Law students face the jury New ties roll inCollege of Arts and Sciences welcomes new deanBy Jubilee AjiboyeStaff Writer

As former provost Dr. Dwaine Greene relocates to Kentucky where he will com-mence his regime as President of Georgetown College on Oct. 21, the Campbell community welcomes a new administrator.

The dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Dr. Mark Hammond will take Greene’s place.

“He is an ex-cellent prodigy,” Dr. Ham-mond said of his suc-cessor Dr. Greene.

Associ-ate profes-sor of chemistry Dr. Michael Wells has taken on the role as the new Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, which took effect on Sept. 1.

Dr. Wells, whom is a na-tive of Harnett County, joined Campbell University in 1996 as an adjunct professor.

The College of Arts and Sciences is the largest and oldest school at Campbell and Dr. Wells said he is prepared to take on the responsibility that comes with overseeing the college.

Wells’ new roles include act-ing as a member of the College of Arts and Sciences’ advisory board as well as chairing the Faculty Evaluation Committee.

Faith and confidence in Dr. Wells are resolute: President Wallace regards him as “an outstanding addition” to their team of highly qualified lead-ers.

Senior exercise science major Aminee Alexander crosses the 421 highway around two to four times a day and is often late to class while waiting to cross the four-lane highway. She hopes the new tunnel can alleviate such problems and provide safety.

Students wait for tunnel constructionBy Mary Ashley BadgettStaff Writer

In the 2013 spring semes-ter, tragedy struck the creek when a bus hit freshman William Lawrence as he was crossing NC-421 highway, which has caused a need for greater safety precautions in

crossing the major highway.Rushed to the hospi-

tal, he was listed in critical condition, but did ultimately survive.

Due to this accident, the North Carolina Department of Transportation along with Campbell University have de-cided to take action to prevent

any further accidents.Plans have been made to

construct a cross-walk tun-nel which would run beneath 421.

The construction is set to begin in August of 2015.

However, due to the recent scare, some question whether the process could start sooner.

David Phittf, the regional traffic engineer of NCDOT, explained how it isn’t easy to begin a major task like this.

“The tunnel has to go through a design process, and we have to be approved for funding, which has recently been accepted.,” Phittf said.

Drawn by the hope of seek-ing justice, many students’ eyes are on the profession of law.

However, not even the law

sector is exempt from the tor-rent of recession.

In a CNBC article by Mark Koba, the job market for law school graduates has steadily dwindled. It seems as the debt of graduate school increases, the number of stu-

dent applicants decreases.Koba reported statistics

which project law-related oc-cupations will have decreased to a one to six ratio: one job for every six law students.

ernment studies Dr. David Thornton hold concerns for Campbell students’ futures.

International students adjust to the Creek successfullyBy Caroline BelmoreStaff Writer

Although the Creek may be cozy and quaint, it is a melt-ing pot of various cultures and ethnicities.

There are currently 77 international students enrolled in Campbell University’s undergraduate program, and 36 international graduate students.

Lois Hupfeld of Campbell’s office of International Admis-sions said “a very large per-cent” of Campbell students are from India.

In an analysis of the 2011 American Community Survey by the Pew Research Center, Ana Gonzalez-Barrera and Mark Hugo-Lopez discovered that Spanish is the most spo-ken English language in U.S, even among non-Hispanics.

The next spoken non-English languages are Chinese, Hindi, Urdu, or other Indic languages, and French.

International Admissions said there are over 50 native languages spoken on Camp-bell’s campus.

For an international stu-dent, breaking the language barrier serves as the first adjustment of coming to the Creek.

An international student from Korea, Grace Han, said the biggest culture shock when she got here was the transpor-tation.

She said Korea had greater access to public transporta-tion, which made traveling easier.

Han also explained the differences in the U.S. and Korean school systems.

In Korea the students don’t

move from class to class, the instructors do. The normal school hours were 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Han has found positive dif-ferences of American schools.

She said in America, society is generally friendlier toward one another whereas in Korea “people never talk to strang-ers.”

However, Han pointed out the “food here is really greasy and the portions are too big.”

Han would like Campbell University to “support more international students.”

The university has an Inter-national Student Services pro-gram (ISS), but Han wishes for more interaction between international students and American students.

Another international stu-dent, senior communication studies major Ali Prazak, came

from St. Thomas, an island in the Caribbean Sea.

Prazak said she feels the people here are very friendly.

She said Campbell is simi-lar to St. Thomas because it is a small area.

But, there are differences among the two

“It’s different the way people talk about race here,” Prazak said.

Many sports bring interna-tional students to Campbell.

