LIBRARY BLOG PROMOTES UNDERGRAD RESEARCH

BUSINESS STUDENTS HELP COMMUNITY PREPARE TAX RETURNS SEE NEWS PAGE 3

Jacklyn Ruth STAFF WRITER

The McKee Library recently started a blog to showcase faculty and student research projects. Daniel Maxwell, director of libraries, said he started the blog because he felt the library needed to highlight the undergraduate research being done and there was no place to talk about it. He wanted to make this a part of Southern’s social media presence. The blog writers gather ideas from Campus Research Day. They listen to student research and find leads and follow up on them to put them online. Maxwell encourages students to follow the blog and submit research. He said they are trying to post one blog post once every week about 400 words or less in length. The library has two student writers to update the blog. The blog has a wide range of articles. For instance, Lee Spencer, professor in the biology department, decided to pursue a new way to age the earth using ancient DNA. He wanted to acquire some ancient organic material near the Arctic Circle. The blog describes how his discovery came about. Paul Miller, ’15, got to collaborate with a team at Erlanger Hospital to do research on heart attacks. According to the blog post, “The team is looking for a way to quickly and accurately release patients who are not experiencing a heart attack, while expediting treatment for patients who are in serious danger.” “It’s about optimizing the academic influence of Southern Adventist University.” Maxwell said.

BEAUTY IN BLACK HISTORY MONTH

STUDENT WEEK OF PRAYER 2016: AUTHENTIC Sheann BRandon LEAD REPORTER

From Feb. 1-5, students were challenged to “be real” during last week’s Student Week of Prayer. The theme was “Authenticity: Of Undisputed Origin,” with seven students sharing their personal experiences. “This year we’ve focused on the theme of authenticity,” said Chaplain Brennon Kirstein. “We’ve asked students to grapple with that question. What is it? How does authenticity and spirituality relate in

your story and in your experience?” Student speakers included Yaniz Seeley, senior nursing major, Evron Stewart, junior theology major, Scottie Deal, junior religious studies major, Grace Bondurant, senior nursing major, Stephen Rogers, senior history major, Alex Gallimore, clinical mental health counsel master’s student and Anthony Burrell, senior theology major. Kirstein said student speakers were chosen through a committee that received student, faculty and staff recom-

mendations. “What I love about [student week of prayer] is a variety of different students share their stories of how God has been real to them,” said Kirstein. “Authenticity is just a rich theme to emphasize that portion, that part of our spirituality: being real, being authentic, losing the masks, losing the facades that we throw up so easily.” Student speakers each presented how authenticity related to his or her life through personal stories or spiritual Continued on page 4

CONCERTO COMPETITION CONCERT SHOWCASES TALENT FROM FAR AND NEAR Bethany thoRnton STAFF WRITER

Southern Adventist University Symphony Orchestra’s Concerto Competition concert featured competition winners from as near as Southern to as far away as Andrews University. Young musicians who played well enough to win earlier auditions earned the opportunity to perform with the symphony on Jan. 31. At the end of the annual concert, an unaccompanied 7-minute cadenza, a rarelyperformed virtuosic section inserted near the end to show-

case the soloist’s abilities, was performed by Aleksandra Kasman, junior at University of Alabama - Birmingham. The performance was of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto in D minor, first movement. “The fact that we’re getting to hear the first movement of Rachmoninoff’s third Piano Concerto is really impressive, especially at this level,” said Laurie Minner, Southern Symphony Orchestra’s conductor. The concert began with the orchestra playing the overture to “The Impressario” by Mozart. Next, three pianists

and two violinists performed memorized works by Rachmaninoff, Saint Saens, Mendelssohn and Scriabin, accompanied by the orchestra. Minner said this concert is “the audience favorite, pretty much all year long.” She said the quick pace, variety of pieces performed and different soloists make the concert very enjoyable for the audience. After the two-hour concert was finished, the young musicians performing with the orchestra had only positive comments. Continued on page 4

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

ThurSdAy, FebruAry 11, 2016

PHOTO STORY: BOAT RACE

Delighting in the Almighty To the editor, Cesar Machuca’s recent article “Sweet Like Ice Cream” was great! I love the idea of relishing God as we do ice cream: naturally and intensely. Like Cesar, I believe that we can enjoy the Lord like this. It is not only possible, it is God’s normal. Unfortunately, this relish for God is rare in end-time Christianity. Cesar’s recommended path to this relationship with God “is simply to get to know Jesus. Truly, honestly and prayerfully give God the chance to show you that there’s no reason to find Christianity boring, dull or tasteless.” That approach sounds good, but it is incomplete. For the first four decades of my life, I tried to know Jesus like that. I sincerely, honestly, and prayerfully sought a love relationship with God. But it didn’t work. Then I found out why. I discovered that I could not enjoy God like ice cream until I gave up ice cream. In other words, I can never become passionate about God until I am willing to lose all interest in the things that interfere with my love for Him. I can never appreciate water until I stop drinking soda pop. This powerful concept is beautifully expressed in the book of Job: If you “place your gold in the dust, and the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks, then the Almighty will be your gold and choice silver to you. For

