Dr. Jerry M. Wallace has held the title of Campbell President for almost 12 years. Now as he finishes his last semester in the position, he looks forward to what’s next and reflects back on getting to where he is today.

President Wallace reflects before retiring his title

By Sean Neal Editor

In the past 12 years, a lot has changed for Campbell. Within that time, the campus gained a convocation center, the football program returned and new medical programs have been established, to name a few major changes.

As president of Campbell University for the past almost 12 years (it’ll be 12 years on May 29), Dr. Jerry Wallace oversaw all of these new additions and more, and witnessed the lofty implications for Campbell’s growth that came with them. The moments stated above in particular are some of Wallace’s favorites during his time here.

Now, as he announced last April, Wallace will be stepping down from his position as president, officially retiring the title on June 30.

After taking a yearlong sabbatical, Wallace will return to Campbell July 1, 2016, to assume the honorary role and title of university chancellor. As chancellor, he will work in the medical school teaching classes on medical ethics and servant leadership.

Wallace said his reasons for stepping down as president are threefold. Among them that he will be passing on the title to successor Dr. J. Bradley Creed, who will officially become Campbell’s president on July 1.

“Being a Baptist preacher, you always have three points,” Wallace said. “On April 20, I will be 80 years old. Number two; I feel that my work has been accomplished. And number three, I’m very excited about our new president Dr. Creed becoming the fifth president of Campbell.”

Giving the subject more thought,

See BigSURS, Page 6

Wallace adds a fourth reason. “And number four, I’m going to have some time for myself and my family.”

Wallace has worked at Campbell for 45 years. Before becoming president of the University in 2003, Wallace started at Campbell in 1970 as an adjunct professor of sociology. His later titles include chair of the Department of Religion and Philosophy, dean of the College of Arts & Sciences and vice president for academic affairs and provost.

Before Campbell, and before his previous career as a pastor, Wallace spent 19 years as a student in undergraduate and post-undergraduate programs. In college at ECU, Wallace had originally planned to become a lawyer with a double major in English and government.

Campbell University hosted a number of schools within the Big South Conference, among others, on April 10 and 11, as home to the seventh annual Big South Undergraduate Research Symposium.

Showcasing research topics ranging from biology to communication studies, students had the opportunity to share papers and presentations on topics they found interesting.

Presbyterian College, Liberty University, Columbus State University, Virginia Military Institute, Kennesaw State University and UNC-Greensboro are some of the schools that were represented among the students who participated in the event.

Professor Pete Kenny leaves communication studies legacy

By Devin McCray Staff Writer

This year, the Communication Studies department will say goodbye to an instructor who is, as his pupils will attest, “popular with students.”

Professor Pete Kenny, or as his students call him “PK,” has taught in Campbell’s Communication Studies department for about seven years. Among his notable accomplishments at Campbell, Kenny, along with Dr. Dean Farmer, has helped pioneer the department’s Campbell Now! TV programs.

Kenny has taught for 18 years, and See Kenny, Page 7

School of Business receives $250K gift for learning center The Lundy-Fetterman School of Business received a $250,000 gift from First Citizens Bank to support the establishment of a wealth management center that will expand experiential learning and research opportunities for students, faculty and the community.

The Campbell Board of Trustees’ Executive Committee approved the construction and naming of the First Citizens Wealth Management Center on March 25. First Citizens Bank provided the lead gift for the $1 million project.

The new, state-of-the-art center will serve as a learning lab that simulates an investment firm environment, a trading room and a trust center. It will be equipped with the latest tools, technology and data that busi-

ness leaders, commercial banks and financial advisors around the world use.

Student-run free clinic now open to uninsured patients Campbell’s Community Care Clinic announced it is open and ready to see uninsured patients on Tuesday evenings.

During the inaugural year, medical students Daniel Moses, Phillip Deal, James Hooper, Mark Lorenzini, Anthony Parker, Jeffery Pennings and Elizabeth Willis worked diligently throughout their first year of medical school on the business plan for a free clinic and presented the plan to the Dean in the spring of 2014.

Over a year later, the clinic is now open and will serve uninsured residents of Harnett County. Open on Tuesday evenings 5 to 8 p.m., the clinic is located at the Campbell University Health Center at 129 T.T. Lanier St.

Medical school awarded $200K from biotech center The medical school was awarded a $200,000 Institutional Development Grant from the North Carolina Biotechnology Center for the proposal entitled “EMXPlus EPR Free Radical Research Facility.”

A first in nursing for Campbell Last August, Campbell’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing program welcomed its first class of 85 students to its pre-nursing seminar course. The director of the program is Dr. Nancy Duffy, who joined Campbell back in the fall of 2013. Student Donyetta McBride was one of the students enrolled in the seminar. “I loved the nursing seminar, and I wished we had them this semester,” she said.

“It made me want to dive straight into my major.”

No smoking allowed, within 50 feet Back on Oct. 22, Campbell passed a new regulation that requires smoking to take place at least 50 feet from a university building on main campus. The new regulation became effective on Jan. 1. On the Health Sciences campus, the use of all tobacco products is prohibited.

Additionally, no smoking is allowed in all university vehicles and carts.

