Law students face the jury Future lawyers confront declining job market, increasing school tuition

By Sean Neal News Editor

Drawn by the hope of seeking justice, many students’ eyes are on the profession of law.

However, not even the law

sector is exempt from the torrent of recession.

In a CNBC article by Mark Koba, the job market for law school graduates has steadily dwindled. It seems as the debt of graduate school increases, the number of stu-

dent applicants decreases.

Koba reported statistics which project law-related occupations will have decreased to a one to six ratio: one job for every six law students.

Campbell director and associate professor of gov-

ernment studies Dr. David Thornton hold concerns for Campbell students’ futures.

“I and my colleagues are quite concerned about the high cost of law school, espe See LAW page 5

The construction is set to begin in August of 2015.

David Phittf, the regional traffic engineer of NCDOT, explained how it isn’t easy to begin a major task like this.

“The tunnel has to go through a design process, and we have to be approved for funding, which has recently been accepted.,” Phittf said.

Senior exercise science major Aminee Alexander crosses the 421 highway around two to four times a day and is often late to class while waiting to cross the four-lane highway. She hopes the new tunnel can alleviate such problems and provide safety.

New ties roll in

As former provost Dr. Dwaine Greene relocates to Kentucky where he will commence his regime as President of Georgetown College on Oct. 21, the Campbell community welcomes a new administrator.

The dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Dr. Mark Hammond will take Greene’s place.

“He is an excellent prodigy,” Dr. Hammond said of his successor Dr. Greene.

Associate profesWells sor of chemistry Dr. Michael Wells has taken on the role as the new Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, which took effect on Sept. 1.

Dr. Wells, whom is a native of Harnett County, joined Campbell University in 1996 as an adjunct professor.

The College of Arts and Sciences is the largest and oldest school at Campbell and Dr. Wells said he is prepared to take on the responsibility that comes with overseeing the college.

Wells’ new roles include acting as a member of the College of Arts and Sciences’ advisory board as well as chairing the Faculty Evaluation Committee.

Faith and confidence in Dr. Wells are resolute: President Wallace regards him as “an outstanding addition” to their team of highly qualified leaders.

Tahnia Ravnjak named Big South women’s golfer of the week

International students adjust to the Creek successfully

By Caroline Belmore Staff Writer

Although the Creek may be cozy and quaint, it is a melting pot of various cultures and ethnicities.

There are currently 77 international students enrolled in Campbell University’s undergraduate program, and 36 international graduate students.

Lois Hupfeld of Campbell’s office of International Admissions said “a very large percent” of Campbell students are from India.

In an analysis of the 2011 American Community Survey by the Pew Research Center, Ana Gonzalez-Barrera and Mark Hugo-Lopez discovered that Spanish is the most spoken English language in U.S, even among non-Hispanics.

The next spoken nonEnglish languages are Chinese, Hindi, Urdu, or other Indic languages, and French.

International Admissions said there are over 50 native languages spoken on Campbell’s campus.

For an international student, breaking the language barrier serves as the first adjustment of coming to the Creek.

An international student from Korea, Grace Han, said the biggest culture shock when she got here was the transportation.

She said Korea had greater access to public transportation, which made traveling easier.

Han also explained the differences in the U.S. and Korean school systems.

In Korea the students don’t

move from class to class, the instructors do. The normal school hours were 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Han has found positive differences of American schools.

She said in America, society is generally friendlier toward one another whereas in Korea “people never talk to strangers.”

However, Han pointed out the “food here is really greasy and the portions are too big.”

Han would like Campbell University to “support more international students.”

The university has an International Student Services program (ISS), but Han wishes for more interaction between international students and American students.

Another international student, senior communication studies major Ali Prazak, came

from St. Thomas, an island in the Caribbean Sea. Prazak said she feels the people here are very friendly.

She said Campbell is similar to St. Thomas because it is a small area.

But, there are differences among the two “It’s different the way people talk about race here,” Prazak said.

Many sports bring international students to Campbell.

