Celebrating New Orleans style By ‘Sade Olajide | MCOM 3130
Celebrating New Orleans style After sending around a petition, the Warner Robins Campus held its first MardiGrasDanceonMar2atOakHall. This event was sponsored by the Office of Student Life and Recreation & Wellness. “Students wanted to have a dance in Warner Robins, so they sent around a petition,” according to Amy Carter, Director of Student Life in Warner Robins. The color schemes for the Mardi Gras dance included, purple, green, blue, and gold. There was also a photo booth to take pictures with masks,
Mardi Gras beads were given to students who flashed their Blue Storm ID cards, and there were King Cakes. King Cakes are a cinnamon- roll shaped cakes with icing and Mardi Gras colored sprinkles. The cake has a small baby Jesus inside and tradition says that anyone who receives the slice with the baby inside of it has rights and duties. There was also a set-up of Mardi Gras cups with mints inside. “I wanted something that would be a fun theme because it is more colorful and stands out,” Carter said. Students didn’t have to pay because this was a school-sponsored event, but the guidelines were that students were allowed one guest per person. The dress code for this particular
occasion was not specific. Students either dressed formally in dresses or tuxes or dressed casually in jeans and a nice shirt. “There were 40-60 students expected to attend, but only 25 showed up,” according to sophomore business major Lesha Brown. The menu for the food refreshments included, mini ham and cheese sandwiches, different types of bread, assorted fruit, cheese and crackers, water, Diet Coke, Coke and tea. Shaun Bohanan, a localWarner Robins DJ, played varieties of music genres such as, pop, old school, and rap. He even played music line dancing music. Line dance song titles included the Wobble, G-Slide, Wop, and Tango.

Prayer conference hopes to inspire
By Amy Lee | News Editor The Luke 18 Project, based out of the International House of Prayer in Kansas City, Mo., hopes to inspire and train young leaders with its sponsored conference that will be held March 23-24 in Cleveland, Tenn. With the ultimate goal of increasing the presence of prayer on college campuses and locations across the globe, the Luke 18 Project, in conjunction with Lee University’s prayer group, Lee Prayer, hopes to encourage development of similar groups throughout the Southeast. Germaine Truesdale, a member of Lee Prayer, said, “We are hoping to build a network of connections from college campus to college campus, to partner with one another, and see another great move of God released in America.” According to Luke 18 Project.com, the organization, “Is a missionary movement that exists to train 10,000 young, pioneering leaders to plant prayer furnaces in the hardest and darkest places of the earth and work with the global Church to finish the task of world evangelization.” The Project seeks to create a generation of spiritual leaders worldwide. The group believes that cities such as New York, Hong Kong, and London have a tremendous influence crossculturally. Training young leaders to implant a “prayer furnace” in these locations, the Luke 18 Project hopes to spread and maintain Christianity across the globe. Registration is $15 per person; however, if a group of more than five people wish to participate, a discounted code may be available by contacting the Lee Prayer group at leeprayer714@gmail.com.

MSC-TV prepares for an upgrade By Liliana Billingsley | MCOM 3131 The consolidation of Macon State College with Middle Georgia College will bring in a larger student body, and therefore, more opportunities for students to get involved in television production at Macon State College Television (MSC TV). Mark Hazen manages MSC TV from a student perspective as a student assistant. He is the assignment editor of MSC TV. His duties include checking out cameras for students, teaching them how to use the cameras, giving students an overview of the editing software, and helping maintain a proper schedule and inventory for MSC TV. Hazen said, “There are some significant changes to be made to MSC TV in terms of how they put their
signal out on campus.” He went on to say, “We are looking to upgrade; we are going to get a new studio. We are going to put some resources into developing a better place for students to shoot newscasts or talk shows or that kind of thing.” “We are going to purchase some new, more modern, upto-date equipment and editing software,” added Hazen. “What we’re trying to do is to identify the technology to be able to broadcast to the different campuses as well.” “MSC TV is a lab at Student Life; it is a facility that is open to all students who care to join Student Media, and it is a place where they can get experience in television as far as video and production.” said Hazen.
“Anybody can join MSC TV; you have to have a 2.5 GPA in order to participate, and you need to fill out a student media application” he said. “When you join you can be trained to use the equipment, even if you don’t have any experience” Hazen added.
”I plan to use my report and broadcast to help me get a job, possibly at a T.V. station.” Allison Boutwell is one of the students who joined MSC TV in January 2011. Boutwell said,” I started as a reporter but they needed an anchor, so I anchored and reported for two semesters, and this semester I’m just reporting.” “I definitely encourage other students to join MSC TV, even if they are not New Media and Communication
(NMAC) majors, because you get involved in activities at school, and you meet important people,” she said. “It is a great way to build confidence and it is just good experience.” said Boutwell. Boutwell said, “On top of reporting and anchoring, I’ve edited all my reports, and done The Ally & Andie Show, which is a day-brief.” “Me and two other students were the ones that produced the broadcast,” she added. “We directed the show, operated the camera, edited, wrote the script, and produced the whole thing between the three of us.” she said. “Since I am an NMAC major, I plan to use my report and broadcast to help me get a job, possibly at a T.V. station, locally or maybe in Atlanta, and pretty much just to help me build my portfolio.” added Boutwell.

