Student petitions for locally grown food

More than 2,400 people attended

the 10th annual Marthapalooza,
Berrys late-night Mountain Day
carnival event, on Oct. 4, exceeding
attendance from past years.
About 2,200 to 2,300 people
attended last year, Cecily Crow,
director of student activities, said.
Senior Ashley Swanson, the
Marthapalooza event chair, said the
increased attendance may have been
the result of the home football game,
the frst home game on a Mountain
Day.
Last year, the football players
couldnt attend because they were
gone [for an away game], Swanson
said. This year we had the football
players, if they wanted to come, and
they were ready to celebrate because
of their big win.
Crow said many students also
arrived at Marthapalooza later than
usual because of the football game.
Normally we have a huge line
ready to come in at 10 oclock, and
we had a big line, but it wasnt as
big as normal because of the football
game, Crow said. We had people
coming in for two hours, whereas
normally almost everybody would
get there within the frst hour.
Mountain Day also celebrated
its 100th anniversary this year, and
about 8,000 parents, alumni, visitors
and students attended the festivities.
[It was] a big weekend, Crow
said.
Swanson said the event went
smoothly with no major incidents,
although one of the rides, the Ring
of Fire, was not working.
Unfortunately, this year one of
the rides broke so weve been
negotiating with the ride company to
give us a discount, Crow said.
Although the event committee
is still waiting on a few invoices
and bills, Crow estimated that they
spent around or just under $55,000.
The rides alone are almost $40,000
and other costs are for booths,
generators, tents and other expenses.
The event makes about $12,000 to
$14,000 in revenue from T-shirt and
ticket sales.
The event is funded through
the student activity fee, which all
students pay, and Marthapalooza is
the most expensive event held on
campus every year.

According to the Worldwatch
Institute, food travels 1,500 miles on
average from farm to consumer. It
is statistics like this that have urged
senior Andrew Windham to take a
stand.
On Oct. 7, Windham began
a petition on Change.org for A
Reformation of Berry Colleges
Food System.
The petition calls for a more
localized approach to the food served
on Berrys campus.
The best way to ensure that
we are consuming nutrient dense,
organically and ethically grown
food is to produce it ourselves,
Windham, an environmental science
major who plans on becoming an
organic farmer, wrote in the petition.
By the end of summer semester
2015, we would like to see Berry
producing a constant 10 percent of
our own food, Windham continues.
Following this accomplishment, we
would like to see that number raised
to at least 25 percent in the following
year.
Windham wants to raise
awareness for the Berry community
about the positive effects of eating
locally-sourced food.
There are so many benefts to
eating good food, Windham said. I
want this [petition] to be a positive
action for the Berry community
to show administration how many
students are interested in the source
of their food.

Down by six points without possession of the ball and only
two minutes and 19 seconds remaining in the game, all signs
pointed towards yet another defeat for the Berry football team
on Saturday.
Almost 5,000 students, alumni and fans made the trip to
Barron Stadium to watch the Vikings take on the Washington
University in St. Louis Bears a team that made the Southern
Athletic Association (SAA) playoffs last year.
The Vikings defense, which had put in a strong
performance the Saturday before against an impressive
Rhodes team, would not let the Bears off the hook easily.
Freshman Jackson Putnam intercepted a pass from
Washingtons quarterback to put the football back into Berry
quarterback, sophomore Dale Jacksons, hands.
With less than two minutes remaining in the game and
the Vikings down by six points, Jackson was able to pull off
something offensive coordinator Rich Duncan described as
magical.
Jackson found sophomore wide receiver Trey Ciresi wide-
open for a 63-yard touchdown pass that would seemingly
give Berry the lead, and likely the frst varsity win in school
history. Ciresi said when he caught the pass it was like the
whole world stopped.

