Campbell’s campus gets TAGged University-wide Thank A Giver Day to celebrate Campbell’s donors

By Yasmeen Richie Staff Writer

A University-wide TAG Day, or Thank A Giver Day, is set to take place this Thursday, Oct. 16.

Orange gift tags will be displayed on items and places throughout campus that have been made pos-

sible via donor gifts. The tags will include the donor of each item and the donation amount.

Sarah Swain, a 2005 Campbell grad and current director of annual giving, said she hopes TAG Day will help students appreciate how much donors have helped them in their Camel journey.

“Over the years, people have chosen to give to Campbell, and those gifts have made our university the place our students call home,” Swain said.

Statistics reveal the generosity that has been shown to Campbell.

Swain said more than 4,600 donors contributed to Campbell through

financial gifts in 2013 alone. Swain said she wants current students to understand that outsiders value students’ education, and that one day students themselves will be able to provide future Campbell students with similar opportunities through donations.

shop will offer a full-service menu, use the Starbucks reward system and accept Starbucks gift cards.

It’s not the first introduction of Starbucks on campus. The Oasis had served limited Starbucks options for the past 10 years, though it lacked Starbucks food items and didn’t accept gift cards or offer a reward system. The Oasis location was closed at the beginning of the

semester.

The addition of the full-service Starbucks was determined based on research compiled by Aramark, Campbell’s food service management company. Campbell administration partnered with Aramark to gain access to the Starbucks franchise.

When sophomore Jesse Lockamy registered to donate bone marrow through his job at Coats Pharmacy his freshman year, he did not expect to be contacted to donate for at least a few years.

“My co-worker who asked me to sign up had been on the registry for 15 years without being contacted,” said Lockamy, “I Lockamy definitely did not expect to be contacted within two months.”

Yet two months later, DKMS Delete Blood Cancer contacted him with the possibility of matching a patient in need of a stem cell donation. Lockamy sent in more information, and was informed that he was a positive match for the patient.

The patient to whom he would have the chance to donate, also happened to be battling the same form of Leukemia that took his See Life, Page 6

AROUND CAMPUS University to study feasibility of new School of Engineering Last May, the Campbell Board of Trustees approved a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Degree at Campbell. On Oct. 22, the Trustees’ Executive Committee voted to look into establishing an entire school for Campbell’s newest program.

If established, the School of Engineering would become the University’s eighth school. Campbell is set to offer the engineering degree beginning in the fall of 2016, pending approval by accrediting agencies.

Proposal approved for Doctor of Occupational Therapy program In an effort to offer comprehensive health care education programs, the Campbell University Board of Trustees’ Executive Committee has approved a proposal to establish a Doctor of Occupational Therapy program.

This approval grants the University permission to move forward with the accreditation process as set by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) and the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE), a division of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA).

The proposed DrOT program will be housed in Campbell’s nationally acclaimed College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences.

New student center on horizon?

By Anjanette Alexander Staff Writer

After a long week of classes, some students just want to cut loose and hang out with a couple of close friends. The Wallace Student Center is the current on campus spot for doing just that, but some students have voiced the desire for a new student center with more to offer.

Plans for a future center have been drawn, but nothing is set in stone according to Campbell Magazine. The proposed center will would house dining facilities, a grand ballroom, gaming room, fitness center and much more.

“I think a new student center will give students an opportunity to have somewhere to hang out instead of traveling,” said senior accounting major Kyle Berrier. “It would also give the

student body a place to meet new people and gain connections throughout their duration at Campbell . . . Though, as a senior, I do not think I would spend too much time there. I have many other engagements to attend to as well,” said Berrier.

Berrier is not alone in thinking that a new student center could change the way students view campus. Other students wonder how a new place on campus to call their own would differ from traveling to the surrounding areas.

Sophomore English major Simwone Powell agrees that a student center helps students to engage each other, but thinks the old one already serves that purpose.

“Who knows the campus better than other students themselves?” said Powell. However, Powell said she does not see the

need for a new student center: “There’s nothing wrong with the old one.”

Students are not the only ones thinking about the student center. Even some faculty members seem eager to see what is next in the improvements that are coming to campus.

Laura Rich, the Director of Student Success, said that she would like to see a new student center. She said she has heard of the idea to build a new one.

