    At Scholarship Night FridayFeb. 17, President Stephen R.Briggs announced the donationof a generous sum of money to

    Berry for the Gate of OpportunityScholarship program.

    With the new $10 million DonorOpportunity Fund, the donor hasallowed the addition of 80 studentpositions for the scholarship.

    The goal of this donation is tohelp more students work throughcollege with the prospect of grad-uating debt free and to inspiresupport from Berry alumni andfriends for the Gate Scholars.

    In his campus-wide email,President Stephen R. Briggs saidthis remarkable gift is meantto inspire support among alumniand friends by matching dona-tions from individuals and groups

    wishing to establish new Gate ofOpportunity Scholarships.

    Junior Mary Castro said sheenjoyed Scholarship Night andgetting the opportunity to meet

    donors to Berry.It was a wonderful event

    that helped us put faces to thepeople that are helping us pay forschool, Castro said.

    Castro said she thinks thedonation will mean a lot in the

    future.We know that there will be

    opportunities for future stu-dents, Castro said. Im excitedthat deserving future studentswill have the opportunity to cometo Berry. Its great that people aregenerous enough to donate thatkind of money and desire to helpstudents afford college.

    Gate of Opportunity Scholarsare required to participate in thestudent work program the sum-mer before enrolling and mustwork a total of 4,500 hours dur-ing their four years at Berry. Thisworks out to 16-20 hours a weekand 40 hours a week each sum-

    mer. If Gate Scholars completeless than the required hours, theyare responsible for paying backthe difference.

    Instructional Services Librarian Elizabeth Andrejasichsaid the room is open to students for individual or groupstudy when the room is not being used by a class; however,students will not be able to use the iPads unless they arethere with a professor for class. Students can ask a workerat the circulation desk to unlock the room.

    In the words of Tim Gunn on every sea-son of Project Runway, Make it work.Class of 2012, weve spent eight semesters

    doing just that. So we better bring it whenw lv.

    Dear Ms. Turnbuckle,So recently I started making a lot

    of new male friends.I thought, since Berry is such a

    largely female school, more men in mylife would balance everything out.

    Sadly, my friends are not veryexcited by this idea. They are all call-ing me too irty. I even had a friendsay I was out to steal her man whenall I did was get his phone number fora project.

    I dont understand. Am I justaccidentally irty with boys or am Iunknowingly out to get all my friendscrushes?

    Or is everyone just going crazyover nothing?

    Sincerely,

    Boy Crazy at Berry

    Facial recognitiontechnology leads to

    privacy concerns

    e one of the main places individuals encounter facial recognition technolo-

    hrough the use of the Internet. Some computers, such as the Toshiba Satel-

    le users to unlock their accounts through facial identication. Furthermore,

    etworking sites utilize this technology as well. Some of the most popular are

    he phototagger application on Facebook users facial recognition to makens" so that users can easily identify their friends in uploaded photos. Ac-

    ebook.com statistics, as of September 2011 it has 800 million active users

    n average more than 250 million photos a day.

    ed out of New York City, enables users to nd their "face-mate" by pairing

    tric measurements. The idea is that people are more attracted to individuals

    at it's 2012 Smart TV line up will have facial recognition tech-ly log them into their personal Smart Hub prole. Smart Hub

    uch as Netix and Hulu. It also logs the history of each user

    mensions of the picture accordingly. This 55 inch television

    Facial recognition technology has grown into a prevalent force in the daily

    lives of people throughout the world. The technology applies an algorithm

    to identify and digitize every face it comes in contact with and catalogues the

    information for future use.

    The emergence of facial recognition technology has raised a question of pri-

    vacy throughout the world. Although the founders of the United States never

    explicitly used the world privacy when writing the U.S. Constitution, the con-

    cept has been interpreted in the Fourth Amendment.

    Therefore, its a negotiated right, Associate Professor of Communication

    Brian Carroll said. And its constantly being negotiated and renegotiated.

    In addition to being the director of the Honors Program at Berry, Carroll

    earned his Ph.D in from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and

    regularly teaches media law. He said every time a new technology emerges, its

    difcult to anticipate how active it can become in our daily lives.

