Potential tragedy alarms UT, UNT communities Shooter takes own life on sixth floor of UT library BY ERIC JOHNSON Editor-in-Chief

For t y-four yea rs a f ter 14 people were shot and killed from the University of Texas clock tower, bullets from an A K-47 were randomly f ired f rom a m a s ke d g u n m a n, Colton Tooley, outside t he Perry-Castaneda Library on the UT-Austin campus. U T f resh ma n A nd rew McWaters walked some 100 feet i n f ront of Tooley, a 19-year-old math major, as he began firing shots. McWaters ran to safety inside the auditorium next to the library. McWaters watched out the window as Tooley walked by the window, smiled and waved at him and his girlfriend. Less t ha n a n hour later, Tooley took his own life after barricading himself inside a room on the sixth f loor of the library. Within five minutes of those first shots, McWaters said, he received a text message from the university, a swift action he said could have prevented a tragedy. “If he had been shooting to k i l l, t he fact t hat t hey reacted so fast cou ld have saved hu nd red s of l ives,” McWaters sa id. “It took no more than five minutes for that news to be plastered all over Facebook, Tw itter and our cell phones.” The UT police department put the campus on lockdown w it h i n 20 m i nutes of t he initial shots. The lockdown lasted nearly six hours, UT junior Forrest Wilkinson said. U T Pol ice C h ief Rober t Da h lst rom sa id i n a press conference less than an hour a f ter t he f irst repor ts of a shooter that they suspected there was a second shooter on campus. The police department was cautious in lifting the lockdow n unt i l it cou ld elim inate the possibility of another suspect, Dahlstrom told the Austin American Statesman.

Authorities said they were st i l l u nsu re of t he mot ive behind the shooting. There was a sense of relief among students as everything settled, Wilkinson said. “Now that it’s over, it’s really a small miracle that we are all safe,” Wilkinson said. “There’s always the risk that someone could smuggle a weapon onto campus. Luckily no one was hurt because the police and the university responded so quickly and thoroughly.” T he Un iversit y of Tex a s requires all students to have a cell phone or e-mail on file to alert them in case of emergency, Wilkinson said. The rapid reaction by UT pol ice a nd ad m i n ist rat ion should be a blueprint for all other universities, McWaters said. “You a lways hea r about these things and think that it could never happen to me,” McWaters said. “People need to realize that you always have to be prepared for something like this. It still feels like a dream, but the way that this was handled minimized harm to students. Universities have to be involved w it h socia l media and keep up-to-date w it h te c h nolog y to ke ep students safe.” St udent s i n t he UN T community echo that sentiment. Pol it ic a l sc ienc e sen ior Michael Galvan said that even though Austin is hours away, the incident still hits close to home. “I was pretty freaked out all day,” Galvan said. “Hearing one of my f r iends is l itera lly hundreds of feet away from a shooting brings it all into focus and shows us how quickly things can change.” Medical technology sophomore Corey Henson said the use of text messages by UT is something that UNT should implement in its emergency plans. “We always have our phones on us,” Henson said. “It’s their job to alert us immediately so we don’t blindly walk into a situation that could be potentially dangerous.” UNT has not faced the same kind of tragedy as UT in the past, but it does have an emergency action plan.

Information, speed important to responding to crises

The rapid dissemination of information is something that allowed UT to take action against the shooter quickly, Tapia said. Ed Reynolds, the deputy chief of the UNT Police Department, said it is critical to get accurate information out quickly so that officials can react. The officers at UNT have been specially trained to deal with a potential active shooter incident, he said. “Our police officers are trained to deal with situations like this,” he said. “We do training [every year] specifically dealing with an active shooter.” PHOTO COURTESY OF THE AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN It is important for students to join the Eagle Alert System and for and respond to emergencies relies on phone calls, e-mails and keep their information updated, that could happen at any given text messages to inform students, Reynolds said. works with warning sirens and The system can be accessed at time. “There are a number of accom- loud speakers in some of the unt.edu/eaglealert and informapanying procedures attached buildings to provide information, such as e-mail addresses and phone numbers, can be registered with the emergency manage- tion, Tapia said.