“It is definitely a good thing! It’s like the next piece in the puzzle for Campbell.”

It is a piece that fits well with the coming generation of Campbell students, which is far more diverse than in years past.

The campus is a place of community and it seems only fitting that that it evolve with the next generation.

Ebola strike impacts U.S.

By Matthew Sokol News Editor

The Ebola virus has claimed its first victim in the U.S., and now the question lingers about the further effect it will have here.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed on Sept. 30, the first case of Ebola in the U.S. The patient died on Oct. 8. On that same day, the U.S. began enhanced Ebola screening in select airports.

Michael Larsen, chairman of Campbell’s Department of Biology, said Ebola pertains to the environment and is spread through person-to-person contact. However, he said he is not concerned with the disease spreading throughout the United States.

“I am not worried that the

Ebola virus will spread. And we are well-prepared with knowledge, along with information,” said Larsen. “We are in no way close to the chance of an epidemic here in the United States.”

The symptoms reported for the virus are weakness, fever, aches, diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach pain. Additional symptoms include rash, red eyes, chest pain, throat soreness, difficulty breathing or swallowing and bleeding (including internal), as listed on CNN.com.

Students at Campbell University shared their concerns about the virus this week. Junior marketing major Lacey Gatrell is called the virus “frightening.”

“Ebola is very frightening, and as a student, I am very worried about the disease,” said Gatrell.

“This summer I was hoping to study abroad, but now I am be-

ing cautious of the situation and staying at home.”

However, sophomore prepharmacy major Sarah Arnold is not as worried about the disease spreading. Arnold’s more optimistic views are in line with those of Larsen.

“I am confident in the medical care field,” said Arnold. “I am also confident in the officials in charge of regulating the spread of the viruses within the United States and their ability to contain the virus from causing a major outbreak.”

Sophomore marketing major Dillon Lee has some general concern for the spread of the Ebola. “Ebola has been known since the mid 1970s, and in this year alone it has made a major outbreak across continents,” Lee said.

The Gilberts: A family Camel Proud

By Sierra Fox Staff Writer

On Sept. 27, student Kalabria Gilbert and her family were recognized as the 2014 Family of the Year during halftime at the football game vs. Valparaiso in Barker-Lane stadium.

“When I was on the field with my family, I was so overwhelmed with emotion because I never would have thought I would be here (at Campbell) today, and at that moment it became real,” said Gilbert, a freshman communication studies major.

“I am honored to be Campbell’s Family of the Year. I got to share the honor with the people who got me here so it means a lot.”

Gilbert said the main reason she nominated her family is because they are so supportive of her in all that she does. Deciding where to go to college is a big decision, and her family members were big advocates for her to become a Camel.

She thought it would make them even more Camel

proud to be selected as 2014 Family of the Year.

The Gilberts are from Apex, NC, which influenced Gilbert’s desire to attend CU. Her home is close enough to visit, but far away enough for her to feel independent. She also loves the Campbell family atmosphere and the faith based principles.

Her family is always upto-date on the events on campus, including sports, and her seventh-grade brother, Logan, already wants to be a Camel.

‘What month is it?’

And other concerns of an upperclassman

By Sean Neal Editor

It’s happened to all of us.

A never-ending to-do list, pre-occupied with a thousand different things, and suddenly you forget something as basic as the current month.

Such is the life of a college student, especially around this time of year.

This week alone many of us are looking at registering for classes, midterms, midterm projects, and–on top of that–this week’s homecoming festivities. A lot of us also have jobs and/or internships, extracurricular activities, etc.

It’s a lot.

Upperclassmen are feeling

added pressure to make sure everything in their “master plan” is fitting just so in order for them to graduate on time.

Seniors especially are really feeling the brunt of it about now.

It’s become an all-too-familiar routine to stay up past 1 a.m., down one or more cups of your preferred caffeinated beverage the next day, and endlessly go from one activity or commitment to the next.

We often don’t think anything of it. It’s just a part of being a student. And after all, isn’t that like, the circle of life, or something?

Well, the circle of life is actually something quite different. But the point is,

the mind numbing cycle of working, planning, and five-minute on-the-go lunch breaks, is something society has Neal trained us to expect in life.

Now there’s nothing wrong with ambition and hard work.

