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

Lee to offer Masters of Business Administration program


By Mary Beth Gremillion Contributing Writer Starting a year from now, Lee University will be offering a Masters degree in Business Administration, giving graduate students a unique learning opportunity. The MBA program will be a two-year program in which students will take two courses per semester where they will alternate between in-class and online courses. Dr. Shane Griffith, the director of the new MBA program, explained the formatting of program. Each week, one class will be held in a Lee classroom and the other class will be online. Come a new week, the classes will switch, with the first class going online and the second class moving to a classroom. Lees hybrid design is unique to any other degree and that is a key selling point in the program, Griffith said. We are assuming that everyone who applies is working and that the one alternating inclass session and at your own pace online class will benefit their schedules. There will also be internship and work-study components alongside the courses. Griffith said that one of the final summer classes before graduation will require students to work in a real organization. Lee focuses as much as possible on experiential learning, Griffith said. The program consists of 12 courses, over 36 credit hours total. The whole graduate program Lee estimates will take six semesters of study. Griffith said that he hopes that the degree will spark interest in people across the academic spectrum, not just business students. With that in mind, the future MBA degree will be designed for anyone who is interested, no matter his or her undergraduate degree. For those with no background in business, Lee will offer an 8-week-long preparation program that will bring learners up to speed for entry into the MBA program. For the program, Lee is not currently hiring any new professors. Current business professors with doctoral degrees here at Lee will be teaching the MBA, as they have experience in specific areas that will aid graduate students, Griffith said. Lee University has been working towards the MBA degree for the past five-and-a-half years. Two years ago, Lee conducted a survey asking undergraduates who would be interested in a MBA program. With large numbers of positive responses to the survey, Lee was encouraged to work at acquiring a possible new graduate program. For senior business major Joseph Hardaway, Lees MBA program holds potential for his future. I looked over some of the course descriptions, and Im more interested in actually coming back to Lee for the fall for grad school, Hardaway said. Jared Jaber, who received his business Bachelors degree this summer, likes the layout of Lees future program. The design of the program sounds very helpful, so when you are at work, you are enforcing what you already learned or finally understanding in a real work experience the information from class, Jaber said. Though he is already enrolled in another graduate program, Jaber said that if he chose to pursue an MBA, there is nowhere else [he] would attend but Lee. While this new option for Lees graduate programs will draw more students to Lee, Griffith said he hopes that with this new MBA degree Lee can cultivate students who can change the look of business in todays culture. Its hard nowadays to find a radio station or television show that shows business in a good light; we hope that with our method of teaching we can alter that perception, Griffith said.

Enrollment reporting changes, showing high numbers


reporting only those of oncampus students including the Charlotte Center campus. Now, the official count also includes students who challenge their intellectual horizons through web-based classes. Our official number this year will be 4954 [students], which is an enrollment record - highest number weve ever had, Jayson VanHook, vice president for Information Services, said. Had the numbers been calculated like those of the past, the university could still boast an increase of 50 students from last fall. Without the online attendance, enrollment would have totaled 4904. Though enrollment is continuously increasing with each passing year, its failed to keep up with the rate of increase of previous years. In the fall of 2008, enrollment (as calculated the old way) was 4147; in 2009, 4262; in 2010, 4377; and in 2011, enrollment reached 4411. Enrollment increased by 115 students each year 2008-2010. From 20102011, enrollment increased by 34, and from 2011-2012, enrollment increased by 11 in on campus students. Phil Cook, vice president for enrollment, is excited with how his team has met their enrollment goals. We are always working to bring one more than last year and that has been our stated goal for several years, Cook said. The numbers are not just for the benefit of the university, but Lee reports them to federal and state government, as well as other interested parties, such as U.S. News and World Report. VanHook said that with Lees growing online presence and the emphasis on online education, administration decided it was a good time to begin reporting the figures all together. Online programs have been praised for their convenience for the adult community. An online student does not have to commit to a full class load but instead can enroll in one or two classes at a time. The Division of Adult Learning, Lees newly combined program for n o nt r a d i t i o n a l adult students, is growing quickly. In 2010, the program had 281 enrolled. Its exponential growth enables the program to now report 661 students enrolled for this semester. For more information about enrollment or Division of Adult Learning, check out the QR code.

