On an opening daythat brought snow andtemperatures in the low 30s,

the Flames would do justabout anything to heat up thestadium. Tat heat started onthe rst pitch o an opening

day doubleheader.One pitch in, and the Flames

had a man on rst aer SeniorBrady Renner was hit.

By the h pitch o thegame, Renner was standing onthird base aer having stolen

second and third.Opening Day did not slow

down or the team. Junior JoshSilver hit an RBI single to drivein Renner, and that started a

seven-run rst inning in whichthe Flames batted around theorder.

It was a cold and bitter day,and I was really pleased with

how we came out and playedand the mental toughness o

our team, Flames coach MarkBrew said.Te Flames led the way with

their starting pitching.Junior pitchers Myles Smith

and Clint erry started the twogames, respectively.

Smith, whose pitches topped

out in the mid-90s, pitchedour innings and gave up one

hit. erry started the secondgame and pitched ve inningswithout allowing a hit.

Te pitching sta as a wholegave up one run in each gameand only allowed seven hits onthe day.

We get ahead with the

astball and get a lot o rstpitch strikes, erry said.

While, according toerry, the pitching sta wasdominant compared to otherNAIA schools, the hitting wasnot something to look over.

didnt make it to Hollywoodthree years ago. oday, he is

a contestant on season 12.When he was sent home,

he decided he would never

try out again.Every singer takes that

stu personally, Flynn said

o his irst experience withIdol.

It was a trip to Disneyworld

or Flynn and his wie Ashleystwo-year anniversary that

brought him back.he theme park whose

mantra is where dreamscome true hosts a dailycompetition, he American

Idol Experience, where guestscan audition and compete ina smaller simulation o thepopular V program.

he winner o the

competition receives aront-o-the-line pass calleda dream ticket to a regionalaudition or the real show.

When I saw the big line

or [he American IdolExperience], I thought it wasa ride, Flynn said.

When he realized that it

was an actual competition,he decided to give it a whirl.And he won.

However, Flynns dreamticket was not an auditionpass or the upcomingAmerican Idol season, but

or the one ater that.Instead o waiting until

then to audition, Flynnsamily, whom he described as

the deinition o suppor tive,encouraged him to go aheadand audition online or the

upcoming season.

Flynn sent a recording o

himsel singing Lean onMe to American Idol on

the last day open or onlinesubmissions. Lean on Mewas the ballad he perormedat he American Idol

Experience, where the judgestold him that i he auditionedor the show, that was the

song he needed to sing.It was just a perect it,

Flynn said.

About a month later, Flynngot a call rom American Idol,and the rest is history.

Now hes got whatAmerican Idol calls a golden

ticket to Hollywood.Although Flynn said he was

excited and nervous both othe times he tried out or

Idol, he said that this timethe excitement outweighedthe nervousness.

[I I dont win] Ive got agreat lie to come home to,Flynn said. I am praying,Lord, i you can receive gloryand honor, Im going to go as

ar as I can.Flynns aith has played

a major part in his lie andhis music. While at Lee, he

majored in pastoral ministriesand was a member o CampusChoir. Ater graduating in

July 2010, he took a job as

a music pastor in ipp City,Ohio. He said his goal is to

inspire people.Christians get a bad rap,

Flynn said. I want to show

people that you can be in the

world but not o the world.Flynn is not the irst student

rom Lee to be a contestant

on American Idol. He is

ollowing in the ootsteps oJermaine Puriory, who made

it through several roundsin season 9 beore beingeliminated.

Puriory said that he and

Flynn graduated together,and Flynn recently contactedPuriory to tell him that he

was on the show again.Caleb and I have always

been very supportive andappreciative o each otherstalent, Puriory said. I told

him not to pray that he wouldwin, but to pray about whathis assignment is. God has areason or him to be on theshow.

Society is launching as anew club on campus thisspring semester or aspiringlmmakers and those who loveto discuss lm.

Je Salyer, associate directoro video production service,had the vision to start the lm

club, but it took some time orit to come to ruition.

I would love to see lmscreenings on campus where

we bring in directors andproducers and do campusevents where we have lmscreenings, Salyer said abouthis vision or the club.

Salyer said one o the mainchallenges was that it took awhile to nd students who

wanted to start the group.When Salyer mentioned his

idea to Daniel Howat, now thelm societys president, he was

interested and began takingthe steps necessary towardbuilding the club, such ascreating a constitution andgetting more students onboard.

hough they met lastsemester, this is their irst

ocial semester.Salyer expressed that he

has long term goals or thesociety that include having

proessionals meet withthe society, having variousscreenings and helping studentlie with the lm estival.