Because Marthapalooza is such a large event, campus safety maintains
a presence at the carnival to maintain order and help with any possible
emergencies.
We have campus safety on call and theyre always around to monitor
and make sure people are behaving, Swanson said. This year, we had
them actively block off the road, though. That helped because our entrance
went up into the roundabout near Clara.
A committee of students working as volunteers had been planning the
event since the beginning of the spring 2014 semester. All aspects of the
carnival, including rides, publicity, booths, additional volunteers and food
were coordinated by students, with Crow serving as a faculty advisor.
[The Marthapalooza committee] is one of the few things left on
campus thats not paid. I think its important that students know that their
peers are taking the time out of their schedules, Crow said. This group
didnt get to experience the football game, and they chose to volunteer
their time so that students could enjoy this event. I think that speaks a lot
for the group, that they live, sleep, eat, breathe Marthapalooza.
Junior Tyler Kaelin, the logistics committee chair for the event, was
responsible for reserving equipment such as tents and generators, and
coordinating the layout and schedule for the carnival. He was also on
the committee for the 2013 Marthapalooza and said he has enjoyed the
experience.
Being a SOAR leader for the summer and telling all these freshmen
that Mountain Day weekend is the best and Marthapalooza is so much fun
I get to be able to be involved in this, Kaelin said.
Seeing people enjoy Marthapalooza, he said, is the most rewarding part
of being on the committee.
I really enjoy watching people come into the event, seeing everyone
line up and knowing theyve been waiting just as long as I have for this
event to happen, he said. Seeing all these people come out to this event
that weve been planning is really encouraging. It makes it all worth it.
Applications for the 2015 Marthapalooza committee will be available
in the spring.

Berry was listed in The Princeton Reviews
Guide to 332 Green Colleges, which is a yearly
review of the nations most sustainable and
environmentally friendly college campuses.
Sustainability is something that the whole
Berry community is interested in, Windham
said. I believe that Berry could be on the cutting
edge of this movement and could set the example
for other schools.
Windham traveled with the student enterprise
department to Warren Wilson College in North
Carolina over the summer. Warren Wilson grows
90 percent of their own food on campus, but with
a couple hundred acres of land at their disposal.
We have 26,000 acres and all the existing
infrastructure for making our own food,
Windham said. Really, I just want this to be an
eye-opener for the Berry community as a whole
as to how many people could beneft from a
change in the way we produce our food.
One of the major ways that the college can
continue to increase its sustainability efforts is
serving more locally-sourced food on campus.
Seasons Harvest, a student enterprise at Berry,
is committed to providing healthy, local produce
and reducing our collective carbon footprint.
However, many students, faculty and staff
would like to see more local produce served by
on-campus food services.
I would love to have local produce, freshman
Mary Catherine Iversen said. It is much better for
the environment and for everyone involved.
Windham said he believes that the numerous
pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers and other
chemicals found in processed foods are the
leading cause of allergens, gastrointestinal
problems, gluten intolerance and other health
issues.
When people eat processed mashed potatoes
with processed chicken nuggets theres no
nutrient density to that food, Windham said. I
believe food shouldnt be the cause of problems,
but should be treated as more of a medicine.
There are students at Berry that believe the
food system could use some improvement.
Were not starving to death, freshman
Jordan Tipton said. But theres a lot of room for
improvement.
Windham believes that an overall change to
Berrys food services towards a more sustainable,
locally-sourced approach would be a great public
relations investment for the college.
I think it would be an all-around good
investment not just for the health of the students,
but for the image that Berry conveys as well,
Windham said.
The petition can be found on Change.org.