then you will delight in the Almighty and lift up your face to God” (Job 22:24-26). God can be my gold! He can be my delight! But only when I cast all other “gold” in the dust. This is the “treasure in heaven” lesson that Jesus tried to teach the rich young ruler (Mark 10:21). By ridding ourselves of all earthly “treasure,” we transfer our treasure to heaven. And where our treasure is, there our heart will be also (Matthew 6:21). Orange juice is a delightful nectar. But eat a donut before drinking it and the juice becomes sour and unpalatable. What happened? Did the juice change? No, it is our ability to enjoy the juice that changed. It is the same way with the Christian life. By our daily choices we choose how sweet Jesus is to us. What we choose to hear, watch, read, say and do affects our ability to enjoy God. By our choices we can make Jesus sweet, and by our choices we can sour our relationship with Him. Are we willing to relish God? Are we willing to do whatever it takes? Are we willing to leave the worldly bland life that our taste for heaven might flourish? The rich young ruler was not willing. Most end-time Christians are not willing. Are you willing? Michael Dant is an associate professor for the School of Computing.

School of Music hires new flute professor Andrew Mcclure & bonnie chriStiAnSen STAFF WRITER & COPY EDITOR

Kristen Holritz has recently been hired as an adjunct professor to teach flute for the School of Music. Formerly an adjunct flute professor at Truett-McConnell College 2012-2014, she is also an adjunct flute professor at Lee University and currently teaches out of her home. “One thing I will have every student practice is their fundamentals of tone, vibrato and technique,” said Holritz. “Once a consistent tone and solid technique are developed,

the student can transfer these basic principles into any piece of music they are working on.” The School of Music hopes that the hiring of Holritz will attract more students interested in majoring in music. Holritz made her solo debut with the United States Air Force Band in 2005 as winner of the Colonel George S. Howard Young Artist Competition. Holritz has a bachelor’s degree in flute performance from the University of North Carolina of the Arts and a master’s degree in flute performance from the Juilliard School. In fall 2013, Holritz joined the Chattanooga Symphony

and Opera as principal flute player. Holritz also performs with the Chattanooga Symphony Wind Quintet, as well as Schaafritz, a duo with her husband Josh, who is a violinist.

Business students help community prepare tax returns clementson supriyadi STAFF WRITER

The School of Business has begun its yearly free tax preparation service for the community of Collegedale and the greater Chattanooga area. Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) services began on Jan. 31 and will continue until March 3 at Fleming Plaza. According to the IRS, VITA was created in effort to “offer free tax help to people who generally make $53,000 or less, persons with disabilities, the elderly and limitedEnglish-speaking taxpayers who need assistance in preparing their own tax returns.” VITA is a collaboration between the IRS, Urban League of Greater Chattanooga, United Way of Chattanooga and Southern Adventist University. With sites all

throughout the city of Chattanooga, VITA offers many opportunities for students in training and service. “[It’s] open to anybody to volunteer. There’s service learning and internship opportunities for freshman,” said Mark Hyder, CPA and dean of the School of Business. “We need greeters and preparers. You can be certified by the IRS tax preparer [Val Palmer]; that’s a real step up if you’re trying to get a job,” Hyder said they had 165 tax returns last year. “It’s hard to predict how many we’ll have [this year], but we had the best opening so far with 16 returns,” he said. Those receiving help have expressed their satisfaction with the service. Glenda Bales, an Ooltewah community member, highly recommends VITA’s service. “I’ve been coming here for eight years,” said Bales. “They

help me fill out the forms ’cause I don’t know how. I give them a 10 out of 10 with two thumbs up. They’ve always been real nice.” Angel Rhoades, also an Ooltewah community member, was pleased by the pre-

paredness of the students at Fleming Plaza. “My overall experience has been nice. It’s my first time coming here [Fleming Plaza]. I normally go to the Samaritan Center. [Students are] pretty quick here, so I like that,” said

Rhoades. “We really need the money, so everything helps.” Students who wish to get involved may do so by contacting Hyder or Leziel Dela Cruz, graduate student and site coordinator.

insights. “I think student week of prayer brings the campus together,” said Andrew Verrill, sophomore chemistry major. “We get to see a big picture by looking at the individual parts.” Marie Darisme, a junior nursing major, said Gallimore’s talk spoke to her personally due to her desire to share the gospel in a manner not abrasive to others. “How can we go from trying to be an authentic Christian, to being an authentic Christian? Stop trying and start letting [the Holy Spirit] work,” said Gallimore. “Plant the seed. He’s the one who changes the heart.”

