VOICING THE PAIN Campbell hosts its second annual Sexual Assault Awareness Week

By Rachel Rock Staff Writer

Feb. 3 marks the beginning of the second annual Sexual Assault Awareness Week.

During this week, the Campbell community learns

about sexual assault crimes and resources for victims of those crimes.

Sexual crimes are an uncomfortable topic for some individuals, but the Sexual Assault Awareness Committee said they want to be

frank about the topic to allow victims to feel comfortable to come forward and seek help.

Dr. Catherine Cowling, a criminal justice professor at Campbell, and a member of both the Sexual Assault Awareness Week Committee

and the Clothesline Project Committee, said, “It is important to know that college students are at a great risk of sexual assault.”

Health center increases medical staff

By Catherine Ardoin Feature Editor

Because of Campbell University’s School of Osteopathic Medicine, the university’s Health Center has undergone several changes and improved its services.

Prior to the medical school

opening, a physician’s assistant (PA) was available to treat students at the CU Health Center on T. T. Lanier Street during normal business hours. But with the addition of the new Osteopathic School, has come also an additional staff of students and physicians to treat patients

Physicians are on call for extended hours, so students have someone to contact outside of operating hours.

According to Dr. Nicholas Pennings, who became Director of Campbell’s Health Center in August 2013, the beginning of the medical

school brought in highly skilled medical professionals who can provide students with excellent medical care.

“Many of the physicians are professors of medicine, and are Board certified, and they are respected leaders in

After 100 days as Vice President of Academic Affairs and Provost, our former Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences says he is more comfortable and confident in his new role.

“I began to understand that I am accustomed to the responsibilities and challenges that come with this office,” Hammond Hammond, appointed in September, said.

All of the deans of Campbell report to Hammond. He is also responsible for the university’s accreditation, as well as playing a role in deciding prospective new programs here.

In addition to his provost duties, he is also a professor of biology.

“I remember so well hiring him to become an assistant professor of biology,” President of Campbell University Dr. Jerry Wallace said. “I saw him as a very fine man who would do well at Campbell.”

Hammond’s role as professor is what he said allows him to close the gap between provost and students.

“I haven’t given up that most direct contact which is that faculty role. I still enjoy teaching freshman biology See PROVOST page 6

Multiple Campbell University organizations plan to highlight Black History Month in on-campus activities.

On Feb. 5, in the Alumni Room of Marshbanks Dining Hall at 5:30 p.m., the Campbell University Gospel Choir will host a dinner to commemorate Black History Month.

The President of the CU Gospel Choir, Junior Shuntaria Wood, majoring in mathematics with teacher licensure, said this will be the second year the dinner has been held.

During the dinner the choir will host Dr. George B. Jackson, pastor and CEO/founder of Citadel Faith Ministries, as well as the founder of the MLK-Social Action Committee.

“Dr. Jackson is a civil rights activist and he’s very passionate about what he does,” Wood said. “I did not want to limit him to any particular message, I wanted him to come from the heart. I’ve heard him speak many times before, and I know that his message will be uplifting to us.”

The CU Gospel choir said they are excited to welcome Jackson to their event.

by Feb. 7 to partake.

Campus Activity Board (CAB) has also planned a few events in honor of Black History Month through speakers and a scavenger hunt.

The Speakers series will start Feb. 11 in Turner Auditorium and will recur the following two Tuesdays.

The speakers will highlight topics related to black history as well as a lecture on hip-hop.

Director of student life Chris O’Connor said, “The hip-hop lecture and the other two lectures will be something that we have never done before, it’s also more of an academic component to CAB.” One of the speakers is Freddie L. Parker, a history professor at North Carolina Central University.

For the scavenger hunt, CAB will post clues on their social media sites to search for Black History Month related items.

“We are excited that we have a full slate planned for this month and this is the most active that the Diversity committee has been with Black History Month. They have big events set each week and we hope to have a great turnout,” O’Connor said.

Also, every Wednesday throughout the month of

February the African American Studies Club will host a special event.

The group will film a documentary for Campbell Now! TV called, “What Does Black History Mean to Me” and participate in the first part of “Alex Halley’s Queen” on Feb. 5.

The following two Wednesdays, they will watch the documentary and the rest of the “Alex Halley’s Queen”.

