    Cottage residents promotegirls education worldwide

    Students living in Catherine

    Cottage are participating in the year

    of service program by raising money

    and awareness for girls education.

    The year of service is a

    Residence Life program, OliviaPaige, a resident of Catherine

    Cottage, said.

    Paige said the students who live

    in the cottages develop a service

    project that they carry out through

    the year.

    [The cottage residents] come

    up with a service project that they

    want to complete for that year, and

    they work on that through the year,

    Paige said.

    The residents of Catherine

    Cottage have chosen to focus their

    service project on girls education in

    developing countries.

    The residents said they support

    the organization Girl Up, a campaign

    of the United Nations Foundationwhich focuses on empowering

    girls and helping them receive an

    education.

    Sophomore Mackenzie Ross,

    another resident of Catherine

    Cottage, said the residents chose

    to sponsor Girl Up because of their

    familiarity with the organization.

    We knew about it. It was good

    to have an organization we were

    familiar with when we were startinga completely new process, Ross

    said.

    Paige said the goal of the project

    is to raise money and awareness for

    the cause while educating others in

    the Rome and Berry communities.

    Our goal is to raise $255, which

    would sponsor three girls through the

    program, Paige said. Another goal

    is to just educate as many people as

    we can in the Rome community and

    on Berrys campus about the issue

    of education and the lack thereof in

    developing countries.

    Volleyball wins SAA championshipVikes play Friday in NCAA D-III tournament

    For the second year in the existence of the

    Southern Athletic Association (SAA), the Lady

    Vikings entered the SAA Volleyball Championships

    as regular season conference champions and

    nished the tournament as SAA champions.

    By defeating the Hendrix College Lady

    Warriors on Sunday 3-2, The Lady Vikings

    Volleyball team won their second straight SAA

    championship, and qualied for the NCAA

    Division-III Championships.

    The Lady Vikings will play in the rst round

    of the Atlanta Regional bracket of the NCAA

    Division-III Championsips on Friday at 5:30

    p.m. where they will face the Washington & Lee

    University Lady Generals (28-6).

    It is incredible for this team to have

    accomplished a two-peat, senior setter Stephanie

    Quinn said. The best part about it is getting to

    share it with the majority of the same girls fromlast year.

    Quinn led the team with 44 out of the Lady

    Vikings 28 total assists during the championship

    match. Last season, Quinn was named tournament

    MVP following a 40-assist game on the Lady

    Vikings way to defeating the Millsaps College

    Majors 3-1 (in the Inaugural SAA Volleyball

    Championships).

    Sophomore middle blocker Katie ORourke

    tallied 15 kills and eight blocks for the Lady

    Vikings and was named this years tournament

    MVP.

    Katie is a hard worker, McCathren said.

    Every day at practice and in games she is fully

    engaged. What she really brings to the team, aside

    from her awesome hitting ability, is her energy.

    And with the energy she brings some of the best

    hitting ability on the team.

    Freshman outside hitter Mary-Michael

    McCathren said one of the teams main focuses for

    this season was to improve daily, regardless of the

    outcome of the games.

    Girl UpCONTINUED FROM P. 1

    Catherine Cottages rst event was a showing of the

    lm Girl Rising on Nov. 6. Girl Rising tells the

    stories of nine girls around the world and their struggles to

    receive an education.

    We have only done one event thus far, Girl Rising,

    which was the lm, and we took donations at that [from]

    anyone who was willing to give, Ross said. We had

    a table in Krannert to promote the movie, and we had a

    donation help out for that too.

    Ross said the lm was chosen for several reasons,including its connection to the cause and its helpfulness

    for Berry students.

    It just seemed like the perfect opportunity, to help

    people in Berry, educate them, get our name out there, get

    the project out and help Berry students in the process,

    Ross said.

    The lm screening was co-sponsored by several

    other campus organizations including Residence Life,

    the Student Activities Ofce, Berry College Volunteer

    Services, KCAB, the Womens and Gender Studies

    program and EMPOWER.

    Paige said there were approximately 120 people at the

    showing of the lm.

    Ross said Catherine Cottage is also planning to

    participate in other events to collect more donations for

    the cause.

    Nov. 23, we will be co-sponsoring Miss Berry with

    KCAB, Ross said. Half of the proceeds from Miss Berry

    will go to Girl Up.

    Paige said that their cause is one that goes unknown tomostmaking it important to address.

    A lot of people dont know that a lot of girls arent

    able to go to school worldwide, Paige said.

    Both Paige and Ross agree that this is a project that

    they hope to carry on into next year.

    Panel explores idea of beauty

    The Cultural Perceptions of

    Beauty Panel, held on Nov. 12,

    discussed the denition of beauty

    according to modern magazines and

    music videos.

    The panel was sponsored by

    EMPOWER and the womens and

    gender studies program to help

    young women have a healthy body

    image, senior Hannah Henderson,

    president of EMPOWER, said.

