Multi-faith dinner asserts worldly view

Debunking The Stress Off

By Sierra Fox Staff Writer

yoga teacher at Campbell, said, “Restorative Yoga takes a more passive approach [than traditional yoga], focusing on poses associated with relaxation, both physical and mental.”

More traditional yoga classes focus on balance and flexibility instead of simply relaxation.

Harmon said, “[Restorative yoga] can help improve sleep, reduce anxiety, and provide a safe way for the body to recover from injury and illness.”

Weaver asserts the class is acceptable for yoga-novice.

G-Force, an interfaith and social justice club on campus, plans to host the “Amazing Faiths Dinner,” a campus-wide event open to everyone at Campbell and the surrounding community.

The event is to take place at 7-9 p.m. April 11. The event will include a dinner, a panel of interfaith speakers, and a question and answer session.

The club stands to give a Shrivastava voice to all students regardless of their faith or lack thereof.

“The goal of the Amazing Faiths Dinner is to show the importance of affirming each other for our [different] beliefs and the universal goal we have for a more peaceful, human existence while still staying true to one’s own unique and personal faith journey,” Zepher said.

The club will present around 10 panelists who will discuss three major issues

Campbell University’s Campus Recreation offers many yoga classes for individuals to learn relaxation and flexion techniques.

FLEX INTO RELAXATION Campus Recreation offers restorative yoga class for faculty, staff

By Rachel Rock Staff Writer

According to a study by the American Psychological Association, almost three-quarters (72 percent) of individuals say their stress level has increased or stayed the same over the past five years and 80 percent say their stress level has increased or stayed the same in the past year.

The study also stated 65 percent of stress came from work.

Campbell University’s Department of Campus Recreation has taken a step to alleviate stress from work specifically for Campbell faculty

and staff.

This semester, the university offers them a restorative yoga class to help relax and focus their minds.

The yoga class is offered 12-1 p.m. on Mondays in the fitness studio of Carter Gym. All faculty and staff of Campbell are invited to enjoy a time to relax.

Dr. Weaver, a biology professor at Campbell, teaches the class.

She has practiced yoga for 14 years and now shares her passion and talents with her colleagues.

Weaver said, “I am offering restorative yoga to faculty and staff because of the on-going

stress we experience in our positions here at Campbell.”

Restorative yoga, unlike other traditional forms of yoga, is more about relaxation and relieving stress.

The instructor said, “[Restorative yoga triggers] the parasympathetic nervous system which changes the hormonal make-up in our blood and leads to a slowing of the heart rate, a strengthening of the immune system, and a settling of the digestive system, among other things.”

According to Weaver, the result of the class increases a person’s physical and emotional state.

Our View

Two minds, one keyboard: Just a thought

By Courtney Schultz and Claudia Mundy

Editor in Chief and Copy Editor

If it weren’t for the two of us, the collaboration of stories, drawings, and photos you hold in your hands Schultz would be far less intelligible.

Throughout the past two years, this duo has spent copious hours editing, re-editing, and sometimes altogether scrapping articles, reviews, editorials, and reports.

We want to take a few columns into our own hands to compile a list of tips on proper writing collated from both an English and journalism major’s standpoint.

With papers’ deadlines approaching and some of us going into the “real world,” where the only editing will be you out of your position if you can’t master these few simple suggestions, we thought we’d provide some guidance to proper writing: 1. Wordiness Be concise and get to the point. Who cares about the word count when you aren’t saying anything?

For a specific example, Dr. Donald Schroeder of Campbell’s political science department says to never write “in order to,” just write “to.”

Avoid these roundabout phrases.

2. That You probably don’t need it.

If I haven’t learned anything else from my adviser, Dr. Michael Ray Smith, I know to never use “that.”

Consider this example: SGA said that they will plan a luau.

SGA said they will plan a luau.

Did you need “that” in there? Didn’t think so. Be wary of its use.

3. Don’t split infinitives An infinitive phrase is simply the word “to” followed by a verb. Oftentimes when editing we read articles which have “split the infinitive” which means they did this: “to egregiously split the infinitive” The phrase should read “to split the infinitive egregiously.”

