Last year, a committee was created to over-see the possibility of an honor code at Berry.The idea never became a reality, but onestudent remains passionate about the topic.

According to the committees page onVikingWeb, an academic honor codeis an approach to student self-govern-ment in terms of academic dishones-ty policy. An honor code is designed toset all students to a standard of integrity.

One of the major purposes of an honor codeis placing the responsibility of upholding ac-ademic integrity into the hands of students.

Junior Ben Riggs is very passionateabout the idea of an honor code becauseof his personal experience with them.

Riggs attended a private boarding school

called The Webb School during most of hishigh school years. The Webb School hashad an honor quite for a lengthy amount oftime. Riggs said that his attendance great-ly inuenced his passion for honor codes.

The honor code at Webb, it greatly in-uenced my life in this way, it taught methe importance of virtue, Riggs said.

Riggs said that the honor code atThe Webb School dealt with a high-er purpose than just cheating.

This isnt really something thats endis predominantly to stop cheating or isacademic, certainly there is an academ-ic component of not cheating or not pla-giarizing, but the end is really to educatethe whole person for life, Riggs said.

Riggs also said that the honor codehelped to create a closer communi-ty among those at The Webb School.

Riggs said that an honor code could

be effective at Berry, but it must be

something that is led by students.I think an honor code would work at

Berry, the problem is: honor codes haveto happen organicallybecause they areupheld by students, it has to be some-thing that students want to do, Riggs said.Riggs also said he thinks that an honor code

could enhance school pride and spirit at Berry.I could see an honor code really build-

ing pride in the school, pride in our college,and that has been something that has beenlacking in some areas, and I think if we didhave an honor code, it would be somethingthat students could put pride in, Riggs said.

Riggs explained that if the students werenot the organizers of the honors code, thecode would more than likely phase out.

It can only happen if this is somethingthat is led by students Riggs said. Welooked at a few schools that had implement-ed an honor code basically from the admin-istration down, and what we saw was thatthe honor code kind of hung around for ve

years or so and then zzled out basically be-

cause the students werent on board with it,Riggs was not surprised at the nal ver-

dict of students because of low studentturn-out at honor code-related events.He was however, surprised that an hon-or code was not already in place at Berry.

I was surprised when I rst came to Berryand it did not already have an honor code,

because it seemed like the student bodywould be for something like that, where thatit would have already come up, Riggs said.

Though Riggs is passionate about honorcodes, he said that he would not use his po-sition as SGA President to further the issue.

I realize that through my position I hadto be objective because if I was not objec-tive then it wouldnt work, Riggs said.

Last year, the Honor Code ExplorationCommittee was created as a sub-commit-tee of the student life council. Debbie Hei-

da, Vice President of Student Affairs, saidthe purpose of the Committee was to see ifBerry wanted to adopt an honor code policy.

The gist was to explore whether wewere interested in pursuing becoming acollege with an honor code is what thetask force was set up to do, Heida said.

In addition, the Committees page on Vi-kingWeb said that the goals were to gaugethe interest of faculty and students as wellas look into possible honor code mod-els specically for liberal arts colleges.

The committee worked on this pro-cess for approximately a year and a half,

but last year it was concluded that therewas not enough interest on campus tocontinue the process of exploration.

I think you have to really be able to showthat you have sufcient student interest tomove forward, and I dont think we foundthat, Heida said.

KCAB took over the lawn of the Cage

Athletic Center on Saturday, Sept. 14 with

their Olympic Countdown event, which was

intended to help students prepare for the

Mountain Day Olympics next month.

Amy Funk, senior and KCAB president,

helped plan the event, along with juniorsKierra James, Brittani Farmer and J.C.

Albritton. The event was originally planned

as a triathlon, but KCAB changed its format

unfamiliar with Mountain Day Olympics

an opportunity to see what challenges they

might have when competing next month.

Competitions included tug of war, pyra-

mid building and an egg toss.

The Olympics event also featured water

inatables. These inatables were original-

ly scheduled to appear at their own event

over Labor Day weekend, but this event

was postponed due to inclement weather.

KCAB programmers and sophomores April

Vaughan and Grace Hopkins coordinated

the inatables portion of the event. Vaughan

said that they wanted to give students the

opportunity to cool off on a hot day.

Funk estimated that 50 people attended

the event. The relatively low attendance

may have been due to the Olympics being a

rst time event, Funk said. Events which are

held every year, such as Casino Night and

Skate Night, have become Berry traditionsand are more popular.

