Physically disabled students at

Berry can face problems when it

comes to accessibility at the Ford

Complex.

As stated in Title II of the

Americans with Disabilities Act

(ADA) and Section 504 of theRehabilitation Act, both private and

government-funded postsecondary

colleges and universities are required

to make their programs accessible

for students with disabilities.

Berry has complied with these

acts and provides housing and

program accessibility for students

with disabilities and the college also

trains faculty members on disability

requirements.

Although much of campus is ADA

compliant, it can still be inconvenient

for students who work or wish to

attend social events at Ford.

The Ford Complex buildings

were built between 1925 and 1931,

before handicap access was requiredin buildings.

According to the ADA, buildings

constructed or altered after June 3,

1977, must comply with the relevant

accessibility code buildings

constructed before the 1977 date

need not be made accessible if the

college or school can ensure students

with disabilities enjoy the full range

of its programs.

For students who have

documented disabilities, Berry

pro vides ful l accom modat ion s

and support for students, including

automatic preference for the Morgan

and Deereld residence halls, which

are ADA compliant for students with

physical disabilities.Typically, if someone has

something severe enough that they

need special housing, they arent

put at Ford, senior Madison Hill, a

Resident Assistant at Ford, said.

Questions of accessibility at Ford

An accident in Blackstone Hall

on Oct. 31 left sophomore Emily

Wolfe in the emergency room. An

air vent in the student lounge fell

unexpectedly and hit Wolfe near

her eye, breaking her glasses, Wolfesaid. Associate professor of theater

Alice Bristow helped Wolfe make

contact with Berry administration

and the campus police, who took a

statement.

This incident has prompted

discussion about the safety of the

building that houses Berrys theater

program. Wolfe is meeting with

a Berry legal adviser this week

and hopes they can help her cover

hospital bills and pay for a new pair

of glasses.

I was sitting there on the main

oor, in the green room area on a

couch by the door, and the air vent,

like the whole air vent unit, came

down and hit me on the head, right

next to my eye, Wolfe said. Broke

my glasses and everything. I had

to go to the hospital Apparently

there werent even screws holding

this thing in.

Junior Ari Jerome, a theater

major, was in the room when the

vent fell. She noted that, earlier that

day, the heat in the building had

been turned on for the rst time this

semester.

Sophomore theater major Sophia

Brommet, thought this may have

affected the vent.

Apparently, somehow the

screws werent connected to

anything, Brommet said. They

were in the vent, but they werent in

the wall. It was taken off for some

reason and then put back without

properly securing it, and so the push

of air probably knocked it out of the

wall.

and onto an unsuspecting

young lady, Jerome nished.

Theater students, however, are

used to a state of disrepair, Brommet

and Jerome said.

Somehow this is kind of normal

in our theater, Brommet said. All

of us were just like oh, the buildings

falling apart on us again.

But because we have the shop,

if a stair breaks or something, we

just x it and get back to work, she

continued. The stairs leading down

to prop storage have broken before.

People have fallen through, and they

just stick a new one in All right

everyone, back to work.

SEE ACCESSIBILITY, P. 2

This Saturday, Berry will be hosting the very rst

Spanish-only Discover Berry, or Descubre Berry. Current

Spanish speaking students and staff will help run the

event. Noemi Sarrion-Cortes, multicultural recruitment

coordinator in the ofce of admissions, said this event

will better Berrys communication with students families

who predominantly speak Spanish.

Berry has traditionally always had Latino students

enrolled, Sarrion-Cortes said. But what we realize is

that the parents of these very talented students arent as

familiar with the higher education system in the U.S.

so we try to help them navigate, in their native language,

the admissions process.

She was not alone in these thoughts. Senior Elvis

Diaz, a student leader for Descubre Berry, commented on

the disadvantage that parents face when confronted with

college applications in the U.S.

Oftentimes Hispanic parents ... feel out of the loop

with the language barrier, Diaz said. Theyre not as

properly informed of how the college application works.

I feel like having an all-Spanish Discover Berry is going

to shine some light on them and give them some peace

of mind.

SGA president Paton Roden is also excited for theevent.

I think that its really a good recruitment tool, she

said. Its also an opportunity for some of our Spanish

groups to get involved.

Representing the Hispanic honor society, Sigma Delta

Pi, senior Spanish major Whitney Dufe thinks its

denitely a good way to reach out to families who speak

Spanish primarily and show them that we care.

The families that come will get a very personalized

experience learning about the campus and all the

opportunities that are at Berry, she said.

Diaz spoke to how important that person-to-person

connection would have been for him and his mother when

he was in the middle of his college search.

I had to explain everything for (my mom) because

she only speaks Spanish, Diaz said. I kind of had to do

everything alone. If my mom wouldve been able to attend

such things and know exactly what I was going though, Ifeel like it would have made things much easier.

Although students are fully accommodated atBerry, the lack of accessibility at Ford can still

be inconvenient for students with disabilities.

I was a little disappointed last year,

sophomore Suleima Jacob said. It would have

been nice to be able to go there and visit my

friends most (freshman) girls live at Ford.

Students who enter Berry and have a

documented disability are accommodated.

However, students who are injured while living

at Ford have little leeway for housing options.