“To” and its verb have separation anxiety: keep the marriage together.

4. Cliches Haste makes waste for you chatty Cathys who are diamonds in the rough, but here is the writing on the wall.

What goes around comes around and don’t get your knickers in a twist.

Because all’s well that ends well.

Are you scared out of your wits?

5. Bad Southern slang “ You ain’t fixin’ to do anything.”

Do not say you are “fixing” to Mundy do something, unless you are literally, with wrenches, screws, or Krazy Glue, repairing something that’s broken (and I don’t mean your English). You are “preparing” to do [insert activity of choice here], or “in the process of.”

6. “On” the date When writing about an event, you don’t need to write “on” when speaking about a date.

Write: The parade is March 15.

Not: The parade is on March 15.

7. Known-new contract You are probably wondering what this is.

This is a style of writing which helps a writer to be most precise, concise, and coherent. The concept is that you will begin by presenting information the reader already

knows before introducing a new concept or idea. Basically its a way of building from one sentence to the next so that your readers can follow logically along.

Example: Campbell’s mascot is a camel. There are only two surviving species of camels-a dromedary and a Bactrian.

The Bactrian is a camel with one-hump; the dromedary, two. Therefore, Gaylord is a dromedary.

If we only told you Gaylord was a dromedary, you would have no idea what we are talking about.

Since we only introduced new information after known information, these seemingly obscure ideas were easy to comprehend.

8. “Use,” don’t “utilize” “Utilize” will earn you points in Words with Friends, but choose your words wisely when writing.

Using “utilize” makes your writing sound fluffed up.

“Utilize” refers to a practical advantages typically in a scientific context.

Example: Your body cannot utilize simple sugars to run a marathon.

Just use “use.”

This is our conclusion: do not do these things.

Le mot juste.

Letter to the Editor "If you build it, they will come." A famous line from the wonderful 1989 movie, Field of Dreams. Such a simple phrase, yet such a complex meaning. "If." The phrase is conditional. Fail to complete the first clause, and the second will not happen. "You." It will take the personal responsibility of the person involved.

"Build." It cannot be done without putting in effort and hard work. "It." The thing needing to be built. "They."

People who will find greater value in the item being built than in anything else they can do at that time. "Will." A verb which expresses that something is inevitable or a habitual behavior. "Come." An action taken when one wants to be involved in something greater than him or herself.

But why write an article centered around a line in a twenty five year old movie?

Because it is a lesson the Student Government Association needs to learn if it wants to become an effective tool for

the students on this campus.

In a typical meeting, there are about forty students that are SGA members and maybe ten who are not a part of SGA. But largely, the ten non-SGA members have some personal connection to an SGA member. Rarely do our fellow students come to the meetings with the sole purpose of suggesting how Campbell can be made better. It has been suggested to remedy this situation by providing food and door prizes to attract students.

While this may cause a few more students to come for a meeting or two, it will be a fix to a symptom rather than the actual sickness.

The actual sickness is that the Student Government Association is like kids learning the basics of t-ball. At a game of t-ball, those in attendance are the families or friends of the kids involved. Sound familiar? What causes hundreds of thousands of people to pay money to watch thirty year olds play a professional sport?

The players have gone beyond the basics. Because they have mastered the basics, they can run ninety yard touchdowns, slam dunk twenty five different ways, or complete a triple play. An SGA that follows the Constitution, fulfills their duties, and invests their time in improving both the organization and Campbell will be able to accomplish great things and further Campbell as an outstanding university. That would be a triple play that will naturally attract students to meetings and become a part of something great.

Any candidates running to be in Student Government next year should take note of this principle. "If you build it, they will come." If SGA builds an organization that has mastered the basics of helping students, students will come.

affecting the world today.

The panelists’ responses will be framed around cultural and theological perspectives as it pertains to their religion or value system.

Representatives from the Sokol major world faiths, including Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are invited to speak.

Also, someone from the Humanist movement will perform an open dialogue.

The club selected the Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam faiths to be part of the dinner because those four religions are prominent in American culture.

