Changes around campus Campbell aims for a healthier and safer campus By Kaitlyn Dixon & Christian Hornaday Staff Writer & Assistant Editor
Campbell opened the 2014–15 academic year with 1,398 new undergraduate students, the largest class of freshmen since its founding. Academic advancements are on the horizon with programs such as the nursing school accepting its first class in the fall of 2016 and the newly added engineering program beginning in 2016. Along with academics, campuswide improvements are being made; ranging from renovations for aesthetic purposes to changes that enhance the safety of students and faculty. Walking across U.S. 421 from main campus to the south side of campus has been a concern for students as they travel to apartments

or Barker-Lane Stadium. It has recently been announced that a pedestrian tunnel will be built beneath 421 in order to alleviate this safety issue and make it easier to navigate to the southern parts of campus. The N.C. Department of Transportation is expected to close a portion of highway 421 near Barker-Lane Stadium between Judge Taylor Road and Hatcher Street/Harmon Road for 30 days, starting in September or October. All drivers coming from Lillington or Dunn by 421 will be able to get to main campus from Judge Taylor Road or Hatcher Street/ Harmon Road. “I think it’s a great idea,” said junior marketing major Skyler Dascombe. “That is a very busy highway, and it is only a matter of
time before someone gets severely injured or even killed walking from that end of the campus to the other. I’m sure there will be traffic issues, but the outcome will be well worth it.” Another aspect of Campbell that is changing this year are the food choices. The health of Campbell’s student population is another issue that will be addressed this year. Shouse Dining Hall has added rotisseries to prepare food such as pork loins, whole chickens, and roasted turkey breasts to better provide lean protein choices for students. To the dismay of some students, the grill in Shouse has been removed, however Marshbanks Dining Hall and the Burger Studio will continue to serve See Changes, Page 6

When J. Bradley Creed was chosen to be Campbell University’s fifth president in January, he certainly didn’t imagine himself serving brownies to a crowd of incoming freshmen at a “President’s Picnic.” But that’s exactly where the office took him. Although this type of activity may not fit the average view of what a university president should be (locked away in a fancy office, making important decisions), Creed has already shown a humble, approachable nature in his first few months in office. Creed attributes this to his own personality, developed from growing up in a small town. “What you see, it’s who I am,” Creed said in an interview with The Campbell Times last week. “It’s very natural for me to be involved with people.” See Creed, Page 6
Making disciples of all nations By Christian Hornaday Assistant Editor
Campbell University’s Campus Ministry is indeed fulfilling the call of Matthew 28 verse 19, “go therefore and make disciples of all nations,” as they prepare for this year’s mission trips. With one trip offered in the States, as well as two offered out of the country, students should find at least one that suits their traveling desires.

October will mark the beginning of a new career for Dr. Keith Faulkner, who will leave his role as dean of the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business to become the dean of Liberty University’s School of Law. “After a lot of prayer with my wife, and a lot of isolated individual prayer, I thought [this position] was at least worthy of exploration,” Faulkner said. “I think it’s a good fit for my skill set and my needs, and most importantly, I think it’s a fit that the Lord has put together.” Prior to his position as dean of the School of Business, Faulkner received his Juris Doctor from Campbell Law School, in addition to his Master of Business Administration from the School of Business. After graduation, he served at the School of Law as interim dean during the 2013–14 academic year, vice dean for administration and external relations, executive associate dean for academic affairs and administration, and associate dean for external relations. Liberty Provost, Ronald Hawkins, called Faulkner “a perfect fit” for Liberty. “He has a reputation as a
strong leader in the areas of legal education and university administration” Hawkins told liberty.edu. “He has demonstrated a firm commitment to remaining at the leading edge of issues facing legal education and the profession, and we are excited to have him join the Liberty family.” Associate Professor Dr. Edward Fubara will serve as interim dean of the Business School while a national search for Faulkner’s replacement is launched. Faulkner said that Campbell “is going to make an excellent selection” choosing the next dean of the Business School. “Someone who enjoys going out and making new friends for the university and the business school,” Faulkner said, regarding the qualities needed of whomever will replace him as dean of the School of Business. “Someone who is going to engage the business so we can grow opportunities for Campbell business school graduates to get jobs and have the careers of their dreams.” Faulkner exhibited these qualities in his own leadership, according to sophomore marketing and accounting major Rachael Wheeler. “I value his leadership style, and I often try to model my leadership similar to his,”
Wheeler said. “He helped move in freshmen and would participate in the annual business tailgate. I think that it is important to lead with confidence, but also to lead with compassion, and Dean Faulkner portrayed both.” Dean Keith Faulkner leaves behind a strong legacy from the time he spent at Campbell. “He set an example about passion,” said Jennifer Hegarty, a sophomore marketing major. “Watching him teach with such enthusiasm made me realize that whatever I end up doing in life, I want to be that excited about it every day when I get up in the morning.”