While the society serves asa place or lm discussion andcriticism, Howat also said he

thinks it serves as a community

or people who love lms anddesire to make them.

We want to please bothpeople who enjoy watching

lm and also people who areaspiring lmmakers, Howatsaid.

Axel Arzola, the societystreasurer, said the purposeo the society is to build acommunity around lm and

all the people who like it.

he City Harmonic, aCanadian worship band,kicked o the rst U-Churchor the spring semester.

Josh York, director oacilities, said many students

requested to have the bandcome play at Lees chapel.

Tose who attended wereurged to bring a canned ooddonation item to support theFood Bank.

Front man Elias Dummersaid that Te City Harmonic

wants what they do and themusic they write to be a sparkthat encourages people to digdeeper.

God takes little things we

do and makes a big thing oit, Dummer said.

For guitarist Aaron Powell,the best part o being in the

band and creating worshipmusic is getting to hear thestories people tell about how

much their music meant tothem.

Its just something you

dont expect, when someone

comes up to you and says Youreally helped me through asickness, or we threw them ourCD, and it gave them strengthto recover or a reason to leavean abusive relationship, Powellsaid.

he City Harmonic isbest known or their songManiesto. Te band wrotethe song ater becominginvolved in a movementin their hometown wherechurches come togetherto impact poverty in theircommunity.

Many students rushed intothe Conn Center on Jan. 27aer waiting outside in thecold or the doors to open.Te crowd lled the seats romront to back and participatedby liting hands, clapping,shouting and singing along.

Senior empest Melvin said

she appreciates the balance theband brought. She said theywere doing what they loved

or the one they love.Tey had a good balance

between having a concert and

having worship. A lot o times,

people will have a concertand make the worship songsconcert-like and ocused onthem, but I elt like they did

a good job with that, Melvinsaid.

Several students also saidthey appreciated the visualartistry o the show.

I liked how they had thedrums painted and the guitarwith the lyrics on them,reshman Jake Moats said.

For sophomore LucasAguiar, the beauty o thenight was being able to hearLee students singing.

My avorite part about itwas the acoustic set. I loved itwhen they broke down rom

the typical ramework o whatthe concert usually is and you

just got to hear the voices,Aguiar said.

Michael Freake, associate

proessor o biology, won theState Wildlie Action Plan

Partnership Award or hisresearch with the Hellbenderto be presented this March atthe congressional reception in

Washington, D.C., RecoveryPartnership.

In 2004, Freake startedh a n d s - o n r e s e a r c h

and recovery work orhellbenders, a decliningspecies o large aquatic

salamanders. Decliningspecies are not endangeredbut are threatened andmay be heading towards

endangerment.Many Lee students have

participated in Freakes workwith hellbenders in their

biology and environmentalscience classes over the pastcouple o years.

Lee University worked

together with Middleennessee State University,the Nashville Zoo andothers to orm the ennessee

Hel lbend er Reco very Partnership.Chair o the Department

o Natural Sciences andMathematics at Lee PaulDeLaLuz said that amphibian

species such as hellbendersare the irst to eel pressures opollution and other harmulimpacts on the environment.

When you see it t here, its

a good test to see what were

doing to our environmentwere trying to protect,

DeLaLuz said. I its aectingthem, it will eventually aectus, too.

wo years ago, there wasa decision or some o theennessee State Wildlie

grant unds to be spent onhellbenders.

We were very excitedabout that, Freake said. We

had not had any state undingup until that point.

ennes s ee Wi ld l i e

Resources Agencys Chie oBiodiversity Bill Reeves wascoordinator or the grant. Hecontacted those who were

interested in the project todiscuss the dierent aspectso hellbender recovery.

Freake said each part o thegroup has a speciic area o

ennessee and speciic ocus

in the project.Surveying the hellbender

population was the irst step.

Freake said Brian Miller

rom MSU had surveyedinormation or the eastern

hellbender rom the 1980sand 1990s that gave them thehistory o the population orcomparison.

he Nashville Zoo tookpart in the reproductivetechnology and workedtoward successully breeding

the species in captivity. heyalso coordinated disease

testing in hellbenders orRanavirus and Chytridungus, two diseases that arethreatening amphibians.

Freakes ocus was ieldworkand genetics. His groupcollected tissue samples romevery hellbender that wascaught and ran DNA analysis

on the samples.he analysis showed

genetic diversity that allowed

them to investigate possibleproblems such as inbreeding.It also helped them see which

populations were moreclosely genetically related toothers.

Freake said that i there isa declining population, you

want to try to rescue it bymoving individuals rom anearby river to supplementthedeclining population because

the hellbenders need to besimilar genetically.