As a member of the Camp-bell Women’s Golf Team, Prazak said she has gotten the opportunity to learn a lot about other countries.

Campbell continues to attract various international students to the university.

International Admissions hopes the diverse population will continue to grow.

Study Abroad Column

By Erin Overton and Kendra EricksonStudy Abroad Representatives

Ask any study abroad alumni that question and they’ll laugh, shake their head in amazement, and respond with one word: “Everything!”

And they mean it quite literally. You cannot help but learn while studying abroad.

During the summer of 2013, seventy-four Campbell students participated in study abroad adventures. Some traveled with Campbell faculty to Costa Rica, Italy, France, Spain, and Great Britain. Oth-ers went abroad for intern-ships, independent studies, and language schools.

I studied British literature with Campbell in Great Brit-ain this summer. Culturally, academically, mentally, physi-cally, and spiritually, every part of me was immersed in my learning experience in a way that never could have hap-pened in the classroom or on a vacation.

There was never a minute in Great Britain where I left “the classroom.” Everything around me was a supplement to my lessons. Experiencing first-hand the culture of the nation that shaped the literature I was studying involved every aspect

of me. I was seeing, hearing, and feeling the poetry within the scenery that inspired the British Romantic movement. As I stood on the grassy hill-sides and gazed at the sultry clouds, I realized that William Wordsworth may not have been blabbering on about the beauty of the countryside!

All of my senses and thoughts were completely ab-sorbed in what I was learning in a way that could never hap-pen without visiting the place

where the literature originated.Anna McNeill, a Criminal

Justice major, studied abroad at a Don Quijote Spanish language school in Cordoba, Argentina. McNeill’s daily life depended on her applying her studies and completely immersing herself in her sur-roundings.

“Hearing Spanish 24/7 and having to use it to get food or get to a destination teaches you to go beyond the basic ‘how are you’ Spanish,”

McNeill says. “Learning the language not only depends on whether you gain credit, but also whether you survive!”

McNeill’s typical day consisted of Spanish lessons in the morning, and then living a normal life as an Argentinian the rest of the day. She learned so much more than the basics by being totally engaged in a culture where all communica-tion is in Spanish.

Similarly, Rachelle Fuller’s summer in Costa Rica basi-cally turned her into a fluent Spanish-speaker in just the two months she spent there!

“What makes studying Spanish in a Hispanic culture different is that everything is 100% Spanish, and you pick up important phrases that are not covered in the classroom,” Fuller said.

This active involvement in learning is what makes study abroad unique.

Studying abroad demands every aspect of your attention and pushes you to academic success, cultural conscious-ness, and new self-awareness that you never knew was pos-sible. This holistic academic experience uniquely impacts every element of your person-hood.

Everything changes when you change your surround-ings!

Alumni share what waits abroad

In a tight job market, edu-cation can make the difference between getting hired and getting passed over for another applicant.

Many North Carolinians are going back to school to learn new job skills, and our state’s local community col-leges offer quality education at an affordable price. Private, for-profit career and trade schools can also train students to qualify for jobs such as au-tomotive technicians, medical assistants, and paralegals. But check out a school thoroughly before you enroll.

Some for-profit schools offering classes are excellent. But others seem to be more interested in making money than keeping their promises to students. My office recently won a court order to stop a for-profit school.

Tuition at some for-profit schools can cost up to four times what a community col-lege might charge, and their claims of top quality teachers and classes and high job place-ment rates and future salaries

can turn out to be hollow. To avoid problems, do your

homework before enrolling at a for-profit college or trade school:

-Check out the school thoroughly before you sign up. If a recruiter offers to enroll you immediately and help you fill out financial aid forms, the recruiter may be trying to meet an enrollment quota and might not have your best inter-est at heart.

-Shop around and compare prices. A community college may offer the same degree at a fraction of the price. The North Carolina Community College System also regulates private business, correspon-dence, trade and technical schools.

-If a school’s recruiter promises that it will be easy to get a job in your field after graduation, or guarantees you’ll earn a certain income, be skeptical.

-Check out the school’s graduation rate. If many students don’t complete the program, it may be a sign that

the school isn’t keeping its promises. Talk to current stu-dents about their experiences with the school.

-Ask about class sizes and instructors’ qualifications. Sit in on a few classes. Does the school have adequate space, equipment, instructional material, and personnel to provide quality training? Also, find out if the school is accred-ited by checking with the US Department of Education at http://ope.ed.gov/accredita-tion/.

-If you plan to transfer at some point, ask if the school’s credits will transfer. Then check with the schools you may end up transferring to. See if they will accept the course-work.