Grace Bondurant, senior nursing major, opened up to students Wednesday night about a past pregnancy, abortion, and the struggle to heal. “I have carried this burden secretly, afraid to be open and authentic with anyone for fear of being judged,” said Bondurant. “When I was finally able to reach out to others… that’s when I was able to find true healing and come to this amazing conclusion: God is not disappointed with me, and I don’t need to hide anymore.” Kirstein said a retreat entitled “Hope Reborn” will be held February 19-21. The retreat is for anyone who has had an abortion, taken an abortion pill, had a miscarriage or is suffering from shame from

sexual abuse. “Since it’s a sensitive topic and [students] may feel awkward signing up through Campus Ministries, they have the option of signing up by contacting me instead,” said Bondurant. Campus Ministries provided opportunities for students to refocus on God during the week: a prayer room in the Student Center, live streaming of the meetings for those unable to attend, student workshops covering topics like “how to give an effective Bible study,” and “how to start up an outreach,” 12 hours of prayer held in the student center on Friday night through Saturday morning, and outreach opportunities on Friday and Saturday.

Concerto Competition Concert showcases talent from far and near The judges looked for someone who could not only play well but also perform well, said Minner. “All of it is based on how they perform that day. It’s sort of that undefinable performance sparkle,” she said. “It was very stressful,” said Rachelle Gensolin, an Andrews University pianist and concerto competition winner. “There was a lot of pressure, but it was very exciting.” Despite how she felt about the auditions, Gensolin said she was happy and relieved, after the concert. “They were phenomenal,” said Gensolin about the other soloists. “Every single one of them did really well. They are really musical and talented.”

with the orchestra,” said Allen Liu, a 15-year-old violinist from Birmingham. “I’m really impressed with everything.” Jacob Martin, freshman biology major and pianist, was all smiles, as he accepted congratulations from orchestra members. “It was definitely a good experience,” said Martin. The selection process for the winners who performed with the orchestra began in early October 2015. Each tentative soloist sent a recording to Minner who selected 18 undergraduate or high school students as finalists to audition in front of a panel of judges for a chance to play with the orchestra.

NEWS Student Association Candidates Southern Accent

Candidates are listed alphabetically by position. Candidates were invited to submit platform summaries with a limit of 200 words. Moses Maier, President My life at Southern has been a memorable one. Here I learned many new skills, including leadership skills. Working as an officer in three different clubs has helped me understand how to effectively communicate to people and how to accomplish proposed objectives. My time on Senate gave me the valuable opportunity to meet my constituents, listen to their ideas and incorporate them into action. Last school year, I was a student missionary to the country of Zambia, Africa. This experience taught me, among many other things, that my opinions are not superior to anyone else’s and that through listening to others, I will gain an abundance of wisdom. My vision for Southern is to innovate. By listening to the student body, supporting the team around me, working with the faculty, and exploring positive ideas, I plan to innovate a community of service for the university. By partnering with departments like the Alumni Association, Campus Ministries, and First Year Experience I will strengthen the experience that Southern students have while here and the opportunities that are open to them once they leave. With your help, I will serve Southern and its mission: power for mind and soul.

Greg Manestar, President Do you feel like Student Association is no longer relevant to your life at Southern? We all want a better SA – and together we can make it happen! You can expect me to fight for new ways to engage students on campus. You will see Student Association contribute to student life in ways that you never have before, and you will see through the barrier that has been raised between SA and the student body. My goal is to reach and represent every demographic on this campus; from the most outgoing, to the most dorm-going, from the Chaco, to the Sperry wearers. You’re all part of the community here. With your help, the 100th year of studies in happy valley, and our new president, will be welcomed in with new experiences, a new mission, and a new passion for all that we stand for here at Southern Adventist University. So how will we accomplish this? • Student-created comic strips in the Accent • SA block parties • Outdoor vespers in Coolidge Park • “Fireside Chats with the President” in KR’s

• More SA activity on Social Media • *Insert your ideas here* And today we’ve already taken the first steps. Share your ideas with me on Twitter! @ KeysToSASuccess

Hayden Palm, President My name is Hayden Palm, and I am excited about the possibility of representing you as your Student Association President! I am a junior accounting major currently serving as Student Association Finance Director, and I want to share with you my vision for our University next year. Southern, we need an artificial turf sports field. We need a place where our athletes can play without the threat of mud, where our soccer players can practice on permanent soccer goals, where our fans can cheer from sideline bleachers and where the name of SOUTHERN can sit boldly in opposite end zones. As we build on our campus, let’s build our relationships. Let’s invite students from UTC, Lee University, and Covenant College to worship with us once a semester. Let’s make our faith relevant to both those who know Him and those who need Him. Finally, Southern, let’s genuinely get to know one another at innovative new social events. When we have strong relationships, our University is strong. It would be a privilege to serve as your Student Association President, and I am excited to meet with you and talk with you during the next few weeks.

