Emma Humphreysremembers watching a childin Ecuador open a shoebox ull

socks, Play-Doh and noisemakers; all things that she asa blind girl could appreciate.

[]he spontaneity made itthe best trip Ive ever had,Lee said. It was one o mydreams to go there [New York

City], and I got to do that in aweekend or ree and serve.Tree other students took

the 15-hour drive with Shibuand Ashley: Jerey Sierman,Miceaela Fry and Kevin an.

We went in with servanthearts and helping hands and

came out eeling connected

to the people within thecommunity, an said.

Lee said the group stayedwith Shibus aunt, whose housewas not aected by Sandysoods.

On Friday, the group helpedone o Shibus riends romcollege whose home hadbeen destroyed by the storm,according to Lee. Tey cleanedhis ront yard, which was

cluttered with the remnantso his belongings.

For one o Saturdaysprojects, they handed outwater, cleaning supplies andsnacks in a Staten Islandneighborhood that was badlyaected by the storm.

Aer that, the group tookdown dry wall in the houseo a widowed woman withoutood insurance, who could not

pay to proessionally have thework done.Te amount o devastation

on Staten Island wasunbelievable to Lee.

Anything I say right nowwont do justice to the reality,Lee said.

Aer two days o service, the

group spent Sunday exploringNew York City, visiting siteslike imes Square, GroundZero, Central Park andChinatown.

o continue the service ocus

o the the trip, the students gota tour o the Bowery Mission, areuge or New Yorks homelesssince 1879.

According to the BoweryMissions site, they currently

are providing sae shelter andood to 160+ homeless anddisplaced rom HurricaneSandy.

Lee was surprised by howmuch the victims appreciatedher groups service.

hese people were sothankul, Lee said. heycould not believe we came allthe way rom ennessee.

Te trip le a signifcant

impact on Kevin ans lie aswell as on the lives o the NewYorkers he helped.

Tis trip is something thatwill always be a memorablepart o my lie and somethingthat I was blessed to be a parto, an said.

rom the headquarters to theirnal destination.Te school has covered the

shipping ee with studentstuition.he university made a

commitment 15 years agothat we would pay or theshipping o every box. Its

one o those things that theuniversity totally believes in,Vice President or StudentDevelopment Mike Hayes said.

Hayes explained the process

the boxes go through beorethey are distributed to thechildren.

We collect them or abouttwo weeks Gateway students

bring them over [to the PaulConn Student Union], andwell sort them by gender andage group, Hayes said. Tenext ew days, we have loads

o students and sta sortingthe boxes to make sure thatinappropriate things arent inthere and to make sure theyreall quality.

Tey are then boxed together

and shipped to Lie Care, aregional collection centeror OCC. From Lie Care,boxes shipped to the OCCheadquarters where they are

sorted through again to makesure they are appropriatelypacked.

It is then determined wherethe boxes will be distributed:they are shipped bothnationally and internationally.

Tis year Hayes said multiple

boxes will be given to victimso superstorm Sandy in thenortheastern area o the United

States.Humphreys explained

that more work goes intothe distribution process than

expected.

She worked with a team thatputs on a Gospel presentationbeore distributing the boxes

and conducts a six-week ollowup program that she calledSunday school on steroids.

At the end o the sixweeks, the kids go through a

graduation ceremony wherethey receive a Bible in theirlanguage.

Humphreys le her publichigh school and fnished her

education on her own inorder to intern with OCC andreturn to Ecuador. Her time

working in the distributionstage helped her to appreciatethe organizations eorts morethan she did beore.

For so long, we illedshoeboxes and sent themo, Humphreys said. ...Mybiggest realization about theprogram was ... really [that]the shoebox is a catalyst orgreater things, or sharing

the gospel and setting them upto orm relationships with theLord.

Hayes said that theshoeboxes combine service

and evangelism, both thingsthat the university encourages.He also reported that the

partnership between Lee andOCC has been so successulthat the organization nowencourages other schools andcorporations to ollow Leesmodel o operations.

elecommunications majorNate Powers recently wonthe Best Short Film awardin an amateur category othe G-echnology DrivenCreativity USA 2012 ilmcontest or his short entitledRegret.

Te flm is loosely inspiredby Isaiah 6. Its a very personal

scripture to me, Powers said.[It] has a lot to do with my

testimony, as I went through

a period in my lie o livingin regret o my past, just likeIsaiah was right beore he wascleansed and called to be a

prophet.Powers said he hoped

viewers pull a single thought

rom the flm: orgiving oneselor the past.

Acceptance o your past theway it is will lead to reedomrom regret. I believe that

God works in every situation,even the ones that seemhopeless, Powers said.

Powers said his patience wastested during the competition,

as he entered the competitionin July.

Aer that? Nothing.He received no word on

the results until he was toldin October that his short wonthe competition out o 200

competing lms.Even though there was a

long wait time, once I startedfnding things out, the ballrolled very quickly. I gotinto immediate contact withsome big name people, likedirector Vincent Laoret and

cinematographer Alex Buono,Powers said.

Powers and his flm thenjourneyed to New York Citywhere the flm was showcased

in the Driven CreativityCompetition USA 2012Exhibit, a guest-list only eventrom Nov. 7-11.

Powers also won aG-echnology 4B hard drive.

M a t t h e w F i s h e r ,

assistant proessor otelecommunications, saidhe was very pleased with the

success o Regret, but he wasnot surprised.