-Ask for the course outline, schedule of tuition, fees, books and other charges, rules on missing class, grading policy and rules of conduct. All schools operating in North Carolina are required by law to provide this information in writing.

-If you take out a student

loan, read it carefully and make sure you understand the terms before you sign. You’ll be responsible for paying off the loan whether or not you complete the program. If someone asks you to lie or bend the truth on a financial aid application, walk away.

-Before getting a private loan, research state and federal loan, scholarship, and grant opportunities at www.cfnc.org.

-Review materials the school gives you carefully, including the contract, before you sign up. If the school re-fuses to give you information in writing or tells you that you must first sign a contract, look elsewhere. If a school official makes promises that don’t appear in the school’s written documents, ask to get them in writing.

To report a problem or check out a for-profit trade school, contact my Consumer Protection Division toll free at 1-877-5-NO-SCAM. You can also file a consumer complaint with us at www.ncdoj.gov.

AG remains skeptical of for-profit schools

History/pre-law major Caleb Johnson feels hopeful of his op-portunities after law school despite the recent recession.

LAWcontinued from page 1

cially in light of the continuing weakness of the job market,” Thornton said. “So far almost all of our students who had completed law school and passed the bar have found work; I’m more worried about those currently in law school, and those who are considering enrolling.”

Yet, numerous Campbell undergraduates still have their hearts set on law school. Their ambitions go unraveled, de-spite the declining job market.

“There are a lot of really great [law] schools out there, but the ones I’ve seriously looked at are Campbell, UNC, Wake Forest, Columbia SC, and William and Mary,” said se-nior Caleb Johnson, a history/pre-law major.

For Johnson, his dream job is to become a senior senator for North Carolina.

“I know that seems ambi-tious,” he said, “but I have a great desire to serve the people of this state.”

Julie Beavers, Director of

the Career & Professional Development Center at Camp-bell’s Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law, has firsthand insight into the law educa-tion system, and to the future careers of law students.

Currently in her sixth year

working in the law school, Beavers has seen students go through law school pre-reces-sion, and post-recession.

“This is a very important topic, it’s a topic which I per-sonally am discussing with all of my students,” Beavers said.

“What I’ve found in reading those articles is that they don’t really ever mention middle markets or small markets; not one-hundred percent [of the findings] pertain to North Carolina.”

She said roughly eighty to ninety percent of graduates from Campbell Law remain in North Carolina.

In regard to law school’s high tuition, Beavers said that students need to be aware of fiscal responsibilities.

Campbell Law actively en-gages with its students, aiding them in the fight to be mon-etarily secure. The law school continuously provides data on finances, Bar passage records, and employment data.

According to Beavers, Campbell also has a loyal network of alumni who are active in helping students seek employment.

Beaver also finds the class-room size in the law school advantageous to their future lawyers.

“Campbell Law School is intentionally small, and that’s how they’ve been since they opened their doors in the sev-

enties,” Beavers said. She said not only does the

smaller class size help the value of the students’ education, but it also helps to keep local com-petition low.

Beaver and the Campbell Law staff strive to keep their students grounded.

“The key thing here with students and prospective stu-dents, is to set realistic expecta-tions,” Beavers said.

She recommends that stu-dents branch out into the job market, she advises students to seek internships, develop their soft skills, network, and keep their doors open.

Dr. Thornton reiterates Beavers’ sentiment.

“[Students should] rank as high in their class as possible, and be very flexible with the type of employment they’d be willing to accept,” he said.

Although future law school graduates face potential hard-ships in the future, Beavers hopes students will continue to find inspiration in law.

“Pursue your dream. Never let anyone tell you not to pur-sue your dream,” she said.

WELLScontinued from page 1

Wells said his goal is to modify existing programs and establish new ones, which will meet the needs of today’s society.

Wells said a good example of a successful new program is seen in the growth of the homeland security department.

Provost Hammond said he is ready to mentor Dean Wells as Dr. Greene mentored him

for the twelve years the two worked side by side.

Hammond said he is ready to begin the collective work with Dr. Wells and has already begun lending guidance.

“It is important to under-stand that challenges are not faced by a single person in the administration - collaboration is involved, thus they need to apply that collaboration into the decision making as well,” Dr. Hammond said.

Hammond advises Wells to “seek a balance” when either

making decisions or creating initiatives that are fair to all de-partments within the College of Arts and Sciences.

Dean Wells also has a son who attends Campbell, sopho-more biochemistry major Jacob Wells.

J. Wells said he has high hopes for his father in his new role.

These sentiments are echoed by Provost Hammond as he himself holds confidence in Dr. Wells and the new posi-tion.

