madisonin second. Berry tied with theUniversity of Texas at Austin forthird.

Seniors Chardonnay Cope-land, Kirstie Broadwell, RachelShin and Mary Claire Stew-art along with 2013 graduates

Bethany McDaniel, Kelly Dick-erson and Kayla Sanner workedtogether in Florence, Italy forthree weeks during summer 2012to document over a dozen storiesof Florentine Jews.

The project utilized variousmediums, including photo narra-tives, videos, written articles, andinteractive graphs to tell its sto-ries. The students were trainedin these mediums at Berry as therst part of the two-course proj-ect worth six hours of class credit.

We went and reported on theJewish community in Florence,the Jewish experience and howthe Jews there live their lives,

Broadwell said.She alluded to the persecution

that Jews faced during WorldWar II.

Broadwell went on to describethe work that the team did todepict the difculty of the Jewsin Florence to balance boththeir Italian and Jewish ethnicidentities.

Broadwell mentioned theJews, nding their Jewish iden-tities and how that inuencestheir Italian side tooWhat partof their Jewish heritage do they

give up to be Italian and whatpart of their Italian side do theygive up to be Jewish?

Stories within the project alsocovered Jewish tourism in Flor-ence and a picture tour of theonly Florentine synagogue.

We were all working onour own individual stories,Broadwell said. It was very syn-

ergistic in how what we did indi-vidually came up to build ProjectFlorence.

McDaniel spoke of the enor-mity of the project and the chal-

lenges and rewards associatedwith it.

We were kind of on our ownfor the most part because this isa really big subject, McDanielsaid.

She described how large theJewish population in Florence is,noting that the Florentine syna-gogue is the biggest in that area.

She also pointed out the obscu-rity of the Jewish population inFlorence.

We were just seven studentstaking on something none has

ever really talked about beforethats also what made it reallyawesome, McDaniel said.

Kevin Kleine, a senior lecturerin the communication depart-ment, Dr. Curt Hersey, instructorin the communication depart-ment and Dr. Brian Carroll, asso-ciate professor of communicationwere the faculty advisors for the

project.On placing in the national

Newspaper Project Award com-petition, McDaniel said, Thatwas awesome because all the

other schools were these bigname schools, and there wasBerry making a name for itself.

Both McDaniel and Broadwellhighly encouraged students totake advantage of opportunitiessimilar to the course they wereinvolved in when they createdThe Jews of Florence.

Nursing program prepares for incoming classMEGAN REED

News Editor

Berrys nursing program hasbeen preparing for its rst class ofstudents, which will begin in the

spring of 2014, and has openednew facilities in Evans and hiredthree new professors.

Pamela Bowen Dunagan,Sara Clarkson Majors and TanyaDooley Naguszewski are joiningDean Vanice W. Roberts as mem-

bers of the nursing faculty.The nursing program will be

located in Evans, which was reno-vated this summer to create spacefor classrooms, labs and ofces.The labs will include HumanPatient Simulators for studentsto use to practice what they havelearned. The simulators will beable to blink their eyes, speak andreact to medicines just like a realpatient, Dunagan said.

If the nurse gives the wrongdose [of medicine], the simula-tor will then react physiologicallyto the wrong dosenurses willapply the knowledge they learnin the classroom in the simulation

lab, Dunagan said.Dunagan said that the simu-

lators will help nursing studentsunderstand how to give medicineto patients and learn the possibleside effects of various medicines.

The simulators will also give stu-dents practice communicatingwith patients and the condencethey will need in their futurecareers.

Students must rst be admit-ted to Berry before applying tothe nursing program. A mini-mum Berry grade point averageof 2.8 is required. The rst classof admitted students, which isprojected to have about 18 to 24students, will begin in the springof 2014 with a projected gradua-tion date of May 2015. The sec-ond class will begin in the fall of2014 and follow the traditionalsemester sequence.

Gary Breton, dean of theschool of mathematical and natu-ral sciences, said that Berry previ-ously had a pre-nursing programwhich involved students takingscience courses at Berry and thennishing their degree at Emory

University in Atlanta. Students inthe new nursing program will beable to graduate from Berry witha Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

Berrys liberal arts approach toeducation will help prepare stu-

dents for their careers as nurses,Dunagan said.Beginning with a liberal arts

foundation will help them under-stand the community a little bet-ter, who theyre taking care of andthe groups they might encoun-ter when theyre in Rome or inAtlanta or wherever they decideto practice, Dunagan said.

Breton described Rome as amecca of health.

Leading healthcare providersFloyd Medical Center, RedmondRegional Medical Center and theHarbin Clinic are all located inRome. Nursing students will beable to take advantage of oppor-tunities to collaborate with thesehealthcare providers.

Well be working with Red-mond Medical Center, FloydMedical Center, the Harbin Clin-ics, some community agencies,school health nursing and the

Floyd health department, Rob-erts said.

Nursing students will alsoventure outside of Rome to gain

experience. They will travel toCosta Rica as part of a culturalimmersion program.

Opportunities to work withdifferent languages and differentcultures makes [students] betterprepared when they have clients

that come in with differences,Roberts said.

The cultural immersion expe-rience in Costa Rica will also

help nursing students learn basicSpanish conversation skills. Evenif a translator is available in ahospital, it is often comforting forpatients to be able to communi-cate with their nurse in their rstlanguage, Roberts said.

