The Image Issue

When striving for perfection destroys your health

She remembers when it started. She remembers the overwhelming guilt as she tried to eat her dinner. Every time I would put something in my mouth, I would almost come to

tears, Alexis Ziarkowski said. I always thought that food was my enemy. Even at 14, she was entering the battlefield of body image issues. Ziarkowski is a dancer, and

in that, a perfectionist. She trained her body in the studio for 20 hours a week, but she remembers what would happen when she saw her reflection. Out of my heart, I heard the words, Its still not enough, she recalls. And thats when I knew I had a problem. A self-esteem that is heavily

influenced by perceptions of body weight and shape is one of the characteristics of an eating disorder, particularly anorexia nervosa, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Habits become a disorder when food and weight control become obsessions.

Eating and body image issues are extremely widespread in the college population. Christen Logue, the director of the Counseling Center at Lee, said that eating disorders may be more prevalent among a college population for several reasons related to the developmental stage

of life in which most college students find themselves. For example, college is a tight-knit community where there are lots of comparisons to peers. Theres a lot of pressure pressure to perform, pressure to succeed. People are trying to figure out who they are,

Dirksens revisit China for centennial celebration

Photo courtesty of Carolyn Dirksen The map is courtesy of Wikipedia Commons. It shows the Henan province of China By Caleb Bell News Editor Murl and C arloyn Dirksen hit the road again this past September, visiting their old stomping grounds half a world away. The couple spent time in China (Sept. 19-26) to attend Henan Universitys centennial celebration and a meeting of the International Association of University Professors. The two simultaneous events hosted representatives from 50 universities around the world, including the United States, Bangladesh, Pakistan and others, Carolyn Dirksen, the vice president of Academic Affairs, said. Carolyn Dirksen is an honorary professor at Henan University. The Dirksens relationship with Henan University goes back to 1984, when the two spent a year teaching English at the university through the group English Language Institute China. The city of Kaifeng had opened only two years prior to the Dirksens arrival. The couple was the second group of foreign experts to ever teach at Henan, and through that relationship established an exchange program with Henan University. It was really one of the first exchange relationships between a university in the U.S., particularly a Christian university, and a university in China, Carolyn Dirksen said. During their time there, the Dirksens also visited Sias International University in Zhengzhou, the capital of the Henan province. According to Carolyn, Lee has had a relationship with Sias since its founding in 1998. Today, Lee has a two plus two, exchange program with the university. Right now two students from Sias are studying at Lee, and will graduate with a degree from Lee and Sias.

Crime statistics reported in Clery Act

By Jessilyn Justice Editor-in-Chief Zeroes were reported for nearly half of latest Clery Act, the document that depicts how safe the Lee University campus is. Due to our ongoing policies and the diligent work of Campus Safety, Lee University is one of the safest campuses I know of, Dean of Students Alan McClung said. As long as students are savvy and continue to use common sense, I believe Lee will continue to be a safe and secure environment. Stay cool, students. The Clery Act is named for a student who was raped and murdered in her residence hall at Lehigh University in the 80s and is considered is the landmark federal law that requires colleges and universities across the United States to disclose information about crime on their campuses, according to the introduction of the report. Any school that accepts federal funds must report these campus safety numbers to the government. The Clery Act is more than crime statistics, though. The report provides information on the department of campus safety, campus-wide emergency plans for various situations, a list of the crisis management team, missing person information and contact information for campus, local and state authorities. This is something that students, faculty, staff, potential students and their families need to see, Director of Campus Safety Ashley Mew said. This document gives them a good, quick, broad sense of what that looks like. The 2011 statistics show an increase in four categories: drug law violations, illegal weapons possessions, motor vehicle theft and forcible sex offenses. Liquor law violations, however, are down from 21 to 16. If the numbers seem too low, Mew said it is because of what the Clery Act specifically requires reported. Burglary, for example, requires forcible entry, and robber y requires a use of violence when stealing p o s s e s s i on s . Theft, howe ver, is not reported in the act. According to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Lee had 31 thefts for the 2011 year. The TBI report includes the breakdown of general categories, such as larceny and theft, sexual offenses, fraud and drug and narcotic violations. These numbers we present in the Clery Act, it can be confusing to be looking at the different categories, Mew said. The whole purpose of this is to give everyone thats part of this community, and, more specifically, potential students, an idea of whats taking place within the boundaries of our campus. Other universities in the state of TennesseeVanderbilt University, University of Tennessee at Knoxville, Belmont Universityhad higher numbers reported in nearly all categories for the TBI. Michelle Steffenhagen of the Office of Residential Life and Housing said that the office encourages students to look out for their personal safety by performing tasks such as locking car and room doors, refraining from posting personal information on social media sites and allowing Campus Safety to escort them home late at night. If we ever encounter a safety concern, we work quickly with the necessary departments such as Campus Safety and Physical Plant to resolve the issue as soon as possible, Steffenhagen said. I think, for the most part, our students feel safe on campus, and it takes effort from everyone involved to make sure it stays that way. Mew said that by reporting crime statistics to TBI and through the Clery Act, students are made more aware of the safety of the campus.