New events have a harder time, Funk

said.

Beauty pageants are not typically

what someone waits a whole year to

watch, but they are usually entertaining

and amusing to say the least. As many of

you know, the Miss America beauty pag-

eant this year was held on Sept. 14. Nina

Davuluri was crowned Miss America

2014. Whats so special about this year

compared to any other year? Davuluri is

the rst woman of Indian descent to win.

The issue is that people think that

being Caucasian and American are syn-

onymous. Another big issue is that those

people are wrong, and not all of them

know it. There have been multiple nega-

tive comments made about Miss Ameri-

ca 2014. People became more concerned

with her race rather than her overall per-

formance in the pageant. The racism is

more than appalling; it is an issue like

this that reminds us that racism still ex-

ists, and we have to do our best to speak

up to defeat it.

Finding a solution to stop racist and

hateful remarks is more difcult than it

sounds. Racism is never okay, but whatsworse is when we accidentally glorify

the people who made the racist remarks

by republishing their nasty statements.

When we do this, we end up doing ex-

actly what those people want us to do.

It then makes more of a story for them

when it shouldnt be.

In response to all of the offensive

remarks, Davuluri said, I have to rise

above that. I always viewed myself as

rst and foremost American. The sto-

ry here should not be the hateful things

that ignorant people have said about

Miss America this year. The fact of

the matter is that according to the First

Amendment they have the right to say

what they want. But so do we. Drown

out the unnecessary hateful remarks that

are lled with racism. How do we do

this? Fill the space with positive remarks

on why Miss Davuluri winning is a big

deal. Drown out the racism by having a

louder voice that reinforces positive and

informed beliefs.

So, lets look at the winner of Miss

America 2014 from a different stand-

point. Although having a winner of

a beauty pageant with Indian decent

means that we are steering away from

racism one step at a time, it also shows

that we have more steps to go. We have

identied that having her win is a huge

deal, but thats just one beauty pageant.

What about those of a different racethan Caucasian attaining anything else?

Thats what we need to get people to pay

attention to so that we can continue to

keep moving forward away from rac-

ism. Let's be louder than racism and de-

feat it once and for all.

How to be louder than racism

Appreciate the little things in lifeDoes it ever feel like your life is moving too fast for you to

keep up? Like there just are not enough hours in the day to get

everything done? I sure have. Even though your college years are

supposed to be some of the best years of your life, they can be

overwhelming.

During my freshman year at Berry, I found myself racing from

one place to the next, trying to keep up with schoolwork, my job,

social time, and sleep. It was exhausting. I reached my breaking

point that spring, while I was writing a paper for my history class

at 5 a.m. in a laundry room. I knew that something had to be done.

It was then that I resolved to slow down and stop trying to do it

all.As a result of slowing down, I began to pay more attention to

the small things in life. You know, those little things that most

This semester, I urge you to appreciate the small things. There

is nothing quite like sitting on a bench to listen to the birds on a

crisp afternoon, stopping to help a turtle cross the road, eating

a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on ne china, searching for

heart-shaped rocks, rolling down the grassy hill at Frost Chapel or

hand-writing a heartfelt letter to someone you care about.

You might even try having coffee with a friend, without bring-

ing along homework or a cell phone. That sort of quality time can

give you an entirely new appreciation for someone that you might

have known for years.

Even if you enjoy the speed and action that college life brings,

you might be surprised at how refreshing it can be to bask in thesilence and enjoy your surroundings. Take your cue from Martha

Berry. She was a go-getter who knew how to get things done, and

Dig a little deeperEveryone likes something.

Actually, everyone probablylikes a lot of things. It is in ournature to have interests. Theseare the things we spend our freetime chasing after, whether itis an awesome new movie, anepic new place to explore or adelightful new restaurant downthe street. That said, it is easy tomiss out on what our passions

could actually offer us if we justdug a little deeper.My very rst taste of coffee

was a Java Chip Frappuccinofrom Starbucks at some pointduring high school. It was quiteyummy, and made me nallyrealize that coffee shops actual-ly sell nice-tasting things. I evenstarted drinking hot, regularcoffee, just with a lot of cream,sugar and even avors dumpedinto it.

