Sylvester recovers, hopes to return next semesterBY JESSICA NUNLEY

Managing Editor

Nearly three months after she was first admitted to the hospi-tal on Nov. 18, Brittany Sylvester no longer laid unconscious in a hospital bed, fighting for her life – she was out on a Valentine’s Day date with her boyfriend.

The recovery process from the stroke Brittany endured in November has been a daily un-dertaking, Brad Sylvester, Brit-tany’s father, said. When her brain shifted two centimeters due to a brain bleed caused by an abnor-mal blood clotting disorder called disseminated intravascular coag-ulation, or DIC, Brittany slipped

into a coma and was not expected to live. The subsequent surgery to pull her out of unconsciousness and alleviate the pressure was risky, Brad said, but miraculously it saved her life.

While it is hard to make a full comeback, Brad said, Brittany is doing everything she can to get her life back. Three times per week, Brittany does outpatient therapy to increase her mobility, plus she practices other strength-ening exercises everyday on her own, Brad said.

Jonathan Chestnut, Brittany’s boyfriend, said, “Movement in her left arm and left leg is pro-gressively getting better. She can do a lot of things herself. She can shower on her own, she helps out

in the kitchen, and she can go out to restaurants. She enjoys most of the daily activities of life just with a little assistance. Family friends have stepped up to assist Brittany during the day so her parents can go to work.”

Brittany’s quick recovery stunned the doctors and nurses who assured the family that she would be paralyzed forever.

“Virtually the entire area of her brain that controls her left side motor skills was destroyed in the stroke,” Brad said. “It simply isn’t there anymore. What makes her such a miracle is that her brain is rerouting nerves to areas that were not even used for motor skill before. This is why the ex-perts didn’t think she would ever

walk again. She has amazingly proved them wrong. She’s been a real testi-mony.”

Brad said that he is grateful for Brit-tany’s positive spirit through her whole ordeal. He said that it is a miracle that the trauma to her brain did not affect her personality and intellect.

Brittany plans to return to Evangel in a fall as a sopho-more, right on track with her academic goals.

Today, the campus cele-brates 50 years of learning and studying at the Klaude

Kendrick Library. Students, facul-ty and the public are invited to the library to attend the 50th anniver-sary of the library from 1 to 4 p.m.

According to Evangel archives, the library was the first perma-nent structure added to campus.

When Evangel purchased the school grounds from the military, the previous library, classrooms, offices and residence rooms were in barracks.

Everett Moore, the first head librarian, started accumulating books and materials for the first temporary Evangel library estab-lished in the spring of 1955, which was located where Zimmerman Hall stands today.

About a year later, in May 1956,

the first library was home to 9,520 books and 383 bound periodicals.

In 1960, the Evangel Council-men, who were financial ben-eficiaries of the school, approved funds to build a combined chapel, auditorium and library.

Six months after the building was proposed, Robert Ashcroft, former president of Evangel, be-gan meeting with architects and Evangel Councilmen to begin building the library.

On Oct. 13, 1961, the ground-breaking celebration for the new library took place. The library was roughly completed the following year, and a pre-dedication ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on Oct. 10, 1962.

At this ceremony, the keys to the library were presented to Ash-croft.

Library books and materials were moved into the building in November and December of 1962. The library was officially dedicated on Feb. 22, 1963 during Homecoming.

The board of directors changed the library’s name on May 1, 1986, from Evangel Library to the Klaude Kendrick Library. Klaude Kendrick was the first president of the university.

Daniel Noah, senior, said he has worked in the library as a work study for four school years and two summers.

He said he has learned many things about the library, including how to preserve it by repairing books and converting the tangible periodicals to electronic copies.

He said he continued to work at the library because of its laid-back environment and because the people who work there are nice.

Shirley Shedd, archivist, was a student during the building of the library. She said she remembers when she found out a new library was going to be built.

“The library was a symbol of permanence,” Shedd said. “It meant that the college wasn’t go-ing to go away.”

Because she works in the ar-chives room in the library, Shedd said every day at work she be-comes closer to the school by be-ing emersed in Evangel’s history.

At the celebration on Friday, there will be refreshments and drawings for prizes.

ACBSP report to determine if department’s candidacy status stands

New scholarship honors Gaithers

Business Department seeks reaccreditationBY ELLIOTT SCOTT Assistant News Editor

To commemorate Bill and Gloria Gaither’s visit on Feb. 14, a donor has volunteered to fund a new $1,000 endowed scholarship in the Gaither’s name.