Earlier this semester, the updated Berry website was
launched and has received a great deal of positive feedback,
said director of e-communcations and head of the site redesign
Cameron Jordan.
People love the appearance, Jordan said. They feel like
it looks fresh One of the things we heard from students
before was they felt like the website looked out of date.
The primary goal of the update, however, was to cater to
the growing number of mobile viewers, which, according to
the websites Google Analytics report for the year thus far,
makes up 28 to 30 percent of total users.
After exploring many possibilities, the team decided to
follow the example of other colleges and adopt a responsively
designed website format.
The website adjusts itself automatically for various screen
widths, Jordan explained. So if you look at it on a desktop,
you may have content in a two-or-three-column layout, [but]
if you look at it on a mobile device, it takes those and moves
them into a single column.
The team sought out opinions from students, faculty,
alumni and parents when shaping their plans for the new
website.
A lot of planning went into the website, Jordan said.
We didnt want to spend the time and the money developing
a website that people werent happy with.
They worked initially with a third-party company that
handled a bulk of the development and design.
Once they were fnished, they handed all the code back
off to us, Jordan said. Were not married to that company
by any means. So now that we have the code, we can continue
to do the updates from in-house.
Student workers like sophomore Drew Sparks began
helping move content over to the new site at the beginning
of last semester.
Sparks, a web developer assistant for the Berry
Information Technology Students program (B.I.T.S.), noticed
that some current students were having diffculties reorienting
themselves to the new website.
Everyone was really used to the old one, Sparks said.
Its like going from an early version of Windows, like
Windows 98, to Windows 7. Its going to be better, but youre
going to have people really upset at you for making them
update.
If anyone is having trouble with the website or fnds pages
that could be improved or corrected, Sparks said that B.I.T.S.
welcomes feedback.
Whenever somebody submits something to the website
feedback form, we are on top of it, Sparks said.
Future plans for the website include an interactive campus
map to be launched with the opening of the Welcome Center
this January.
Cameron also noted a continued focus on making the
website more personal and engaging.
Were really trying to fgure out how to integrate more
stories into the website, he said. And not just on the home
page but within the individual departments.
Students are noticing these efforts already.
Junior Nikki Lokhandwala likes how the website highlights
not only how Berry looks but also on the student activity.
When people that are from other schools or high schoolers
come to the website, I think it attracts them a lot more because
theyre like oh that looks like so much fun or hey, that looks
interesting, she said.
The new format also makes future revisions easier. The
workers are glad to have reached this point and can now
refect on how to improve the site further.
The nice thing about the web is that its not static, Jordan
said. Its always changing, so were always trying to make
things better.

It seems that there is a problem in our
society with owning up to the bad things
that may have happened to us. When we
become victims to things like rape, hate
crimes and abuse, we are hesitant to speak
out in fear of being over dramatic or just
being seen as a helpless victim. Victims
of these varying degrees of abuse did not
choose to be put in this position, but they
do have the power to do something once
they are. People should not be afraid to
ask themselves if what happened to them
falls into one of these categories and to
tell someone when it happens.
When asked to cite an example of
a hate crime, people may talk about
extremely violent cases, like the infamous
murder of Matthew Shepard in Laramie,
Wyo. As defned by the FBI, a hate crime
is a criminal offense against a person
or property motivated in whole or in
part by an offenders bias against a race,
religion, disability, ethnic origin or sexual
orientation.
A hate crime must be something that
is already a crime with an added sense
of bias. However, even non-criminal
offenses, for our purposes, can be
considered a hate crime in a college
environment, and the Viking Code does
not allow these prejudices. So, examples
of hate crimes at Berry may be as
simple as calling people names based on
their race, sexual orientation or religion.
People leave notes, send anonymous
hate, and even corner others and use
these words or tell them that they are living
a lifestyle of sin. Although this is not
physically harmful, it is mentally and
emotionally degrading, can cause victims
to feel worthless and possibly wanting
to harm themselves. Depression, anxiety
and other mental disorders can result
from such discriminatory acts.
Sexual assault or rape are also
sometimes hard to defne, but any
unwanted sexual advance can fall under
these terms. It does not matter who the
person is, whether they are a stranger,
boyfriend, girlfriend or acquaintance.
There are no excuses for sexual assault.
Ive heard people brush things off
because the offender was drunk or high or
even extremely angry, and none of these
excuse the act.
Unfortunately, sexual assault can be
hard to report or build a case for depending
on how much physical evidence the victim
may have and how soon they report it.
However, it is extremely important to try
and report it, because the fewer people
do, the more acceptable these crimes
become. Sexual assault cannot be taken
lightly. Like hate crimes, this can be
extremely harmful to people emotionally
and even physically. Victims can be left
with the same worthless feelings as well
as mental health problems such as post-
traumatic stress disorder and anxiety. In
addition, victims of extreme cases can be
left with external and internal bruising,
wounds or more.
Physical or emotional abuse is
classifed as any violent act. Like
sexual assault, abuse is inexcusable. It
has lasting effects. The obvious of these
can be physical, but it also immediately
removes any sense of trust the victim had
in the offender. There can also be mental
disorders for someone who has suffered
abuse. Abusive relationships are never
healthy ones, and the victim of abuse
never deserves what happens to them.
What people need to understand is that
all of these abusive acts (abuse, sexual
assault, and hate crimes or discriminatory
abuse) still happen everywhere, including
the Berry bubble. However, there were
no reports of sexual assault or hate
crimes made to the Berry College Police
Department in the year 2013. I know a few
specifc examples of these types of crimes
occurring, and I am sure many other
students do too. Reporting these abusive
acts does more than bring possible justice
to the offender. It also raises awareness
that these things are still happening all of
the time to all kinds of different people.
Involving the police sends a message
that none of these things are acceptable
behaviors. Hopefully, reporting these
crimes will eventually decrease their
frequency.
If something like this happens to you
or a friend, I urge you to frst ask yourself
if it may fall into any of these categories.
Next, I ask that you do tell someone,
even if it is just a person you trust. The
counseling center on campus is a great
resource, and they can also point you in
the right direction if you want to seek out
specifc organizations.
If you are the friend in the situation,
understand that it can be very diffcult
to admit and eventually report these
things and the best thing you can do is
be supportive and not forceful. We need
to see more reports of these crimes and
inexcusable acts at Berry and everywhere
around the world.