The club president said the Humanist movement presents a unique, meaningful voice, strongly shaped by relational engagement and education to affect real change apart from a theistic influence.

Freshman journalism major Matt Sokol said he considers the dinner an opportunity to socialize with a group of diverse individuals and learn about others’ faiths.

“I am looking forward to the interfaith dinner because it is

a time where representatives from each religion can come together by enjoying a meal,” Sokol said. “People should join G-Force to be able to be open about ones faith through discussions and be part of the Campbell service community.”

Vice President of G-Force Pranshu Shrivastava said he looks forward to learning more about different religions and how they are alike in certain ways.

“World peace and harmony through understanding similarities between different faiths and spread the message of love through interfaith,” said Shrivastava, a final year graduate assistant in the Masters of Pharmaceutical Science program.

The club said the purpose of this event is for students, faculty, staff, and members of the community to hear from a diverse group of voices in religion and begin to create a safe campus environment and community that respects and accepts all people despite what they may or may not believe.

Anyone on campus is welcome to join G-Force. The club is open to people of all faiths and people without faith.

Meetings are the last Thursday of every month in D Rich. .

“In our meetings we talk about issues on campus having to do with or are affected by religion/religious thought. We also talk about major issues happening in the world,” Zepher said.

BCU Scholar and Campbell Graduate Campbell helped me to realize that collegiate teaching was more than a career; it was a calling. There I learned that engaging in the rigorous academic study of religion was indeed a ministry, and that part of my calling was to help future students to grapple with the difficult questions that come with such a pursuit.

Through BCU I’ve had the privilege of meeting with Baylor leaders like Dean Larry Lyon and Provost Elizabeth Davis. In addition, I’ve made a number of friends who share my commitment to integrating faith and learning.

The Baylor College and University (BCU) Scholars program at Baylor University is designed to identify and recruit top graduates from IABCU institutions for doctoral study in 22 academic disciplines. By partnering with Baptist institutions, Baylor hopes to help prepare the next generation of scholars for Baptist universities. Baylor thanks Southwest Baptist University and President Pat Taylor and Provost Bill Brown for their continued support.

Stuck, No one likes to be dumped so, naturally, it’s not going to be easy. I assume you know the first basic rule to a break up: DO NOT DO IT OVER A TEXT MESSAGE. I hope I don’t have to explain how rude and impersonal that is. Rule number two is not on a holiday/special occasion. There’s nothing worse than thinking “this is the day she broke my heart” when every birthday rolls around. Meet him somewhere not too public (but not as private as your/his house) and, with his feelings in mind, tell him how you feel. Gently let him know that you feel it would be better if you didn’t continue in that particular type of relationship. Don’t lie about it but definitely don’t tell him it’s because you think he’s weird. Be prepared for questions and be ready to answer them in the best way that you can-briefly of course. Thank him for being understanding. If he starts to cry or argue with you, just calmly state what you want. Don’t argue with him. If you truly don’t want to be with him, don’t just “change your mind” to alleviate his broken hear. Then, do a 180 and run like the gingerbread man. Sometimes, the process just needs to be quick. However, I have a question: how in the world did you start dating a guy without knowing who he really was?

There are a lot of things you won’t be able to predict before dating like if he picks his nose, etc. However, you can usually tell if he’s weird (i.e. not your type) from the first few interactions. For future references, get to know potential suitors a bit more before you start dating. My motto is “date with a purpose.” It saves a lot of confusion and heartache.

Peace, love, and apple juice my friend.

Style tips

Professional meets unique

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.

March 17: Zombie Prom 8 p.m. Carter Gym

Whether we accept it or not, we are on the verge of entering the “real world” or at the very least the prequel of it aka the internship. Sadly this means leggings, sweats, and holey jeans will no longer be options. Cue the collective groan. Never fear guys. Dressing professionally isn't the end of the world, just college. Dressing for the professional setting doesn't have to be boring, hard, or uncomfortable--it just takes following some simple rules:

Girls

Guys

Ground rules for keeping it classy: • If you wear a skirt or dress, make sure it at least hits just above your knees. When in doubt, apply the fingertip rule. Your clubbing skirt does not qualify as business attire, no matter how cute.