KEVIN KLEINE, Student Publications Advisor

Berry students traveled to Florence, Italy to document the stories of Florentine Jews. They recently won third place in the national NewspaperProject Award competition for the multimedia project they created.

Heida said the new Vikings football teamhad its part in bolstering the number of maleapplicants, not just because of the playersthemselves, but also because of the excitementand energy that the team brings to campus.

When asked about the effect of this largemale presence on housing, Heida did notplace all of the blame on the large number ofmales, but instead said that the problem wasalso related to the sheer size of the freshmanclass.

Heida said the housing issues arose becauseof an issue with gender prediction numbers.

Its hard to predict where youre genderbalance is going to come out particularly when

youre the midst of a change Heida said.These prediction issues are what caused

the housing issues. Heida said there weresome factors such as returning students thatwere under-estimated, leading to housingcomplications.

There were several complaints issued toresidence life this year about students beingmoved between different residence halls.Heida made it clear that their decision was notintended to hurt anyones feelings, but everyone had to be housed.

We wish we could do something otherthan that, but you have to make a decision thathouses everybody, Heida said.

Heida said that the actual numbers of stu-dents enrolled or coming back is not in theircontrol.

Even though the number of males mayhave affected housing for the current semester,Heida said the increase in the male populationshould not be so drastic in the future, thougha gradual increase is hoped for.

Heida attributed this years housing issuesas strains of a growing college, but maintaineda positive attitude about the year.

Growing pains are never easy, whetherthats for individuals or a college, Heidasaid. Weve got some growing pains thisyear, but its going to be a good year.

Enrollment-CONTINUED FROM PG.1

Record setting enrollment continues onward, but it mayhave negative effects on housing.

Berry completes summer renovationsMEGAN REED

News Editor

The Berry physical plant stayed busy this summer completing con-struction and renovations in several major areas of campus.

The trafc circle and agpole at the main entrance to campus wereredesigned to improve both safety and aesthetics. New shrubbery has

been added, and the area has been repaved. The crosswalks at the traf-c circle are now red brick rather than striped pavement, and there arenot as many places to cross, Mark Hopkins, director of the physicalplant, said. This change was made for the safety of pedestrians.

It used to look like a clock, and it had about eight crosswalks. Nowthere are only two, one on each side, so hopefully that will make it safer

because you dont have to watch for people anywhere and everywhere.Theres only one path across the circle now, Hopkins said.

Yellow caution lights have been ordered and will soon be installedat the trafc circle. They are another safety precaution and will blinkto warn drivers of pedestrians on the crosswalks. Debbie Heida, deanof students, believes that the lighting will help drivers avoid injuringpedestrians.

I think we have much less chance of a vehicle-student collision,Heida said.

The cottages on campus also received some renovations. Catherine

and Emily Cottages, which were previously guest cottages, were con-verted into residence halls to accommodate for a growing student pop-ulation. These cottages received new furniture and paint. The physi-cal plant also renovated Jewel and Frances Cottages, which are bothguest cottages. The bathroom in Jewel was redone and new lightingwas installed.

New roofs were added on the College Chapel and the post ofcein Krannert. The roof at Ford Auditorium is almost complete, but therainy weather this summer has slowed construction, Hopkins said.

Opportunity Drive and several other roadways on main campuswere repaved, and a sidewalk was added between the cottages andViking Trail. Sophomore Royce Dingley, a student worker, helped pavethis sidewalk. He said that work often began at about 6:30 in the morn-ing and would last for about eight and a half to nine hours.

The road to Rollins Dairy was also paved for the rst time, coveringgravel and potholes.

We nally built the road out to Rollins that weve always needed,Hopkins said.

Evans received an interior renovation to make room for the nursingprogram, which will be welcoming its rst class in the spring of 2014.The program will have labs and classrooms on the second oor. Thisextensive renovation involved moving and rearranging walls and theoor layout, Hopkins said.

Richards Gym was renovated to create ofces, locker rooms andtraining facilities for the new football team. The swimming pool waslled in and converted to a weightlifting room, and the gym oor wasrenished and partially replaced. One of the intramural elds was con-

verted to a practice eld for the football and lacrosse teams. Vikingsand Lady Vikings tennis and lacrosse will also have locker rooms andofces in Richards.

On-campus construction will continue into the academic year. Thelobbies in Morton Lemley are scheduled to get new furniture and car-

pet, according to Heida. There are also plans to build a new gatehousewithin the next year.

We would like to have it completed by graduation, Hopkins said.

A great man named EdwardEstlin E.E. Cummings said, Ittakes courage to grow up and

become who you really are. Thisis one of the beauties of college:growing up in this way really isnot scary when youre here.

Think back to high school.Whether is was a few monthsor many years ago, many of ushad a pretty similar over-arch-ing theme: get by, t in, be with

the crowd (whether that meansbeing a cool kid a few years agoor tting in with the hipsters asof late).

But, my dear freshmen, hear(or read?) this: be who you are.You like the comics? Read them.You like guns? Discuss them.You like Frisbee? Play it. Becauseheres a secret: whatever you like,you will be able to nd someonewith the same interests, or at leastwith similar interests.