Martha Freire, Executive Vice President

My passion is to improve the things around me that are not up to par. My primary job as EVP would be to oversee Senate. In my two years as a senator, serving on several committees, I have seen many successful ventures, and many that could use a fresh approach. • Reorganize the current Senate committees to more effectively impact the student body. • Form a Policy Committee that serves as a more direct conduit between administration and the students as school policies are being created and reassessed. • Create Senate events for less recognized demographics, such as a community student appreciation day. • Establish a bi-weekly Senate newsletter, Senate Snapshot, to keep the student body current with the progress and projects of the Senate agenda. Throughout my tenure as your Executive Vice-President, I will have an open-door policy because my mission is to represent you to the best of my abilities. I want and need your input to make SAU the university we all desire it to be. To begin my open-door policy now, you may email at mfreire@ southern.edu, and if you want my personal cell number, just ask, and it’s yours. Talk to me, so I can serve you.

Kit Clements, Social Vice President My name is Kit Clements, and I would love to have the honor of serving you as your Social Vice President. I believe my ambition, innovation, and experience can make next year the best it can possibly be for you. Ambition is my most defining trait. You deserve fully immersive social experiences that keep you engaged and having a great time. I have the resolve and determination to make sure your events are entirely fulfilling—socially, mentally, and even spiritually. Innovation is what brings concepts into reality. It’s time to not only form new, fresh ideas to liven your social life at Southern; but to implement them! You deserve more than just festivals and banquets. I have big plans that will make your social school year the most it can be. Experience is invaluable. Having a Social Vice President that already has worked in event coordination and creating immersive experiences will give you the standards that you are entitled to. I’ve worked in positions that have given me great insight in executing ideas that make lasting memories for others. You’ve heard that college is supposed to be the best years of our lives; help me make that happen for you.

Grace Lee, Social Vice President Hebrews 10:24 says, “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” God calls us to uplift one another, but how can we have any encouragement without first having connection? As Social Vice President, my focus is to create opportunities for students of all class standings to interact with each other, find new friendships, and foster old ones. There are three things that bring people together: good food, good times, and a good cause. I want to partner with local businesses to benefit both students and the local community. Imagine: a free Valentine’s banquet that also allows us to donate to a local charity. I will push for new events like a Battle of the Bands, soapbox car races on the promenade, and even the Ramen Olympics! With my experience in SA at a public high school and current position as Chair of Social Activities for SA Senate, I have a strong sense of this school’s social needs. I truly believe that food, interaction, and social awareness can bring us all together in a wholesome and Christ-like manner. If you believe in any of these things, then vote Grace Lee for Social VP!

Jake Strauss, Social Vice President Allow me to serve you as Southern’s Student Association Social Vice President. I want to make sure the student body has a voice in what happens at our events. For that reason, I am basing my campaign around Philippians 2:3 “Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves.” I don’t want to serve you out of selfishness or conceit. I want to listen to what you want to see at our events. With your input and my many ideas, we will create some awesome and memorable events. Give me the opportunity to serve you as our schools Social Vice President.

RELIGION

Southern Accent

MINISTRY SPOTLIGHT:

Introverts in Ministry Introverts are generally viewed as quiet, reserved, and selectively social. You may ask,“How can a person with such characteristics approach ministry?” Andrew Anobile (Life Group Coach): “Being an introvert in ministry is difficult mainly because I get misunderstood. I love people and good conversations, so people assume I’m extroverted. They don’t realize how intentional I am when I socialize or how it drains me. To combat this, I have to budget my social time like you would budget money. I set aside times during the day to be alone with my thoughts and with God to recharge.” Nicole Woodcock (Student Missions’ Assistant): “I used to think that being an introvert was a hindrance to being involved in ministry, but I have been learning how vital introverts really are. Introverts are part of the spiritual body that Paul talks about; We bring fundamental gifts to the table that the spiritual body needs to function fully. Introversion is a basic personality trait, but this trait can help us to minister to other introverts on their level in ways that extroverts may not be able to reach out. While I am an introvert, I love people and enjoy all the opportunities to build relationships. However, I find myself preferring oneon-one interactions to large group settings. I like to go deeper rather than wider in my interactions, to be intentional, and I believe that my introverted personality helps me with that. There are so many gifts that introverts can bring to the table: deep and intentional relationships, authenticity, humble leadership, etc. What I used to believe was a hindrance to my involvement in ministry is now one of my most effective strengths.” Andrew Anobile is a senior social work and religious studies major and Nicole Woodcock is a junior financial management major.