I could have easily continueddrinking overly sugary drinksfrom Starbucks and highly taint-

ed coffee, as many people do,but I realized how interestingthis ancient drink was. I soughtto understand it at a deeper lev-

er making coffee with a siphon.Over the course of a few

months I came to appreciate theamazing and complex worldof coffee. I started drinking itstraight-up black and orderingfewer and fewer drinks full ofsyrup. By digging a little deep-er into this thing I found that Iliked, I discovered an entirelynew world of wonderful, caf-

feine-lled drinks. I also discov-ered how unhealthy and horri-ble the drink I originally came tolike actually was.

That is not to say that I do notstill order a frap every now andthen by any means (Swift andFinchs Coca-Cola Coffee Frapis delicious, by the way), but bydoing more than taking coffee atface value. I found a wonderfulnew world that I never expectedto.

The great thing is that this ap-plies for just about everything.Going just a little bit deeper into

things that may just seem mild-ly interesting at rst can revealamazing things you never evenimagined. It may take a little

What the media truly teaches ushe media socially constructs us at a youngtelling us what beauty and normalcy is,

sing indirect effects for the American nation.se ideas socially condition us, and we haveome buyers of the ridiculous ideal of mediasnitions of beauty and normalcy.

Women and men are socially constructedugh lm and print telling us the beautydards for each gender. Film and print tellerica how we should look and how our bod-hould appear or be presented.

According to the male gaze, we look at theld from the camera lens of a man. Through

dia, we almost always see women physicallypsychologically as objects. Because of this

e old women are marginalized in society.men are only valued when they are youngcically in the age range of 19-30). Also,

a woman to be beautiful, not only must shep up with her feminine architecture. Curves?such thing. To advertising, a woman with

ves is actually a woman who does not have, but hipbones. To be beautiful is to be sexyl times, at every age. But women are not the

y gender objected to the social construction ofuty standards.

Men are also stuck with the stereotypical males through lm. The physicality of men is likehyper-sexualization of women. According

to lms, men want power, and in order to attainthis power men must have bodies that will pre-vail. Also, the beauty standard for a male is tobe masculine. That is the ultimate goal. In orderto be masculine homophobia must take place.Also, being a husband is seen as emasculating.This view did not take place until the late 1970ssince womens liberation. To be married is to beundersexed. To be undersexed is to ght the ideaof beauty for a male.

According to the pathology of the body theo-ry by Julia T. Wood, media feeds us the idea thateveryone has something wrong with them andno matter how good we are, we are not goodenough. These beauty standards are impossibleto attain. Along with the ideals of beauty that themedia gives us, it also has an indirect effect uponus. It feeds us behaviors and ideas indirectly.

Media is memorable, whether they do it dis-creetly or not. We undergo direct and indirectgender messages along with adapting behaviorswe so frequently see, hear or read.

According to the general aggression model,exposure to violence leads towards aggressivebehavior. The more we are exposed the morethat we nd it normal. In media, there are .88 vi-olent acts per minute. These aggressions are splitbetween social and physical. For women, it isusually social aggression; with men, it is usually

physical aggression.Men usually dene their masculinity throughaggression and violence like Brad Pitt in FightClub. Girls dene their feminity through so-cial aggression like Rachel McAdams in MeanGirls. The more aggression people are shownthrough a comical manner, the more they areadapted to understand that there is nothingwrong with aggression and violence.

In the music video Love the Way You Lieby Eminem and Rihanna, a very violent relation-ship is shown. It basically shows that no matterthe abuse the girl will always crawl back to theman. Though aggression might seem harmlessin media, it indirectly tells the people of Ameri-ca that its normal and should be accepted. Nexttime youre watching or listening to somethingabout violence think about the real message and

if that message is okay.Next time you are looking through a maga-

zine or watching a movie, know that the stan-dards of media coverage is a myth and providegoals to attain something impossible. Know thatif you do not t the ideals of media that does notmean you are not beautiful. Also, just becausewe can become subjected to social construction,does not mean we have to be buyers of theirhighly skewed ideas.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU

DONATED BLOOD?

WHAT TO DO...

Giving blood can be a very intimidating

experience. Many people bypass giving because

needles tend to make people uncomfortable and the

idea of losing a pint of blood sounds scary. However

scary it may seem, giving blood has some really

incredible benets. While there are snacks anddrinks involved, and oftentimes t-shirts, there are

many more important benets involved. Donating

to blood banks is a practical and easy way to serve

the community. One donor has the potential to affect

multiple lives.

Donating may cause some physical fatigue, but

donors are able to leave knowing that they have

made a difference. There are a lot of factors that areexamined before a person may give to ensure that

blood collected is safe for medical use, but donating

blood does not require much of a time sacrice

During the past blood drive on Sept. 10

students came out to give blood, collect

donating 53 pints of blood; 3 pints over the goa

before the blood drive began. The next blood d

information!

