CU to host Big South men’s tourney

By LynJosha Russell Assistant Editor

Excitement rang in Gore Arena when faculty, students, and community members heard that Campbell was selected as the host school for the Big South Men’s Basketball Championship. The tournament will take place March 3 to 6, 2016, and this will be the first time that Campbell will host the men’s event.

“We look forward to March Madness this spring,” said Campbell president J. Bradley Creed. “This event will have a huge economic impact on this area. This is the largest multi-day event ever to come to Campbell’s campus.”

There will be 11 other institutions filling Gore Arena during the tournament. On Thursday, coverage will be on the Big South Network. On Friday and Saturday, ESPN3 will televise the quarterfinals and semifinals, respec-

tively. The final, on Sunday, will be aired on ESPN2 at 2:30 p.m.

“It’s so unbelievable that we can have this type of event here in Buies Creek,” said head coach Kevin McGeehan. “I know that with great pride that we will put on the most high class event. This conference will be proud and we will be proud of what is to come.”

Athletic Director, Bob Roller, was one of the main ones to set a bid as acceptable enough to be unanimously

selected for Campbell. “This affects the whole community,” Roller said.

“This will give us a boost in our ego and more strut in our step.”

Going into the basketball season, getting this news has a major effect on the outlook for the upcoming season.

“It puts an extra layer of excitement on it,” said McGeehan. “There is this carrot at the end that’s even a little bit See Big South, Page 7

Women’s soccer season comes to an end

By Eric Ortiz

Contributing Writer

Campbell women’s soccer’s impressive season came to an end Sunday afternoon after falling in the Big South Conference championship match at Bryan Park in Greensboro, N.C. The No. 1-seed Liberty Flames topped the No. 4-seed Fighting Camels, 1-0.

Over the weekend, the Fighting Camels received a ton of support from their fans. Along with family of the players, many students made the trip from Buies Creek to support the team in Greensboro. The atmosphere was ecstatic.

In the opening round of the Big South Tournament, on Nov. 1, Campbell hosted the quarterfinal match against No. 5-seed

UNC Asheville. The lone goal in the match was scored on senior Ashley Clark’s penalty kick in the 67th minute leading the Camels to a 1-0 victory and a semifinal matchup against No. 2-seed Coastal Carolina.

There are many things Campbell is known for: its homey-feel, personable faculty, even its role as a matchmaker for many students. These characteristics date back to as early as 1934, when my great-great-aunt Catherine Cheek-Hall was a student.

Hall, born Aug. 6 1915, celebrated her 100th birthday this year, and over fall break I had the privilege to sit down with her and talk about how she remembers Campbell.

“Eighty-one years ago, it was much smaller than it is now, and it was called Campbell Junior College,” said Hall. “Dr. James Archibald Campbell, the founder, had just died, and his son, Leslie, was the new president—but it seemed as though Dr. Campbell’s spirit was still hovering over the place. Our mandatory chapel services continued to include ‘Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me,’ his favorite hymn.”

Coming to Campbell was something Hall was determined to accomplish, working and saving in order to pay her way through school.

“I worked two years at Burlington industry…I had saved $700, and the first year, I paid my way, everything. I wrote my own checks and earned my See Cheek-Hall, Page 6

AROUND CAMPUS State to close 421 for tunnel work beginning Nov. 16

Campbell named to Military Friendly list for third-straight year

The N.C. Department of Transportation will start road closures and detours on U.S. 421/N.C. 27 beginning Nov. 16 in Buies Creek as work continues on a new pedestrian tunnel at Campbell University.

Local traffic will still have access to campus via Leslie Campbell Avenue and Harmon Road.

Other motorists will follow a signed detour using Johnson Farm Road to Sheriff Johnson Road to Old Stage Road to N.C. 27 back to U.S. 421.

The detour is anticipated to last about one month before U.S. 421/N.C. 27 is reopened to one lane of travel in each direction. The tunnel is anticipated to be open to the public in the summer of 2016. Crews will continue work to the surrounding area, including planting vegetation, through December 2016.

Campbell was named to Victory Media’s 2016 Military Friendly Schools list again this month.

Now in its seventh year, the designation is awarded to the top colleges, universities, community colleges and trade schools in the nation that are doing the most to embrace military students and to dedicate resources to ensure their success both in the classroom and after graduation. It’s at least the third year in a row Campbell has been named a Military Friendly School.