No more “I don’t have time for exercise” By Taylor Mckaig Staff Writer
The pursuit of health and fitness can be challenging for some students. Heavy course loads, exam crams, late night snacking, and lack of sleep are all excuses used to get out of exercising. Keep putting off that gym session, and before you know it, you’re having trouble squeezing into your favorite jeans. So, before you decide to binge on salads for a couple of weeks, consider balancing nutrition and exercise—not only for your waist, but also for your health. It is no secret that academics can be time consuming, but that is not an excuse to ignore a good workout. Dr.
Donna Wollard, chair of the department of exercise science, said, “Research tells us that the most common error is the student saying ‘I don’t have time to exercise or make a good meal.’” Many think that working out requires you to stick to a strict set of rules, which leads to a mindset that is doomed to fail. According to Woolard, “Some people have this mindset that if I can’t follow the rules, I won’t exercise at all. Same concept with eating habits: if I (the student) won’t eat right today, then there’s no point in continuing.” While some students lack the will to be healthy, others struggle with not seeing desired results from exercise.

Kendra Hancock, MS in exercise and sports science, stated, “Effective ways of staying in shape include a variety of workouts that target the overall body. A typical workout should include a warm-up with stretching and getting the heart rate elevated for the exercise.” When asked what the most effective workout entails, Hancock said,“Some sort of physical activity—cardiovascular or muscular strength/ endurance for an extended period of time (30–45 minutes), followed by a cooldown to prevent injury or soreness three to five times a week should help the typical college student stay in shape. If students incorporate those
workouts and healthy diet, they are more likely to find themselves losing weight or toning their bodies.” Although sometimes it may be difficult to fit in your 30 minute minimum, a lot of students assume that exercise needs to be done all at one time. Expert in exercise physiology and sports nutrition, Dr. Jennifer Bunn said, “Any movement counts. If you have a very busy day of classes and studying, then make sure your walks to/from classes are done with some pace so you can get a little bit of exercise in.” Bunn continued, “Workouts can be done in 10-minute ‘exercise snacks’ rather than big, long bouts. Thirty minutes of exercise,
whether in bulk or as snacks, is only 2% of a 24-hour period. Everyone can spare 2% for their health!” Some may ask if 2% really makes a difference.“It is crucial that students really make an effort to lead a healthy lifestyle. It must be a behavior change that is consistent in everyday living. It cannot just be a few weeks or a month, but a habitual lifestyle change that becomes a normal part of life,” Hancock said, “It is not that hard to live and enjoy a healthy lifestyle, the hardest part tends to be getting started with making the necessary changes.”