Campus Kitchens conference convenes at Lee

University (TX) and Elon University (N.C.) were just a few of the schools represented at Lee over the weekend. Overall, representatives from 26 different organizations participated in the conference, 18 of them from other schools. Approximately 130 people total registered for the conference. Speakers at the conference included Robert Egger, the founder and president of the Washington, D.C. central kitchen and the Campus Kitchens Project; Mike Curtin, the CEO of the organization and Lees own Mike Hayes, the vice president of Student Development. If students engage in welldesigned service-learning, their learning should be enhanced as well, Hayes said in an interview with the Campus Kitchens Project. Van Gorp played a key support role for the conference, and he was in charge of several of the logistic aspects of the conference. He said he enjoyed seeing the service that takes place across the nation through Campus Kitchens. Van Gorp said he enjoyed seeing what service looked like outside of the Christian world, as many of the universities and organizations involved with the Campus Kitchens Project are not Christian in nature. The theme of service all over the nation seemed to carry throughout the conference. I learned about the value of service and civic engagement not just at Wake Forest, but in Winston-Salem and America as a whole, Bradley Shugroll, a senior from the Wake Forest Campus Kitchen, said. Throughout the weekend, the conference also provided networking opportunities for those i nvolve d. I loved [the conference], said Veronica Rutherford, who works with a community kitchen in Washington, D.C. As a new kitchen, we can use this networking to our advantage. Lee was also a good place for this because its so service-oriented. Lee was not the only organization from the Cleveland community to be involved with the conference. Lee opened up the conference to high schools in the Cleveland area and had community partners come in to participate. We tried to make it holistic; how can we as a community grow together? I think that was a cool thing where Lee students were able to interact with people who were older and younger than them, Van Gorp said.

Hyde on Oct. 11-15, audience members will observe the personality of Hyde and perhaps examine conflicting sides of their own character. In this student-directed adaption of Jeffrey Hatchers 2009 play of the same name, performers portray two roles, each representing Hyde in addition to their individual characters. Hyde is depicted by whichever actor is carrying a cane. The playwright has ramped up the intensity of the action [of the original novella] with a unique casting device that aids the storys exploration of the darkness within the human soul, Associate Professor of Theatre Christine Williams said. Anthony Harrison, who plays Richard Enfield and Hyde No. 3, thinks

students at Lee can uniquely benefit from the plays message of finding balance between opposing voices. Especially at Lee, with our campus being Christbased, youll see a lot of people who will internalize teachings and scripture ... and lose the balance, Harrison said. [W]ere not called to know a lot of things; we are called to witness and to evangelize and to reach out to others, Harrison said. For student director L inds ay Hans on, t he balance she faced was not between good and evil but between being the plays director and a student. Directing is incredibly difficult, especially directing and casting your peers, Hanson said. Hanson is the first student

to direct a major play in five years and only the second in the theatre programs history. The theatre program approached her about the project last fall. [S]he has to go to class with us and sit in the same lectures, said Harrison on Hansons relationship with the other theatre students. But when you walk into rehearsal, while you know that she is still your friend, thats not the air she has about her. ... She is your director. Hanson has also studied at the New York Film Academy and is a senior this year. This Jekyll and Hyde drama comes to Lee intentionally during the Halloween season, and the play features a 13-and-older age suggestion for complexity and violent material.