Ebola and how worried we should be
With the deadliest outbreak of
Ebola ever reported in Africa and the
frst cases being reported in the U.S.,
many ask what Ebola is and how
alarmed we should be about it.
First, what is the Ebola disease?
An article from The Independent
on Oct. 7 reported that Ebola was
frst discovered in 1976 in a series
of countries including Sudan and
the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Named after the Ebola River, the
disease attacks the internal organs
of those infected. Symptoms can
include a fever, intense weakness,
muscle pain, headaches and a sore
throat.
While the disease is believed to
have originated in fruit bats and other
African animals, a fact sheet from
the World Health Organization last
updated in September explains that
Ebola is spread between humans by
direct contact. This includes contact
with blood, waste, organs and other
bodily fuids of an Ebola victim or
items that have been in contact with
these. The disease has an incubation
period of anywhere between two to
21 days.
Ebola, according to the Centers
for Disease Controls fact sheet, can
be treated by balancing a patients
fuids, maintaining their oxygen
status and monitoring their blood
pressure. Despite this, there is no
cure for Ebola.
The frst few cases in America
were recently reported. The frst
person diagnosed with the disease in
the U.S. was Thomas Eric Duncan.
Duncan died Wednesday according to
an Oct. 8 CNN article. He was treated
at the Texas Health Presbyterian
Hospital in Dallas. He contracted the
disease in mid-September and was in
critical condition. His remains will be
cremated.
While the situation in the U.S.
may just be starting, the situation
in Africa is getting worse daily.
According to a BBC article published
on Oct. 2, by the end of Sept. 3, 439
Ebola deaths had been reported
in just African four countries. The
total number of those infected
fuctuates between around 7,000 and
20,000 people. It has been declared
an international public health
emergency by the United Nations.
While the Ebola outbreak has
rightfully caused concern among
many Americans, there is a very low
risk of getting the disease unless you
have come in contact with someone
suffering from Ebolas bodily fuids.
We live in a country with good
medical facilities, unlike many places
in Africa, even further lowering the
risk of Ebola in the U.S. While fear
of Ebola is understandable, unless
you have been close to an Ebola
victim, the panic appears highly
unwarranted.
While there is a low chance of
contracting the disease in the U.S.,
many Africans are suffering and need
help. Children have been left without
parents. On another continent people
are suffering who will soon need the
worlds help and support. Instead
of worrying about a disease that we
are unlikely to contract, we could be
looking into the situation in Africa,
learning more and expecting what
support they will need to rebuild
in the future after their country has
faced such a tragedy. While we are
lucky enough to live in a country
where we dont have to live in fear
of Ebola, many living just an ocean
away from us are not so fortunate.