Michael Kolstad, Music Department chairperson, unveiled the scholarship to the Gaithers during the Valentine’s Day chapel service.

Kolstad said the scholarship will be presented to a student each semester, with one of the main eligibility requirements being an interest in songwriting.

“I love that,” Bill Gaither said. “Anytime you can honor us by helping somebody else, whether it’s a missionary well in Africa or whether it’s a scholarship for a kid in Norway, that’s a very special gift to us. I am very grateful for that.”

Kolstad said a donor approached Evangel a few weeks ago with the idea to honor the Gaithers’ visit to Evangel.

Later that day, the Gaithers lectured in Barnett Recital Hall, going into more depth about

their songwriting process and the different styles of worship music.

Bill Gaither said, “The Gospel is the same yesterday, today and forever, but the wrapper it comes in has constantly changed from the beginning of time.”

Bill Gaither said from the beginning of time, most fights in the church have probably been on the piano bench. The Gaithers said Christians should be careful not to worship a certain style or form instead of Christ, and that it is arrogant for people to think they can only connect with God through something written in the past year.

“Beware of cool,” Gloria Gaither said. “Cool is cool for two minutes. Trust me.”

Bill Gaither also described the Gaithers’ songwriting process in detail, using the example of a song titled “I Am Loved” and playing some of it on the piano.

Kolstad said the initial reason for the Gaithers’ visit was as part of a music class called Worship Heritage of the Pentecostal Church. Kolstad said he usually has speakers come and visit, and

he and the Music Department decided to go to the “top of the mountain” and invite the Gaithers to come and speak.

Kolstad said John Ashcroft, former U.S. Attorney General

who visited campus and lectured Feb. 12, is a friend of the Gaithers and organized the visit.

“For me, it was just a thrill professionally to be with living legends,” Kolstad said. He said he was surprised at the depth of the content the Gaithers’ shared. “They really have a powerful message to give to the kids,” he

said. Breanna Woodruff, freshman

music education major and student in the Worship Heritage class, said, “I really liked how they kept on talking about the power of music and how it was a language for musicians to communicate with.”

Woodruff said, “It showed me that the lyrics are one of the most important things about our worship.” She also said she was “awestruck that somebody that famous came to my class.”

Bill Gaither said the he and his wife are still writing music, just not as often. However, he said he had just finished writing a new song a few weeks ago about being in “good hands.”

“I don’t write as much,” he said, “but we write about stuff that we feel very strong about. And at this age, I’m confident in the fact that I’m in good hands.”

An accreditation team assigned by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs will visit the campus Monday through Wednesday for a reaccredidation assessment. The visit will serve as the completion of a self-study report submitted to the ACBSP on Jan. 22.

“We completed a preliminary review of our programs last April with our assigned mentor,” Bernie Dana, Business Department

chairperson, said. Dana said the report will

determine how the department addresses ACBSP’s six key standards: leadership, strategic planning, student and stakeholder focus, measurement and analysis of student learning and performance, faculty and staff focus and educational and business process management.

The team of four, led by Robert Roller, Business Department chairperson at Mount Vernon Nazarene University in Ohio, will determine whether Evangel’s

Business Department will be approved. The department currently sits at candidacy status, Dana said.

Elizabeth Fletcher, associate professor of business, said the site visit is a critical step in the application process.

Dana said the team will examine Evangel’s traditional undergraduate programs, adult studies program and Master of Organizational Leadership program.

Fletcher said this is the first time an accreditation process has

been handled. The department will participate in a thorough examination during the team’s visit.

Dana said the team will meet with business faculty, Business Student Advisory Council members, alumni and members of administration to assess the systems the department uses and the support the department has for its programs.

Dana said depending on the team’s findings the department could face a deferment until it is able to meet ACBSP standards.

Senate passes three bills, proposes four moreBY MICHAELA SMITH

News Editor

Senators passed three bills and presented four bills at the meeting Monday night. Brian Gresham, policy review committee chairperson and senior, presented three of the four bills and was responsible for two of the three bills that passed.

The first bill to pass pertained to the Freshman/Sophomore Banquet. Izu Aginwa, freshman class president, and Morgan Tilley, sophomore class president, asked for $500 from senate’s general ledger fund to go toward the performances and giveaways at the banquet.

Dodi Lason, senior class president and proponent of the bill, said as a class president she knows the struggles of planning such a big event for the student body. “If I could give these two classes $5,000 I would,” Lason said. All senators in attendance voted in favor of this bill.