    The topics discussed included

    the perceptions of beauty from the

    eyes of African-American women,

    Latina women and white women,

    the effects of Photoshop and the

    pressure to get plastic surgery.

    First, junior Sara Gheesling

    presented examples of how many

    magazines seem to be encouragingindividuality and embracing your

    body when that is not really the

    case. One of the examples used was

    a page from Seventeen magazine

    that was meant to be a fashion guide

    for a curvy woman. At rst glance

    one might think this is simply trying

    to help curvy women embrace their

    bodies with the right clothes,

    but many of the clothes actually

    minimized and hid the curvy

    womans body.

    It is an asset to these companies

    to seek out a girl who feels remotely

    poor about herself, Gheesling said.

    All of that is going to help...tie in

    revenue, and thats all theyre reallythinking about.

    Henderson then discussed many

    magazines geared toward Latina

    and African-American women.

    These magazines have many of the

    same negative effects on womensbody image through emphasizing

    what African-American and Latina

    women should look like according

    to stereotypes.

    Henderson showed multiple

    magazine covers, advertisements

    and photos where black womens

    skin tones had been considerably

    lightened. This is because of a

    major pressure for black women to

    be light-skinned to match a white

    denition of beauty.

    Especially looking at rap

    music videos, black women are so

    sexualized, Henderson said. The

    emphasis is on very large breasts

    and very large butt. Even in real lifeblack women tend to be more curvy

    but its just hyper-sexualized in the

    media.

    Senior Lauren Eason took over

    the discussion and revealed the

    realities of Photoshop by showinga video sponsored by Dove that is a

    high-speed Photoshop process. The

    woman in the video looks nothing

    like the editors nished product.

    Another important topic Eason

    covered was the huge pressure

    for women to surgically enhance

    themselves. Eason countered this

    by explaining the dangers of many

    of these surgeries and why they

    are unnecessary for maintaining a

    healthy body image.

    Just like pictures, video can also

    be edited to enhance the looks of

    whomever may be featured, and

    this also affects women. Senior

    Katie Chernicky used stills from thethree most viewed music videos of

    the month of October as examples.

    Each music video had images where

    women were sexualized and clearly

    edited or enhanced.

    Construction of the football

    stadium, which has been named

    Valhalla, and the welcome center

    will not begin until all of the funds

    are raised.

    The stadium will be built

    directly across the Cage parking

    lot in what is now a wooded area,

    Brian Erb, vice president for

    nance, said.

    It will take roughly nine months

    to nish the stadium. The design

    will be unique to Berry and the

    preferences of its students.

    The stadium is currently being

    designed to accommodate 1,800

    bleacher seats in addition to the

    approximate 750 capacity...on the

    far side of the eld which will allow

    for people to bring blankets and

    chairs and create their own space to

    cheer the team on, Erb said.

    Berry College President Stephen

    R. Briggs said there are current

    plans to expand seating capacity of

    the stadium.

    This decision was made after

    consideration of attendance for this

    seasons football games.

    Briggs said about half the funds

    needed to build the stadium have

    already been raised.

    In addition to the unique

    design, the stadium will have

    many purposes. It will not only

    accommodate football but track

    and lacrosse as well.

    The space will also be able to

    host concerts and other outdoor

    events. The Shipyard football

    tailgate will be located in the Cage

    parking lot for easy access to the

    stadium.

    There are no current plans to

    build additional parking. Overow

    will have to park in different lots on

    campus.

    Along with the new stadium,

    there will be a new welcome center

    built 100 yards from the gatehouse.

    The current gatehouse has been

    serving Berry since the 1960s.

    One half of the new building will

    accommodate the dispatch duties

    and security operations, and the

    other half will serve as the actual

    welcome area.

    The new center will be much

    better equipped to check in guests

    to the college 24 hours a day,

    instead of just after normal business

    hours, Bobby Abrams, chief of

    campus police, said.

    This will help make sure our

    campus is safe at all hours of the

    day and guests are appropriately

    directed to wherever they may

    need to go on campus. The location

    of the new gatehouse is currently

    marked with small white ags on

    the side of the road.

    Erb said that the new welcome

    center will help our campus safety

    ofce, and others, such as perhaps

    our admissions staff at certain

    times, to provide better customer

    service in a more modern facility.

    Health is what mattersLast week, Chip Wilson, the

    founder of the athletic apparel store

    Lululemon, made a defense against

    their leggings for running being

    too sheer. Instead of blaming the

    products material, he resorted to fat

    shaming. He said, Quite frankly,

    some peoples bodies just dont

    actually work. Its about the rubbing

    of the thighs.

    Unfortunately, this isnt the rst

    time a clothing company has made

    such supercial remarks. Some

    companies only market to certain

    consumer groups, and unfortunately

    this limits people above a certain

    size. But what it comes down to is

    thisdoes it really matter what size

    a person is? Should it really matter

    if we wear a small or a large? We

    should be taking into account how

    healthy a person is, not what sizethey wear.

