    Conn returned to Lee as ayoung teacher while pursu-ing writing on the side, usu-ally spending his weekendstraveling and working on hiswriting career. Conn had a

    passion or writing and ad-mitted that his lie goal wasto be a writer.

    prior has simply prepared me orthis place.Paul Conn

    FacingFamines

    By Megan GobbleStaff [email protected]

    Families and individuals areon the road to recovery rom thetragic storms that came throughthe area earlier this year.

    Assistant Proessor o Com-munication Christie Kleinmanns

    neighborhood was almost com-pletely demolished by the storms.he Kleinmanns received a tre-mendous amount o help romthe community, Lee students,American Red Cross and localchurches.

    As ar as my house goes,we are still inishing up somethings, Kleinmann said. But weare in good shape.

    Kleinmann said that therewere several houses that wereleveled during the storms thathave now been rebuilt.

    Its un seeing everything be-ing rebuilt ater the destruction[and to witness] the renewal olie and [see] people return, clos-er than they were beore, Klein-mann said.

    Kleinmanns amily is workingon the siding o her house andinding window screens. heirrecovery is coming close to com-pletion.

    Senior Erin Ownbey is alsorecovering rom the disaster.

    It was the irst time I reallysaw our community come to-gether or a tragedy like this,Ownbey said. It was very im-pactul and powerul to me. Peo-ple who didnt even know us justcame and asked how they couldhelp.

    Ownbey said that she isthankul or all the help her am-ily received rom the community.

    Ater three months o living in

    a hotel, Ownbeys amily is backin their house.

    Volunteers rom the sur-rounding community joinedKleinmann, Ownbey and count-less others to help sweep up de-bris, look or belongings, cutdown and remove trees and sup-ply ood and water to victims othe storm.

    Patty Silverman, associate

    proessor o public relations, puttogether a group o volunteersrom the Department o Com-munication Arts and workedwith her church to help individu-als who suered rom the storms.

    It was such a blessing to beable to go out and show Christslove in action and just makesomeone eel a little better thatday, knowing that someonecared, Silverman said.

    Sophomore Jilli Ellis was alsogreatly impacted by the storms.

    Ater hearing about Ellissneed, Silverman emailed the stu-dents in her class and asked themto help aid the Ellis amily. Whenthe volunteers arrived, theyhelped the Ellis amily search ortheir personal belongings in anearby ield.

    One o the irst things weound was [a] devotional book,

    and it was open to Ecclesiastes3:1, Silverman said. We showedthe book to her mom, and shestarted crying. It was amazing tosee how God was still working orthem through this diicult time.

    Ellis mom also asked volun-teers to plant lowers so that vic-timized amilies could return tosome sense o normalcy.

    Renovations behind the Paul ConnStudent Union are no longer a mys-tery. he ongoing construction is dueto the installation o a new dumpsterpad and a walk-in reezer outside thePCSU.

    Cole Strong, administrative assis-

    tant to the president, said that Sodexois expanding the area to make roomor things needed to accommodatethe dining expansions.

    Larry Berry, director o physicalplant, is spearheading the project.

    he construction, which was origi-nally scheduled to be completed priorto the start o the semester, is nowscheduled to be completed some timein October, Kelvin arukwasha, So-dexos retail manager, said.

    Each o the brands we have oncampus requires a certain amount oreezer and rerigerator space, a-rukwasha said. We did not have ad-equate space in the PCSU to provide

    reezer and rerigerator space or Sub-way, Chick-il-A, Jazzmans and PapaConn Pizza.

    Some students were taken by sur-prise with the new construction, and

    junior English education major Whit-ney Day said the new constructionsite interrupted her daily route.

    I was walking to class on the irstday o school when I realized the stairs

    I always took were just gone, Daysaid. All I saw was this giant squarebox, and I had no idea what was go-ing on.

    Day was not alone in her assess-ment as other students remained un-enlightened to this new addition othe campus.

    In a student survey conducted inthe PCSU, no one was able to identiy

    what was being constructed behindthe PCSU.Brandon Raider, a junior psychol-

    ogy major, was one o the studentssurveyed.

    I have seen the men working onsomething in the back o the PCSU,but I have no idea what it could be. Ihave not heard any news or inorma-tion on it, but I see them out there ev-ery day, Raider said.

    arukwasha said that Sodexo didnot try to hide the project rom theLee community.

    he students were not intention-ally let in the dark on this, arukwa-sha said. Sodexo did not emphasizethis in the many articles we put outconcerning the retail renovations.Since this structure was or a reezerand dumpster, we did not think therewould be much interest in the project.

    For students like Day who are wait-ing or their daily routes to return tonormal, arukwasha said that therewill be a ramp constructed or ooddeliveries and pedestrian access.

    GLOBAL By Rachel DelvauxStaff [email protected] a month ago,my riend came up to

    me, looking a bit distressedrom her day, and told meabout about this amine hap-pening in Arica. I peered ather, mystiied, and thought,How the heck is a am-

    ine happening anywhere in2011? She proceeded to ex-plain that a severe droughtis going on in the horn oArica, the chie countriesaected being Somalia, Ke-nya and Ethiopia. housandshave died.

    Currently, being snuggledin my bed and surrounded bydorm sights and smells, I stillcant wrap my mind aroundthe act that amilies, gran-nies, aunts, uncles, preciousthree-year-olds and new-borns are all dying becausethey dont have dinner. So to-day, I want to go a bit deeperinto why such disasters still

    happen today and what wecan do as a people abound-ing with ood and resourcesto help our ellow Aricans.

    Kenya, or the most part,is a parched place illed withparched people. Accordingto Xan Rice, writer or heGuardian, 80 percent o thecountry is made up o aridland. In the 1990s, a townnamed Dadaab began to sud-denly overlow with Somalireugees due to political con-lict. he population quicklyswelled rom 90,000 to about400,000 people in Dadaabsthree camps, with 1,500 So-malis pouring in daily. hisenormous migration laid theoundation or the aminetaking place this year.

    At the height o sum-mer this past July, thou-sands more Somalis begancramming into the alreadypacked town o Dadaab dueto a smaller amine that onlyexisted at the time in Soma-

    lia. But since then, the am-

    ine has spread like ire intoKenya and Ethiopia, killing30,000 children. And thats

    just kids.It has been realized

    through previous disas-ters, though prominentlythrough this drought, thatgovernmental conlicts andamines are directly related.Sure, rainall patterns havebeen tracked, and it has beennoted that the amount o rainthat Kenya receives in a yearis considerably less than theamount their crops collectedlast year. However, neitherSomalian, Kenyan nor Ethio-pian governments are sup-porting their citizens needs.hese governments essen-tially have no inluence overtheir countries and, there-ore, cannot generate aid.Because the crops are scarce,prices or ood have shot uptremendously, orbidding thehungry to buy goods.

    he amine is still occur-

    ring despite its casualties

    decreasing since a monthago. Many wonder whetherthis amine could have beenavoided or whether some-one couldve done somethingsooner. Luca Alinovi, leadero the United Nations Foodand Agriculture Organiza-tion in Somalia, said, Wemust ocus on peoples needs.Basic social services, oodsecurity and youth employ-ment are crucial ... and itheres no government, itsup to the international com-munity to do this. Variousorganizations have certainlytaken action, such as WorldVision who has set up relieoperations in Somalia, Ke-nya and Ethiopia. SamaritansPurse also set up aid stationsat the border o Somalia.