A week of awareness From Feb. 23 to 27, Campbell University held a Sexual Assault Awareness Week with events throughout the week to raise awareness and educate on the issue of sexual assault. Senior psychology major Drew Taylor helped orchestrate the week’s activities as the SAAW Committee’s student representative. “Sexual Assault Awareness Week is a time to support survivors in our community and come together to break the silence surrounding the issue of sexual assault and violence,” said Taylor.

Mock trial prepares Campbell students for the real world

By Richard Williams Staff Writer

Governed by the American Mock Trial Association (AMTA) is Campbell University’s award-winning Mock Trial team.

The team competes in competitions to provide a realistic court environment for those interested in trial law and the development of related lifelong skills.

Mock trial competitions give students a hands-on experience of what it’s like to be an attorney. Students have the chance to act as lawyers during a pretrial conference, deliver opening statements and closing arguments, and participate in the direct and cross examination of witnesses, while others act as witnesses. Practicing attorneys and judges preside, score and comment on the performance of each student.

“Mock trial is a replica simulation of a trial, comprising both theater and legal elements,” said junior homeland security major Michael Chaney.

Competitions give students the opportunity to compete not only against North Carolina schools but schools from other states as well.

Nearly 600 teams from over 350 universities and colleges compete in AMTA tournaments. In total, AMTA provides a forum for over 5,300 undergraduate students each academic year to engage in mock trial competitions across the country.

“It gives those who have an interest in a future legal profession the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the courtroom setting,” said Chaney.

Law schools look for students who can view a problem from various an-

gles, weigh options, consult effective solutions and communicate those solutions.

Mock trial is intended to help students get there.

“For students, it’s a hands-on learning laboratory introducing them to the legal process,” said senior Dalton Buckner.

Through the hands-on experience, mock trial allows students to become engaged and observe the concepts at work in what are simulations of reality.

Campbell University Mock Trial Captain Ashlyn Rich said, “Public speaking skills are probably the most important skills that are developed through mock trial.” Rich is a senior history pre-law major.

Mock trial teaches students how to think on their feet by engaging in the critical thinking process and preparing for the competition.

“You don’t have to have

legal aspirations or even be on the pre-law track to participate,” said Chaney.

Mock trial’s mission is to equip any and every student with the necessary skills for any professional field. Chaney said it teaches students “professionalism, litigation skills and the ability to work as a team and to pursue individual success.”

Opinion

Turning the page on four years at Campbell

By Sean Neal Editor

If newspapers had titles, this one could easily be called “The Page-Turner.”

Not in the literal sense, although that would work too. I mean in the sense that this issue has not one, but a few stories featuring people who are about to turn the page onto the next chapter in life.

A few short weeks from now, I, along with other members of Campbell’s class of 2015, will walk across a stage; the one that has crossed our minds every now and then over the past four years. By doing so, we too are turning a page.

I’m sure I’m not alone in saying that this past year has given way to a lot of reflection. And stress. I’m sure we’ve had our share of that too.

These past four years here have gone by quickly and I’m thankful for all of my experiences at Campbell.

Looking back, I realize each one has contributed to figuring out who I am as an individual, what I’m good

at, what I’m not good at and what I want to do in life.

While I’m thankful for all of them, I want to talk about a few that have had a particular impact.

Freshman year, my “college experience” was just beginning and I really had no idea Neal what that meant. But that was the year I was hired as a student worker in the Department of Study Abroad, a job I have to this day.

At the time I was an 18-year-old communication studies major, who liked studio art on the side. Yet Study Abroad Director Dr. Donna Waldron hired me to do graphic design work for the department, something I had a vague interest in, but no real experience.

Over the years, working with Study Abroad Coordinator Kendra Erickson, who is probably one of the most encouraging and supportive people I know, I was able develop my skills in the department and

found what I learned to be a practical and fulfilling way to apply my love for art.

I decided to add Graphic Design as an additional major my junior year.

Later on in my junior year, I had my first offcampus internship at The Fayetteville Observer. It was my first encounter with “the real world,” and with it came a real look at journalism, which at times was, as expected, hard work. But talking to so many interesting people, and working with someone who was established in the business, reaffirmed my desire to work in journalism.

College is about trying and experiencing different things, and stepping outside of your comfort zone, in order to learn more about yourself and what you want to do in life.

This year, I tried to venture a little outside of my comfort zone. Mainly, in taking on this position as editor-in-chief. I knew it would be a lot of work, but I’ve learned a lot about myself in working with a (fabulous) group of people

to put together a final product every other week.

Self-reflection aside, this year at the paper has been an amazing experience because of the hard-working staff, and the guidance and dedication of our advisor, Billy Liggett. They have all made it possible for The Campbell Times to turn its own page this year.

And so, I’ve learned that in college it is important to take chances on opportunities and experiences, because you will learn from every one of them. And it’s the only way to learn about who you are and what you want to become.

That has been the lesson of the past four years. Now, the lesson I’m learning is to let go and trust that there is a plan for your future; you just might not know what that is yet. But if you’ve had those experiences to stretch yourself, you’re better guided towards the next step.

Interfaith is the concept of people from different faiths coming together, and properly relating one’s beliefs in a safe environment.

The success of interfaith conversation requires a decent amount of cooperation, an open mind and proper face-to-face communication skills.

