BY DANIELLE QUESENBERRY AND STEPHANIE MILLER | STAFF WRITERS

In an effort to meet the growing needs of the community, Macon State is now offering several new programs. The School of Arts and Sciences has opened a new minor in creative writing. The minor touches on both poetry and ction, but students will pick one �‘sequence�’ which includes taking, as Assistant Professor of English Dr. Kelly Whiddon said, �“The introductory class, one �‘sequence�’ of intermediate and advanced classes in either poetry or ction, and one upper level class outside of the sequence genre they choose.�” For the complete minor, four classes are required. The prerequisites for the entry level creative writ-ing 2105 class are English 1101 and 1102. Whid-don and Dr. Kevin Cantwell are the faculty mem-bers involved with the minor, which Cantwell said was tailored to �“draw on the strengths of the fac-ulty involved.�” �“We don�’t require that our students anticipate a future career in writing to take part in these class-es�—though, if they do, we can point them in the right directions,�” Whiddon said. The minor is not speci cally for English students, either. �“Creative writing classes teach students to analyze writing from a different perspective than literature classes do,�” Whiddon said. The skills learned in the classroom and during workshop help in business and management settings. �“You can learn a lot about human character from ction,�” Cantwell said. Both professors encourage students to consider the creative writing, even if they don�’t have prior writing experience. Cantwell said, �“We want stu-dents to be interested in writing, and to want to see if they are interested in creative writing. The minor is an open door to college, and broadening college experience.�” Cantwell said that creative writing teaches stu-dents to �“socialize in the classroom, make friends, and be less intimidated about all of the things that make us anxious about living in the world. It makes

writing fun.�” Looking forward to the future, the faculty con-siders the possibility of screenwriting and play-writing courses. If you�’re interested in the creative writing minor, contact Whiddon (kelly.whiddon@maconstate.edu) or Cantwell (kevin.cantwell@maconstate.edu), or call 478-471-5792. Also, nd announcements and updates on the MSC Creative Writing Facebook page: facebook.com/groups/CRWR.MSC. The School of Arts and Sciences is also offering a new minor in gender studies. This new minor will use courses in history, literature and media studies to educate students about the gender roles present in our culture. Associate Professor of English Dr. Monica Young-Zook said, �“We sometimes don�’t even no-tice when we have certain assumptions or expec-tations of people because of their gender. If you enter the workplace, these same expectations and assumptions may apply. Understanding them may well help you get along better with co-workers, better manage employees and make better deci-sions for your company.�” Young-Zook said that people in the �“legal, medi-cal, and education elds �—anyone in business who is planning to manage people or market products to them, will bene t from this minor as well. We have courses in marriage, family and history; gender and psychology; gender, media and culture, and many other offerings in development as we speak.�” These courses present students with a well-rounded understanding of the many ways in which gender affects life whether in the family setting or in the workplace. Although some areas may bene t more from the minor in gender studies, it would prove bene cial for anyone who is, as Young-Zook said, �“intellectu-ally curious�” in the way that gender roles shape life. One such �“intellectually curious�” individual is sophomore interdisciplinary studies major Alexis Meeks, who will be participating in the new pro-gram with the goal of one day teaching gender studies. She said she hopes to gain �“a greater un-derstanding of how people view themselves and

how through literature they can express what gen-der they may or may not be and how each gender is viewed through society and literature.�” Any students interested in learning about gen-der roles and their effects should contact Young-Zook (monica.youngzook@maconstate.edu) at 478-471-5735 or Associate Professor of English Dr. Mary Wearn (mary.wearn@maconstate.edu) at 478-471-5792 for more information. The School of Nursing and Health Sciences has added a new concentration to the curriculum of the Bachelor of Science in Health Services Adminis-tration. According to Chair of Health Services Adminis-tration William Hervey, the new sports and tness management concentration provides a �“good entry level into the world of wellness and prevention.�” �“Our goal here at Macon State is education, of course, but we also look toward education leading to jobs and this area of wellness is where the jobs are,�” said Hervey. �“The fact that we have an aging population and also with the high cost of medical care, it�’s starting to dawn on people that it�’s cheap-er to prevent something from happening than to go in and x it later.�” Rather than teaching students how to x a health problem, this concentration teaches students how to prevent a problem. It includes such courses as injury prevention and rehab, nutrition, kinesiology and exercise physiology, among others listed in the 2011-2012 Macon State catalog. Hervey said the concentration prepares students for jobs in the tness and wellness elds as well as preparing them for areas in graduate school such as exercise science, kinesiology, physical therapy, sports management and athletic training. The new concentration in sports and tness man-agement �“meets the needs of the students, meets the needs of the community and positions us for growth as a school,�” said Hervey. For more information on the new sports and t-ness management concentration contact William Hervey (bill.hervey@maconstate.edu) or Chris-topher Tsavatewa (chris.tsavatewa@maconstate.edu).