On Feb. 26, the African American Studies Club will host Wendy Roundtree, a professor at North Carolina Central University.

Each of the events will take place in Kivett room 204.

President of the African American studies club and junior communication studies Jordan Armstead said, “We hope that through [learning about] black history, [African Americans] will find a sense of empowerment from their own culture. We want them to be more well-rounded since we are a liberal arts college.”

Vice president of the club and junior biology major Kaitlyn Blackburn said, “A lot of great things happened that we need to look upon and pay homage to. A lot of people sacrificed their lives for us to have the opportunities that we have

today. I think that this month especially we need to look at those things and pay honor to them, and show our pride as African Americans, this is where we came from.”

Blackburn said she feels society should recognize the importance of black history year-round.

“Black History Month is celebrated in February but we should be mindful throughout the year not to limit this to one month.” Blackburn said.

“If we are going to celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King or Rosa Parks, we should celebrate that all throughout the year.”

The club’s president said the African American Studies Club has begun an initiative to research multiple ethnicities.

“Even though February is seen nationally as Black History Month, we, as the African American Studies Club, do not limit ourselves to only black history,” Armstead said.

“We acknowledge Caucasian, Latino, and Indian history. We welcome all majorities and minorities. We want them to feel welcomed with us as well.

I want to see it more than just beyond what race is, there is only one race and that is the human race.”

Bacon day postponed Due to inclement weather, CAB’s Bacon Day was postponed to Feb. 6.

Students may still receive a T-shirt and various assortments of bacon at the event.

The festival will involve eight choirs from across the state from several different denominations.

Our View

Awareness allows greater voices This editorial is a response to the article ‘Voicing the pain’

By Courtney Schultz Editor In Chief

It’s refreshing and uplifting to see that Campbell University will observe a second annual Sexual Assault Awareness Week.

Sexually-related crimes are an uncomfortable topic for many individuals because sexuality is a personal matter, but Campbell presents the topic in an informative and compassionate manner.

CU’s Sexual Assault Awareness Committee allows the CU community’s voices to be heard in a variety of outlets. “Take Back the Night,” entails a walk to protest the shame often placed upon sexual violence victims, and the “Clothesline Project,” will showcase T-shirts with mes-

sages against violent offenders.

The Committee’s main message is to urge individuals who have experienced sexual violence to come forward and get help, and especially not to suffer the aftermath of the attack alone. They encourage students—particularly women—to know their personal boundaries in relationships and to feel comfortable saying “no” to someone who crosses those limits.

Though these boundaries are acknowledged, they are often disregarded in our society.

People tend to blame and/or shame victims of sexual assault crimes, letting offenders claim the victim’s dress or actions solicited the contact.

Some people assert a woman is “asking for it” when she dresses in a scantily-clad dress on a night out. Again, the blame is placed on the victim: Why would she dress that way if she wasn’t looking for sex?

Because she is a human being who has the right to dress however she pleases without any necessary consent or comment of any bystander.

“Slut Walks,” are also held in the United States. These walks are similar to “Take Back the Night” except the walks contain victims of sexual violence who have been shamed because they are victims. The victims are branded “sluts” because they were sexually abused or assaulted.

Who decided it was always the victim’s fault for his or her circumstances? When did victim precipitation take control of the way society views the sexual assault victim?

Because of the way society shames the victim, numerous individuals, feeling guilty and humiliated, do not report these crimes.

Society needs to encourage sexual assault victims to step forward and share their

experiences. If the assault is not reported, authorities cannot reprimand the offender.

The offender may believe their behavior is acceptable and hurt other women.

No person deserves to suffer through a sexual assault, and the Sexual Assault Awareness Committee wants you to know that you don’t have to suffer the aftermath alone.

Many victims are plagued with self-hate, depression, and humiliation after sexual violence.

The effects of sexual assault do not end with the incident itself, but can last for years.

We need to allow these victims to have a voice. With the many outlets to alleviate the aftermath of such an incident, victims of sexual assault crimes can begin to heal and reach out to others.

Study Abroad Column

Stepping outside the norm

By Hannah Shackelford Study Abroad Representative

Study abroad provides lifechanging, career forming experiences. It equips you with academic credits and a unique addition to your resume.

The Office of Study Abroad at Campbell University can help you find the perfect trip for your needs and interests.

There are some amazing and exceptional study abroad programs available to college students.

