“The Office of Community Engagement (a part of the Campus Ministry), along with the Multi-Cultural Council, has collaborated to plan the events that will take place here on campus next week,” said Kristina L. Wolfe, Community Engagement Coordinator.

On Jan. 16, Campbell’s GayStraight Alliance (GSA) held its first meeting. The organization has yet to be approved by the Inter-Organizational Council, so the meeting wasn’t yet official, but there was an enormous turn out.

“We never expected to have such an amazing turn out for the first meeting,” said junior biology major Amanda Thornton. “We hope that we will continue to have to support of the students, faculty and staff in the future.”

The founding members of the GSA are Amanda Thornton, sophomore political science/ pre-law major Blake Faircloth, sophomore political science/ pre-law major major Claire Scott, senior biology major Jeremy Barefoot, and sophomore pharmaceutical Sciences major Mari Yang.

The five came together when they all realized they had the same goal.

“Jeremy came to me one day and told me his story of how he wanted to start a club like GSA on campus and eventually we got together and wrote the constitution for GSA,” said Thornton. “We were then introduced to Claire, Blake and Mary who were working on the same project separately. After that, we all worked together corroboratively to make this happen.”

The GSA has an extensive list of goals that the members hope will be beneficial for the University.

At the interest meeting Scott said, “We hope to see this as a community where gays and straights can come together without animosity.”

The organization also would

Campbell University’s Health Center continues to provide students, faculty, and staff with an expanding range of healthcare services.

Located at the intersection of Lanier St. and Judge Taylor Rd., the Health Center provides all students and university employees with access to allergy injections, immunizations, laboratory testing, and office visits.

Most recently, a pharmacy Bowman has been added to the list of services offered.

Dr. Andy Bowman, the Director of Continuing Education, Assistant Professor of Pharmacy Practice, and the Health Center’s Pharmacy Manager, said the university had a pharmacy in the health care center before.

“We have had a pharmacy in this facility before, but they closed it down a few years back. It was a small scale operation,” Bowman said. “This is a much bigger operation.

Back then, 5 or 6 years ago, we were dispensing only a handful of things to students. Now our intention is to take care of faculty and staff as well as students.”

Faculty says farewell to beloved worker

For 21 years, Billie Jo Pittman, Associate Registrar, has work at Campbell University in both the Business Office and the Registrar’s Office.

During her time here many things have change on Campus as well as around the world.

When the subject of what she felt has changed the most a smile came across her face.

“I started in April 1992 in the Business Office and worked with student accounts,” said Pittman. “Back then we had hand written receipts, not camel cards with Camel or Creek Bucks. The biggest change for both students and employees were the computers, it has made things so much more beneficial. ” Pittman continue to smile and even showed some emotion at how much she missed working with students and parents during her time in the Business Office working with student accounts and records.

However, when the opportunities to increase her diversity and even gain a promotion to the registrar’s office, she welcomed the change.

While working as the associate registrar, Pittman was responsible for certifying undergraduate candidates for graduation, for coordinating, planning, and publishing of

Associate Registrar Billie Jo Pittman has devoted 21 years to Campbell and colleagues said they will greatly miss her. the graduation programs, for maintaining and amending our Degree Audit program in Ellucian data software, for providing reports to federal and state agencies and for providing miscellaneous reports to departments and staff persons as authorized.

Pittman will not be retiring so to speak but will be moving closer to home.

“In 1998 my family moved back home to Clinton, but I loved being here at Campbell so much I just couldn’t leave,” she said.

When asked why the change, a noticeable gleam could be seen in her eyes, “A position opened up at Hobbton Elementary School as administrative assistance, which is within walking dis-

tance to my house and I will be able to be with my children as their school is in the same area, Pittman said. “But, I will always love Campbell University”.

Win M. Quakenbush of the Business office said, “If I was to say anything negative about Billie Jo leaving it is, that we will all miss her, But seriously, Most of the students from the past 20 years have all been affected by her in some shape or form. Some of our graduates may not appreciate how complicated it is to set up, run and complete a graduation ceremony. Billie always played a major role in making all aspect of the ceremonies work.”

Debbie Gibbs of the Business office who has worked with her since 2007 can recall

her sense of humor.

“Billie was so energetic and always running, no matter the whether she could always be seen running the cross country path during her lunch break,” Gibbs said.