But when we haven’t been able to have a single thought to ourselves all day and our minds are forever on which work item on the to-do list we have to do next, it becomes a problem. The quality of the work we put forth begins to suffer too.

I’ve learned it’s essential to be selective in the activities we take on, and avoid taking on too much. More importantly, we need to be active in setting aside time for ourselves and ourselves alone.

Quiet time is good, and perhaps the best “me time” of all is time spent doing absolutely nothing. Allow yourself time just to think and take in the little things. You might learn a thing or two about who you are, and find that you return to your busy schedule refreshed, with new motivation and a new, clearer perspective.

Oh, and planners. Daily planners are great.

The brave part of studying abroad

By Carolynn Spadafino Contributing Writer

The special thing about studying abroad is that you go to a completely new place for a semester where no one knows anything about you and you don’t know anyone, so you can completely reinvent yourself.

When I left, I was Carolynn: the economics major, the Campbell student. Now I’m more than that. I’m Carolynn: the economics major, the Campbell student who spent a semester in Seoul.

Studying abroad is the best opportunity, but it ruins you. It was exactly what I needed, exactly when I needed it and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I was able to grow into myself and decide who I was and who I am going to be.

I loved every memory, even the times when I wasn’t

It’s a mental difference, an attitudinal difference. And it’s a difference to which I’ve never had to adjust before. This adjustment, too, is a growing experience.

Studying abroad is amazing and I recommend it to everyone. People will call you brave for flying to a strange country and experiencing different things. I say the brave part is coming back.

“Aramark does research to recommend various brands and recommends those to the administration,” said Jim Roberts, Campbell University vice president for business and treasurer.

Based on the findings of Aramark, Starbucks showed to be a much-needed addition to Campbell.

Roberts said the Wiggins Memorial Library was chosen as the location because of its central location on campus and the flow of student traffic during weekdays and weekends. Aramark also played a role in this decision, recommending the location after discussions with librarians and administration.

“I am thrilled to know that Starbucks will be in the library, which is perfect for late-night study sessions,” said freshman Ricardo Hernandez, a trust and wealth management major.

The addition of the Starbucks franchise was made possible by food service contractors who paid for the installation as part of their signed contract with Campbell University.

The revenue made from the business will be categorized as a food service fund and will be used to upgrade and change food service venues around campus.

“I hope that they will use the sales from Starbucks to update the food in Marshbanks,” said senior

Oscar Fernandez said.

While details of the Starbucks’ future are uncertain, it is expected that the franchise will be extremely successful. Junior Jacob Berger said, “[I am worried that] the new business will take away from Creek Coffee,” a locally owned

business located next to campus.

Roberts did not say whether or not he thought Starbucks would be a successful enterprise within the creek, but said, “All businesses want to make money.”

Starbucks’ Hours

Regular hours for the new Starbucks in Wiggins Memorial Library will be:

Monday through Thursday: 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Friday: 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Saturday: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

grandmother’s life in 2006.

A biology pre-professional major, Lockamy is on track for a career as a doctor. Having lost his grandmother to cancer at a young age, she has been a driving factor behind his career choice.

“I want to give back and help people, like those doctors helped my grandmother and my family get through that tough situation,” said Lockamy.

Anticipating a stem cell donation procedure was stressful enough. But Lockamy was also still in school, and the donation was scheduled to take place in the middle of his exams.

“All of my professors were very lenient with me,” said Lockamy. “They worked with my schedule and were able to move my exams around.”

The donation procedure took place outside of North Carolina; he cannot say specifically where for confidentiality reasons. Once there, Lockamy sat through a six hour donation process.

During a stem cell donation procedure, blood is drawn from a needle in one arm, then travels through a machine that extracts the blood-forming cells, and then is returned to the body through a needle in the other arm.

“People try to make it

sound scarier than it is.

Honestly, it just felt like I took a quick nap,” said Lockamy. “It’s a little bit of pain, but it is nothing compared to the chemotherapy and radiation these cancer patients are going through on a regular basis.”

The patient received Lockamy’s donation and is doing well.

It is up to the patient as to whether or not they meet the donor at the mark of a year after the donation was made. Lockamy hopes that on the anniversary of his donation, he will have the opportunity to get to know whoever it was he was able to save.

“Knowing that I saved somebody’s life doing that, it was one of the best things I have done in my entire life,” said Lockamy.