Opinion
If it’s not on Instagram, it didn’t happen By Rachel Rock & Christian Hornaday Editor in Chief & Assistant Editor
We live in a society that glorifies overexposure. People are no longer judged for constantly updating their snapchat story or live tweeting their entire life. What was once seen as “basic” is now the norm for young adults. There is a constant need to maintain a filtered version of your life in order to be “liked” by both your peers and followers worldwide. We sacrifice being in “the moment” to be a part of a dozen different moments at the same time just to feel connected. Even on our campus, we see examples of people being too preoccupied by their online presence to notice the living, breathing humans around them. In Marshbanks last week, we looked over and noticed
a group of three people sitting together. One girl was attempting to share a story with her friends, yet they were too caught up in their social feeds to hear a word Rock she said. If you can’t think of examples of this happening in your life, you’re either lying to yourself or you’re Hornaday the culprit. Every day, we choose social media over personal connection, which leads to a disconnect in all of our relationships. We can build a wall up between ourselves and anyone around us simply by looking at a screen. If we are by ourselves, we automatically assume that loneliness is a synonym to
awkwardness, causing us to reach for our phones and cut off any chance of real human interaction. We are so attached to instant communication that when our phone dies, it’s basically time to pack up and go home. It has come to the point where we choose to know what hundreds of people are doing rather than spending time with those around us, and when we cannot access that information, we feel out of the loop, or even lost. Although we probably spend too much time scrolling through Instagram and updating Twitter, technology seems to be a necessary evil, especially to the college student. At Campbell, Blackboard and emails are often a professor’s No. 1 choice in communication. If we are not able to access the most current version of an assignment or know first thing if a class is canceled,
it’s easy to waste time, and in college, time is the last thing we want to waste. While technology seems to be taking over our lives and hindering our relationships, it is something that, when properly utilized, can increase our productivity and help us succeed. The problem is that people overuse technology in ways that tend to hold us back instead of ways that build us up. We need to learn how to limit our time scrolling, especially when we are with others. As a society, we need to look up every once in a while to embrace the present moment, because the people you spend your time with will end up having a greater and more positive impact on your life than the hundreds of followers you do not even know.
Obesity: An American epidemic By Dylan Lord Staff Writer
“Fat culture” in America has always been something I’ve wanted to discuss. I’ve kept quiet, but when I found out that an obese woman named Tess Munster was being signed on as a model, I knew I needed to speak out. Before we get started, let’s get something clear. This is not an attack on people who are obese; I could not care less about what they do. What I have a problem with is this culture that tries to push the ludicrous idea that being overweight is perfectly healthy and acceptable. I am fully aware that there are medical conditions that cause an increase the risk of obesity, and for those an exception should be made but the exceptions stop there. Aside from medical disorders, being overweight is the culmination of bad life choices. Any rational individual would change their lifestyle to lose weight, but some choose to not
only defend their choices but also promote them throughout society. There’s no other way of putting it: America is in a health crisis. A third of American adults are overweight with another third being obese. The statistics for children are less severe but still no less horrifying with a third of children
fight this; in fact, it can be argued that the government has actually helped fat culture and obesity as a whole. For example, in 2013 the CDC declared obesity a disease. For some that is true; but, for most, by declaring obesity to be a disease, you absolve the responsibility of those who have it. Humans have an innate nature to
There’s no other way of putting it: America is in a health crisis. between 6 and 19 either overweight or obese. Looking at American culture, it is not hard to see how we ended up here. America is a society of abundance. Cheap, unhealthy food designed to be delicious is constantly shoved in our faces through various advertisements such as billboards, TV commercials, radio, and online media. The American government has done little to
blame their problems on anything or anyone beside themselves, and the declaration of obesity as a disease makes the problem worse. Obese people can now place blame it on the “disease” they have rather than the lifestyle choices that make them obese. All these factors have contributed to the creation of fat culture. A movement dedicated to defending the concept of a fat lifestyle and promoting it as
a completely acceptable lifestyle both socially and physically. It has taken on a level of political correctness such that any type of criticism, legitimate or not, is silenced and derided as “fat shaming.” Fat shaming is a concept used by those who support fat culture, this term helps remove the responsibility for their own actions, making it seem like they are the targets of deliberate discrimination. I argue that there is no “shaming” involved in pointing out the facts because when you are obese, your life is in jeopardy. Studies conducted by various institutions have proven the links between obesity and serious diseases like heart disease and diabetes. With this knowledge, America needs to take action rather than condone the lifestyle that leads to obesity.