Though there is a darker tone to this play than some past Lee productions, the darkness is essential to the plot and structure of this beautifully written tale, Hanson said. We need nights darkness in order to see the stars. Under Hansons tutelage and with 30 or more hours a week spent rehearsing and memorizing lines, student actors undertook bringing this production to life with less than two months to prepare. The actors had to balance their dual roles as both successful students and dedicated performers. Every once in a while you will go to rehearsal, and youll be like, I dont want to be here; I want to be somewhere else, Harrison said. But then you get onstage, and

you say your lines, ... and you get lost in that moment. Like characters in the play take on multiple roles, Harrison loves theatre for the various lives he can live onstage. It gives you this infinite number of lives this infinite number of emotions and experiences that you wont necessarily find in your own life, said Harrison. You enrich your life with all these different feelings you get. Students, faculty and staff can experience this thriller from Oct. 11-15, each night at 7:30 p.m. in the Edna Minor Conn Theatre. Tickets are currently available at the Dixon Center box office.

The Campus Kitchen Projects annual conference came to Lee the weekend of Oct. 5-7, bringing groups around the United States together to talk about social service. The conference, titled Service: A Fresh Perspective, opened on Friday morning with a panel on the development of service learning programs and continued through the weekend with workshops and group sessions, finishing up with an awards ceremony. I think [this conference] shows the legitimacy of community service and service learning, Stephen Van Gorp of Lees Leonard Center said. A lot of times I think we think of it as this finite thing that Lee offers but it honestly shows this big picture of community service being done all over our nation. The University of Massachusetts, Baylor

culture and how they interact. It helps give a new perspective, in a way it validates that its okay to have that conversation, Steffenhagen said. It validates that its okay to wrestle with that tension as opposed to always having a definitive answer, always having a defense for our subcultural its okay to be stuck in the middle. The movie portrays characters drinking, partying, using drugs and cursing. Taylor said that in order to tell Millers story truthfully the questionable content had to be included. Steffenhagen also expressed that the content of the film can allow students to question how they are going to live once they are outside of the Christian environment that Lee provides. Even though Lee is not a historically liberal school like Reed University, Taylor said that the movie could still relate to Lee students. No matter where you end up going, when you leave home and go to college, in many ways, its a different world, Taylor said. I felt like [the movie] would resonate well with college students, and hopefully Christian college students. Hopefully there are a lot of things that would remind them of their own life and make them maybe look at some things differently. Steffenhagen explained that Alternative Chapel does things differently to reach out to the many different types of students at Lee. Whether a student is new to Christianity or grew up in the faith, Alternative Chapel offers a safe place to question beliefs and ideas. The u lt imate go a l, Steffenhagen said, is for students to gain ownership of their faith. Alternative Chapel does not aim to tear down traditions or beliefs that students have grown up with, but rather help students test and research their beliefs so that they can claim ownership of them. They can walk away from Lee and walk into their next phase of life and say This is what I believe, not This is what I believe because my youth pastor told me. Instead, its because theyve tried it out; theyve tested it; theyve wrestled with it, and theyve researched scripture on it, Steffenhagen said. Sophomore Emily Underwood, who has been a long time fan of Blue Like Jazz, said that hosting Steve Taylor and similar events are important for the campus. She said that Blue Like Jazz is one of her favorite books because it talked about finding a genuine relationship with God instead

of relying only on tradition. Promoting that relationship with God is just so important because esp ecially on college campuses youll find so much empty tradition, Underwood said. And thats scary to think that were supposed to spread the gospel, but we cant spread the gospel if we dont even know how we feel about it.

Taylor visited campus the first week in October to show the movie, speak in Alternative Chapel and coach aspiring filmmakers in two lecture sessions.

First, she said, there are some students who are in need of support as they talk through their eating and body image concerns. There is another set of students who may need immediate medical or inpatient intervention due to physical complications or functional deficits caused by their eating disorder. Still, there is an additional set of students in between, who may not require residential treatment but who need morethan-weekly talk therapy. For this group, the LUCC has partnered with other campus departments to form Eating Concerns Awareness and Treatment Team (ECATT), a multi-disciplinary team of professionals dedicated to providing assessment, consultation and treatment to students with significant eating and body image issues. The program enables the Counseling Center to partner with the Health Clinic, Residential Life and Housing and a faculty member whos a nutritional expert. Logue said that they often consult with Focus Health Care of Chattanooga for additional resources or trainings as needed. Lee is not the only Christian organization to struggle with eating disorders. Sometimes, the Christcentered environment could have a negative impact. Melissa Steffan, a writer for Christianity Today, struggled with an eating disorder for several years. In a blog for her.meneutics, she wrote, It is a weighty issue to balance ones worth against physical appearance or academic achievements. For Christian women, God calls us to something greater than a life of balancing scales; God calls us to place the full weight of our struggles on the promises of Scripture. In God, we are more than any number either our weight or our grade-