Victory Military compiled the list based on survey responses to questions covering military support on campus, graduation and employment outcomes, and military spouse policies.

Karah Wilson winner of TAG Day video scholarship contest Campbell University’s Office of Annual Giving has announced that undergraduate student Karah Wilson won the 2015 #CampbellTAGDay video contest and a $1,000 scholarship based on alumni votes.

As part of Homecoming 2015, Campbell held its second TAG Day, or Thank-AGiver Day, on Oct. 22, when Campbell students, faculty, staff and alumni took to social media to celebrate donor generosity.

There were more than 700 social media posts related to #CampbellTAGDay, and several dozens of those were short videos in which students shared why they were thankful for donors who give to Campbell. Campbell Giving narrowed the video entries to five finalists. Alumni voted on their favorite among the finalists.

Med school professor Dr. William Morris dies The School of Osteopathic Medicine professor Dr. William F. Morris, founding chair of the Department of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine, died on Nov. 4.

A physician, professor, friend, mentor and advocate for patients, students and the osteopathic profession, Morris came to Campbell in the fall of 2012 and developed the osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) curriculum for the new medical school.

“Our hearts are grieved by his passing, and CUSOM is honored to have a fantastic OMM curriculum as part of his legacy here,” said Dr. John Kauffman, founding dean of Campbell’s medical school. “Dr. Morris’s passion for osteopathic medicine and for teaching was immediately apparent the first time I spoke with him and was a constant throughout his career and tenure with CUSOM.” —Campbell.edu

Student organizations had the opportunity to participate in the community Trunk-or-Treat event.

Students fill out handouts and ask a librarian questions in order to assess what kind of procrastinator they are during a session of Long Nights Against Procrastination.

De-stress and write a great essay

By Katlyn Clark

Entertainment Editor

Do you ever feel like you are being bombarded with research papers? You may have questions you want answered, such as: How do I find sources? How do I properly do my paper in MLA format? How should I time manage my school assignments? How do I de-stress from the school workload?

Long Nights Against Procrastination is an event hosted by the Wiggins Memorial Library to help you with those questions. They will have their last session Nov. 16 from 7pm–10pm on the third floor of the library. Librarians are there to help with any questions you may have. You also get to sign in for a chance to win a door prize.

Sarah Steele, Head of Research and Instruction services, was able to find out about this event through reading some literature where it had originated in Germany. The original idea was for this event to be in one night but Steele thought it would be great to break this event up into four nights. She hopes that students can come and learn how to build their research instead of waiting till the last week of November to work on their paper.

“They take full advantage, they will visit with a writing coach about form structure of their paper

and then coming over to a librarian for help to find scholarly sources for their paper,” said Steele. “ We have helped a number of people with simple things like citations, but then more complicated things like scholarly articles and websites. They’re one-onone consultations in the writing center, and also with a librarian, so it is not some big event where you’re just a number.

You can come speak with us personally.”

Counseling services has also paired along with the library for this event by having materials to give out to students to help with de-stress, time management, and more. Tonight’s last and final session will include massage therapists, and students can receive free massages.

The target audience for this event are freshmen and sophomores who are currently in English classes or still trying to figure out how to do research papers. Everyone is welcome to this event for any help they need, and no one is turned away.

Chanel Wilson, first year graduate student in public health and pharmacy, was one of the many students that came to the event.

“I have two papers that I need to work on that are due very soon, so I wanted to get some help with making sure that my ideas were correct as far as find-

ing sources for one of my papers and then for the writing aspect of it, making sure that it is strong for a graduate student,” said Wilson.

Wilson was able to learn how to navigate sources and was about to go to the writing center to have her paper looked at. She admitted that she wasn’t a very strong writer and mentioned that critiques are not a bad thing.

“The atmosphere is really cool, and they’re very helpful, so I appreciated that,” says Wilson. “If you have a paper, you should come [to Long Nights Against Procrastination].”

In the Writing Center, sophomore Noah Merkousko, showed his positivity towards this event as a writing coach.

“Students should come to help me become a better writer. Coaching students helps my writing as much as it helps theirs,” said Merkousko. “Students should always come to the writing center for help with papers, but especially next Monday, since there’s free food.”