I believe that interfaith can be a complicated issue, but it does not necessarily always have to be that way.

The Raleigh area, along with other major cities, are very open-minded, but those feelings need to happen in Buies Creek.

While at Campbell

University, I have received anti-Semitic comments and spiteful jokes from many people at Campbell.

They include my fellow classmates, residents I lived with in my dorm last year and jokes about my religion were even said to my face from a former Campbell resident director. Even my close friends have Sokol sometimes thought that jokes about being Jewish were acceptable. However, they really are not.

Faithe Beam and Louisa Monroe have done a great job within Campus

Ministry by promoting interfaith dialogue around Campbell University and incorporating discussions in Connections classes.

G-Force is a club I took over after former president Jordan Zepher graduated.

Zepher initially started G-Force as a safe-haven for people of all faiths, where they would be able to freely discuss their religion.

Religion-related jokes and hurtful comments do not exemplify the positive interfaith discussion that G-Force promotes.

Such jokes and comments are not only made to Jewish people, but also to people of other faiths, such as Islam. No matter what religion someone believes

Facing interfaith conflicts at Campbell

in, joking about it is not acceptable. Jokes and spiteful comments can be avoided or at least lessened through the proper education on other religions.

The time has come to focus more on ending the hate and preaching acceptance. All three Abrahamic faiths have great similarities with each other, on which people should start to focus more. I hope that one day, students and faculty members at Campbell University will be able to appreciate interfaith and give it more importance.

Another point of view on the Age of Terrorism

By Omar Hourani Staff Writer

What is the first idea that comes to mind when you hear “Islamic State” (IS)? Most seem to deem it a religious phenomenon, where Muslims express their faith by committing acts of violence that are supposedly inherent in the religion.

However, since Islam is a religion that condemns killing as a grave sin, and instead promotes peaceful cohabitation and the Hourani preservation of life, this is doubtful.

Muslim circles around the world condemn IS, claiming that the only thing “Islamic” about them is their name. In a recent speech, President Obama was accurate in claiming that America is not at war with Islam, but instead against the people who have “perverted Islam.” In fact, violence committed in the name of religion (as a twisted façade) is not new throughout history and across various religions.

On the other hand, some believe that IS is a political phenomenon. That is not entirely wrong, since they are growing in areas of government failure / political power vacuums (Iraq, Syria and Libya), establishing their own political system in the meantime.

However, if one closely examines IS and terrorism in general, one would find that it encompasses more complex roots that go beyond religious façades and political actions.

Socioeconomic factors have shaped many events throughout history, from Roman expansion, Catholic Christendom, the Reformation and European colonialism, to the Age of Revolutions.

This Age of Terrorism is no different. President Obama, in the same speech, shed light on some of the

underlying socioeconomic roots of terrorism, linking it to “poverty.” Living in the Middle East, as I have, one would clearly witness these underlying factors.

Even before the chaos, living standards had constantly been deteriorating in Iraq and Syria, as prices and poverty levels soared, while standards of healthcare and education worsened.

Child labor grew rampant, and a common question to ask was what grade-level you reached before dropping out of high school. Coupled with obligatory military conscription, this culminated into a violent-natured, poorly-educated, economically-impoverished generation.

Terrorist groups like IS often take advantage of this desperation to gain recruits. The economic appeal is undoubtedly eminent in the groups’ propaganda, promising prosperity and flaunting their truly exorbitant finances.

Keeping these socioeconomic roots of terrorism in mind, one could take what might be an unexpected step towards a solution to the War on Terror. Traditionally, violence has been the main tactic of war; however, this Age of Terrorism requires more complex tactics, since we are up against an abstract ideology and guerilla warfare, rather than one annihilable standing army.

Therefore, even if violence does allow the political reclamation of IS territory, it would not obliterate the ideology.

Since it sprouts from socioeconomics roots, a sustainable solution to the War on Terror would be socioeconomic.

Improve living standards, education, healthcare and economic prosperity, and one might witness the true downfall of terrorism.

The Campbell Times

Wallace

continued from page 1

His senior year of college, Wallace continued to pursue law all the way through being admitted into law school. But at some point that year, he felt his true calling was the ministry.

“My first feeling that ministry should be my calling was when I was 12 years old,” Wallace said. “…Two courses that I took, really caused reflection. One was in ethics, which was a philosophical ethics. And the other one was a 300 level English course on Milton. Reading ‘Paradise Lost,’ ‘Paradise Regained’ and Milton’s sonnets stirred my spirit.”

Wallace went on to become the pastor of Elizabethtown Baptist Church from 1960 to 1975.

With the changes he has made in his career path, Wallace would advise current students to not be afraid to do the same.

“Be open to change your mind. Be willing to change your mind,” he said. “Life’s experiences progressively define our calling.”

Wallace’s calling eventually led him to his position as the president of Campbell University.

During his 12 years as president, Wallace has seen a lot of growth at Campbell, of which he said he is “Campbell proud.”

While some of his favorite memories as president include seeing Campbell’s physical transformation and the establishment of the health science programs, one favorite might be more surprising.

“You’ll laugh at this,” Wallace said. “Seeing the roundabouts [and crosswalks] come to Campbell. [Seeing] all those power lines that had to be removed.”