point averages can define. Logue concurred by saying that Christian campuses have an extra layer of pressure to measure up and look like a student has it all together. Theres a double-whammy effect, she said. You feel bad. Then you feel bad for feeling bad because people tell you youre too blessed to be depressed. Christianity is, by far, not the only source promoting this idea of perfectionism. Logue said that corporate America needs women to believe that they are not good enough the way they are. She said that one does need to take care of her or his body and that eating right and exercise are important for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. However, Logue said that one should not try to form these habits based on weight or looks. Focus on health for the sake of health, she said. Watching your weight or body change will not be immediate, but the release of endorphins after you work out is. Ziarkowski now lives a healthy lifestyle.

how the world is going to perceive them, Logue said. Not everyone who has these triggers will develop an eating disorder, but some people will. Logue said that those who do develop eating disorders are rarely struggling with just an eating disorder. Depression, family, trauma and issues with self-worth often accompany a diagnosis. Im concerned that many people think those with eating disorders just want to look thin or wear small sizes, Logue said. But its so, so, so much more complicated than that.

Ocoee River Maze reaches out to students

Christ in Culture:
Convocation Hide and Seek
By Tiffany Skinner Contributing Writer

LIFE

By Caroline Eaton Life Editor

The River Maze opened its 8th annual fall corn maze on Sept. 22. The nearby maze, located on a farm in Ocoee, Tenn., is celebrating the centennial anniversary of the Girl Scouts and the Ocoee No. 1 dam. It will be open to the public on weekends until Nov.4, with weekday reservations available for groups. Along with the corn maze, the farm offers a full day of fall season activities, which include a childsized soybean maze, a hay ride to a pumpkin patch, a corn toss, live animals, picnics and multiple other activities that serve to celebrate the fall season. Joe Fetzer, River Mazes owner, said that Lee students have always enjoyed the maze in the past, and he hopes they will visit the maze this season. Lee is special to us more than anything I want to experience meeting some of the Lee students out here because they have an impact internationally over time, Fetzer said.

He also shared that Lee groups that have gone to the maze in the past have always had a good time. According to Fetzer, going through the corn maze together picking pumpkins and posing at the farms multiple photo opportunities has provided students with a memorable experience. The cost to get into the maze is $8 for children four to 12 years old and $10 for participants over the age of 13; both prices are taxed. A hayride to the pumpkin patch is an additional $2, plus the price of the pumpkin, which varies by size. Simmons Hall resident assistant Marissa Hooven is currently planning a trip to the corn maze with her residents. I have been to corn mazes in the past, and I really enjoy them. My biggest hope is that it will be a chance to build friendships and community, Hooven said. There are a few ways to travel through the maze one of them being with a passport that contains multiple-choice questions. Answering the

questions right will guide travelers through the correct turns of the maze. Another way to get through the maze is by playing Mystery at the River Maze, a scavenger hunt inspired by the game Clue. Im thinking about inviting one of our brother halls from Medlin or one of the other guy dorms to join us to make it a little competition between the guys and girls, Hooven said. Groups can also reserve a space for a bonfire, which students have done in the past. Fetzer recalled when a choir from Lee had a bonfire at the farm and sang worship songs to him as a thanks for his services. Jesus Christ means an awful lot to me. They said, Were [going to] sing it mustve been 10 minutes [until] I had my hands raised. It was such a blessing Ill never forget, and Ive told a lot of people about it. The soybean maze, which is just three feet tall, is themed around the Legend of Spookley, the Square Pumpkin a childrens book by author Joe Troiano.

The story is about Spookley being bullied by the other round pumpkins, until his square shape saves the pumpkin patch from being destroyed in a storm. The River Maze has partnered with Spookley, who is the spokes-pumpkin for Octobers National Bullying Prevention Month, bringing awareness to bullying prevention. According to Fetzer, the River Maze is not just a fall festivity but also a ministry. Were interested in seeing a ministry develop here, so I think you can see why were interested in a relationship with Lee University, Fetzer said. The fall theme continues with a display of farm animals, where visitors will have the opportunity to feed goats and milk ma ke-b elie ve cows. O t he r att r a c t i ons include a no left turn maze, a new pavilion, a walkway by the river for couples, concessions and more g ame s .