Construction on the new North Texas Mean Green football stadium pushes ahead to meet the fall 2011 deadline. Although the new stadium will seat fewer people than the previous football stadium, Fouts Field, it will be home to many new features, such as 21 luxury suites, expanded concessions, an in-stadium spirit and athletic wear store, and a giant video screen. Members of the UNT Sports Marketing Association toured the construction site Tuesday and met with athletic director Rick Villareal. The stadium strives to uphold UNT’s environmental goals and commitment to a sustainable campus with the plans to be the nation’s first college football stadium to be awarded the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. This new stadium is part of many efforts to create a better athletics program at UNT.

Denton stays at risk level three for West Nile By Danielle Bice Intern

After a sample of mosquitoes near Unicorn Lake tested positive for West Nile virus, Denton went on Risk Level 3 of the Mosquito Surveillance and Response Plan. The test was performed Aug. 18 and the Risk Level 3 was effective Sept. 2. “Risk Level 3 means we’ve had a positive response,” said David Hunter, who works in the department of sustainability and environmental quality. “It also means it’s a public health concern.” Hunter is the manager of the watershed protection and industrial pretreatment for the department. Ever since the West Nile virus outbreak in the U.S. in the early 2000s, there have been positive samples of West Nile at different risk levels in mosquitoes every year. However, this is a rare time of year for the city to be at such a high level. “It was kind of interesting that we received a positive response when we did because normally we expect to see things starting to finish up, so to speak, at this time of year,” Hunter said. Generally, mosquito samples are taken when the weather starts to warm up from the winter until the weather cools off around fall. “We may sample a bit longer if it’s a little bit warmer because there will still be mosquitoes out,” Hunter said. “That’s typically what dictates some of the protocols.” There are five risk levels

in Denton. At Risk Level 3, the department focuses on informing residents about protecting themselves and the symptoms of the West Nile virus, which include headache, high fever, neck stiffness and

that the virus was present in the area and therefore have not taken protective measures. “[I will take precautions] if there’s more information out there that can help us be more aware of what we need to do

“Normally we expect to see things starting to finish up, so to speak, at this time of year.”

disorientation. “We do a lot more public education and then we try to talk about things like source reduction,” Hunter said. “We also tell people what disease symptoms to look for. “We do have a program where our department will give residents larvicide, and people who have standing water can actually use that to kill juvenile mosquitoes before they become adults.” Although the possibility of human outbreak is low to moderate, residents are encouraged to take safety precautions. “Wear protective clothing, apply repellents, and if there are any small stands of water around their immediate area, we want them to try to make sure to manage those stands because that’s where mosquitoes are probably going to be,” Hunter said. Some residents were unaware

in this situation,” said Latoya Blair, an international studies junior. Although not all residents were aware of the situation, some already take safety precaut ions aga i nst t he insects. “I go kayaking pretty much every weekend, so I always have bug spray with me,” said Ashlee Langle, a geography senior. “Every time I go outside, I use it.” The water utilities department performs the mosquito sample tests, but it is also in contact with the Denton County Health Department and the state to decide what the risk level is. “We will leave it at [Risk Level 3] until our next sampling session, and then we’ll talk to ... people and decide if we want to lower it,” Hunter said. “It’s not just going to be a time thing.” For more information, visit www.cityofdenton.com.

Honor society focuses on Banned Books Week Students, employees talk about controversial literature By Jacqueline Flusche & loryn Thompson Staff Writer & Intern

Think for yourself and let others do the same. That is the slogan for Banned Books Week 2010, which began Saturday. Book lovers across campus gathered from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday at the gazebo on the Library Mall for the second annual Banned Books Read-Out. “I think the only reason schools should ban books is if there’s something explicit in it that a younger audience shouldn’t read,” said Stephanie McDowel l, a pre-Eng l ish junior,. The Tau Delta chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the international English honor society, spon s ore d t he e vent to commemorate Banned Books Week. Banned Books Week is from Sept. 25 to Oct. 2 annually and is sponsored by the American Library Association to celebrate “the freedom to read and the importance of the