One room on the rst oor of West Mary Hallis ADA approved, which Residence Life uses tohouse students with temporary needs.

The only reason we have one room here is in

case somebody breaks their leg, or sprains theirback or has a reason they need to live on the rst

oor, Hill said.

Hill related an experience where a studentliving at Ford was injured and had to have

crutches. The student was moved to the

apartment room on the rst oor. Hill said shebelieves that the class busses didnt pick up and

drop off at Ford often enough.Getting down to main campus from up here(without a car) was hard, Hill said. It was a big

deal for her to get down to class.

According to Mark Hopkins, director ofthe physical plant, Ford Auditorium and other

buildings are currently in design with an

architect for renovations and additions, and areworks in progress.

Information for students with disabilities and

accommodation and ADA compliance at Berry

can be found on their website.

Brett Kennedy, assistant vice

president of admissions, said Berry

has been offering Spanish language

tours of the campus for many years,

but he is excited about this event

and the opportunities it will bring.

We always want to present

the Berry message in the way

that a familys going to be most

comfortable, Kennedy said.

With around ten families,Descubre Berry is very scaled

down from the hundreds of people

that a Discover Berry will serve,

Kennedy said. He hopes the smaller

size will provide for a more personal

experience.

Sarrion-Cortes said high schools

have invited Berry to participate in

Spanish college nights and that Berry

is working on being an active part in

the Hispanic community.

Were trying to be welcoming

sending a message that we are

available here for our neighbors,

Sarrion-Cortes said. Theyre here

and all over Georgia, so its just

a way to present a private education

option within the Georgia context

I think its very important for any

institution to be serving a wide range

of the population.

Diaz said these efforts are an

opportunity for more Hispanic

students to attend the school here and

increase our diversity.

Sarrion-Cortes said she has

received positive feedback from

Berry staff and students as well as

eager volunteers.

Between 15 and 20 students

will be volunteering in different

capacities, she said. Some of our

faculty and staff are also volunteering

that day to help our guests. Ive

received a lot of excitement from our

people here at Berry.

Dufe is looking forward to the

event.

Im really excited about meeting

people there, she said. Meeting the

families that come and getting to

speak Spanish on campus putting

my skills to use in a way that will

help the school.

Dufe spoke of not only of how

Descubre Berry will affect families,

but also how it will affect the

volunteers.

The students who help will

denitely benet by getting a chance

to use their Spanish speaking skills

and to promote Berry and tell stories

of how theyve learned and grown

while at Berry, Dufe said.

This event is the rst

comprehensive Spanish only

orientation program, and Kennedy is

ready to test the waters.

Whether well have a lot of

other events in Spanish I think its

a rst time, he said. I think its an

experience and after we have it,

Wolfe spoke of problems with mold in costume and prop

storage.

The buildings just not in good shape in general, she

said. So the things inside it arent going to be in good shape.

The space, which was initially a dining hall, was

repurposed as a theater several decades ago. Areas of the

building are no longer usable.

We cant have class up (on our top level) anymore,

Brommet said.

Bristow elaborated on the safety issues of the upstairs

classrooms.

Theres not proper re exits because the stairwells are too

small, and they dont exit to the outside, she said.

Wolfe commented on the problems the top oor will cause

should there be renovations.

Before they even renovate it, theyre going to have to

put a re escape on the side of the costume shop, she

said. Because the costume shop has stairs, but if theyre

blocked theres no way to get out.

Wolfe thinks the situation is a little ridiculous.

I cant think of any other building in the school where

you cant even go to certain places in the building, she said.

Jerome remembered the difculty Berry College Theatre

Company (BCTC) had hosting guest improv group Dads

Garage.

One of the members was in a wheelchair, she said. The

bathrooms arent wheelchair accessible were lucky we

have a ramp.

Problems exist in audience seating as well, Jerome said.

At least every show Ive worked on and Ive worked on

at least eight shows theres always at least one patron who

falls down those stairs, she said.

Handrails were added a few years ago, but they have not

proved to be helpful.

We only have those little rickety handrails, which weve

had to screw back into place multiple times, Brommet said.

We had one guy grab it, and it just gave out underneath him.

Bristow, who has worked with the department for 15 years,

recounted the repairs to the building that she remembers.

They include the handrails, new windowsills, renovation of

the lobby, new paint in the classroom areas, xing a hole

in the oor of the costume shop and major work with the

heating, ventilation and air conditioning units.

Plans for additions and renovations to Blackstone Hall are

included in the current capital Life Ready campaign. Now its

just a question of raising the money.

Luckily were up next for some major renovations,

Bristow said. Were in the fundraising period. I just want the

building to be safe, as does everyone else.

She is excited about the prospect of teaching all theatre

major courses in Blackstone. Some classes have had to be

taught in Ford and Laughlin. She talked about how nice it will

be to have better and safer access to the shops. The costume

shop is currently not in compliance with the ADA.

Wolfe is worried about current students and is ready for

renovations to begin the sooner the better.

I just hope that this renovation project gets going pretty

soon because I would hate for all these people that are theater

majors here, and that love theater and want this program to

grow, to be displaced or God forbid have to leave Berry

because their majors not offered because the buildings

condemned, Wolfe said.