Gresham presented two of the bills at the last meeting that were voted on at Monday’s meeting. Both bills are amendments to the bylaws of the ESGA constitution.

Josh Whitaker, Lewis Hall senator and junior, proposed a bill to renovate Lewis Hall’s second-floor lobby.

In his proposal, Whittaker requested for the chairs and couches to be reupholstered and for new mirrors, lamps, frames and area rugs. Whitaker said many students on campus use the lobby, including residents from other halls. He also said the lobby can be used more freely than other residence hall lobbies

because students who do not live in Lewis are not required to sign in to use its lobby.

Whitaker said Lewis Hall residence directors have checked prices for the materials with the company the hall will purchase the furniture from.

Gresham proposed the final three bills of the evening. He said he and his policy review

committee have been looking over the ESGA constitution and want to amend it to make it as professional of a document as it can be.

First, Gresham presented an amendment to remove the subsection in the ESGA constitution stating that Activities Board should have a faculty adviser.

Currently, Gresham said there is no faculty adviser for AB, but a member of the Student Development office does act as a non-voting member. Gresham said the subsection pertaining to the faculty adviser should be omitted in the ESGA constitution.

Gresham presented a second bill to omit the subsection of the ESGA constitution that states class secretaries should help compile class phone logs. He said this subsection needs to be deleted because all phone logs are now compiled digitally

by students at registration.Gresham’s final proposed

bill means to correct a typing mistake in the ESGA constitution.

Currently, the subsection reads, “Class public relations director of class chapel.” But he said he would like it to read, “or class chapel.” Senate will vote on all the presented bills at its next meeting, which is on March 14.

‘No Adults Allowed’ at Spring- Fling

BY ELLIOTT SCOTTAssistant News Editor

Activities Board announced the theme for SpringFling during Tuesday’s chapel. The theme, “No Adults Allowed,” brings out the kid in everyone.

Junior Ruckdeschell, AB director and junior, said, “We’re hoping the students can get that nostalgic feeling when reminiscing [about] our childhood.” He said this theme has been on a list of themes to choose from for the past few years and was bound to be the one that AB settled on for this semester’s SpringFling.

After its release, students began forming their own opinions on AB’s theme choice.

Daniel Tipton, sophomore, said he thinks AB could have found a better way to express a kids theme. He said he is glad that SpringFling will be a chance for many at Evangel to embrace their childhood but is not a fan of the way that the theme was phrased.

Although some have expressed their opposition to the theme, others have expressed their approval.

Rebecca Maycock, sophomore, said she thinks the theme is unique. “It’s like an escape from the adult-serious world,” Maycock said.

Unlike HarvestFest, girls are expected to ask guys to SpringFling. Maycock said, “Girls are super creative, so some of the ideas are sure to be amazing.” She also said girls are secretive, so the guys should not plan on getting any information from them early.

SpringFling will be held Mar. 23 at Remington’s Entertainment Complex, located at 1655 W. Republic Rd. in Springfield. Doors will open at 6 p.m., and SpringFling will officially start at 7 p.m. Tickets can be purchased for $5 in advance or for $8 at the door.

Gloria and BIll Gaither answered questions Feb. 14 from Michael Kolstad about the church and students’ generation.

Are you interested in applying for the scholarship?@evangellance

It seems that as of late, Black History Month highlights differences more than it

promotes equality among all people.

To be clear, we value the history and accomplishments of black Americans at the highest regard, as we do all Americans. We simply feel that by emphasizing differences, we are adding to the problem.

In a 2005 interview with “60 Minutes,” Morgan Freeman said that the idea of Black History Month is “ridiculous.”

“You’re going to relegate my history to a month?” Freeman said. “I don’t want a Black History Month. Black history is American history.”

We agree.Black history is intertwined in

the fabric of America and should be delivered in that context.

Black History Month began in 1926 as Negro History Week. It was started by Carter G.

Woodson, the son of former slaves and Harvard graduate. In 1976, the week grew to Black History Month as we know it today.

There is nothing wrong with celebrating Black History Month. But is it helping us reach the goal that all men are viewed as equal?

Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live

in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

Let’s not praise people for their accomplishments because they are black. Let’s praise people for what they did and who they are.

The accomplishments of all Americans should be commended on a regular basis, not confined to a month.

Freeman was asked how to get rid of racism in his interview with “60 Minutes.” He said, “Stop talking about it.”