    When Lululemon or any other

    company make comments about

    how only skinny people should

    wear their clothes, do they know

    they are being discriminatory to

    current and potential customers?

    Some stores live by the Kate Moss

    quote, Nothing tastes as good as

    skinny feels. We should be living

    in a society that teaches, Nothing

    feels as good as healthy feels. We

    shouldnt care about someones

    size; we should care that they are

    maintaining a healthy lifestyle and

    balancing their diet, exercise plan

    and extracurricular activities. Dont

    athletic apparel companies want

    people who have muscle and practice

    healthy living wearing their clothes?

    What these companies dont

    always realize is that discrimination

    in business practices alienates a lot

    of potential and existing customers.

    They have the wrong idea. Your body

    is not the problem; social constraints

    on what your body should look

    like are the problem. Lululemonhas issued an apology for making

    exclusive comments about who

    should wear their clothing. Listen

    here, whats cool is being healthy

    not feeling constrained to a size that

    doesnt t your body.

    While daydreaming in class the other day, I began

    thinking about how much depth of detail the average

    author puts into their books. Im not talking about a name

    meaning something special or a birthday lining up with

    this astronomical event or another. I mean real, in-depth

    detail that maybe even the author didnt catch the rst timearound.

    Ill use J. K. Rowlings Harry Potter. For those of you

    who dont like Harry Potter, bear with me for a little while;

    Ill explain everything so its easy to understand. In the

    world of Harry Potter, there are winged horse-like creatures

    called thestrals that are scaly and have bat-like wings. These

    creatures are visible only to those who have witnessed death

    at least once (and fully accepted the concept). If a person

    does not t into this category, thestrals are invisible, yet are

    still able to interact with humans. For example, witches and

    wizards can ride a thestral even if they cannot see it.

    With this understanding of thestrals, lets examine the

    most powerful wand in the world: the Elder Wand. These are

    connected because the core of the Elder Wand is comprised

    of thestral mane hair. Therefore, in order to truly use the

    Elder Wand, one must become a master of death.

    The scope of tragedy contained within this connection

    is easily lost on many, even those of us who have read the

    books and seen the movies more than a few t imes. Ill start

    with thestrals themselves. They are truly a representation

    of utter loss, yet also of utter beauty because of what they

    represent. When a person sees the thestral, it is a perfect

    and sometimes cruel symbol of that which will never return

    to them; they are sometimes the representation of the last

    memory a person will ever have of that special someone

    they lost.

    Yet, when thestral hair is used in the Elder Wand, the

    owner of the Wand must be able to overcome the tragedy of

    Death. They have become the master of the grave, using its

    power for their own purpose. Mortality essentially becomes

    a source of life-giving power for whomever can seize it.This connection is applicable in our own world. We all

    face tragedy. We all, at one time or another, will face the

    death of a loved one. And when we do face this reality and

    accept it for what it is, we begin to see the world through

    a different scope. We experience those little thingsthat

    song on the radio, that Christmas gift from a few years

    backthat bring on a bittersweet memory in which we

    remember that loved one and the life they lived. These

    vestiges of joy are our thestrals. They are the (sometimes

    painful) reminder of what weve lost, what will never come

    back to us. Yet through these mementos, the memory of that

    special person never truly dies.

    It is overcoming the vacancy in the soul which

    accompanies the icy reality of death that is the true feat.

    When one is able to harness the void that Death leaves

    behind and instead mold it into a positive force, one

    becomes tha t which Death despises. One essentially makes

    Death his slave, forcing it to be a pedestal from which hope

    of a tomorrow, free from the shackles of despair, can be

    shone to the world.

    This idea of mastering death all seems whimsical and

    idealistic. But applying these principles is simpler than it

    may seem. About a year and a half ago, my mother passed

    away. After this, I was severely depressed and unwilling to

    see the world as anything but a black abyss, sucking away

    any happiness that may possibly cross my path. I felt hatred

    for all that was in existence and simply wanted to dive into

    the void, to oat endlessly forever. Yet it was the memory

    of my mother and her passion for life and all she did that

    ushered me back into reality. I remember her thirst to

    simply live when I begin the trek back to the desolate realmof anguish, placing in me a renewed ame to live in such a

    way that she would be proud of her son. I have allowed her

    memory, as painful as it sometimes is to recall, to become a

    pillar on which I build my life.

    This is not to say that the memory of Death itself does

    not overwhelm me at times; it is human nature for tragedy

    to engulf our emotions. In fact, humans have a tendency

    to seek out this tragic emotion in music, theatre and other

    forms of entertainment. Yet allowing Death to rule our

    lives can demolish the human psyche until we are nothing

    but hollow shells. Humans possess the strength to conquer

    adversity, whether by simply overpowering said adversity

    or by being clever enough to create tools; this is the basis

    of human nature, and it is what has allowed us to persevere

    as a species. We have used strength to create structures;

    we have created medicine to subdue disease. Overcoming

    the devastation of witnessing death is no different. We

    are capable of restraining Death and using it for our own

    purposes, whether th rough sheer mental strength or by use

    of other tools.