Jerome said she thinks more attention is given to projects

like Valhalla stadium as opposed to the arts, especially in

regard to fundraising for Blackstone and Ford Auditorium.

Brommet agreed that the arts are often overlooked.

Id like for the theater to get more attention, she said.

Wolfe hopes her experience with the air vent will do just

that.

Hopefully, this is something that makes them reconsider

how much we need this, she said. And its sad that a student

had to get hurt before they took action.

Despite limitations, the theater program continues to

attract more students.

Our programs growing, Jerome said. And were

becoming more skilled Were ready to expand, the problem

is Im not sure the schools ready for us . Were bursting at the

seams, but I dont think the school sees that.

How to become socially aware through media platforms

RYDER MCENTYREgraphics editor

@CAMPUSCARRIER

Forgetting Thanksgiving for winter dealsFollowing 2012s Black Friday,

the satirical news website The

Onion published an article titled 42

Million Dead In Bloodiest Black

Friday Weekend On Record. While

The Onion was obviously joking, it

does bring up how pervasive BlackFriday weekend and the holiday

capitalism spirit has become.

Shoppers spent almost $60 billion

over Black Friday weekend in 2012,

according to a 2012 survey by the

National Retail Federation (NRF).

Last year, the numbers dropped a bit

with buyers spending $57.4 billion,

according to a 2013 survey from the

NRF.

Even with this slight drop, it

is obvious that Black Friday is

becoming an increasingly large part

of the holiday season. It has even

expanded beyond just the Friday

holiday to include Cyber Monday for

internet deals and a Brown Thursdaythat takes place the day before Black

Friday for all of those shoppers who

want a bit of a head start.

The problem is, as the popularity

for the consumerist holidays grow,

what happens to Thanksgiving?

Winter holidays seem to be promoted

earlier and earlier with some stores

already setting up Christmas displays

the day after Halloween. But if we

are going straight from Halloween to

the winter holidays, we are ignoring

the holiday that is supposed to be

about gratitude in favor of one with

more focused on spending.

The History Channels ofcial

website explains that Thanksgiving

was established as an Americanholiday in 1863 by President

Abraham Lincoln during the middle

of the Civil War. As the name

suggests, Thanksgiving is a holiday

centered on gratitude. However, the

holiday of thanks is increasingly

being overshadowed by sales and

discounts.

Despite Black Friday being

traditionally tied to Thanksgiving,

the newer capitalist holiday isincreasingly becoming the more

important. For example, Mexico,

despite not celebrating Thanksgiving,

has caught on to the shopping

epidemic of Black Friday.

However, how much can we really

criticize Black Fridays popularity

when we still take advantage of it?

Obviously with the number of sales,

people across the U.S. are heavily

participating in Black Fridays

weekend deals. Who can blame

them? They can nd products for

half the price of what they normally

are and nish their holiday shopping

list in one fatal swoop. With how

much revenue they bring in, we cantblame the stores for promoting Black

Friday so much. With how much

they can save, we cant blame the

shoppers for looking favorably on

the holiday. So, what can we do to

make sure that Thanksgiving doesnt

become an outdated relic?

To start with, we can make

an effort not to forget the

purpose of Thanksgi ving in the

first place. When stuffed with

turkey and watching the Macys

Thanksgiving Day Parade, it may

be hard to remember why the

holiday exists at rst. Winter holiday

celebrations seem to be getting closer

and closer to Halloween. We must

make an effort to not get to caughtup in the excitement for winter or

the thrill of good deals to forget the

small holiday honoring gratitude for

what weve already been given.

The election we just witnessed was, in my opinion,

completely hilarious. I watched the depressing poll

numbers ood in while resigning the fate of this country

to Republican partisanship during election night, and I

went to bed incredibly sad that evening. Im a Democrat,

and the Democrats got completely owned.

As more and more of our generation - widely referred

to pejoratively as millenials - enters the world of

public opinion, Ive begun to notice a few widely held

beliefs which should not exist if were going to save

this democracy from special interests. How do I know

that democracy is at risk from special interest, highly

concentrated inuences?

Just look at how much the average Senate seat costs:

around $12 million, the majority of funds coming from

a select number of folks donating (legally, now, thanks

Supreme Court) to their campaigns.

A lot of people believe that their vote does not matter.

This is an incredibly dangerous idea to have. Pollsters

around the country believe that if the younger, more

disillusioned generation (us) would have actually come

out and voted, the political landscape for the next two

years would be very different.Thats because the vast majority of voting-age people

are actually quite liberal, yet they consistently do not

show up to the polls. Because they think that voting

doesn't matter, they believe that being informed doesnt

matter either, and this could not be further from the truth.

As long as we - members of one of the most

individualized and economically challenged generations

of the past century - keep our heads in the sand about

important topics like marriage equality, the minimum

wage, healthcare, foreign policy, abortion and student

debt to name a few, the special interest status quo will be

forever reinforced and we will see a government which

does not work for us any longer.

So, how do we make millennials care about political

discourse, being informed and voting? Its easy. Weve

seen the Upworthy videos plastered all over Facebook,

havent we? Were a little tired of them, but they have

done a lot to make a generation normally thought to be

selsh and spoiled into one of the most socially aware

and conscientious generations in a very long time. All

of these completely worthwhile social movements are

gaining popularity issue because of empathy. But what

about policy movements?