We hope and believe that one day we will live in the world that King foresaw.

Boston’s Brewin’Brett Boston

Brett Boston is a senior studying advertising.

Phillip Phillips’ mom has been in the news recently because of her drunken

driving, but when I think of Phillip Phillips’ mom, I don’t think of a drunken driver; I think of someone who has an awful son.

Phillips, for those of you who don’t know, is a popular singer who has played numerous concerts for various charities, but when his parents’ pawnshop went out of business last year, he refused to give them a dime to help them through their difficult times.

Of course, they probably had it coming after the grade school torture they subjected him to by giving him such a repetitive name.

But this proves an important truth: Helping people you don’t know has become more appreciated than lending a hand to people you do know.

For instance, building a school for kids in Cambodia is

more endearing than helping your dad build a ramp for your grandparent’s front porch – for their wheelchairs, not their bike stunts. That’s what the ramp in

their backyard is for.And it’s not just celebrities who

are guilty of doing this. Everybody knows someone who wants to change the world and make it a better place.

But here’s another the big truth: People who only think globally tend to neglect locally.

Take, for instance, musicians like Chris Brown and Isaac Brock. Brock, who’s the lead singer for the band Modest Mouse, released a solo album in 2011 and donated all the proceeds to a charity that benefits homeless youths. That’s a terrific gesture on the global scale, but after being accused of raping not one, but two women, his work on the local scale could use a little effort.

And Chris Brown has actually donated quite a bit of money to four different charities, so on the global level, he’s doing some great work.

Of course, his efforts on the local level haven’t quite matched up, partially due to his well-documented brawls with Drake and Frank Ocean, but mostly because he made Rihanna – one of the most beautiful women

in the world – look like she just got out of the ring with Manny Pacquiao.

Then there’s Angelina Jolie and Sean Penn. Both celebrities have traveled the world to help with various causes, but on the local level, Penn has a long history of assault and battery – as well as two divorces – and Jolie has a history of being a home wrecker. But they’ve helped a lot of people in third world countries – and New Orleans – so they’ve earned their free pass from being good to the people around them.

It’s not clear why doing good globally has trumped doing good locally, but I believe there is just one thing you should consider when you’re trying to figure out whom you should be helping: Ask if the person would help you shave your back.

If someone is close enough with you to shave your back, you better make sure you have his.

What are your thoughts on Black History Month? @evangellance

Stop talking about racism to get rid of it

Black History is

intertwined in the fabric of America.

Through the years hairstyles have been a part of the style that defines a time period. From the Victorian era to today, people express themselves through the hairstyle they choose. This holds true at Evangel as well.

“Hairstyles tend to define peo-ple and what they’re about. The favorite thing about my hair is

that it’s a way to express myself, kind of like art,” Tyler Barnes, freshman, said.

Barnes said he has a hairstyle somewhat similar to the “Bach-elorette” winner, Jef Holm. “I like being different and having a nice, classy hair style,” he said. “It’s easy for me and fits who I am. I get a lot of compliments on it.”

Nancy Pace-Miller, assistant professor of communication and yearbook adviser, said, “I person-ally think hairstyles have become more individualized. Someone can do a spiky style and get by with it, but then, for some of us, if we were to do so, it would be like someone cut your hair off wrong.”

Pace-Miller said back in the late ‘90s and early 2000s, when Jennifer Aniston was popular and “Friends” was on air, she had a bob haircut that many women loved.

Genna Adkins, junior, said, “My hair is so different from anyone’s, really. Having this type of hair for my race is really un-heard of. It only takes me five to 10 minutes to style, and it’s all natural.” Adkins currently wears her hair in a fro. She said she used to wear her hair in a ponytail be-cause she and her mom did not know what else to do with it. “My friends and I just messed with it one day, and there was the fro, and it just stuck with me,” Adkins said.

Sam Buesking, senior, had a hairstyle known as the euro-mullet, until re-cently when he returned

to his former short hairstyle. He enjoyed the new style for the

fun of trying something new and he liked seeing people’s reactions. After he cut his hair he started to see a lot of other people trying the euro-mullet as well. Buesk-ing said, “People who have radical haircuts usually have something they are trying to communicate.” He said that he really did not have something he was trying to com-municate with his hair, he just did it for fun.

Pace-Miller said the yearbook photos often reflect the hairstyle trends each year. “In the year-books, it’s whatever is culturally accurate at the time, and it shows up in the photos.”