Things you might not know about Dr. Wallace • Two of Wallace’s favorite productions that Campbell’s Theatre department has put on are “Fiddler on the Roof” and “The Sound of Music.”

• According to Wallace’s Administrative Assistant Judy Robbins, Wallace is a coffee person, but prefers Diet Coke or water in the afternoon.

• He hopes to see 3,600 undergraduates on campus by 2025

Following the transition out of his position as president, Wallace will take a yearlong sabbatical, during which he’d like to spend time with his three children and five grandchildren, and also spend time researching and studying for his new teaching responsibilities.

“I’ve been privileged to travel a lot, by way of going to Malaysia. I’ve seen a lot of the world. Travel is not a big thing for me,” Wallace said. “I want to enjoy my children more, my grandchildren…Above all else, [I want to spend] more time with Betty, my wife. [I want to] be able to enjoy a less structured life, sort of go with the flow.”

Upon his return to Campbell following his sabbatical, Wallace will take on his new position, in a new office, as university chancellor. Of his time at Campbell up to this page turning point in his life, Wallace said he is grateful.

“The privilege of serving Campbell for 45 years is a unique blessing for which I’m very grateful,” he said, “and the biggest honor and challenge of my life has been the last 12 years serving as president.”

Four Questions with Judy Robbins

Administrative Assistant to the President CT: How long have you worked as Dr. Wallace’s Administrative Assistant?

Robbins: [A little over] 6 years.

What has it been like working with Dr. Wallace?

It has been wonderful.

I look forward to going to work every morning. It is such a unique experience to see Dr. Wallace lead the University on a day to day basis. What’s surprised me most is how much time he spends traveling and orchestrating in all the new programs for the University.

Do you have any stories that have spoken to Dr. Wallace’s character?

We have students who go on mission trips who write to Dr. Wallace. Dr. Wallace responds in each case with

support. He has a kind heart.

What is a typical day like?

[Wallace] comes in and I’ll say good morning, and I always get, ‘How are you today’ and he says he’s blessed, and I say, “Yes, I’m blessed too.” He passes my desk and goes into his office, and I usually get him a cup of coffee, then we start on our different projects…He usually has meetings or visitors pretty much every day, or he’s on the road visiting different alumni, trustees and friends of Campbell.

I do not know what Dr. Wallace did before campus had Chick-fil-A. Almost every day he is on campus he has the grilled Chick-fil-A sandwich.

dents to present papers with students from other institutions, and so you get an opportunity to gauge yourself against competition from other universities, see different methods of research, have different professors ask you questions. So it’s a real intercollegiate aspect,” said Dr. Salvatore Mercogliano, assistant professor of history at Campbell and a member of the BigSURS Advisory Committee.

“Students get together after the sessions and have an opportunity to talk. They talk about their research, professors, what their colleges are like and perspectives for graduation.”

Kaylyn Jones, a freshman English major at Campbell, had no idea she would have the opportunity to present research so early in her college career. Jones presented a paper on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s juxtaposition of legends and science that concluded with an overall mes-

sage of British fear concerning what is foreign.

“I currently have British Literature II and, after reading my rough draft for my paper, my professor approached me and asked if I would be interested in being a part of this symposium,” said Jones.

“It’s great for my growth as an English major talking to older students and other people who are already in the English field more so than I am, and I felt like it was a really great opportunity for me that I could know in the future how to apply those principles in my own way.”

While students had the chance to learn more about what other students were researching and the thought processes used within that research, the facilitating professors also had the opportunity to hear fresh voices regarding topics that may not be at the center of their field.

“There are several papers that are not in my specific field of expertise, particularly British Literature, particularly Chaucer and Shakespeare, and I have not read some of those texts in a long time so this has given me a fresh view which has been really fascinating,” said Dr. Sherry Truffin, associate professor of English at Campbell.

Over the course of the two-day event, spectators and presenters had the opportunity to not only explore Campbell’s campus at their leisure, but attend BigSURS events across campus, taking place in D. Rich Hall, the John W. Pope, Jr. Convocation Center, Wiggins Memorial Library, the Taylor Bott Rogers Fine Arts Building and the Lundy Fetterman School of Business.

Guests were also recommended to visit Gore Field for a women’s lacrosse game, and were offered tours of Campbell’s graduate schools.

“It’s really a chance to

here to Campbell,” said Mercogliano. “And at the same time, [we can] share ideas that we have here, with other institutions.”

“Professor Kenny is a very knowledgeable individual who is passionate about his work and

his classes are a joy to take. Not only did we learn the material but it was also enjoyable, being hands on,” said Sacaccio. “To go into my senior year and no longer have him here will be upsetting; I will without doubt miss him and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.”

Last year was Kenny’s first year full-time, but over the years he taught many courses including Television, Publication, Introduction to Broadcasting, Writing for Broadcast Media and Photography.

Kenny has played a role in the department’s growth, especially where the television studio is concerned.

Before opening the department’s television studio, where the Campbell Now! TV classes are held, Kenny said the department used to go to Garner to shoot the news. Once the studio was established on campus, the department brought in Mac labs because they met the standards for digital video editing.

As the program grows, Kenny said, “[We hope] to get an HD tri-caster, so we can broadcast in HD on a nightly basis.”