    It is impossible to reverse death; humans can simply

    accept it and use it to our own advantage. We are the

    Masters of Death if we nd within ourselves the strength to

    embrace this truth. Sometimes it takes a simple reread of a

    favorite book to renew the strength already within us.

    Using memories to become the Masters of Death

    How are we doing?

    At 8:55 p.m. last Wednesday, I made an awful

    decision: I walked into my friends room minutes

    before she registered for classes. As we all know,

    class registration can bring high levels of anxiety,

    but, for my friend, this time was different. She was

    one of many nursing students unable to get into

    a class that she needed to take before she could

    apply to the nursing program. Unfortunately, not

    taking this class would make it impossible to

    graduate on time.

    Like we would all do in her situation, she

    emailed her advisor and the professor teaching

    the course to explain her situation and asked if she

    could be added into the class. Unfortunately, she

    received an email back saying that the number of

    people waitl isted was too high, so the professor

    could not add everyone to the class who emailed

    her. The email continued with The decision to

    add students to this course was made independent

    of major and graduation date. Please meet with

    your advisor and chart out an alternative path.

    Scary right? Fortunately in this case, she was able

    to get into the class she needed.

    However, many other students registration

    problems were not solved. The question now is

    how are we going to keep this from happening

    again? After all, its not uncommon for students

    to be initially turned away from classes that they

    need in order to graduate on time. Currently, we

    just rely on the professors ability to add us to

    the class roster. My fear is that with our growing

    size, the day we will no longer be able to do this

    is drawing near.

    When this day comes, there will not be one

    person to blame because the problem lies in our

    current class registration process. Currently,

    when we register for classes, we are only divided

    based upon the prerequisites we have taken and

    the amount of course hours we have earned.

    Essentially, the system at hand is held together by

    faith that those who need certain classes in order

    to graduate on time will probably get them when

    they reach a certain level of seniority.

    In the past we have accepted that this faith-

    based system is the way it is and that the only

    choice we have is to cross our ngers and hope

    we get the courses that we need. As a community,

    not only do we need to stop accepting the current

    system as the only option, but we need to propose

    a solution.

    A better registration system needs to view

    student schedules as sequences of courses rather

    than a series of unrelated classes. It would only

    benet Berry as a whole if students were allowed

    to register for their required classes within their

    major for all four years. Accordingly, general

    education courses should continue using the

    current process, which gives preference to those

    with seniority. This will reduce registration-

    anxiety because students will have the peace of

    mind that they are already signed up for their

    classes within their major and only need to nd

    other general education courses that work with

    their schedule. Additionally, this will allow every

    department to assess the demand for a particular

    class and allow them to plan accordingly.

    Ill be the rst to admit that this system isnt

    perfect, but any system able to see its students

    as on track for a four-year degree is superior to

    a system that only views us as an accumulation

    of course hours. It is more than reasonable to be

    able to register for classes far in advance when we

    invest thousands of dollars to be here. I believe

    that to change the status given we need to stop just

    complaining to our friends about it.

    The frustration of class registration and how to make it better

    Why cant we all just get along?Something thats really been

    bothering me since I have been at

    Berry is this idea of courtesy. Youdthink that in the South we would be

    surrounded by people who are oozing

    with hospitality.

    Quite the contrary.

    It seems like everywhere I turn

    I am surrounded by people who are

    so inconsiderate, especially in our

    residence halls. Berry is one of those

    schools that has a lot of really old

    buildings, and I get that. You have

    the creaky oors, the vents where

    you hear your lower neighbors

    and of course the paper thin walls.

    That makes sense to me. You will

    occasionally hear people, and, of

    course, people will occasionally hear

    you. Here are just a few examples of

    my time at Berry when I came across

    some not so hospitable students:

    Sophomore year was full of its

    annoyances. My roommate and I lived

    in Clara near both a stairwell and

    the community kitchen. Most days,

    everything was ne. Then nighttime

    would come, and people would get

    so loud and leave the door to the

    kitchen open. Even if my roommate

    or I went up there and asked politely,

    the kitchen users would continue to

    be extremely loud. It became almost

    impossible to sleep at times because

    people would be up there studying

    and yelling. But the annoyances did

    not end that year.

    One of my favorite, albeit the

    most frustrating, of my stories comes

    from junior year. My roommate andI lived next door to a girl who was

    in a single. She was really nice, and

    I had no problems with her. I do

    however have a deep hatred for her

    alarm clock. She had one of those

    really loud alarm clocks that wouldgo and hide, so you had to nd it

    before you cou ld tu rn it off. At least,

    I think that was what it was because

    on certain weekends, it seemed like

    she couldnt nd it. It would go off

    for hours, and sounded like it was

    coming from inside our room. I would

    constantly have to go ask the RA to

    do something because it would wake

    me up at 7 a.m. on a Saturday when I

    could have potentially slept till noon.