Long Nights Against Procrastination will be held on November 9 and 16 on the third floor of Wiggins Memorial Library from 7 to 10 p.m.

Engineering School on the way to the Creek

By Kasey Snyder Staff Writer

Change is inevitable and seemingly constant as Campbell welcomes an Engineering school, which is set to begin Aug. 2016.

“We had students tour for years that asked for two primary programs, engineering and nursing,” said Provost Mark Hammond.

“We knew, and Admissions knew that we had a lot of students who would come to Campbell to study those programs.”

The idea of an Engineering school was thought of by the former provost and the current provost, who was once the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.

“We had a lot of studies demonstrate that students would come to Campbell to study Engineering,” Hammond said. “We looked at national trends, local trends, and regional trends

to determine whether having an engineering school will be beneficial to the school and community.”

The process of starting the engineering school was not an easy task, it took over several years for the idea of a school to become

a reality.

“Around 2013, me, and the former provost gave some thought to engineering,” said Hammond. “We then looked into initial studies to show whether there was a need for engineering students in the

community; we talked to the board of trustees about starting an engineering school also.”

The engineering curriculum will offer robust, “hands-on” projects that will help students apply the math and science concepts they are learning in class.

“The students will have a total of 7 projects their freshman year,” said Dr. Jenna Carpenter, Dean of the Engineering school.

“Engineering provides a wide variety of career opportunities; they can work in industries big and small once they graduate. A small number of students have already applied to the engineering school.”

Many of the prospective students of the engineering school are excited about what the engineering school can offer them.

“I love the small class sizes. It allows for more ‘hands-on’ projects. While other schools have lec-

ture halls with 400 other students, reading along in a textbook with a grad student for a professor,” sophomore, prospective engineering student, Samuel Thompson said. “We’re building machines with people who have decades of experience in the industry.”

Many of the prospective engineering school students are excited to be able to learn the engineering concepts at a smaller school.

“I love the relationships Dr. Carpenter is building with big-tech companies who are visiting our small school,” Thompson said.

“These people can communicate with us more effectively when there are only a few dozen or so people being spoken to at a time. The whole experience feels more intimate than in larger, more established engineering schools.”

False allegation against Senator Tillis

By Gabe Johnson Staff Writer

A recent slew of scandals surrounding various highprofile politicians across the United States have emerged, claiming that these politicians are associated with the Ku Klux Klan. Among those accused is our North Carolina Senator, Thom Tillis. Having emerged from a blue-collar family and paying for his own tuition while living in a trailer, Senator Tillis has experienced the hardships of life, and the recent preposterous allegation is only a small hurdle for a man dedicated to serving our state and country.

The rumors were released by a group of hacktivists, or activist hackers, who refer to themselves as “Anonymous.”

News outlets quickly took up the questionable story. However, the group recently denied releasing the information. According to Newsweek, Anonymous

stated that a rogue member of their organization published the scandal.

One of the accused is Madeline Rogero, the first woman to hold the office of mayor in Knoxville, Tennessee.

“For reasons unfathomable to me or anyone who knows me, my name is on the list,” said Rogero. “Given my background, my interracial family, my public record, and my personal beliefs, this would be hilarious except that it is probably being seen by a lot of people who have no idea who I am.”

There are too many gaping holes in these claims.

For one, individuals of multiple racial backgrounds are being accused of being members of an organization which is infamous for its white-supremacist ideology.

It is doubtful that anyone with such a high profile and diverse background would even begin to consider

joining the organization.

The same holds true for Senator Tillis. A man of integrity, Senator Tillis has served in government since 2004, when he was elected as a county commissioner.

In 2006, he was elected to the General Assembly and served until 2014, when he ran successfully for the US Senate and defeated former Senator Kay Hagan. In 2011, Governing magazine called Tillis one of the top seventeen GOP Legislators to Watch based on leadership, ambition, and overall potential.

Senator Tillis has since lived up to this description, sponsoring bills in the Senate that would allow our state to move toward energy independence, positive immigration reform, and economic freedom. Aside from his legislative service, Tillis has volunteered in impoverished areas by serving in soup kitchens and other non-profit organizations. His commitment to

our men and women in uniform is unparalleled.

One of many examples is his work on bipartisan legislation that will give veterans free vocational training and higher education.

Given his public service, humble background, and staunch dedication to the people who elected him, it is highly improbable that Senator Tillis would maintain any affiliation with an organization that holds views contradictory to his own.