Freake collaborated withresearcher Steven Spear

rom the Orianne Societywho helped him withgenetic analysis. Freake

used environmental DNAtesting, developed by Spear,in which hellbender DNA canbe ound in water samplesto determine their presence

in the body o water beingtested.

he two things that I thinkreally got this award werethe DNA and reproductive

technology, Freake said. hewhole point o this award

is promoting partnershipsbetween state agencies andthe partner organizations like

Lee University, MSU andthe Nashville Zoo.

Vice President o AcademicAairs Carolyn Dirksen said

that it is a high honor orLee that the group won the

nationally recognized award.

Dirksen said that Freakehas always promoted researchwith students by teachingthem how to do research inthe ield in a practical waywith integrity.

Hes very careul tomentor students, and he

does a wonderul job othat, Dirksen said. hats

really important to us as aninstitution.

Although many studentschoose to leave the dorm andrent homes and apartments

in the Cleveland area every

semester, living o-campus

can pose inancial challenges,and some students becomeless involved on campus.

Moving o-campus canpose its unique challenges,such as signing a lease,paying rent, utilities, cable

and internet bills and beingresponsible or maintenanceconcerns that ar ise, AssistantDirector o Housing Morgan

VanNorman said.hough many students

say it is cheaper to move o-campus, they may not take

into consideration payingutilities, rent, cable or extramoney on gas to commute.

While it might seem

that you can save money bymoving o, there are many

hidden costs to keep track owhen making this decision,VanNorman said.

However, VanNormanagreed that there are beneitsto paying your own bills

because it teaches studentsresponsibility by throwingthem into the real world.

One o the main challengesis being able to manage your

own inances and schedule,junior ravis Harrison said.

Financial concerns arenot the only concerns orstudents living o-campus.Some students say they eel

more disconnected romcampus, and it takes moreeort to remain a part o theLee community.

here has always beenconsistent eedback rom

prior students that havemoved o-campus thatstaying connected to theuniversity is always achallenge, VanNorman said.

H a r r i s o n s h a r e s

VanNormans view sayingthat there is deinitely a

disconnect living ocampus.

However, VanNorman

said that students can avoideeling disconnected by

joining club s on campusand getting involved with

the community.Im very involved with

my church in Chattanooga,Harrison said, Greek clubs

are still available to o-campus students and also,being a music student in achoral ensemble has really

helped.Not all students eel they

are disconnected rom

Jennier Wells, a 23-year-

old student, is making

charcoal portraits to raisemoney or a three-monthcross-cultural trip to Israel.

She is travelling withSERVENazareth, a program

based in a hospital inNazareth, Israel.

My passion is the youth,

showing them the love o

God and empowering themto be the kingdom o God intodays world, Wells said.

Wells learned how to draw

with charcoal sticks in an

art class she took at Lee. Shesaid that her avorite partabout using the charcoal ishow messy and unique the

portraits can be.It reminds me so much o

lie and how God works. Its

making beauty rom a mess,and I adore that, Wells said.

Wells decided to use hergit o charcoal drawing toreceive donations or her

mission trip. She is sellingsmall pictures or $15,mediums or $25 and larges

or $35.Wells, a youth ministry

major, will be serving in ourdierent placements in Israel.he irst two placements will

be in a psychiatric ward tohelp care or the patients.

Ater serving in thehospital, Wells will be placedin a Nazarene village to learnmore about the culture o the

people she has been learningabout in her Bible classes.

he village is set in biblical

times, so people can get anaesthetic appeal to what theyhave read in the people andwhat they see and be ableto make the connectionsbetween the two, Wells said.

Beore deciding to sell herdrawings, Wells thought omultiple ways to undraise.Her irst instinct was to start

a Facebook page.On her page, she explained

her situation and asked ordonations. his tactic didnot work the best, so Wells

decided to use her talentinstead.

A lesson that I have learnedis that people will always like

the cause, but orget that they

need to give to the cause. I

had many people like mystatuses about my page and

my mission trip, but only two

people actually gave to the

cause, Wells said.Wellss trip to Nazareth will

cost $5,000. his includes herroom and board, two meals a

day, round-trip light and any

travel expenses the programentails or the ull threemonths.

o support her trip and

purchase a drawing, contact

Wells through Facebook or byemail ([email protected].)

All o the proceeds will gotowards the mission trip.