Title III grant ends, leaving improved Lee behind


need-based aid or a large number receiving Pell grants. Of the improvements, VanHook said that switching Lees system to Colleague was the largest investment. Colleague, now owned by provider Ellucian, is the system that runs the back end of Lees website. Prior to the grant, Lee ran off of a program called Champlain from Champlain College that would not run after Lee customized a large amount of the program. [Switching to Colleague has] been a big part of this, VanHook said. [O]ne of the goals in Title III was to move to a system that would better support what were doing here at the institution. But thats not the only technological update Lee underwent with Title III. The university also applied the grant to updating classro om technolog y. Up to that point, only a few of the classrooms at Lee had any form of computer technology. VanHook said professors were having to request classrooms with computers if they needed them when classrooms were b eing assigned. Now, thanks to the grant, IT Operations was able to install a technology package in most every classroom. The basic kit includes a desktop computer, DVD and VHS players and projectors, along with their screens and controls. But the technological updates around campus were only a portion of what the grant made possible. While improving the physical learning experience at Lee, Title III funds changed the very structure of courses at Lee. VanHook explained that Lee students expressed a need for a change in how they were learning. Students were saying that they were asked to memorize a lot, but they werent reporting that they were engaged in a lot of higher level critical thinking, VanHook said. In response, Lee faculty developed five critical thinking skills for students to engage in. These skills are emphasized and incorporated into the course assignments. While the critical thinking skills are a direct part of a students experience here at Lee, grant money provided for an indirect improvement on t he e nv i ron me nt for students as well. The Center for Teaching Excellence, the last of the major Title III changes, was birthed through a proposal from Jean Eledge, the chair of the Department of

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

through many plays before landing on the adapted classic, but in the end it was a good fit because it provokes interesting questions while still being suitable to perform on the Lee stage. [The adaption] turns the story on its head ... Its everything I think theatere should be, Hanson said. Dual-casting will play a key role in the production as the role of Hyde will be taken on by multiple actors throughout the play, indicated by who is holding a silver-topped cane. Hanson also liked the play because it showcases a beautifully written story line and strong characters. As far as student directing goes, Hanson said she has been treated like a normal faculty director, with very little coddling from the department. The familiarity of Jekyll and Hyde is what Hanson said will draw the audience to see the show; however, the modern adaptation will expose the audience members to something they have not seen before. The show is open-up-one ended, Hanson said, and relays intriguing themes. [It] symbolizes that weve all got that sort of evil side of us within us, said Assistant Professor of Theatre Dan Buck. As a Christian, that duality between [the evil] I am capable of and what God allows under grace is very interesting to me. The next performance, a collaboration between the theatre and music departments, will be performed during Lees homecoming weekend. Big River, a musical adaptation of Mark Twains Huck Finn, is a continuation of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer in which Huck befriends a runaway slave. Chase Hall plays the lead Huckleberry Finn and said he is honored to be a part of the musical. Weve got a fantastic show coming up. One thats sure to be filled with a lot of laughs and toe-tapping moments and great twangy music, Hall said. Im certainly honored to be in a cast thats as stellar as the one we have. Hall also said that the poignant story, which explores themes of racism, grace and redemption, will give people something to talk about. The beginning of the spring semester will bring Lessons, an experimental drama created from scratch by several Lee students and Buck. It follows four unique music students who struggle not only with their instruments but also with finding joy in lifes obstacles. The romantic comedy Sabrina Fair will bring the season to a close in April. The play, which inspired the Audrey Hepburn movie Sabrina, is set in the 1950s and follows Sabrina Fairchild, returning to Long Island from her position in Paris as an executive in a U.S. government overseas office, as she is suddenly faced with the dilemma of two suitors vying for her affection. Assistant Professor of Theatere, Dr. Christine Williams, will direct this romantic comedy. The season will kick off on October 11, giving students another outlet for on-campus entertainment.