• Be careful of fit. Anything too tight is not appropriate for the workplace. If you find yourself constantly tugging or pulling a piece of clothing back over your skin, it’s not the right fit.

•The workplace is not a dating forum, so your outfit should reflect that. You will be more successful without short skirts, saran-wrapped-like clothing, and plunging necklines.

Staying Sophisticated: • I know the floor may be the go-to place to grab pants and a shirt, but sloppy is not OK. Make sure your clothes are ironed. If you don’t own an iron, I suggest purchasing Downy Wrinkle Release spray from your local Walgreens.

• Tuck in your dress shirts. All shirts, period.

• Don't wear shorts, ever. I don't care if it is hot, your glorious legs don’t need to make an appearance in the office. You don’t need to stand out that way.

How to jazz it up: • Add color. Don't look like a rainbow, but a bright color with black dress pants or even colored heels and a blazer add pizzazz.

• Your outfit should not resemble a disco ball or lingerie in any form. Therefore, keep lace and sparkles to a minimum. Look for lace lapels or sparkley buttons.

• Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize. It makes all the difference. Grab a scarf or bold statement necklace to make the simplest of outfits have a unique look. Never underestimate the power of a great pair of shoes or hair accessory.

Spicing it up: • Try a vest instead of a blazer. It gives a hipster vibe that is sure to be unique.

• Invest in an analog watch. It completes your look and makes you look more professional.

• Play with pattern. It is completely acceptable to get a fun shirt, just not a tropical one. It isn't quite vacation time.

• Enjoy the tie. I know for some ties may feel like a noose, but it adds character to an outfit, especially if it is in a unique pattern. Although I wouldn't suggest anything overly flamboyant.

The key to rocking the real world is finding the balance between classy and unique.

Don't blend in, but don't stand out for the wrong reasons either. A good outfit will give you confidence and get you noticed in the workplace. I promise, it isn't hard and it is so worth it.

Performances by Campbell University faculty and guests

Staff Writer

On Thursday evening, Campbell University’s Music Department hosted “Music of Living Composers” featuring composer Max Lifchitz.

In addition to performances by Campbell University faculty Betty Wishart and Dr. Ran Whitley, guest performers included composers/

musicians Dr. Keith Dippre of Methodist University and Dr. James M. Guthrie of Chowan University.

“I haven’t heard tonight’s work by Lifchitz performed before, so I’m looking forward to it. I have heard Lifchitz perform in the past and I really enjoyed it. All of the composers tonight are good,” Campbell University Music Department faculty member

included works ranging from solo piano pieces to electronically synthesized melodies.

“I am a composer myself so it’s amazing to hear a living composer here at Campbell,” Campbell University freshman Kazonte Lockett said.

Others also enjoyed the addition of a live fine arts performance to their academic curriculum.

“I really enjoy widening my

horizons and becoming wellrounded in the arts as part of my academic career,” sophomore Michael Ogletree said.

The event featured a wide variety of musical pieces by modern day creators of music.

Students claimed they were able to explore new musical compositions.

Music Review: G I R L by Pharrel

By Brian Brown Staff Writer

Pharrell is one of the many artists of the hip-hop era who has built a career largely by working with others. Whether he’s produced with his partner Chad Hugo, fronting the band N.E.R.D. or collaborating with the likes of Britney Spears, Jay-Z, and Ludacris, he can usually launch a hit. Just last year he was involved in three of the most infuriatingly catchy songs of the summer: Daft Punk’s “Lose Yourself to Dance” and “Get Lucky” and Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines.” They were by far the most upbeat ode to misogyny and sexual manipulation since Billy Joel’s “Only the Good Die Young.” Pharrell brought all of that joy to his second solo outing “G I R L.” The album starts strong with the opener “Marilyn Monroe,” which sets the tone in the first line “This one goes out to all the lovers.” Pharrell makes a solid step in getting

back to his clean image after the “Blurred Lines” controversy with lines like “We can’t help who we’re attracted to” and literally referring to himself as a good boy. It’s a cool funk song that pairs a Prince style guitar riff with symphonic violins.