Every morning, the alarmclock goes o at 4:30 a.m. inBill and Billie Hains home.

his is necessary or theirmorning routine as they

have to gather groceriesand supplies, drive acrosstown and prepare to open

Gardeners Market by 7 a.m.I like what I do. Its not

work to me. I dont comedown here and think Wellgee, I have to do this one

more day, Bill said. I comedown here with the attitude,I get to do this one more

day.his all, however, the

alarms will be set or much

later, as the couple is endingtheir journey with Gardenersand selling their store to

embrace the lie o retirement.Bills positive attitude

surrounding his marketdidnt start just when heopened the local storeront;

its been in h is amilys bloodsince the Hain amily irst

opened a Gardeners Marketin Michigan in 1842.

Ater 171 years, somethings have changed such

as the location, but thesimplistic business principles

and community mindednessrom the original store are

still prevalent.he Hains have served

the Cleveland downtownor 21 years. Students and

community members aredrawn to the restaurant or

the ood, beverages, service

and eclectic environment

the Hains have crated.

Although the couple isusually exhausted by the end

o the day, both said they havethoroughly enjoyed everymoment o it.

Bills training or his uture

began at six-years-old,standing on a chair at the

sink to wash dishes.When he was 17, his amily

loaded him on a train inChicago and shipped himo to school in New Orleans.

Beore boarding the train,his amily told him, Goodluck. Remember what youcome rom, and dont get

yoursel into something youcant get out o.

In 1992, Bill sojournedto Cleveland ater yearsmaking a lot o money or

other people.It was time or his own

adventure. Over two decades

later, hes an active member othe Chamber o Commerce,

has a substantial amounto disposable income and

builds relationships with thestudents that wander overrom Lee University just a

ew blocks away.Clevelands been good

or Gardeners, and I hopeGardeners has been good or

Cleveland, Bill said, crackinga smile.

I he could go back to 1992and tell himsel one thing, itwould be this: You shouldhave been here sooner.

While Cleveland is stillwondering about the uture

o the small market, Bill is inthe same boat.

Bill does not know whowill buy Gardeners Market,but he hopes the new ownerwill simply build upon whatsalready there.

As or Bill and Billie, theywill most likely continue to

travel the world, but dontexpect them to leave orever;they deinitely plan on

sticking around Cleveland.

his is my home. his iswhere my pets are buried,

Bill said as he looked out thewindow.

His eyes gazed on BroadStreet, and with a smile, he

said, I wouldnt wanna beanywhere else.

Its nearly midnight, andyoure cramming or that

biology test tomorrow. Youreat IHOP, slurping down the

coee and nibbling on thosepancakes, trying to absorb as

much inormation as possiblebeore you speed back downPaul Hu in an attempt to

make that campus curew.Lee doesnt have an

alternative to IHOP or

Dennys, two locations thatare open 24 hours a day,though the possibility hasbeen on the administrationsradar.

he main concern is thecampus-wide curew.

In the past, the curew o

12 a.m. on weekdays and 1a.m. on weekends applied toall students regardless o their

classiication.People were moving o

campus in droves to get awayrom curew and we werelosing a sense o community,

so we made it only applicableto reshmen students, Deano Students Alan McClung

said.While the student

handbook does not include

a campus curew or

upperclassmen, ResidentialLie asks students to be backin their dorm by 3 a.m. I

they are not, saety concernsmay be addressed, MorganVanNorman o Res Lie said.

he hectic schedules

o student lie sometimesmandate that the wee hourso the morning are the only

viab le study time , but nocampus location is open past

2 a.m.Opening a 24-hour

location like the library orthe Paul Conn Student Unionwould necessitate nearly eightextra hours o operating time.

While the students may bestudying, the campus-wide

curew could prevent themrom ully taking advantage

o the locations.Despite the curew, Hayes

said that the move to have a24-hour location on campushas been considered.

He explained that issues

such as sta and the waystudents would utilizethe location need to be

considered beore Lee mightprogress in developing thevenue.

But the university seems

to be stuck in a stalwartconsidering the idea.

I made that pitch to Lee

a long time ago, and it didntgo anywhere ast, McClungsaid.

McClung said he is

certainly not opposed toa location on campus thatwould be open 24/7.

Students are up all night

anyway, McClung said.here are students whoneed work, and I think a loto students would volunteerto work in the library andcoee shop.

Vice President or StudentDevelopment Mike Hayesalso said he is up or the idea.However, he speculated thatthe introduction o a 24-hour

location on campus wouldnot abolish the campuscurew.

We would probably

establish a system where aperson would receive sometype o card saying that astudent was there until a

certain time, and it wouldbe veriied by the person

working there, Hayes said.

his would in turn bechecked back with Res Lie.

McClung added thatthe best way to go aboutimplementing a 24-hourlocation on Lees campus

is through the voice o thestudents.

he students are talking.he convenience o a 24-

hour location on campuswould provide the resourcesnecessary or students to

study.A lot o people d ont have

cars and cant leave campus,especially international

students, Sheila Murungisaid.