    But or America as awhole, providing aid orthese countries has becomea stingy topic because o ourincreasing national debt. Inessence, America is realiz-

    ing that we cant give away

    what we dont have, and thegovernment has taken severecuts to ood and nutritionprograms, debilitating the i-nancial strength we thoughtwe had.

    Looking past the debtand past the program cuts,I know that I have a bananarotting on my desk as wellas crackers, granola, cans osoup and cereal overlow-ing in my closet. Im coni-dent that what I have in mylittle dorm room could eeda amily or two. Even thoughAmerica cant give in abun-dance, we individually can. Iyou eel a tug to give, I wouldencourage you to do so atthe ollowing website: http://www.interaction.org/crisis-list/interaction-members-re-spond-drought-crisis-horn-arica. Even ive bucks or adollar will help! Lets jointogether with other nationsto end uture amines o theworld.

    here are various consortia[means o interaction], and they all

    bring presidents together, Connsaid. But the CCCU is by ar therichest o those to me, personally.

    In the 25 years o his presidency,Conn has made a habit o attendingeach CCCU conerence because ohis love or the association. Aterserving on the CCCU board o di-rectors or three terms, Conn builtlasting relationships with his peers.

    heres a lot o really rich rela-tionships among Christian college

    presidents that doesnt really existamong other college presidents,Conn said.

    According to their website, theCCCU aims to advance the causeo Christ-centered higher educa-tion and to help our institutionstransorm lives by aithully relatingscholarship and service to biblicaltruth.

    As a member o the CCCU,Conn is granted a variety o services

    including proessional developmentseminars, team building workshopsand access to peer conerenceswhere he can ellowship with othercollege presidents.

    hrough the CCCU, studentsat Lee garner the opportunity tostudy in environments other thanLee through the BestSemester pro-grams hosted nationally and glob-ally. BestSemester programs allowstudents to take specialized classes

    and still receive class credit throughthe original university.

    In addition to the CCCU, Leeholds membership with other asso-ciations including the Southern As-sociation o Colleges and Schools,the Appalachian Colleges Associa-tion and the National Associationo Intercollegiate Athletics.

    Ater being struck by a vehicle cross-ing Parker Street in ront o Storms Hall onAug. 20, the two were airlited to the ErlangerHealth System in Chattanooga, where theywere initially listed as in critical condition.

    Shresthas irst memory is waking up in theambulance.

    Basically, I remember rom the ambu-lance onwards, Shrestha said. I dont re-member being hit by the car or anything viv-idly beore that.

    Memories other than that are shaky, espe-cially regarding the accident itsel.

    he only thing that made me realize thatI was hit by car was I looked at my right hand,and it was bloody, Shrestha said.

    Carter said her memory is taking longerto rebound.

    I dont even remember the hospital at all,Carter said. My dad was here or about aweek ater the accident, and I dont rememberanything until he was leaving. I didnt evenknow where I was originally.

    Although both were severely injured,Carter said the two are recuperating well.

    For the most part, Im just sore, Carter

    said. Some days its hard to get up. Migrainescome and go, but that should go away in a ewweeks. Ive been struggling with short-term

    memory loss; Ill repeat a story when I justsaid it ten minutes ago, but the people aroundme say its improving every day.

    Despite a broken pelvis and having to usea wheelchair or crutches to get around, Shres-tha said hes taking his limited mobility instride.

    My recovery has been good, Shresthasaid. Ive been bouncing back and indingthings I can do.

    Humor has been a healing orce or bothShrestha and Carter.

    I try to keep a positive outlook about it,Shrestha said. he second day I woke up, Iwas making stupid jokes. I dont look at stuin an oh my gosh, I nearly died kind o way.

    Shrestha and Carter expressed eelings oappreciation or the members o the Lee com-munity who rallied around them.

    Im grateul that people are glad Im okay,and the school was there supporting me thewhole time, Carter said.

    ulty member in the Schoolo Music and spouse o Lees

    very own president, spear-headed the series rom thebeginning.

    We just enjoyed doingit so much we never quit,Conn said. Here it is, youturn around twice, and itsbeen twenty years.

    he series began in 1992as a celebration to com-memorate the opening othe Dixon Center. he irstperormer was pianist Peter

    Orth.Conn said that the peror-

    mances were extremely wellreceived, so the practice con-tinued.

    Since its beginning, the

    series evolved rom an eve-ning concert to specializedevents.

    Weve used it on dier-ent occasions and at dierenttimes or undraisers, Conn

    said. [We would] have din-ner ahead o time and thenthe concert. Weve also doneit as a thank you or peoplewho have given.

    he evening o Yakushevsshow was a dinner and con-cert event hosted or irst andsecond year aculty membersand their spouses.

    he line-up included inthe series has not always beenmusic-related; it has also in-cluded renowned speakersand dramatists on several oc-casions, including actor omKey, author Chaim Potok

    and President Jimmy CartersWhite House Chie o StaHamilton Jordan.

    Some o our guestsproved to be such audienceavorites that they were in-

    vited to return in a subse-quent year, Conn said. heperormers requently com-ment on the enthusiasm oour audience o communitymembers and the university.

    said.Were more interested in

    providing this or the com-munity and or the people atLee than we are in trying topay or it by selling expensive

    tickets, Conn said.Despite a air turnout to

    It has been something

    that my husband and I havedone together rom the verybeginning and somethingwe have taken great plea-sure in, Conn said. I dont

    think people realize whatthey have here sometimes.hey dont realize the qual-ity, they just see it advertisedand see a poster up, but whatthey dont know is that most

    In honor o Paul Conn, Aug. 1 was rec-ognized as Dr. Paul Conn Day in the stateo ennessee. his recognition was broughtabout due to Conns celebration o his 25thyear as the president o Lee University.

    It was a great eeling to help achieveDr. Paul Conn Day or his 25th anniver-sary, ennessee State Representative KevinBrooks said. It was rewarding or me to beable to give back to a man who has done somuch or me.

    Brooks was Conns personal assistant ol-lowing Conns graduation rom Lee Univer-sity. He was undamental in developing thisday or Conn.