Clearly, these hackers claiming to be activists are simply angry individuals resorting to dirty tactics in an attempt to sully the reputation and character of our Senator.

Rather than engaging in behind-closed-doors activity, the group should emerge with a substantive discussion and engage in a constructive dialogue, instead of spread false rumors that distract people from the real issues in America.

Libertarianism: an impractical utopian ideology

By Omar Hourani Copy Editor

Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO Martin Shkreli, recently decided to raise the price of his drug from $13.50 to $750.00 per tablet, a 5,455% price hike. This life saving drug, Daraprim, is listed by the WHO as one of the most important medications.

This scenario portrays only a glimpse of that “other” side of capitalism, one where companies strive to become profit-maximizing monopolies, coercively exploiting our life-essentials, and sacrificing public-good to fill their own pockets. In Shkreli’s case, the fact that many will die after not affording treatment is simply a “cost of doing business,” an insignificant means to a profitable end.

Unfortunately, those who identify as “Libertarians” fail

to acknowledge this malicious side of capitalism, preferring to stick to the utopian vision that free-markets work perfectly for everyone. Libertarian rhetoric is fraught with the “either, or” fallacy that free-markets benefit us, while governments are simply forces of “tyranny” and “coercion.” Libertarianism presents us with this false choice: embrace capitalism to its extreme, or suffer under Communism. In fact, any detractors of Libertarianism are simply shunned as “Communists” or “socialists,” since Libertarians’ blackand-white world view doesn’t allow for any moderate stances in between.

In reality, politics and economics are much more complicated than picking and choosing one radical system over the other, Libertarianism or Communism. History and common sense show that

neither of these are practical.

While Communism caused much suffering, capitalism has also left its marks throughout history and today as a source of suffering, income disparity, poverty, and sacrifice of publicgood in pursuit of profits. Pure capitalism is social-Darwinism, or socioeconomic “survival of the fittest;” while highly efficient, it is cruel.

So far, what has worked is a mixed economy; capitalism managed with governmental regulations. Armed with the productivity of capitalism, governments step in to add fairness and social-safety-nets for the disadvantaged. Albeit its efficiency, capitalism does leave the poor man starving to death, and that’s where governments intervene.

Libertarians scoff at this vital government-aid, calling it “wealth redistribution” and “legalized blunder.” Some call

for private charities instead, although these charities aren’t enough, and welfare arose from a dire need. Others, indoctrinated by Ayn Rand, don’t concern themselves with the plight of the disadvantaged, hailing greed instead as the utmost ethical-standard.

Admittedly, government aid could be disastrous if blown out of proportion, creating burdens on taxpayers and incentives for free riders. However, the solution isn’t the Libertarian approach of complete annihilation of welfare and government programs. The practical approach is a balance, where just enough aid is provided as needed.

Ironically, although the US spends the most in the world on military, and more than the next five countries combined, it is government investments in healthcare, education, and welfare that anger Libertarians.

Market-failures are

ubiquitous, and governments often intervened to ameliorate crises.

When capitalism caused environmental neglect and pollution, governments responded with carbon-taxing and environment programs. When capitalism caused poverty and unaffordable healthcare and education, governments responded with welfare and subsidies. When capitalism gave us harmful drugs, governments responded with anti-drug legislation. When capitalism caused economic depressions/recessions, governments responded with fiscal and monetary policies. When capitalism caused monopolies, governments responded with price-gouging and anti-trust laws to promote competition, and ensure we don’t pay extravagant amounts for essentials because an unchecked company decided to abuse its power.

The biggest change that needs to be made is for the BLM to shift its focus. Black deaths resulting from law-enforcement confrontation should be heavily investigated; putting sole attention on this issue only allows the overwhelming amount of black-on-black murder and the socioeconomic problems that causes it to continue.

Instead of just protesting, take direct action. Create fundraisers, charities and scholarships to help black children from low-income families to stay in school and go to college.

Create youth centers and groups to help children who may come from troubled families, and set up adoptions for children who may need a stable home.

The BLM has great potential, but staying with their current focus and tactics will force it to remain a radical group that promotes violent looting and solves none of the problems it wishes to bring to light.

my own money,” said Hall. “I worked for two years to save it, and spent it.”