Senior John Morris pointed

out another hindrance thatcomes rom not having sucha location.

Guys cannot meet with

girls and vice versa, Morrissaid. I there was a groupproject, it couldnt be worked

on past 12 a.m.he students could work

an additional two hours ithey were in the lobby o theCurtsinger Music Building,which is open until 2 a.m.

hese hours have beenmaintained or several yearswithout security issues.

We have monitors that weemploy that are here untilmidnight, William Green,

the Dean o the School oMusic, said. Ater midnight,campus saety walks throughthe building several times

until 2 a.m.With success in operating

the extended hours in themusic building, could the

campus easibly open a 24-hour location?

suggestions. 1.Movie bash: Stay in, heatup the popcorn and invite thegirls/guys over or an eveningo your avorite movies.hose soppy romances might

induce misery, so I suggesthitting up the comedy sectiono RedBox or Netlix. 2.Bowling: Get up out o

your PJs and make a date

with your riends at the localbowling alley. Rock it like its1953, grab a pizza and let the

bowling competition begin. 3.Go dancing: Wh odoesnt like to go dancing?

here are plenty o venuesin Chattanooga where youcan dance. However, i yourebroke like us, just turn upyour avorite jams and let the

crazy dance moves begin.

4.Stay at home spa: I noone besides Jesus is showingyou some love on ValentinesDay, love yoursel! Break outthe ace cream, nail polishand junk ood or some good

quality relaxation. Nothingsays I love you, better thancookies and milk. 5.Geocaching: For those oyou who have never heard ogeocaching, youve seriously

been missing out. Its the21st century version o atreasure hunt. Geocachingworks by using GPS-enabled

devices that let you navigateto speciic coordinates inthe Cleveland area and thenattempt to ind the hidden

geocache. Embrace yourinner pirate and ind thatbooty. 6. Go shopping: So maybe

you dont have a signiicantother, but that doesnt meanyou cant be treated to someancy new digs. What betterway to spend your time andmoney than at HamiltonPlace, not to mention the

boutiques lining North Shoreand Frazier Ave.? 7. Wing and game night:I cant orget about our

amazing gentlemen. I you

dont have a girl to take out,grab the guys and head to

Bualo Wild Wings. hisyear, Valentines Day landson Boneless Wings hursday,which means your avorite

nuggets are 50 cents each.hats eight activities that

break the norm, so dont sulk

when the 14th rolls around.Share it with your riendsbecause in all reality, youare never alone. Make thisValentines Day one you willnever orget.

Alright, I cannot orgetabout my lovely couples

out there. Other than youranniversary, Valentines is one

day you can make your boy/girlriend eel special.Planning or V-day can be

a headache and a hal. Wegirls are always expecting

something more excitingthan last year, and the guys

are trying to avoid debt andpossibly indentured servitudeto impress their emalecompanions.

Here are some cheap

and easy ways to spend aspecial evening together on

a student-riendly budget.1. Love scavenger hunt:

Make a scavenger hunt oryour boy/girlriend to searchor little clues that will lead

them to a romantic dinner.ake them down memorylane and place clues in spotsthat have a special moment

attached to it.

2. Roller skating: Keep itcheap and casual; go to the

local skating rink on Candies

Lane near I-75. Beore the21st century, roller skatingwas one o the top twodate ideas, alongside that

darkened theater. hese days,skating isnt as common, so

try something dierent andtake your signiicant other on

an old-school date.

3. Dinner and a movie:Oh, the classic dinner and amovie. his is the numberone traditional date sincethe beginning o the movingpicture in the early 20th

century. Cleveland is nowhome to a brand new movie

theater at the Bradley Square

Mall, so what better day tocheck it out than the day

o love? Spend an eveninggetting to know each otherat a restaurant o her choice,then inish the night o with

an amazing Hollywood ilm. 4. Picnic: For you hopelessromantics out there who love

to be outdoors and away romall the commotion, this is thetip or you. reat the love

o your lie to a romanticcandle-lit picnic near theOcoee River. Create a cheapbut thoughtul meal to packup and take with you. Grab

some candles rom the dollar

store to romanticize theevening with your one andonly. Set up a delightul meal

right beside the beautiulOcoee River and enjoy thebreathtaking view with your

date.5. Reenact your first date:ake your signiicant otherback to where you ell or each

other. Here is a little hint orthe ellows: girls love it whenyou remember details rom

your irst date. ake her on

a journey back to your irst

date and show her that youllnever orget that special time

in your relationship.