As a member of the Campbell Women’s Golf Team, Prazak said she has gotten the opportunity to learn a lot about other countries.

Campbell continues to attract various international students to the university.

International Admissions hopes the diverse population will continue to grow.

After winning her first collegiate title, Tahnia Ravnjak of Campbell University has been named Big South Conference women’s golfer of the week.

Ravnjak not only led Campbell to the women’s title, but helped the CU men and women win the combined Golfweek Program Challenge for the third-straight year.

Ravnjak shot 76-69-66— 211 to finish 2-under-par at theTrue Blue Golf Plantation and win by four strokes, over teammate Ali Prazak who finished in a 3-way tie for runner-up honors.

Guest Column: Attorney General Roy Cooper

AG remains skeptical of for-profit schools

In a tight job market, education can make the difference between getting hired and getting passed over for another applicant.

Many North Carolinians are going back to school to learn new job skills, and our state’s local community colleges offer quality education at an affordable price. Private, for-profit career and trade schools can also train students to qualify for jobs such as automotive technicians, medical assistants, and paralegals. But check out a school thoroughly before you enroll.

Some for-profit schools offering classes are excellent.

But others seem to be more interested in making money than keeping their promises to students. My office recently won a court order to stop a for-profit school.

Tuition at some for-profit schools can cost up to four times what a community college might charge, and their claims of top quality teachers and classes and high job placement rates and future salaries

can turn out to be hollow.

To avoid problems, do your homework before enrolling at a for-profit college or trade school: -Check out the school thoroughly before you sign up.

If a recruiter offers to enroll you immediately and help you fill out financial aid forms, the recruiter may be trying to meet an enrollment quota and might not have your best interest at heart.

-Shop around and compare prices. A community college may offer the same degree at a fraction of the price. The North Carolina Community College System also regulates private business, correspondence, trade and technical schools.

-If a school’s recruiter promises that it will be easy to get a job in your field after graduation, or guarantees you’ll earn a certain income, be skeptical.

-Check out the school’s graduation rate. If many students don’t complete the program, it may be a sign that

the school isn’t keeping its promises. Talk to current students about their experiences with the school.

-Ask about class sizes and instructors’ qualifications. Sit in on a few classes. Does the school have adequate space, equipment, instructional material, and personnel to provide quality training? Also, find out if the school is accredited by checking with the US Department of Education at http://ope.ed.gov/accreditation/.

-If you plan to transfer at some point, ask if the school’s credits will transfer. Then check with the schools you may end up transferring to. See if they will accept the coursework.

-Ask for the course outline, schedule of tuition, fees, books and other charges, rules on missing class, grading policy and rules of conduct. All schools operating in North Carolina are required by law to provide this information in writing.

-If you take out a student

loan, read it carefully and make sure you understand the terms before you sign. You’ll be responsible for paying off the loan whether or not you complete the program. If someone asks you to lie or bend the truth on a financial aid application, walk away.

-Before getting a private loan, research state and federal loan, scholarship, and grant opportunities at www.cfnc.org.

-Review materials the school gives you carefully, including the contract, before you sign up. If the school refuses to give you information in writing or tells you that you must first sign a contract, look elsewhere. If a school official makes promises that don’t appear in the school’s written documents, ask to get them in writing.

Study Abroad Column

Alumni share what waits abroad

By Erin Overton and Kendra Erickson Study Abroad Representatives

Ask any study abroad alumni that question and they’ll laugh, shake their head in amazement, and respond with one word: “Everything!”

And they mean it quite literally. You cannot help but learn while studying abroad.

During the summer of 2013, seventy-four Campbell students participated in study abroad adventures. Some traveled with Campbell faculty to Costa Rica, Italy, France, Spain, and Great Britain. Others went abroad for internships, independent studies, and language schools.

I studied British literature with Campbell in Great Britain this summer. Culturally, academically, mentally, physically, and spiritually, every part of me was immersed in my learning experience in a way that never could have happened in the classroom or on a vacation.