Few shows can blend humor, social issues and copious amounts of gore into a successful story. However, “The Walking Dead” blends all of these with relatively consistent results.

This season of “The Walking Dead” has carried the series to new heights in depth and char-acter development, et it still has faults, not the least of which is the constant killing off of any minor character who receives any devel-opment. Once you begin to like a new character – he or she is dead, and it is back to the same people we have known since season one.

The way the main character, Rick, slides into insanity has been moving and intriguing; however, the recent appearances of ghost Lori in a white dress seem a little forced.

The most recent episode found Rick tripping through the woods and seeing dead people, which played into to one of the most in-tense and chilling gun battles in the series thus far.

The Governor has added a great villain to the series. One of the best elements of his character is his similarity to the character of Kurtz in Joseph Conrad’s novel

“Heart of Darkness.” From the heads he keeps in his room to his ruthless lust for power and au-thority, he is a classic example of a formerly good man gone insane amid a world without rules.

This season seems to be headed in a direction that will change the series for the better. As time has gone on, the series has grown the main characters from just a group of survivors into a family whom we can know and care about.

Carl has gone from being a nui-sance to a valid member of the team. Rick has begun to lose his marbles. Lori is dead, which some say is for the better. Daryl has be-come a fan favorite with his rough yet lovable personality, and in the last season and a half, his charac-ter has gone through a huge trans-formation.

Throughout the first half of the season, the growing tension between Rick’s group and The Governor at Woodbury has kept the plot growing and the viewers guessing at what is going to come next.

Now that the tension has ex-ploded into open conflict, it is only a matter of time until a final showdown between Rick and The Governor, a battle I will not want to miss.

Supplies:It’s the little things that make all the difference

Beyond the big things like food, shelter and weapons, it is important to remember to have things that can help make life

easier as well as improve the morale of the group. Having little things to remember a time before mindless hordes of

undead wandered the Earth can improve the morale of a group and help its members keep going. Family pictures

and other relics from a time gone by can be a huge help. However, be careful about wearing necklaces, as they can be grabbed by the undead and humans alike. There is also the risk of shiny objects reflect-ing light and giving away one’s position. Having a

good backpack and shoes will go a long way to-ward keeping alive in the long term. Camping

gear, like a tent and fire-starting materials, will be a huge help when trying to create

a shelter for the night. An axe or a saw is more than a weapon, it is a tool that will be needed to provide fuel for fires

that can cook meals and to provide warmth on cold nights.

Food:The zombies aren’t the only

hungry onesPeople cannot live without food, especially when they are on the move

fighting zombies. All the weapons and fortifications in the world are worth nothing if everyone starves to death. Stancer said the place she would choose

to bunker down would be Sam’s Club. With huge stockpiles of food and space big enough to accommodate even the largest of groups, this would be an ideal

place when looking for a location to fortify. Stancer said when getting food, she would choose things like canned goods and ramen in order to ensure

long-term food safety. She also said in the event of a zombie apocalypse, it would be very useful to know basic farming skills. Nelson said he would want

to stock up on Nutella to survive the apocalypse. Keeping calories high is important when needing to work at survival every day.

Weapons:Putting the undead back in their place

One of the key elements of any zombie apocalypse, whether in films like “Zombieland” or television shows such as “The Walking Dead,” is fight-ing back against the tide of the undead. While it may seem glorious to enact revenge against the hordes of undead, it may not be the safest option. In most cases, defense is the best survival method. Wasting ammunition and energy on needless killing of zombies will only serve to wear out a group and open up opportunity for injury, or worse: being turned into one of the undead.

Nelson said he would stock up on weapons and ammunition first. “Once you have those things, you can use them to gather other resources that you need,” he said. When looking for weapons, consider what will be easy to maintain and replenish with ammunition or parts. Melee weapons, such as clubs or machetes, are useful and much quieter; however, all that swinging can wear out even the toughest survivor. A group must find a balance of how much ammunition it can carry versus how fast it wants to travel and the vari-ous skills it possesses.

Shelter: Keeping the rain and zombies out

Shelter is a basic necessity that cannot be overlooked, especially when surviving a plague of reanimated corpses. In order to survive, warmth and protection from the elements are wholly necessary. Hypothermia and exposure can debilitate a person in just hours. Find a solid structure to fortify against the hordes.