So what? you ask, still hud-dled away from everyone else asyou read the latest Star Trekfanction. What this means is,you can break out of the high

school mold. For every one whomight judge you for it, there area whole slew of others who haveyour back.

My problem when I came intothis freedom of personality was,I didnt know who I was. I spentmy entire high school career asa band nerd (band president, Ill

have you know), but that wassimply because its all I knew.

I kind of wanted to stick withthe whole music thing in col-lege, but I realized it just wasntmy forte (see what I did there?).I was only one of two studentsfrom my high school who cameto Berry, and, as we went our sep-arate ways with different majors,I was left to myself, to gure outwho I am.

I know for a fact that I am notthe only one who experienced,or will experience, this kind ofloneliness. Solitude isnt always anegative thing, however, no mat-ter what others say. It is duringthese times of isolation that werealize who we really are when

we shrug off the shackles offriends. I use shackles becauseit is often these friends (no mat-ter what age) that can determinehow we live our lives and whatwe choose to enjoy. When we

break free and explore our world,it becomes much simpler to ndthe fervor in your life.

One of the rst times I startedrealizing what a nerd I am iswhen I rst picked up a graphicnovel, Alan Moores classicWatchmen. They simply werenot very popular in my littlepodunk high school, nor in myhome. From the time I rst sawThe Comedians shattered apart-

ment window, I realized whatI had been missing out on mywhole life.

I kind of hid my new love fora little while, since I had no ideaif my college friends would viewcomics the same way my highschool friends viewed them. Myfears were alleviated, however,

when I found my niche of friendswho would have long, in-depth

discussions about these graphicnovels with me, as well as dis-cuss the newest theory on theworld of The Lord of the Rings.

From all that, what Im tryingto say is, I found my inner nerd,and it was great; there were manyothers around me who held thesame passions I did and wereable to easily relate with me.

Also, one more thing to keepin mind: this message may notapply to all of you. Maybe youfound what you really love whileyoure in high school. One of myfriends who is coming to Berryfound her love for Dr. Who andother nerdoms before she ever set

foot on this campus. I dont thinkshe would ever change from that,nor would I or any of her otherfriends want her to. She knowswho she is, and thats fantastic.

But to those who know whothey are and those who are aboutto gure it out: never stop grow-ing. If you love working out, keepat it. If you hate keeping yournose out of a book, keep on read-ing. Just make sure you dont letit interfere with your studies; aneducation is one of the most valu-able tools in growth. Especially ata liberal arts college, learning allyou can will further any passionyou have exponentially.

In the words of Dr. LeonardMcCoy, In this galaxy theres amathematical probability of threemillion Earth-type planets. Andin the universe, three million mil-lion galaxies like this. And in allthat, and perhaps more...only oneof each of us. So be you, who-ever that may turn out to be.

OPINIONSPAGE 4, CAMPUS CARRIER AUGUST 22, 2013

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

The goodness of being undecided

Adults love being inva-sive by asking you questionsabout your future. They alsolove giving a look of concernwhen you say youre unsureabout it. Maybe theres alater age when you forgetthat being unsure of what todo with your life is okay. Ifthis is true, is there a PeterPan mode somewhere? Theproblem must be that theyare overwhelmed with jeal-ousy that they are past theage where they have everyoption in the world. So stickit to the man by stayingundecided if you want withno regrets, just love.

Young adults have everyoption in the world and itshould be taken advantageof. The problem is this: Mostof our generation is all aboutthe now as much as a loyaliPhone user is all about thenewest software update.

Can we take a momentand not be restrained bythese socially constructedstandards?

Unfortunately, this prob-lem only worsens as youmake your way through col-lege. Somehow adults seemto think that since youre incollege, you should haveyour entire life planned outand know exactly what youare doing with it. Its okayto not have the answer tothat question. Having yourwhole life planned out when

youre an 18 year-old rightout of high school seems abit ridiculous. You were justable to start seeing R-ratedmovies a year ago. How in

the world are you supposedto know what you want tobe doing when youre 45?

College presents itselfas a whole new world andgives the choice to explorewith curiosity. You havefour years in undergradu-ate school, so adults, pleasegive young adults longerthan four months to decideeverything they want to do.Being undecided in a majorisnt hurting anyone. Itslike people who think youshould have your wholelife planned are expectingyou to say, Oh, Im sorryfor taking the time to gureout what I want to do so Ican enjoy my life. Im sorrythats inconvenient to yoursocial standards.

Dont apologize for tak-ing advantage of your freeelectives or taking randomgeneral education courses.

The world is yours. You area young adult and its nottoo late (or too early) to g-ure out what you want todo, or who you want to be.

Take a course catalog andsee what looks interesting.Experiment with classes tosee what you like. In TheGreat Gatsby, F. ScottFitzgerald writes, I waswithin and without, simul-taneously enchantedbythe inexhaustible variety oflife. Fitzgerald hit the jack-pot. These are the best years

of your life, and there is somuch variety; why not takethe time to explore and ndsomething to make it moreenjoyable?

Education never really ends

At 16, we think the world is

our oyster simply because it islegal to operate heavy machin-ery. At 17, we feel as if a highlevel of maturity has beenattained since we are allowedto see R-rated movies. Ataround 18, we arrive to college,a whole new world, reachingthe epiphany that we will soonenter adulthood. The point is,time passes and it doesnt seemto be slowing down. During allof this, we continue learningmore and more. We grow andchange for the betterment ofourselves.