The Food Studies Program at The Umbra Institute in Italy focuses on the culture, art, and chemistry of the Mediterranean diet.

Students also run their own restaurants while learning the Italian language and skill of cooking fine Italian food. You can also take an extra class of your own choosing about anything from agriculture to sociology.

This all adds up to earn you 14-18 credits in a semester.

If you are not a foodie, perhaps you think of yourself as more of a pirate.

On a SEA Semester program, you become an essential part of the crew of a ship and learn basic sailing techniques.

Although you will not pillage and plunder, you can earn 17-18 credits for classes like

For upperclassmen who are looking for something above and beyond, there are programs like SIT Study Abroad and EuroScholars.

SIT offers programs in diverse locations like Nepal, Madagascar, and Switzerland with a wide range of intensive and unique programs combined with service learning.

For example, you can earn 16 credits studying topics like Tropical Ecology, Marine Ecosystems, and Biodiversity Conservation in Panama.

Program options also include working with organizations in social movements, post-conflict transformation, and global health.

EuroScholars offers opportunities for science majors to become junior researchers at top universities in locations

such as Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland.

Students earn 15 credits while doing their own research project and assisting in world renowned research labs.

EuroScholars programs allow for you to take language and culture courses along with the research projects during a full semester abroad.

sis Center, every two minutes, someone in the United States is sexually assaulted.

For the second year, the special week will contain specific activities to enforce the committee’s message of how sexual assault violence is still a prevalent problem.

The Rape Crisis Center also states one out of every six American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime, and that one out of every 33 American men has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in his lifetime.

The committee wants to make the statistics about sexual violence known, and will display them at their various events throughout the week.

On Monday, there will be a movie viewing and a panel discussion at 7 p.m. in Lynch Auditorium.

The viewing will be an episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit regarding sexual assault on a college campus. A panel of sexual assault crime experts will conduct an interactive discussion with the audience.

On Tuesday, the committee will hold The Clothesline Project reception at 7 p.m. in Rumley Center. “[The Clothesline Project is] a project to address violence against women,” Amy Johnson of Counseling Services said.

Before the event commences, students are invited to decorate or submit T-shirts reflecting the feelings of a sexual assault victim, or an empowering message condemning sexual violence.

According to Johnson, the most inspiring event is Take

Back the Night, which will occur on Wednesday at 7 p.m. outside of the Convocation Center.

Johnson said, “[Take Back the Night is an event that] will include both a rally and march across campus, and will conclude with a candlelight vigil outside of Butler Chapel.”

The participants will hold picket signs with messages protesting the growing number of sexual assault victims.

Campus Grill will host fundraisers on both Wednesday Night and Thursday afternoon from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Proceeds will go to SAFE of Harnett County.

SAFE of Harnett County, Inc., is a private, non-profit organization that provides shelter and advocacy services to victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

A representative from SAFE will be at Campus Grill on Thursday as a resource for the community.

On Friday, the committee will hold an all-day Action Day where students are asked to wear teal, the color of sexual assault awareness, and sign a pledge against sexual assault awareness.

The Sexual Assault Awareness Committee said they want to ensure both that the community stands in unity against sexual violence, and that victims can get the help they need.

Freshman Emma Leatherwood said she thinks that Sexual Assault Awareness Week is important.

“A lot of people don’t know what it is and they need to,” Leatherwood said.

She said she is glad that Campbell is not just ignoring the problem, but is taking a stand against sexual assault.

their field,” Pennings said.

Since the medical school’s philosophy focuses primarily on osteopathic medicine, the form of treatment provided at the health center has somewhat changed.

Physicians take a more holistic approach to treatment, and focus on treating the whole patient as opposed to simply the disease or injury ailing him.

There is also greater attention to taking preventative measures rather than being reactive.

“As an MD, you tend to treat a disease in a patient; whereas an osteopathic physician treats the patient with a disease,” Pennings said. “That approach is looking at the whole patient.”

Osteopathic medicine also recognizes the importance of focusing on a person’s health.

The Health Center staff said they will implement programs designed to promote healthy lifestyles such as helping people to quit smoking or lose weight. Physicians can create programs tailored to individuals and their lifestyles, so as to

increase the likelihood of the patient’s success.