    When a new technology rolls into our lives, it comes with all sorts of hype

    and promises and a parade and streamers and confetti, Carroll said. But

    once its used, it changes. Its bent, its reshaped, its transformed and it pops up

    in places we never expected it to pop up.

    Facial recognition technology has emerged in everything from law-enforce-

    ment to social networking. Facebook has already implemented facial recogni-

    tion technology in their photo-tagging program, regardless of a persons own-

    ership of a Facebook prole.

    How about people like me that arent in Facebook, who didnt ever read or

    sign or agree to any of that stuff and our faces are on there too, Carroll said.

    That really kind of makes me mad that I never had a say.

    Carroll said the people who protest the implementation of facial recognition

    technology dont necessarily fear that secrets will be exposed but fear the lack

    of ability to control their personal information. This information, Carroll said,

    is the kind that can only be given away once.

    Your face, once its digitized, can go anywhere, for anything, for any rea -

    son, Carroll said. Thats my fear.

    In addition to the corporate and social uses of this technology, there are al-

    ternative ways to utilize facial recognition programs. The initial developments

    of such technologies were implemented in airports after September 11 ter-

    rorist attacks and the programs have since spread into other law enforcement

    agencies around the world. While acknowledging the benets, Carroll said he

    considers the costs to be greater.

    Youve crossed a Rubicon when youve given up your DNA, your biometric

    data, and in this case, your face, Carroll said. Its gone forever. Its out of your

    control forever.

    Carroll said the inability to protect personal information jeopardizes a indi-

    viduals ability to retain a sense of identity. Carroll said he has plans to travel

    in a few weeks without his cell phone. He plans to be anonymous and unreach-

    able, if only for a short while.

    I dont want to live my whole life that way but I like to choose it every now

    and then, Carroll said. And these kinds of encroachments on us, on our per-

    son and the information they know about us nick away at our sense of self.

    The Vikings and Lady Vikings played their nal gamesf h ssn ns h cvnn cll Ss ntsd.

    The Vikings last game ended in a 63-58 loss against theCovenant College Scots. Sophomore forward Lake Gra-ham and sophomore guard Mac Whalen led the Vikingswith 14 points each. Senior guard Michael Schulte scoredeight points in his nal game. The Scots were led by juniorforward John DeVries, who scored 10 points.

There were about 500 people in attendance.

    Mens basketball head coach Jeff Haarlow commentedon Schultes performance over the past season.

    I cant say enough about Schulte, Haarlow said,according to BerryVikings.com. To go from not playingto getting 24 and 26 points in different games this year justspeaks to his work ethic.

    Schulte said the team really improved this year.In the beginning, we didnt have trust on or off the

    court as a team. Developing that trust made a big differ-ence, he said.My biggest achievement was being able to be a regular

    contributor on the court this year, he said. God gave meperseverance, especially the rst two years, not being ableto play much.

    Shl sd h lns n hn enlsh f nJapan after graduation. He said he also wants to join Teachfor America, an organization that places teachers in needyschools in America, or join a Fellows program at the John

    Jay Institute in Pennsylvania.The Lady Vikings game had a more favorable outcome.

    Their nal game ended in a 74-60 win over the Lady Scots.Freshman guard Mel McLean led the Lady Vikings in scor-ing with 19 points. Senior guard Brittany Coughlan scoredeight points in her nal game. The Lady Scots were led

    by sophomore forward Jessie Blankenship, who scored21 points. The Lady Vikings committed nine fouls andthe Lady Scots committed 16. Berry College earned 32rebounds, while Covenant College earned 42. The LadyVikings forced 20 turnovers, while the Lady Scots forced23. There were about 350 people in attendance.

    Sophomore guard Alesa Hammaker said she and the restof the team enjoyed playing under Coughlans leadership.

    We got to see her grow as a leader. We saw her step upand take the lead on her own, where others usually haveother seniors to help, she said. Shes a very strong andcondent person.

    Coughlan said the teams biggest achievement this yearwas the second game against Shorter University.

    We played Shorter so close the last game and camewithin 16 points, a big difference after losing the rst gameagainst them by 44 points, she said.

    Coughlan said her post-graduation plans include earn-

    ing her masters degree in education from Berry Col-l nd sn s h d sssn f h LdVkns.

    The Vikings ended the season 3-22 and the Lady Vikingsended the season 8-14.