There was never a minute in Great Britain where I left “the classroom.” Everything around me was a supplement to my lessons. Experiencing firsthand the culture of the nation that shaped the literature I was studying involved every aspect

As I stood on the grassy hillsides and gazed at the sultry clouds, I realized that William Wordsworth may not have been blabbering on about the beauty of the countryside!

All of my senses and thoughts were completely absorbed in what I was learning in a way that could never happen without visiting the place

where the literature originated.

Anna McNeill, a Criminal Justice major, studied abroad at a Don Quijote Spanish language school in Cordoba, Argentina. McNeill’s daily life depended on her applying her studies and completely immersing herself in her surroundings.

“Hearing Spanish 24/7 and having to use it to get food or get to a destination teaches you to go beyond the basic ‘how are you’ Spanish,”

McNeill says. “Learning the language not only depends on whether you gain credit, but also whether you survive!”

McNeill’s typical day consisted of Spanish lessons in the morning, and then living a normal life as an Argentinian the rest of the day. She learned so much more than the basics by being totally engaged in a culture where all communication is in Spanish.

Similarly, Rachelle Fuller’s summer in Costa Rica basically turned her into a fluent Spanish-speaker in just the two months she spent there!

“What makes studying Spanish in a Hispanic culture different is that everything is 100% Spanish, and you pick up important phrases that are not covered in the classroom,” Fuller said.

This active involvement in learning is what makes study abroad unique.

Studying abroad demands every aspect of your attention and pushes you to academic success, cultural consciousness, and new self-awareness that you never knew was possible. This holistic academic experience uniquely impacts every element of your personhood.

Everything changes when you change your surroundings!

cially in light of the continuing weakness of the job market,” Thornton said. “So far almost all of our students who had completed law school and passed the bar have found work; I’m more worried about those currently in law school, and those who are considering enrolling.”

Yet, numerous Campbell undergraduates still have their hearts set on law school. Their ambitions go unraveled, despite the declining job market.

“There are a lot of really great [law] schools out there, but the ones I’ve seriously looked at are Campbell, UNC, Wake Forest, Columbia SC, and William and Mary,” said senior Caleb Johnson, a history/ pre-law major.

For Johnson, his dream job is to become a senior senator for North Carolina.

“I know that seems ambitious,” he said, “but I have a great desire to serve the people of this state.”

Dean Wells also has a son who attends Campbell, sophomore biochemistry major Jacob Wells.

J. Wells said he has high hopes for his father in his new role.

These sentiments are echoed by Provost Hammond as he himself holds confidence in Dr. Wells and the new position.

“What I’ve found in reading those articles is that they don’t really ever mention middle markets or small markets; not one-hundred percent [of the findings] pertain to North Carolina.”

She said roughly eighty to ninety percent of graduates from Campbell Law remain in North Carolina.

In regard to law school’s high tuition, Beavers said that students need to be aware of fiscal responsibilities.

Campbell Law actively engages with its students, aiding them in the fight to be monetarily secure. The law school continuously provides data on finances, Bar passage records, and employment data.

According to Beavers, Campbell also has a loyal network of alumni who are active in helping students seek employment.

Beaver also finds the classroom size in the law school advantageous to their future lawyers.

“Campbell Law School is intentionally small, and that’s how they’ve been since they opened their doors in the sev-

enties,” Beavers said.

She said not only does the smaller class size help the value of the students’ education, but it also helps to keep local competition low.

Beaver and the Campbell Law staff strive to keep their students grounded.

“The key thing here with students and prospective students, is to set realistic expectations,” Beavers said.

She recommends that students branch out into the job market, she advises students to seek internships, develop their soft skills, network, and keep their doors open.

Dr. Thornton reiterates Beavers’ sentiment. “[Students should] rank as high in their class as possible, and be very flexible with the type of employment they’d be willing to accept,” he said.

Although future law school graduates face potential hardships in the future, Beavers hopes students will continue to find inspiration in law.