Its a gripping short flm,

Fisher said. Te cast does a

great job conveying the storysintensity. Along with this,

visual and editorial rhythmshave a visceral quality thattakes hold o the audience anddoesnt let up.

Fisher also said to expectmore rom Powers and thetelecommunications program:more lm-related courses arebeing oered and a flm societywas recently established bystudent Daniel Howat.

As or Powers, he willcontinue to beneft rom thesuccess o Regret.

My plan rom here is tokeep doing what Im doing,Powers said. Regret willcontinue its distribution inestivals and competitions,and I will continue to makeconnections rom it.

He hopes to one day get hisoot into the lm industry butplans to use flm making in

whatever job comes his way.Visual storytelling is where

my heart and passion is, and Iwill continue to make flms nomatter what my job is, Powerssaid.

Powers is already working

on another short and was eagerto share a ew details about hisnext project.

My next short flm, TeBusiness Man, is a romantic

comedy about a proessional

pickpocket that works ora secret department o thecorporate world, Powers said.

He expects the short to be

nished beore May 2013.Fisher said that Powers

success is an example o the

burgeoning talent amongLees visual storytellers, andhe expects more accolades orLees lmmakers.

Its an exciting time tobe a flm enthusiast at LeeUniversity, Fisher said.

I dont know about you,but whenever I listen toChristmastime is Here by

the pitiul chorus o Peanutschildren, I eel like throwingin the towel or the entireChristmas season.

Its too commercial, mega-

expensive and goes by ar too

quickly. Call me a Grinch orScrooge, but Ive experienced

21 Christmases. Im good.But ... theres something

magical about donninga Christmas sweater aeeling so pure and so true

that suddenly, Im ready tocelebrate Jesus birthdayagain.

When you step into aGoodwill searching orsomething to wear to a party

and walk away with the mostbeautiul disaster o candy

canes, snowmen and glitter,baby Jesus has smiled upon

you.You should know that

Lee only has two kinds oChristmas parties: ugly

sweater parties and tackysweater parties.

Whats the distinction, you

ask?acky sweaters belonged

to your dead great-grandmother: they are ghastly

mixtures o odd-colored yarn

and sequins.Ugly sweaters, on the other

hand, are wearable everyday,

not just to a party or two.

hey are the diamond in therough o apparel, blending

that perect amount o ironyand wearability.

his Christmas, dont bearaid to pursue irony.

Everyones a hipster in ugly

Christmas sweaters. Pop inyour Sujan Stevens vinyl andlet the good times roll. Maybe

i youre araid o pursuinghipsterdom, go or the easier

track and try out She & Hims

Christmas album.So, i youre experiencing

a pre-Christmas slump, slapon a Christmas sweater, andI guarantee youll be roamingdown Parker Street, tossing

candy canes and shoutingHappy Christmas!

Tis statement will probablyget me ostracized: Im tired oOreo balls.Now that the collective gaspshave died down, youre allrealizing that this is a legitimate

concern. I had never heard ocombining cream cheese andOreo crumbs until Lee, andsuddenly thats the only dessertever made. acky sweaterparty? Oreo balls. Shotgunwedding reception? Yep, you

guessed it.Its time to reintroduce all

o us to the wide world oChristmas treats that can bemade at college. Its time thatother prepackaged cookieshave their day in the Christmasparty limelight. I give you:

Buckeye Balls

Combine a stick o meltedbutter, a jar o peanut butter, 2cups o graham cracker crumbs

and a box o powdered sugar.Roll the mixture into bite-sizedballs on a cookie sheet. Melta bag o chocolate chips and

dip the balls halway, thenrerigerate overnight.

Admittedly, these are alsosomething o a Christmasparty staple. However, they

are stunningly delicious andmuch more impressive thana recipe that quite obviouslyrelies on Nabiscos good graces.Go to your eight tacky sweaterparties with my blessing.

1. Go shopping. Ask anywoman who has spent threehours circling a mall carryingpresents or fve people andracing to the next big sale:shopping is exercise. A trekaround the average mall is 1/4

to 2/3 o a mile. Add in thecardio o a good speed walkand the strength training oall those shopping bags, and atrip to the mall might do youas much good as a trip to thegym.

2. Decorate or Christmas.

Carry dozens o boxes odecor up and down stairs,climb ladders to hang lightsand even add in a good housepre-cleaning, and youve

got yoursel quite the cardioexperience.

3. Make healthier choices.You can still enjoy the holidaytreats without quite as many

calories. ry using sweetenersubstitutions like ruvia orSplenda in your baked goods.Or maybe just eat one cookieinstead o ve.

4. Get o the couch. Letsbe honest, we all enjoy a goodmarathon o A ChristmasStory or an evening showingo El. Since youre going tobe watching anyways, why notmake a game out o it? ry

coming up with an exerciseversion o a drinking game togo with your holiday cinematicviewings. Here are some ideasto get you started:

-I someone says, MerryChristmas, do 10 jumpingjacks.

-I you hear a Christmascarol, do crunches until thesong ends.

-I you see someone dressed

like an el, do ve pushups.-I Santa makes anappearance, do 10 sit ups.

-I bells are ringing, hop onone oot or each ring.

-I people are playing inthe snow, jog in place or 10seconds.

Do yoursel a avor and stayhealthy during the holidays.
