Student vandals tag student, college vehicles

KYLER POST
Editor-in-Chief

The biggest question facing Berry students Tuesday

was a simple one: ninja or pirate?
Campus police caught four students tagging vehicles
with the words “ninja” and “pirate” early Tuesday morn-
ing, Campus Police Chief Bobby Abrams said.
Both student vehicles and vehicles owned by the col-
lege were tagged by the group of students, Abrams said.
“We caught them running around behind the science
building around 2:30 in the morning,” he said. “They were
using some sort of shoe polish to vandalize vehicles.”
As students headed to class Tuesday morning, the wide-
spread vandalism brought mixed reactions.
“I thought it was funny,” sophomore Brittany Regan
said. “Seeing that kind of thing on almost every car in the
lot was pretty awesome.”
Junior Ivy Ricks said she did not give the vandalism a
second thought.
“I had better things to worry about that day,” she said.
“Like tests.”
While most of the vehicles tagged featured writing on
the back glass of the vehicle, some of the paint was found
on the body of some vehicles.
Regan said she and her brother, senior Shawn Regan,
both had window paint on the body of their vehicles. CANDLER HOBBS, Asst. Photo Editor

“Even though it was on the body of my car, there was
no permanent damage,” she said.
Senior Megan Michener also had paint on the hood of
her car, and she said she still hasn’t completely removed
it.
“I had to scrub my car with Clorox wipes for a pretty
long time,” Michener said. “And even after that, when I
saw it in the sunlight, you could still see it faintly.”
Michener said she was upset but also appreciated the
humor of the campus-wide prank.
“I’m kind of in the middle on this,” she said. “If it had
just been on my windows, I would have laughed it off like

upset me.” “Immature doesn’t begin to describe what I think these

overstepped boundaries.
“I think they were probably just bored,” Farish said.
“And it’s a pretty unique prank, but they took it a step too
far when they damaged other people’s property.” SEE “VANDALISM” P. 12
Senior Stephen Santana said he was disappointed by

Maximum student work hours to be lowered

AMANDA GRISWELL
Managing Editor
Students participating in the student
work program next year will see a decrease
in the maximum number of hours they are
allowed to work.
Currently, freshmen are allowed to work
a maximum of 15 hours per week, whereas
sophomores, juniors and seniors may work
up to 20 hours per week. In the fall, all stu-
dent workers will only be able to work a
maximum of 16 hours a week with a few
exceptions.
Mike Burnes, dean of student work and
experiential learning, said there were three
reasons why the number 16 was chosen.
The student work program needed to
“promise less [hours] because of the bud-
JHWÀQGDQXPEHUWKDWZRXOGVWLOOSURYLGH
meaningful work [and] 16 is a historical
number [for Berry].”
In the 1960s, students worked two eight
hour days each week. The student work
program can no longer guarantee 20 hours
per week for students, while staying within
their budget.
“The budget is driving the drop to 16,”
Burnes said.
The student work budget is still being
worked on for next year.
“It’ll be more than this year,” Assistant
Vice President for Finance Scott Shank
said.
Some students agree with the decision
and see that it is for the best. Sophomore
Alyssa Nobles said she thinks that the
change is necessary because of all the prob-
lems with the budget.
“Probably the best solution,” Nobles
said.
This solution will still provide jobs for
students working on campus. There are
few alternative options when it comes to
staying within the budget.
“[There is] only one other option … in-
crease the budget,” Burnes said.
Increasing the budget is not feasible, be-
cause the money is not there. If the money
is put into the student work program bud-
get it has to come from another source,
Burnes said.
Students are aware that something has
to be done in order to give all students the
opportunity to work. Christine Clolinger
said she understands where the college is
coming from and it is better to cut hours
than jobs.
“… It forces students who want to do too
much to cut back a little,” Clolinger said.
All students will not be impacted by
the new maximum number of hours for
student work. Students who are paid on a
stipend will continue to receive the same
amount of money.
“Stipend pay will remain the same,”
Burnes said.
Students continue to express their con-
cerns and misunderstandings about the
change in the maximum number of hours
a student can work.
Sophomore Jessica Cantrell said she is
confused because 16 hours per week will
not meet the money she is awarded through
the federal work study program.
Other students said they feel Berry
should continue to offer students more
hours if the emphasis for school continues
to be on the student work program.
Juniors Thushy Muruges and Angela
Stephens said they feel the limit is contra-
dictory to the student work program.
Departments will be able to apply for
students to work more than 16 hours if they