Jesse Lacey, lead singer of

Brand New, said, Im justastonished at how much youlearn as you grow older andhow it never stopsBut itdoesnt seem to be slowingdown. When does that processof growing stop?

Evolving doesnt stop andit shouldnt. The person youare at 18 will understand morethan the person you were at16. You clearly become moreinformed as you learn. Thiscontinues year by year, day by

day. It dumbfounds you thatdays pass by and we dontthink anything has changed.But when we overlook a year,its all so distinctive, its almostsurreal. Meaning, that timepasses so fast at times, that

we are unable to see what hashappened and changed. Eventhough we dont realize whatsexactly happening, nothingis staying the same. Even forsomething to stay the same, itmust change. We are dynamichuman beings who go througha gradual process of growingup. But even when we age,we gather more intellect as theyears go on.

People restrain the denitionof growing up to simply reach-ing a higher level of maturity.However, growing up isntthat simple. It is about doing

something when you are 20 thatyou would have never thoughtof doing when you were 18. Itis all about learning that youalso need to see through theeyes of others instead of solelyyour own, which can get ridof ignorance. Its about know-ing that there are things thatyou still dont know. Plato saidthe wisest man knew that therewere still things that he did notknow.

I was humbled in high

school when I realized thatthere is so much of the worldthat Ive never seen and thereare so many things that are leftto learn. The learning processhas and will never stop. Sincethis learning process never

reaches a demise, neither doeschange or a persons growth.And every year, our experi-ences, encounters and themedia shape our beliefs. Ignor-ing this learning process willnever be bliss, and ignoringwill never make change reacha halt. Coming to terms withchange and how we will neverstop learning, gives us acumen.

Whatever year you are hereat Berry or even if you arent astudent, step outside of your

box so you can continue tolearn and grow more as a per-son. Understand that it is okay

to not follow what is consid-ered normal. If you do, youwill never obtain the wonder-ful experiences and encoun-ters that cause you to growup. Never stop learning.Never stop taking on differ-ent opportunities. Never stopadventuring into the unknown.Read books and keep learning

because the process of growingdoesnt ever stop and thats themost beautiful thing there is;take advantage of it.

Were back to school again. Once again, we willget coffee and read books and practice talents and goto parties and all sorts of good things. Frankly, Imreally excited about this semester. I know that thatsort of sentiment can seem really lame, both to upper-classmen looking anxiously to their escape from theBubble and freshmen that must be exhausted of

being greeted with relentless optimism. But the factthat excitement seems cheesy is sort of my point.

Sometimes I sense this conception of cool that

paints irony and distance as the chief of the social vir-tues. It isnt cool to like things, to really genuinelythink something is entirely incredible. That doesnt

just apply to traditionally nerdy things either. Youshouldnt just look suspiciously on people who likecomic books or math classes; people who like a cer-tain band or book or anything really, provided theylike it too much, have fallen from the golden pillarof the cool.

Its perfectly ne to like working out, or TheLord of the Rings, or oolong tea, but to like any ofthose things too much disqualies one from our con-ception of the chain smoking, apathetic, un-show-ered rockstar archetype that embodies cool. Anyonewho talks about their interest, that thing that makesthem wildly, sincerely happy, with too much convic-tion and articulacy is knocked into the realm of thegeeky.

Geekiness by denition is no more than anuncompromising, maybe over-bearing convictionabout something. Theres no room for that sort ofthing in the current context that denes cool.

And when we do like things a lot, we too often

hide them behind shields like, I know its sort oflame, but or some of their songs suck, butthey arent terrible. Even the use of proper nounsdenotes a socially inappropriate devotion to thatthing, so we defend ourselves by cloaking its namewith or whatever. Even when we are passionateabout something, we soak our passion in such ironythat it comes out unrecognizable.

The problem with this kind of cool is that it gen-erates apathetic people. We are training ourselves toconsider that the things we should be most timidabout are the things that we care about the most.The only things we can speak of with excitement arethings that we only care about sarcastically. Howlame would it be if I actually liked this so much?

How, then, can we expect ourselves to be genuinelystirred by sincere empathy that ought to move us tocompassion and service?

Further, this kind of ironic, self-aware distancefrom the things that we care about prohibits us fromsharing them. So much of the goodness in mostthings is in sharing them, but if we are afraid to be

branded as one of the too-convicted, we miss out onthat. Instead of actually encountering one anothergenuinely, we only ever show a carefully craftedfaade built of irony and distance. No one can everknow what experiences, what preferences, shape us

because we refuse to acknowledge the things thatare the most meaningful to us. Instead we ascribeimportance and focus to the ironic enjoyment thatspares us from the unapologetically devoted joy thatcondemns us to nerdiness.

So, if only out of the selsh motivation that I

would love to be among sincere people eager to tellme about the things that they love, I implore youto nd things that make you happy, and submerseyourself in them with as much sincerity and convic-tion as you can summon.

Ironic cool-ness generates apathyMICAH

Greetings!I am grateful for this opportunity to wel-

come everyone back to Berry for anothergreat school year. I want to give a special wel-come to all of our First-Year students. Wel-come to the brilliant, beautiful, and belovedBerry College! I love this place, and I knowyou will too.