Kailea Stancer, junior, said in the event of a zombie apoca-lypse, she would first gather her close friends and bunker down on campus to avoid the chaos that will ensue in the first few days of a zombie takeover. She said after that, she would go to the home of one of her relatives who lives outside of the city, taking a few close friends.

Kyle Nelson, junior, said he would get the people closest to him and “head for the hills.” Nelson recommended a rural area for shelter due to the low population.

A recent survey by the Univer-sity of California, Los Angeles stated that 41 percent of college students consider their college visit an important contributing factor in choosing their school.

Evangel employs student hosts to give prospective students tours and to host them during their stay at Evangel.

Megan Lindsey, student host and senior, is also a work study for Lacey Musset-ter, campus vis-it coordinator. “I work along-side two other work studies, and together we create sched-ules for visi-tors, type out itineraries, cre-ate folders and name tags for the visitors and anything extra that needs to go in there,” Lindsey said.

Lindsey also said campus visit coordinators work hard to make each visit personalized and suc-cessful. “Whether they request a specific class or want to do some-thing different, we try to make that happen, but it’s definitely worth it because the visitors that come enjoy their visits,” Lindsey said.

“The process in general can be rather tedious,” Lindsey said. “There are standard visit days and special visits, and so sometimes we’ll have three or more visits to coordinate in a month. I like meeting people from across the States and across the world and hearing about why they want to come to Evangel. “

Lauren Simms, senior, has been a student host for over two years. “We give campus tours and take prospective students to lunch and chapel,” she said.

Simms said hosts usually take visiting students to chapel first, trying to get to know the visi-tors throughout the day as they give them tours. Visitors are usu-

ally matched with hosts who have similar majors and interests, but visitors are assigned different hosts for some tours and meals so they have the opportunity to con-nect with a variety of hosts.

Simms said students come from all around the world to visit Evangel’s campus. “I was on a tour with four kids, and one was from New Jersey, one from Iowa, one from California and one from Germany,” Simms said.

Simms said being a student host has impacted her and made her

Evangel experi-ence more posi-tive. “You get to meet everybody, and it’s such a social thing,” she said. “One girl that I hosted came to Evangel last fall, and she remembered my name. She saw me down the hall and gave me

a hug. Being a host is a rewarding position, and it’s such an honor.”

Hannah Arnzen, junior and student host, said, “I really enjoy giving tours because I get to in-dividualize it and share fun facts about the school a lot of people don’t know about.” Arnzen said she feels strongly about being a student host because she had a bad experience at another school. “I didn’t want anyone to have that kind of experience here because Evangel is such a good school, and I want everyone to see and experience that.”Arnzen, a Spring-field native, said she likes to take visiting students around town. She said, “I like to show them where they’re going to be living. The school matters, but the city you’re going to be living in is a big contributing factor.”

Adam Wood, student host and sophomore, said, “I’m so excited to be a part of this program be-cause it is a good opportunity to show people what a great place Evangel is.” He said he remembers his visit and is glad to be a part of showing kids “the wonders that Evangel has to offer them.”

Emileigh Morton, junior, re-cently opened an online store, called Flashback Summer, that sells vintage fashion items.

She said she has started this endeavor because of her love of unique style and do-it-yourself fashion.

Morton said she started a blog, which has the same title as her store, in October as a way to build an audience. She then opened the online store in December.

Morton sells various types of vintage accessories and clothing, including dresses, bandanas and gloves.

Sharon Clause, fellow blogger and junior, said Morton has an open mind and creative style and that the items in her store are a re-flection of her personality.

Morton said she is a connois-seur of all things vintage, and even though her personal style is “head-to-toe vintage,” she said believes there is something for ev-erybody in her store.

While Morton said she does not always make the items in the store from scratch, she said she refurbishes all the products she does not make by hand.

Clause said Morton goes out of

her way to find unique and eclec-tic items to refurbish. “[She] takes the old and makes it new,” Clause said.

Morton’s store is hosted by Etsy, which is a website that allows people to open an online shop.

Since Flashback Summer is a relatively new endeavor, Morton said things are going a bit slow, but that does not mean she has not seen any rewards for her hard work. Morton said she has made several sales, mostly to people in other countries.

Right now Morton said she is focused mostly on promoting her blog and her store. She said she tries to interact as much as she can with other lifestyle blogs and makes guest posts on various fashion blogs.

Gangham style is out. The “Harlem Shake” has over-

run YouTube with floods of danc-ing and ridiculousness. Students on campus are jumping on this opportunity to put out videos for fun..