Since the onset of spring, heavy pollen
has attacked the Berry community with a
vengeance.
According to a “Pollen cast” by The Weather
Channel, Mount Berry is experiencing “very
high” tree pollen counts as of last week. The
“Pollen Almanac” showed a clear change from
moderate to very high pollen counts begin-
ning April 5, 2010.
Along with Berry College, many other areas
in the Southeast are experiencing one of the
worst pollen seasons in years. A pollen count
of 120 is considered high, but last week Atlanta
reached an almost record-breaking count of
5,733 according to The Weather Channel.
Anita Errickson, director of health services,
said the Health and Wellness Center has had a
lot more students come in with allergy prob-
lems, a one-third increase from the previous
academic year.
“Pollen counts are so high that even stu-
dents, who did not have allergy problems
before are coming in,” Errickson said.
Nose congestion, sore throats and watery
eyes are common symptoms around campus
as cars continue to turn light green and yellow

Junior Katie Underdown said she often
feels very congested in the morning because
of the pollen.
“I get stuffy noses and sometimes a sore
throat,” Underdown said.
Sophomore Josh Stevenson said the arrival
of pollen this spring was far worse than previ-
ous years.
“Because of the high pollen count I could

I love food—especially good food.
Although I am not a picky eater, there
is nothing more disheartening to me
than a boring meal. I know my way
around good food and often cannot
believe how my peers are so content
eating what they do—for both health
reasons and because they have no
idea what good food really is. To me,

healthy. My habits, attitude and philos-
ophy regarding food are perhaps more
thought out than most my age.
I do not mean to brag because when
it comes to American junk food I am
indeed naïve—I have (to the amaze-
ment of my American friends) had little
exposure to most common snack foods.
Yet I consider being spared of this void
a luxury in many ways. I grew up out-
side of the U.S., where even getting
peanut butter was a luxury item often
found in your Christmas stocking.
Since my family has moved back to the
U.S., we have never really felt the need
to mesh ourselves into the eating hab-
its of Americans—we enjoy our African
and foreign food too much and do our
best to replicate those here.
As a teenager, I never had the

immediately begin to look at food in
terms of its ingredients and how they
harmonize together to perform a bal-
lad that is music to your mouth.
People in the U.S. do not under-
stand what good food really is. Most of
my peers abhor vegetables or have just
plain never tried so many of the most
basic, simplest foods. They are trapped
in their bubble of fast food and pro-
cessed, wrapped foods. I can proudly
say that I have converted some people
to cooking in a different way. Part of
the problem is that mothers themselves
do not cook anymore; they consider
cooking as a laborious pain that is oh,
so hard. It is really not—all you have to
do is follow directions on a recipe. The
results of this laziness have brought
about a generation that does not know
what home made meals are (this does
not include frozen, store bought dishes
that are put in the oven for so long) and
do not know how to cook themselves.
Cooking is a salve for me, perhaps
the best demonstration of how I learn
something. I will follow directions,
experiment through trial and error and
most likely end up tweaking whatever
I cook to make it my own. I began cook-