According to Phittf, the total estimate of this project is $1,190,000, which is subject to change.

Some students are question-ing the importance of building the tunnel.

“Personally, I don’t think Campbell needs to build a tunnel because there are other ways to solve the problem and the tunnel is such a huge expense,” Isaiah Howard, a business administration major, said.

As of now, NCDOT doesn’t have a final date as to when the tunnel will be completed, but they have been working with Campbell closely to aid the

overall safety issue. “Although I will not be at-

tending Campbell when the tunnel is going to be built, I believe that it is safer, based on incidents that have happened recently,” said Monica Foster, Criminal Justice major.

The building of the tun-nel will introduce changes to 421, including the speed limit decrease of ten miles, greater safety awareness, and a reduced chance of major accidents.

“Not only did the accidents raise concern, but the fact that many students have to use the crosswalk raises concerns too,” said Phittf.

NCDOT and the Campbell University administration hope to work closely in the coming years to finalize the plans.

Spotlight on local businesses:Leland’s BBQ

By Michelle PolowoodStaff Writer

Buies Creek recently received a new

addition to the community: Leland’s BBQ.

With Southern barbecue, wings, and ribs, Leland’s supplements the palatable choices at Campbell.

Employee Rickey Todd encourages students “if you’re tired of Chick-fil-a, Quiznos, or Papa Jones, to come get some barbecue”.

Many customers have reported Le-land’s employees to be nice, friendly, and make you feel right at home.

It’s apparent the employees have been educated in the foods and services they provide.

Manager James Adams seems well aware of the needs of the customers and works diligently to meet them.

He said he knows that students here at Campbell are on a budget; yet, Adams has also noted students have found difficulty with Leland’s pricing.

According to Adams, Leland’s offers discounts to students.

However, employee Tshara Jones be-lieves “you’re getting what you paid for.” She has tasted everything on the menu and likes it all.

Regardless of price, Campbell students enjoy the new addition on the plaza.

Campbell student Phelicia Blake said, “The fact that you can come and use your Creek Bucks is great”.

Although pricing may be an issue, cus-tomers are satisfied with the product.

“Food’s good, didn’t expect anything different” Steve Pierce said as he had just finished sharing a meal with his wife Traci Pierce, a Campbell associate professor of economics and business administration.

T. Pierce enjoys the variety of food and believes there is “something that every-body could like” on the menu.

When asked why anyone should come and eat at Leland’s, Adams said it is “something different than your average burger and sub”.

What seems to be the favorite is the Loaded Potato with beef or pork: a carved baked potato smothered in barbecue or succulent beef.

I tried it and I have to agree with Jones: you do get what you pay for.

The serving sizes are not miniscule portions I would normally expect from anywhere else.

Leland’s gives you a hardy portion of food that will leave you satisfied but not over loaded.

T. Pierce appreciates the environment of the restaurant with its “industrial light-ing and trendy atmosphere.”

The employees are friendly, you get your money’s worth out of your food, and you feel right at home and as Todd says, it is a “Barbecue Heaven”.

Adams has high hopes for Leland’s.He said, “We’re going to revolutionize

the way we do barbecue”.

Faith based duo entertains crowdBy Austin ThomasStaff Writer

On Wednesday evening, the Christian themed theater duo “The Skit Guys” performed at Turner Auditorium.

The pair, comprised of Tommy Woodard and Eddie James, packed the seats by per-forming a number of comedy and drama sketches, which can be seen on Vine and YouTube.

The duo has performed for several years and has gained considerable notoriety for their work.

Wednesday’s skits ranged from impersonations to com-plicated issues, such as illness and personal beliefs.

“I like that it’s funny,” Woodard said. “Humor breaks down walls for truth to enter, if you can make someone laugh, you can make them listen.”

Numerous students en-joyed the performance.

“I think it’s great for the community because it brings student body and Buies Creek community together, as it should be.” Amy Adams, a Campbell Divinity School student and Resident Chap-lain, said.

“I think it’s great for Camp-bell University undergraduate students to see such great voic-es in the Christian commu-

nity through live action skits,” Trent Matthews, a Campbell Divinity School student said.

As well as humor, Woodard and James try to maintain a spiritual connection in their performances.

“We hope that God goes before us,” Woodard said, “And shares with each person what they need. Laughter is the best medicine. Everyone has a story, that’s not defined by the past, God can redeem.”

Freshman Sam Regner appreciated the performance took on a spiritual meaning.

“My favorite part was the message that came through the skits, but I also liked the hu-mor of the show,” Regner said.

Faithe Beam, Camp-bell University minister and coordinator for the event, also believed the performance went well.