6. Classic flowers andcandy: Show him/her youwere thinking about them

with lowers and their avoritecandy. Nothing is sweeterthan sending a git just to

say I love you. Remember,its not the big things, but th e

little things that will makeValentines Day special.

here are so many ways

you can make this Valentines

Day special; all it takes is alittle imaginative thinking

with your heart.

he university caeteriawas buzzing with people.

One 22-year-old, who

looked very dierent romthe university students eatingand talking, made his way

over to a table, speciicallyto talk to two guys seatedthere. He was accompanied

by a local man because hecould not speak t he countrys

language.He was risking a lot talking

to these two students. Beyondthe diiculty o the language

barrier, he had no way oknowing how they would

react. h e a n t i c i p a t e d

conversation began and ater some time shitedtowards religious rights. Out

o nowhere, one o the menat the table announced in a

Middle Eastern accent, I

wish that you would convertto Islam.

hat was the opportunity

Cheyton Flanigan was

seeking. Let me tell you why

I wont, he replied.Flanigan, a Lee University

student, co-led a 10-weekmissions trip to Amman,Jordan, with the AntiochCenter or raining and

Sending School a ministryo the International Houseo Prayer Mission Base oKansas City, Mo. while

taking the all semester orom classes at Lee. He and

six other young people livedin Jordan or the programs

outreach phase ater threemonths o ACS trainingbeginning in July.

[]he Gospel was pushed,

i nothing else, an incharther unto the end o theage, Cheyton said. hat was

the worth o this trip.Spreading Christianity in

the Middle East, however,is much dierent than in

the West. Even thoughChristianity is legal ,according to the US StateDepartment, it is illegal

or Jordanian Muslims toconvert.

Evangelism in that kindo context is so dierent

very relational, veryconversational, Cheyton

said. People wont convertin a group context.

Flanigan highlighted thestark contrast between whatnew Christians in the U.S.

and in Jordan experienceater conversion.

In America, new convertsmay ace some heckling

and decide to give up oldhabits, while Jordanianconverts have to completely

change their ways o lie,orsaking everything theyknew about spirituality,risking excommunicationor threats on their lives rom

amily members, and acingdiscrimination rom the

government.he things that Jesus said

become their [JordanianChristians] very reality in away that is hard to experiencehere in America, Flanigansaid. It is everything; it is

their entire lie.For Flanigan, ollowing

the call o Christ involvedsome sacriice o his own:

six months o his lie.

When he went to IHOP-KC in July 2012, Flanigan

was planning to sta oneo the ministrys summerinternships. He decided toattend the ACS schools irstteaching session and, he said

it was in that service he heardthe voice o God call him toaction.

I heard the Lord speak soclearly, and he said, Dropeverything and do ACS,Cheyton said. It was so

unexpected; it reaked meout!

He said he gave God anultimatum: he would not

even consider the ACSSchool unless he got a directinvitation rom one speciicriend and ACS missionary,

as well as rom Brian Kim,the programs ounder anddirector.

Later that night, both mentogether asked him to co-leadthe Jordan trip, and Flanigantook that as his sign to devotehis semester to the schools

six-month program.he Middle East had

already been important to

Flanigan even beore theJordan opportunity, but

this trip held very distinctspiritual signiicance to him.

Jordan meant a lot tome personally because Ielt this kind o Joshua

calling, Flanigan said.When the people o Israelwere wandering through thedesert, they were wanderingpartly in the modern day lando Jordan. ... I thought, this isrom the Lord.

he ACS School ocusesits eorts on reaching the10/40 Window. According

to Joshua Project, a researchministry o the U.S. Center

or World Mission, the 10/40Window is an area o extremepoverty and hostility to

Christianity largely locatedbetween the 10 and 40degrees latitude.

In the capital city o

Amman, the group o ACSmissionaries mainly workedwith a ministry o young

people in a local church.Flanigan and his riends

taught this group about the

Bible and about the principle

o prayer.[]hrough my weakness

and, at times, my sinulness,[God] used me, and he usedour team, and he bore ruit

through us, Cheyton said.And lives will never be the

same because o it.Ater he graduates this July,

he plans on taking part inanother six-month program,

but he anticipates eventuallycommitting to two years o

language-learning overseas

beore living in the MiddleEast as an intercessorymissionary or an extended

period o time.He is dedicated to his

cause o sharing the Gospel,like that time he shared his

story with the two men inthe university caeteria. His

inal words to those studentsspeak o his commitment towhat he believes to be a callon his lie.

And thats why I will never,

ever turn rom Christ.