First Amendment,” according to the website. D u r i ng t he Re ad- O ut , undergraduate and graduate students, librarians and faculty members from the English and public administration departments read excerpts from their favorite banned or challenged books. Some of these books included “1984” by George Orwell, “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee and “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll. “A book is cha l lenged when someone submits a formal request to remove it from public or school library shelves or from school reading lists and classroom use,” said April Kendra of the English faculty, who is a sponsor for the society. “If the challenge is upheld and the book is removed, it becomes a banned book.” Much of the time, books are challenged to protect children from content that might be inappropriate, such as sexual content or language, according to t he A mer ica n L ibra r y Association website. Over the past 15 years, the number of challenges that the association has on record averages to 528 reports per year. The majority of the reports focus on sexually explicit content. “It’s mainly parents who

want to have a say in what the kids are reading,” Kendra said. “It’s never a representative from the age group speaking out. It’s really about what kids read.” Kendra passed out bookmarks to the audience. The bookmarks show a line of robots connected to USB devices with one robot breaking away to read a book. McDowell participated by reading “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” Books shouldn’t be banned, except in special cases in which the action may be acceptable, like to protect children. In add it ion to read i ng excerpts from various banned or challenged books, time was taken to honor the recently deceased Scott Simpk ins, a professor of the English department from 1989 to this semester. At noon, a moment of silence was observed in his memory, and from 3 to 4 p.m. audience members were allowed to speak about him. “The only thing I have to say is to keep reading,” said Doug Campbell, a Willis librarian and graduate student. “My philosophy as a librarian: Pick something you like to read and read it, whether it’s banned or not.” For more information about Banned Books Week, v isit www.ala.org/bbooks.

College students give their definition of activism B Y NICOLE L ANDRY Contributing Writer

Dating back to t he civ il rights movement in the ‘60s and the anti-war protests in the ‘70s, college students have rarely had a problem showing t hei r suppor t for va r ious causes. Students wa lk ing across U N T’s c a mpu s c a n f i nd themselves face to face with a collection of activist groups, cause supporters and awareness raisers any day of the week. “Activism is advancing one’s beliefs,” said Clint Townsend, an economics and political science junior and president of UNT’s Young Americans for Liberty. “It’s promoting an awareness of injustices towards a large number of people.” College students appear to be more active than the rest of society because “it’s fun to tell your side and your views,” Townsend said. Laura Lamb, an anthropology junior and co-founder of the Denton chapter of the

Campaign to End the Death Penalty, agrees. “College students are definitely more inclined to be involved in creating change in the world we live in,” she said. Lamb said she believes the definition of activism is always changing because the world is always changing. Sometimes it takes discourse or even revolutionary settings to see change occur, she said. Various forms of activism are civil disobedience, organizing protests and attending ma rches or ra l l ies, La mb said. “W het her it’s t he IraqiPalestinian conflict, the antideath penalty movement or GLBT rights, students a re getting the most involved in finding an alternative,” she said. Townsend said he believes civil rights and liberties are the “hot button topics” that this generation is focusing on, due to the recent debates over things like immigration laws and gay rights.

Though there may be some negative criticism from time to time, Townsend said the best part of being in an activist g roup is get t i ng to k now people who share your views and getting people to see the other side of issues. “A dialogue is very important to share ideas,” he said. “The spreading of knowledge is very important.” Townsend said the Banned Book reading, which occurred in Willis Library yesterday, was a form of activism because it was designed to bring awareness to an injustice. He said he believes that even if someone is not constantly in the public eye promoting a cause, people who act publicly once will always have that feeling of support and care. Connie Cha n, a n entrepreneurship junior, said she thinks the university should prov ide more out let s for students to advocate their beliefs. “Sure, we have t he f ree speech areas, but there are still some rules attached to

The DEFiNiTiON dance team held tryouts last Wednesday in Crumley Hall.

One in three seniors will major in the same field that they started in. It’s estimated that undergraduates will change their major four to five times before reaching a permanent decision, said Lisa Maxwell, a senior academic counselor for the College of Arts and Sciences. Many of the more than 1,000 undecided UNT students are seeking assistance to help them find a major. The advisers from CAS have compiled a few helpful courses and activities for undeclared students, Maxwell said. “St udents have severa l options available to them,” she said. “We have a freshman seminar class which is designed for students who are undecided.” Other programs, like Road Trip Nation, allow students to shadow a professional for the day. Students can set up interviews and learn from experts. Afterward, they will come back and present their experiences to the class about what they learned, Maxwell said. Students can also join student orga nizations to exa mine personal interests. “When I was undeclared I went to advisers, but I also used student organizations and clubs to help determine the direction I wanted to go in,” said Misti Day, a general studies senior. While some students have

no idea what career they want to pursue, others used the career courses, like UCRS 2300, to solidify their decision in a specific study. “My freshman year, I took a bunch of intro classes including Intro to Nutrition,” said Alli Clearly, a nutrition junior. “I was always interested in nutrition, but wanted to make sure that it was the right field for me. But after I took the course, I was like, ‘OK, this is what I really want to do.’” Sometimes students have a general idea about what they want to do, but haven’t committed to a subject, Maxwell said. “Sometimes it’s best to start out undeclared to avoid major hopping,” she said. “A lot of the times when undergraduates do the research they will stick with their major.” Maxwell said it’s important to use the campus as a tool to explore various career paths. She wants students to know that there are multiple things they can do with their degree that are even outside their specified field. “Students have a lot of different resources. You should take the time to research your interest, just like you would a term paper,” she said. “Your degree opens many doors and you have many different things you can look into with it.”