Experiencing Lee through the eyes of an international student


By Meghan Savell Staff Writer When most students come to Lee, it is their first time in Cleveland or maybe in the state of Tennessee. For senior Temitope Adebayo, it was his first time in the United States. Adebayo is originally from Nigeria, where he graduated from high school in 2008. He said that he tried to get into a college after graduation, but despite his good grades, there were complications with the school system, and he ended up staying home for a year. During that year, Adebayo said he got involved with a bad crowd, but after a fight at the end of the year, he met Christ. That was when my life changed. I had been a Christian growing up but [that is] when I started serving God on my own volition, Adebayo said. After his acceptance of Christ, doors started opening for him to come to college in the United States. He said he went to a prayer conference and told God that he needed to get into school and would go wherever God wanted to lead him. A month later, he found out that his cousin was going to the United States for school. He said that his mom then started looking into the costs of going the United States but found out that it was too much. G o d just st ar te d working different miracles [He] wanted me to come here, Adebayo said. A friend offered to sponsor him and pay for his expenses, and after taking the ACT, he received the Presidential Scholarship at Lee. During that time, Adebayo said he and his family had used almost all the money that they had, but one day, they stopped at a friends house and shared their testimony about Gods provision. The friend provided them $500. Within three days, Tope was able to raise the money he needed to come to Lee. According to Adebayo, he has been here for three years now and has not visited his home in Nigeria since, due to expenses. However, his sister is now a freshman at Lee, and he gets to Skype with his family. Both things, he said, makes being far from home easier. Topes first major culture shock was when he arrived at Lee, and everyone was smiling at him. I dont know if thats just a Cleveland thing or a United States thing, but when I arrived, everyone was smiling and I did not expect that, Tope said. It made everything just a little bit better for me. Adebayo also watched American movies and did a bit of research before he arrived, so he said he was mentally prepared to come to the United States. He said he also had a couple of African friends already at Lee that he spent time with, which helped him cope. Just two days after Adebayo arrived at Lee, though, he got really sick. He stayed in the hospital overnight and found out he had malaria. He said he was infected back at home but did not see the effects of it until he arrived in the United States. He was quickly treated and released from the hospital the next day. I stayed the night in the hospital, but thank God, it got better, Adebayo said. God healed me. According to Adebayo, there are many differences between American and African cultures. The jobs in Nigeria are mainly banking businesses for those who have graduated with degrees. People who do not have an education often sell their goods in roadside markets. If youre driving to Chattanooga on the interstate, there is no one on the side of the road selling snacks or something, but you see a lot of that in Nigeria, Adebayo said. He explained some of the frustrations of driving in Nigeria, including slowed traffic due to roadside vendors. [Y]ou have guys just hawking. Tope said. Thats what we call it. They sell water and stuff on the road that you can just get. In Nigeria, Tope said children give their parents the ultimate respect, unlike here in America where children are more casual with their parents. I feel like that is the biggest difference between African culture and American culture, Adebayo said. [F]or me right now, Im graduating from college, so I can almost talk to my mom freely, but when I was a kid, I couldnt do that. Tope described the cultural practice of lying prostrate on the floor to great ones parents in the morning. Holidays in Nigeria are also different. Adebayos family is very large, and his family including his cousins, aunts and uncles gather together to celebrate Christmas, E aster, Indep endence Day and New Years. However, in Nigeria, there are not only Christians but also Muslims and idol worshipers who celebrate different holidays. Calendars in Nigeria do not have any holidays written on them because there are too many holidays. At Lee, Adebayo is on the rugby team, serves as a peer leader and has been involved with WASA World African Students Association. He said he believes that everyone who has come to Lee for a reason, including himself. No matter what Im going through here, I always try to remember that there is a reason why Im here, said Adebayo. I feel like God has a calling on my life to do something, and I always keep that in the back of my mind.