Anthony Burrell CONTRIBUTOR

Ribs are a delicacy in the South. Pork ribs, beef ribs, baked, smoked, grilled, barbecued, with a dry rub, a wet marinade or a sticky glaze. With so many restaurants that claim to serve the best ribs, how does one sift through the empty claims to find the best quality ribs? So many go seeking after this kind of food that God tells us is not good for us. In many cases, they just don’t know what God has said about it and ignorantly eat the things that taste the best and make them happy. In the beginning, God also told us what would not be good for mankind. He said in Genesis 2:18, “It is not good that man should be alone.” In order to satisfy this need, God actually took Adam’s rib and gave it back to him, formed and fashioned into Eve, the lovely woman that would become his wife. Many young men feel the need of a lifelong companion and helper. Unfortunately, too many young men take their own approach to finding a young lady and find only disappointment and heartbreak. The second chapter of Genesis shows us God’s approach in finding our “rib.” In other words, our best chance of finding success when seeking a relationship with a young woman is in knowing and following God’s fool-proof, fail-proof method as revealed in the Bible’s detailed creation account of man and woman. So, brothers, find your rib. When God first made the man, He gave him a job to do. He created man “in His own image” (Genesis 1:26). Jesus introduced Adam to his Eden home and “put him in the garden… to tend and keep it” (2:15). Once Eve came into the picture, Christ gave them freedom to “[b]e fruitful and multiply,” to “fill the earth” and to “have dominion over… the earth” (1:28). Jesus and Adam existed in close fellowship. When Adam named the animals, God didn’t disagree with the names that Adam chose. Their minds were in perfect harmony. The mind of man was fully submitted to the mind of God. Unfortunately, Adam brought sin into the world and the image of God has been lost.

Finding your rib

Photo by Joshua Supit

If you are a young man longing to find your Eve, your first business is to be re-created in the image of God through Jesus Christ. This is not just theology. This must become your personal experience. You must behold Jesus on the cross, separated from His Father for your sins. You must know that your sins have been forgiven. You must receive life from God’s Holy Spirit every moment of every day to live a life that proves to the world that Jesus’ sacrifice was not pointless. If this is not your experience, you have no reason to expect that God is helping you in your efforts to find a young lady. His first business is setting your feet firmly on the narrow path that leads to life. If you are not walking the narrow road with Jesus, then you must be walking the wide road without Him. This means that you are heading straight for death, fighting your way past the powerful influence of God’s love and mercy until you reach the gates of hell. If this is the case, will God give you one of His daughters to join you on the path to hell? Absolutely not! I’m not saying that you won’t find a girl while you’re living life lost and unconverted. I am saying that if this is you, the girl that you’re with is most likely not God’s choice for you. Adam also had the responsibility of taking care of God’s garden. Even in Eden, the delicate plants needed to be cared for. God gave Adam a work to do. If you want to find Eve,

you need to get serious about God’s work. Eve was made to be Adam’s “helper” (Genesis 2:18). Eve was created to help Adam do the work God gave him to do. Therefore, if you have not gotten serious about God’s work, He has no reason to send you a helper. This is where so many young men miss the mark. Adam and Eve were to have many children to fill the earth. God appoints every young man a place in His garden, the church, to be fruitful and multiply – to win souls. If you will get serious about God’s work of caring for His church and bringing souls into it, God is more likely to bless you with a helper. Adam was also given dominion over the earth. Brothers, we need to have dominion over the earthly elements of our natures. Don’t think that you need to be perfect before you meet her, but we need to be committed to living the overcoming life in Christ. “Sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under the law but under grace” (Romans 6:14). Lusts of the flesh, lack of self-control and unsubdued appetite will put a strain on your relationship. When God brings Eve to your side, He wants you to thrive together. After all these things, God had to do one more thing for Adam before he could match him with his bride. “The Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept: And He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place” (Genesis 2:21). Before Adam

met Eve, he had to go to sleep. He had to stop worrying about whether or not he would find Eve and that means he had to stop making efforts to find her on his own with his own limited wisdom. Just as Adam slept, young men need to learn to rest in the fact that “God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6). God wants to bless you with a wife. Don’t stress and get discouraged when girls you meet aren’t responding to you the way you want them to. And please, brothers, stop performing self-surgery. God had to take Adam’s rib. Only God could make that rib into what Eve needed to be for Adam. Only God can take a young lady and make her into what she needs to be for you. God gives wives, not girlfriends. When you enter into the journey of finding lifelong female companionship, you should expect to find a wife. That means you need to be serious about becoming a man. Real men have been re-created in the image of Christ. Real men are serious about actively winning souls for Christ. Real men are committed to bringing all the earthliness of their natures under the control of the power of reason and conscience. Real men rest in the confidence that God will provide a wife for them in His own timing. Brothers, with this knowledge, commit your souls to Jesus, and you will find your rib. Anthony Burrell is a senior theology major.

OPINION Beauty in Black History Month

southern accent

Fallon Fields CONTRIBUTOR

What does Black History Month actually mean to me? I thought about this for a long time, and concluded that it is not only acknowledging the beauty of being African-American, but also the great diversity among us. Now, as you’re reading this, I bet you’re wondering why I’m talking about the beauty of our race. The reason is because we are taught at a young age that we’re not beautiful, that we have to be a certain skin color to be considered beautiful. In fact, a doll experiment video showed that 15 out of 20 children thought the white doll was good and the black doll was bad. But then again, I did the same thing, too. When I was around three or four years old, my parents took me to a toy store and watched as I picked out a white Bar-

bie doll. They asked me why I wanted that doll instead of the black doll and I told them, “She’s dirty.” My parents told me that was the day I broke their hearts. Even at a young age, I didn’t feel that being black was pretty. Maybe it’s because I didn’t see black people displayed in a positive light like white people are. I don’t know, nor do I have all the answers, but all I know is that right now, I love being black. I love my skin. I love my hair, my eyes, and everything else about me. We are all beautiful. Because of our diversity, we should be proclaiming to everyone how proud we are and how gorgeous we are! When I think of my culture, I always think of how vivacious and strong we are, how everything about us is filled with a sense of life and great love. We should be proud to

Melanin is human Krantzy boursiquot and eloise ravell

CONTRIBUTOR AND MANAGING EDITOR

Melanin is human. These three words contain so much meaning. So, instead of trying to fit all the racial and ethnic issues, tensions and stigmas into words, I thought, why not use a thousand words – photography.