Theatre department begins season with tribute CHRISTINA MLYNSKI Senior Staff Writer

This year marks the 90th anniversary of the women’s suffrage movement. The department of dance and theatre chose to pay homage by kicking off the fall 2010-2011 season with “The Little Foxes,” a psychological thriller created by Lillian Hellman. The first performance is at 8 p.m. on Thursday at the University Theatre in the Radio, TV, Film & Performing Arts Building. Tickets are $7.50 for students, staff and faculty and $10 for the public. Tickets can be purchased from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday at the box office. “This is an exciting piece of theater that really involves the audience from all different points of view,” said Andrew Harris, director and associate professor of theatre. Hellman was one of America’s most prominent female play writers in the 1930s. She was known for compelling characters and crafting plays with timeless themes, Harris said. “Although it was written 70 years ago, it could have been written yesterday,” he said. Harris wanted to recreate a play with a strong female character who struggles with issues

of morality and materialism. “We’re just coming out of the recession and what people are willing to do for money or satisfy their onerous needs is very pertinent today,” he said. “The Little Foxes” focuses on the Hubbards, a money and power-driven family, who develop a get-rich-scheme during the industrialization of the South, Harris said. “It refers to people either getting what they want or people who stand around and watch,” said Connie Parker, a theatre junior who plays the role of Regina Giddens. “It’s not how people should be, but money and power bring corruption.” The play has themes of deviousness, dysfunction, selfishness and manipulation, Harris said. “The play is disturbing and leaves the audience with a big question as to what is going to happen after the play ends,” he said. Students manage the play both in front of an audience and behind the scenes, Harris said. “We look for not only cultural and historical significance, but if the play provides good roles for students,” he said. “‘The Little Foxes’ executes all of these things very well.”

In a time of family turmoil, Birdie Hubbard (played by theatre arts senior Margaret Smith) and Horace Giddens (played by theatre arts junior Brian Hill) share stories and memories with each other, reminiscing about the past. The show debuts Thursday. Student actors are faced with challenging roles, testing their talents, Harris said. “This is my first lead role so it’s been really taxing emotionally, mentally and physically, but it’s worth it,” Parker said. “The Little Foxes” takes place over three months, emphasizing the “cat and mouse game” of relationships, Harris said.

“These characters have their own intended path,” said Eric Orman, a theatre junior who plays the role of Leo Hubbard. “I have to remind myself that they aren’t actually real people.” Cast members agree “The Little Foxes” helped them personally grow. They expect to provide the same experience for attendees.

Students use Facebook as virtual arcade DAISY SILOS Intern

Many students are using Facebook as a virtual arcade as well as to a social networking site. Farmville, Sorority Life and Mafia Wars are among the top 25 most popular games on Facebook, according to insidesocialgames.com. Restaurant City, a game that lets you own and run your own restaurant, ranks at number 13. “Restaurant City is the coolest, I’ve been playing since October of last year, it’s the main reason I log on; I don’t even talk to people when I log on anymore,” said Rianna Babb, a journalism junior. Players can also decorate their restaurant, create a menu and hire friends to work as waiters and chefs. “My friend Violet introduced me to it and she was way ahead of me, but I kept playing and playing that I’m actually way ahead of her now,” she said. To advance in the game,

participants must return on a regular basis to receive certain rewards that help run the restaurant smoothly, causing the game to become addicting. “I spent some months over the summer that I had no Internet and I just couldn’t stand knowing I was missing out on a new ingredient each day,” Babb said. Another popular game on Facebook is Bejeweled Blitz, which asks players to match three jewels horizontally or vertically in no more than a minute. Anna Cha, a hospitalit y management sophomore, said she feels she is addicted to the game. “It’s like a minute each game and I think that’s why I got addicted because I would tell myself, ‘Oh, it’s just one more minute’ and tried beating my previous score, then next thing you know, that one minute turned into 30,” Cha said. People can buy Facebook gift cards good for gaming credits at Target and 7-11 locations and can be used for more than 150 Facebook games. “I wouldn’t actually pay to play the games, but if I got a gift card, I would use it, I mean it is money,” Cha said. Some students like Avery Davis, a merchandising sophomore, don’t play online games on Facebook. “I don’t understand how some people can get so addicted to those games, it’s insane,” she said.