CORRECTIONAn article entitled �“Baseball Club�’s strategic divide�” that was published on Aug. 17, 2011 erroneously stated: �“Through the use of a recruitment website called www.thevent.com Mitchell found select high school seniors and invited them to Macon State to try out for the team.�” The recruitment website is actually called www.scout.com, which has a section called the Georgia Varsity Sports Vent (www.GAVSV.com) that allows people to post and discussions to take place about recruits and for coaches to get information to those looking for opportunities after high school and this is the area that was used to post information about the club.

BY JESSICA SPENCER | NEWS EDITOR Thursday, Aug. 25 AmeriCorps sponsored an event open to the public called Faces of Homelessness from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Ma-con�’s 567 Cafe, which is an intimate space that is usually used for bandsto showcase their talent locally. As part of a 13-year effort, Faces of the Homelessness is run through The National Coalition for the Homeless. This is the third year that it has been in Macon. The purpose of the Thursday eve-ning gathering was to educate people about homelessness specifi-cally in Macon. �“I went to Southwest High School during integration�…graduated from Gordon College in �‘77 then went to Mercer University,�”said Randy Beddingfield as he stood on the stage of the 567, fidgeting with his hands and his eyes wandering the room, while he told the story of how he became homeless. Beddingfield traveled throughout the world and played music,

then joined some of his Mercer Alumni to run one of the largest advertisement companies in Middle Georgia. His road to home-lessness began with snorting cocaine on Riverside Drive. The program is done by the Faces of Homeless Speakers Bureau, which is made-up of people living in Macon who are homeless or have gone through the National Coalition for the Homeless�’ pro-grams. Macon project runners this year are Catlin Donally and Jeremy Weatherly. They are AmeriCorps Vista volunteers working on a zero budget, helping the speakers present their stories to educate the public. Everything from grammar and speech presentation to providing the venue for them to share their stories to a public audience is done by the project coordinators. More information about the project can be found on The National Coalition for the Homeless�’ website nationalhomeless.org/ or con-tact Ms. Donally and Mr. Weatherly at 2020 Ingleside Drive in The Rainbow Center; the phone number is (478) 641-6733 ext. 457.

There will also be many hands-on activities for kids and people interested in crafting Native American art. The two-day event will be a time for people of all ages to come celebrate Macon�’s Native American legacy while learning and having lots of fun. Regular admission to the festival is $5 and $2 with a military

ID Children ages 5 and under are free while children ages 6-12 are $2. People 13 and over pay regular ad-mission. Macon State students can volun-teer.

BY ROBERT REESE | STAFF WRITER Macon State College recently announced that campus computers will no longer save les through a power cycle, and therefore you are highly encouraged to use a USB ash drive, also known as a thumb drive or a jump drive. According the email sent to the student body by Dean of Students Lynn McCraney on the Aug. 15, �“. . .we have set all student classroom computers to purge les and settings upon re-boot . . . . including power [loss] . . . . it is vital that you save your work to a thumb-drive. . . .�” Sound advice, and these little gadgets are well-suited for saving your work, but there is a problem. These USB drives do not back them-selves up and they frequently get lost or stolen, or they die or break. What do you do then? Many of you may have been saving a copy using MSC Vista or as an email attachment. Often, this is functional; unfortunately, this so-lution usually doesn�’t work as well as you�’d like, if at all. (Note: email isn�’t designed for le transfer or for storage). The best answer is an online service that offers backup, sync, and sharing. The backup simply takes les from your computer or even your cellphone and uploads them to an online server. Synchronization allows two or more devices to keep exact copies of les and changes to those les. Sharing permits one or more les to be shared with one or more people. Many free services have come online recently to offer those functions on the �‘cloud�’, an over-used jargon term for internet-based services. Two in particular will keep your les safe yet instantly handy wherever you are: Dropbox and SugarSync. Both services run on Windows, Android, Mac/iOS, and Linux (SugarSync via emulation). Most important to you are that both services can be used with any internet-connected brows-er, and both offer collaboration folders with other users �– a very handy feature if you are part of a team.