    Conn said that his initial reaction upon

    hearing the news was to question whetheror not having a day named ater him wouldhelp him out o a speeding ticket.

    I I were caught speeding by a ennes-see state trooper [on Dr. Paul Conn Day],would this make a dierence? Conn asked.And then, I realized [that it probably]wouldnt.

    While Conn pondered over the practi-cal implications o having a day named ater

    him, he is still very thankul.Its a lovely gesture, but it has limited

    practical value to have a day named oryou, Conn said. When I turned the lightso that night, I didnt glow in the dark.

    Even though Conn doesnt glow in thedark, his work in the community and at LeeUniversity has not gone unnoticed.

    Conn is Lees longest serving president,and he has helped to expand the campus toover ive times the size it was when he be-came president 25 years ago, according tothe proclamation made by the state.

    In the past 25 years, Conn was unda-mental in helping Lee add many new things

    to its title as a top-tier Southern university.Educational programs, which include

    several study abroad trips, and new majorssuch as public relations and healthcare ad-ministration are oered at Lee thanks to

    help rom Conn. Conn was also helpulin the construction o several buildings onLees campus, including the Paul Conn Stu-dent Union, the Math and Science Complexand the new Lee University Chapel that iscurrently under construction.

    he university plans to host an on-cam-pus celebration in honor o the presidentsrecognition on Sep. 27.

    From a young age, Paul Conn, presi-dent o Lee University and proessoro psychology, knew that he wanted towrite.

    I always wanted to be a writer,Conn said. When I was in high schooland early college, I thought thats what Imight do.

    While studying or his undergradu-ate degree at Lee University, Conn washeavily involved in student media. Evenater he graduated rom Lee and wenton to graduate school, Conn stayed ac-tive in his passion or writing.

    Conn realized he could write on amore proessional level when he was inhis late 20s.

    While at a 10-year high school re-union, Conn chose the ive most in-teresting people he met at the reunionand wrote a proile piece about each othem. He then took the inished workto the local newspaper to see i it wouldpublish the proiles, which it did.

    I thought, Im just going to indthings to write, so I started doing theseinterview pieces, Conn said in reer-ence to the written proiles o his highschool classmates.

    When the proile stories worked outwell or Conn, he decided to pursue big-ger and better proiles. Conns proileon Johnny Cash, in particular, took his

    pursuits in writing to the next level.Conn had been a an o Cashs music

    or several years.Johnny Cash was huge and hot,

    Conn said.Desiring to write a proile piece on

    Cash, Conn began calling Cashs agent,saying that he was a reelance writerwho wanted to get an interview withCash.

    Surprisingly, Cashs agent set up aninterview or Conn, and Conn was ableto make his dream o writing a storyabout Cash come true.

    I just took a blind shot at it, Connsaid. At some point, I got lucky, thestars lined up, God smiled, something

    happened and I got the piece.Conns story about Cash was so suc-

    cessul that it was named by he Asso-ciated Press as the Best News Feature othe Year or a ennessee Newspaper in1972.

    When Cash read the article andound that it had won such a prestigiousaward, he was impressed with Connsabilities as a writer. He had his agentcontact Conn again to invite Conn intohis home.

    One thing lead to another, [and] webecame riends, Conn said.

    Ater developing their riendshipeven more, Conn decided to write ashort book based on Cashs lie titledhe New Johnny Cash. Ater the suc-cess o Conns proile on Cash, the bookquickly took light.

    I did a little, short book with hisauthorization, [and it] sold a bunch ocopies, Conn said.

    Even ater the publication o thebook, Conn and Cash remained riends,and their connection was cultivated as itgrew deeper.

    Conn said that he knows his rela-tionship with Cash was something thatGod ordained.

    It was sort o like catching lightning

    in a bottle, Conn said. I think God hadhis hand on me.

    When Natalie Brouwer put on her hos-pital gown and uncovered her shaved head,she was no longer Natalie. She became hercharacter.

    On the inside, Im Natalie, and Im notsick; Im okay, and I did this or the show,Brouwer said. When Im on that stage, Im adierent person.

    Brouwer, a sophomore public relationsand theater double major, plays Vivian Bear-ing, a woman suering rom terminal cancer,in Lee Universitys production o MargaretEdsons play Wit.

    Brouwer irst became interested in theater

    when she was in the third grade; she par-ticipated in her elementary schools programcalled Primary Players.

    I got one o the lead roles, and I was soexcited, Brouwer said in reerence to one oher irst plays.

    Even though she started acting at a youngage, it wasnt until Brouwer was in high schoolthat her passion or acting really began.

    Junior and senior year [o high school], Iwas known as the theater girl, Brouwer said.

    When Brouwer irst came to Lee, she de-cided to declare theater as her minor insteado her major. However, she quickly real-

    ized that theater was something she wantedto pursue more seriously, so she decided toswitch to a double major in public relationsand theater.

    I dont want to be a starving actress,Brouwer said, describing her irst choice topursue theater as a minor. But i I am ollow-ing the Lord in this, and he has given me thispassion, then I cant just throw it away.

    Brouwer has ar rom thrown away thispassion since she has been at Lee. Wit is

    her ourth production with Lee; she has alsoacted in Almost, Main, he Winters aleand My Fair Lady.

    I just had to realize that God was nudgingme in this way, Brouwer said.

    Brouwer became involved in the produc-tion o Wit when she was contacted to audi-tion or the lead character.

    I was asked to audition or the role, andthat was an honor, but [it was] also scary,Brouwer said.

    Some o Brouwers intimidation was dueto the act that she had to commit to shavingher head during the audition.

    For women, our hair is so important tous and so deines us, Brouwer said. I neverreally had exceptional hair ... but I never real-ized how attached I was to it.

    Even though Brouwer was nervous, shedecided that this was something worth pur-suing.

    Now that Ive done it, it just seems so nor-mal, Brouwer said.

    Even though Brouwer came to terms withher shaved head, she admitted that it was atough experience to go through.

    I look like someone who has experiencedcancer, Brouwer said. I look sad and sick.

    However, Brouwer said that shaving herhead brought her even closer to the charactero Vivian.

    On the outside, Im Vivian, Brouwersaid. [But] on the inside, Im Natalie.

    Brouwer hopes that people who see theproduction will connect with the charactero Vivian and learn through her experiences.

    Vivian hides behind her intellect, Brou-wer said. I think we can all connect in our[own ways] with what we hide behind.

    Wit opened on Sept. 22 and will runthrough Sept. 26 with nightly perormancesstarting at 7:30 p.m. and a matinee peror-mance on Sept. 25 at 2:30 p.m.

    Lena Barber and amily pursueservice in the Philippines

    By Nefeteria BrewsterStaff [email protected]

    For Lena Barber and heramily, service is a liestyle.