For those o you who arebusiness majors and get excitedabout analyzing trends, this

article is or you.For those o you who pay

no attention whatsoeverto the market, stocks andcommodities, perhaps youwill nd the ollowing rather

interesting.Not since October 2007,

when George W. Bush was stillin ofce, had the Dow JonesIndustrial Average reachedwhat it did on Feb. 1: it closed

on Friday at 14,009.79.What does this mean?How did this happen?For one thing, payroll

employment went up 157,000total people this past month,

despite the unemployment rategoing rom 7.8 percent to 7.9percent.

However, the ourth quartero 2012 was quite a strong one.

According to the U.S.Bureau o Labor Statisticsand the Economist, privateemployment increased twopercent during this time.

It was a time when theprivate sector wasnt bickeringconstantly about what to do

next, which is exactly whatCongress is doing right now.

What am I trying to say?Could it be President Obama

is doing a good job with the

private sector?

Some healthcare stocks areon the rise, but that isnt all othe story.

Facebook shares are notdoing exceptionally well, but

whats new? Te premise osuch a perormance in themarketplace is that it exhibitshuman nature better when it

is ree.My, that sounds like a

dangerous statement doesnt it?

Youre correct; it does.Te ideas concerning howthe market can best unction

is like a two-way street withpeople crashing into each otherall the time.

However, i more regulationsare placed to stricken theactions o people in thiscontext, it might not do as wellas it has been perorming olate.

Yes, tax hikes have come inwith the presidents secondterm.

However, the spendingcuts and the controlling debtdiscussions are still on thetable. Tey will always be on

the table because Congress, asa whole, seems to not knowwhat exactly is the best idea.

Now, there have been ideasproposed by senators andcongressman alike, to get the

GDP to spending ratios downto a reasonable level in orderto control our debt.

However, with thedemocratic control o theSenate, it will be quite difcultto have a piece o legislation gothrough which cuts spendingas much as Republicans want.

Te people involved in the

private sector your everydayperson know what they

want, and that is job creation.Only in the coming monthswill we see a deal be struckwhere both sides agree on abipartisan piece o legislationthat will begin to control the

debt more than it has been inthe recent past. When a dealis made, perhaps job growth

numbers will begin to lookeven better.

Eric MillerLiberal Columnist

New talks with Iran arebeing planned aer Iran hasannounced plans to increase

their uranium enrichmentprogram despite continuedtalks and sanctions.

Since I have taken the pro-talking and sanctions side o

dealing with Iran in the past, Ieel that I should address thesenew developments.

First, I still think weshould hold o on militaryengagement and go ahead withthe upcoming talks, assuming

Iranian leadership agrees.While military action cannotbe removed as an option, ewpossible events in oreignpolicy would be worse than awar with Iran right now.

Te negative perception o

a U.S./Israel bombing o Iran,which would almost certainlybe the case i the situationcomes to violence, will be alarge blow to our dealings withMiddle Eastern states.

Also, the idea that nothingshort o military orce willaect the leaders o Iran and

that Iran is an irrational actorbent on Israeli destruction have

troubling logical conclusions.I Irans leadership is crazy

enough to reuse all diplomaticsolutions to the point o beingbombed, then they will becrazy enough to respond to the

bombing by declaring war onIsrael.

I do not need to explain howbad that hypothetical situationwould be.

Second, we should be moreselective in setting up thesetalks and more restrictive inour sanctions.

I Iran is not serious aboutpursuing a diplomatic solution,then the talk is a waste o time.

Tat previous sentence maysound sel-contradictorycoming rom me, but Igenuinely believe Iran isinterested in talking through asolution, as opposed to havingtheir inrastructure blown up.

Whatever else can be saidabout it, the government oIran is rational and does not

want large percentages o itspeople to die, in my opinion.

Finally, I am worried.I have supported and still

support a non-interventionapproach to Iran, but that routeis becoming less secure.

Even I admit that we cannot

take military action o thetable (though I would like to),and the administration has saidits goal is not containment. I

am worried that diplomacyis unlikely enough to justiy

military action in the majoritysminds.

Te chance that we mightgo ahead with military actionbeore it is necessary is toohigh in my mind.

I hope I am wrong aboutthat.

Intramurals have become astaple extra-curricular activityor many students and evensome Lee sta members.

Intramurals provide students

with an opportunity or a breakaer a long day o classes. Teyalso provide a way or studentsto stay physically active.

Troughout this semesterthere will be severalcompetitive leagues consistingo numerous sports or Leestudents to be involved in.

Our league sports thissemester are basketball andindoor volleyball, which

started this week, and soballand outdoor soccer whichcommence ater Springbreak, Director o IntramuralSports Eric Eledge said.

Along with the league sports,Eledge said that there will alsobe many tournaments orvarious other sports scheduledthroughout the semester.