The second track “Brand New” is one of only two collaborations on the album, not including Miley Cyrus’s uncredited appearance on “Come Get It Bae.” On the track, Justin Timberlake’s rasp pairs perfectly with Pharrell’s sleek voice as the two sing about being rejuvenated by love. Musically, it retains the funky guitar of “Marilyn Monroe,” but with a brass section replacing the strings.

Alicia Keyes makes her contribution in the laid-back girl power anthem “Know Who You Are,” like Bikini Kill meets Jack Johnson. Keyes asks the ladies to pledge to “live life on the edge” and “see the power is in me.”

“Lost Queen” is one of the

biggest surprises on the album, featuring a simple tribal groove and hum. As Billboard said, “After the exercises in maximalism that precedes it, ‘Lost Queen’ thrums with a minimalist bounce.” It’s followed by the hidden track “Freq” (read as freak) which includes another unaccredited appearance, this time by JoJo. It’s a spacey sitar laced soul

tune about individualism, in which Parrell and JoJo claim “I’d rather be a freq than not be unique.”

On “Come Get It Bae” Prince’s influence can be seen again, this time in the lyrical content. The little red Corvette metaphor from “Little Red Corvette” is replaced with a motorcycle. The music is more reminiscent of the techno funk

Pharrell made with N.E.R.D. The first problem arrives with “Hunter” which makes use of the old predatory metaphor so beloved by womanizing sitcom characters. Supposedly, the song is from the perspective of a woman, but that doesn’t really help when the narrator is compared to an animal. Regardless, it’s a fun song with a call and response riff that brings to mind young John Travolta walking down the New York City streets.

The standout of the album is “Happy,” which listeners already know from being stuck in their heads every day since it first appeared on the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack last June. It’s a purely delightful song in the legacy of “Here Comes the Sun.” With lyrics like “clap your hands if you feel like happiness is the truth,” it’s essentially “If You’re Happy and You Know It” with soul so smooth that any criticism of “G I R L” falls away like water off a duck’s back.

Spotlight on Local Businesses: Movie Review: Robocop Remake Campus Pizza

By Phillip Parker Staff Writer

“Robocop”, a sci-fi action movie of the late 80s, starred Peter Weller as a cyborg policeman that enforced the law in the crime-ridden city of Detroit.

The movie produced two sequels, two cartoons, a live action television series, a miniseries, and countless other paraphernalia.

Along with creating a cultural icon, the films were also known for their ludicrously over-the-top violence and satire of the Ragon years. The 2014 remake, on the other hand, is altogether a completely different beast.

drama, this all takes a backseat to his struggle with his sudden transformation and his conflict with Omnicorp and those responsible for his murder.

Another worthy mention is Gary Oldman as Dr. Dennett Norton. As opposed to the pompous businessman that was responsible for Robocop’s creation from the original film, Oldman’s character desires to help Murphy and his family in coping with his new for, all while trying to please his superiors at Omnicorp, which results in the ethical dilemma that surrounds the character.

On that note, the corporation in this film seems a great deal less overtly sinister then the one from the original.

While the bigwigs of OCP seemed to have a stranglehold on all facets of American life, Omnicorp is simply a robotics manufacturer and Michael Keaton’s character just wants to create a product, even though he doing a nosedive off the slippery slope.

To summarize, the 2014 remake is vastly different take on the character of Robocop that focuses less on the superhero aspects and more on the potential drama of the situation and presents the story in a new light.

However, it is by no means superior to the original. All of the commentary of media violence and capitalize run rampant is replaced with Samuel Jackson’s ranting straw man.

Also, the subplot of Murphy apprehending those responsible for his murder is wrapped up two thirds through leaving us without a strong central villain. It’s an interesting take on the mythos, but it lacks the originals wit and memorability.

Overall, I would give the movie a seven out of ten.

Campbell Softball fell short to Syracuse, 7-6, on Wednesday after defeating UNC Chapel Hill in Chapel Hill, 9-3, on Tuesday.