After all, just how much can we take from our

government (Ultra-conservative nut job tea partiers and

liberals with no backbone) before we educate ourselves

and stand up for our rights?

On the other hand, I know quite a few people who

have even said that they dont think uninformed peopleshould vote, and since they aren't themselves informed,

they just dont see any point. This abbergasts me,

because I cannot help but be informed. If you truly care

about any one issue in this world, and I am very sure

you do, take the time to commit to reading about it and

voting on it.

If you truly care about any one issue in this world,

defend it on Facebook until people block you. Take

a minute to share an interesting article about income

tax you nd particularly illuminating. Spend a second

discussing politics on Facebook guys, as its quickly

becoming our most powerful forum in public opinion.

That being said, a lot of people will disagree with

my assertion of using Facebook in this manner. A lot

of people, however, would rather put their heads in the

sand about political issues because everything is so

depressing and they dont want to see it on Facebook,

too. Well, ignoring things which are depressing is

probably the worst possible way to deal with them.

Its apparently very easy to get up in arms about

social issues like about how gay marriage in Georgia

still isnt a reality. But its somehow harder for people

to understand that there are huge policy decisions

happening every day that none of us pay attention to. I

wholeheartedly believe its time to extend our righteous

indignation about social injustice into policy injustice

as well.

I believe that media gives us what we want and its

time to start demanding things of media that they havenot delivered in a very long time. We need to shift our

thought process from being frustrated with the system

to being productive within the system towards change.

Maybe in two years, if this shift occurs, our government

can nally begin recognizing our increasing attitudes of

acceptance for diversity and liberalism. Just maybe.

We live in an era ofcommodication. By Websters

denition, to commodify is to

treat something inappropriately as

if it can be acquired or marketed

like other commodities.

Before birth, your parents loved

ones began buying appropriate

clothes and toys for you. Every

human experience comes with an

industry trying to make money off

of it: Hospitals, Pharmacies and

even Prisons. Point blank, life is

expensive.

Paying for childcare costs just

as much as paying for a college

education. If kids play sports or

do anything else after school, itsgoing to cost as well. Parents fund

select soccer, band, outdoor camps,

theater and many other extra

curricular activities.

Playing sports keeps young

people healthy and active.

Therefore, if the price is too

outstanding, lower income

children wont have the same

chance as those who can afford

extracurricular activities leading

to separation in obesity due to

nancial ability.

Being active outside of school

in productive environments keeps

youth out of trouble. Yet again, we

come to an understanding that a

difference in economic and socialclass is correlated to the negative

wellbeing of those who are less

fortunate.

Those parents who have

less money usually work longer

hours part time with no health

benets for themselves or their

children. Coming full circle, thecommodication of life experience

determines many peoples futures.

Now, Im not saying that

socioeconomics is the main

predictor of success. We have all

heard of the miracle stories where

a troubled kid gets out of his or her

predicament. However, there is one

outstanding factor; they received

some outside help.

I recently watched a video

called, Who Wants To Be A

Volunteer made by the Norwegian

Students and Academics

International Assistance Fund

(SAIH). Its a spin off of the

American television show wherea young white woman competes

to Save Africa. The video makes

fun of the growing trend of students

visiting Africa, but without

altruism.

Western civilization loves the

self gratication of volunteerism,

but lacks the knowledge of the

injustices going on right underneath

their noses.

That being said, once we

recognize the commodication of

daily life, we can try to understand

those who are less fortunate and do

something to change it.

So dont feel obligated to

spend $5,000 in order to help

others when in reality, its just away for you to travel.

Due to day-to-day consumerism,

people in our own community

struggle to economically advance.

Begin to help them rst. Educate

our youth and be the person who isa part of the miracle.

What are you most

thankful for?

Being able to come

to this college. Its

awesome.

The current state of race on television shows

Rethink westernized volunteerism

STUDENTSSPEAK

5November 13, 2014

American television has never had a good

track record for properly representing the variety

of races and ethnicities that exist in American

society. The extreme white-washing of older

television shows is somewhat understandable.

Television became popular in the 1940s, when

racism was much more prevalent. Almost all

characters on television were white at the time,

and the few that werent were mostly relegated

to one-dimensional stereotypes.

Today, while racism still exists, our society

has become much more accepting of other

cultures. And in the past few years, television

shows have begun to reect this.

Many television shows of the past decade

have included more people of color in the main

cast, instead of the token minority in a sea of

white faces. The Walking Dead features

multiple black actors, including Danai Gurira as

the sword-wielding Michonne and The Wires

Chad Coleman as Tyreese. It also stars Steven

Yuen as Glenn, one of the few prominent Asiancharacters currently on television.

Another example of diverse television

is the new ABC show How to Get Away

with Murder. The legal drama has a diverse

ensemble cast and revolves around a group of

law students who work for their professor, a

criminal defense lawyer. Each week, the group

helps their professor defend criminals who

would otherwise go to prison.

The show is helmed by Viola Davis, who

plays a ruthless criminal defense lawyer who

will do anything to make sure her client receives

a not-guilty verdict. Her character is complex

and morally grayin the rst episode, she

humiliates her boyfriend on the stand in order

to win her case. She states that she does not

care if her client is actually guilty and willingly

represents a confessed murderer. But at the same

time, she strongly believes in justice and defends

an innocent woman accused of murder, despite

the fact that most people thought she was guilty.