“Pursue your dream. Never let anyone tell you not to pursue your dream,” she said.

Entertainment Spotlight on local businesses: Leland’s BBQ

Photo by Michelle Polowood

By Michelle Polowood Staff Writer

Buies Creek recently received a new addition to the community: Leland’s BBQ. With Southern barbecue, wings, and ribs, Leland’s supplements the palatable choices at Campbell.

Employee Rickey Todd encourages students “if you’re tired of Chick-fil-a, Quiznos, or Papa Jones, to come get some barbecue”.

Many customers have reported Leland’s employees to be nice, friendly, and make you feel right at home.

It’s apparent the employees have been educated in the foods and services they provide.

Manager James Adams seems well aware of the needs of the customers and works diligently to meet them.

He said he knows that students here at Campbell are on a budget; yet, Adams has also noted students have found difficulty with Leland’s pricing.

According to Adams, Leland’s offers discounts to students.

However, employee Tshara Jones believes “you’re getting what you paid for.”

She has tasted everything on the menu and likes it all.

Regardless of price, Campbell students enjoy the new addition on the plaza.

Campbell student Phelicia Blake said, “The fact that you can come and use your Creek Bucks is great”.

Although pricing may be an issue, customers are satisfied with the product.

“Food’s good, didn’t expect anything different” Steve Pierce said as he had just finished sharing a meal with his wife Traci Pierce, a Campbell associate professor of economics and business administration.

T. Pierce enjoys the variety of food and believes there is “something that everybody could like” on the menu.

When asked why anyone should come and eat at Leland’s, Adams said it is “something different than your average burger and sub”.

What seems to be the favorite is the Loaded Potato with beef or pork: a carved baked potato smothered in barbecue or succulent beef.

I tried it and I have to agree with Jones: you do get what you pay for.

The serving sizes are not miniscule portions I would normally expect from anywhere else.

Leland’s gives you a hardy portion of food that will leave you satisfied but not over loaded.

T. Pierce appreciates the environment of the restaurant with its “industrial lighting and trendy atmosphere.”

The employees are friendly, you get your money’s worth out of your food, and you feel right at home and as Todd says, it is a “Barbecue Heaven”.

Adams has high hopes for Leland’s.

He said, “We’re going to revolutionize the way we do barbecue”.

Faith based duo entertains crowd

By Austin Thomas Staff Writer

On Wednesday evening, the Christian themed theater duo “The Skit Guys” performed at Turner Auditorium.

The pair, comprised of Tommy Woodard and Eddie James, packed the seats by performing a number of comedy and drama sketches, which can be seen on Vine and YouTube.

The duo has performed for several years and has gained considerable notoriety for their work.

Wednesday’s skits ranged from impersonations to complicated issues, such as illness and personal beliefs.

“I like that it’s funny,” Woodard said. “Humor breaks down walls for truth to enter, if you can make someone laugh, you can make them listen.”

Numerous students enjoyed the performance.

“I think it’s great for the community because it brings student body and Buies Creek community together, as it should be.” Amy Adams, a Campbell Divinity School student and Resident Chaplain, said.

“I think it’s great for Campbell University undergraduate students to see such great voices in the Christian commu-

nity through live action skits,” Trent Matthews, a Campbell Divinity School student said.

As well as humor, Woodard and James try to maintain a spiritual connection in their performances.

“We hope that God goes before us,” Woodard said, “And shares with each person what they need. Laughter is the best medicine. Everyone has a story, that’s not defined by the past, God can redeem.”

Freshman Sam Regner appreciated the performance took on a spiritual meaning.

“My favorite part was the message that came through the skits, but I also liked the humor of the show,” Regner said.

Faithe Beam, Campbell University minister and coordinator for the event, also believed the performance went well.

“I have seen their videos online and at different venues, and have been personally touched by the message and humor delivered through their comedy,” Beam said, “and so many others have expressed the same thing, and so it was no question that we wanted to invite them to come to Campbell.”

Beam hopes the duo can return to the Creek in the future.