Melanin, the pigment that determines skin, hair and eye color, has become synonymous over the past five years or so to mean black. The issue is this: every person has melanin in them, just some more than others. Melanin is not just a black thing but a human thing. #MelaninIsHuman has be-

come a social media movement and is unique in that it recognizes that race is still an issue in society, but it’s also a common denominator for everyone. Because of this, we need to learn from other cultures and races. So, why aren’t there more cultural initiatives out there as there is with Black History

Month? Blacks have lessons that can benefit the world just as every other race. That’s why I decided to take portraits of people of all ethnicities. If you’re interested, like the Facebook page “Melanin is Human” and send me a message. Photography is the best medium in today’s world because

it is the language of our times. Through this medium, I hope to not only bring to light how we are all united despite skin color, but also to help us face our discrimination and stereotyping of others and to help us recognizing the melanin in all of us.

#ExposeTheElephant: Immigration criStinA rico CONTRIBUTOR

PEOPLE OF SOUTHERN: Brandon and Ashley Ford

Brandon and Ashley Ford Photo by Bryant Rodriguez

“The night before the wedding was hectic. I was up late because honestly we didn’t write our vows until that night before. Thankfully, the family pulled through for us and had everything packed up for me. If it weren’t for my family, I think I might have forgotten my wedding dress. That would have been bad! It didn’t hit me that I was getting married. My family kept telling me, ‘Oh, my gosh, you’re getting married!’ And it was a long time before it sunk in that it was my last time with the girls and living on my own.” Brandon: “Well, the night before was pretty wild! Wait, no that sounds bad. Not wild like that. Honestly, we just joked around and talked until like 5am. But I was feeling it. My groomsmen kept telling me, ‘Dude! You’re getting married!’ And it just felt unreal until she started walking down the aisle. I cried when I saw her. That was my favorite moment. That was when it clicked for me. I was watching her walk down the aisle and just feeling all the love in the church. We were both crying a lot. I was ready to burst. It was a beautiful moment and I don’t know how to describe it.” Brandon Ford is a junior theology major and Ashley Ford graduated in 2015.

Immigration has been a prominent issue in our country for years. Historically, discriminatory laws have been created in the past to exclude the Chinese, and Asians in general, from their constitutional rights and barred immigration of persons of Asian ancestry from any nation. Currently, racial exclusion towards Mexican immigrants cannot be ignored, and the racial impact of the increased intentions to push aside and crack down on Mexican immigrants is unmistakable. Border enforcement operations have been implemented, and places such as San Diego, California have been aimed at sealing the U.S. Mexico border to keep out undocumented Mexicans. Cristina Rico tells her story: Sacrifice. This is a word that I became all too familiar with at a young age. It’s a word that holds a strong meaning for my family. My mother always says, “Nunca te olvides de donde vienes,” (Never forget where you come from). That has resonated with me through the years. These words remind me of the many sacrifices my parents and the generations before them have made to provide a better

life for their family. My parents migrated from Mexico to the United States at the young age of 18 in hopes of a better future. However, the desperation to achieve stability and employment forced my parents to enter the United States illegally. During their transit to the U.S., they put their lives in danger and underwent traumas that left an imprint on their lives. They left their humble homes in Mexico and chose to risk their lives in order to have a chance of a brighter future for themselves and for their future family. My parents have always been very hard working people. It was with hard work, dedication and sacrifice that my parents were able to build a life here and ultimately attain their citizenship. Looking back, their lives were not always easy. They both sacrificed many things so that my siblings and I could have a better life than they did. I will be forever grateful for the bravery and courage my parents had to migrate to an unknown country, assimilate into a new culture and attain their goal of becoming U.S. citizens against all odds. In reality, so many of us can relate to their story. If we had the privilege of being born in this country, it’s because

our parents or the generations before them made the same bold decision to migrate to this country, whether it was to escape oppression or in search of a better future. Many of the Mexican immigrants living in the United States are striving for a better future, but all the while living in fear that any given day everything they’ve worked so hard to attain could be taken away. They live with the fear that they might be left struggling with financial hardships along with a family to support all on their own. Many of these immigrants are devoid of the opportunity to obtain a driver’s license, making it even more difficult to travel to and from work and receive help from the government. Often times, children are bullied and ridiculed for appearing different. They suffer through the trauma of a loss of a parent when a family is separated due to deportation. There are serious, life-long negative impacts that an immigrant family withstands in order to benefit from the freedoms that living in this country offers. With the thriving publicity surrounding Donald Trump and his negative commentary regarding Mexican immigrants, it is easy to become offended