But the rare moral complexity of Davis

character is not the only progressive aspect of

the show. In the end of the fourth episode, Davis

removes her makeup and wig in an emotional

scene that conveys the characters weariness.

Many critics have praised this scene both for

Davis powerful acting and for the challenge it

presents to traditional standards of beauty.The Wall Street Journal reported on Oct. 17

that the scene was originally Davis idea. She

said she wanted to show her character peeling

away the layers of beauty. She wanted to do this

in order to show how many women, especially

black women, wear a mask in order to comply

with societys standards of beauty. Her character

wears makeup and a wig in order to be accepted

by her peers. By showing her take it off, the

show demonstrates the length women go to in

order to be accepted.

But even with shows like How to Get

Away with Murder and The Walking Dead

adding more diversity to television, the lack of

representation of minority groups in television is

still a serious issue. A study published University

of California at Los Angeles earlier this year

shows that 84 percent of main characters on

television are white, compared to the 77 percent

population in the US.

Despite the growing amount of diversity in

television, most television shows are still helmed

by white characters. NBCs Hannibal casts

many minority actors in supporting roles, but

the two leading characters, Hannibal Lector and

Will Graham, are both white. ABCs Scandal,

starring Kerry Washington, was the rst show

in thirty years with a black female lead when it

premiered in 2012. Other shows, like Game ofThrones, have all-white casts.

Diversity on television is increasing with new

shows like How to Get Away with Murder, and

many actors of color like Viola Davis are nding

roles on television. But while the problem is

getting better, the over-representation of white

people is something we need to be aware of.

ZACHARYWOODWORTH

This semester, a new English class coincides

with the new creative writing major offered

this year. The class, Writing and Community,

integrates creative writing knowledge at Berry

with the Rome community.

Sandra Meek, Dana professor of English,

rhetoric and writing, knew several years ago

that when she designed the creative writing

major, she wanted to incorporate classes that

were unique to Berry. Writing and Community

and Writing and Place are the two Berry-unique

classes that were created for the major.

(Writing and Community) is a combination

of practical experience and academic study,

senior Chelsea Risley said. Were studying the

concept of creative writing in the community

as service and therapy and weve done severalpractical experiences.

The class is small, consisting of only seven

students.

(The class size) makes planning really hard,

but also shows that working in a group requires

everyones input and it changes your views on

how to connect with other people, senior Bailey

Merlin said.

In class, students learn about creative

writing programs around the nation, as well as

creative writing used as a therapy program. They

study how writing can benet Alzheimers and

dementia patients as well as people in hospice,

prisons and juvenile detention centers.

Through this, each student was given the

assignment to plan their own creative writing

program that they could possibly launch after

they graduate.

I did my (program for) teenagers in

domestically violent homes, senior Bailey

Merlin said. They can come once a week to a

therapy slash creative writing session to help

them work through their issues in a healthy way.

Risleys project centers around students who

are learning English as a second language in

elementary schools around Rome.

Right now (I planned the program) just for

the project, but it has been really interesting, so

I may pursue it later, depending on where I end

up, she said.

The class rst project was planning a public

reading to help raise money for the revival of

the Writers Academy at Southeast Elementary

School, a school in south Rome. The students

organized the entire event, and they received theopportunity to read their own poetry out loud

during the reading.

The reading, called Poets for Change, was

held at the Brewhouse on Broad Street on Sept.

30 and raised $350 for the elementary school.

The money will allow the elementary school

students to publish a pamphlet at the end of

the year that will document their best creative

writing work.

The students other project was planned

the summer before the program began. Meek

initiated a partnership with the director of the

Sara Hightower Regional Library, Delana

Hickman. She told Hickman a loose plan for the

program, although Meek wanted the students to

create the nal program.

In September, the students met with Hickmanwith a proposed program, Utterances, which she

accepted.

It was great. She was really excited, Risley

said. Theres never been any program like this

at the library. She was excited to have something

to bring teens in (to the library).

Utterances is a creative writing program for

high school students that has been meeting forthree weeks.

We want to get them involved with creative

writing, show them that its fun, while also

educating them about writing in general, Merlin

said.

On the rst week, seven students arrived at

the workshop. The number grew to nine the next

week and students hope that the attendance rates

will continue to rise at the sessions.

In these sessions, the high school students

participate in different activities that exercise

their imaginations and writing skills. In one

activity, the students pass around a Mr. Potato

Head and each take a body part. They must then

write a story in which the body part they chose

plays a central role. Merlin gave the example of

an arm tattoo being a dening trait of a characterif a student received an arm from the Potato

Head doll.

The class will run for four weeks. On the last

week, the students will host a reading celebration

in which the high school students will receive

their pamphlets and have the opportunity to

present their work aloud.

Outside their community involvement, the

Writing and Community class has benets that

go beyond the college setting.

I love to write so I was interested in nding

different ways I can pursue this professionally,

Risley said. Its given me some experience

to test the waters and see if I enjoy leading

workshops, and its opened my mind to a lot of

things I didnt know existed.