FOX News: Beware of biased reporting and propaganda
Hillary Clinton: A history of scandals
By Omar Hourani
By Gabriel Johnson
Staff Writer
I don’t mind conservatism — the right does have some valid points. I don’t mind opinionated media — hence this article. What I do mind is “news” media that claims to be objectively “fair and balanced,” then manipulatively portrays nothing but blatant Republican propaganda. Whether you lean left or right, this deception should be a grave concern; the role of news is to deliver raw information, not ideologically-charge it to suit some political agenda. In Wikipedia, the page “Fox News Channel controversies” is longer than the actual “Fox News Channel” page; the main page itself has a “controversies” section that’s locked for being “too long.” There are also numerous books and documentaries that criticize Fox. Therefore, this abridged article is only a scratch on the surface, and I recommend further research to discover the truly appalling details. There have been extensive studies done by universities and media watchdogs, which generally showed that Fox viewers were more misinformed (not uninformed) than others, and more hours watching Fox coincided with more misconceptions. One study by Farleigh Dickinson University even found that Fox viewers were more misinformed than people who didn’t watch news at all. Another report shows that 68% of Fox cable stories contained one-sided personal opinions. In terms of guests, reports show a ratio of 25 conservatives: 3 non-conservatives. The nonconservatives brought in are weak, and pose as the liberal straw-man/punching bag, giving the illusion that both sides are being represented. The next time you watch Fox, keep a lookout for these filters through which information is presented: racial bias, xenophobia, islamophobia, transphobia, homophobia, anti-abortion, anti-gun control, anti-Iran Deal, creationism, libertarianism, and climatechange denial (each of which comes with a myriad of examples). In fact, a report by the Union of Concerned Scientists claims that 93% of Fox’s climate-change coverage was misleading. Fox’s racial bias is
itself an extensive discussion, but it is clear that Fox denies recent instances of police brutality and racism, ridicules the Black-Lives-Matter movement, and instead calls it “war on law enforcement.” Libertarian rhetoric comes from its rejection of several government aid programs (social security, welfare, affordable healthcare), supporting pro-rich policies like corporate tax cuts, calling the poor “free-loaders” and
[FOX] claims to be objectively “fair and balanced,” then manipulatively portrays nothing but blatant Republican propaganda. “moochers,” and the country a “Nation of Entitlement.” Whether you espouse or reject any of these biases, it is still concerning that news has any filters whatsoever. What is the source of bias? One book, The Fox Effect: How Roger Ailes Turned the Network into a Propaganda Machine, blames current Fox CEO Roger Ailes, who was the media consultant of three Republican presidents. A documentary called “Outfoxed” interviewed former Fox employees, who mentioned internal memos instructing them on how to report news with strictly conservative rhetoric. These employees said that they were shocked how they were ordered to abandon legitimate news for “Republican, right wing propaganda.” This political favoritism ties to the owner’s business interests with Republicans; Bloomberg News reported that Fox was the largest corporate donor to the Republican Governor’s Association. Larry King calls Fox “a Republican brand…an extension of the Republican Party.” Republican favoritism is clear, and ridiculing Democrats is even clearer: it’s impossible to find news that favors them. Fox promoted conspiracy theories against Democrats, such as Obama’s Muslim ties and birth, as well as blame for Benghazi. Fox is
constantly critical of Hillary — her email controversy is often the top story, prioritized over all other news in the world. Bernie Sander’s campaign is simply labeled as a “war on capitalism” — he had called Fox “an adjunct of the Republican Party” before. White House officials say: “Fox news is not a news channel…[It] often operates as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party.” Here are some of the more blatant errors they’ve been caught with. There’s photo manipulation, where they photo-shopped people they don’t like to make them look ugly. There’s video manipulation, where small crowds for Bachmann, Palin, and Tea Party events were made to look bigger by adding older footage of other bigger crowds. They were caught switching party affiliation labels (from R to D) when a Republican elite is embroiled in a public scandal — too many times at too convenient times to be simply coincidental mistakes. They’ve been caught manipulating statistics: one specific case was a Rasmussen Reports Poll that totaled 120% (Ironic, since the poll claimed that the majority thought scientists falsified climate research to support some agenda). There is also outright wrong information, such as the “fact” that several European cities were dominated by Muslims living in “no-go zones.” Several European leaders were angered at the wrong statements, and the mayor of Paris threatened to sue Fox. How does Fox counter all this criticism? It calls it “liberal bias” and “liberal propaganda.” With election time approaching, it is crucial now that Americans are aware whether their news outlets are exposing them to raw, honest information — or partisan one-sided indoctrination intended to brainwash viewers and divisively sway them towards one political party. My advice to Fox is not to try to become more impartial with its news; instead, change the name to “Fox Republican Channel,” and abandon the “Fair and Balanced” motto.

When deciding between the self-proclaimed socialist, Bernie Sanders, or the moderate Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party must choose whether it will move further left with Sanders, or place their bets on Hillary, who has been defined by numerous scandals. At their own peril, the Democratic
[Hillary’s] numerous scandals…should lead one to question whether she should be entrusted with the most powerful position of all: President of the United States of America. Party has unabashedly thrown their support behind Mrs. Clinton. With the allegations against Hillary’s aide, Hillary’s deleted email server, her failure to protect our ambassador in Libya while she was Secretary of State, and her involvement in the Whitewater real estate scandal, Hillary will face an uphill battle in 2016 if she wins the nomination. Let’s take a step back and take a look at Hillary’s less-discussed history. Born October 26, 1947, Hillary was raised in Park Ridge, Illinois by her affluent parents, Hugh and Dorothy Rodham. In her younger years, she was very active in young Republican groups. She even campaigned for the Republican presidential nominee, Barry Goldwater, in 1964. However, she switched her affiliation to the Democratic Party in 1968. It is purported that she made this change in response to the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. Despite the fact that southern Democrats opposed and filibustered the Republicansponsored Civil Rights bill in Congress, Hillary still
embraced the Democratic Party as her own. Immersing herself in Washington politics, Hillary worked as an attorney for the House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate Scandal. Hillary was fired, however, by her supervisor, lifelong Democrat Jerry Zeifman. When asked in an interview why Zeifman fired Hillary, he said, “Because she was a liar. She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer, she conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the Committee, and the rules of confidentiality.” Years later, Hillary married Bill Clinton, who successfully ran for President in 1992. Though her husband had multiple illicit affairs during his Presidency, he eventually admitted to and apologized for his wrongdoings. Hillary, however, has not admitted to or even begun to apologize for her scandals. Take for instance the Clinton Foundation, which has accepted donations from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Germany, Australia, and even a Canadian government agency which has been pushing for the passage of the Keystone pipeline. How will Hillary defend green energy alternatives when her foundation fund is receiving donations from agencies pushing for oil and natural gas energy? How can she advocate for women’s rights while her foundation receives money from some of the world’s most oppressive regimes? Hillary’s history is littered with double standards and scandals. While she may have a long list of titles and positions, her numerous scandals associated with those positions should lead one to question whether she should be entrusted with the most powerful position of all: President of the United States of America. The American people need a President they can trust, not another dishonest politician.