Like many, Hall was attracted to Campbell for multiple reasons, namely its religious mission and Baptist affiliation.

“I grew up in a Baptist home, and my minister told us about Campbell,” said Hall. “It was friendly, and I was just perfectly happy. I felt like I was where I wanted to be and where I needed to be.”

While Campbell’s welcoming feel has remained to this day, so has its policy of open house.

“We had open house in the girl’s dorm. The boys were invited to come over and Ms. Bouldin was there; she was our house mother,” said Hall. “The boys came over and we could sit in the parlor and talk, sit on the steps and talk, walk around in front of the dorm and talk, but we couldn’t go far so Ms. Bouldin could keep her eagle eyes on us. She did not think we could get away with much.”

Even with these strict rules, Hall had no trouble finding love in the Creek.

“For some reason a Methodist got mixed in with all those Baptists and I happened to meet

[him],” said Hall. “He was a handsome fellow with really deep brown eyes. And he was a little farm boy from a tobacco farm, and I was a little farm girl from a cotton farm, so we made a pretty good match.”

Catherine Cheek met Cullen Hall within the halls of Campbell, and they shared their first kiss on the steps of Campbell’s Library after graduation. Nine years later on Aug. 21, 1943, the two were married.

Hall finished her undergraduate degree in primary education at East Carolina Teachers College, now ECU. Cullen finished his undergraduate degree at Wake Forest, then went on to Vanderbilt University to get his medical degree, and became an OB/GYN. After Hall donated in honor of her husband, the birthing center in the School of Osteopathic Medicine was named for the Hall family. In 2013, Hall had the chance to visit Campbell and see the birthing center.

“I am proud; I am glad to see Campbell advancing and going ahead,” said Hall. “You can’t stand still in anything, you’ve Photo courtesy of Campbell University Between 1934-36, students pose by D.

Chanticleers by a score of 2-0. Clark scored both goals for the Fighting Camels.

With just 10 seconds remaining in the first half, freshman Shannon Wratchford played a cross to a charging Clark. Clark volleyed the ball, and somehow got it over the outstretched glove of the Coastal Carolina goalkeeper.

In the 62nd minute, Clark scored again, cementing Campbell’s lead. All the Camels had to do was hold off the increasingly aggressive Chanticleer attack for the remainder of the match.

Senior goalkeeper Samantha Lawson helped that cause, with five of her eight saves coming in the final 20 minutes of play.

“We just played a very good game. The two goals we scored were definite quality,” head coach Stuart Horne told GoCamels.com following the semifinal match. “It was just an overall really good team performance.”

Clark led the Fighting Camels in goals (17), assists (10), points (44), and shots (105). Wratchford and junior Payton Ormsby finished with 5 goals apiece.

The two senior goalkeepers, Lawson and Alexis Connors, finished with 31 and 54 saves, respectively.

Due to her prolific offensive skills, Clark became the first player in Campbell

women’s soccer history to earn Big South Attacking Player of the Year.

Three players made the all-tournament team, including Clark. Joining her were fellow seniors, Lawson and Cydney Smith.

Six players earned allconference honors. Clark and Ormsby made first-team all-conference, while both Wratchford and Connors earned a spot on the honorable mention all-conference team. Wratchford and Anna Brantley represented Campbell on the all-freshman team and junior Kine Thorsvik was named to the Big South All-Academic team.

Campbell finished its season with a 14-7-0 overall record and a 7-3-0 conference record.

better than what it could have been somewhere else.”

Having the tournament at Campbell also gives the team home-court advantage, meaning more Campbell fans will be able to come out.

“Three years ago, I never thought this would happen,” said senior Casey Perrin. “This brings us that much closer to winning. I think this will draw in even more fans. What will make things better is having a winning season to go into.”

Campbell has hosted tournaments like softball before, but an event this big will bring in more opportunities for Campbell to host many more.

“Baseball should be here, but there are some facilities that need more work done,” Roller said. “Once the conference sees how much work there is

being put in, things will definitely change.”

Whether Campbell was hosting or not, Men’s Basketball’s goal was to earn a bye in the tournament, meaning to rank in the Top 5.

“I’m excited about the opportunity to coach our team this year,” McGeehan said.

“I feel like the team will be even better this season. I think showing the guys the amazing commitment that the university has to have this even happen for us, lets the guys know that they can’t have any off days when everyone is doing so much for you.”