Meek said she believes this teachingexperience will allow the students to receive

teaching assistant roles in graduate school since

they now have the experience of creating a

program and teaching all of its lessons.

For Merlin, the class benets have more

long-lasting effects.

After taking this class, I discovered that

I really would like to start a creative writingprogram that centers around therapy or maybe

even getting my own counseling license so I can

be a benet to society as a whole, Merlin said.

Id say it changed my outlook on life a lot.

Through their partnerships with the

community as well as the programs they planned

individually, this new addition to the creative

writing major gives students experience in using

their interests and talents in writing to benet

others.

Its been really exciting to see how condent

theyre really becoming and doing pretty

amazing work in unfamiliar places, Meek said.

Meek said, after this semester, the Writing

and Community class will be offered every third

semester and taught by either Meek or William

Donnelly, assistant professor of English, rhetoricand writing.

Each time we teach (this class), it will be

a new incarnation, but there are lasting effects

from each of these projects, Meek said.

Although this class seems to be a success for

the students involved, a question still remains

about the future of Utterances. Once the semester

is over, the students have no obligation to return

to the program they initially created. However,

Meek said that she hopes the students will

continue working with the high school students

either in continuing with the workshop setting or

initiating mentoring.

Im hoping the students will not want to let

them go, Meek said. Its the end of class for us,

but for them its the middle of the year. It would

be nice to continue this, but its up to them. Merlin hopes that once the class ends,

someone will continue the project where her

class left off.

Our class, I dont think will be doing this

again. But were making a lesson plan so a class

after us can do (this program) again. I hope

someone does, Merlin said.

academics and community servicePsychology class starts Berry Friends project

This semester, the psychology department offers a class

called Introduction to Exceptional Children and Youth. This

class teaches students about people with disabilities, focusing

on children in the classroom. Chair of the psychology

department and professor of psychology Michelle Haney

teaches the class, and requires 15 hours of eld experience.

Most students choose to work with special needs children

in the classroom to meet this requirement, Haney said.

But another option is a new project that partners students

with adults in the Rome community who have intellectual

disabilities.

This project is called Berry Friends, and is a collaboration

between Berry and Developing Independence Growth and

Security (DIGS), a Rome organization that provides services

for adults with intellectual disabilities.

The American Association on Intellectual and

Developmental Disabilities denes an intellectual disability asbeing characterized by signicant limitations in intellectual

learning and adaptive behavior.

In previous years, Haneys class has worked with DIGS to

put on events for adults with disabilities. Students would go

to off campus events, and invited them to events on campus.

Students took DIGS members to last years Scary Berry

event. This year, the class took the project a step further.

Berry Friends is building on what weve done in the past,

but this year we actually partnered members of the community

with intellectual disabilities with specic students, Haney

said.

Junior Jordan Nale is one of the students in the class that

chose to participate in the project. Her partner is a DIGS

member who attends Rome High School. He is graduating

in December.

Its been an eye-opener for sure, Nale said. (In Berry

Friends) you get to know people on a deeper level than you

would through anything else.

Nale and other students participated in a number of events

this semester with their Berry Friends. They invited their

friends to a womens soccer game, and had a cookout after.They also hosted a Halloween movie night that was open to

all students. At the end of this month, the students and their

friends will conclude the project with a dinner at Las Palmas.

Nale is an exercise science major and wants to become an

occupational therapist and help people with disabilities live

easier, more productive lives.

The project allows students to form individual relationships

with DIGS members, providing both groups with new

relationships and learning opportunities.

Nale said most people are uncomfortable around people

with intellectual disabilities because theyre different, and

they dont know what to say.

Junior Jillian McDonnell participated in Berry Friends

through Haneys Exceptional Children class, and opened the

project up to members of Sunshine Cottage. The cottage is

one of the service cottages, focusing on working with people

with disabilities.A lot of the individuals dont get the chance to do the

things we get to do, McDonnell said. Its been fun including

them because they absolutely love it. They love talking to you

and getting to know you better.

Amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education

Act enacted in 2004 require that public schools give children

with intellectual disabilities access to resources that allow

intellectually challenged children to learn and socialize in

school. However, after graduation, these individuals lose

access to these resources.

For this reason, many people with intellectual disabilities

live at home their whole lives, or end up living on the street.

What happens is they sit at home. They have no social

engagement, no jobs, Haney said. They stagnate. They

dont grow or develop.

Part of the reason for the lack of resources for intellectually

disabled adults is the lack of institutions able to provide

for them. Across the U.S., mental institutions have closed

down because of rising costs. Northwest Georgia Regional

Hospital, the only mental healthcare facility in Rome, closed

in 2011 for this reason. This makes it difcult for these adultsto function in society because they do not have any resources

to help them.

In response to this lack of resources, parents and teachers

of people with special needs formed DIGS in order to provide

adults with the resources to live fullling, independent lives.

The non-prot organization is meant to provide safe housing,

work and leisure opportunities for adults with developmental

challenges, according to the organizations website.

DIGS provides intellectually challenged adults with

opportunities to socialize with people like them. They

offer a variety of activities, including baseball, choir and

photography. Haney said while this is very important, these

adults do not get the opportunity to spend time with people

that do not have disabilities.