Maintain a healthy iron level

in your diet by eating iron richfoods, such as red meat, sh,

poultry, beans, spinach, iron-

Get a good nights sleep.

Drink an extra 16 oz. of water

or nonalcoholic uids before

the donation.

Remember to bring your donor card,

Put on clothing with sleeves

that can be raised above the

elbow.

Eat a healthy meal before your donation

Avoid fatty foods, such as hamburgers,

fries or ice cream before donating. (If

there is too much fat in your blood, your

donation cannot be tested for infectious

diseases and the blood will not be used f

Duck Dynasty star comes to Rome,makes people "happy, happy, happy

Jase Robertson from the hit TV

series Duck Dynasty visited Rome

last weekend to help celebrate the

40th anniversary of Rome Area Youthfor Christ. I had the opportunity to

attend this event and learn a little bit

more about the man behind the beard.

Around 4,000 people gathered at

State Mutual Stadium, home of the

Rome Braves, to hear what Jase had

to say.

If you have never seen or heard

of Duck Dynasty, it is essentially

a television series about a family that

runs a successful duck call fabrica-

tion business. The head of the fami-

ly, Phil Robertson, created the first

double-reed duck call to ever be pro -

duced. Because of the superior sound

and quality of the product, the busi-

ness has seen great success.

Of course, if the show only fo -cused on the production of duck calls,

it is unlikely that its popularity would

be so widespread. What the viewe rs

seem to enjoy most are the hilarious

antics of the Robertson clan. Each

episode is centered on some sort of

everyday activity that usually goes

horribly awry.

One of my favorite episodes

aired a few weeks ago, and featured

Jase and his children moving in with

younger brother Willies family while

Jases home was under construction

and his wife was out of town. Things

went south when Jase filled Willies

bath tub wi th crawfis h and but chered a

beave r in the k itchen si nk. By the end

of every episode, everyone resolves

their conflicts and the entire family

sits around the table thanking God fortheir blessings as the credits roll.

Many people wonder if the Rob -

ertson family is actually the same as

they are portrayed on television. After

listening to Jase Robertson speak on

his life, faith, family and hobbies, I

can say with confidence that the show

is quite accurate.

He has been one of the most

friendly, nicest guys imaginable,

Eric Gillis, Executive Director of

Rome Area Youth for Christ, said.Robertson shared many heartfelt

and meaningful thoughts with the au -

dience, with many comedic moments

sprinkled throughout.

There is a place in our society for

people without beards. Its called the

ladies room, Robertson said.

crowd with impressive duck call

Berry football gets first win in school histoSTEVEN EVANS

SPORTS EDITOR

The Vikings football team made his-

tory last Sunday as the team secured the

schools rst win in Vikings football his-

tory.

After leading 34-7 at halftime, The Vi-

kings (1-1) defeated the LaGrange Col-

lege Panthers Junior Varsity (0-2) with

a nal score of 37-27 to claim their rst

win.

Freshman quarterback Adam Sandinthrew the rst touchdown in Vikings

football history to freshman wide receiv-

er Chris Lilly in the rst quarter. The ex-

tra point kick was blocked, which left the

Vikings historic rst score at six points.

My line gave me plenty of time on the

touchdown play and Chris made a great

catch, Sandin said.

Sandin threw for a total of 111 yards and

two touchdowns on 11 attempts; Lil-

ly gained a game-high 85 yards on four

catches and two touchdowns.

To give more players some experience,

the Vikings used three quarterbacks, tar-

geted nine receivers and used 12 half-

backs total.

This also gave the coaches an opportu-

nity to see how well the backup playerscould play.

Freshman quarterback Sandon Mims

alternated taking snaps with Sandin on

various possessions, and fellow freshman

quarterback Dale Jackson also got some

playtime.

Mims threw for 89 yards on eight at-

tempts, and threw a 56-yard touchdown

pass to Lilly on his rst attempt of the

game.

The touchdown felt great, Mims said.

It felt good to help the team out in our

rst win. It was a great win, but at the

same time we were a little sloppy in the

second half.

Sandin also expressed his excitement

with the outcome of the Vikings rst win.

The rst win felt great, Sandin said.

It just validates all the hard work we

have been putting in since we got here.

The Coaches have done an amazing job

in getting us ready to play. We are coming

together and becoming a family.