the grilled options students are used to. “I believe that the changes that Campbell has been making shows that they care about their students,” said Sita Chandra, a senior health communication studies and Spanish double major, “For that, I’m Campbell proud because they are constantly finding ways to make a healthier, safer and better University.” There will also be a few changes in restaurant
choices available on campus this year. In December, Jole Mole will be no longer be a part of campus dining and it will be replaced by a salad option called Greens To-Go. Additionally, Campbell will welcome Moe’s Southwest Grill, which will be moving into the previous location of Quiznos and is expected to open in October of this year. As students returned to campus, the upgrades to Main Street, such as the gateway sign along the road,
were completed along with renovations and touch-ups to Burkot Hall and Bob Barker Hall.

already began to continue here at Campbell. As for his plans for this year, Creed acknowledged that this is “a time to listen and to learn” for him, but said he plans on having a “qualitative focus on enriching the student experience” at Campbell. Specifically, Creed said he and the administration will be “assessing…the capacity with our facilities, and making improvements in retention, academic support services, and student activities.”
When asked about the possibility of a new student center for Campbell, Creed said such a project “could play a role” in the larger goal of “improving student life, and enriching the student experience,” and the subject has been explored in talks with SGA officers and others. Creed acknowledges that he inherited the office at a time of growth in Campbell’s history, and he said he sees this as “a great opportunity.” “This is a great

questions about their lives and Campbell is a place where those questions can be explored and answered,” explained Creed. “One thing I like about Campbell is it is a school that gives students great opportunities,” Creed said, also pointing out the mascot as his favorite. “I’ve cheered for the Bears and the Bulldogs, but the Camel is by far the most distinctive, alluring mascot that I’ve ever been associated with. I love it.”

will take place during part of winter break, and students will work with the Church of the Pilgrims and local volunteer organizations. “It’s easy to get distracted because the college setting is so conducive to the ‘me, me, me’ mindset,” said junior biochemistry major Jordan Jackson, who has attended the trip to Washington, DC. “When you go somewhere that’s a little unfamiliar, it opens your eyes…when you put yourself in an unfamiliar place…you have to really pay attention to what is happening and who’s around you.” During Spring Break, students will have the chance to travel to Cuba and minister through a sports camp with the assistance of the N.C. Baptist men and the Eastern Baptist Convention of Cuba. “While in Cuba, we were able to interact with many of the local Christians doing various activities such as VBS and speaking at different services,” said Sarah Arnold, a junior clinical research major. “One of my favorite things we did while in Cuba was the door to door evangelism. We were able to actually enter into many of the Cubans’ homes and share with them the love of Christ.” This year in Cape Town, South Africa, students will have the opportunity to work with Living Hope and minister through afterschool programming, health clinics, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, and volunteer work in the

Barcelona Orphanage. “The group I went with was truly a Godsend, He hand-picked each one of us to balance each other out,” said junior special education major Emily Bales. “Everyone brought something different to the table that we were able to put to good use while we were in South Africa.” Students leave each trip being impacted just as much, if not more, than the people being ministered to. “It always seems to me that I come back more changed than what we bring to these places,” said Jordan Tripp, a third-year divinity student at Campbell pursuing a Master of Divinity. “We go and we work with amazing organizations and meet some amazing people and we learn from them what it means to be a Christian in their context.” Campus Ministry wants to stress to students that issues with financing the trip should not be a reason that keeps them from going. “I sent out letters to families in my church and people that have impacted my life growing up. In the letters I explained what my trip was and where I was going and what I was hoping to accomplish while gone,” said Bales. “The donations came pouring in, and then, of course, I did a lot of babysitting.” Students can find applications, contact information, as well as answers to other questions by contacting campus ministry graduate assistant Jordan Tripp at cmgrad1@campbell.edu

In all, 77.87 percent (95 of 122) of Campbell Law’s first-time testers passed the exam, while three repeat examiners succeeded. “Despite the fact that our bar passage rate has decreased from last year, we firmly believe that we are faring as well as we possibly can given the steady decline in the overall passage rate in North Carolina over the past several years,” said Campbell Law Dean J. Rich Leonard. “The bar passage rate has become increasingly challenging in our state, and it’s having an impact on everyone. We continue to believe in our faculty, our curriculum, and our bar preparation methods.”