    Barber, Lee Universitycounselor and part-timeaculty member in the De-partment o Behavioral andSocial Sciences, believes thatservice requires heart, mindand spirit.

    We strongly believe involunteering, Barber said.

    Ann and Roy Humphrey,Barbers mother and ather,also live a service-illed lie.ogether, they launched theHumphrey Humanitarian

    Ministries.he Humphrey Human-

    itarian Ministrys goal is toreach needy children withthe expansion and partner-ship o churches and agen-cies inside and outside therural areas within the cityo Angeles, Philippines.

    he Humphrey Human-itarian Ministry was dedi-cated to Roy Humphreysather and mother, Joe andAnnabelle Humphrey.

    hrough the HumphreyHumanitarian Ministry, acare and eeding program

    was developed or the Am-erasian children. hesechildren were abandonedby military igures who, a-ter a series o natural disas-ters, evacuated and traveledhome.

    he Humphreys programalso serves as a place or wor-ship and as a deployment siteor workers to minister tothose within the region.

    Lee University has beeninvolved in the program, asBarber is occasionally ac-

    companied by Lee studentswhile ministering to the chil-

    dren o the area.Seven years ago I took a

    group o our students, [twoLee students and two highschool students], to help eedthe children, Barber said.

    While in the Philppines,Barber discovered what giv-ing truly means to her.

    I remembered while Iwas helping my ather eedthe teenage boys, who wereexposed to gangs, [I saw]how they looked at me withhate even though I was help-ing, Barber said.

    hrough that experience,

    Barber noticed that giving re-

    quires getting on the level othe individuals being served.

    It is exactly how Jesusgave to us; he came down onour level, Barber said.

    Barber is very proud othe work she and her amilyhave accomplished becauseshe has seen positive results

    rom the programs.Some o the children who

    have undergone these pro-grams are now teachers whooccasionally end up teachingat the schools they grew up inor helping out within theseprograms, Barber said.

    Barber is also very proudo her ather, Roy Humphrey;he is continuing his work inthe Philippines despite hisight against lymphoma.

    His whole heart is ser-vice, Barber said.

    he Humphrey Humani-tarian Ministry was notonly developed to provideprograms through eeding

    individuals, but the minis-try also created the Homeand Abroad Ministry.his ministry oers medi-cal help, an eye clinic anddental care services that al-low individuals within thecommunity to get the ap-propriate medical attentionthat they need.

    hrough the Homeand Abroad Ministry, RoyHumphrey helped dig eightwells that provide cleanwater or those within thecommunity. he Hum-phreys also helped expanddisaster-relie services.

    Other ministries thathave been developed in-clude the HumphreyHumanitarian HousingProject, with the help o

    the Men and Women o Ac-tion; the Humphrey Learn-ing Center, which providesscholarships through prepa-ratory-level programmingservices; and Midnight Res-cue, which rescues childrenrom the streets.

    Transer writes herthoughts to Lees campusBy Emily DayStaff [email protected]

    Dear Lee,

    My name is Emily Day;Im a transer student all theway rom Santa Barbara, Ca-li. his column will be myopen journal about my liein college, written down inblack and white.

    It is in this column thatI hope to reach out to you.Maybe Ill meet you in per-son one day. For now, youwill get to know me here.

    Each week, you canread about my adventures,my new relationships, mydreams or the uture, andthe many embarrassing mo-ments that make up my day-to-day lie as a new student.In this weeks column, I willattempt to cram three awe-some weeks into 750 words.

    Can you believe its al-ready our third week oschool? I remember the irstday well. It was the day that I

    met my roommate, ChristinaHaddad, who drove 12 hourssouth rom Grosse Point,Mich. It was also the day sheand I bought a purple showercurtain in an eort to coverand hide the ugly window,the day my mother boughtwrapping paper in her owneort to cover and hide theugly walls, and the day it i-nally sunk in: Im in college,and I no longer live at home.

    Deke Day was one o theirst activities I participatedin at Lee. It was somethingI know I will remember or

    a long time. I cherished mytime serving as well as all thepeople that I met that day.

    We went to an elementaryschool in a part o Clevelandthat I wouldnt have guessedexisted. I wondered wherethese children lived and whattheir parents did or a living.

    Ater entering the school,we were greeted by Larry,the custodian. He was veryriendly and very grateul tohave 20 or so students helpout with the cleaning andde-littering o the schoolyardand classrooms. I cleaned

    windows with an awesomegirl named Kaleigh Carlsonrom Grand Rapids, Mich.We became ast riends.

    Ater a un weekend ullo meeting new people anddoing crazy new things, I wasreminded that I was here orschool. It was time or regis-tration and classes to start.

    I began to get a better pic-ture o what academic liewould be like as a telecom-munications major. In oneo my classes, we all went

    around introducing our-selves and saying where wewere rom. When I intro-duced mysel in my historyclass, a lot o people recog-nized Santa Barbara as thecity rom Psych, the Vshow.

    he irst weekend aterschool began, there was yetanother amazing experienceto write home about. I wentriver rating with all o Sim-mons Hall and our brother

    dorm, Medlin.You should know some-

    thing about the Ocoee River;it is absolutely, completelybeautiul. When we drove upalongside it, I could not takemy eyes o o the trees, therocks, the canyon surround-ing it and the amazing white-water rapids.

    he trip down river wasamazing, and luckily, I madesome great riends to enjoy itwith. We laughed the wholetime, swallowing most o thewater as we laughed. asty!

    hat Sunday ater chapel,

    when I was walking back tomy dorm, I ell. I you werethere, you probably saw it. Itelt like everyone saw it.

    I was wearing a dress andhigh-heeled boots. I was alsoin a rush, so naturally gravitywas going to take advantageo the situation. No big dealright? Everyone alls. hiswas the irst time I ell thatday.

    Later, I ell yet again, notbecause o my new leatherboots, but because I slippedon a sudsy surace. While

    taking my evening shower,I slipped; I slid under theshower stall and into the nextone. Beat that!

    I went to the FreshmanDating Game on a Fridaywith a lot o girls rom myhall. Although Im not areshman, I went along tocheer on my good riendKeith Foster.

    I laughed at the ridicu-lous questions, and my jawdropped at some o the an-swers. All in all, it was a greatnight. Keith did Beyoncproud with that Single La-dies number.

    Due to the massiveamount o rain that Cleve-land has been getting, ourschool was mostly looded,and much o Alumni Parkwas a lake. Christina and Iwent suring on some inlat-able mattresses. It was awe-some.

    As lie at Lee progresses,Ill continue to keep you up-dated. Good luck this week!