SAO hosts 2nd pageant Inaugural Miss Campbell steps down

By Rachel Davis Staff Writer

The second annual Miss Campbell pageant, hosted

by Sigma Alpha Omega, crowned Sue Ann Forrest as new reigning queen of Campbell University on Saturday night.

Not only was the pageant a fun event for competitors and audience alike, but the sorority dedicated half of

all proceeds to SAO’s philanthropy, Ovarian Cancer Awareness. The emcee, vice president for admissions Jason Hall, brought the philanthropy to the audience’s attention, informing them where their ticket funds would be making an impact.

The pageant began at 7 p.m., and all nine contestants performed an opening number to “I Had the Time of My Life” by Bill Medley

and Jennifer Warnes. Hall introduced each contestant, before sending them offstage to change for the “Campbell Wear” section of the night.

Each contestant modeled her Campbell spirit attire, showing what she would wear to a Campbell sporting event, club meeting, or in the classroom. They posed for the audience and the six judges, who were representatives from around the Buies

Creek area. Next were the talent competition and the evening gown portions of the night. The contestants wowed the audience with their skills in song, dance, speech. Additionally, there were a couple of unusual acts including Heather Heath, a senior pre-pharmacy major, demonstrating physics experiments, and Razeen Shepard, See pageant, Page 10

Eighth annual Battle of the Bands

By Rachel Davis Staff Writer

The atmosphere in Turner Auditorium was filled with high energy and excitement as bands from around North Carolina competed in Campbell University’s Battle of the Bands on Thursday night.

Five bands competed in the event, which lasted from 8–10 p.m., for a chance to win a $100 dollar gift card and tickets to Campbell’s spring concert.

The acts were diverse and varied, from one-man acoustic performers, to heavy metal. The first band to perform was a heavy metal act called Strength Betrayed, and they started the night off with a bang.

The audience got into the rhythm of the music as the band continued, clapping along and cheering encouragement from their seats.

The night’s theme was classic rock, with participants covering rock songs, or dressing up like

their favorite classic rock performers. Some of the bands were local, but Appalachian State University student RJ Bergman performed a solo acoustic act, which was welcomed by the audience.

The winners of the night were the Cody Hartley Band, who performed a cover of “Don’t Stop Believing’ by Journey, with encouraged audience participation. The entire audience stood and sang along, and the energy in the room

was at a high. Hartley and his fellow band members, including Campbell University students, gave thanks to God for allowing them to perform, and sang NEEDTOBREATHE’s song “Multiplied” as praise.

The last band to play was the Sherman Neckties, and they channeled an early 2000s pop punk sound, which was unlike anything performed thus far in the evening. The band also See bands, Page 11

In case you forgot your table manners

By Taylor Mckaig Staff Writer

The art of dining etiquette seems to be all but lost, especially on a college campus. As we enter the real world, proper manners at the dinner table can be a useful asset in our arsenal of professionalism. The Business school gave students the opportunity to practice these skills last Tuesday night during their annual business etiquette presentation.

The program was facilitated by Campbell alumni Kim Snow, who is a proficient in business etiquette. She explained proper behavior to students while they practiced those skills in real time.

The presentation described etiquette that would seem like common sense: Don’t talk with a mouth full, watch what you say, and place your napkin in your lap. Other rules can be a bit more pestering but you should have a basic understanding of them nonetheless.

“I find etiquette is important in a business setting.

You wouldn’t want your clients, peers, or employers to think you are unprofessional because you lack proper manners,” said Brittany Hilbourn, a senior marketing major.

At your disposal, here are a couple of basic guidelines that will help you

avoid embarrassment in social environments, formal or non-formal.

Do 1. Dress to impress. It may sound superficial, but the way you look makes a huge impression on future employers. That being said, investing in a nice suit or dress may pay off tenfold. Cristina Jacqueline, a third year biology major, thinks that, ”It is important to look presentable and know how to act in all settings; it’s helpful to even take classes on it. I learned from a very young age table etiquette and it had taught me how to behave properly in any situation.”

2. Wait until everyone is served before you start eating. It would be rude to start eating before the host, so it is best to wait until everyone at the table has a plate.