Packed crowd at spring concert

Wednesday evening, the star-studded line-up of Lee Brice, The Cadillac Three and Chase Bryant, came to Buies Creek for CAB’s annual Spring Concert.

Before doors opened, students and fans lined up outside the John W. Pope, Jr. Convocation Center, eager to get inside to hear the acts, which were a part

of the first leg of Brice’s college tour.

Senior Kelsey McGaha, a communication studies major, was excited to see Lee Brice.

“I came early with friends in hopes of getting close to the stage so I could take good photos,” McGaha said. “I enjoy country music and I was glad that Lee Brice would be the headliner in my last concert here at Campbell.”

Junior accounting major Allison Core said she is a

fan of country music and attended her first Campbell concert that night.

“I’m glad that they had finally lined up a country act to come to Campbell,” Core said.

Jessica Crotts, a graduate student in physical therapy, was able to celebrate her birthday by attending her first concert here at Campbell.

“I’m excited to see Lee Brice and to sing along with friends,” Crotts said.

Lee Brice held a meet

and greet where students and fans could take a photo with him. Brice autographed tickets as well as boots, as many sported their cowboy/cowgirl boots in the spirit of the country acts.

“I am looking to getting this party started,” said Brice as Campbell was the first stop on his college tour. “I know we are going to be throwing down and it is going to be awesome.”

‘Taking it on back’ with Chase Bryant CT: If you had to listen to one artist for the rest of your life, who would it be?

Bryant: George Strait. They were great love songs, he defined the factor of having not only great love songs, but having great songs in general.

And the fact that he was the king of country music and such a big part of what I do, I mean he was a big inspiration for me.

Would you rather play in small venues or larger venues? Why?

If I was playing an acoustic guitar, I would like to play in front of smaller crowds for sure because I think they listen to songs a little more. Whenever it comes to large arenas like tonight, it’s also fun when you’re playing in a big band because it’s louder, there’s more of an energy there. But when I play small rooms, just me and a guitar, it always feels right.

What is one unforgettable tour memory so far?

Selling out Joe’s Bar in

Chicago. On my Take It On Back tour, we were one of three people to ever sell that out. It’s something I’ll always remember.

What is your favorite thing to see in the audience while you are on stage?

I love to see people singing back my songs. I know there’s not many that are out, but of the five that are out, I think I’m starting to see people singing all those songs back and that’s just a cool thing to see.

You remember those places where they do it.

What’s your favorite song right now?

“Lay Low” by Josh Turner.

The line “want to find a front porch rail and prop up my traveling boots” is one of the most classic lines I’ve ever heard. It sounds small but there’s something about it that just attracts me.

You’re touring for Lee Brice.

‘Alabama Rain’ looks at Summer in the what it means to truly live city checklist

By Rachel Rock

By Emily McIntosh

In the spring production of “Alabama Rain,” the Campbell University Department of Theatre Arts explores the idea of learning to live instead of simply existing.

The play, by Heather McCutchen, opened Friday, April 10, and will continue to run on April 17 and 18 at 7 p.m. and April 19 at 2 p.m.

The five-woman play is directed by theatre professor Georgia Martin and stars Candace Sharp as Pheenie, Caitlin Branen as Laurie Laurie, Emma Leatherwood as Monty Lou, Tori Shue as Rachel and Heather Bradshaw as Dallas.

In the opening act, the lights come up on the set of the La Dean Boarding House

So you’ve nailed that interview for a summer internship in Raleigh. Or you were born and raised in the Triangle and plan to spend your summer in the area’s shopping centers, parks or movie theaters (and there are a lot of theaters).

Whatever your plan is, there is never a dull moment during a summer in the RaleighDurham area. Here are some things to do for a summer to remember in the city.

a comedic spin. Each of the La Dean sisters has their own problems that they are trying to overcome, and some are rather bizarre, ranging from being pregnant for ten years to obsesSee Alabama Rain, Page 11

Slide the City In my family, no summer was complete without a day on the slip-n-slide. When the nostalgia to slide across your lawn hits you like a ton of bricks, you may want to keep

your calendar clear for Saturday, May 30, when Slide the City comes to Raleigh.

What is Slide the City? According to WRAL.com, “More than 1,000 feet of padded vinyl will be placed on Glenwood Avenue to help turn the area into a giant slip and slide.” And if that doesn’t make you want to register immediately, there will also be plenty of food and entertainment supporting local businesses in the area.

Registration is now open on slidethecity.com. Be sure to check out the early bird discount.

Statement shorts for your best spring look

By Katlyn Clark Staff Writer

Shorts season is here, so it’s time to put away the jeans

Lace shorts, Natural White H&M, $24.95 Lace is a popular choice among fabrics. The detail is light, but intricate. Lace shorts can be dressed up for those summer concerts, or down for a day of classes. These would pair great with a nice pastelcolored top. Wear your top untucked, so as not to show the elastic waistband. Add some gold jewelry and tan sandals, and you are good to go.

and sweatpants and bring in some fun, shorter additions to your closet. You can make a statement with not only your top, but with your bot-

AEO Printed Soft Shortie, Blue American Eagle, $29.95 If any type of shorts speaks to me, it’s definitely a pair with a nice pattern. These shorts provide the right colors and the right contrast of multiple patterns to make your outfit pop.