    Finally, we come to this year.

    Centennial is one of those buildings

    where every step can be heard by

    the people below you. Its a curse

    of having a nicer place to live. The

    other downside is that the people who

    live directly above us just dont seem

    to care. They run up and down the

    length of their place, they slam doors

    and they occasionally jump so hard

    that they shake our oor. Weve been

    upstairs and asked them to politely

    stop, and they denied that anything

    was happening and then laughed as

    we walked out. There is no excuse for

    people to be so blatantly rude to those

    who live below them.

    Yes, Ive talked to RAs multiple

    times, and yes, theyve always done

    their best, but in the end it should be

    the students of Berry who make sure

    that they are being considerate. Why

    is it so hard to take a second and think

    Hey, maybe me jumping around and

    being obnoxious might be keeping

    someone up and keeping them frommuch needed rest? Lets try to be

    more considerate for the people who

    live around us.

    AM INITIATIVEup jobs in the

    chool, and in

    ill not impact

    essional way,

    e. The Berry

    ause there are

    many on campus jobs that provide insight

    into specic elds of work that students

    intend to pursue.

    Over the past few years, plans have been

    under way to make Berrys work program

    even more effective. While it has been

    providing jobs and practical work experience

    for students, the work program still has

    room for improvement. Plans have been

    made to accomplish the goals laid out for the

    work program, and students can expect new

    developments coming soon.

    While the student work program has provided countless

    students with jobs for years, new steps are being taken to

    ensure that students are not only getting a paycheck but

    also have the opportunity to work on a well-operating team

    of motivated individuals. The work program has come a

    long way since its earliest days back when sewing school

    uniforms was one of the on-campus jobs, but President

    Stephen R. Briggs and Dean of Student Enterprises Rufus

    Massey intend to see our student work program move from

    good to excellent.

    Berry has many ofces that are run primarily by students

    in the work program. This environment of student-run

    departments can either cause students to step up and become

    strong leaders, or the college could become stagnant due to

    lack of professional leadership.

    Briggs and Massey have begun the Team Initiatives

    Project to ensure that students are able to get the most out

    of their student work experience, as well as to ensure that

    the ofces and groups on campus are run efciently.

    Briggs said he felt that Berry needed to make the work

    program number one in the nation, to live up to the title of

    premier work program that is frequently used to market

    Berry to incoming students.

    Junior Alex Brizzi, current Director of Health and

    Wellness Center PR, is training to be the director of this

    project under the advisement of Massey.

    The project will be tested on 15 work teams: Chemistry

    Lab, Library Technical Services, Viking Fusion, Prospect

    Research, BITS, Equine Center, House O Dreams Grounds

    Crew, Tree Team, Oak Hill Gift Shop, Admissions, Financial

    Aid, Viking Furniture, BCVS, Cage Athletic Center and the

    Cottages.

    The teams selected will be the trial teams for the Mark

    Miller model, to test its effectiveness in practice. According

    to Brizzi, the trials will be conducted on these teams during

    the spring semester with the hopes of being implemented in

    all student work groups on campus by fall semester 2014.

    The Mark Miller model provides the backbone for the

    new project, and it will give the experimental teams the

    chance to test how effective this potential model could be if

    every campus work group were to adopt its concepts.

    According to Mark Miller, a high performance

    team is characterized by criteria including talent, skills,

    community, and leadership, which are all components that

    work together to produce signicantly better outcomes

    than other teams, said Brizzi. The purpose of the Teams

    Initiative Project is to develop and execute a strategy for

    creating high performance teams with the potential for

    improving performance, promoting student development

    and accelerating leadership development.

    The project has the potential to take current student

    jobs and grow them to provide each student worker with

    the opportunity to work in a highly effective and impactful

    team. The concept for this project has been in the works for

    years, and it may become a campus-wide change within the

    next two semesters.

    Briggs believes that the new changes will be a good

    return investment for both the students and Berry as whole.

    Latin dance event draws sizable crowd

    On Saturday, Berry students and

    Rome community members alikeexperienced an evening of authentic

    Latin music and dancing.

    Around 250 individuals gathered

    in Ford Dining Hall to dance the

    night away. It was a collaborative

    event hosted by the Berry College

    Dance Troupe, Sigma Delta Pi, the

    Swing and Ballroom Dance Club

    and Orgullo, Berrys Hispanic

    pride organization. While CE

    credit was offered, the gala was

    primarily a fundraiser event for the

    dance troupe, as they are looking to

    purchase a new sound system for

    their annual dance concert.

    The troupe has hosted several

    other dances this semester of varying

    themes but was excited about joining

    forces with sister organizations to

    create a successful event. Jeanne

    Schul, Dance Specialist and Artistic

    Director of the Berry College Dance

    Troupe, was very happy with the

    way that the event turned out.