I look forward to meeting you or seeingyou again. You have come to a wonderfulcommunity with great people and count-less opportunities to learn and grow in everyarea of your life, including your spiritual life.I hope you will take advantage of this impor-tant time in your life. As Chaplain, I wantyou to know that our ofce is here to serveyou.

The Chaplains Ofce aims to offer many

opportunities to explore and express yourfaith through on-campus worship, Chris-tian concerts, guest preachers and lecturers,Bible studies and several student fellowshipgroups. In a given week, Berry offers about10-15 religion-in-life events on campus. Onegreat opportunity for worship, nurture, andservice is Mount Berry Church (www.mount-

berrychurch.com ). This i s our college-wide,inter-denominational, Christian worship ser-vice which is held each Sunday evening at7PM in our College Chapel.

A Word about Spiritual WellnessIn our efforts to inform and inspire an

emerging generation, its important not toneglect what one might call spirituality--as an important aspect of holistic wellness.Spirituality has to do with ones inner life

-- sometimes referred to as ones soul or

spirit. Spirituality is not only about onesinner life, but it does often begin there. Itend to think of humans as thinking, feeling,doing creatures. The health of our thinking,feeling, and doing is largely connected to ourspiritual wellness. These three aspects of anindividual correspond to Berrys mission toprovide education for the head, heart, andhands. In other words, one of Berry Col-leges core values is to promote spiritualwellness.

How does one go about seeking a healthyspirituality? Or, to put it another way, Howdoes one aim to think well, feel well (appro-priately), and do well? It is my convictionthat these three categories can mutually rein-force one another as a person seeks maturityand health in any one of them.

There are historic practices that have beenutilized by various faith traditions through-out human history which have proven help-ful in cultivating spiritual wellness. Theseinclude: prayer, solitude, meditation, reec-tive writing (journaling about ones experi-ences, thoughts, and feelings), mutuality(caring for others in a community), devo-tional study of sacred texts (like the Bible),service to others, religious worship, and ritu-als (which can provide meaning and stabilityto life). Sometimes people also nd particulartypes of music to be a helpful aide in pursu-ing these other activities.

One could summarize the goals and pur-poses of a healthy spirituality as formation,reformation, and transformation. By forma-tion I mean seeking to have good thingsformed within us that might not otherwise

be there. By reformation I mean seek-ing to have whatever is immature, misdi-rected, or misinformed within us reformedto accord with wisdom, truth, and maturity.By transformation I mean seeking to havewhatever is wrong, bad, or hurtful within ustransformed into something good, true, and

beautiful. As these things are realized in us as

individuals, we will not only become spiritu-ally well people, but will also seek for thesethings to be realized in the world around us.

Many great, historical gures wouldencourage us to see this kind of care of thesoul, or, spiritual wellness as the vitaldriving force and condition behind theirgreatness. Of course, the goal is not personalgreatness, but rather, being fully alive, fullyhuman, fully well.

This sense of overall personal wellness hasmany positive effects. It creates an internalclimate for one to think deeply and clearly,to feel compassion, joy, hope, and peace, andto do what is just and good not simply forones own sake, but for the common good.Imagine such a world for just a moment where everyone sought such spiritual health,where all were internally full and free to giveto others. The Hebrew word for this kind ofwholeness is shalom (often translated aspeace). Shalom is a state of perfect over-owing goodness, peace, righteousness,and justice. Perhaps the goal of spiritualityshould be both personal wellness and, moreimportantly, universal shalom.

So, to use a phrase we sometimes discussin Theology classes, we should aim to beshalom spreaders in the world. In order forthis to happen, we need wellness of all sorts.We need physical and mental well-being. Butwithout a strong sense of healthy spiritual-ity, we may use our health only for personalgain. We may be good thinkers and feelers.But healthy spirituality brings together goodthinking, good feeling, and good doing. Spir-itual wellness is found and expressed at theintersection of these three. It takes us beyondourselves into concern and service to oth-ers. So while at Berry, take advantage of theopportunities for learning, worship, spiritualformation, and service. Allow the landscapeof this beautiful campus, and your yearshere, to become the space in which you seekand nd spiritual life.

Were here for you

Im sure you are excited, but also a little appre-hensive, about beginning your rst semester atBerry College. The unknown is always at least a

little intimidating for everyone. Therefore, I wouldlike to give you a little advice on what to expect atBerry College.

College will be different from high school. Col-lege will place more demands on you academicallythan you have ever experienced before. At Berry youwill need critical thinking and writing skills. Therewill be more emphasis on tests and less on busywork. You must develop personal responsibility ifyou want to succeed at this level. And all that freetime will be youre biggest challenge, for you willhave to spend less time in class each day than in highschool, yet you will be required to spend more timein independent studyresearching and writingpapers, reading for class, reviewing your class notes.With a college education, good time management isa necessity.

But have no fear; The Academic Support Center

located on the rst oor of Memorial Library offerssupport for all Berry students in their quest for aca-demic excellence. If you nd yourself overwhelmed

and in need of study skills, time management, orother academic skills training, make an appointment

by calling 233-4080 or emailing mvancise@berry.edu. One-on-one tutorial help by student tutors forspecic courses is also available through the ASC.Simply drop by the ofce, call, or email your requestto tutoring@berry.edu.