“I worked with her for 15 years and there was never a time no matter what the issue that she did not make time to help us. I’ve learned a lot from JO. Any stumbling block we had, she was there to help us,” Marian Brantley of the Registrar’s Office said.

University Registrar J. David McGrit has worked with Pittman for 17 years.

“She is a superwoman, has a tremendous work ethic is skilled, confident and energetic. She was my right and left hand.” McGrit said. “I myself will be lost without her. Her computer knowledge was key to our office transforming and even more so by setting up the procedures by which we use.”

So whether you remember getting an email from her to update you on campus issues or class schedules, Pittman has been thought of as the backbone of the Registrar’s Office. She is appreciated as the key to success of behind the scenes activities, functions as well as a complete professional in support of Campbell University. Her coworkers feel that she has done so much for Campbell University and they will all miss her.

Our View

An open mind to the future

By Courtney Schultz Editor In Chief

From what you’ll discover in this issue of The Campbell Times, Campbell’s Associate Registrar Billie Jo Pittman has chosen to resign at the end of January.

“There is hardly anyone who has been associated with Campbell University since 1996 that has not been touched in a positive way by Jo’s incredible energy, consummate professionalism, and winsome smile,” Registrar J. David McGirt said in an email to the faculty.

I’ve never had to make a trip to the Registrar’s Office; therefore, I never came in contact with Ms. Pittman, but clearly she’s left an impression on Campbell.

The announcement puts the cycle of the world in perspective. As college students, especially seniors, steadily working towards their first steps into the “real world,” they

embark on a similar transition as Pittman. Both are closing a chapter in their lives, while attempting to gracefully soar into the next.

To be honest, graduation gives me anxiety. With less than three semesters left of college, I still have plenty of time to make up my mind regarding my next chapter, but the thought of the transition makes me restless. Many of my friends have plans of law school, graduate programs, or teaching careers for after graduation, but my path isn’t so finely paved.

I feel many college juniors or seniors find themselves in a position of conflict. They know what they’re passionate about or what they like, but a career is a totally different issue. We put off thinking about real world stresses as long as we can. Lately, economists only seem to gripe about how 50-plus % of college graduates are unemployed or underem-

ployed and employment hasn’t increase, which makes the future appear daunting.

College life is great compared to the outside world.

We have specified housing, meal plans, and schedules to keep our lives organized and composed. Although the routine can become mundane, a comfort resides in not needing to worry about cooking or the electric bill.

Nevertheless, the real world is inevitable. I think what’s really important in beginning a new chapter is to follow a passion. Without zeal for what you’re doing, what’s the point of doing it? To make money?

Why would you want to live your life in such a fashion?

As I make my way toward the adult world, I hope to discover what will make me happy in the long run. In the words of Aldous Huxley in Brave New World, “I want to know what passion is. I want to feel something strongly.”

Throughout life, individuals go through many transitions, so college graduation is a small step into many more. Yet, I hope all graduates can find their passion and what makes them happy.

“The saddest people I’ve ever met in life are the ones who don’t care deeply about anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary, because there’s nothing to make it last.”

-Nicolas Sparks, Dear John.

Professor of the week column: Dr. Edward Fubara

Choosing to serve others It’s not about you. For me these are the most memorable and moving words from Rick Warren’s blockbuster The Purpose Driven Life. It’s funny how different this idea is from the heart of our contemporary reality-TV-look-at-me-I’mfamous-and-it’s-all-about-me culture. Who would have thought that we would develop an entire genre of TV shows about people who are not famous who in turn become famous for…well for being famous. Don’t get me started on the things people will do or the price they will pay for 15 minutes in the spotlight. Not to mention the things that we have decided are worth paying attention to. Recently a man was killed while trying to take a picture of Justin Bieber’s car.

What’s more serious to me though is how this “it’s all about me” attitude shows up in our popular and political conversation. I was a little sad (in some cases a lot sad) as I watched Facebook last fall and saw some of my “friends” turn downright ugly. MY rights, MY guns, MY taxes, MY money, MY point of view, MY tribe… Oh my.

This week we celebrate the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday and Week of Service. The philosophy behind the Week of Service is a phrase from one of Dr. King’s sermons: “everybody can be great because

everybody can serve.”

In his life and work Dr. King demonstrated that service is more than an act or an action Fubara but that service requires a certain attitude. It’s a heart or a mindset that says “it’s not about me.” As you may know, Dr. King had the intellectual ability and oratorical skill that could have earned him a pretty comfortable life.