    It was a wonderful opportunity

    for Berry students to get a sense

    of Latin culture, which always

    involves live music and dancing, and

    members of the Spanish-speaking

    community of Rome wholeheartedly

    joined the festivities, Schul said.

    The event featured a Latin

    American band called Conjunto

    Augmento. They performed an

    array of musical pieces, focusingon salsa, merengue, bachata and

    cumbia dance styles. Attendees

    were exposed to many new and

    exotic styles of dance, and had the

    opportunity to learn basic dance

    steps from members of the dance

    troupe and Swing and Ballroom

    Dance Club. It was educational for

    seasoned professionals and new

    dancers alike.

    It was defnitely a greatlearning

    experience, sophomore Robert

    Gibase said. I have never

    par ticipated in any thi ng like thisbefore. There was great music

    and food, and I would definitely

    attend again.

    Students with a dancebackground

    were exposed to new dance traditions,

    which was a change of pace and

    style for many.

    For students used to dancing

    to canned music, interacting with

    the band was exciting, as well

    as educational, Schul said. Latin

    dance is designed to respond

    to Latin musicians, so the

    circle was completed. Students

    who participated in the Latin

    Dance & Culture class this past

    Maymesterburned up the dance oor,

    demonstrating all the fgures they

    learned while in Latin America.

    Berry students were not the only

    ones to participate in this event.

    Bernadette Hoy, a Rome resident

    originally from Belize, heard about

    the event and decided to bring some

    of her friends.

    We [had] a great time, and it

    was ten dollars well spent, Hoy

    said.

    Schul said she encouragesstudents

    to further explore Latin culture

    this summer by studying abroad in

    Costa Rica. The trip will include

    visits to major cities in Costa

    Rica, a volcano, a rainforest and

    the beach, as well as opportunitiesto learn more about Latin dancing.

    Interested students should contact

    From senior Drew Dillard:

    Its getting cold outside,

    which means that we are

    starting to pile on the clothes.

    What are some helpful tips to

    help layer your look while stillremaining stylish?

    Well, Drew, the only thing

    certain about Georgia weather is

    that a daily forecast is anything

    but certain. Thats why, ladies

    and gentlemen, we need to

    layer. I feel like most people

    understand the necessity of

    layering, but, if youre a total

    Croc-wearing recluse, Ill ll

    you in.

    Layering can not only look

    great when done correctly, but it

    gives you the option to remove

    outer layers should the day

    warm up. Layering also allows

    you to play with combinations

    of different patterns, colors and

    textures.

    That being said, there are a

    few rules you should take into

    account while layeringif

    your goal is to be stylish while

    being warm that isas its easy

    to throw on a bunch of very

    mismatched sweaters and walk

    out of your room looking like a

    frumpy, crazy person.

    The rst rule of layering is the

    most obvious one: The lighter

    fabrics with the tighter ts go

    on rst. Never put a T-shirt on

    over your sweater, unless youre

    trying to make me ugly cry in adark stairwell. Secondly, your

    outer hems should be longer

    than your inner hems. While

    some like having a shirt poking

    out of the bottom of a sweater,

    the look is difcult to pull off.

    Third, its essential not to mix

    too many patterns and colors.

    Though the style world at large

    is moving away from the fear

    of mixing patterns, it is a risky

    move for most people. Also,

    do not be afraid to mix black,

    brown or navy. They are all

    neutral colors and can be mixed

    to a wide degree of success.

    With those rules in mind,layering looks great and is safe

    and fun for the whole family.

    A few last tips for layering:

    1. Textures are excellent to

    explore. Try mixing a denim

    jacket with a cable knit sweater

    or large-knot scarf.

    2. The last layer of your

    ensemble, weather permitting,

    should always be a fairly large

    coat made of wool or another

    equally heavy material. This tip

    is more than just about style, as

    using a heavier overcoat, like

    a pea coat, defends against the

    elements much better than even

    the thickest kni twear.

    3. Dont be afraid to mix

    casual and formal. Adding a

    blazer in between your lighter,

    inner layers and your heavier

    outer layers will set you apart

    from the peasants.

    Singers revive fall concert tradition

    On Sunday, the Berry Singers

    drew an audience of more than 70

    to the College Chapel for their rst

    fall concert in three years.The concert was directed by

    Harry Musselwhite, Senior Lecturer

    and Director of Choral Studies,

    and featured 20 talented vocalists,

    as well as some collaborative

    pieces with faculty members and

    instrumentalists.

    The concert opened with

    Festival Piece on St. Anne by

    Eugene Butler, which featured

    instrumentalists Matt Soares and

    Matthew Robinson on trumpet,

    David Warren and Andy Eddington

    on trombones and Jordan Epperson

    on timpani. The performance

    continued with nine distinctive

    pieces from different musical eras

    including selections by J.S. Bach,

    and Virgil Thompson. Pieces that

    included faculty members were

    Jueves de Sol which featured

    adjunct instructor Luther Enloe

    on guitar and Cantata of Peace

    which featured Adam Hayes,

    Assistant Professor of Music, on the

    trumpet and Chaplain Jonathan

    Huggins as narrator.