Oh Convocation. We laugh. We cry. We awkwardly chuckle when someone (inevitably) makes a joke about their (married) sex-life. And still, through it all, we find Jesus. Amidst the slick suits, guitar solos and stage lights, we somehow find Jesus, that is if we look. L o ok for Jesus? In convocation? What a strange concept. Now dont get me wrong. Ill be the first to admit that I can often be a cynic about church. This, of course, translates into me often being a cynic about Convocation. There are just so many problems... The speaker is too excited. The speaker is not excited enough. The speaker is old. The speaker is young. The speaker is Paul Conn. Its hard to find the right sp eaker. And t he music! Everybody knows its too loud; its too monotonous, and its too commercial. Amid all of these problems, it is clearly impossible to find Jesus. Really? In Jeremiah 29:13-14,

God speaks to Israel and tells them that: ...you will seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the LORD... Hebrews 11:6 says that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. James 4:8 says that God will draw near to us if we will draw near to him. Yada, yada, yada. In other words, God always reveals himself to those that truly seek him. Enter Convocation. Perhaps you find it difficult to sit through Pentecostal preachers for a few nights in a row. Perhaps you find the music contrived. Perhaps you just need to get some homework done. Whatever it is, let me be the first (but more likely the eighth) to encourage you to look for Jesus in it anyway. You might be surprised to find him standing on the stage or speaking in a prayer or maybe just sitting next to you in a squeaky seat. But whether or not you find him because of, or in spite of, Convocation, the Lord truly is there waiting to be found. If you dont find him, p erhaps you werent even looking.

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives of Cleveland

By Kara Lambert Food Columnist If youre a freshman, in Student Leadership Council or have heeded the call of Regroup Greek club fundraisers, you probably know about Farmhouse. This is about as far as my Cleveland dining experiences went as a freshman fast food and chain restaurants aside. There are so many other off-the-beaten-path places to eat in Cleveland that youre missing out if you routinely order pizza on Friday night. If youre smart, youll learn to eat as the locals do. To wit, here are five of the best food joints little ol Cleveland has to offer. Jenkins Deli Jenkins may be my No. 1 choice for dinner in Cleveland. It has that neighborhood-joint feel, thanks to vintage signs, low lighting and wooden booths discreetly adorned with teenage graffiti Jessica luvs Chase. Jenkins serves good, reasonably priced American fare, like fried pickles, club sandwiches and onion rings. My favorite is the French Dip sandwich with fries and a side of honey mustard. Delicious. 88 Mouse Creek Road NW (across the street from Tako Yaki) | 423-478-1648 Gabriels Pizza Gabriels is just your basic mom-and-pop Italian placein other words, absolutely delicious. Theyre best known for pizza, which is customizable and has a great hand-tossed crust. The garlic bread sticks are addicting, by the way. Theres indoor and outdoor seating, but Gabriels also delivers. Since they regularly run pizza specials, this is a great orderin alternative to Papa Johns. 2625 Keith Street NW (by Blockbuster) | 423-728-2222 Jordans Bar-B-Q Jordans is what I wouldve been raised on if I had grown up here. This is authentic Cleveland, folks away from the chain-restaurant bustle of Keith Street and its environs. Also, they have really freakin good barbecue, and I can say this with confidence because Im from North Carolina (which regularly contests Texas for the right to barbecue supremacy). Dont try to get fancy just order the pulled pork barbecue and be happy. 901 Stuart Road NE | 423-478-2171 Hibachi Express Maybe youve already heard of Hibachi Express. Unfortunately, I remained unaware until sophomore year, when my lovely fellow columnist Kelsy brought me to the light. I love hibachi almost as much as I hate being harassed by those entertainment chefs at fancy hibachi restaurants, so this place is like heaven. Ive never spent more than $6.50 on a meal there. Its got all the deliciousness of hibachi food (including that mysteriously addicting pink sauce), and you get to eat in peace. Get the shrimp and chicken combo it comes with vegetables too! 3625 Keit h St re et NW | 423-339-2396

Which Sesame Street Character do you Like?