The ASC also provides support services to indi-viduals with disabilities so that they have access to

programs, facilities, services and activities of thecollege. Unlike high school, college students mustself-identify as having a disability and provide doc-umentation of their needs from a qualied profes-sional and request services each semester. Grantingaccommodations does not mean giving studentseasier work or changing the rules to make it easierfor them than other students in the class. Collegestudents receiving accommodations must continu-ally meet relevant academic and conduct standardsto receive the protection of the Americans with Dis-abilities Act (ADA) and Resolution 504. The intentof these laws for post-secondary students is not togive them an unfair advantage over other students

but to level the playing eld so they can demon-strate their knowledge.

There is no charge for any of our services.Remember, we are here to serve all students, so if

you need some help with anything academic, dropby the ofce between 8:00 am to 5:00 pm., or call foran appointment at 233-4080.

MARTHA VAN CISEDirector of Academic Support

Center

A few tips for thrivingduring your college career

Welcome to Berry! As oneof many free support servicesoffered to students, the Berry Col-lege Writing Center is availableto help you with the writing youdo for any course. Last year, theCenter offered nearly 1,200 ses-sions for students across the dis-ciplines, from freshmen to seniorsand composition to chemistry.

The Center is staffed byfriendly, experienced peer consul-tants who have taken a course intutoring and have been success-ful writers in their own classes.They can help you with any partof the invention or drafting pro-cess: from understanding anassignment, audience, or genre

(e.g. a lab report) to brainstorm-ing and organizing ideas, to

revising for complexity and qual-ity of thought, to editing yourpaper for format and grammar.In essence, they will help you tothink through your ideas, identifypatterns and needs, and see yourpaper from the perspective of areal reader.

Typically, a student will meetwith a consultant for 20-50 min-utes (be sure to bring a copy ofyour assignment!). By the end ofthe session, you will likely leavewith a new sense of your agendaand several concrete ideas forrevision. One thing that the con-sultants do not do, however, issimply proofread papers; rather,they will help you learn proof-reading strategies as our centralgoal is to help you acquire therevision skills necessary to dowell on both current and futureassignments.

The WC is located on the

second oor of the MemorialLibrary; for current hours or to

make an appointment, go to theColleges homepage and click onWriting Center under the QuickLinks menu. And as the draft-ing and revision process for col-lege assignments is usually muchlonger and revision-based thanin high school, it is best to makeappointments early for big picturework and, perhaps, return laterfor nal editing and formattingconcerns.

Academic writing is difcultfor everyoneeven professors!precisely because it is thinkingmaterialized on the page, maderipe for re-vision, and there-fore never quite nished or per-fected. If you persevere, however,through writing you will learnmany new habits of mind andhand that will be useful long afteryouve graduated from Berry. If Ican be of assistance, email or dropmy ofce.

Best wishes for the semester!

Student Government always there for youGreetings, I would like to

welcome you back to campus!Last time we met, you guyswere learning about campuslife and what it means to

be a Berry Viking. Now,youre getting to move in to

campus, start your collegeexperience and learn how

to live away from home.As youre adjusting to your new life here at Berry College, I

would like to encourage you to start thinking about the privilegesand responsibilities that you have taken on by becoming a Berrystudent. One way to do so is to start looking for your voice to

be heard on campus. The best way for that to happen is to getinvolved with SGA!

We meet every Tuesday night at 7:00 P.M. in the KrannertBallroom. During these meetings, we have myriad ofadministrators and committees who report on the workings

of the college. They are there to let you know about manyimportant topics that will shape your college experience. Theirreports may consist of academic changes, new policies, orsimply the state of college affairs. They also are there to takequestions and hear any concerns you may have.

In addition to the committees and meetings, SGA alsoprovides services such as the Baked Goods Program, Foodfor Finals, and on campus blood drives. These are just a few

ways in which SGA gives back to the campus.Finally, I would like to encourage you to start looking at

how you can impact and change the campus for the better. Agreat way to look at doing this is through running for a positionas a class ofcer. Each class has a set of ofcers that includesa President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Each ofthese positions has a different role in helping create a classidentity through education and leadership. If youre interestedin running, be on the lookout for more information in the nearfuture.

Please feel free to stop by our ofce in Krannert 302. We havesnacks, drinks, and are happy to help you in any way we can. I

BEN RIGGSSGA President

Though it has been several decades, Istill remember vividly my rst semesteras a college student. I was enrolled in17 hours of general-education courses,chosen for me by my academic advisor.The courses ranged from ancient andmedieval history and literature toSpanish. I found them all challenging andengaging in different waysand two ofthe courses led to what would eventually

become my majors: a course in WorldReligions leading to a major in religionand philosophy, and a course in PublicSpeaking prompting a communicationmajor.

I certainly didnt expect to identify amajor as the semester began. I just wanted

to be a successful student and maintain

my academic scholarship. I heeded theadvice of my literature professor whotold the entering freshmen that we shouldspend at least twice as much time outsideof class preparing for each class as wespent in class every day. I confess thatwasnt always the case, but as I did spendtime reading assignments, practicingvocabulary, researching speeches andpapers, and prepping for exams, I foundmyself able to engage in discussions, toask appropriate questions, and to applywhat we heard in class to assignmentsoutside of class. Preparation, attentionand review: it became a workable formulafor making the most of each courseandit helped me identify the best pathwaysfor me as an undergraduate student.

