With a classic, a musical, a student-written play and a romantic comedy in the mix, the Lee University theatre department is planning something for everyone in this years theatre
season. They are eager to begin the upcoming 20122013 theatre season, which will feature four different plays and performances throughout the year. These four productions
were chosen to show the many different aspects of theatre by increasing the assortment of genres for the audience. The first play in this years lineup, Jekyll & Hyde, will be featured from October 1115 in the Edna Minor Conn Theatre. Jekyll & Hyde is a modern adaptation of Robert
Louis Stevensons classic novel of the same name. The play, directed by senior theatre student Lindsay Hanson, focuses on the psychological complexity and duality of human nature and follows Dr. Henry Jekyll as he struggles with attempts to cure the bestial qualities
in human beings while combatting dark ambitions. This is the first time in five years that a play has been student directed. Hanson was chosen to direct because the theatere department believes she has the ability and dedication to undertake the task.
When the department trusts a students ability, Hanson said, they want to give them the opportunity. Hanson said she chose Jekyll and Hyde in order to expose the audience to more contemporary theater. She also said that she read

Languages and Literature. Our faculty are primarily hired to be good teachers and to serve students well, so were not a big research university. We really emphasize good teaching, Eledge said. The Center for Teaching Excellence aims to improve the teaching abilities and practices of professors. The center provides not only resources for professors but also a place for them to come together and discuss ideas and best practices. It really is a dream come true for us, Eledge said. All in all, the Title III Strengthening Institutions grant changed the educational landscape at Lee University, from technology to classroom practices. Lee is able to apply for the grant again after two years.
By Caleb Bell News Editor After five years of helping shape the educational environment at Lee, the Title III Strengthening Institutions grant is coming to a close on Sept. 30. The grant, supplied by federal government, was designated to help Lee create an improved, sustainable academic setting for its students. The highly competitive
grant provided $2 million for these improvements, which Lee then matched. Jayson VanHook, vice president for Information Services, explained that through the funding, Lee updated campus technology, switched to the Colleague computer system, created the Center for Teaching Excellence and developed the five critical thinking skills. It accomplished what the government intends for
the money to accomplish, and that is to strengthen the institution, VanHook said. Lee had to meet certain requirements in order to become eligible for the grant. According to the U.S. Department of Education website, Title III is designated for accredited institutions of hig her e ducat ion. Specifically for the Strengthening Institutions grant, Lee had to have at least half of its students receiving

Add salt and pepper to your taste preference. It only takes five minutes to make home-cooked Italian that rivals an overpriced restaurant and is served by someone without the unisex waitstaff ties.

Subway sandwiches and burgers before youre done with it, Gouveia said. The first thing you say when you go home is Mom, could you cook me some home cooked food? It would be perfect for college students, you can come over here and get a good home cooked meal at a reasonable price, and Ill take care of your drink. Gouveia said he would also like to see students study at the coffee bar, which displays what he described as a bright and cheery [setting] with a comfortable atmosphere. Along with the coffee bar and booths, there is also covered outdoor seating. Gouveia said that their best selling menu item is the thanksgiving sandwich, which includes fresh turkey, stuffing, swiss cheese and cranberry sauce. The restaurant also serves soups, salads, meatloaf and various kinds of sandwiches. We also offer a healthy menu but we still have that southern flair which is all about Cleveland, Gouveia said. Theres nothing on the menu over seven dollars. The restaurant has been open for a month, and Gouveia said that over the past two weeks he has seen more and more college students stop in. The other demographic that the grille caters to is the business people of downtown Cleveland who need an inexpensive meal on their lunch breaks. Gouveia designed the interior of the restaurant himself. He has two flatscreened TVs that he keeps on sports and the news. Cobblestone Grille is not

By Meghan Savell Staff Writer The fall semester is in full swing, and returning students have noticed that a familiar aspect of campus has gone missing; the Lee University trolley hasnt been making its usual rounds. Many have wondered if there will be a replacement or if it will it be back and running again soon. Ashley
Mew, director of Campus Safety, said that the trolley will be absent for a while longer. Unfortunately, the trolley is out of service, due to mechanical issues. At some point, we expect the trolley to return to our campus, but we do not have an estimated time, Mew said. In the interim, a Lee University shuttle bus is being used along the trolley route, so there is not an
interruption in our service to the campus community. It used to operate Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., making a complete loop around the campus every 15 to 20 minutes. According to the Campus Safety office, the trolley is in need of repairs, and Bo Franks, the former driver, no longer works at Lee. Franks is now working at a trucking company.
One student in particular is missing the absence of the trolley and the man that drove it. Sophomore Caroline Kindiger rode the trolley frequently during her freshman year and not just to get from one class to the next. I use to ride the trolley just talk to Bo. He just had a lot of neat stories to tell. He enjoyed music and would tease me because I didnt
know any popular artists, Kindiger said. The stories he would tell were really great because hes had so many life experiences. I really miss him more than I miss the trolley, but the trolley did look better on campus than the buses. Students on campus would utilize the trolley on rainy days and during cold winter y months. The trolley was a well-known
icon for many Lee students along with the friendly driver. [The shuttle] is still helpful for students but lacks the character of the trolley, Kindiger said. Students can hope that it can be repaired soon and back on its way to providing safe alternate ways of getting to class. In the meantime, the shuttle bus is available to provide the same service.

hamburger momma. Charlies gonna be a napalm star. Next time there is a dark and stormy night, you should really visit the music asylum.
over the past few weeks. I think, however, that I might be finding a balance. Its more of a cut your losses strategy, actually. I cant change the fact that I missed my CISS deadline. Why did I wait until senior year and the class was online only? I ask myself that question every day. I can, on the other hand, religiously check the assignment page and complete assignments ahead of time when I have a spare moment. I cannot guarantee that my homework will be completed to perfection. I can carve out time to shut my office door and buckle down on my assignments so they will at least be complete. I also realize that this might be what is colloquially referred to as senioritis. But I dont want to be diseased. I want to be passionate about my school work and the product we produce as a team. The time Ive invested in both classes and the Lee Clarion have been extraordinarily rewarding, so why would I throw that away for a few spare minutes on Facebook? Moral of the story? Im doing my best here. Im sacrificing my time and my grandma habits to complete this fourth year of schooling, but it seems Ive lost motivation, and we havent even hit midterms. Any idea for a senioritis antibiotic? Looks like I might need it.

is something that Chi members are excited to be a part of. Chi Member Caleb Bagwell is anxious to see how it all turns out. [The event] gives us a lot of time together as a club to prepare for it, Bagwell said. The people participating in the game have already begun conditioning for the grueling task. For the entire 50 hour game, the players will only receive five minutes of rest for every hour played. The same players must participate in the entire game and will not be allowed to provide themselves with any kind of energy supplement during the 50 hours. Fred Garmand, president of PCL, has already announced that he plans to send professional athletes to the game to take part in autograph sessions. He also looks to advertise the game on television as well as the radio leading up to the event. The event will start on Lee Day, and by beginning it then, Chi will look to draw prospective students, members of the community and other Greek clubs on campus. More details about the event will be released over the next several months.