For those of you unfamiliar with �‘cloud�’-based services, SugarSync launched a website called CloudU at sugarsync.com/cloudu/ to explain it. For students, SugarSync�’s CloudU sums up the cloud�’s usefulness saying, �“With secure online backups, le syncing across computers, shared folders for group projects, and le ver-sioning for recovery�—the Cloud is invaluable for students.�” Dropbox touts similar utilities for students on its website at dropbox.com/ saying, �“. . .you can start working on a computer at school . . . and nish from your home computer. Never email yourself a le again! [use it on] your phone . . . .�” Dropbox gives you 2GB to start. It is the most widely available service and has a large number of integrated softwares and applications. It allows synchronized sharing of folders with one or more Dropbox users and you can share any size le you are able store within your al-lotted space. To share a le outside of Dropbox, the le needs to be in the folder. This means that anyone on the internet can download that le, which is both a drawback and a feature. Another drawback is that your Dropbox fold-er acts exactly the same you would expect any folder on your computer to act. When you de-lete a le it is deleted from both your server and from your computer. It is better to move the le to another place on your computer if you want to keep the le but move it out of Dropbox. SugarSync starts you out with 5GB and uses a management application to handle le and ac-count tasks. Unlike Dropbox and its singular main folder, SugarSync allows you to choose which folders on your computer you want to backup, sync, and share. If you use a smart-phone SugarSync automatically backs up your photos and videos to your online space. While SugarSync allows you to share almost any le privately with non-SugarSync users, the free version of the service limits a shared le�’s size to 25MB. If you want to share a larger le than 25MB

then Dropbox�’s Public folder is the best answer. Naturally, if you pay SugarSync for additional space then this limitation doesn�’t exist. Speaking of paying, the purpose of these free services is to get you hooked into depending on them, and eventually needing more space �– space they�’ll graciously let you buy or earn. SugarSync is the most expensive at three times the price of Dropbox. For an additional 100GB, SugarSync charges $150 and has no education discount. In contrast, with Dropbox�’s education dis-count that same 100GB will cost $50, or a third of the other service. Conversely, SugarSync�’s advanced feature set is worth the cost for some. The best news is that you don�’t have to pay for either one of them for basic service and you get at least 8GB combined to start. Plus, both allow you to earn extra free space through referrals which give both you and the person you refer extra bonus space. How much bonus space you gain depends on the service and the email address under which you sign up. Dropbox gives you 2GB for free, and an extra 250MB using the link below, BUT if you register using your maconstate.edu email address then Dropbox will recognize you as a student or faculty and double your bonus size to 500MB. SugarSync gives you 5GB plus a bonus of 500MB, but doesn�’t offer discounts or extra bonuses for education. Note that both services allow you gain several referral bonuses, each increasing your free space. Referral links bene ting both you and Ma-con State College�’s Student Media: Drop-box (case SeNsiTivE): http://db.tt/2VEy0dH and SugarSync: sugarsync.com/referral?rf=cf8fmnrt2po25. Using a USB drive is a great way to save and carry your les with you, but for extra security, convenience, and ease of mind try one or both of these services, or any other similar service. Given all that can go wrong with a USB drive, you�’ll be glad you did. It might even save your grade.

When talking about fashion, you often think of rail thin girls walking in something that either looks as if it came out of a sci- movie, or can only look good when styled by someone else. More so, it seems as if it is only for the elite of the world. When you take a step back and think about it, fashion is fueled and run by those of us that are ordinary people. If you doubt this, how do you think it is one of the only in-dustries to survive the economic recession and still manage to gross over $500 billion domestically and $15 trillion world-wide. It�’s one of the few industries that have been labeled �“re-cession�” proof.�” If you think that has nothing to do with you look at it this way: the fashion industry is one of the largest employers of the world. On a more personal note there is your individual fashion sense. Many people believe that having personal style is wearing the hottest new trends or what they see worn on T.V. The trend is then carried from college and then some even into adulthood. In actuality, personal style is a blend of your own unique style in uences mixed with what is expected from the world, though one may rebel against that expectation. In other words, it is tak-ing and manipulating clothing and fashion that embodies who you are, who you want to become, or who you want the world to think you are. It�’s about empowering yourself with your in-nate perception of self. A perfect example of this would be nurse uniforms. Nurse scrubs traditionally were these bland off putting colors making nurses seem like just extensions of their unapologetically ster-ile environment. Now everywhere you go you see scrubs repre-senting the personal styles of nurses with puppy dogs, Minnie Mouse, and penguins all over them. One other sector of the pro-fessional world that has taken to this form of self-expression, but typically isn�’t as animated, is the business sector. In the past, all business men wore black or blue suites with starched white shirts and a matching tie. Businessmen of today�’s times can buy pinstripe or solid suits, two-piece or three-piece, single or double-breasted suits in a variety of colors. French or Mandarin collars are increasingly popular among the men that like to give a not-so-subtle nod to a different era or culture in the workplace. To compliment the new colorful suits, men�’s dress shirts now come in plethora of colors, fabrics, and patterns as well. Say a guy wants to show off his artistic air in his of ce; he could nd a nicely tailored brown tweed trouser, paired with a tailored wine colored dress shirt and camel loafers. He�’d add a tie or bowtie, whichever he prefers, to make it pop. With that he