OZMA NIVEN'S STORY
One student's battle against cancer
LAUREN JONES
Asst. Features Editor
It was Feb. 17, 2010, and she was at the
Cage Center between 3 and 4 p.m., working
out on what she thought was an elliptical
machine. All she knew was that it makes
her thighs and glutes hurt with a really
LQWHQVHIXOÀOOLQJSDLQDQGVKHUHDOO\OLNHG
that machine. Working out relieves stress,
and she had really been stressing herself
out lately. She was taking classes and work-
ing like crazy.
As a biology, pre-med major, her day is

down. But there was a nagging voice in
her head reminding her of the surgery she
had a few days ago. The surgeon had re-
moved one of the hard knots she found on
her lymph nodes, and she was waiting to
hear news.
Meanwhile, she was living life as nor-
mally as possible, staying busy and getting
her work done. But it was in the Cage Cen-
ter that junior Ozma Niven’s phone lit up
with the call that changed her life.
The surgeon who preformed Niven’s
V¿UVWFKHPRWKHUDS\WUHDWPHQWLQ6DYDQQDK
surgery told her that he had some bad
QHZV 6KH GHÀQLWHO\ KDG +RGJNLQ·V /\P-
phoma, but he would not tell her exactly

could research it. Niven said the surgeon
was being evasive, and that when she said
she was working out at the gym, the sur-
geon said, muttering more to himself, that
her working out was a good sign.

told me, I didn’t even hear because I was in

Niven to the science building to see her
adviser, Associate Professor of Biology Bill
Davin, who automatically told her that her
disease was cancer. Niven was in shock,
and she emotionally broke down. Davin

Within the hour Niven received another
phone call, this time from an oncologist
calling to schedule more medical tests for
Niven, who broke down again. Niven said
she felt completely overwhelmed.
Niven said she wanted to go to class and
work the next day. Niven was the mascot
UHSURIHV-
for the cheerleading squad and wanted to
make practice. But on her way to her nor-
mal day-to-day activities, Niven was called
into the hospital to get some last minute
Positron Emission Tomography scans, or
PET scans.
Niven said she had never heard of
+RGJNLQ·V /\PSKRPD ZKLFK LV D UDUH
cancer with a high cure rate. Niven said
it starts in the lymph nodes and spreads
TXLFNO\+RGJNLQ·V/\PSKRPDFDQVSUHDG
into the bone marrow and in that case, can
be fatal. But Niven’s cancer was caught in
stage one, preventing any extremely nega-
tive consequences.
Niven said her cancer began in her neck
and spread quickly to her shoulders.
“I noticed the bumps in November.
There were hard knots in one area of my
neck. I had one big lymph node in my neck.
It was a hard knot sticking out of my neck,
and friends touched it, and were like, ‘Ew,
gross! What is that?’ I woke up and realized
it was something else when I had two more
red bumps. I went to the Ladd Center, and
they told me to take ibuprofen all day and

come back in three days. They wanted to

schedule an appointment with the doctor
for me, but it was at 8 a.m. And I wasn’t go-
ing to go at 8 in the morning, but I should
have gone,” Niven said.
Niven said she went to the Urgent Care

frightening surprise.
“I went to Urgent Care, and right when
I went there, they sent me to the ER. They
told me I had to talk to a surgeon,” Niven
said.
Niven had surgery removing one of her
lymph nodes in early February, not even
a week before she was diagnosed. Niven
asked to see the lymph node that was re-
moved and said she thought it was pretty.

lymph node,” Niven said.
Niven said she has to go through three
to four cycles of chemotherapy before mov-
ing on to radiation therapy.
“I hate chemo,” Niven said. “It makes
me nauseous just thinking about it. I dread
it.”
Niven said chemotherapy is not “excru-
ciatingly painful” but that it is a long, hor-
rible process. Several drugs used for cancer

patients are released into Niven’s blood
steam. Niven is connected to a machine for
around four hours and receives four differ-
ent types of medicine.
“I automatically taste metal in my
mouth,” Niven said, describing the initial
feelings of chemotherapy. “And now, I

my urine can burn children.” Niven said.
Three of the medicines Niven receives
through chemotherapy are clear, but one
is red. The red medicine is the one that
makes Niven lose her hair. Niven said she
has lost a lot of hair, and the hair she does
have does not feel like her hair at all. It feels
coarse and wiry. Before her cancer, Niven
had very long, natural-blond hair. She had
it cut off and donated the 17 inches of blond
to Locks of Love.
“I was really upset [about losing my
hair], and I guess it was a security blanket.
Now, I wear a bandana or a hat,” Niven
said.
A side effect of chemotherapy is having