Another change came to the Health Center when they opened an in-house pharmacy where most medications can be picked up at no charge to students.

Campbell’s pharmacy students assist the center’s pharmacists with daily operations.

Dr. Andrew Martin, the Medical Director of the Health Center before Pennings, and a sports medicine specialist, created a sports medicine fellowship for medical school graduates.

After completing four years of medical school and their residency, medical professionals can join the fellowship program for a year. This fellowship program allows students to specialize in the area of their choice.

Martin received approval for the sports medicine fellowship at the end of 2013. Applicants for the fellowship are currently in review.

Because Campbell has over 400 student-athletes, and gives students the option to major in athletic training, the sports medicine fellowship is vital.

“We’ve got training rooms that are available [in the Health Center] two days a week,” Martin said. “We also see employees, students, and the community residents for musculoskeletal type injuries.”

Originally, the Health Center catered only to Campbell students. However, due to the changes brought about by the DO school, the center has now been opened to not only university employees, but the community as well.

According to Martin, the center is not currently advertising the extended services in order to allow time for the Health Center to hire additional employees.

“We’re still in the hiring phase right now, so once we get enough staff then we’re going to do more advertising for the community,” Martin said. “So a lot of community [advertising] is just word of mouth right now.”

The Health Center staff said students can expect more changes as the medical school continues to grow and solidify its place no only within the Campbell community, but also the surrounding areas.

Campus Taking the final bow

By Rachel Rock Staff Writer

CU senior music majors do not have to suffer through final exams to complete their major, but rather demonstrate their artistic abilities in concert.

Chair of the Fine Arts Department and a music professor Dr. Ran Whitley said, “All music majors are required to give a senior recital.”

Vocalists and instrumentalists alike have to complete their recitals and perform them for the public.

Depending on the music concentration, the recitals can vary in length.

“Music education majors and composition majors are required to give a 30-minute recital,” Whitley said.

This differs from all other concentrations, such as church music, comprehensive music,

and piano pedagogy, which require students to give a full 60-minute recital. Composition majors also are required to give a full 60-minute recital of their original music.

Preparation for the recital takes careful consideration.

Students and teachers collaboratively decide which music selections should be performed.

Junior church music major Mary Beth Young said, “I started picking [my] repertoire last semester.”

After a year or more of choosing the ideal songs to perform, music majors are ready for their recitals.

As a double major in piano pedagogy and music composition, senior Hannah Stayton is required to perform two recitals.

In February she will have her piano recital, which she

said makes her nervous. Then, in April, she will perform a recital to showcase her original composition. In this setting, other students perform the music she has written.

Stayton said she is most nervous about stage fright and being well prepared.

Music majors say that there are also exciting moments surrounding the senior recital.

The event is a formal occasion.

Young said, “I am most excited for the fancy dress.”

As a symbol of the end of their Campbell musical journey, the seniors take the opportunity to reflect on what they’ve learned and their future plans.

Stayton said, “I have a lot of plans.”

All senior recitals are open to the public for free and held in Scott Concert Hall.

Style tips

to keep leggings classy

Each issue communication studies major and fashionista Marisa Linton will share her latest tips on being fashion-forward and perfecting the outfit of the average college student.

The ten commandments of leggings Leggings: noun. Comfortable, sleek, trendy, and the go-to item for so many college girls. I'm going to be completely honest, I think they are great and feel wonderful, but, BUT they can be a hot mess too. I have seen way too many girls misuse the gift of leggings. So, here are the ten commandments to keep you from lagging into legging sin: 1. The safest thing (and probably the best thing) to do is to wear a tunic style top that covers your butt, hips and touches approximately mid-thigh.

Keep it classy, keep em’ covered.

2. If you are going to wear a top that does not cover your derriere, be sure that it is a chunky top or billowy blouse. The larger top will help balance out the tighter bottoms. This keeps your outfit from looking “painted-on.” I suggest a chunky, cable-knit type sweater.

3. Be sure that your leggings are of a good-quality, thicker-woven material. Thinner (oftentimes cheaper) leggings tend to be or become seethrough, and the world shouldn’t be privileged to see your flesh-colored backside or polka-dotted underwear. Good quality is the way to go and prevents embarrassment.