Your top can be any color in the pattern. This pair has drawstrings and are loose fitting for added comfort. Add thin, simple bracelets to go with the more complex pattern. Wear with gold or white sandals to complete the outfit.

toms too.

H&M, American Eagle and Charlotte Russe are all affordable, accessible stores with on-trend summer lines,

making them the perfect spots to hunt for cute pairs of shorts, cropped leggings and other summer wear.

Here are some cute choices

Chino shorts, Light red H&M, $24.95

AEO Hi-Rise Floral Cropped Leggings, Multi American Eagle, $19.95

Embroidered Fringe HighWaisted shorts, Black Charlotte Russe, $20.99

These leggings have character. The floral pattern, colors and length make the perfect combo for a sunny day. Not to mention they are very eyecatching. These leggings can be worn with a complementary flowy top or tank. The white sneakers shown on the model work, but for warmer days, you could also wear them with sandals.

The fringe! Need I say more?

Fringe is a fun detail for any outfit. And these shorts have just the right amount, in a basic black to keep it classy.

The shorts also have an elastic waistband to provide additional comfort, along with the loosefitting flowy style. With their simple black color, you can pair these with virtually any top, perhaps one in a Campbell orange? Add gold jewelry, and gold or tan sandals, and you have a look fit for spring or summer.

These shorts scream summer, but while we wait just a little bit longer, we can still enjoy them now in spring. These bottoms have a preppy feel with the bright color, and the linen-like fabric. I would pair these with a denim shirt or a white or navy polo. Wear these bottoms with Sperry’s or a nice pair of sandals. These are also available in light beige and dark blue.

that have that spring/summer feel and are sure to be the statement pieces in any outfit.

continued from page 8

Brice said he likes to reminisce with his band and have a drink to get the blood flowing before going out on stage to perform.

During a special moment of the night, the Wounded Warriors were recognized before Lee Brice performed.

Two students who had graduated from Campbell were in the Army Green Beret together.

One of them was killed in battle, and in his honor the Wounded Warriors wanted to give a scholarship to a student who has had a loved one in the Green Beret.

The other Campbell student spoke on the deceased student’s behalf, along with a retired veteran.

He received a signed guitar from Lee Brice during the singer’s act.

Brice started out his act singing one of his popular songs, “Drinking Class,” when he came to the stage.

Later on, he said he wanted everyone in the crowd to sing along with “A Woman Like You.” Brice sang other

continued from page 8

well-known songs of his such as “Hard To Love,” “Love Like Crazy” and “Parking Lot Party.” Brice and his band performed covers of “Beverly Hills,” “Rude” and “Locked Out of Heaven.” He ended the show with “I Don’t Dance.”

Freshman Amber Chauncey, a pre-professional biology major, was able to bring her mom, sister and a friend from home to the Spring Concert.

The four had waited outside of the convocation center since 3:45 p.m. that afternoon. Chauncey said her favorite moment was seeing Lee Brice perform from the front row.

“The most surprising thing that happened at the concert was being able to meet Chase Bryant and Lee Brice after the show,” Chauncey said. “They were so nice and willing to make sure to take pictures and give autographs to their fans.”

CAB’s Spring Concert country act was a success for many on campus.

How excited are you for that?

Lee has always been one of those artists who has great songs, is always a great entertainer, and more than that, he’s a great guy. So I’m more than thrilled to be out on the road with him.

Favorite movie?

“Forrest Gump.”

Everybody always saw it as a comedy, but that movie has so many points that I live by.

There are so many justifications about life, and how it’s supposed to be. Like falling in love, how crazy that can be, and how sometimes it doesn’t matter who you are, love is always out there. And

Don’t ever give up on your dreams, don’t ever let anyone tell you to give up. Take “no” out of your dictionary when heard.

Hallum

continued from page 12

dangerous hitter that week, Hallum also played a significant role on the Campbell pitching staff. He pitched against High Point and UNC Wilmington without giving up a run or a hit through 2 and 2/3 innings.

Hallum’s impact at the plate and on the mound continues to help drive Campbell’s success. He usually starts in leftfield and occasionally pitches in relief during the final innings of the game. However, Hallum admits that the transition from the outfield to the rubber is not an easy one to make.

“It’s a tough transition especially when it’s tight in the late innings,” said Hallum. “It’s really more of a mindset thing than a talent thing to me. When I pitch, my mind is at a different pace than when I’m in the batter’s box and when I hit, I really have to slow it all down.”

Hallum has pitched in 13 games this season with seven saves and owns a 0.57 earned run average in 15 and 2/3 innings. He has struck out 12 batters, and

allowed just three walks on ten hits. He leads the Campbell pitching staff in saves and recorded his seventh save over the weekend at Liberty where he struck out all three batters he faced.

This is Hallum’s first year as a Camel after transferring in from Bakersfield College, a community college located in his hometown of Bakersfield, California. The transition from the junior college level to the Division I level is one that he admits came with a lot of getting used to.

“The intensity is a lot higher from basic practice, to the weight room and especially the time commitment,” said Hallum, “but you can’t let it get control of you and definitely can’t get behind on school, baseball and classwork.”

Campbell Baseball will continue to look for strong performances from Hallum’s bat and arm as they dig deeper into conference play.

for me that movie has so many great moments in it that I love.