By Zach Orrison Conservative Columnist Mitt Romney seems to like Big Bird, but I am not sure what character the president prefers. However, the reason why Gov. Romney brought up Big Bird in the debate is a much more serious reason than it may sound, as hard as it is to move away from the humor of the statement during the first presidential debate. Presidential debates are always very exciting, especially when you are able to see the lighter side of both candidates. Theyre equally as exciting when they hit hard on the issues that matter to all Americans. The Big Bird issue Romney was talking about was growing the economy. How do you grow the economy? The governor went t hroug h t hre e things you could do: Dear readers, One of our goals on the Lee Clarion is to write stories that matter to you. To us, these are stories that might be a bit more difficult to cover than the who, what, when, where, why and how that comes in your average news story. These are the stories that feature you and your struggles and victories, like our story in this issue about body image and eating disorders. As a journalist, Ive been trained to leave my opinion out of stories, but while talking to Alexis Ziarkowski, that was virtually impossible. 1. Raise Taxes 2. Decrease Spending 3. Encourage economic growth Those three things seem quite broad, and many conservatives have red flags fly up when they hear the first one. However, when going through a recovery such as the one we are experiencing, one of the arguments might be, By how much should we raise taxes? or What kind of tax should we raise? Another one could be, Should we just close deductions and loopholes? What Romney wanted to do the night of the debate was to unpack the encourage economic growth prong of the argument. How in the world c an you do t h at ? Well, there are a couple of things Romney It took such courage for her to speak to me and open up about the battles of her past. During our interview, she made one thing very clear: she would not be here without Christ. Had I been writing for a publication outside the university, I probably would have attempted to maintain a poker face and take studious notes. Im not at another publication. Im here at the Lee Clarion. While Im not nave enough to believe that every person here is a Christian, I was able to respond to Alexis as a Christian sister. outlined during the debate. He also had to repeat himself quite a bit because the president didnt seem to understand. The main thing I would like to outline is the lowering of corporate tax rates. These are known as taxes on a place of business. Currently, corporate tax rates are at 35 percent. Romney wants to decrease that rate to 25 percent. This will encourage businesses to hire more employees, and in turn, experience job growth, and yes, profit. America needs job growth now, and the middle class can benefit much from these types of policies. Another issue you might hear is energy independence. Not too long ago, hunderds of millions of federal, tax-payer money went to Solyndra, a solar energy At the end of our interview, I reached out my hands and prayed for her. I thanked God for her spirit, for her willingness to share her story with you guys, for the fact that we could meet and pray together even though wed never crossed paths before. Im telling you this here because much of her story is left out in the official article that runs on pages one and six. That does not mean that Christ is not woven t h rou g h her s t or y. Im thankful to attend a University where our conversation isnt just accepted; its encouraged. plant that failed miserably. Romney had pledged to approve the Keystone pipeline, creating a plethora of American jobs in the process. He will also promote private-sector development of needed energy sources and technologies. Romney will also cut out some of the red tape caused by the procedures one has to go through for energy development and moving closer to energy independence. After the debate when Mitt Romney had encouraged all of these things, there was a significant change in the polls. A national average of polls had Romney down to Obama by only 1.4 percent. The lastest Gallup poll has them tied at 47 percent each, while Rasmussen Tracking has Romney up by 2 percent. Only on Nov. 6 will we see the final poll.

thing. Thats why I like going to outlet malls and used clothing stores. Some of my favorite fashion enthusiasms are fun ties, tie bars, suspenders and rolled up sleeves. Fashion advice to other students: Unless you absolutely cannot live without it, never buy a piece of clothing at full price. Its never worth it to pay too much for something and stuff ALWAYS goes on sale. Find clothes that are YOU, not someone else. Always be open to new fashion styles. Lastly, you never know when youll need to make a good first impression. You are constantly meeting new people, especially when youre in school. Whatever your style or fashion is, a good first impression could mean the difference of a grade with a professor, a job with a future employer (possibly from a professor) or a spark of chemistry with someone when you go on a cafeteria date

The Easy Answers

By Eric Miller Liberal Columnist I could talk about the debatesand I willbut instead of focusing on who won or whether the debates themselves were a success, I want to discuss one section of one topic in the debate. The candidates discussed the economy for a great length of time, and as part of that discussion, there was a good deal of talk about the budget deficit. The problem with how the candidates talked about the budget is that they failed to present the problem as difficult as it is. Gov. Mitt Romney claims to be able to balance the budget without raising taxes, and that is ridiculous. We are going to need reduced spending, raise taxes ... or a lot of both. On the other side, Obama was too complacent with some modest suggestions. Every bit helps, sure, but we need to make some difficult decisions about the future. The American people need to start thinking hard about what they want to sacrifice, and sugar coating this discussion wont help with anything. To give you an idea of how hard balancing the budget is, if we cut our defense budget, we still wouldnt be balanced. I dont mean cut some off the budget; I mean if we cut the entire defense budget. Since we cant do that, we are going to need to give some things up. It does not matter how expertly we close loopholes and raise taxes and cut pointless spending; we are all going to have to sacrifice things we like. There is a discussion the people need to have with their leaders, and it infuriates me to no end that we keep getting sidelined by pointless and simplified presentations. If you think the budget problem is just some dumb mistake, or if you really want to think about which candidate to support, try an experiment. There are plenty of sites, such as gpoaccess.gov or whitehouse.gov, where you can find how much revenue the federal government brings in and how much it pays out. Go look up some information, along with some tax information, and see what you would cut and where you would raise taxes. Hopefully, your candidates views line up with your own, even though theyve been unwilling to tell you.