Trolley disappears from campus

LIFE

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.

Embracing Beauty on campus

Foreign policy brought into question


By Zach Orrison Conservative Columnist By Kelsy Black Fashion Columnist Like a tired clich or the plot of all three Cheetah Girls movies, Im going to talk about the true meaning of beauty. Why am I writing about this if its such a clich? Because we still live in a society that deafeningly echoes a t h ou s a n d different explanations of beauty simultaneously. Because we silently suffer from eating disorders and other forms of self-harm because we dont meet the so-called standard of beauty. Because we feel like the presence of lewd comments and c atc a l ls prove s desirability, and without being objectified, were not wanted. Because we are our own harshest critic and judge, to the point of depression and shame. Because we think we have to prove our worth to a world that says well never be good enough anyway. Because deep down, were afraid to accept ourselves as is. This beauty battle has to end. Appearance is used as a cultural currency to gain acceptance and belonging; however, the societal standard of perfection is literally unattainable. Barbie herself, if a real person, would be around 6 feet tall with a 39 inch bust, 18 inch waist and 33 inch hips! Talk about a Malibu monster! Are you brave enough to realize the truth? To look in the mirror and say, Im good enough, no matter what? I know this is all terribly trite, but the message of beauty has become stale because we still havent accepted it as fact. If you sincerely trade the lies about your identity for truth, radical change will occur not only in your own life but also across campus. There is no greater feeling than knowing you are secure in your identity. A bad hair day, failed quiz, heartbreak or a regretful mistake nothing you ever do can separate you from your inherent worth. Bad days happen; maybe today is even one of them for you! I challenge you to read Isaiah 43:1-4 when you start beating yourself up over your appearance. Then read it as many times as needed for the message to truly sink in. Believe it. Claim it. Live it. Walk down the sidewalk on your way to class or your dorm knowing that no matter what you wear, do or say, you are worth loving. Will you be bold with me? Lets start a movement of affirmation and positive selfimage across the Lee University campus first beginning with our own self-image. In an apt quote attributed to Audrey Hepburn, For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone. Thats the great thing about beauty: its contagious. A few weeks ago was the anniversary of the greatest tragedy in modern American history 9/11. Thousands of loved ones were lost on this day, which was also a day our nation came together. For one day, fellow Americans recognized what was at stake. There was now worry and the potential for another attack to happen, but no one knew when. On Sept. 11, 2012, the United States Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was attacked resulting in the death of two former Navy Seals. Their names were Tyrone Wood and Glenn Doherty. They were examples of two individuals that served our country with the courage that anyone of us should admire. Sean Smith, a management officer, and U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens also died during the attacks on the United States embassy. Our hearts go out to the families of these men. The attack begs the question: Was security at an acceptable level in a country that we have had rough relations with in the past? We can talk all day about the Libyan governments instability, especially with the fall of infamous leader Muammar al-Gaddafi nearly a year ago. However, security should have been tightened given the day that the attacks happened. Those are not the only developments that cause concern for our nations best interests. On Friday, Sept. 14, the United States State Department issued warnings in Sudan and Tunisia. In Sudan, individuals stormed the U.S. Embassy, tr ying to break in. Because of the antiAmerican violence in these respective countries, the State Department sees it unfit for American citizens to be in them. The Sudanese government also rejected a request for U.S. military presence at the embassy. Former Ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, said on Fox News Sunday Sept. 16 that essentially something more should have been done or put in place. He said that he sees no end in sight. I say something needs to be done with the leadership in Washington. In Afghanistan over the weekend, youth were burning American flags in protest of an anti-Islamic film. What do all of these countries have in common? They all have unstable governments, and their chances of political development are seemingly l ow. Even though America has attempted to spread democracy in these places, it has become largely unaccepted. We need leadership and an administration that is proactive when it comes to our nations security. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is meeting with world leaders now postattacks about how to solve these problems. However, this does not negate the fact that there was not a proper amount of resources allocated to the embassies overseas when our relations with Libya, Sudan and Tunisia are not the best. Mike Rodgers, R-Mich., said these attacks that happened last week were only moderately spontaneous attempts in response to the Obama administration saying they were spontaneous attacks. He also argues that we are disengaging in the attack areas, and our friends cannot count on us. We need a president who earns and keeps the trust of our friends overseas, and that person is not our current president but Gov. Mitt Romney. The violins are weeping as we all do during finals while their twin fiddles play wild jigs of joy as we all do (or should do) when the latest Lee Clarion is released. T h a t s not all. Classical guitars serenade their imaginary lovers; schizophrenic pianos are making rainbows out of their mood rings; operatic voices are birthing stories of dramatic intrigue. While some voices are quiet and timid, other voices are singing in Spanish. Actually, I call every language I dont know