and even angry. His ignorant comments only reveal his lack of true knowledge regarding the fact that this country wouldn’t be what it is today had it not been for immigration. However, I believe that retaliating with hate is not the answer. There is too much hate in the world as it is. Instead, I trust in God’s divine plan. I trust that God is in control and therefore I must choose to react with love and a forgiving spirit. As Christians, we are called to be the “light of the world” (Matthew 5:14-16), making a clear distinction as to how we react when people offend or hurt us. Jesus left us His example to be able to love and pray for those who persecute us. Ephesians 5:2 says, “Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.” How amazing is Jesus that he enables us to love even the unlovable! Remember the example Jesus has left for us. Next time you feel persecuted or attacked, remember that God’s love is greater and strong enough to drive out any ill feelings. Embrace your differences, find joy in your unique culture and never forget where you came from. Cristina Rico is a sophomore pyschology major.

How to find the perfect internship or job Lexie center CONTRIBUTOR

College students are frequently asked, “What do you plan to do when you graduate?” While you might not know how to answer that question yet, it’s not too early to start thinking about it. From freshmen to seniors, these tips will help students get on track for their future career. Books: Sometimes, going “old-school” is the best option. See what books professionals in your field are raving about, especially on social media. Google some keywords for the industry you are in or looking into and see what pops up – you might be surprised. When you hear the phrase “career books,” your first reaction may not be one of enthusiasm. Let’s change that! A good place to start would be memoirs. Find a memoir

of someone in your industry that is sure to be an interesting read. The writing style is usually more relaxed and conversational rather than a textbook how-to style. Also, go to the career section of a bookstore and peruse – you might find the information you’ve been looking for. LinkedIn: In today’s society, keeping up-to-date with social media platforms is key. Profession wise, LinkedIn is where you should definitely spend some time. If you haven’t made a LinkedIn profile – do it now! Making a profile is very simple; it’s basically your online resume. LinkedIn will suggest connections and you can also look people up. Never underestimate the power of networking online. Companies may scour LinkedIn with specific keywords and then will look through the profiles that come up. It’s a good way to communicate

with people in an industry you may want to learn more about. Once you are connected with someone, you are able to message them. Company Sites: Once you’ve set your eyes on your dream job or internship, how do you get an interview? Simply go to the company’s website, find their job/internship board and bookmark it. Check it regularly to see if they’ve posted any new openings. Also, see if you can find a “company roster.” From this list, you can see the different departments they have and who works in them. If you find someone who works in a department you’d like to work in, you can search for that person on LinkedIn and add him or her as a connection. Specific Sites: If you don’t know exactly what company you’d like to work for or just want to see what’s out there, find a site that posts jobs or

internships focused in your field. Talk with others in your department or the office manager in your department as they may have some websites already collected. Some broad job sites are Monster.com, Indeed.com, Looksharp.com, Meojobsonline.com or Simplyhired.com. Connections: Ever heard the saying, “It’s all about who you know?” Yeah, I thought so. Unfortunately, it’s true and in our age of social media and being able to connect with practically anyone at anytime, it’s even more relevant today. That phrase has even more meaning is our Adventist bubble. If you haven’t figured it out already, you will always run into someone who knows someone related to you or that you know. So always leave a good impression! Lexie Center is a senior public relations major.

Defense dominates at Super Bowl 50

Peyton Manning celebrates his second Super Bowl win. Photo: Telegraph.com

caLeb begLey CONTRIBUTOR

The 2016 edition of one of the biggest sporting events in the world has concluded, and the key word of the Super Bowl was not “commercial,” “Dorito” or even,“Beyoncé.” The key word from the night was

“defense,” as both teams showed a phenomenal amount of dominance with their respective units. However, the team to come out on top was the Denver Broncos, who won with a score of 24-10 over the Carolina Panthers. The defenses on both sides

were dominant. The Panthers defense proved to be quite formidable, sacking Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning a total of five times and intercepting him once for 19 yards. However, they weren’t the only dominant unit on the field, as the Broncos defense

sacked Panthers quarterback Cam Newton a total of seven times and intercepted him once. The offensive story was one that left much to be desired on both sides. The Panthers offense, one of the best in the league, was held to just 10 points. Newton did manage to throw for 265 yards, however, and he led the team in rushing with six carries for 45 yards. Wide receiver Corey Brown led the Panthers in receiving with four receptions for 80 yards. The only offensive touchdown for the Panthers came courtesy of running back Jonathan Stewart. There were only two offensive touchdowns in the entire game and three overall. The other offensive touchdown came courtesy of Denver Broncos running back C.J. Anderson, who pummeled his way for two yards and the score near the end of the game. Manning mustered 141 yards in the air and wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders led the Broncos in receiving with six catches for 83 yards. The game started when the