Letter to the Editor: An Honest Response to Education

By Beau Simmons Last month, Eric Miller wrote an article about Mitt Romneys plans to reform the education system. He stated that he disapproved of Romneys plan, which consisted of removing many of the barriers involved in transferring a child out of a failing school. Millers belief was that if Romneys plan was enacted, then it would cause mediocre and poor schools to crumble under the pressure of lost support, and thus the quality of education at those schools would become even worse, digging the education system into an even bigger hole. Personally, however, I believe him to be wrong. While mediocre and failing schools would certainly crumble under this pressure, and in some cases even crash, this very phenomena would actually be a stronger driving force for better education than anything else. Allow me to explain: the current state of the public school systems creates funding for school districts based on the number of residents in each district. Essentially, it means that schools get paid based on how many students they have, regardless of how quality they are. If the districts were opened, however, it would mean that schools would have to compete for their students (and by consequence, funding). Schools that stagnate simply because they cover a large district would be forced to improve, if only to continue their existence. Failing schools would require even more drastic reform, since parents are virtually guaranteed to pull their children out of a failing school. The only concession that I must make about this system is that it places schools in poor neighborhoods at an incredible disadvantage, since their funding is already low due to no fault of their own. However, I believe that with proper consideration, a system could be created that alleviates this issue. Perhaps excess funding for successful schools could be funneled into less fortunate districts. Government is traditionally sloppy in such matters, however, so I would be reluctant to support that system specifically. However, even with this concession, I believe that a competitive schooling system like Mitt Romney supports would be good for the country, and lets be honest, its one of his very few good ideas.

During this tumultuous time in our nation, Americans are facing a very difficult dilemma: How does one truly define hipster? By dress and overall look? Or is it by musical taste or attitude? Can anyone innocently buy oversized glasses without accusations of fraud anymore? (I promise mine are prescription.) At Lee, this fashion label is very attainable; we could put a bow tie on the creepy prayer statue by the School of Religion, and it would suddenly be hipster. I think hipster culture is the best of both worlds, the perfect marriage of old and new trends. Nominated by his peer leader, Carli Stover, Mitchells style is the perfect blend of retro fashions and current classics. Would Mitchell be considered a hipster? Lets figure it out. Who/what inspires your style? I love the style of the 40s and 50s. I think that people of that time dressed with class and a special style. But, I think that the main thing that inspires my style is to look good. When I look good, I feel more confident about myself. Where do you like to shop? I have some favorite brands that I think are really nice and fit me well. However, I try not to be the guy who shops at only one or two stores and broadcasts the brands logo on everything he wears. I try to diversify where I shop, and I love stores like J. Crew, Platos Closet, Tommy Hilfiger, Gap, T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and, of course, Goodwill. Where did you get this outfit? Shoes: Sperry. Pants: Fossil. Shirt: Tommy Hilfiger. Suspenders: JC Penny. Tie: Goodwill. In three words, describe your style: Classy, Fun, Dapper Favorite current/upcoming trends: I try not to follow current trends or the new