3. Take small bites. Cut your meats into a couple pieces at a time. Kim Snow advises that it is best to “eat around your plate, not one food at a time. Also, Take it slow; you don’t always have to seem like you’re in such a hurry to get through a meal.”

4. Place your utensils in the middle of the plate when finished. Do not place used utensils back onto the table.

Don’t 1. Cell phones: please put them away. Somehow the

notion that it is acceptable to text or take phone calls while dining out is common with people our age. Keep in mind you don’t always need your phone. Try looking at the person you’re eating with and actually engage in faceto-face conversation. Snow insists, “Phones are a big issue for students. Do not answer the phone, do not text, just don’t bring it.”

2. Keep your elbows off of the table. Sitting upright can not only help prevent slouching but can also diminish the desire to place elbows on the dinner table.

3. Reach for items. Reaching for items like salt and pepper is considered rude when you have to extend arms across another person.

Instead, ask politely for things to be passed to you.

Kim Snow also recommends passing both the salt and pepper at the same time.

If you are ever unsure of how to act in a certain situation, watch the people surrounding you and play follow the leader. Snow emphasized that one should come prepared for any event for good measure. “Be prepared.

Know what kind of environment you’re stepping into.

Be prepared for light, pleasant conversation, and try to avoid controversial topics.”

Students had the opportunity to learn the proper way to behave in a formal dining situation, as they will need to know how to act when dining in a business setting.

For BADM 236 students: in case you missed the first etiquette dinner, there will be a second presention on Thursday, November 12 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. It will be held in the Alumni room of Marshbanks.

Lottie Dottie: Local jewelry for the classy camel

By Kaitlyn Dixon Staff Writer

Suzanne Royal, the creator of Lottie Dottie custom and Heirloom Jewelry, has come a very long way with her jewelry.

Royal has been in the jewelry business for nearly 15 years. It all began when her son, Chess, became interested in being in the business world.

Chess was homeschooled by Royal and was taught the ins and outs of owning a business through working in our local Creek Coffee located on campus in the same shopping center as Subway, and Impressa Boutique. Not only do they sell a wide variety of coffee, but the ideas of Royal’s Campbell

jewelry is sold in there as well.

Royal has had a part in making the Campbell Camel earrings, but the acrylic jewelry that is found in Creek Coffee is custom made for her, and sold. Royal felt that there was not enough Campbell jewelry therefore, decided to have it made and sold at Chess’s business, which is in no better place than on the outskirts of Campbell’s campus.

“I frequently go by Creek Coffee to pick up one of my favorites, the Frozen Creek Mocha. I have seen the jewelry in there and thought that it was not only a great idea to have other items being sold at the coffee house, but most importantly Campbell jewelry,” said

Lesley Rogers, a sophomore Trust and Wealth Management major. “There is not enough ‘Camel’ jewelry sold really anywhere, so we could definitely use some to accessorize at the Campbell sporting events.”

Not only is the jewelry seen in Creek Coffee, but it is sometimes featured at the Fighting Camels football games, and hopefully at the upcoming basketball games.

Lottie Dottie custom jewelry can also be found at private jewelry shows, as well as Ladybugs in the Attic which is located in Dunn, NC. The jewelry seen in Ladybugs in the Attic is vintage, but recreated to make it look more like modern jewelry seen today.

a junior pre-pharmacy major, performing an elaborate jump rope routine.

Last was the interview question, and each contestant was asked a question to demonstrate their quick thinking.

These questions ranged from somewhat humorous (What are you looking for in a man?), to more political in nature (Do you think America is ready for a female president?) but each girl answered with grace.

In the end, all nine girls were given a medallion to symbolize their participation in the competition. Some special awards were also Emily Phipps, a freshman math major who performed a clogging routine to “Hand Jive,” was presented with the talent award. Elise Karriker, a freshman from Greenville, North Carolina, earned the

Miss Campbell Spirit Award.

Sue Ann Forrest, a senior Communications and English double major, received both the interview reward and the Miss Congeniality award, and Halee Ann Simpson, a sophomore from Fayetteville, North Carolina, received the award for most sponsorship money raised.

No matter who won Miss Campbell, it was clear that the girls were brought closer together by the experience.

“Everyone has been so nice,” said Sue Ann Forrest. “Everyone has been very friendly, sharing their things, if I ask for a bobby pin there will be nine girls offering me a whole handful.”