Along with her chemotherapy, Niven
had a bone marrow biopsy to make sure
her cancer did not spread into her bone
marrow. She described a very painful pro-

back of the hip bone.

and treat her well. Niven said she sleeps a
lot after her chemotherapy.
Niven’s last chemotherapy treatment is
Friday. She will have scans done by May
3 to make sure the cancer is gone. Then, if
there is no more cancer, Niven can move on
to radiation treatments.
Niven’s friends are also showing great
support. Junior Gabrielle Ossege is one of
Niven’s best friends and was present at the

Also, senior Tyler McCaslin and juniors
:LOO%URRNV7HUU\+HQGHUVRQ&DUORV6DQ-
chez, Craig Morgan, Seth Camp and Chris
Stewart showed their support for Niven.
The boys heard their friend was starting
chemotherapy and made a collage for her
using Photoshop. Before and after shaving
their heads, they took photos of themselves.
They sent it to Niven by mail, and she said
she received it right before her most recent
chemotherapy treatment.
“It just happened that way. I cried,” Niv-
en said, describing receiving and opening
her letter.
Niven said she has been enjoying her

friend is from Savannah, and he goes to all
of her treatments with her as well. Niven
said she could not have taken classes and
worked at Berry while undergoing treat-
ments, but she does miss Berry.
“I really wish I didn’t have to leave, but
I’m glad I did for the semester. I have a lot
of bad days, and I know I couldn’t handle
my classes,” Niven said.
Niven did not plan to have to take time
off from her education but said she is tak-
ing a chemistry course during the summer
to help catch up with her studies. Though

ily with updates so they will know how she

have to answer the same questions many
times, and people can check on her daily.
Niven said her father turned her focus onto
the blog forum.

She just got done with radiation. My dad
wanted me to get it just for me, too. I get on
and vent about my cancer,” Niven said.
Niven has posted excerpts from po-

on her blog. She had quoted Walt Whit-
man’s “Leaves of Grass,” dialogue from
“Little Women” by Louisa May Alcott, and

kinds of things help make her feel comfort-
able during this painful time.
“They comfort me, these things I have
seen before. They have totally new mean-
ings to me because I have cancer now,”
Niven said.
She described riding in the car with one
of her friends and hearing Lady Gaga’s
“Just Dance” on the radio. Not a huge Gaga
fan, Niven said she could not believe when
she started crying. She said she was touched
by the lyrics, “It’ll be OK, just dance.”
Niven’s two Sheltie dogs also have com-
forted her, and she goes to the gym as much
as she can.
“On my good days I always go to the
gym. I notice running is a stress reliever,”
Niven said.

“I appreciate each day, and I don’t take

cancer has a really high treatment rate. And
I just think ... if I lived way back when they
didn’t have treatments, I’d be a goner,”
Niven said.

Krannert’s Spruill Ballroom.
“Since our freshman year, Brittany has been joking
about cutting her hair short before we graduate and go
into the ‘real world’ but had been chickening out a little,”
Carroll said. “She decided she wanted to cut her ponytail
and donate it in honor of Beth Swann and all that Ginger
had done for her these past four years.”
Davis had known Ginger since she was in high school
and said she has done so much for her.
“When I found out her mom had cancer, I knew im-
mediately that I wanted to help in anyway I could," Davis
said.
Davis’ role in the event was organizing, she said, “by
calling and going to talk to people and businesses about

an initiative as well. The four girls with the help of the
team raised money from local businesses such as Moe’s
and Schroeder’s.
“There are no words to show the amount of grati-

inspirational.”