Vikings cross country ranked eighDANIEL HAWESASST. SPORTS EDITORThe Vikings and Lady Vikings have started running

this year and they have done it with a style that is

uniquely Berry.

In the two meets that have happened this year, the

Vikings and Lady Vikings have placed in the top ve

and top ten, respectively, in each event. In the rst

meet of the year, the Sewanee Invitational, the Vikings

placed thi rd overall out of eigh t teams, while the Lady

Vikings placed fth overall out of eight teams.

Senior Ryan James won the meet with a lead of al -

most a minute over the next athlete. Because of his

efforts and his success, James was awarded the South-

ern Athletic Association (SAA) Runner of the Week

award.It is certainly an honor to win this award consid -

ering that you are nominated by the coaches from the

different schools who then vote on it, James said. It

is incredible and attering to be nominated for these

things.

After another race at the Furman Invitational this

past weekend, the Vikings placed fth outof 16 teams

and the Lady Vikings placed seventh out of 18 teams.

At the race, almost every male and female on the teams

set a personal record and James was again awarded the

SAA Runner of the Week honor.

Weve had a great opening two meets in general,

James said. One of the important things that we look

out for is being able to race in the second half of the

race. Its being able to nish on a strong note. Every-

one has been doing this in an awesome way and it has

been truly incredible to see everyone grow and mature

already as athletes.

As the teams have continued to improve over the last

two weeks, the Vikings have really been able to grab

hold of the spotlight in a spectacular way. In the sec -

ond week of the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country

Coaches Association poll, the Vikings have earned the

number eight rank in the South region. This feat marks

the rst time that a Viking team has earned an NCAADivision III regional ranking.

The fact that we have been rated as one of the top

ten teams of the South is very encouraging, Senior

Brandon David said. But we cannot get too attached

to this. We must always continue to do our best and

keep pushing forward.

Looking ahead to the rest of the season, Sophomore

Kyle Harris was very encouraged by the effo

team.

Its been a real pleasure to see how far

come, Harris said. We are very optimistic f

of the season. Our mens team has returned

last years top competitors and our freshma

good

The womens team has also had a very stro

strategy and they are executing their strategy

and nishing strong.

The Vikings have also been honored by b

en the responsibility of hosting the SAA Co

Championship meet on Saturday, Nov. 2, at

bowl.

The SAA Conference Championship meet i

the Vikings next home event, but is also cel

the teams senior day.

This will be our senior day and we wouhave our Berry community come out and sup

the meet, James said. Its going to be a h

for us to host, but it also means a lot to our

our school.

lthough the Vikings fell to 2-4-1 with losses to two nationally

ed teams, Ohio Northern University and Ohio Wesleyan Univer-

head coach Richard Vardy was impressed by the character and

l of play that he has seen in his team.

am very encouraged by our performances this past weekend,

dy said. We played very well against Ohio Northern Universi-

nd showed lots of character against a very good Ohio Wesleyan

versity team. Wesleyan was a step above any Division III team

ave seen to this point so it was helpful to see what the next level

ke. We are a good team and we have a very solid soccer program,

t is inspiring to see an established national championship caliber

ram. We did play very well against them though and were lead-

1-0 at the half.

rdy added, Our program overall is in a place where it can con-

ntly compete in the conference. We still need to keep improving

at we can consistently be competing at the regional and national

l.

nior center midelder Matt Seib said he noticed quite the differ-

between last years team and this years team.

Obviously, comparing a perfect 7-0 start to last season with this

s 2-4-1 start is extremely difcult to do, Seib said. I think our

rd does not accurately portray the strength of our team, but it

show the amount of adversity that we have seen just in the past

days where we have played ve difcult games. We have had a

h spell that will ultimately dene this team come November. I

eve that if we stick to being the hard-working team I know we

are that there is no reason we will not have an extremely successful

season moving forward.

One of the main highlights from the weekends play came from

Seib, who scored the goal to put the Vikings up 1-0 over O

leyan University.

It felt wonderful, said Seib. As a team, Wesleyan wa

the strongest opponent I have ever faced in a Berry unif

That is why I really try to focus on leading by example o

both at practice and in games by staying focused and worki

as I can, Seib said. I want to encourage my teammates to best of their potential while challenging them to grow an

their skills each and every day.

Senior Midelder Matt Majestic has also noticed that the

Seib also noted, I have made many lifelong friends fro

periences playing soccer for Berry. I have learned how to s