In sharing his story, Lockamy said he hopes to raise awareness for the process of donating bone marrow or stem cells.

Having received a positive response from the public at the time of his donation, Lockamy said he hopes to have the chance to speak with his classmates at some point during Campbell University Connections.

“There are so many benefits from donating,” said Lockamy. “You have the chance to save someone’s life and it just gives you a good feeling.”

TAG Day

continued from page 1

Some items and places that will be tagged are the bronze camel statue, the Dinah E. Gore Bell Tower, some classrooms around campus and the periodicals room in Wiggins Memorial Library.

These are not the only things that will be tagged.

Swain said more than 400 spaces and items around campus will wear a bright orange tag on Thursday. As students go about their routines, Swain said the symbols of financial support “will be hard not to notice.”

Students will not only be able to see what has been donated, but they will also get a chance to truly “Thank A Giver.” Swain said students can get involved by taking a selfie with a tagged item that has benefited them. Then students can post their pictures on social media feeds, adding a short word of thanks and #CampbellTAGDay. Students who do this will be entered to win an iPad mini.

Students can tag up to two friends in the photo, receiving an additional entry for each tagged friend.

Finally, tents will be set up outside of the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business and in Academic Circle. Students can stop by these tents and write a short thank-you

note that will be mailed to a Campbell donor. The first 500 students who both write a thank-you note and show their tagged selfie post will receive a free t-shirt.

One goal of this event is to educate students about the impact donations have on their education.

One way donors have been able to help students is through awards and scholarship money. Brianna Grimm, a freshman music education major, was able to receive a scholarship made possible by donors.

“It solidified my decision to attend this school. No one else was really able to offer me as much money,” said Grimm.

Swain said she hopes this will be the first of an annual tradition to make a point of remembering all the contriPhoto by Tyjah Johnson butions donors have made The camel statue, a popular spot for group photos, is one of the many things that will wear an to Campbell and the lives of orange donor tag Thursday. students.

“The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” hits Campbell’s stage

By Percia Williams Staff Writer

It’s that time of year again, when the Campbell University Department of Theatre Arts showcases its annual musical performance.

This year’s production is “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” under direction of Professor Georgia Martin. The play is a musical comedy about middle school

children as they go through ups and downs during their county’s spelling bee.

The play will show in Ellis Theater on Oct. 17, 23, 24 and 25 at 7 p.m., and Oct. 19 at 2 p.m.

Professor Martin said she originally chose the production because of its small cast size and fun subject matter.

Due to the musical’s small cast size, roles were limited to theatre and music majors

and minors. Professor Martin said the production’s casting process was a tough one due to stiff competition among the students.

Rebecca Catalano was the choreographer for the play, and Campbell’s own choir director Phillip Morrow took the lead on music.

When asked about her artistic approach to her plays, Professor Martin said it is all about the connections

between characters and the audience’s response to those connections.

“I want the audience to want every character to win… and when the characters lose, I want the audiences’ hearts to break a little too,” said Professor Martin.

She said she will judge the success by the audience’s response.

There is one week left of pre-production time before

the play is to be performed in front of live audiences.

With so little time left, Professor Martin said she hopes there is enough time to finish it all.

Tickets to “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” are on sale now with discounted student tickets available at the box office beside Ellis Theatre and on Campbell’s website.

A unique role with ‘childlike enthusiasm’

By Rachel Rock Features Editor

Senior Tanner Johnson, a communication studies major with a theatre minor, is one of the students who will soon take the stage in the Department of Theatre Arts’ production of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.” The play, a musical comedy about a competitive county spelling bee, will feature Johnson as spelling bee contestant Leaf Coneybear.

Johnson said, “[My charac-

ter, Leaf] is not given a specific age, but I am playing him as 12 or 13.” Being a senior in college, Johnson reached back into his childhood in order to get a better understanding of his character.

His character, Leaf, who has severe attention deficit disorder, is a homeschool student with seven or eight siblings. All of these elements combined make the spelling bee exciting for him.

To act the part of Leaf Coneybear, Johnson said, “I looked back at my childhood for inspiration.” By looking

back at his childhood, Johnson was able to find the childlike excitement Leaf possesses at all times.

However, the character wasn’t an exact parallel to his own personality as a child.

