Liberty University of-ficials announced today that Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal will speak at the school’s 41st Com-mencement Saturday, May 10, and author Eric Metaxas will speak at the Baccalaureate service Friday, May 9. Now in his second term as governor, Jindal has worked since his 2008 inauguration to im-prove his state’s economy, health care and employ-ment record, among oth-er things.

“Governor Bobby

Jindal has lived the American dream, rising from humble beginnings to become one of the ris-ing stars on the national political scene — and his rise has not yet waned,” Liberty President Jerry Falwell said. “Many be-lieve he could hold the highest office in the land someday. I believe he will be an inspiration to our graduates, not only be-cause of his life’s story, but because he shares many of the conservative and Christian values that Liberty University grad-uates hold dear.”Metaxas, author of New York Times bestsell-

er, “Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy,” has previously spoken at Liberty Convocation. “Liberty University is proud to welcome Eric Metaxas to address our 2014 graduating class,” Falwell said. “He will continue the long tra-dition of distinguished evangelical leaders who have participated in Lib-

erty’s graduation cer-emonies.”Commencement will take place in Williams Stadium at 10 a.m. Sat-urday, May 10, and the Baccalaureate service will be held in the Vines Center at 6 p.m. Friday, May 9.

GRADUATION — With commencement only days away, students celebrate the end of their college days.

Film students see successCinematic Arts graduates first class

Josh Janneyjjanney@liberty.edu

A landmark in Liberty University’s history will be made this May as 32 stu-dents will graduate as the first class of the Cinematic Arts department.The program has come a long way since it launched in the fall of 2012. Accord-ing to Stephen Schultze, executive director for the Cinematic Arts Zaki Gor-don Center, the program was initially intended to be a one-year program applied at a community-college lev-el. It is now being applied as a bachelor’s program.“What has evolved is an awareness of the film pro-gram and the integration of the program into the film industry,” Schultze said. “Many of our students are getting placed in jobs when they graduate.”According to Schultze,

the Cinematic Arts program has a “learn by doing” phi-losophy. During the first semester of their senior year, students must write and direct their own short film. Other as-signments included in the program are writing a full-length screenplay and work-ing on one of the school’s feature films.

One of the aspects the students had to learn was how to adapt to difficult cir-cumstances that would alter the film schedule.“Sometimes on the day of a film shoot you will not have a location. You will not have an actor. You will not have food and stuff for the crew,” senior Sharon Chimere-Dan said. “So you just have to quickly make due with something else and solve that problem some-how.”

Advertising deadlines are set one week prior to publishing. For sales, the advertising contracts need to be submitted at that time to secure a position in the next edition. Ads purchased after deadline will only be placed if space is available. This deadline gives us time to make minor changes to existing ads or to place ads that you have created. However, for ads that need to be created and designed, more time will be needed. If this is your first advertisement, you will need to allow extra time for development.

A proof may be requested for ads designed by our staff. Proofs will be sent no later than Thursday before the publication date and will be the final proof unless otherwise notified. All changes to be made must be submitted by 3 p.m. Friday before publishing. A second proof will be sent only if deemed necessary by our staff. Late changes to design will only be accepted if they greatly affect the content of the ad.

All artwork must be submitted in one of the following electronic formats: PSD, JPEG, INDD or PDF. A fax is acceptable to submit text for ads being designed by our staff; however, text will be retyped for final art. Ads created in Publisher must be saved or exported into a PDF Document. Please note that we can not make changes to these files.

All property rights including any copyright interest to any advertisement produced using artwork, creative ability and/or typography furnished or arranged by the Liberty Champion will be property of the Liberty Champion. No such ad or any part thereof may be reproduced in other publications without prior written consent of the Liberty Champion.

The Champion reserves the right to edit, modify, classify, reject or cancel any advertising deemed objectionable, whether in subject matter, illustration or content at any time. This includes the right to re-border or reduce advertisements in order to accommodate page column widths or to insert the words “Paid Advertisement” at the top or bottom of any advertisement simulating news material.

Ads must in no way represent products, activities or morality that are in opposition to the Liberty Way (student conduct policy handbook) or openly against the doctrines held by Liberty University. This may include but is not limited to alcohol use, tobacco or drug use, sexuality (including immodesty) or opposing religions and ideas. Ads that contradict university policy will be altered or rejected depending on content.

The Liberty Champion does not guarantee ad position. Ads will be placed in accordance to the design and layout of the issue. Ads may be placed by request in a specific location only if the layout and design are compatible. Failure to meet position requests will not constitute cause for adjustment, refund or rerun.

It is the responsibility of the advertiser to notify The Liberty Champion if an error has occurred in an ad within one week after publication. Error notification later than one week will receive no attention. Make-good and credit adjustment disputes will be considered on an individual basis. Adjustments will be made only for the portion of the ad in error and only for the first insertion of the ad. No allowance will be made for errors that do not materially affect the value of the advertisement as determined by The Liberty Champion.

Credit will be established on a per client basis. Payment is expected within 30 days of publication date. Accounts with a balance of more than 30 days past due may be subject to a 1.5% service fee of the total unpaid account balance. Other penalties may include but are not be limited to refusal of advertising or require non-refundable payment in advance until credit is re-established.

Failure to receive invoice or proof is not recognized as a valid reason to withhold payment. Verbal agreements, promises or waivers of any nature not contained in this rate card shall not be binding.