was able to take his personal style and translate it into profes-sional wear. Let�’s take this to a place that we all know oh so well. The time between high school and the real world is this very odd time continuum known as college, where we have the ability to truly nd out who we are before it spits us out into The Real World. College allows you the chance to experiment and break free of the rules of high school and your parent�’s house (in some cases), and to grow into one�’s self. If you have always been urban because that was what has been expected of you and you want to try and be punk then why not? Been preppy, but have secretly always wanted to be darker, say Goth? Just go for it! You are discovering who you

are! You now have the capability to burst from the constraints of your comfort zone. Develop the foundation of your ever evolving personal style, and as you as a person grow older and change you will have this time to look back on asking yourself �“What was I thinking?�” Experimentation is a natural extension of that growth. What it all boils down to is the rules that applied to you in high school no longer bind you in college. If you like something, wear it own it, and make it your own; just make sure you know your body. But that lovelies, that is another lesson altogether.

Dear Financial Aid: We need moneyBY SARAH FRYE-MITCHELL | EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Every semester yields new experiences; new classes, new profes-sors, new activities to get involved in on campus, none of which are the least bit frustrating. However, sometimes a new experience can rack you to the very bone with worry and make a normally sane college student turn into a sadistic she-devil ready to pull out her own hair. Enter the Finan-cial Aid department. I�’ve heard horror stories before about getting financial aid, but never had to experience it myself until this year (my savings ran desert-dry). It took three times of sitting in the Financial Aid office and hav-ing different staff members tell me three completely different things before my classes were paid for and I could by my books. Now, I understand completely the number of students that have to pass through that office every semester, but the staff there should also appreciate that they hold the reins in getting students money to attend class. If things go wrong in Financial Aid, it very often leads to a student dropping out of a semester, pushing their graduation back, and, in the case of student workers, losing their job. As an example, this newspaper very nearly did not have an Editor-in-Chief.

As frustrated as I am with the system, I�’m not just going to com-plain and not offer up any suggestions. It seems there is a lack of organization in the Financial Aid office. This can be easily fixed: if there are not enough people to get filing done for the entire student population, hire more staff to do such work. There are plenty of students who would be interested in a simple on-campus job, perhaps those who live in Residents Life? If the office hires student workers to do jobs like filing, this would give the staff more time to get larger jobs done, freeing up time and making the whole process flow more smoothly. The Financial Aid office could also move the deadlines for paper-work, such as the FAFSA application, up to an earlier date, that way the staff or student workers could have more time to process infor-mation and file records. Maybe the office itself can stay open longer during the day, if only during those periods where they have droves of applications coming through. My point is this: students rely heavily on financial aid, and when the system doesn�’t work like it is suppose to, then students get screwed. We want to be students here, other wise we would not have filled out the application, but it is frustrating to think that maybe a part of the school doesn�’t care if one is unable to buy books for classes until the second week of the semester.

Blue Storm soccer�’s new changes in staff and competition aim to pro-vide its members with more oppor-tunities to compete and improve as players. Blue Storm soccer�’s competition has solidified into a league called the southeast soccer alliance where Blue Storm will be in the central di-vision. They will face off against 7 other teams in their division: UGA, Geor-gia Tech, Kennesaw State, Emory, FSU, GCSU and Valdosta State. In order to prepare the soccer club for their upcoming competitive sea-son, the club has brought on a new athletic trainer to share his expertise with the team and its new players. The trainer, Hollis Springer, is a veteran soccer player and coach. In addition to his experience as a player, Springer is certified in sports management world wide�’s course called coaching at the next level and he is USSFC certified. Springer worked with the soccer club for the first time this past Friday. The team described their first practice with their new trainer as, �“a grueling and productive workout session to condition the team.�” They referred to the practice as army style. Springer said that he wants to improve the player�’s technical abilities on the field. A new concept that Springer brought to the practice was dynamic stretching. This is a way of stretching while in mo-tion and the result is an increase in a person�’s range of motion. Referring to Springer, player Emmanuel Cocker said, �“He�’s really good and knows what he is doing.�” With the addition of new players and a new athletic trainer, the soccer team plans to be a force to be reckoned with in their new league of competition this fall.