In that spirit, I challenge you toengage deeply in whatever courses youare enrolled this fall term. Some may bewithin the major you are interested inpursuing. Others may be from disciplinesyou dont yet know much about, butwhich are components of Berrys general-education core. Take each course seriously,

understanding that some will build on

knowledge and skills youve alreadygained to challenge you to deepenand extend your abilities, and othersmay require you to start somethingentirely new. Some will broaden yourunderstanding of the connections acrosselds of study, and some will push youto new areas for application and practice.Such growth is not always comfortableor easy, but it will be worthwhile.

And who knows? Maybe one ormore of the courses you take this fallwill propel you on a lifelong journey oflearning and application. Maybe one ormore will conrm the interests youvehad for a long time. Maybe one or morewill challenge you to work harder thanyou thought you couldto offer yourvery best as a student. That would be agreat way to mark a new year, wouldntit?

On behalf of the faculty and staffin Academic Affairs, it is a pleasure towelcome you to the Berry community.look forward to working with you asyou learn, lead and serve over the next

Be engaged in your classes

Be Berry

Berry is a special place: It is a residentialliberal arts college. As such, it offers the bestkind of college experience. There are endlessspecial opportunities available: academic,artistic, athletic, recreational, social, leader-ship, work, and so on. You also have tre-mendous opportunities to make friends withpeople from different places, different back-grounds and different interests. All of thismeans that your time at Berry can be as richin experience as you want it to be.

Berry is extraordinary even among otherresidential liberal arts colleges. It is a placeof remarkable beauty, both natural and con-structed. It unites challenging academics

with practical work experience, in a contextthat values service that is rooted in ones faithand sense of purpose.

We invest in Berry as a residential cam-pus because we know that it affords studentsgreater opportunities and deeper friendships.Our preference is that every student live oncampus. For rst and second year students,it signicantly increases your satisfactionand your likelihood of success. For third andfourth year students, it greatly increases thelikelihood that you will give back to the nextgeneration of student something of what youreceived in you rst two years. It becomesa means of learning rsthand the satisfactionof service.

This year, we are completely full residen-tially as we begin the semester. That createssome tension as we work to assign studentsto beds as they become available. Some stu-dents and their families are still in transitionas we approach summers end, which is dif-cult for everyone since we know additional

beds will probably become available, eventhough we dont know exactly where orwhen. Being lled to capacity is a good thing

both in terms of the energy it brings to cam-pus and because it helps us keep costs down.So, while we know housing issues can befrustrating for all of us please understandthat being a highly residential campus is partof what makes Berry a special place.

My two nal words of advice: One, makethe most of Berry and your time in college. Itcan be as rich an experience as you will allowit to be. And two, the Berry you love andwant to enjoy depends on your being that

kind of person. Do your best at work andplay. Be Berry!

Maximize your experience at Berry

Utilizing the student work program

Welcome to Berry and to the new academic

year. I join others in welcoming the newmembers of our community and welcoming

back those of you for whom this is alreadyhome.

I encourage you to view your collegeexperience much as the humorist ErmaBombeck viewed life, When I stand beforeGod at the end of my life, I would hope that Iwould not have a single bit of talent left, andcould say, I used everything you gave me.

Please use everything were giving you go to class every day, read assignments,

get involved in a student organization, go tolectures and concerts and plays, play on an

intramural team, go to athletic events.Take the time to get to know the other

adults who are here they teach and workhere because they love Berry and they lovelearning and they love to help studentslearn. In addition to our outstanding facultywho teach in the classroom, some of our bestteachers will be your work supervisors. Thefaculty and staff at Berry are folks who careabout your learning and who also have muchto teach you about life.

Develop relationships with your fellowstudents; this will be the foundation forlife-long friends. Regularly read a book forpleasure. Use the hammocks. Take a walk upto the House of Dreams the walk will do yougood and the view is phenomenal. Use thetness center at the Cage.

Use your talents here. You have been givenskills and talents for a reason put them towork. Find interesting things to do, add musicand art and laughter to our campus. Learn

how to make your own fun here; its a skillthat will serve you well for a lifetime. Find at

least one way to serve stop by Berry CollegeVolunteer Services to learn about the needs inour Rome community and where your talentswill make a difference.

There are always more things happeningon this campus than you could possible do.My least favorite comment from students isthat theres nothing to do here. Theres toomuch for one person to do here. Please dontlet too many choices become a reason to donothing.

If higher education is one of the things thatwe purchase and then take advantage of muchless than we paid for, be the exception. Fouryears here goes quickly. (Ask any senior justhow fast their rst three years have gone.) Ifyou plan well now, you wont look back withregret about the things you have left undone.If you get involved from the beginning, youllquickly nd your place at Berry and nd muchto contribute here and much to love.

When you walk across the stage at

graduation, be ready to say I used everythingyou gave me. Start now.