Super Bowl ads delight and disturb Lexie center CONTRIBUTOR

What better way to kick off the Super Bowl commercials than with Kevin Hart? Known for his comedy, he sure did not disappoint in the Hyundai commercial. Hart sends his daughter off on a first date but never really leaves her side. Showing off the car’s tracking feature, seemingly aimed at parents, Hart manages to show up at all the right (wrong) times. Most years the commercials all seem to have a similar theme, whether that is purposeful or not. This year didn’t really have an overall theme that the commercials all fell under. Some were your typical pull-onyour-heart-strings. Others selfpromoted, most used humor and some were just completely out there. The commercials that fall under the “completely out there” category would be the Mountain Dew and their Kickstart drink. From the hybrid creature (a puppy, monkey and baby) to the auto-tune jingle, the commercial will either quickly leave your mind or haunt you

forever. Apartments.com was another stretch of a commercial. Jeff Goldblum, Lil Wayne and a George Washington impersonator starred in the short. Goldblum plays a piano that is lifted to the top of a building where he sees Wayne and Washington grilling. It ends with Wayne kicking a field goal into the city. Rounding out the strange is with Skittles’ commercial. It featured Steven Tyler as he unveiled a selfportrait made entirely of Skittles. The portrait began speaking to Tyler and eventually sang his hit song “Dream On.” The portrait’s solo was cut short after it tried to sing higher and ultimately blew itself up. The commercials that received the most attention and praise from viewers included animals, humor and some good causes. Doritos stirred the pot with their ultrasound ad, as it provoked a mixed reaction on social media. Snickers turned another hangry celebrity into the person’s true self. Their commercial featured actor Willem Dafoe in a white dress and heels getting a little distraught during a photoshoot.

After eating a Snickers, though, Marilyn Monroe returned to her cheerful, peppy self. The first emotional commercial was by Audi. Their commercial showed a retired astronaut reminiscing on his glory days and not having the energy to eat. A younger man approaches him, gets him to go outside and the new Audi R8 is revealed. As the older man gets into the car, they show flashbacks of him entering the space shuttle and lifting off. Let’s not forget about the quick trip into “Ryanville.” Hyundai gave us an inside look at what it would be like to live in a community full of Ryan Reynoldses. It was delightful. T-Mobile used an unfortunate mishap (at Miss Universe 2015) and made light of the situation in their commercial featuring the man that made it happen – Steve Harvey. They also enlisted Drake to recreate his popular track “Hotline Bling” in another commercial. For a company to jump on a viral trend and put a twist on it, they made it fun to watch and got viewers to remember the company a little better.

As a first-time advertiser during the Super Bowl, Colgate used its time in the form of a PSA. They focused on water conservation awareness and used the slogan “Every Drop Counts.” Their product, toothpaste, is barely shown, but they use the premise of brushing your teeth and how much water you waste if you keep the water running. One of the final commercials brought us wiener dogs in hot dog costumes running through a meadow to larger-than-life Heinz products. The final scene shows the different products holding the dogs with the hashtag #MeetTheKetchups. The advertisements we see don’t just show up; There is a pretty penny attached. According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, the cost of a 30-second commercial during Super Bowl 50 was a record $5 million. Last year, for a 30-second commercial it cost $4.5 million, an 11 percent difference. To put into perspective how expensive advertisement space has become over the years, the first Super Bowl charged advertisers $42,000.

Broncos gained an early lead with a quick field goal. From there, the Broncos defense took over and scored the game’s first touchdown with linebacker and Super Bowl MVP Von Miller’s strip sack, which was recovered by Denver in the endzone for a touchdown. The Panthers scored next, as running back Jonathan Stewart jumped over a pile at the goal line to put them on the board. From there, the Panthers scored only once more with a field goal, while the Broncos tacked on another touchdown afterward. The Broncos are Super Bowl champions for the first time since 1999 when John Elway was quarterback. Peyton Manning won his second career Super Bowl, tying with his brother Eli Manning of the New York Giants. Thus ends another NFL season, and I must say it ended rather fittingly for Manning. Caleb Begley is sophomore journalism major.

Even though the commercials are all the talk after Super Bowl Sunday, some movie trailers were able to make it into the lineup. The live-action “Jungle Book” movie debuted a new trailer that seemingly put us right in the jungle with Mowgli. After a four-year hiatus, Matt Damon returns as Jason Bourne in the self-titled movie, making sure everyone knows Bourne is back. Already mentioned in the Bud Light commercial that aired, foreshadowing or coincidence, the trailer for “Independence Day: Resurgence” showed a preview of the world under attack again. Twentieth Century Fox premiered the “X-Men: Apocalypse” trailer. It showed off some new and returning characters from its upcoming feature. At the end of the night, the Super Bowl crowned its winner (the Denver Broncos) and viewers crowned their winners in regard to the commercials. If you enjoy celeb-studded, humor-infused and animalfocused advertisements, then these were right up your alley. Lexie Center is a senior public relations major.