Johnson said, “I was shy and reserved as a kid, so playing this is fun.”

His character is far from reserved. Leaf Coneybear is excited about everything and wants to try anything new.

Johnson said, “I love the Photo by Jordyn Gum childlike enthusiasm that my Tanner Johnson reviews his cues with accompanist, Lisa character embodies.”

If you’re drawing a blank, here’s a refresher: according to Billboard, some popular tracks during this time were “Ho Hey” by The Lumineers, “Little Talks” by Of Monsters and Men, “Somebody That I Used to Know” by Gotye and “I Will Wait” by Mumford and Sons.

The year of 2012 certainly paved the way for more indiesounding, acoustic-based, folky tracks in mainstream music. Many people have had their theories as to why this type of music was gaining speed over Rhianna’s “We Found Love” and Carley Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe.”

Some say it’s the sincerity of the lyrics, that there is more to songs than just love, dancing and partying. Others suggest that people had grown to dislike the sound of technology-heavy basses and overbearing autotune.

Entertainment Weekly’s Melissa Maerz said this wave of folk music “reflects the larger migration toward pared-down lifestyles that started around the 2008 recession and now extends to everything.”

But 2012 was two years

ago. And while there may have been, as Maerz puts it, a “folk revival” during this time, it seems to have run its course now that we are nearing the end of 2014. And as Percia Williams said in her article “Women dominate music charts,” the spirit of women empowerment has taken the place of the folk revival. Artists such as Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, and Iggy Azalea dominate the charts.

So what happened? What happened to the surge of folk music that flooded the Billboard charts? And will we ever see folk music make another appearance?

Whether people like it or not, music trends are, like Pocahontas’s rivers, “always

changing, always flowing.”

The only constant in the music industry is unpredictability. The reason folk-pop music has phased out over the past few years may simply be that no trend is immune to the effects of time.

Around 2012, as we remember, the hipster trend was at its peak, percolating from the indie underground culture into mainstream culture. But isn’t the whole point of hipster culture to like something before the rest of the world can get its hands on it? Perhaps the unintended consequence of hipsters defining popular music is what led to the ultimate demise of the popularity of folk.

Once the indie/hipster

culture rose to the surface of popularity, their very essence and philosophy was compromised, forcing them to redirect their musical tastes once they saw everyone singing along to their favorite tracks by Mumford and Sons.

No one really has a definitive explanation for the transition away from folk music. I think it’s safe to say no one ever will–there are too many influencing factors and circumstances to take into account.

Predicting song popularity and trends is like predicting the weather: hardly ever completely accurate, yet many people make their living on it every day.

Because the majority of the play takes place during a spelling bee, the cast members who play contestants must learn to spell certain words.

Johnson’s character is an undiscovered spelling savant who can spell words when under pressure.

Unlike his character, Johnson said, “I am not good at spelling.” During the rehearsal process, Johnson has been working on becoming a better speller.

Portraying a character who is different from what he was like as a child has been an adventure for Johnson. His costume has also inspired further character development.

Johnson said, “My character wears a cape, and I was very excited the first rehearsal I got to use a cape.” The cape was not just a fun addition. Johnson said, “The cape allows me to play around and feel like my character.”

same time it helps us grow as a team and prepare for our conference schedule.”

The biggest difference in the competition is speed, according to Wolf.

“Especially with teams like Appalachian,” he said.

“They are a whole different level of athlete. It’s a fun experience to play them and a good time for the team to test themselves.”

Another difference is the atmosphere from the crowd and fans.

“At the bigger schools, the atmosphere is much bigger with about 30,000 people, but at the smaller schools, the crowd is around 3,000,” said junior wide receiver Ben Bolling. “You can’t always count on an atmosphere that’ll get you hype, so you have to play even better.”

The season so far is a process, said Minter, and his team took the early season adversity and grew because of it, he said.

“Right now we are in the process of learning how to win,” he said, adding that winning brings energy and confidence to the team.

“With a tough non-conference schedule, it is great

this week during which students will be in full costume while rehearsing for the final production.

Each student character in the play has his or her own quirks, and the adult characters who run the spelling bee are far from normal as well. The combination of these peculiar characters creates an entertaining dynamic.

Johnson said, “I am most

excited for the audience to see how much fun everyone has on stage.”