    Sincerely, Emily Day

    Summer digs expand the anthropology department

    By Caroline EatonStaff [email protected]

    Lee Universitys anthropology departmentstayed busy over the summer with multiple pro-essors and students spending their time excavat-ing archaeological sites across the globe.

    In July, Daniel Homan, proessor o history,along with history and art double major MelissaHope returned rom a six-week archaeology exca-

    vation in central Jordan with the Karak ResourcesProject.

    Homan has been on three previous digs withthe KRP, but this was his irst time returning toJordan since 2001.

    I went this year because there were some partso [the Karak Plateau] that we had not yet ex-plored in the previous seasons, and this was likelygoing to be the last year we worked in Jordan,Homan said. I wanted to ill in the gaps wherewe had not surveyed previously.

    When he was not exploring new sites, Ho-man returned to the sites he had previously ex-cavated.

    We revisited some sites to get more photos,gather pottery remains, and document the grad-ual, or in some cases, signiicant deterioration othe sites in the last ten years due to populationpressure, Homan said.

    Hope worked at Mudaybi, the main excavationsite, in a six-by-six-meter square that was locatedin the domestic area o the site. She and her teamound the remains o a building that could haveserved as a kitchen. heir dig included excavat-

    ing a large oven, storage jars, lamp ragments andother everyday objects rom the ancient era.Along with the knowledge gained by Melissa

    and I, Lee reaps the beneits o the projects pub-licity, Homan said. We also gain access to theobjects ound in Jordan.

    Homan oten uses these objects in his ancienthistory class to explain the Moabites, an ancientpeople who lived in the Jordan area.

    Students very much like to physically handlethe objects rom the biblical world that are 2500[or more] years old, Homan said.

    Another team rom Lee recently returnedrom excavating a central-western Colorado rockshelter. he team was made up o Murl Dirksen,

    proessor o anthropology, alumnae Brooke Oristand Erin Williamson, and two current junior an-thropology majors Allie Webb and Mary-CarolMcMillian.

    Webb recalls working at the Gunnison Riverexcavation site, a rock shelter that dates back12,000 years, and the Paradox Valley survey site,where they spent time exploring rock art panels.

    he summer trip to Colorado was truly thetrip o a lietime, Webb said. I learned so much

    in those two weeks and was able to have hands-onpractice in the ield o study I want to go into.While the anthropology department is ex-

    panding, archaeology trips are not limited to an-thropology majors. Dirksen explained that theopportunity to take part in a dig appeals to mul-tiple majors.

    Weve had theology, history, education and avariety o other students take part in excavations,Dirksen said.

    On Sept. 9, the anthropology departmentopened the Center or Archaeology Studies at 533runk St. he center is available or Lee studentsto explore the many acets o archaeology.

    President Paul Conn con-siders himsel a ashion di-saster, but he owns manyo the greatest wardrobeinvestments you can make:suits. Suits are powerul styleboosters that, in the rightshapes and proper propor-tions, can do wonders or anyigure. Suits are a must-haveashion trend or guys andgirls.

    When picking out a suit,there are three importantthings to remember. First,

    you should buy the best suityou can aord. Suits shouldbe durable and enjoyable.When you purchase a suit,remember they are lexibleand can be worn with di-erent clothing options year-round.

    Next, pick a material thatits your needs. I you planon wearing your suit mul-tiple times, you will want topick a simple pattern. I youind yoursel traveling andcarrying heavy bags, you willneed to purchase a sturdiersuit. Color can also say a lot

    about your style, rom thetraditional black suit to thetrendy red suit.

    Finally, make sure yoursuit its properly and is lat-tering to your igure.

    For ladies with narrowshoulders, look or jacketswith shawl collars or widerlapels and pair them withslim and simple pants orskirts. Shirts that are openor can be unbuttoned at theneck will widen the shoulderarea. o deine your waist,you can belt your jacket.

    For broad shoulders, pur-

    chase eminine, tailored jack-ets with sot shoulders andnarrow or raglan sleeves. Acollared, light-colored blouseunder your jacket is a greatmatch, drawing attention tothe center o the body. Re-member the collared blouseneeds to compliment your

    jacket.For ladies with a short

    waist and long legs, shop orlonger jackets that hit be-low the waist to create bal-ance. Narrow pants and slimskirts will emphasize your leglength, and a jacket with de-

    tails will draw the eye up.I you have a long waistwith short legs, ind suitswith cropped or belted jack-ets and pair them with high-waisted long pants or skirts.Wearing a long jacket over ashort skirt can be a good pro-portion.

    Ladies have more optionsthan men do when it comesto adding versatility to a greatsuit. A ew choice suits canbe the perect base on whicha stylish woman builds herentire wardrobe, giving her

    just the right ensemble or a job interview, class presenta-tion, dinner date or a nightout with the girls. hese ash-ion wonders are extremely

    versatile and love to be mixedand matched with the otheritems in your closet!

    here are many ways youcan show your lirty moodor sophisticated style withyour suit. A button-ront cot-ton shirt, a V-neck cashmeresweater, a lace camisole, anda ruled or chion blousein a eminine print are allnice options. Finish your en-semble with the appropriate

    jewels, purse and sleek high-

    heels!Conn, who has dressed in

    It was Soren Kierkegaard, a amous Christian au-thor and theologian who said, o dare is to lose onesooting momentarily. o not dare is to lose onesel.

    I believe that this message is oten lost on collegestudents. Sure, some students will go cli jumping,and a brave ew men o B.O.B. will climb every build-ing on campus (dont do this), but or many students atLee University, lie will work in very amiliar patterns.

    Every day will begin and end the same way, litteredwith the same people, and every decision will be deter-mined in the context o previous decisions.

    Every event will be run in ways that previous eventswere run, and every test will be studied or in the sameway as the preceding test.

    Dont get me wrong. It is rarely necessary to rein- vent the wheel, and it is not only wise but proper tolook at what has been done beore and improve on itwhile keeping what works. It is merely important tonote that the ceiling o success is oten higher whenwe risk.

    his reminds me o Jesus parable in Matthew 25. Amaster leaves or a time and leaves dierent amountso money in the care o his servants. he servant whois condemned is the one who buried the money; hewouldnt risk the money and consequently could notgrow it.

    So yes, look to the past, and build o what hasworked, but more importantly, have the guts to stepout and be brave.

    You may all lat on your ace, but you may alsogrow wings on the way down and reach new heights.

    While listening to theradio Saturday, Sept. 17,I heard a short clip romPresident Barack Obamasweekly address rom that

    morning. During the address, the presidentmade some comments that genuinely irritat-ed me, and although I have written about thisissue in the past, I think it is worth comment-ing on again.