Women’s golf team captures second-straight title BY BOBBY LEWIS Staff Writer

After a long final day on the course, the Mean Green women’s golf team is now a perfect two-for-two in tournaments this season as it took the Rose City Invitational title on Tuesday night. After the first day of the tournament, the Mean Green was tied for first place with Oregon State. UNT also posted the low round of the day, shooting a 295 in the first round. Junior Kelsey Kipp once again led the way for UNT, shooting a 1-over par 145 on the day. Kipp was alone in third place when the day was over, just two strokes off of the lead. Nonetheless, Kipp didn’t seem satisfied after the team’s success in the first two rounds. “The short game and putting and just getting up and down more is what we need to focus on and we’ll go out there and take it,” Kipp said. “We’ll win.”

“It was just a tremendously exciting day for the Mean Green. I couldn’t be prouder of these young ladies. They’ve worked really hard.”

—Jeff Mitchell Head women’s golf coach

K ipp was not t he on ly member of the Mean Green to be in the top six, as she was joined by junior Addison Long, who shot a 149 for a sixth-place tie. Although the team had great success, the Mean Green had not played on the course at all prior to the tournament. That alone is something all five women should take pride in, head coach Jeff Mitchell said. “We’re playing on a golf course that no one on the team had seen before and it shows a lot about how hard we’ve been working and how good their

attitudes have been,” Mitchell said. “We had a lot of confidence going into this tournament and it’s really showing.” Another cause for concern was the weather - but sunny, clear skies and light winds on Monday did not affect the team at all. The final day of the tournament brought nothing but success for UNT. “It was just a t remendously exciting day for the Mean Green,” Mitchell said. “I couldn’t be prouder of these young ladies. They’ve just worked really hard.”

Kipp shot a 2-under par 70 in the final round to pull even with the individual leader, Oregon State junior Whitney French, to force a 12-hole playoff that Kipp eventually won. UNT had the tournament wrapped up, regardless of the outcome of the playoff. “I’m so proud of [the team],” Kipp said. “I think it’s just the momentum has now carried over. It’s a huge boost of confidence.” Long was right behind Kipp, finishing tied for seventh. Overa ll, UNT placed four golfers in the top 20. T he v ictor y ma rk s t he first time since the 2004-05 season that the team has had multiple tournament wins in one season. “It’s really exciting when you want to go out and practice and you see the fruits of your labor and I promise you this team can’t wait to go to the next tournament,” Mitchell said.

Gorman’s Grumbles: Mean Green folding under pressure Opinion BY SEAN GORMAN Senior Staff Writer

In the world of sports there is a list of qualities that a team must have if it’s going to succeed. Some of these attributes include talent, hard work and a smart scheme made to fit the team’s strengths. In rare cases teams can get away with winning a championship without all three of these qualities, but there are two traits that teams cannot lack if they want to win: confidence and poise under pressure when it matters most. This truth is evident in all sports: The Lakers outhustled the Celtics in the final moments of the NBA Finals to win, Saints cornerback Tracy Porter’s interception during crunch time in the Super Bowl sealed the deal and Duke’s championship was earned in the last seconds of the final round. Unfortunately, this key part of a championship program hasn’t been seen in the UNT soccer team so far this year. A

Sean Gorman 0-3-1 record in four overtime games is a cause for concern and blowing leads in two of its past two games is a sign as well. This weekend’s loss to Middle Tennessee paints a perfect picture of a possibly disturbing trend that could be developing. The Mean Green seized an early lead, got a man up after a red card and then conceded a goal eight minutes later. The team went on to give up a second goal in overtime, leading to the loss. There is a good chance I am overreacting to a disappointing weekend of play and this issue will not continue. The season is young and UNT has one of the best coaches in the region in John Hedlund, a great leader and motivator who knows the game

and his team very well. That being said, the results speak for themselves. When a team that can score at will fails to secure a goal in key moments of a handful of games, there could be a problem. “We need to work on staying aggressive when playing with a lead,” Hedlund said. “We can’t get lethargic at those points of the game and allow teams back into games.” This problem might actually make perfect sense: the team has only two seniors and may need more experience under its belt before being able to perform its best when it matters most. If the team is looking for ideas about how to play down the stretch, it needs to look no further than another group in the Mean Green sports community. The men’s basketball team won 11 straight games leading to the NCAA Tournament and won countless close games, showing how important it is to bring your “A” game when the season is on the line. If the soccer team wants to replicate the kind of success Johnny Jones and company

had last season it will have to play better in close, meaningful games at home and on the road.