As you arrive on campus thisfall you will see a number ofchanges with enhancements to

our already beautiful campus andwith new, exciting programs suchas football. Your premier studentwork program, whether you area returning student or a new stu-dent also continues to change and

improve to provide experiencesfor you to prepare you for lifeafter Berry, either graduate school

or your professional work expe-riences. As Stephen Covey says,begin with the end in mind and

thoughtfully plan your studentwork experiences to complimentyour academic studies and/or

provide you with experiences thatare of interest to you.

In addition to providing stu-

dent work experiences which

compliment your academic stud-

ies and/or provide you with expe-riences that are of interest to you,our goals for you also include that

your student work opportunitiesprovide you with the opportunityto manage, supervise or direct a

lessons learned to student workteams across the entire program.We believe this effort will pro-

vide you with more developmentopportunities and help make ourteams more productive. Leigh

Diggs is the student director lead-ing this latest initiative within thework program.

Berry senior scoresprestigious internship

MADI MCEVEREntertainment Editor

For many aspiring young musicians,having the opportunity to learn fromsome of the greatest lm score compos-

ers in the industry is a lofty dream. Forsenior music major Hannah Ausband, itis a reality.

Over the summer, Ausband was givethe opportunity to intern at ParamountPictures and learn about what it takes toscore lms.

Of course, major internships like thisdo not typically happen by accident.When Ausband expressed interest inthe art of scoring lms, Harry Mus-selwhite, Senior Lecturer in the MusicDepartment, connected Ausband with

John Finklea, one of the top music edi-tors in Hollywood. Finklea was able tohelp Ausband obtain an internship inthe music department at ParamountPictures.

My internship was a lot of research-ing music for movies, Ausband said.This involved reading scripts, mak-

ing potential playlists and sending themto directors and lmmakers.

It really gave me a much betterunderstanding of the lm industry andhow music is a part of that, Ausbandsaid.

Of course, it is difcult to spendseveral months in Los Angeles with-out meeting a few well-known peopleamong the music community.

The world is a much smaller placethan I thought, Ausband said.

She saw Steve Perry, lead vocalist ofthe rock band Journey, and some of the

band members from Aerosmith, amongothers.

Ausband was also given the oppor-tunity to collaborate with AustinWintory, the rst composer to win aGrammy nomination for a video gamescore. According to Ausband, workingwith Wintory and Finklea was a greatexperience.

They are incredibly talented in theirelds, but also really encouraged meand invested in me, Ausband said.

She said that her experience at Para-mount Pictures will help prepare her fora future career in score composition.

Ausband had some great advice onhow to land a great internship and keepa mindset of success.

Just know that people are valuableand everyone knows something betterthan you do, Ausband said. Valuepeople not for what they can do for you,

but what you can learn from them.

Spotify legalizes the luxury of free streaming and listening

We all remember our rst con-

cert, the goosebumps and electricenergy. Hopefully, the glow ofphones and cameras didnt blockthe view. Instead, I hope youremember what is truly impor-tant, the music.

How we listen to music hasevolved over the decades andwith a click of a mouse, the searchfor the perfect song continues.We live in a new millennium con-taining endless access to almostevery song on the planet andconsequently downgrading the

value of hard copies. Programslike Napster took the music com-munity by storm in the early2000s using peer-to-peer le shar-ing and put record companies in

constant struggle to make money.Now, hardly any college studentis willing to pay $15 for a CDwhen it can be found for free witha little bit of digging. The chal-lenge is convincing people to payfor music again, and an applica-tion as prolic as Netix is mak-ing doing so easier and betterthan piracy.

Within the past ve years, newmethods of listening developed:Rhapsody, Pandora, Songza,iHeartRadio and SoundCloud.

However, Spotify takes the bestcomponents of all applicationsand morphs them into one user-friendly database. Developed outof Stockholm, Sweden in 2008,

Spotify makes more than 20 mil-lion songs available in a matter ofseconds.

Advertisements annoy freeusers on a regular basis; but pre-mium users who never see adscan access Spotify on their smart-phone and even listen ofine.Premium users pay a monthly$10 to listen to higher qualitymusic and have exclusive contentlike pre-release albums. A sleeklook makes navigation fairly self-explanatory; simply enter the

name of an artist, album, or songin the search engine located in thetop left.

Many unique features sepa-rate Spotify from its competi-

tors. Everyday, it recommendsnew music based upon what youhave recently listened to with afeature called Discover. TheApp Finder explores applica-tions found on smart phones likeListen Language, which pro-vides 25 different languages fromhundreds of free audio classesand incorporates them directlyinto the left sidebar. TuneWikimakes learning lyrics to one ofyour new favorite song instant byscrolling through the words kara-

oke style in sync with whateversong you are playing.

Spotify is mostly known forthe ability to drag songs into aqueue and make personal play-

lists linkable to social networksand Facebook friends. Thinkof instant messaging, but withmusic. You can show off yourgood taste by sharing playlistscatered to a theme or mood.

Such a consumer friendlyapplication is revolutionizing theway we listen to music and givesartists global exposure. It is put-ting money back into the musicindustry as well. However, thereis some criticism.

Because bands get paid perplay, smaller and independentartists are not getting com-pensated enough compared toiTunes. Spotify recognizes this

and is working on the distribu-tion of royalties to better accom-modate them.

Whether you are makinga playlist to get pumped for amusic festival or staying in forthe night and petting your cat,Spotify is a necessity, especiallyin college.