    Near the close o his address, Obama hadthis to say, So the time or action is now. Nomore games or gridlock. No more divisionor delay. Its time or the people you sent toWashington to put country beore party, tostop worrying so much about their jobs and

    start worrying more about yours.I can understand where the president is

    coming rom when he said this. It is never apublic oicials deepest desire to have theiragenda slowed or halted by their opponents.Obama and Congressional Democrats haveput orward many ideas and proposals overthe last ew years, and although I have dis-agreed with all that I have been remotely in-ormed about, I chose to grant them the ben-eit o the doubt: I think that they are doingwhat they believe is in the best interest o thenation.

    Is it outside the realm o possibility thatsome o our government oicials are not

    primarily driven by the good o the country?Certainly not, but or me, when discussingliberals and Democrats in general, I chose toextend to them the beneit o the doubt as Ithink they should to conservatives and Re-publicans. I make this case because ultimatelythis Jobs Bill is not the issue o disagreementnor is any other single piece o legislation.

    Liberals and conservatives have a conlicto presuppositions and ideas at the core o the

    vast majority o their debates and the policiesthey advocate. his is where the true argu-ments o politics are: the level o worldviews.What this means is that when one side is ob-stinately and immovably opposed to a pieceo legislation or decision, they probably havea more undamental reason or not being ableto support it than the letter attached to theirname.

    Back to the presidents comments. WhenObama, or any public oicial, calls out hisopponents in such a way, he is not doing

    justice to the oundational argument beingought over. He is accusing the other side ohaving no other motivating actor than theirown sel-interest without allowing room oreven the existence o contrary ideas. While Ihave no problem arguing or a case, I believeit is the weak and cheap route to simply attackthe character o your opponents rather thandeend your own ideas.

    Same Goals, Diferent Ideas

    A House DividedLiberalColumnBy Lindsay BurkholderSNCW Columnist

    he recent announcement that no jobswere added to the economy in August createda irestorm o media hype and angry bloggerscalling down accusations on President BarackObama and condemning his stimulus pack-ages and Jobs Bill.

    he president has especially elt the ire omany o the members o the G.O.P. who aredoing their best to stop his eorts and criti-cize the success, or seeming lack thereo, o

    the bills he has introduced or supported.his all begs the question: is the goal toblock the opposite party rom power, or is itto stimulate the economy to new growth?

    In a job market with an unemploymentrate o 9.1 percent, concerns about job growthare understandable, especially consideringthe amount o money the government hasspent on stimulus packages in the past threeyears.

    But slow economic growth is not all thereis to the story.

    Recovery.gov, a website created to showwhere the stimulus money is going, reportsthat over 500,000 jobs were unded by the Re-covery Act rom April to June in 2011. hoseare ive hundred thousand jobs we wouldnthave without this ederal unding.

    American voters are looking or a quick ixthat boosts the economy back to where it wasand hopeully beyond, but change like thattakes time.

    During the Great Depression, there werestill nine million that were unemployed twoyears ater Roosevelts New Deal began. Five

    years later, the economy took another dip. Itwasnt until World War II that things inallyreturned to normal, which was ten years aterthe start o the recession.

    In a recent speech to the students o NorthCarolina State University, Obama called oran end to the bickering so prevalent betweenparties.

    he time or action is now, Obama said.Maybe the answer is to swallow our dier-

    ences and stop ighting over political power.hen, we might start to see real change.

    Lion King is re-released in 3-DBy Bailey RushStaff Writer

    [email protected]

    Get ready to travel back to priderock.

    Join Muasa, Simba, Zahzu, andRaiki or the re-release o Disneyshe Lion King, which returned to the-atres on Sept. 16.

    Although only returning or twoweeks, the re-mastered version o thisclassic tale promises to be illed with en-hanced visual eects and just as muchlaughter and heart elt moments as theoriginal, including some larger thanlie encounters with elephants and verychatty laughing hyenas.

    Now shown in 3-D, the movie willget you one step closer to the actiono the inamous stampede, the colorulscenery and the unconventional yet ir-replaceable wisdom o Raiki, the wise-cracking blue-bottomed baboon.

    he choice to convert this already-loved classic into a 3-D adventureseemed like a no-brainer or the ilmsproducer Don Hahn.

    When I irst heard about the idea,we were working on Beauty and the

    Beast in 3D, Hahn said, according toDisneys website. he early 3D ootageromBeauty and the Beast was amaz-ing, so I thought to mysel, I we canmake Beauty work, then he LionKing will a lso work.

    According to www.movieguide.org,a Christian review site o new releases,the ilm is a roaring success.

    he Lion King in 3-D presentseternal truths in the context o an enter-taining, exciting, magniicent wildlieadventure that will capture the heartsand minds o children o all ages, ac-cording to MovieGuide.org.

    he original version o the ilm wasreleased in 1994. For those who missedthe original version or may be a littleoggy on the details, I suggest you brush

    up on your knowledge in preparationor the new release. he plot as well asthe heart-pounding soundtrack withoriginal songs written and perormedby Elton John are enough to make youwant to run out and see the movie assoon as possible.

    For those who dont know every wordto Hakunah Matata, here is a recap:Simba, born into a royal lion amily, isa young lion cub who just cant wait to

    be king. Simba is taught the ways othe world by his ather, King Muasa,who will one day give his crown toSimba. Muasas brother and Simbasuncle, Scar, is also waiting to be king.hroughout the story, crazy uncle Scartries to manipulate Simba, but, Simbais under the protection o his ather,and he cant go astray. However, Mua-sa and Scar come ace to ace in an in-stance o amily betrayal. As we ollowSimba through the years, we see himencounter lie, love, loss, laughter andhakunah matata ater meeting someinteresting characters and learning andthe ultimate lesson o the circle o lie.

    he movies popularity has anythingbut died down in the 17 years that ithas been on the market. here are

    multiple sequels to the 1994 versionincluding he Lion King 1 andhe Lion King 2. Disneys amuse-ment park, Animal Kingdom, containsan area dedicated to a daily musicalshow taken rom the Broadway rendi-tion o the stor y.

    he overall lesson o the story ispositive. You will leave the movie eel-ing empowered with the urge to workon your inner lion rawr.

    Available until Sept. 30, he LionKing in 3-D as well as the originalmovie in 2-D are playing at Premiereheaters in Cleveland and at Rave Mo-tion Pictures in Chattanooga.

    on football, both profes-sional and at Lee.

    Paul Conns avorite Na-tional Football League teamended last year with a regularseason record o 13-3 beorelosing to the eventual SuperBowl champions in the irstround o the playos.

    My avorite pro team isthe Atlanta Falcons, Connsaid, who spent time in At-lanta while pursuing hisgraduate degree.

    Love or the Falcons is

    airly new in Conns heart.For many years it was thePittsburgh Steelers, Conn,who wrote a book with or-mer quarterback erry Brad-shaw, said. But I dont likeRoethlisberger I just thinkthe guy is a jerk.