Letter from the Editor: keeping up with chaos


Economic healthcare: a rebuttal
By Eric Miller Liberal Columnist My friend Zach, the Conservative Corner writer, recently wrote a column about the new healthcare act. I would like to respond to that article and offer an argument for the new law, but I will make a conservative argument for it. L e ts talk about e c on om i c i n c e nt ive s . Under our current system, large companies are able to offer health insurance to employees, sometimes as a tax shelter, and Medicare and Medicaid cover the poor and the old. On the other hand, there has been a steady decline Spanish; Im naive that way. I am in the hallways surrounding the practice rooms. The practice rooms are available to all music students for the perfection of their craft. Each is furnished with a piano, a mirror, a chair and a lectern. If you have been there, you know that to walk through the hallway is to enter into a completely different world. Every door has a bulletproof, 13-by-13 window (no doubt inviting good fortune) where passer-bys can pester the flourishing young artists. Besides the flustered geniuses of sound, you also will spy students on Facebook, fixing their hair in the mirrors or eating Subway. As I stood in the middle of it all, taking in the horns, voices and guitars (not to mention the sudden flush of a toilet), I thought the psychosis of it since 2000 in the percentage of small businesses that offer health coverage. This system provides incentives for someone to be old, poor or to work for a big corporation. I dont think we want people working for large corporations instead of being self-employed or working for or starting small businesses, just so they and their families can have health insurance ... especially since I hear that the entrepreneurial spirit and small business are the engines of job growth. Here is where the public option offered by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act comes in. all would overwhelm me. I qu i c k l y du c ke d into Room 215. After several deep breaths of recovery, I looked around me, wondering what musical lunacy had occurred before fate brought me here. It should be noted that I am the type of music illiterate that you find blowing into the wrong end of a kazoo, so my musical observation leaves much to be desired. First, I noticed a crooked crack in the floor. This was spooky, no less. There was a trash can in the corner. Its contents were few. Significant among its treasures was a small doodled cow and several sheets of music. I made attempts at putting the music (Weep You No More by Roger Quilter) in order with the cow on top, imagining it must be the first moo-vement. (Forgive me.) The public option will be an available choice; it wont outright replace private insurance, and the government will subsidize the premiums of lower income individuals and families. The public option will have the effect, however, of driving down insurance premiums, since insurance companies will need to stay competitive. This benefits consumers, and it allows people to have more money to pump into the economy, sort of in a trickle-up style. If people know they can get affordable healthcare, it is one more risk they do not have to worry about when taking In addition, there was a yellow Laffy Taffy wrapper with, of course, a joke. Why did the skeleton go to the movies alone? asked Jon H. from Cocoa, Fla. Why? I asked aloud. He had no body to go w it h h i m . Very crude, Jon H. from Cocoa, Fla. Remind me not to ask you advice for my humor column. I sat down at the piano, pressed a few keys, counting how long it took for the sound to diminish. 23 seconds. As I looked into my dark reflection in the black face of the piano and realized I was both talking to a Laffy Taffy wrapper and counting sound duration, I realized I needed to leave. Themadnesswasgettingtome. I walked out calmly with an epic drum roll and the sweet sound of a girl singing, Charlie dont surf for his a job or starting a business. One could argue that private companies shouldnt compete with the government to do business, or that governments shouldnt be in the business of providing our tax dollars to cover the masses medical expenses. Those are fine points, but we are already in the business of socialized medical care; this new act will just make it more efficient. If people want to argue that we should abolish all social healthcare, thats fine, but its not an argument I hear very often. Dear readers, I have never, ever been one of those people who says, You know, I really just dont like TV. Im typically the person on the other end of that conversation with her mouth agape that someone could not enjoy something so humorous, intriguing or far from reality. That being said, I think the only time Ive turned on a television in the past month is to watch the Emmys, and even then, I was running to my office every commercial break to hammer out more work. College is supposed to be a fun, exciting time where we challenge ourselves academically, expand our circles socially and embrace the lifestyle of sleep that we will never again have. That being said, Im struggling. My days are scheduled down to the minute, and I still find myself overwhelmed, trying to pull something together at 12:43 a.m.While you might enjoy--nay, thrive-on this lifestyle, I do not. Lets get a little bit personal while I inform you of my habits that could possibly qualify me to be a grandma. 1. I cozy up in my Snuggie at any given opportunity. 2. I have piles of old newspapers behind my desk that I cant bear to part with. 3. I like to eat dinner at 4:30. Leave me alone. Its when Im hungry. 4. I am frequently losing things that are on my person. 5. If possible, I like to be in bed by 10 p.m. and asleep within the hour. Needless to say, most of this list has impeded me from being your average college student. All nighters? Nope. Reading every Lee Clarion that comes out and framing my clips? That would be me. However, as a senior, Ive now discovered that it literally can take all day and night to work on a project. Im pretty talented at scheduling, and I have been unable to find the time to actually work on the amount of projects Ive amassed