According to a KSLA News Channel 12 broadcast, “Harlem Shake” videos are usually about 30 seconds long and feature the song “Harlem Shake” by Baauer. The broadcast said the videos usually have at least five people in

them, with one person comically dancing.

When the music drops, the scene completely changes and fills with many people dancing around and doing random things.

Several floors on campus have already done their own renditions of the “Harlem Shake.” One of these floors is Scott First North.

Adam Wood, sophomore, said, “I knew it was going to go ex-tremely viral, so I wanted to get a video out there as soon as pos-sible.”

Wood was the main organizer of S1N’s rendition of the “Harlem

Shake.” He said when he saw the “Harlem Shake” for the first time, he called several other people into his room and had them watch it. After that, they decided to do one of their own and post it on You-Tube.

Wood and Sam Wyrick, sopho-more, said other floors on Evan-gel’s campus have also done “Harlem Shake” videos, including Lewis Fourth Northeast, Krause First North, and Krause Third South. Wyrick said, “It was start-ed by some guys called The Sunny Coast Skate, five YouTubers from Australia.” Since then, there have

been many different variations posted online. According to the number of views on YouTube, some of these videos are ap-proaching, and even going over, 20 million views.

Wyrick said, “I believe what in-spired me was just the pure beau-ty of the ‘Harlem Shake.’ It seems to transcend the laws of nature.”

Alex Wade, junior, said, “We saw a bunch of the videos, and they looked super fun, and we all like being goofy. It just seemed like an awesome thing to do.” She said they thought it would be cool to be the first on campus to do it.

According to Topsy, a site that tracks internet searches, the term “Harlem Shake” was mentioned over half a million times Sunday on sites like Twitter and Face-book.

An article from Mashable, a website that specializes in the newest technological trends, stat-ed the reason for the success of the videos is twofold. First, there is the anticipation of the drop and what people are going to be do-ing when the bass drops. Second, the videos are only 30 seconds in length, which makes them acces-sible and easy to watch.

Women’s basketball falls short

Men’s basketball wins by 1

� e indoor track team set eight school records at the Heart of America Athletic Conference championship meet last weekend, with two athletes qualifying for the NAIA championship.

Grace Cot-ten, sopho-more, quali� ed for the 60-me-ter hurdles, and Grant Hafner, junior, quali� ed for the 300-me-ter race walk.

“We have been consistent in sending two or three [ath-letes] to nationals,” Lynn Bowen, head coach, said.

� e team expected to break school records, such as the men’s 4 x 800 meter relay and the wom-en’s 1000-meter run, Tim Norris, sophomore sprinter, said.

“We’re going to use our perfor-

mance at this meet to gauge how well we will do and what we will focus on during outdoor track season,” Norris said.

� e breaking of eight school records – the oldest of which had been set in 1996 – was a demon-stration of the team’s progress this season, Hafner said.

“You can see the improve-ment in every-one,” he said. “We didn’t look so much at the big [re-cords]. Rather, we looked at [setting] indi-vidual records and the school records.”

He said this is mainly because schools such as Baker University o� en dominate the track and � eld meets. Hafner said he is proud of the team for its success at the con-ference meet.

“� ere is nothing better than team success. � ere is no one to

celebrate the victory with if it is all individual,” Hafner said. “Team is always number one.”

Last year Hafner quali� ed for nationals by fractions of a second.

“It had been a roller coaster for me last year, not knowing if

I would qualify or not,” Hafner said. “� is year, I knew I was ex-pected to qualify.”

� is is the second consecu-tive year that Hafner has been to the NAIA championship meet, Bowen said. Hafner is currently ranked � � h in the nation for race walking.

“We have a lot of youth, a lot of freshman and sophomore run-ners. � ey’re getting stronger and faster every day,” Bowen said.

Such runners set school records at the meet, such as David Don-aldson and Aaron Peace, both freshmen, who ran in the 4 x 800 meter relay.

Hafner said, “If these freshman stay with the [track] program, they will become really good.”

� e so� ball team opened its season with a win against Bacone College in Muskogee, Okla., on Tuesday. � e Crusaders were sup-posed to start their season against Christian Brothers University on Feb. 7, but the match was canceled due to rain.

In the sweep against Bacone, Kari Tall-Domingos, senior out-� elder, drove in two runs for her team, going 1-4 with a double.

� at same game, Lenzie Boring, senior pitcher, � red a two-hit shutout, allowing only one walk and contributing 10 strikeouts. Marriana Nelson, senior in� elder, went 3-3 with a double.