    Conn urther explainedthat he has spent substan-tial time in Boston and cantbring himsel to ully supportthe New England Patriots.

    Its kind o counterintui-tive, I dont like Roethlisberg-er because hes a bum, but Icant like om Brady becausehe is too perect, Conn said.I want my heroes scued upa little, but with pure hearts.

    What do you see as thenext sport Lee will incorpo-rate?

    Man, I hate to use theootball-word, Conn said.

    Conn still thinks ootballmight not be or Lee, but headmits that he could see ithappening in the uture.

    Ive resisted ootball orso long, but I eel my heart isnot in it, in resisting I amweakening, Conn said.

    Future plans or sports

    Larry Carpenter celebrates 35th year at Lee

    Flames baseball takes its place in the limelight

    Lee alumna is new cheerleading coach

    By Gavin MarkhamStaff [email protected]

    In the midst o celebratingPaul Conns 25th anniversaryas president o the university,Lee Athletic Director LarryCarpenter is celebrating amilestone o his own; this

    year marks 35 years as a headigure in Lee athletics.

    A graduate o Lee in 1977,Carpenter became an assis-tant or the mens basketballteam a year prior to gradu-ation. At the time, the uni-

    versity had only a mens andwomens basketball team anda gol team in 1976. hirty-ive years later, Carpenter has

    virtually changed the natureo Flames sports into a topteam in the National As-sociation o IntercollegiateAthletics.

    In the last 25 years un-

    der Dr. Conn, its like weveexploded, Carpenter said.Not only in the quality osports but [in the] quantity[as well]. We have gone tonew heights.

    Carpenters days at Lee be-

    gan in 1972 when he playedor the ormerly known LeeCollege Vikings. He tookthe mens basketball assistantrole rom 1976 until 1992.and he eventually took thehead coaching position, win-ning the National CollegiateChristian Athletic Associa-

    tion championship in 1994.In (year) Carpenter re-ceived the highest honor inthe athletics department bybeing inducted into the LeeUniversity athletics hallo ame. He also won the2007-2008 NAIA AthleticDirector o the Year award,which recognized him asthe top national athleticdirector o that year.

    In his day-to-day op-erations, Carpenter over-sees 17 dierent teams.Since his inauguration asthe athletic director in 1995,he built a baseball stadium,which was used or the 1996USA Olympic practices, andsotball acilities. He alsoadded a practice inield tothe baseball complex, whileadding lights, a press box andadditional stands to the soc-

    cer ield and expanding theWalker Arena in 2005.

    By bringing in the rightcoaches to campus, Carpen-ter created an environmentwhere athletes want to comewin championships. hemens and womens teams oevery sport have continu-

    ously been ranked high inthe national polls every year,and they have been advanc-ing deep into their nationaltournaments.

    he womens soccer teamhas enjoyed the most success,especially as o recent. heLady Flames have not onlywon three straight NAIAnational championships,Lees only NAIA champion-ships, but they have also heldtheir home winning streak

    against Southern States Ath-letic Conerence opponentsto eight consecutive yearswithout a loss. Baseball hasalso enjoyed the successes ohosting the opening round othe College World Series orthe past three seasons.

    Lee has allowed me to do

    something that I love doing,Carpenter said. Ive alwayssaid since Ive been at Leethat Ive never dreaded com-ing to work a day. Lee has al-

    lowed me the opportunityto raise my amily on achristian campus, [andto] be at work with otherChristians.

    Carpenter has alsoenjoyed getting to knowthe athletes better on apersonal level throughoutthe years, taking away theeveryday ocus o athlet-

    ics. He looks orward to newathletes coming in everyyear. Carpenter says that hedoesnt just look at an athleteon the court or ield but oit as well.

    I love the athletes, I getenergized every year when anew batch comes through. I

    tell my athletes that I watchthem more o the court thanI do I on it, Carpenter said.hats what really motivatesme, not only in a champion-ship on the ield and court,but that they have a 3.9 GPAand they are good kids.hats one o the most enjoy-

    able parts o my job.hrough the successeso Lees athletics, Carpenterhelped reach many com-munities around the coun-try that were previously outo reach, and he printnowhas the elements o nationalchampionships under hisbelt to establish his reign asone o the top in the industry.

    Larry Carpenter hasbeen the heart and sole o theLee Athletic Department ora number o years. He hashelped promote the nameo Lee athletics all over thecountry, George Starr, sportsinormation director, said.

    Ater all o the buildingsuccess that Flames athlet-ics has reached, many moreyears o adequate transitionsare still to come under Car-penters reign.

    When Mark Brew took the posi-tion o head baseball coach in 2006,he was let with a team that had nevermade it to the National Associationo Intercollegiate Athletics CollegeWorld Series in its short history.

    Fast orward to 2011, and Brewhas Flames baseball in the midst osome o its greatest seasons ever. wonational championship runner-uppositions in ive straight appearancesin the NAIA College World Seriesand more players going pro than everbeore are some indications o theprograms success.

    Brews teams routinely ranked inthe top ten or oense, deense andpitching in the NAIA. Probably mostknown or his recruiting abilities,Brew has always been able to attracttop athletes and transers to Lee.

    Since 2007, the Flames have had22 players drated to a minor leaguecontract by their major league team.Yet another 25 ormer players signedwith an independent team, whichare part o the proessional rankingsbut not ailiated with Major LeagueBaseball.

    Each o these players had aspira-tions o making it to the big leagues,and all believe that they gained theskills they needed to do so rom Lee.

    Recently, 2009 short stop JoseCuevas was named Arizona LeaguePlayer o the Year or his outstand-ing eorts with the San FranciscoGiants rookie team. Shortly ater, he

    was promoted to close the season outwith the riple-A Fresno Grizzlies. In46 games, Cuevas batted a .337 aver-

    age with nine home runs and 46 RBIor his rookie league team.

    We have been able to develop areputation over the past years as aprogram with players with proes-sional potential, Brew said. Ourgoal is to recruit the best player that

    can it our needs and the expecta-tions and standards o Lee Universityand our program. We love to signthe best local talent we can, but to beas competitive as we have been, wehave to recruit nationwide and evenworldwide in some instances.

    Standout 2010 pitcher Shay Craw-ord now plays or the Princeton Rays(W.V.), a minor league ailiate othe ampa Bay Rays. Craword onlyspent one season playing or Lee, buthe credits Brew and the coaching staor his ability to be drated in June.

    Lee allowed me to pitch the wayI knew how to, which helped me de-

    velop into

    a betterpi tch e r , C r a w o r dsaid. Oth-

    er schools I had played or tried tochange my pitching, which in the endhindered me.