    The singers expressed their delight

    to work with alongside 17 faculty

    members and instrumentalists.

    It was great to get to collaborate

    with some of the other faculty

    members and students who joined

    us with percussion and brass,

    Senior Kimberly Bagnell said.

    The concert ended with Ite

    missa est, Deo gratias, which

    featured an upbeat percussion

    ensemble and a trombone solo by

    senior Ahmad Pruitt, who is also a

    member of the Berry Singers.

    I am very proud of the singers

    and the instrumentalists who

    performed at such a high level this

    afternoon, Musselwhite said.

    Other students enjoyed the type

    of entertainment only provided by

    a choral concert such as this one.

    It was different than what I

    am used to; it was in a different

    language. It was a nice way

    to spend a Sunday afternoon,

    sophomore Kara Leigh said.

    The Berry Singers and Berry

    College Concert Choir will be

    performing again for the annual

    Lessons and Carols concert on Dec.

    Walking away from

    The Walking Dead

    (SPOILER ALERT)

    Mad Men may still be AMCs

    most boring show right now, but

    The Walking Dead has been

    creeping up on that title for the past

    two seasons.

    I had high hopes for this season

    of The Walking Dead. There was

    ample opportunity to turn the show

    into the spectacular program it was

    designed to be, but the creators fell

    at again. The introduction of a new

    kind of death for the characters

    was exciting, but it was covered

    up by an excess of dialogue and

    melodrama.This trend began last season

    when the show showed signs

    of leaving the storyline of the

    Walking Dead graphic novels

    for good and the writers had to be

    original with their storyline. The

    show took a couple of elements,

    like the jail setting and the Governor

    character, and dragged them out

    for an entire season, when those

    conicts should have been settled

    within six episodes.

    This season, the writers are

    hitting the same rut. Now that the

    show has completely divorced the

    graphic novels (a real shame; the

    novels are brilliant), the creatorsof the show seem to be in way over

    their heads. For the second season in

    a row, the romance between Maggie

    and Glenn is the source of drama

    for a show that should be focused

    on the drama surrounding surviving

    the undead. The beginning of

    the season was almost exciting.

    New characters were introduced

    and could have developed intosomething interesting. But the

    excitement seemed to be too much

    for the writers, who developed and

    killed off these characters within

    the rst two episodes. Now theyre

    stuck with the same old characters

    and their same old drama.

    All I want is to see a new

    problem. Yes, the Governors a

    terrible guy. But hes had his run;

    its time for a new issue to arise,

    whether that is with a new villain

    or with a new environment. As long

    as its fresh, I really wouldnt mind.

    With the lack of originality and

    the continuation of the same drama

    from season one, Ive decided Imdone with The Walking Dead,

    unless by some miracle they either

    incorporate villains from the novels

    (who are much, much better than

    the Governor) or in some other way

    make the show worthwhile again.

    Conclusion:

    Dont waste your time.

    In the last game of their inaugural

    football season, the Vikings (1-9)

    were defeated by the Sewanee

    University Tigers 28-6 on Saturday

    at Barron Stadium.Although the Vikings ended the

    season with a loss to Sewanee, the

    Vikings played their best statistical

    game of the year. The team scored

    its rst home touchdown against

    a varsity opponent and led the

    game in rst downs (21-19), total

    offense (369-357) and passing yards

    (285-102).

    Head coach Tony Kunczewski

    said he was proud of the effort made

    on Saturday.

    I thought we moved the ball

    well on offense, Kunczewski said.

    It was good to see the touchdown

    at the end of the game and hopefully

    we can start 2014 how we left off in2013, with a score. I felt like our

    guys maintained positive attitudes

    all year. We werent judging

    success based upon wins and losses.

    We were judging success based

    upon seeing improvement week in

    and week out. We wanted to see our

    guys play hard and physical for 60

    minutes each week. I believe we

    did that.

    Freshman quarterback Adam

    Sandin said that Berrys defense

    played great and the offense out-

    gained Sewanees offense.

    I think we played one of our

    best games of the season, Sandin

    said. You denitely could see the

    improvement from week in andweek out. We never lost our drive,

    and I think we showed improvement

    during the game.

    With only a few seconds left

    on the clock, Sandin moved the

    Vikings 71 yards and passed the

    ball to freshman wide receiver Will

    Chromskis who caught the rst

    home touchdown against a varsity

    team in Berry history.

    Due to NCAA rules, no extra

    point could be attempted as no time

    was left on the clock.

    Sophomore wide receiver Jay

    Anderson noted that a few costly

    turnovers were all that made the

    difference between winning and

    losing the game.

    We played hard and were able

    to move the ball on offense, but

    we had trouble nishing drives,

    Anderson said. They were a team

    we could beat. I have no doubt next

    year they will be a team we should

    beat.