In Jefferson County, Colo., high
school students are currently fghting
for their history curriculum.
The countys school board
recently announced its decision to
set up a committee to look at the
districts curriculum for Advanced
Placement U.S. history. The
curriculum, according to many of
the boards members, is a negative
refection on the U.S. because of
its coverage of civil disobedience,
violence and protests. According to
the plan released by the board, the
districts curriculum should promote
citizenship, patriotism, essentials and
benefts of the free enterprise system,
respect for authority and respect for
individual rights.
The boards announcement
spurred mass protest in the county,
with more than 120 teachers
choosing to remain home, forcing
four high schools to close.
The board voted three to two
to revise its committee to include
students, educators and community
members, who will be allowed
to contribute to the discussions.
However, this does not guarantee
that the board will change its mind.
The students of Jefferson County
deserve better, and so do their
teachers.
By encouraging censorship of
the history curriculum, the board is
depriving students of the opportunity
to learn about important issues in
our nations past. Topics such as the
civil rights movement and confict
with Native Americans, both of
which the board wants to remove
from the curriculum, are sometimes
controversial and diffcult to discuss.
Uncomfortable discussions are often
a necessary component of education,
and students cannot be expected to
truly learn about our history if they
are only exposed to the more peaceful
or positive parts of it. Discrimination
and prejudice are part of our past
and present, and it is disrespectful to
those who have fought for reform if
their efforts are ignored by history
curriculums.
Censorship of the curriculum is
also insulting to students. Students
should not be told that they are not
mature or intelligent enough to know
about some of the more controversial
parts of history. The school board
in Jefferson County is aiming to
promote patriotic values, but students
should know that the U.S. has been
guilty of acts of discrimination and
violence both at home and around the
world.
The proposed changes to the
curriculum are also degrading for
teachers, who work tirelessly to
ensure that their students learn and
challenge themselves as much as
possible. Forcing teachers to present
their students with a censored version
of history puts them in a diffcult
decision by possibly compelling them
to choose between keeping their jobs
and doing their duty as educators.
The students and teachers of
Jefferson County have spoken up
about what they want from their
history courses, and they have
the right to be able to discuss the
protesters who came before them.

With fall weather rapidly descending on
Berry, many girls are breaking out their cool
weather attire, which includes oversized
sweaters, scarves, boots and leggings. While
this outft may be appropriate at Berry, at many
high schools in New York, Utah, Florida and
Oklahoma, this attire would get a girl sent home
for a dress code violation.
Many high schools have been in the news
recently for their ban on leggings and yoga
pants on the grounds that the clothing is too
distracting for male students. According to an
article published by the Guardian on Sept. 17,
200 high school girls have been given detention
in the last few weeks at Tottenville High School
in Staten Island, N.Y for breaking their schools
dress code.
Now, I have nothing against dress codes
in theory. They allow a school to appear
professional and put together. The dress code is
not the problem. The administration is.
Dress codes are slowly becoming an excuse
for sexism and slut shaming. According to an
article published in Time Magazine on March
25, teachers discipline girls in their classrooms
by demanding they cover up their bodies,
allowing room for mockery from male students.
Slut-shaming ends up embarrassing girls, who
becomes hyper-aware of their bodies, looking at
themselves with shame rather than pride.
But this is all in high school. How does this
relate to college life where dress codes do not
exist?
While the dress code is left behind in high
school, the implication is not. Dress codes have
become a part of rape culture. High schools are
teaching girls that they are the distractions for
men, therefore implying that the men must be
protected because of their lack of control. When
schools do this, they are teaching students their
place in rape culture--girls are at fault, while
men are out of control and must act on their
natural instincts.
Slut-shaming happens in colleges as well.
Both males and females call articles of clothing
slutty and the girls who wear them sluts.
When we do this, we are further objectifying
this girl and stripping away her personality to
leave only her body behind. According to the
Huffngton Post from Oct. 2, young men are
going to school way too comfortable expressing
themselves in exploitative, sexist ways that
denigrate their female, [while] young women
are taught very early to have low expectations
and to compete for male attention.
According to the previously mentioned Time
magazine article, We tell women to cover
themselves from the male gaze, but we neglect
to tell the boys to look at something else.
Tulane University campus minister Morgan
Guyton states men have been socialized to
view sex as entitled consumers. Womens bodies
are products made for our consumption.
When these dress codes are created for and
directed at females who are punished because
an outft is distracting, we are telling these
young girls that boys cannot control themselves
and that it is the girls responsibility to protect
herself from rape. At about 15 years old, they
are taught that women are somehow at fault for
crimes such as sexual abuse and rape.
Some clothes are acceptable at school while
others are not. However, schools can make
these rules without objectifying. Remove the
distraction and remove the sexual implications.
Bring dress codes back to the way they used to
be, showing respect and pride for the school you
attend. Integrate equality into the dress code.
In college, respect women, the bodies they
have and the clothes they choose. Stop shaming
women who may just want to feel beautiful.
Rape culture cannot end in one article, but
everyone can help end the misconceptions. Rape
culture can fade into a culture where women are
made to feel beautiful inside and out. But for
now, dress to impress yourself because every
woman is beautiful.