The wind was high, but the conditions didn’t stop the Camels from having a productive first few innings.

Scoring at the bottom of the first, the team was off to a good start. Carrying the score 1-0, the Camels got five runs in at the third inning bringing the score to 6-0.

Syracuse came into the fourth inning with continuous home runs setting the score at 6-5. Syracuse had Campbell scoreless in the fifth, sixth, and seventh inning as they scored one run in each of the fifth and sixth innings.

Syracuse ended the game in the seventh inning with the winning score of 7-6.

During this game, CU had three different players with two or more hits. Juniors Ericka Nesbitts Kerstine Womack, and Brittany Bruce each scored a run. Sophomore Courtney Klingler had a solo home run, which was her sixth of the year.

Junior pitcher Julia Callicutt pitched two innings, striking out four and allowing one run.

Despite the loss, head coach Drew Peterson was pleased with how well the team played in the first half.

“I really thought we had a great approach to the game in the first half of the game and put a lot of good swings on balls.” Peterson said. “We had good quality at bat, even when we were getting outs, we had advancing runners. We had three great pitchers that dominated the hitters they were facing.”

Looking forward to wining the next, Peterson said he looks to improve their game.

“We want to continue to get better by taking it one day at a time as a team,” he said. “We’ve got a great group of girls. They are committed to each other and the goals of the team.”

The coach said the goals include getting to the 40th win plateau and to win the Big South Championships.

“We’ve seen some signs of good things, we just have to work on them and be consistent.” Peterson said. “Going into conference, I feel like we’re playing the best softball we’ve played all year.”

On Friday, the softball team went on to sweep the doubleheader against Liberty, in Big South Conference play, 9-8 and 5-2.

Campbell fans can catch the team during their next at-home action with a double-header against Radford March 21.

Baseball sweeps mid-week, weekend games

By Matt Sokol Staff Writer

After winning 4-0 on Tuesday against Ball State, the Campbell Baseball team took them on again in their second mid-week set on Wednesday afternoon at Jim Perry Stadium.

The Camels were able to snatch the victory from the Cardinals with a score of 4-3.

Junior right-handed pitcher Bobby Thorson led the team to the win. Thorson went deep into the game with six innings pitched with eight strikeouts.

“Ball State is a good club

and anytime you get a win against one it does wonders for your team’s confidence.”

Thorson said. “We are going to a big Liberty series this weekend, and this week is huge. We just need to stay with ourselves and try to play a tight game.

This series is definitely going to be a battle.”

A major component that contributed to the Campbell victory was the work of freshman outfielder Danny Pardo.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, Pardo was able to knock an inside-the-park grand slam, putting four spots on the board.

Pardo, in five trips to the

plate, ended up with four men batted in, and two putouts from the field.

“My teammates did a great job getting on base, and while the other team was having a meeting they told me they had faith in me. It really motivated me having a great group of guys and coaches believing me.” Pardo said. “Having an opportunity to play always boosts confidence, and I have been struggling lately. My teammates have stuck with me, and they continue to believe in me making me want to go out and work. “ Campbell head coach Gregg Goff, who is in his sev-

enth season, said he is confident in the team’s abilities.

“Thorson did a tremendous job today, and I thought he was very competitive. He was able to utilize his breaking ball for strikes. When he got ahead in the count on batters he was able to use it for strikeouts.”

Goff said. “Thorson did a great job today, and he just reached his pitch count at the end of his outing. We didn’t want to stretch him out because he has to be ready for the weekend.”

Senior pitcher Ryan Thompson took over the mound in the early part of the seventh inning for Thorson, where the team was in a jam

with a score of 4-3 with runners on base.

Thompson was able to go 2 2/3 innings with two strikeouts earning the save in the match.

Goff said, “Thompson is an All-American, and whenever he takes the mound he pitches strikes with the men behind him playing good defense.”

On Saturday, the Fighting Camels went on to lose game one to Liberty, but edged out the Flames in 13 innings for a final score of 6-5.

The Camels will be back on the field Tuesday when they take on Iona at Jim Perry Stadium.