“� ere is not one person on the roster that I do not have the ut-most con� dence in to get the job done,” Tall-Domingos said. “We have many new faces this year, but I do not think that will hold us back.”

� is season’s team consists of seven freshmen, four sopho-

mores, four juniors and four se-niors.

Shelby Ho� man, junior in� eld-er, said the team worked hard in the o� season to prepare the play-ers for a competitive season.

� e so� ball team will travel to Batesville, Ark., to compete in a tournament at Lyon College today and will play there tomorrow. � e Crusaders will play Lyon College again on Wednesday at home.

� e women’s basketball team rallied but fell short in a 53-60 loss to Baker on Monday in the Ashcro� Center.

Briana Walsh, senior guard, said the Crusaders were without Amanda Landolt, sophomore guard, and Tiaunshe Brown, ju-nior guard, due to injuries.

� e Crusaders managed to cut a 13-point de� cit down to two with two minutes remaining.

However, Baker hit free throws down the stretch to put the game

out of reach.Sierra McSpadden, senior for-

ward, said, “We fought hard. Our defense just got the better of us. If we had played more solid defense, we would have won.”

Emily Akins, sophomore guard, said, “It was a disappointing loss, but I am so proud of how my team played. With two girls out, every-one had to step up.”

“We played with passion and showed what type of team we are,” Akin said. “We have to take that kind of attitude and bring it with us to the last couple games and into the conference tournament.”

Akins had a game-high 24 points and contributed seven re-bounds. Jessica Rumfelt, senior forward and center, added eight points.

� e Wildcats won for the ninth time in 11 games and improved to 19-9, 12-4 in the Heart of Ameri-ca Athletic Conference.

� e Crusaders dropped to 7-15, 6-10 in the league.

� e Crusaders’ next game is tomorrow against Peru State in Peru, Neb.

� e Crusaders beat Culver-Stockton College 79-78 in over-time Saturday to clinch at least an invitational spot in the NAIA-I national tournament in March.

� e battle for the regular season Heart of America Athletic Cham-pionship between No. 10 Evangel and No. 20 MidAmerica Naza-rene University was postponed from last night and rescheduled for Monday due to weather, ac-cording to a press release.

On Saturday, Stephen Cotton, senior forward, � nished a three-point play with 20 seconds le� in regulation to force overtime against Culver-Stockton.

J.J. Williams, junior guard, drove into the lane a� er two missed free throws from Culver-Stockton and made a layup to give Evangel a 79-78 lead with 11 sec-onds le� in overtime.

“It was an important game for us, and Culver-Stockton is a very talented team. First place in the conference was on the line,” Steve Jenkins, head coach, said. “We knew going in that they were go-ing to shoot a lot of threes because Culver leads the nation in three-point attempts per game.”

Jenkins said one of the Crusad-ers’ goals is to make more free throws than their opponents at-tempt. � e team did that against Culver-Stockton, making 19 of 27 free throws while Culver-Stock-ton made 12 of 17.

� e Crusaders face Peru State tomorrow before returning home

for the team’s � nal game of the regular season on Monday.

“I believe we are on the verge of really clicking,” Jayme Donnelly, senior guard, said. “I do not think we have peaked yet this season.”

� e Crusaders traveled to Oklahoma City, Okla., to play a doubleheader against Mid-America Christian University on Saturday. � e scheduled double-header was later changed to a single, nine-inning game due to severe winter weather, according to a press release. � e Crusaders advanced to a 9-1 record a� er winning the game 13-7, and Mid-America Christian added another loss to its 0-7 record.

“We have solid defense, o� ense and base running to put teams away when needed,” Seth Bailey, senior catcher, said. “A 9-1 start shows how bad the team wants to win conference this year.”

� e team made it to the top of the Heart of America Athletic Conference last season, but with a

much slower start. “Last year we started o� a little

rough, losing several games to teams that we should have beat-en,” Bailey said. “� is year we are beating the teams who we should beat e� ortlessly.”

Brandon Cobb, sophomore out� elder, said the Crusaders continue to work hard in practice to improve for upcoming games.

“Our practices get us prepared to run our defensive plays that we work on and to have a good approach while we are batting,” Cobb said.

� e baseball team’s Friday game against Oklahoma Baptist Uni-versity was cancelled and, at press time, the team still plans to travel to Okla. to play St. Gregory’s Uni-versity in Shawnee, Okla.