He could have lived quietly as a pastor or even been a professor or an attorney. We probably would have understood if he had withdrawn from public life when his safety was threatened. He certainly didn’t have to put his life on the line for strangers. But when he said “I may not there with you, but… we as a people will make it to the promised land” he was in a sense saying “it’s not about me.” That’s not the kind of sentiment we hear today from our so-called “public servants.” Of course Dr. King was in many ways, imitating the King of Kings – the ultimate example of humility and self-sacrificial service!

Recently I have been reflecting on some of the Old

Testament prophets, human suffering and the life and work of people like Dr. King (how’s that for reality TV?). One of the themes that I see is that in spite of setbacks, tragedies, difficulties and challenges the ultimate movement of God’s people is onward and upward.

We as a people will make it to the promised land… It’s kind of like the stock market. It goes through dips and crashes but ultimately it’s a pretty safe place to be.

Each year as we celebrate the MLK Week of Service I observe students who seem to be a little confused about it.

They can’t really relate to the Civil Rights Movement or Jim Crow or liberation theology…

Well, here’s a way to look at it: Let’s make this an annual attitude check up. Do you have the attitude or heart of a servant? What have you done for someone else lately?

Of course there’s nothing wrong with being self-interested. Looking out for your self-interest is actually a good thing. However, self-centeredness and plain old selfishness are not.

After all, it’s not about you.

P.S. Shout out to my colleague, Dr. Jerry Taylor, a man of the people with the heart of a servant. Well done!

“MLK is so inspirational and though years and years have passed and we have made a tremendous leap forwards, I think that Martin Luther would like to see people coming together.

Misuse of science fiction: Caught red-handed

By Brian Brown Staff Writer

Science fiction is a big part of modern culture. From blockbuster action movies like “The Avengers” to cult classic TV shows like “Star Trek” and all the way back to definitive literature like “Frankenstein.” Sometimes, people become so obsessed with the genre that it has a negative effect on their social lives, and then those people are belittled and mocked by sitcom writers. Other times people in the entertainment business could miss a big opportunity if they aren’t familiar enough with science fiction and its rich history. For these people it would pay to crack open a comic book once in a while.

The Writers of “The Neighbors”

“The Neighbors” is a sitcom about a typical American family, the Weavers, living in a neighborhood populated entirely by aliens, Zabvronians, stranded on Earth. If nothing else, its creators should get credit for recognizing the rich history of sitcoms about aliens.

Unfortunately, the writers don’t seem to have much knowledge of classic alien literature.

Theoretically, this forces them to rely entirely on their own creativity, but it could also create major plot problems, and honestly creativity went out the window at “sitcom about aliens” (My Favorite Martian or Out of This World). The writers’ insufficient sci-fi knowledge especially stands out in the episode “Cold War.” The plot revolves around the Weaver family catching a cold and the Zabvronians fear the unknown contagion at first but eventually come to accept it as a natural part of life on Earth, even convincing their skeptical leader.

The problem is, according to father of science fiction H.G. Wells, a cold could very well have disastrous effects on a foreign species, as in his novel The War of the Worlds. In it, Martians invade Earth, but are ultimately defeated because they have no defenses against Earthly illnesses. This isn’t some little story lost to history.

It’s been remade dozens of times in multiple mediums, including a radio series by Orson Welles that comes up often in discussions about broadcasting history and a 2005 movie starring Tom Cruise, yet none of these were referenced once, except perhaps in the title “Cold War.” If they could pass up a Tom Cruise reference then it’s probably safe to assume the title was merely a coincidence.

Brad Paisley

Brad Paisley’s 2007 single “Letter to Me” is a message to Paisley’s 17 year old self. On the surface it’s a straightforward look at adolescence through the lens of experience, but then Paisley gets to the line “you’re still around to write this letter to me,” at which point a science fiction fan would fall down the rabbit hole. Just by telling his teenage self that lives to his middle ages he’s changed the timeline.

There’s no telling what effect a letter from his future self could have on a vulnerable teenage psyche, especially when he encourages himself to “have no fear,” effectively giving himself a license to bungee jump without a rope. Maybe by knowing that running out of gas on his date with Bridgette “turns out kind of cool” his expectations of her are changed and he ruins it, not to mention the ethical problems of manipulating events and deceiving Bridgette to get what he wants. Adult Paisley mentions his wife and kids, and as they say, every wrong turn led him to his wife.