From Forever 21 $19.80

4. If you are wearing leggings as pants and have a short top on, make sure that the fit is good. Underwear lines are not attractive and neither is a frontal or rear wedgie (no need to show Camel Pride in this way ladies). Keep these things in mind and make sure that you have full coverage.

5. Dark is the way to go—black and navy are the best colors. These colors help to create the illusion of a slimmer, sleeker appearance. Be very careful with prints, as prints may exaggerate your shape.

6. Pair leggings with some kind of boots or ballet flats. Unless you are going to the gym and you are wearing athletic tights, wearing sneakers with leggings is a fashion faux paus.

7. Never—and I repeat—NEVER ever wear leggings as a professional outfit. Put on a skirt or real pants.

8. Don’t wear leggings every day. I know—they are comfortable and provide you the satisfaction that you are wearing real clothes while at the same time feeling like you're in your pajamas. Take the time to put on jeans, or khakis, or a skirt, and don't be remembered as “leggings lady.” You will wear out their welcome.

Wish something were different?

9. If you plan on wearing leggings with a skirt or dress, keep the dress or skirt near mid-thigh, or at least above the knee. For dresses or skirts below the knee, it is better to wear opaque tights.

10. Certain types of legwear leave more to the imagination than do others. Keep this in mind when choosing the right kind for you based on your body type and the occasion. Certain weaves and fabrics can help accentuate or minimize those “certain” areas, so keep this in mind when choosing the right pair for you!

Attention Men: leggings for guys are on the rise. Beware! They are called meggings, and quite frankly I don't recommend them. They may be acceptable for Justin Bieber, or on the runway, but the world of Buies Creek just isn’t ready.

Weekend Update

By LynJosha Russell Sports Editor

Men’s basketball fall short to Coastal Carolina “Get up and get loud!” was the mantra on Saturday morning and the Camel fans did just that. Gore Arena was packed with over 3,220 fans (an arena record) for the nationally televised Men’s Basketball game on ESPNU. Fans witnessed a tight game between the two #1-teams in the Big South Conference.

According to head coach Kevin McGeehan, the crowd kept the team in high spirits. “The excitement definitely leveled the amount of play,” McGeehan said.

However, by halftime, the Camels were behind, 35-32. The camels came back with full force as they took the lead at the beginning of the second half. They delivered many three-pointers to stay in the game.

Golf teams ready to make the putt

By Matt Sokol Staff Writer

The Campbell University men and women’s golf teams are looking forward to building from their success in the fall for the upcoming season.

The men’s team finished second out four teams in the Big South Preview at the Patriot Golf Club in Owasso, Okla.

The women’s team is working on using their success from the Fighting Camel Classic at Keith Hills Golf Club, earning a first place finish out of twelve teams.

Behind the Camels success at Keith Hills was senior Kaylin Yost.

“I believe that this upcoming season will be unforgettable as it's my last semester for college golf. I'm excited to make it the best semester yet and to finish my senior year with a ‘bang’. I believe that if my short game improves and gets better this semester that can help for more success than the fall semester.” Yost said. “I believe that Coach has put us in some new tournaments with outstanding competition that will strive the team to compete our highest level.”

The women’s team will begin this season at the University of Central Florida Challenge at Eagle Country Club Feb. 9.

“The first tournament coming up will be in Orlando and then in Miami,” head coach John Crooks said. “The weather will great there as temperatures are concern, but whether the wind blows hard has a bigger impact on golf then the temperature.”

Crooks said he is excited for the upcoming season based off of performances during the fall semester.

“We had some extremely

great moments in the fall. For example, when Tahnia Ravnjak shot a 66 down in Myrtle Beach to help Campbell win, which was a tour quality performance,” Cooks said.

“If I had to characterize our strength, as a team is that we have a lot of depth and really good players. We don’t have fundamental weakness; we are great ball strikers and putters.

Our goals require excellence and outstanding performances.”

The men will start out at Hilton Head, S.C. in the Wexford Plantation Collegiate Feb. 17.

Senior Amonjyot Singh said he has high hopes for the spring season.

“Everyone is excited about the spring season to start,” Singh said. “Even though the weather has not been favorable so far for practice, we have been practicing inside at Keith Hills. We have learnt a lot from the fall semester and I feel we have grown as a team. Our freshmen in the lineup are well prepared for what to expect in the tournaments and are finely tuned. We are well prepared for this spring semester and looking forward to start it on a good note.”