The purpose of the lab is to provide the student body with current news about events on campus and the adjacent area of Macon relevant to Macon State College as a whole.

By Kristin Hanlin | Features Editor Well, Spring Break is over. It is the sad, but an obvious truth. Now, students face a challenge more difficult than trying to figure out where to go on vacation— how do we reintroduce ourselves to the lifestyle of a college student after having an entire week of no classes? The majority of students are probably not too thrilled about being back to finish the semester. Though there are only a couple of months left, it can seem like eternity to a student suffering from post-spring-break blues.

While watching this film, viewers learn how Clash got his foothold on the puppet industry and how Elmo came to be one of the most beloved citizens living on Sesame Street. There is a pleasant mix of lighthearted and heart wrenching moments and I am not afraid to admit that I laughed and cried. Viewers of all ages can enjoy this movie. It is a viable way to introduce younger viewers to the commonly unappreciated genre of documentary film.
there is a man controlling Elmo with his hand—so, it’s probably best to watch with children that understand Elmo is only a puppet and not a self-aware individual. “Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey” is available on Netflix, so you have plenty of time to take a trip to Sesame Street and learn about the man who brings a simple red puppet to life.

Pinterest organizes your interests By Kristin Hanlin | Features Editor Students at Macon State College are abuzz with chatter about a new website that allows users to collect a myriad of ideas, inspirational thoughts, recipes, crafting concepts, funny pictures and more in one place. Pinterest is the Internet’s latest sensation. It is “A virtual pin board” that “lets you organize and share all
the beautiful things you find on the web,” according to company’s website. Pinterest boards can be organized in whatever way individuals see fit. Once an individual has a personal Pinterest pinboard, they can post whatever they prefer on as many boards as they want. The website also allows members to follow other people’s boards in order to see what they ‘pin.’ Brittany Pratt, a junior
who is a self-professed lover of the site. He has been using the site for three months. Through this site, Pratt says, “I found tons of recipes, cheap ideas for snacks, different ideas on doing [her] hair and makeup, ways to organize, poses to do for family pictures… and lots of other things.” Students can use this new technology to their advantage in many ways. Pratt has even found help
with classes through the website. “When you type, ‘Help with Elementary Statistics,’ into Google, you get a bunch of websites that paid to be first and aren’t always useful or are not free. On Pinterest you can type in the same thing and find sites that other people have ‘pinned’ because they like the site. Eight out of nine times, it is free!” Pratt said.

By Brea Rockwell | Staff Writer Astrological signs are known as horoscopes. As explained by Crawford and Sullivan in the Power of Birthdays, Stars, & Numbers: The Complete Personology Reference Guide, “Astrological practices are based on a single moment in space and time, making each astrology chart symbolically unique.” Typically, this means that every person was born at a specific time on a specific day during a specific month. All these factors are incorporated into your astrological sign. With each sign comes a personality quality that the person is more than likely to have. For example, look at those students who were born in the month of March. If you were born in the month of Mar.,

One of the most positive Piscean characteristics is their interest for the arts and creativity skills. When wandering around campus, a Pisces will be involved in a project or an artistic endeavor. The actual symbol for Pisces is two fish swimming in opposite directions. This directly symbolizes the duality of their nature because a Pisces usually feels pulled in two different directions.

Discover the atmosphere downtown By Katharine Hall | Opinions Editor Downtown Macon is a unique corridor with a bright and fascinating history which carries the essence of old southern rock with a modern twist of delectable restaurants and music venues such as the Downtown Grill and the Hummingbird Stage and Taproom, respectively. These locations have become my personal favorites throughout the years. Weekends in Macon are jam-packed with delicious dinners, unbeatable drink specials, and extraordinary live entertainment. Tim Oblegoner, General Manager of The Hummingbird State and Taproom, believes
that his bar brings a one of a kind atmosphere to historic Macon. Oblegoner states, “The Hummingbird is enjoying its 8th year of operation in downtown Macon. Having hosted well over 1,000 shows, the ‘Bird’ is arguably the hub for Middle Georgia’s music scene . . . it’s just a fun place to be.” Macon has so much richness that it should be a crime for it to be looked over. Next time before thinking that Macon has nothing to offer, look more closely: try a new restaurant and discover a new band. There really is something for everyone.