The Berry Friends project provides these disabled adults

with the opportunity to interact with Berry students on a

personal level.We are trying to create friendships and learn about people

that have different experiences than we have, and provide

an opportunity for people that do not have access to Berry

College to get to have some of those experiences and I think

we all benet from that, Haney said.

Last year, students in the Exceptional Children class and

members of DIGS celebrated the end of the semester by going

out to dinner at Bella Roma.

We sat right in the middle of the restaurant, Haney said.

We had such a lovely time. We ate, we talked about the fun

things we had done. It was really wonderful.

When the meal was over, Haney and the students

discovered that an anonymous person had paid for their meal.

That was like an afrmation from the community that

were doing the right thing, Haney said.

Haney hopes to continue the project next semester.

Berry Singers concert thrills audienceCOMMENTARY

BY SAIF SARFANIstaff reporter

Polished and poised, the

Berry Singers gave a smashing

performance on Nov. 11 atFrost Chapel. Directed by Berry

Colleges Harry Musselwhite,

senior lecturer of music, the

captivatingly eloquent performance

featured a set of four sacred music

selections: Adoramus Te, O

For a Thousand Tongues To Sing,

I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes and

Gloria. The selections were

brought to life by the singers

melodious voices, which left the

attendees entranced.

Students began rehearsing at the

beginning of the semester as a class

for Musselwhite.

Members of Berry Singers

are talented students who have

auditioned and been carefuly

selected to participate in the

ensemble.

The students represent a large

variety of other programs, majors

and interests found across

campus. Some have even received

scholarship funds to honor their

talents.Most of the students take the

class because they enjoy singing

and love to perform, junior

Austin Hamilton, a bass singer,

said. Any chance we get to create

and share beautiful music is a goal

of ours. Musselwhite always says

make beautiful music.

The pianist, Steven Wooddell,Musslewhites conducting and

the 20 singers readiness paved

the way for the evenings rst

piece Adoramus Te, a 16th

century chant-style Christian

hymn. The second piece was

O For a Thousand Tongues To

Sing, which includes many

Biblical allusions. The third song

performed was I Will Lift Up

Mine Eyes.

It was the most special and

most challenging song, but (also)

the one we (all) were most excited

about, senior Whitney Dufe, an

alto singer, said.

I had fun singing under the

direction of the esteemed HarryMusselwhite [and] with such a

high caliber group, senior Greg

Robbins, a bass singer, said, This

group challenges me to sing at my

best.

The harmonious voices lled

the audiences hearts with joy and

awe, especially while listening to

the nal piece, Gloria, which

consisted of three movements:

Gloria, Domine Deus and

Quonium tu solus sanctus.

The performance concluded with

boisterous far-reaching applause,

congratulating the singers for their

excellent voices and professional

demeanor.

Musselwhite spoke about hisexperience with his students whom

he extensively trained for three

hours a week from the start of the

semester.

I hold the group to national

and international standards,

Musselwhite said, I am blessed

with the nest accompanists,

therefore I was able to program

very challenging music that was

rewarding for both the performers

and the audience. Im wonderfully

grateful for the huge audience since

this is my last year at Berry.

Considering all the preparation

he and his choir of students put

forth at this concert, along with

his many years of teaching anddirecting experience, its safe

to say that Musselwhite will be

remembered when he leaves Berry

at this school years end.

Students still have another

opportunity this month to see the

great work Musselwhite does with

his student ensembles. On Nov. 16,

he will direct the Berry College

Concert Choir at the College

Chapel at 3 p.m.

Overall, the brought in a large

audience and successfully captured

their attention for the duration of

the performance.

Spoon River showcases versatility of actorsAnthology style show tells stories of small town

Berry College Theatre

Companys rendition of Spoon

River Anthology opens this

Thursday in Barnwell Chapel.

Published in 1915, Spoon

River Anthology originated as a

collection of 209 poems written

by Edgar Lee Masters. Charles

Aidman adapted for the stage in

1963.

Stories detailing different parts

of life are told from the grave as

characters come back to life and

begin speaking.

Its not a show that is a typical

linear narrative with characters

that remain the same throughout

in dialogue with one another, the

shows director, John Countryman,

associate professor of theater, said.

The townspeople tell their

stories one at a time, occasionally

leading to multiple accounts of

the same story. This format leaves

it to the audience to decide which

telling is most reliable, if any.

The show highlights the

versatility of the actors, as it

includes a large number of

characters. The cast of only eight

actors plays up to eight or nine

characters each.

It forced us to sort of learnhow to differentiate so that when

we walk up, you wouldnt think,

oh thats the same guy again,

sophomore Sam Fuller said.

A few actors stumbled over

words during monologues, which

can surely be attributed to nerves.

However, the biggest concerns

were of off pitch moments during

songs.

There were several harmonies

that never quite sat right and a song

that was out of key for a portion of

its duration. Otherwise, the talent

and skill of the actors is showcased

fairly well.

Because you are introduced to

so many characters in such a short

time, its hard to emotionally attach

to one particular character. Despite

their short-lived appearances, thecharacters stories are very moving.

These (characters) are based

off of real people, the people you

see in diners, the people you see

walking around, just in Victorian

times, junior Heather Pharis said.

One thing that clues the

audience in to the dead nature of

the characters is the stage makeup,

which was wonderfully executed.