The cast has been working hard during the semester so that the audience can sit back, watch the bee unfold and anticipate that climactic moment when the winner is determined.

Campbell it tied for first in the league through three games, but there’s still room for improvement, said Bolling.

“We have a good rhythm but we have to figure out how to put all the pieces together,” Bolling said. “We just have to be able to put the whole game together as an offense and a defense and play better as a team.”

As they are learning how to win, there are many things that come up along the way. “Every second counts,” Minter said. “You can’t fall asleep. We have to continue to get better and dominate.”

Starting the season off playing the bigger schools began as a challenge for the Camels but it has made them stronger–mentally and physically–and closer as a team.

that leadership role over the years. Minter gives him much of the credit for the team’s two conference victories this year.

“Every game that we’ve won in conference, we’ve won the field position battle, and he’s a big reason for that,” said Minter.

This season Lutz has punted 39 times with a total of 1,527 yards, averaging 39.2 yards per punt.

“He’s very persistent and very dedicated to his job,” said Danny Dillon, a good friend and four-year roommate of Lutz’s. “He puts a lot of work into what he does, and that’s why he has the good results that he does on the field.”

This year is Lutz’s last chance to put in that hard work for the Campbell team.

“It’s kind of surreal,” said Lutz. “It came really fast and I don’t feel like a senior in college.” Not only is it difficult for Lutz, it’s difficult for the whole team.

“I wish I could convince the NCAA to give him two more years,” said Minter with a laugh. “You can’t replace his leadership and you can’t replace the character that he brings to the football team. He’s a kid that we love to coach.”

Once he graduates Lutz hopes he will not have to stop playing football.

“The NFL is a dream to me,” said Lutz. “If the opportunity arises I’m definitely going to take it.”

And if that opportunity does not come, he still hopes to be involved in sports.

“I’m looking more at sports logo design or web based design,” Lutz said.

“I love sports. I love to be around sports.”

BRIEFS Women’s soccer rallies to top Presbyterian, 3-2 Redshirt junior forward Ashley Clark scored the gamewinning goal for the second consecutive match to give the Camels their third straight victory, a 2-1 decision against Presbyterian Saturday night at a rain soaked Eakes Athletics Complex.

The team has outscored its opponents 8-2 during the three-game streak.

Clark found the bottom left corner of the net on a free kick from outside the right of the box in the 88th minute, one of her two goals on the night; sophomore defender Murita Storey assisted with a pass to the left of the set piece, her second helper in as many games.

Volleyball falls to Northeaster, 3-2 After taking the first two sets, Campbell fell to Northeastern, 3-2, Sunday in Gore Arena. The game, featuring a matchup between the Armstrong sisters, Amelia (CU) and Alexa (NU), marked Campbell’s fourth loss in a row.

After falling short to much larger football programs like Appalachian State, UNC Charlotte and Charleston Southern, Campbell football has managed to bounce back during league play and even its record at 3-3.

Their most recent win

was against Butler Saturday, winning 28-9 and improving to 3-0 in the Pioneer League for the first time in school history. Head Coach Mike Minter said playing those tougher opponents early on prepared his team for much more even competition.

“When you play bigger and faster opponents, it puts you in the position to

play better, and you have to compete and work a little bit harder,” Minter said.

“So that way when you play someone who is just like you, then you don’t have to play as hard, but you still can’t let up.”

Many Camel fans looked at the losses in the non-conference season as a setback, but the team looks at it as its way of coming together

as a team and becoming stronger.

“You always want to test yourself against the best competition that you can,” said senior starting quarterback Dakota Wolf.

“It’s great to have an opportunity to play those big teams and test ourselves and struggle through, but at the See Undefeated, Page 10

Lutz is punting his way to the top

After winning 17 awards so far during his athletic career at Campbell, Adam Lutz, senior punter and holder for the football team, may be able to add one more.

Lutz recently became a semifinalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, an award recognizing the best football scholar athlete in the nation.

“It’s a big honor and I want to represent the school well,”

said Lutz, a graphic design major. “I have a lot of thanks to give to my parents and God, first of all. Even just to be a finalist would be really cool.”

Lutz isn’t the only one who thinks it would be “really cool” for him to win.

“It would be an honor, I think, for him to win it,” said Head Coach Mike Minter.

“I think he’s deserving of it because he’s a leader.”