I don’t doubt our soccer team’s talent, depth or scheme, but I am admittedly uneasy about its poise. If this club wants to return

to the NCAA Tournament, it must make strides and compete at a top level in this season’s most important moments.

UNT should follow UT’s example Editorial On Tuesday morning, tens of thousands of students at the University of Texas woke up to terrifying news that a student had fired four shots on campus, then killed himself after being chased into the Perry-Castaneda Library at UT. Colton Tooley, a 19-year old student, was alone as he entered the building carrying an AK-47 assault rifle. He barred himself in a backroom and eventually shot himself. Dressed in all black and a ski mask, Tooley began firing shots, which raised immediate red flags to students who called the police, causing the campus to be locked down and the gunman cornered. The situation could have been far worse. The Editorial Board thinks it is time for UNT to require registration on the Eagle Alert system so that it reaches all students, faculty and staff to allow more communication in case of an emergency. UT and Austin’s fast response was widely praised, and can only leave one to wonder if UNT and Denton would respond as quickly. UT sent off a text message to all registered students, faculty and staff, something UNT needs to make sure would happen in a crisis. UNT recently instituted an Emergency Management Plan, an outline of procedures set up to respond if a similar crisis occurred here. Through a variety of resources such as Eagle Alert, an on-campus police force and a siren system, UNT asserts it is prepared. Eagle Alert, a system set up to send e-mails, texts and phone calls is in place. The administration recommends all students, faculty and staff sign up, but it’s not mandatory. So that all students are accurately informed in the case of a crisis, signing up for Eagle Alert needs to be required class for registration, and communication needs to be better expressed to students through faculty during class. After the tragic shootings on the UT campus in 1966, it’s fair to say the school was better prepared for any major emergencies, which is likely the reason for the quick and prompt response. Its quick reaction would have limited damage if the situation turned worse. UNT has an extensive system of sirens that are used for an emergency — but the sirens are tested so often many students ignore them when they go off. The Editorial Board is also calling for a potential campus-wide crisis drill. With the continued growth of violence in schools, the university needs to adapt and teach students how to deal with a potential crisis hands-on. Possibly through the use of Eagle Alert and better education of how to react in the midst of a crisis, the university would be able to communicate and teach students how to protect themselves in a tragedy. To register for Eagle Alert, log in to MyUNT, go to Student Center, click Update Eagle Alert and fill in the proper information.

Don’t let college interfere with faith College has been one of the best experiences of my life so far and I am sad to see my time at UNT come to a close. With one more semester to go, I can proudly say that I have accomplished something big: a degree. However, while UNT has so many great things to offer, it can also be a very spiritually dry place. Have you ever tried to plant any type of f lower or vegetable? You can’t just put it in dirt. If you do, the plant will not grow. You have to water it. This makes it f lourish and become bountiful. W hile it is an elementary and juvenile picture, it is similar to that of the Christian faith.

As Christians, too often, we enter college looking forward to academics and new friends. Occasionally, we will forget about our faith. We’ll stop going to church, forget to read our Bible, decide to not join a Bible study, or even a combination of the three. Whatever the case, it can lead us to be spiritually dry. This can have negative effects on believers and I’ve ex perienced it f irst ha nd. W het her we beg in to fa l l into sin, start addictions or abandon God, we become less and less spiritual. It’s a disease and it should be fixed. For the believers in Christ, it’s important to have

some sort of Christian community to surround yourselves with. Join a church, read your Bible, pray, or even join my Bible study! Whatever it may be, pursue Christ with joy. For those who are not believers in Christ, I would encourage you to do the same thing. I believe that you are reading this by the grace of God. As a result, I think it means something for you, too. Paul says it best in Philippians 3:8 when he exclaims: “Indeed, I count ever ything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that

I may gain Christ.” Search, study and find the truth that gives me a joy worth dying for.