“I have seen their videos online and at different ven-ues, and have been personally touched by the message and humor delivered through their comedy,” Beam said, “and so many others have expressed the same thing, and so it was no question that we wanted to invite them to come to Camp-bell.”

Beam hopes the duo can re-turn to the Creek in the future.

CSU outplays CU footballBy Scott BaytalaStaff Writer

Campbell football fought valiantly against Charleston Southern, but came up short in a 30-10 loss Saturday night at Barker-Lane Stadium.

The Camels also wore a new uniform combination as they donned orange jerseys, grey pants with white and or-ange trim, and black helmets.

Campbell (1-2) played in front of a Barker-Lane Sta-dium record crowd of 6,044, but could not take advantage of long drives as they finished 0-9 on third down conver-sions and 0-2 on fourth down attempts.

“One of the main things I look at is how we are able to move the football down the field against stiff competition,” head coach Mike Minter said. “But again, it comes down to critical moments and can you convert. And that’s where we have to get better, convert-ing long drives into points, because we didn’t do that tonight.”

The Camels were led by senior quarterback Brian Hud-son, who completed 15-of-26 passes for 110 yards and also added 79 rushing yards on 18 attempts. Redshirt-junior Matt Farris led the CU defense with 14 total tackles, tying Camp-

bell's school Division I era (since 2008) record.

“You have to give Charles-ton Southern credit because their defense buckled down when they had to, and they made it pretty tough,” Minter said.

Charleston Southern (3-0) led by a score of 10-3 at half-time, with CU redshirt-fresh-man kicker Jarrett Ozimek nailing a 31-yard field goal to bring the Camels within a

score.Jabri Ridenhour led the

receivers with six receptions for 21 yards and scored the Camels only touchdown on a 9-yard end around run in the fourth quarter.

Ridenhour’s score was set up after redshirt-junior Lucas Smith blocked a Buc-caneers point-after-attempt and Charleston Southern was assessed a 15-yard personal foul penalty.

The Camels then needed only seven plays to drive 54 yards and cut the Charleston Southern lead to 23-10.

“Overall, we got better as a football team tonight,” Minter said. “We are in the process now of understanding how important a third quarter is in a tight ball game that’s going back and forth. So we learned that tonight, we will build upon that, and that won’t hap-pen again as we move forward

into conference play. “The CU defense had

trouble containing dual-threat quarterback Malcolm Dixon, as he passed for 118 yards, ran for 135 yards, and completed two touchdowns, all in the fourth quarter for Charleston Southern.

“It was difficult because we had to be on our P’s and Q’s of containment the whole game,” Farris said. “When you think you have [Dixon] surrounded, but he had the ability to break one away at any time.”

The Camels want to send a special thank you to all of the fans who came out in support of the team.

“The crowd and the stu-dents were amazing and we fed off of that energy the entire night. I want to say thank you to all the fans that come out and support us, and to keep coming to support us through-out the season,” Farris said. “The energy of the fans makes such a big difference that they don’t even know it; we really feed off of it the whole game. So again, thank you.”

On Tuesday night, Camp-bell’s Volleyball team overpow-ered Eastern Carolina’s Lady Pirates, and improved to 6-2.

The tough start for the Camels didn’t last long as they picked up their intensity in game two with a Camp-bell advantage of 25-14. The atmosphere in Gore Arena was electric.

Going into the break, red-shirt sophomore and outside hitter Alexis Hein had led the team in points with a total of 8.5.

“From the break we felt good and we knew we had a good chance to win,” Hein said.

In the third set the Lady Camels came out on top, with a two-point advantage over ECU.

Red-shirt junior and also an

outside hitter, Jessica Groen holds a strong power at the net, and earned numerous points for the Camels.

The Camels only gained strength as they powered through the second set with a 25-19 victory.

Senior blocker Lindsey Coats finished the game with 15 points in the match.

“It felt good being able to be a senior and accomplish something like that in front of the home crowd,” Coats said.

Head Coach Greg Goral, new to the team this season, had positive remarks surround-ing the team’s performance.

“It helps a lot winning tonight,” Goral said. “ECU has some quality players which will prepare us well for the upcom-ing weekend games versus Hampton, West Virginia, and Morehead State. It was nice to

put up three straight quality volleyball games in a row.”

Goral said the team knew after the first set they would have to pick up the intensity, if they wanted to win.

Senior setter Heather Wil-son said, “It was a good game, we picked it up. The first game was a warm up, and we brought more intensity from there.”

Groen said, “At first we didn’t start off well, but we came out and finished.”

Groen finished the game as the Camels’ leading scorer with 16 points.