With basketball and indoorvolleyba ll cranking up, weare taking a break rom thetournaments until thosesports slow down and theweather heats up, Eledge said.

Intramural tournaments willbe held or ultimate Frisbee,sand volleyball and gol later

in the semester. Along with

these tournaments, othertournaments throughout the

semester will include the NetNight events o wallyball,

pickleball and tennis.here are also plans to

continue the recently createddorm leagues, which were rststarted a year ago to allow dormresidents across campus tocompete against one another.

Weve had mixed resultsconcerning the ormationo the dorm leagues, saidEledge. Our primarygoals were to provide a

spark or additional dormparticipation and to level thecompetition or those dorms.

Despite the mixed reactionrom the dorm leagues, Eledgesaid that the number o studentsin general participating in

intramurals has been steadyand he has been pleased withthe amount o involvement.

Whether you love the

competitive nature that comesrom playing sports or arelooking to rekindle the glory

days rom playing in highschool, intramurals could oer

just what youre looking or.More inormation on

league schedules and dateso tournaments can be oundat Lee University Intramural

Students have boasted that

the university ootball team

has been undeeated since1918. It might be time or thatcatch phrase to die out.

he school has begunholding meetings to discussthe possibility o adding aootball program.

Football at Lee has beena topic o discussion amongstudents throughout theyears. With the possibility o itbecoming a reality, excitement

has ignited campus.Kalen Johnson, an athletic

training major, said that aootball team could benetLee in several ways, evenacademically.

I think that the possibilityo Lee getting a ootball teamis exciting. From an athletictraining perspective, well geta lot more experience, andthe athletic department will

denitely grow and see a loto changes, Johnson said.I also think that Lee wouldattract more people. I had aton o riends in high school

that were interested in Leeuntil they ound out that theydidnt have ootball.

Te buzz about Lee addinga ootball program arose onwitter aer a Paul Conn tweetin April 2012.

Are we ready or ootball at

Lee? Ive always said no butmaybe its now time to take aresh and serious look at the

question, Conn tweeted.Te rumors and excitement

picked up steam severalmonths later when Lee wasofcially accepted to join the

NCAA Division II or athletics.Along with Johnson, many

other students agree that aootball team would create

more excitement and passionor the school.

I think it would be awesomeor Lee to have a ootball team,junior Jonathan Wynne said.

I think that it would benetthe school by helping to keepmore students at school on theweekends to watch the games.It could bring some energy tothe campus.

While adding ootball could

have several advantages, it alsoposes some drawbacks.Having a ootball team

would totally change Leesatmosphere, Johnson said.Here, soccer and rugby and

other sports get the attentionand the an base. I think its

exciting that these are our go-to sports. I wouldnt want to

detract rom that.Despite the pros and cons o

having a ootball team, many

students will be looking out orthe latest news in the comingmonths regarding the additiono ootball.

A panel o Lee proessors, astudent and alumni have begunmeeting to discuss the topic oadding a ootball program.

Until the panel reaches adecision, students can stillenjoy the distinction o their

ootball team being undeeated

since 1918.

From our straightnational championships bythe womens soccer team,

to six straight trips to theNAIA World Series by thebaseball team, to the mensand womens basketballteams currently rankedNo. 2 and 6 in the countrythis season, athletics atLee have reached a level osuccess like never beore.

Athletes are excellingin the c lassroom.

According to a recentreport released by FlamesAthletic Director LarryCarpenter, Flames athleteshave graduated at a higher

rate than the rest o Leepeers, and higher thanthe national average.

he report also statedthat Lees student athleteshave attained an overallhigher GPA than therest o the student body.

Carpenter said that the

entire athletic departmentaverages a 3.14 comparedto the university averageo 3.11. Athletes alsograduate at a 20 percenthigher rate than their peers.

Carpenter said that there

are a number o actorsthat have contributed tothe success o studentathletes academically.

Te coaches do a good

job o stressing academicsto their athletes andmonitoring their progress

in the classroom, Carpentersaid. Te proessors play a

big part in this. Tey llout progress sheets on ourathletes allowing the coachesto see how they are doing andalso work with our athletes

when they have to missdue to an athletic contest.

Aside rom the eortput orth by coaches andproessors, academicscholarships have alsoproven to play a major role

or success in the classroom.Several o our student

athletes are on academicscholarships and areworking hard to maintainthem to help with the costo attending Lee, Carpenter

said. A common perceptionthroughout the country isthat most student athletes are

on large athletic scholarships,and that is not always the case.Tats why many o them areso ocused on their grades.

Whether it is on the athleticeld or in the classroom,the student athleteslook to be competitive.