According to the Georgia Coalition Against
Domestic Violence (GCADV), domestic violence
is a pattern of abusive behavior or coercive
control in any relationship that is used by one
person to gain or maintain power and control
over another.
The National Domestic Violence Hotline
says, domestic violence [does not] look
the same in every relationship because every
relationship is different. But one thing most
abusive relationships have in common is that
the abusive partner does many different kinds of
things to have more power and control over their
partners.
There are several types of abuse women face
daily. According to the GCADV, these include
emotional abuse (a control of the partners
everyday life and humiliating and manipulating
the partner); psychological abuse (monitoring
partner through technology, using religion to
defend abusive behavior or switching from
violent to kind behavior to regain trust of their
partner); economic abuse (controlling the money,
forcing partner to give over every paycheck
or depriving partner of money to pay for basic
expenses); sexual abuse (causing partner hurt
during sex, forcing partner to have sex or
purposefully infecting partner with HIV/AIDS);
and physical abuse (pinching, poking, slapping,
biting, pushing, punching, strangling, burning or
cutting).
The GCADV states that domestic violence
includes any behaviors that intimidate,
manipulate, humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize,
coerce, threaten, blame, hurt or injure someone.
The Hospitality House for women is a
domestic violence shelter in Rome. It was
founded in 1978 and was one of the frst domestic
violence shelters in Georgia.
We house women and their children who are
victims of domestic violence and are trying to
escape those relationships. We can house them
for a period of 90 days. During those 90 days
our advocates help them become self suffcient
and try to get them to a place where they can
pay everything else on their own, the outreach
advocate at the Hospitality House, Berry alumna
Lauren Jones (11) said.
According to the National Coalition Against
Domestic Violence, 85 percent of domestic
violence victims are women, leaving the
remaining 15 percent of victims to be men
or partners in non-traditional relationships.
Although men are victims of domestic violence,
most abused men never report their abuse.
Its embarrassing for a man to admit that
he is a victim in a relationship thats abusive
because that goes against the stereotype of what
masculinity is in this society, Jones said. They
need to realize that there is nothing to be afraid of
and that it happens to a lot of people. One in four
women, and one in seven men will be victimized
in this lifetime. Theyre not the only one, and
they can reach out for help.
For those who know people who are in a
domestic relationship, helping may be more
diffcult than it seems.
As a friend or family member to a victim
of domestic violence, one of the most powerful
and helpful things that you can do to help the
person being abused is to be supportive of them
and give them information on how to get help,
the GCADV says. One thing that abusers do to
gain and maintain power and control is to isolate
victims. When you stay connected to the survivor
and share your concern for her safety, you keep
her from being as isolated.
Shelters like the Hospitality House are bound
by federal law to keep information confdential.
We cannot reveal our location, and we also
cannot reveal any information about our clients.
We are very serious about keeping our victims
safe, Jones said.
Victim safety is an important goal for the
Hospitality House and for shelters around the
U.S.
If someone tries to leave an abusive relationship,
theyve entered the most dangerous part of that
relationship. An abuser will stop at nothing to get
to what they want, which is their victim, Jones
said. Its not going to be safe to help somebody
in an abusive relationship, you really need to
call [the Hospitality House] to fgure out ways to
keep them safe and get them out.
If a person does know someone in an abusive
relationship, they can frst help by not asking
victim blaming or pointed questions such as
asking the victim what they did to provoke the
abuse.
You cant victim blame your friends if
theyve gone through something like this because
its not their fault, Jones said.
Another victim blaming question asks why
the victim stays with their abuser.
You love them, whether thats real true
love in the clich sense of the words or whether
its infatuation, Jones said. Abusers are
purposefully manipulative. Even if they dont
realize what theyre doing, they all use the same
pattern and part of that pattern is to get you to fall
in love with them.
Other reasons include giving the children a
mother or a father, saving the lives of the family
pet, fnances or being physically blocked from
leaving the house.
However, there is help. Programs such as
the Hospitality House provide a safe home for
women and children in abusive relationships.
Family Violence Intervention Programs allow
abusers to take responsibility for their violence,
the National Domestic Violence Hotline allows
victims to call in order to give resources to those
experiencing domestic abuse, and organizations
such as the GCADV help victims fnd a plan for
safety in order to escape the abuse.
According to the National Domestic Violence
Hotline, a healthy relationship is defned as
a relationship that allows both partners to
feel supported and connected but still feel
independent. If anyone feels like they are in a
relationship or partnership that does not meet
the defnition of a healthy relationship, then
they should contact one of the numbers listed in
additional resources.