The actors faces looked pale and

sullen making it clear that their

characters are no longer walking

among the living.

The costuming was equally

believable with shawls and hats that

are historically appropriate addingto the overall quality of the actors

appearances as well as aiding in the

differentiation between characters.

Each time the actors stepped up

they added or removed an accessory,

providing a visual cue that a new

person is being introduced.

Another helpful hint is the

cemetery sign looming near the

walkway as you approach the

Barnwell Chapel entrance. The

show takes place in the chapel

as opposed to the theater and the

actors use the space well.

They make use of various

unmovable aspects of the chapel

such as the pulpit and the pianos

without making the audience feel as

though these aspects are intruding

or hindering the story.

Overall, the show brings the

audience in to the story of the

community of Spoon River with

an intricate web of dark humor

and heartbreaking stories. It

successfully balances the two

without being excessively morbidand is defnitely worth seeing.

Students can see the show at

Barnwell Chapel from Nov. 13 to

15 at 7:30 p.m., Nov 20 to 22 at

7:30 p.m. and Nov. 23 at 2 p.m.

The mens soccer team won the

SAA championship for the second

time in three years last weekend.

The Vikings beat Birmingham-

Southern College by a score of2-0 in Conway, Ark., to take home

the trophy and receive a bid to the

programs rst-ever NCAA Division

III tournament.

Senior Christian Fulbright

scored both goals for Berry in the

championship match and was named

tournament MVP. He explained how

the team was able to rally from a

slow start to win the championship

match with authority.

In the beginning we started

slow. It took us time to realize that

we belonged in the championship

game, he said. After Birminghams

pressure we grew into the game and

felt we had the run of play goinginto the second half. We could tell

they were fading. We were the more

t team. In the second half we were

able to run at them and make good

things happen.

Senior Zak Wallingford, who

picked up both assists in the game,

said the chemistry he and Fulbright

have built up over four years

culminated in the two goals of the

game.

We worked really well off each

other, and everything just clicked,

he said.

Wallingford said the team had a

chip on its shoulder going into the

championship match because they

had lost to Birmingham earlier in

the season.

We had a lot of people that

doubted us, and that just made it

that much better, Wallingford said.

The rst 15 minutes of the game

against [Birmingham-Southern]

really took it to us. I didnt know if

we were going to be able to bounce

back.

Senior defender Josh Fancher

explained what it was like to play in

the championship match as a senior.

Knowing that it could be the last

game of my college career made it

very real, he said. All the seniors

had the attitude that we were going

to give it all we had and we knewwe had to get the younger guys on

board to have success which we

did.

Berrys team was one of the

smallest in the conference this year

because of injuries and suspensions,

and the team is mostly made up of

underclassmen.

Head coach Richard Vardy said

the team did not really know what

to expect at the beginning of the

season.

Weve had some issues with

injuries and suspensions, and the

small squad has gotten smaller at

times, he said. But throughout the

whole season the guys kept ghting.Every practice the guys have shown

up and trained hard. There have

been no days off really.

In October, the team faced a

tough road stretch in which they lost

three conference games in a row.

Vardy explained how the team

was able to get back on track

in November before the SAA

tournament.

Once we got back home forthose last three conference games,

we just really got focused and

played some good team defense,

he said.

The Vikings entered the SAA

tournament as the fth seed and a

major underdog.

Vardy spoke about the teams

determination in the semi-nal

game against Millsaps College.

Everybody was 100 percent all

90 minutes and realized it could be

the last game of the season and we

defended and defendedand really

came together as much as we had all

season long, he said.

After defeating Millsaps inthe semi-nal, Berry faced a

Birmingham-Southern team that

they had lost to by two goals earlier

in the season.

This time, however, the two

goals would be for the Vikings,

and the SAA championship would

belong to Berry yet again.

Fulbright explained how

winning the championship this year

compared to winning it two yearsago.

This was a much different

feeling from the championship my

sophomore year, he said. This

one was much more of a struggle.

Everything seemed to go right that

year, while this year we dealt with

our fair share of adversity.

Vardy explained how the team

laid everything on the line in the

championship game.

We werent worried about if we

picked up injuries, or if we couldnt

move the next day because we were

so tired, he said. We just wanted

to play our hearts out in that one

game, and well do the same againstEmory.

Berry will take on Emory

University in the NCAA tournament

on Nov. 14 at 6 p.m. in Atlanta.

Berry has a small rivalry with the

out-of-conference, in state, Emory

Eagles soccer team. The Vikings

have beaten the Eagles the past two

years in regular season play, with

Emory taking a narrow 1-0 victory

this year against Berry.Fancher said he is condent

that if the team plays like it did this

weekend, there shouldnt be any

problems against Emory.

We have played well in our

last games and our team has a lot

of condence right now, Fancher

said. We know that Emory is a very

winnable game so we are just going

to keep riding the ship.

Vardy said he expects a close

game and hopes to have a lot of

family and friends out as supporters

in Atlanta.

It is going to be a toss-up

between who wins, he said. Emory

is a team we respect, but a team weknow we can do well against.

The winner of the Berry-Emory

game will advance to take on either

Whitworth University or Covenant

College in the next round of the

NCAA tournament on Saturday at 6

p.m. in Atlanta.