What are some of your other hobbies?

Fishing, hunting, building, cooking, those are all hobbies of mine. I deer hunt and

bass fish hunt a lot, and I like to cook steak. (He takes his steak rare, for those who were wondering.)

What does the future hold for you?

Hopefully success in this business, hopefully a lifelong journey, I hope that this never ends. And tonight is proof, when you’re in a small town of 800 people, from playing in four walls of a bedroom to now playing in four walls of an arena, it’s a good sign for me.

If you had a chance to say anything to Campbell students, what would you tell them?

Don’t ever give up on your dreams, don’t ever let anyone tell you to give up. Take “no” out of your dictionary when heard. There’s a place for

everybody and there’s a place for every dream to be accomplished and be successful. As long as you’re happy doing it, don’t worry about the money, the money will come. But happiness is all about success and to me success is accomplishing what you want to accomplish, no matter what it is.

What do you like about playing at a university?

They’re my age! It’s fun, I connect with these people because I know what they’re going through; there are things I’ve gone through in the past too. I’m just happy to be here and to be playing for people who know me and people who are my age. It’s one of those things I’m very thankful for, because I can connect on a personal basis with these people.

Hitch, “and I think that we always fight until the end, even though we know it’s not going to go our way.”

The Camels showed this fighting spirit today as they kept up the defense, pressuring the other team, and scored when they were down by 10 points.

“We’re still working,” said Hitch. “Definitely going to get them next year.”

Jenna Kasmarik scored nine of Winthrop’s 21 goals. Kasmarik is the nation’s leading scorer and the only player to reach 50 goals thus far.

After this game against Campbell she has a total of 59 goals.

“She’s a very good shooter,” said sophomore goalkeeper Merredith Bechler. “She knows how to move a goalie. I clap my hands to her.”

For the Camels, Cook, Reilly and Hitch led with two goals each. Day, Carroll, O’Hara and Koontz followed with one apiece. Cook and Day also had two assists, while Hitch and Reilly had one each.

Hitch credits her goals to her teammates’ help. “They fed me the ball inside, and a good look to the goal,” she said. “So I credit them as well.”

Bechler played the whole 60 minutes and had a total of nine saves. She gives credit to her defense for

these saves. “Honestly, it all comes down to my defense,” she said, “working their girls to the outside.

I commend my defense for that.”

Though this game seemed to be a rough way to start home conference games, the team has high hopes for the rest of the season.

“I hope we can come out on fire like we did in the first half,” said Bechler, “and just continue it through because we really are a great team.”

After a rough weekend, the Camels prepare to get back on track as they play Presbyterian Friday, April 17 at Barker-Lane Stadium at 7 p.m.

sively tending to a dead magnolia tree.

The main difficulty that the girls have to overcome is their thirst for water. The well is dried up and the town has not seen rain for thirty or forty years.

This thirst for water represents a thirst to move on and continue living life when everything around them is stagnant.

Some desire to move on more than others, but eventually, they all realize that moving on is a part of life.

In the beginning of the play, the idea of their town being “where time stands still” was a recurring theme. Nothing was changing; no one new came to live in the town, and no one died. Everything was barren, including the dried up well.

The cast was able to bring their reality of stagnancy to the audience in a comedic manner that made the audience both laugh and relate to their problems at the same time.

As the play progressed, the sisters began to come out of the standstill that the town had been locked in for forty years.

The characters learned that,

continued from page 9

through everything, “life goes on.” Through disagreements, life goes on. Through grieving death, life goes on. Through struggles and disappointments, life goes on.

Sophomore theatre major Emma Leatherwood, who portrayed Monty Lou, said, “The analogy of the lack of water and growth to time standing still reminded me of how some people are so narrow minded and stuck in their ways that they refuse to move on with their lives. They cling to the past and, because of this, they never become wellrounded individuals.”

The La Dean sisters find themselves in situations that students at Campbell will never literally find themselves in, but the message is still the same: through everything, people need to keep moving and need to remember that they will make it through.

The Department of Theatre Arts’s production of Alabama Rain will continue playing April 17 to 19. Tickets are $3 and can be bought at the box office in the Ellis Theatre lobby.

doesn’t love movies?

Located in Cary, the Koka Booth Amphitheater features WakeMed’s “Movies by Moonlight,” showing popular movies throughout the summer in its outdoor Amphitheater. A great way to change up family movie night, or the perfect idea for a date, “Movies by Moonlight” includes both classics and new releases of all genres.

Babysitting for the Summer?

Come to the amphitheater on Friday, May 15 to see “Big Hero 6” and make both the parents and kids happy. Does your boyfriend love docudramas? Oscar-nominated film “The Imitation Game” is set to show Friday, May 29. Just don’t forget your lawn blankets and picnic basket for dinner and a show.

Tickets are five dollars, and children under 12 receive free admission.

NC Museums So you have a great idea to keep the kids you babysit occupied for the evening. But what about in the daytime? Or maybe you feel a real sting of

disappointment knowing you just finished your last semester of environmental science.

Downtown Raleigh has you covered with the NC Museum of Natural Sciences. If the large globe you pass doesn’t grab your attention when you drive down the street, this particular museum features everything you could possibly think of when it comes to NC environmental science, with free admission to boot.