September is National Ovarian Cancer month, which is very dear to the Sigma Alpha Omega sorority, since it’s their philanthropy. SAO started off the month big by spreading awareness on September 4, National Wear Teal Day because teal is the color that commemorates ovarian cancer. Junior pharmaceutical science major, Allison Lewis, a member of SAO, shared what she enjoyed most about spreading awareness for ovarian cancer: “Just surprising people about the facts and how rare it is, [and] how there aren’t many treatments [for it].” Each year, approximately 20,000 people in the U.S. get ovarian cancer. All women are at risk for ovarian cancer, and 90% of women who get ovarian cancer are older than 40 years old. Symptoms are
hard to detect (abnormal bleeding, pain/pressure in the pelvic area, back pain, bloating, feeling full quickly). Ovarian cancer is the 8th most common cancer, and 5th leading cause of death (source: cdc. gov/cancer). Women who have had children or taken birth control pills reduce their risk of ovarian cancer (source: ovariancancer.org) Lewis shared how the Campbell community can get in on the action Photo by Rod Days Sigma Alpha Omega tabled for ovarian cancer awareness. this month: “Spreading awareness to their friends and family, going to get you not only meet girls often think to myself, checked up if they have who become such a big ‘How would my life change any of the symptoms and part of your heart, but if my best friend, my sororparticipating in the activiyou also start to take a ity sister, my mom, or my ties that we do.” stand for a cause that you grandma was affected by “As a member of Sigma strongly believe in.” ovarian cancer?’ When I Alpha Omega, nothClark said, “As a sister in think about how drastically ing brings me greater joy SAO, we believe in spread- my life would be altered, than having the opporing awareness to women it pushes me even harder tunity to take the month who might not be aware of to help spread the word to of September and use it the history behind ovarian other women on campus.” to help spread awareness cancer.

Camels in the mission field By Katlyn Clark Features Editor
A few of Campbell’s own students spent their summers serving in the mission field, both in the States and out of the country. Here is an inside look at the some of the journeys this summer. Taylor Ratley, Senior Religion major Ratley went back to South Africa for a second time to
work with the Living Hope Organization. “During our first visit, they expressed a need for new photographs to be taken so that they could better convey what their mission is and how they were working along with Living Hope’s scripture that says, ‘For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in. I needed clothes

I was in prison and you came to visit me’ (Genesis 26:35-36).” “This was a unique mission trip because it was not what you would typically consider a mission trip. We were not building houses or doing a VBS. We were, instead, doing humanitarian photography. But this was a need, and thankfully, we were able to meet it,” said Ratley. “Kendall Tart (who Photo courtesy of Maggie Baker Students grow in Christ at the Summer Orlando Project. graduated from Campbell last year) and I went together to South Africa last “The highlight of this us hugs was amazing, and year with Campbell and we trip was definitely seeing [it was also amazing] seeboth had the longing and all of our friends from the ing the improvements they desire to go back.

Netflix bingeing based on your major By Katlyn Clark Features Editor
Let me guess: It has been a rough week, hasn’t it? With a mountain of work congregating on the edge of your desk and deadlines riding your back, you need an escape. Well, the medication you need is simple: Netflix. Now, you may be wondering what to watch. That’s why I’ve looked at some of the top shows streaming on Netflix and arranged them according to college majors. If you’re majoring in something that you’re interested in, then it only makes sense that you’d be interested in a show that correlates well with your major!
Criminal Justice: Burn Notice I bet you expected the typical Law & Order, NCIS, or Criminal Minds. Well, that’s why I didn’t say it. The title of this series refers to the burn notices that intelligence agencies issue to dismiss their agents/spies. When spies are burned, their connection to the agency is completely terminated, along with their access to money, influence, and identity. After escaping an operation in Nigeria and being kidnapped and beaten, Burn Notice’s main character—Michael Weston—finds himself burned and relocated in his hometown of Miami, FL. Tended to by his crazy