25 MLB scouts come to pro day

By Josh Eferighe Contributing Writer Major League Baseball scouts set foot on campus Sept. 24 to evaluate Lee and other surrounding universitys crop of 2013 draft talent. The annual pro day event, hosted by Lee, brought three additional universities Tennessee Wesleyan, Bryan College and Cleveland State to showcase their players on one day, giving scouts an opportunity to be efficient with their tips in evaluating the players in the Cleveland area. Pro day consists of basic professional-level workouts where scouts can evaluate how the talent transcends to the next level. Activities such as fielding, speed drills, hitters batting practice and a close look at the teams uLee mens basketball will finally hit the hardwood later this month. The men will take on nearby Tennessee Wesleyan College on Oct. 27 at 2 p.m. in Paul Dana Walker Arena. It should be a warmup game to prepare for rival Tennessee Temple on Nov. 1. inner squad scrimmages are all part of the event. Head baseball coach Mark Brew said he enjoys the event because it helps get an early evaluation at the teams peak and functions as a recruiting tool. Its a huge selling point for us because we can...tell kids that part of the experience at Lee is that were going to have a pro day, Brew said. Every kid wants that opportunity as a part of the process. Players Myles Smith and Clint Terry are no strangers to MLB scouts and the process of being drafted. The New York Mets took Smith in the 16th round of the 2012 draft, and the San Francisco Giants took Terry in the 36th round. Both Smith and Terry declined to sign with their respective teams after the draft in hopes being selected in a higher round in the future. By not signing, however, they are trying to perfect their skills. Before pro day you just try and stretch a lot and make sure youre in shape, Smith said. If you have anything bothering you, make sure you get those treated and taken care of because you want to go into pro day 100 percent. Terry said he doesnt let the pressure of the scouts get to him because he has already been through the process. I try to look like pro day like its another day, Terry said. Smith said that the pro day workouts are beneficial for the teams spring preparation. Players are prepared for pitch counts that are coming in and aim to preform accordingly to give a good

gauge of the teams peak. Our team looked pretty good on pro day, Smith said. We have to keep a high level of intensity and treat every day like its a game day and not take any days off. The pro day gave scouts the chance to see what Smith and Terry have been working on since they were selected. Brew said that the team will now focus on the remainder of the season and the attitudes of the players. According to Terry, though, the goal of the team is to go out of the NAIA on top. Were all shooting for the same thing, Terry said. We all want that ring before we go to D2, so were putting in all our effort.

Lady Flames soccer opens conference play

Lee Clarion photo by Travis Sturgeon By Josh Eferighe Contributing Writer On Saturday, Sept. 22, the Lee womens soccer team won their SSAC conference opener against the University of Mobile (Ala.) with a final score of 2-0. Mobile entered the game ranked No. 6 by the most recent NAIA Coaches Top 25 poll. Mobile has had a history of giving the team more than a close game. Leah Wilson, a Lady Flames senior goalie, knows the nature of the competition between the teams. [The two teams have] a lot of history, and it is indeed a rivalry. They are also in our conference, and we have not lost a conference game in nine years. We want to keep that streak, Wilson said. The game, however, was not as physical as expected. Mobile came into the match off of a 2-1 overtime victory against Brenau University (Ga.) on Friday night a factor that could have played into Saturdays match. They were not their usual selves, said Ali Eisnaugle, a junior midfielder. Their last game wore them out. Even so, the Lady Flames did not have a high scoring game. Junior Leah Fortune scored the only goal of the first half for either team. Fortune took an assist from senior Amy Cochran and scored in the 14th minute. Sophomore Laura Thacker provided the only other goal for the Flames in the 72nd minute, assisted by junior Ode Fulutudilu. We couldnt finish, Thacker said. The runs up top were not going too well, and our play from the back wasnt that good. We didnt go to the ball on corners either. The Lady Flames will play their next game against another top ranking opponent, William Carey, a Louisiana school ranked No. 10. That game will be played on Oct. 20 against Southern Wesleyan (S.C.) at 5 p.m.

Director of Sports Information Lee junior Hunter Vest enjoys playing golf in the Scenic City. He won two match-play events on Sunday and captured the Chattanooga TPC title. Earlier this year the former Walker Valley High School standout claimed the Brainerd Invitational title. Vest, who will join the Flames in Rome, Ga. for the annual Chick-fil-A Tournament, defeated veteran golfer Richard Spangler in Sundays championship match, 5 and 4. Earlier in the day he won over Brendon Wilson on the 19th hole of the match-play format. Im really proud of Hunter, Lee coach John Maupin said. He had to beat some great players in match play and really stepped up his game. The championship match was decided when Vest drained an 18-foot birdie putt on the 14th hole at the Council Fire Golf Club. Vest will have plenty of fall golf under his belt when he hits the links at the Coosa Country Club today. He has played almost 90 holes of golf since Thursday. But he wasted no time in turning his attention back toward college golf. The tournament in Rome would be a good one for us to win, he noted after calling his TPC victory special. The Flames are seeking their second straight team win. Two weeks ago, they walked away with the top trophy in the Coastal Georgia tourney.