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.

Mens rugby scrums up for new scholarships


By Josh Eferighe Contributing Writer During the Fall of 2015, Lee University will be moving from the NAIA to the NCAA Division II, a power move that will mean different teams, more competition, and possibly more students. While most teams will be affected by the transition the mens rugby club will not. Their exception is solely based on the fact that they are a club sport, not one of the athletic sponsored sports. The team is derived from only walk on participants seeking on campus participation rather than scholarship based motivation. However, there are few scholarships available to team members. Players like Andrew Amburgey see the NCAA move as an indirect way of affecting the team in a positive way. The NCAA status can be helpful in recruiting better players, but does not affect the club status, Amburgey said. While the NCAA transition does not directly affect the team, the growth has be non-stop, even in the uFriday, Sept. 21, the Lady Flames soccer team defeated Spring Hill College 4-0 for their first conference win. The significance behind the win was more than just a victory. It has been 10 years since the Lady Flames have lost a conference game on their home field. Their last lost came in the TranSouth Conference on Sept. 2, 2002 to Berry College. school support. The club has increased the number of scholarships it can give to its players. According to senior player Kyle Hudson it has been significant in comparison to last year when they first started giving scholarships out. The te am b e g an scholarships last year and has seen an increase this year, Hudson said. We currently have three $1,000 scholarships for new players and two $1,500 scholarships for returners. This year the team is the largest its been in years, which has benefits that are u Lee womens athletics garnered special conference merit over the past week.

The growth in school support not only has energized the team but has led to local popularity which has translated into five high school recruits this fall with two more coming in this spring. Among the newcomers is freshman Brian Coleman. Originally from California, Coleman had no idea he was coming to Lee or that there was a rugby team here. Originally I thought there was going to be a football team, Coleman said. But I found out there was rugby instead, so I uThe Lady Flames volleyball team is not only ranked near the top of the coaches poll, they are also producing near the top in statistic rankings.