    Craword didnt want to play pro-essionally, but with the help o thecoaching sta, he became a morecomplete player and realized he had

    the potential to go ar. In 26 minorleague games, he posted a 13.8 strike-out and a 1.9 walks per nine inningsratio.

    Another ormer let-handed stand-out, Je Ibarra, was drated in 2009 bythe San Diego Padres and reported totheir minor league team, the EugeneEmeralds. Ibarra became a stand-out or the Flames with his 6-oot-6-inch rame and long delivery thatpeaked the interest o Padres scoutAsh Lawson. In three minor leagueseasons, Ibarra moved up throughthe rankings rom the rookie leagueto Class A-Advanced baseball. In 22games this

    season, playing or the Lake ElsinoreStorm, Ibarra posted a 3-2 recordwith 29 strikeouts and a 3.93 era.

    Lee gave me the opportunity my junior year and just signed me with-out even seeing me play, and I just itright in with the team, Ibarra said.

    Brews continuous impact onscouts like Lawson have given majorleague teams incentive to come backto Olympic Field every year or scoutday. When Brew took over, only ahandul o scouts were available tocome and watch the Flames workout.As o 2009, every MLB team has senta scout to watch the players show otheir perormance skills.

    he most notorious o any playerto make his way to the proessionalranks is ormer inielder Lance Za-wadzki. o date, Zawadzki remainsthe only player to have made a MLBdebut out o all that have gone pro.He was drated by the San Diego Pa-

    dres in 2007 and made his MLB de-but on May 2, 2010, with a single inhis irst at bat.

    His most inamous story at Leecame during batting practice whenhe hit a home run out o the parkand onto the rootop o a residentialhome across rom the stadium. Sincemaking his pro debut, Zawadzki wascut by the Padres and claimed by theKansas City Royals. He is currently intheir minor league system.

    A Flames chance o going pro tru-ly rests on the shoulders o the past,and the events o the past have paveda way to the uture o the Flames pres-ent roster and sta. New athletes plan

    to take the ield in February in hopeso attaining a shot to play in the pros.Brews system, so ar, has proven itssuccess or those who stay.

    Lee alumna Jessica Rigsby recentlyreturned to her alma mater to becomethe head cheerleading coach or the2011-2012 year.

    Rigsby was the assistant cheerlead-ing coach or the Flames last year underCoach Kathy Eaton, but Eaton was un-able to return to the position this year.

    Rigsby was more than willing to ac-cept the oer or the head coaching job.

    Im obviously really excited, Rigsbysaid. I always wanted the job, but I nev-er thought it would be an opportunityso soon.

    Rigsby received her undergraduatedegree rom Lee in psychology in 2010and is currently pursuing her mastersdegree in school counseling rom Lee.She was a member o the Lee cheerlead-ing squad rom 2006-2008.

    Since 2006 Rigsby has been working

    or the Fellowship o Christian Cheer-leaders, the largest Christian cheerlead-ing organization in the world.

    he way everything worked out wasjust a conirmation that this was whereGod wanted me to be, Rigsby said. He

    gave me this opportunity knowing thedesires o my heart.

    In summer 2011, Rigsby was oereda ull-tuition scholarship to the Uni-

    versity o exas at Arlington as well asa substantial graduate assistant stipendto support her while in school. Sheturned the job down and returned toLee in hopes o seeing the Lee programsucceed. Upon her ull-time return, shewas oered the job o head cheerleadingcoach.

    When asked about her vision or thesquad in her irst year as coach, Rigsbythinks the squad will be taking hugestrides orward.

    I want Lee to be a nationally ranked

    and competitive cheerleading program,

    Rigsby said. As ar as talent, this couldbe the most talented squad Ive everbeen a part o.

    Lees cheerleading squad is made upo 13 emale and three male students.he squad wants to prove to other stu-

    dents that competitive cheerleading is asport worth paying attention to.

    Rigsby is rom exas in which cheer-leading programs are recognized state-wide. Coming to Lee, she realized thatestablishing a respectable programwould be a challenge.

    While in her position, she also looksorward to being more involved withon-campus events and other athleticteams. She aims to bring a spirit o ser-

    vice to Lees cheerleading squad throughcommunity service and volunteer work.

    he squads irst opportunity to com-pete will be on Jan. 21 in Nashville. heywill have a chance to challenge schoolsinside and outside o Lees cheerleading

    Social Mediaand Athletes

    COLUMNSPORTS

    By Benjamin VeazeyStaff [email protected]

    Its no surprise that socialnetworking dominates theway we communicate today,and the athletic world is noexception. Whether theyknow it or not, athletes havebeen aected by social me-dia.

    It is a common practicetoday to look up a new ac-quaintance on Facebook

    soon ater meeting them.Ater Osama Bin Laden waskilled in April, PittsburghSteelers halback RashardMendenhall tweeted in de-ense o bin Laden. Now,people look at him dier-ently due to this. his is justmore proo o how socialnetworking should be takenseriously.

    More than ever, coachesare monitoring their ath-letes use o Facebook andwitter.

    hey should representour school [and] themselves

    in a positive manner, EmilyRussell, sotball coach, said.People judge you by socialmedia.

    Coaches like ommyBrown, head basketballcoach, hardly use their so-cial media accounts. Brownhas yet to make up his mindon how much social mediais beneitting his playersthroughout the season.

    I hardly use my Face-book or witter account,but I do have one, Brownsaid. I have thought aboutnot allowing social net-

    works or our student ath-letes, but I have not come tothat point yet.

    Yet is the key word.Athletes need to watch whatthey say on their social net-working sites. hey needto understand that they arenot talking to their riends,they are talking to the worldwhen they tweet or updatetheir status.

    Other coaches such asMark Brew, head baseballcoach, see the potential thatFacebook and witter mightbring to keeping up with

    athletes that he is pursuingto sign as well as his currentplayers.

    Social networking canhelp with recruiting, Brewsaid. Although they dohave social networks to helpwith recruiting, there is stilla big stance on how to be-have on [them].

    Social media to aid therecruitment process is aninteresting concept. Insteado someone having to sendbrochures and other schoolinormation, all a recruithas to do is look up a schoolname, and they can indall sorts o inormation.Recruits can even go to o-rums to see the schools anbase to ensure that what thecoach is selling is true.

    Russell, Brown and Brewall agreed that they holdtheir players accountableon what they post on socialnetworking sites.

    We expect them to dothe right thing, Brew said.Any negative comment willbe dealt with by the coach-es.

    he National CollegiateAthletic Association and

    the National Association oIntercollegiate Athletics di-er in their social network-ing regulations. he NCAAseems a lot stricter on itsstance on athletes use osocial networks. he NAIAhas more o a slack stanceon its regulations.

    Its sae to say that socialnetworking has its positivesand its negatives, even inthe realm o athletics.