ex-trigger happy-girlfriend and accompanied by his snitch-buddy, Weston goes to extraordinary efforts to hunt down the person who burned him. Meanwhile, he reluctantly assumes the role as an unlicensed private investigator that helps everyday citizens with their not-so-everyday issues. Pre-Law: How to Get Away with Murder Annalise Keating—a prominent defense attorney and professor at Middleton
University—selects five interns for her law firm: Wes Gibbons, Michaela Pratt, Asher Millstone, Conner Walsh, and Laurel Castillo. While Season 1 introduces a few clients through flashbacks, it mainly focuses on two significant murders: Lila Stangard—a student and mistress of Keating’s husband, Sam—and Sam Keating, at the hands of Annalise’s interns. While the first half of the season shows the progression of events leading to the death of Annalise’s husband, the second half explores her attempt to help her interns cover up this murder while exposing her husband’s responsibility in the death of Lila Stangard. Season 2 begins on September 24.
Pre-Med: Grey’s Anatomy Grey’s Anatomy is a medical drama that has aired 11 seasons thus far. It focuses on the lives of surgical interns and residents as they mature into seasoned doctors, while trying to juggle their personal lives and relationships. The show probably won’t get you into medical school; however, it does illustrate some medical fascinations—though most of the ladies’ fascination will be with McDreamy and McSteamy. There’s no doubt that at some point you will be emotionally victimized by Shonda Rhimes, the creator of the show. So, my best advice is to strap that seatbelt See Netflix, Page 10

on Friday, September 25 at 6pm in the LundyFetterman School of Business, room 147. Senior history major Velinda Basallo is the chair of this event. She said, “It will serve as an information night for girls on campus who may know next to nothing about ovarian cancer. It’s an underfunded

disease that doesn’t get the attention it deserves, but it’s still the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women.” At the social, they hope to have a survivor speak about her fight against ovarian cancer. “This event is important to me because, like I said before, not many people know about this disease. Before I joined SAO, I had no idea how serious ovarian cancer was,” said Basallo. “Many women die every year because they caught the disease too late, but by being familiar with the signs and symptoms and by understanding your body and what’s normal for it, more women [could] discover the cancer before it spreads. The event is
important because people don’t want to talk candidly about reproductive disease; it makes them uncomfortable. This social will hopefully provide an outlet for that discussion.” SAO will be tabling on Tuesdays and Wednesdays every week in September to discuss ovarian cancer.
Campus Outreach, which is the ministry that runs SOP (Summer Orlando Project),” said Weidner on how she learned about SOP. “The mission of SOP is to teach students to live in community, to study the word intentionally, and to learn how to share their faith,” said Weidner, “A moment, well actually two moments, that will continue to stay in my heart were when two of my roommates came to Christ the same night. I am so thankful to have grown with these two girls over the summer and it was a true blessing.” Weidner shared her experience serving at SOP, “The SOP is an opportunity to give eight weeks of your summer and truly devote them to following Christ. SOP places you outside of your comfort zone, tests your limits, and helps you feel God working in your life.” Maggie Baker, Senior Broadcasting major “I desired to go on SOP because I had been one time before and it was the best summer of my life. I was asked to be a room leader and wanted to give other girls that same experience,” said Baker about serving at SOP. “The mission of the SOP is for people to grow
their relationship with God by learning about him in a fun and healthy context,” said Baker, “It seeks to teach college students how to love God in a college context and in a work environment.” “One memory that will stay with me was when one of the girls in my room became a believer early into the summer. It was amazing to watch God transform her life right in front of my eyes in just 8 weeks,” said Baker. “Students should take advantage of their summer opportunities to serve because they are fleeting moments,” said Baker, “Now that I’m a senior, I see how lucky I have been to be able to goof off for so many summers in a row and I wished I hadn’t wasted any. You will never get another time in your life to grow like you will serving God in a significant way during a summer service trip. I would recommend it for all college students!” A great opportunity to seek out in the mission is taking a look at the mission trips that Campbell’s campus ministry provides. There are three trips this year that will go to Washington, D.C., Cuba, and South Africa. There are more details located in the Campus Ministry section on Campbell’s website.

on and get ready for this emotional rollercoaster. Business: Mad Men Focused on the lives of those who work in a successful NYC advertising agency in the 1960s, this series gives insight into the glamorous and not-so-glamorous experiences of the business world. Although enjoying success, the advertising game becomes far more competitive than anticipated, and the agency must adapt to ensure its survival. At the heart of the agency is Don Draper, a talented executive at the top of his game, who battles with the secrets of his past and present, which threaten to topple his professional and personal lives.
Political Science: House of Cards Set in our nation’s capital, House of Cards focuses on the life of Frank Underwood—a Democrat from South Carolina’s 5th congressional district—who devises an elaborate scheme to get himself into a position of higher power. The series deals primarily with the typical Washington themes: ruthless pragmatism, manipulation, and power. Now, don’t get me wrong; I’m not saying that binge watching these series are going to help you be valedictorian, but at least you’ll have a valid explanation for your Netflix addiction.