It ended up being better than I expected. I have never been on a team with a group of players that love the Lord and its a blessing to have that atmosphere. According to Hudson the growth of the team really matters and the consistency of its players is definitely a first the team has seen in a long while. The club has typically had a high turnover ratio from year-to-year. The team has about 15 more consistent players than it had in previous years, Hudson said.

It is possible with more scholarships available and more participants joining the club than ever before the team will seek to further its purpose for receiving more funding and more support. In order for that to become a reality, the club must one day deliver a championship that has slipped from their reach in the past. uThe mens soccer team is 3-41 overall and 0-2 in SSAC play with almost half their season gone.

Alpha Gamma Chi seeks new world record


By Mark Pace Contributing Writer Lee Universitys Alpha Gamma Chi is striving to set their second world record within the last seven years. Chi set the world record in 2005 for the longest softball game ever played 101 hours of 424-inning softball. Now, Chi is working forth to set a new world record in flag football. Starting on Lee Day, Chi will attempt to play flag football for 50 consecutive hours. The current record is set at 24 hours by a group from Scotland. The reason being [for the world record attempt] is because were going into the 50 year anniversary of Chi. Part of us doing this is to get our alumnis attention again and to draw them back in [for the] 50th anniversary, said Josh Powers, the Chi member coordinating the event. Chi is Lees second club to celebrate its 50 year anniversary, behind Upsilon XI. The club is planning on raising $86,000 for the event. They will be selling sponsorships to local and national companies to raise the money, and they will also be selling memorabilia for the game. All of the proceeds are going to be donated to People for Care & Learning (PCL). The game itself is actually a fundraiser to build a health clinic and a marketplace in Cambodia, Powers said. PCL is currently starting a project called Build A City, which Chi hopes to join. The goal of PCL is to build an entire city in Cambodia. The city that they are looking to build will take the place of some of the old cities, which have been home to many people that are currently living in cardboard boxes and drinking dirty water. The Lazarus Foundation and Lee University have partnered together and have agreed to double the amount of money that Chi makes for the game. The world record attempt

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.

Sports Information Lee womens golf coach John Maupin would be the first to admit that he would have loved to have seen his team place higher than 13th and score better than a 967 in the Yale University Fall Collegiate, but he is willing to chalk the 54hole event up as the experience of a lifetime for his club. It wasnt exactly what we wanted today, said Maupin, as his Lady Flames waited to board the plane and head back toward the Lee campus on Sunday evening, But I definitely think we can take away some things to work on from this one. I think the physical and mental fatigue took a toll today. It was our fourth round, and it was a difficult course to walk. That is a good thing though, as we need to go through that in preparation for future events. That is one reason we came up here. Nova Southeastern (Fla.) led the entire 54 holes, and paced by the tourneys top three golfers, claimed the team title (859). Penn State was second (885), and Harvard was third (886) while host Yale and Seton Hall tied for fourth (909). Daniela Ortiz, who fired back-to-back rounds of 67 was medalist (207). Lee sophomore Madison Alexander turned in a 77 on Sunday and drew praise from Maupin. Madison gave us a great round today, especially in the windy conditions. I was really proud of her for finishing off the tournament well. Alexander totaled a 243 over the 54 holes. As a team the Lady Flames had a 325 in the final round. Courtney Shelton slipped to an 80 on the final day but was still best overall for the Lady Flames (231). Sloane Skinners 83 gave her a 246 tally. Bernadette Little came in with an 85 and a three-day total of 247, while Chelsa Rakestraw posted an 88 and finished at 265. As a team we are playing a lot of good holes, added Maupin. We just need to work on tightening some things up and avoiding the big numbers. We have a couple weeks until our next one, so well now look forward to preparing for that one. This was such a well-run event, and we want to thank Yale University for hosting us.