Not only that, this museum hosts a plethora of events for kids and adults alike during the summer, including “Learn to Geocache” on May 14, and “Getting Started in Astro-Imaging,” on May 21. According to the museum website naturalsciences.org, “Covering the basic areas of getting started in Astro-Imaging, this class is targeted to adults of any age with an interest in learning more about astronomy.”

You’ll keep your brain sharp over the summer and you’ll have some really great topics of conversation for that Fourth of July party your parents have planned.

Durham Bulls If you live in the Triangle, you know how much fun a Durham Bulls game can be, and summer is the perfect opportunity to embrace American culture and enjoy some baseball.

How could that get any better? In addition to watching the game, the Durham Bulls feature many themed home games throughout the summer, including College Night every Thursday and Friday Night Fireworks.

There’s also “Star Wars” Night on May 16, 90s Night on June 18 and the Independence Day Fireworks Extravaganza on July 4. On the official website, the Durham Bulls provide a list of themed games and events.

So when you’re planning your day with the family or friends to see some baseball, consider Dad’s obsession with “Star Wars,” or that new friend you made at your internship who still listens to Britney Spears circa 1998.

BRIEFS Day sets lacrosse single-season scoring record Junior Loren Day is the all-time leading scorer in the young history of Campbell lacrosse, and now she’s also the single-season scoring record holder.

Day set a program record with her 38th goal of the season in Campbell’s 2111 loss to Liberty in its Big South opener on April 4.

She’s currently at 42 goals for the season.

The former mark for goals in a season (36) was held by current assistant coach Taelar Errington, set during the 2014 season.

Baseball loses series to Liberty LYNCHBURG, VA. – Ashton Perritt went 3-for-5 with three RBI to lead Liberty past visiting Campbell 10-2 Sunday, clinching the Big South series for the Flames.

The game was nationally televised on ESPNU. Liberty scored in six straight innings from the second to the seventh, pounding out 17 hits, a season high allowed by Campbell (25-12, 8-7 Big South).

Lehtovuori second, team finishes fifth at Liberty Spring AMHERST, VA. – Mikko Lehtovuori finished one stroke off the individual lead and Campbell moved up to fifth place on the team leader board after Saturday’s final round of the Liberty Spring Invitational men’s golf tournament at Poplar Grove.

A junior from Lahti, Finland, Lehtovuori shot twounder-par, one shot behind a six-way tie for first.

Camels earn 8 top-5 finishes at Hampton Relays HAMPTON, Va. - Davian Rhodes and Sabina Allen gave Campbell a pair of gold medals in field events as the Camels picked up eight top-five finishes at the Hampton Relays on Saturday afternoon.

Rhodes, the Big South indoor champion in the men’s high jump, reached a height of 6-8 to earn the victory, while Allen cleared a distance of 39-10.75 to earn gold in the women’s triple jump.

Leading outfielder receives conference and national honors

By Eric Ortiz Staff Writer

Campbell Baseball is having another successful season and one of the many reasons for this is their most lethal weapon at the plate, junior outfielder Cole Hallum. Hallum leads Campbell offensively with 35 runs batted in and is the only Camel to hit double-

digit home runs with 10.

He also currently sits at the top of the Big South leaderboards in both categories.

Hallum began to receive conference and national recognition for his performance on the field during a five game stretch from March 17 to 22. The junior outfielder received two awards, one from the Big South and the other from

Collegiate Baseball, being named the Big South Player of the Week and the Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week.

“Every baseball player knows that they are going to have hot streaks every once in a while,” said Hallum. “I had one of those that week and was privileged to be honored by the conference

and nationally.”

During that stretch, Campbell traveled to High Point University for a three-game weekend series.

Over that weekend, Hallum belted a home run in each game driving in a total of eight runs while batting .500 at the plate.

Lacrosse falls short in weekend matches

By Brooke Williams Staff Writer

The Campbell University Women’s Lacrosse team fell to 3-11 (0-4 in Big South) over the weekend. Sunday, Campbell lost 21-6 to High Point (5-8, and 3-1 in the Big South).

Friday, the team lost 2110 to Winthrop in their first home conference game of the season.

The Winthrop Eagles came in 10-2 (2-0 in Big South) and ranked first in

the Big South Conference.

This was the third match between the two teams, of which Campbell has won none.

Winthrop took the lead at the start of the game scoring four points in the first 10 minutes. Campbell then answered with two points to make the score 4-2 Winthrop. Winthrop would score another before Campbell scored three to even the score at 5-5.

In the last two minutes of the half Winthrop scored

two points to make the score 7-5 Winthrop at half time. The second half started with Winthrop scoring a goal, to which Campbell then answered with their own goal a minute later.

With the score 8-6 Winthrop, the Eagles scored four more goals in five minutes making bringing it to 12-6.

Campbell came back with one goal, but Winthrop scored another two. The Camels scored two goals soon after that, bringing

the score 14-9 Winthrop.

But Winthrop would pull further ahead by scoring six goals in the next 10 minutes.

The Lady Camels scored their final goal with 1:14 left, but the Eagles had the final say and scored with 0:14 left to seal the deal. The final score was Winthrop 21 and Campbell 10.