After the plaques were awarded, it was time to crown Miss Campbell University 2016. Drawing out the suspense, Hall read the names

of the first, second, and third runners up. Halee Simpson was the third place runner up and presented with an orange trophy. Taking the spot next to her as the second place runner up was Elise Karriker, and Emily Phipps was the first runner up.

Each girl waited with baited breath for Miss Campbell 2016 to be finally announced, and the title was presented to Sue Ann Forrest. Chelsey Bennet presented Forrest with her crown and sash, relinquishing her title.

“Take a breath, this year is about to be a whirlwind,” Bennet advised Forrest in her final speech as Miss Campbell. “Take time to enjoy every minute, it’ll be over before you know it! Represent Campbell to the best of your abilities and never forget how valuable you are to the university.”

While each contestant brought unique skills to put toward representing Campbell, Sue Ann Forrest came forth as the most well-rounded to serve as this year’s Miss Campbell.

Before the Battle of the Bands, Campbell’s Campus Activities Board handed out coupons for free beanies, which students could redeem at the end of the show. The beanies were gray, with “Battle of the Bands” emblazoned across the front. As students left

the event that night, a sea of gray beanies and satisfied faces spilled out of Turner Auditorium.

“I loved the Battle of the Bands,” said freshman graphic design major Dia Huth. “I hope that we do it again, it was a great event.”

This is Campbell University’s eighth annual Battle of the Bands, but if student feedback is any indication, it will not be their last.

So far the practices have been a learning experience and foundation on building stronger team chemistry.

“The team chemistry is good and can get better. It’s the best since I have been here, and really feel like the

tournament in Europe we participated in over the summer brought the players closer together,” said McGeehan.

“Also, we have a hand full of vocal leaders on this roster.”

It seems as though the team has worked hard and came together as one cohesive unit for the same goal. Players have built trust in their coaches and teammates and

Although some players have certain roles on the team, they still seek out ways to improve and help the team.

“The main things I have learned from Casey Perrin was to never second guess myself, and from Troy Harper I learned to always drive strong,” said Hamer.

“Ray taught me patience,

and Clemons taught me to shoot instead of always driving to the basketball. It’s good to have all these pointers to help me coming from people that play the same position because we see the game differently.”

Expectations are high for the men’s basketball team and they have a confidence bounce due to the 4-0 record

in the Europe tournament.

“I expect us to be a good team on both ends of the floor, more importantly on the defensive end,” said Hammer. “If we score, we might win. If they never score, then we never lose; the defense wins.”

Last-minute INT stops Campbell comeback in SD SAN DIEGO, CA – Down 31-27 and looking for the goahead score, Campbell held a first and goal with 1:10 remaining after a San Diego personal foul, but Jamal Agnew intercepted Kameron Bryant’s pass to preserve the Torero lead and extend their home Pioneer Football League winning streak to 22 games.

Campbell dipped to 5-5 on the season and 3-4 in PFL play.

Campbell forced a USD punt with 2:20 on the clock, with Greg Milhouse coming up with a sack on third and eight from the 50 yard line. The Camels picked up first downs on its first three plays of the critical drive, with Bryant completing a 10 yard pass to Ben Bolling and a 26 yard strike to Andre Davis, also running for a 12 yard gain before the face mask call put the Camels inside the USD 10.

Q&A with junior golfer Nadine White

By Matthew Sokol Sports Editor

Nadine White, a junior on the Campbell women’s golf team, has earned the Big South Conference Women’s Golfer of the Week honor twice this season. At the Fighting Camel Fall Classic on Oct. 20, White finished as the runner-up for the second-straight year. White took some time to talk more about herself and life off the course with the Campbell Times recently:

Q: With golf being a mental sport, how do you prepare yourself for a round?

I think getting enough sleep is important, and you aren’t always there on the course.

You switch on and off between shots. You sometimes talk to your playing partners or you can talk to your coach, or take time to eat. I am not always mentally there on the golf course, but I think when you get to your ball, is the time when you switch on. After your shot, then you switch off.

Q: What professional golfers do you idolize?

I think being Australian, the Australian golfers like Karrie Webb and Adam Scott were people I looked up to while I was playing and growing up.

They came and played over here, which is something I want to do.

Q: What is your favorite place to eat on campus and why?

Subway is definitely a regular place for me because of the fresh sandwiches which are See White, Page 10