Maybe by messing up his date with Bridgette, he never meets his wife, his kids are never born, and little Marty Paisley has to go back in time himself and invent rock and roll, so that his parents will get together.

Dubstep musicians

After her 2011 album “Born this Way” Lady Gaga relatively dropped out of the limelight and without her there could have been a noticeable decrease in music jokes. People would have to rely on cheap shots at Nickelback, but 2012 started the rise of the most ridiculous music genre since polka. People have taken so much joy from dubsteps awfulness it seems selfish to ask for more, but something must be done. Every dubstep song should be filled to the brim with science fiction references. There can never be enough science fiction references from the people behind “R2-D2 Burping the Alphabet” and other classic dubstep songs. Skrillex and his pals should study the novels of H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, and Phillip K. Dick. They should read comic books and watch “Doctor Who” until they cry (which shouldn’t be too hard) if they want to continue in their business of making ringtones for Robot Devil. Extra points if someone raps in Klingon.

Students would play the red and green card game to win a small prize, such as a DVD or restaurant gift card. The winner with the most green cards at the end of the night won the grand prize of multiple gift cards. Freshman business administration major, Mercedes Torrero, top right, participated in the game as she looks at her cards. Senior elementary education major Kayla Castro and junior business major Jorge Castro, bottom left, enjoyed the game as they hoped to win. There was laughter and anger throughout the night because many students wanted to win and they were all very competitive.

On Friday night, Turner Auditorium became a world of astonishing magic and extraordinary illusion. Magician Brian Brushwood performed for Campbell students to display his unique magic tricks. One of his illusions included fire-swallowing, bottom right, which left students in awe.

Many students attended the speculation and felt the illusions were unbelievable. Brushwood invited multiple students on stage to assist with his tricks. One astonished student, pre-pharmacy freshman Oliva Brown, below, watched as the magician appeared to pierce his mouth with a wire.

Freshmen homeland security major T’Shara Jones and athletic training major Daniel Tompkins, middle right, were left stunned on stage as Brushwood performed his tricks.

Junior pre-med/ biology major Drew Taylor, above, embraced his time on stage. He later even complied to allowing a box be placed on his head while Brushwood demonstrated his talents, above.

Freshman biology major Zach Poovey was also thrilled by the nights events. Overall, Campbell students enjoyed the show and hope to see more from acts like Brushwood in the future.

Freeman leads the Camels

By Aaron Evans Staff Writer

Despite finding out earlier this week that they would be without their leading scorer, senior forward Darren White, for the remainder of the season, the Campbell men’s basketball team finds itself at the top of the Big South Conference after Saturday afternoon’s win against visiting Winthrop University.

From the onset of the game, it was clear Trey Freeman was on a mission to lead the Fighting Camels to a victory.

Freeman, a sophomore guard is leading the Big South so far this season in the assists category with 6.1 a game.

However, it was Freeman’s ability to score seemingly at will that propelled the Camels past the Eagles of Winthrop.

Freeman led all scorers with 24 points, and also led in assists with 5.

“It was good that we came back with a lot of energy, but the game should have never been as close as it was, overall I’m just happy we came away with the win,” Freeman said.

Sophomore guard Trey Freeman fights for the ball at Saturday’s game. Since Darren White has been unable to play, due to injury, Freeman has stepped up as a team leader.

Freeman was referring to the deficit Campbell faced with approximately five minutes left in the game. The Fighting Camels were down by 4 points when Coach Robbie Lang called a timeout in an

attempt to refocus his team.

Freeman felt Coach Laing’s talk was motivating during the timeout.

Freeman said, “It’s important that we get the ball to our post players somewhere in

Tony’s Paint & Body Shop INC 1487 NC 55 West • Coats, NC 27521

the paint, so I knew that one way or another that I had to get the ball to either Marvelle [Harris] or Darius [Leonard] because they draw a lot of attention and ultimately make the defense collapse.”

Harris was 3 of 6 from the field for a total of 9 points and Leonard was 5 of 9 from the field for 10 total points.

Freeman said the team needed to take action since White has been declared out for the remainder of the season.

“I know that I need to step up but I also know it’s crucial to get all of my teammates involved as well,” the sophomore said.

Freeman feels able and willing to step up and get his teammates involved.

The Fighting Camel’s next home game is Wednesday January 23rd at 7 p.m. They will square off against another conference foe, The Highlanders of Radford University.