play. During both seasons, the teams were able to get off to hot starts during their early course of their schedules. In 1993, the team won the first five of their first six games, in which four of those victories were shutouts. During the first six games of the 2011 season, the team won four of the games. Each of the first four victories were recorded shutouts for the team. I believe that the team and Coach Horne have a lot to look forward to for the 2015 season based on early success from previous seasons. The 2015 squad already has four victories, three of which were shutouts. I believe that if

to a Big South conference title. The first couple of games in the 1993 and 2011 season started out with shutouts just like this early start of the 2015 season. I look forward to seeing the progress that Horne will achieve during the 2015 season. The team is already 4-1 on the season, and I can’t wait to see how the team does during conference play. Good luck to Coach Stuart Horne and the team for the remainder of the season.

BRIEFS
The Campbell Times
Football wins 35-3 against Chowan Campbell wins their second home game of the season 35-3 against the Chowan University Hawks Saturday night. The Camels took the lead quickly in the first quarter thanks to senior Ben Bolling with a touchdown. Before the first quarter could end, red-shirt freshman Aaron Blockman scored a 17 yard touchdown. In the second quarter, red-shirt senior Ricky Brown and red-shirt junior Damon Simmons both scored touchdowns thanks to passes thrown by red-shirt sophomore David Salmon, a quarterback reserve. This led the Camels to go into halftime with a score of 28-0. In the second half, after the Hawks scored a field goal to make the score 28-3, red-shirt sophomore Angelo Crawford-Reid scored a touchdown for the camels with 19 seconds left in the fourth quarter. This brought the camels to their win 35-3.
Campbell Golf wins Golfweek Program Challenge titles Women’s Golf won the women’s team trophy during the Golfweek Program Challenge and the Men’s Golf finished sixth. Junior Nadine White set school 35- (137) and 54hole (70-67-70 – 207) record for her first collegiate career victory.

Crema given Big South honor By Devin McCray Staff Writer
Senior volleyball player Mary Crema was awarded the Preseason Big South All Conference honor for the second year in a row. Last season, Crema played in every set for 31 matches, tallied 41 aces and hit her career high of 40 digs against Radford. Crema transferred to Campbell University three years ago, arriving at the same time as head
coach Greg Goral. “Since I have been at Campbell, Crema has done a great job anchoring our defense,” said Goral. “Her leadership helps her teammates play at a high level every game. Our players decide how successful the program will be with their effort, focus, execution and determination. This not only helps them in volleyball, but life in general.” During her career at Campbell, Crema has always held a leadership
role and had a significant impact on the defensive end on the court. “It is nice to be recognized and get awarded Preseason Big South All Conference for the second time; however, I have nothing to prove and it’s not as important as our overall team success,” said Crema. The most difficult challenge of this season is to get the young players to fill their role because many of them are playing positions they have
never played before. “I took Kayla Schanback under my wing because she is great player that has a lot of potential,” said Crema. “Once she gets comfortable with her role, she may even be better than me because of her work ethic. I can’t wait to see how far the program advances when I come back and watch games over the next couple of years.” Crema knows what is See Crema, Page 11
Opinion: Looking forward with Coach Horne By Matthew Sokol Sports Editor
Campbell women’s soccer team head coach Stuart Horne is now in his second year as head coach, and is looking to build upon the seed he planted last season in 2014. This year, the team is off to a great start with a record of 4-1. The Camels started the season off with a victory at Richmond, where they recorded a 1-0 victory. They then went on to defeat Albany at home
with a score of 4-3 in overtime. The team then fell to Davidson in a tight match at home in their next game, 1-0. In their next two games, senior goalie Alexis Connors was able to record two shutouts at home against South Carolina State with a score of 1-0 and at Western Carolina with a score of 2-0, in addition to the first shutout against Richmond. In the Campbell women’s soccer program history, the team has made a conference semifinals game six
times, and has won their conference finals game twice. In 1995 (TAAC West), 2005 (Atlantic Sun), 2011 (Big South) and finally with their latest appearance in 2014 (Big South), the Camels made the semifinals finishing as runner-ups. In 1993, the team went on to win their conference as the Big South Champion. In 2004, they went on to become the Atlantic Sun Champions. During the 1993 and 2011 seasons, the Camels were very successful,
finishing with great success in tournament play. During the 1993 season, head coach Rick Helms led the team to a Big South Champion title after going 12-7-1 on the season, and 4-3-0 in conference play. In the 2011 season, head coach Todd Clark led the team to the semifinals where they finished as the Big South Runner-ups. Overall, on the 2011 season, the team went 15-5-2 and 7-1-2 in conference See Horne, Page 11