    Although the regular season has

    ended, the Vikings will continue to

    hold practices.

    According to Kunczewski, the

    team will have a week break after

    being on a constant grind for the

    past few months.

    Junior runningback Bo Heard

    said that the preparation for football

    starts now.

    Football is a year-round sport,

    Heard said. Every day you take

    off, your opponent gets better.

    As a team, we come back at the

    beginning of next semester for

    workouts, and in March we will

    begin spring practices.

    After Thanksgiving break, the

    team will have partnered workouts

    until Christmas break.

    A workout manual will be given

    to the team that will need to be lled

    out over Christmas break and when

    they return for Spring Semester,

    workout sessions will happen four

    times a week.

    Kunczewski said he was thankful

    for the support shown to this new

    addition to Berrys sports program.

    We very much appreciated the

    support we have gotten all year

    long from the Berry community,

    Kunczewski said. The crowd

    on opening night was amazing.

    I thought the crowd this past

    Saturday was very good as well. We

    are looking forward to continually

    integrating our guys into the Berry

    Community.

    Heard said the inaugural football

    program would not have happened

    without the help and dedication of

    the coaches.

    Starting up a football program

    was a lot more stressful on them

    than it was on us, Heard said.

    They worked diligently at the late

    hours of the night working on lm

    only to come back early in the

    morning and nish it up. They were

    constantly working. None of our

    coaches missed a single practice

    this season, which is incredible.

    They are a great bunch of men that

    work hard for us to be able to enjoy

    this wonderful sport. I cannot be

    more grateful.

    The Vikings will return to action

    in 2014.

    Vikings fall in final game of inaugural season

    QUARTERBACK ADAM SANDIN DROPS back in the pocket to look downeldfor an open receiver. Sandin completed 20 passes on 36 attempts for 286yards against Sewanee. He threw three interceptions in the game, but alsothrew the nal touchdown for the Vikings inaugural season. The touchdownpass was thrown to freshman receiver Will Chromskis.

    Because the Lady Vikings fnished the

    season at the top of the SAA with a 13-1

    conference record and a 25-7 overall record,

    the Lady Vikings were able to host the SAA

    Volleyball Championships at home for the

    second-straight year. This years crowd

    included more than 750 attendees.

    The hype that our fans were creating

    for us was unreal, Quinn said. We could

    not be more thankful for how loud and

    supportive everyone has been at our games

    this year. It was really special being able tolook at my teammates Sunday and see how

    bad they wanted the win and knowing that

    we were all going to work hard to get it.

    Following the tournament, the Lady

    Vikings remained unbeaten at home,

    holding a 13-0 record at the Cage Athletic

    Center.

    Sophomore outside hitter Emily

    Stromberg and junior outside hitter Anna

    Keappler each added 10 kills against the

    Lady Warriors to help the Lady Vikings to

    victor and the NCAA Division-III national

    tournament qualifcation

    The team was unable to compete in the

    NCAA tournament last season because they

    still had probationary status as an NCAA

    Division-III team, meaning they were too

    new to the division to compete nationals.

    We have much different goals for our

    team this year as compared last year,

    sophomore libero Stephanie Steele said.

    Last season our goal was to win the

    conference tournament as to this year

    were were determined to play consistently

    on the road to be able to make the NCAA

    tournament. Its great to know that each

    year we are able to set our goals for

    ourselves higher and higher.

    Quinn said she was very excited about

    competing in the NCAA Division-III

    tournament especially because this is the

    frst year they are elligable.

    Going into [the tournament] isnt

    something that weve been allowed to

    experience until this season, Quinn said.

    So, we have a unique opportunity to

    be able to represent Berry. This team is

    capable of doing immeasurably more than

    people have seen, so Im excited to really

    surprise people with our talent and work

    ethic. Whatever happens, this has been an

    incredible year and getting a bid just to

    Regionals just makes it that much more

    incredible.

    The Lady Vikings are one of eight teams

    in NCAA Division-III to compete in the

    Atlanta Regional bracket that will take

    place at Emory University in Atlanta .

    The Atlanta Regional bracket is just

    one bracket of many in the tournament.

    There are a total of 64 teams from NCAA

    Division-III competing in the overall

    NCAA Division III Championships.

    To be one of the 64 teams in the

    nation selected to compete in the NCAA

    tournament is an honor, Steele said. We

    are all very excited to play this weekend

    and even more excited to be playing so

    close to home. Were working extremely

    hard to prepare for this weekend and cant

    wait to show everyone that we are meant to

    be one of the last teams standing.

    Going into the tournament, the Lady

    Vikings have a 3-4 record against teams

    who are competing in the 2013 NCAA

    Division III Championships.

    Among those losses was a 1-3 loss to

    the Emory University Eagles at the Emory

    National Invi tational on Nov. 2.

    Emory has a 28-3 overall record, and is

    ranked number six in the nation in NCAA

    Division-III.