The Ponytail Party, an idea that came straight from the

‘Beaux’ Stratagem’ full of charisma, old world charm

AMANDA GRISWELL
Managing Editor
Sadly, I can probably count on one hand
how many times I have been in the E.H.
Young Theatre in the past four years; I
wish this was not true.
The bright lights drew me into the basic
design of the stage for the Berry College
Theatre Company’s version of “The Beaux’
Stratagem” by George Farquhar. The stage
was set up like a hotel parlor in the 1600s.
The props were simple allowing for the
focus to be on the actors. The centerpiece
of the room was a portrait of College Presi-
dent Steven R. Briggs as our “king.”
I felt like I was entering into a hotel with
the music playing in the background. I felt
at home and ready for the show to start.
The play opens up with the owner of the
hotel Boniface, junior Matt Dixon, speak-
with her outlandish ideas about what is
needed in the medical world and entertains
the audience with her surprising words of
wisdom. Senior Emma Harr as Lady Boun- Left: Senior Emma Harr

Lee’s ‘Charlemagne’offers unique musical balance

GORDIE MURPHY
Guest Writer
Some of you, I imagine, lie awake at night searching for
meaning like I do.
Perhaps some of you have the distant glimmers of a
dream that might make life everything you ever hoped it
could be, and everything you knew it could be. For those
of you, who like me, have been waiting, I have good news.
Glory has arrived; civilization has come to its zenith.
I can hear your voices now: what miraculous thing has
come to save us? What could this epitome of glory be?
Brace yourselves. The answer is Christopher Lee’s new
symphonic metal album entitled “Charlemagne: By the
Sword and the Cross.”
I will say this again: Saruman the Wise, the White Wiz-
ard, Master of Isengard, has taken his rightful place at the
head of a metal band.
The album tells the story of Lee’s direct ancestor Charle-
magne. It features the actor singing in front of a full orches-
tra, chorus, various guest singers and the metal band.
Italian composer Marco Sabiu provided the score for the
album.
The lyrics were written by Marie-Claire Calvet, a grad-
uate of Bristol University. Either that or Christopher Lee
simply made it all into being.
The result sounds much like musical theater. The album

Actor Christopher Lee, known for playing Saruman the

an introduction, in which the historical background infor-
mation is narrated, and a musical section that expands
upon the information in the introduction.
The overture sets the mood for the album. Dramatic
orchestration rises and gives way to the electric guitars and
drums. The sounds of swords clashing mix with the music
just before the guitar solo, and then we’re off to the story.
The story of the album centers on Charlemagne’s role
as a Christian king and how his faith played into his reign.
It tells of how he tried to spread the faith by means of both
WKHFURVVDQGWKHVZRUGVSHFLÀFDOO\KLVFDPSDLJQVDJDLQVW
the Franks and the Saxons. Parts of it run much like a
soliloquy, with Charlemagne pondering the morality of his
actions as king.
The orchestration, while well-done, plays a subordinate
role to the storytelling and singing. I honestly would have
liked to hear more from the orchestra and metal band, and
less from the singers.
The singers themselves do a good job, for the most part.
The album features a number of guest vocalists, who play
various characters in the story. Among them are Vincent
Ricciardi as the young Charlemagne, Christina Lee as the
narrator, and Christi Ebenhoch as the storytelling singer.
As for Lee himself, he doesn’t so much sing as intone
GUDPDWLFDOO\WKURXJKRXWWKHDOEXPZKLFKLVÀQHE\PH
He’s made a good career off having an awesome voice,
and he can pretty much do what he wants at this point. It
doesn’t sound musical, but him chanting “I shed the blood
of Saxon men” sounds so right, somehow.

use of the chorus, gradually mixing with the metal band,
which moves on to a reprise of one of the more memora-
ble themes from the album called “The Bloody Verdict at
Verden.”
All in all, the project is an interesting balance between
musical theatre, classical music and metal. This is not
for someone looking to have music playing in the
background.
It is different and maybe a little silly at times. On the
other hand, Saruman’s voice has been known to put men
under a spell, and it’s a little bit awesome just for that.

showing April 22 through April 24 at 8

I ordered the barbecue pork plate with two

I chose corn nuggets, and the potato salad as