Domestic violence is often defned as physical abuse in the
context of marriage or cohabitation, but the root of the problem,
abuse, transcends marriage and gender. Unfortunately, it can
happen to college students, not just people who are married.
Dating violence, or intimate partner violence is happening
in teens and college students at a signifcant rate, director
of the womens studies program and associate professor of
psychology Susan Conradsen said.
Intimate partner violence involves physical, verbal,
emotional or sexual abuse between any two people who
have an intimate relationship, not just those who are married.
Conradsen said some studies estimate that one in four women
experience some sort of violence at the hands of her partner.
Outreach advocate and Berry alumna Lauren Jones (11)
works for Hospitality House, a shelter in Rome for abused
women. She said dating violence is common in college
students.
When you get to college, youre going through a
transition. Everything is new Some people didnt start
dating until they got to school, Jones said. The problem
is that you dont understand what a real, healthy, equal
relationship is supposed to look like.
Intimate partner violence includes physical violence, but
Conradsen said that verbal abuse is also a type of intimate
partner violence. According to Love is Respect, an online
resource aimed at victims of intimate partner violence, 43
percent of college women have experienced abusive behavior
in a relationship, and almost one in three college women have
been in an abusive relationship.
In a dating relationship, if your partner wants to spend
every second of every day with you or texts you 30 times
an hour, thats overboard and it could lead to controlling
behavior and psychological, verbal, emotional abuse, Jones
said.
Jones said that in many ways mental abuse is more
damaging than physical violence.
I cannot tell you how many times a victim has told me I
would rather him just hit me than have to endure the mental
anguish over and over and over, Jones said. A bruise and
a bone can heal relatively quickly, but it takes many years to
get over some of the things that are said.
In cases of domestic and intimate relationship violence,
men are the majority of perpetrators.
Some of it has to do with the culture of masculinity. Most
men are not violent, Conradsen said. But for some men,
they grow up in this culture of boys will be boys, being
rewarded for being aggressive. Sometimes what can happen
is they are abusive with their partners.
But intimate partner violence is not limited to men abusing
women. Conradsen said that men can be victims of physical
abuse at the hands of female partners, and dating violence can
occur in homosexual relationships.
Men and boys are rewarded for being aggressive. It has to
do with the toys the boys play with, Conradsen said. When
[boys play with] superheroes, they fght the bad guys. Theres
this emphasis on being strong and tough and in control. Boys
are more likely to fght each other physically. Girls are more
likely to [fght] verbally.
Violence and control are problems in teenage and young
adult relationships. Domestic Violence is categorized by
physical and sexual abuse, and can manifest as anything from
peer pressure to intimidation to sexual coercion.

On Monday, the Supreme Court
chose not to hear cases from fve
states regarding the continuation of
their same-sex marriage bans. The
courts decision made it possible
for same-sex couples in Oklahoma,
Virginia, Wisconsin, Indiana and
Utah to receive marriage licenses.
Students can celebrate this
step towards marriage equality,
regardless of their sexuality,
by attending Atlanta Pride this
weekend.

As junior Lauren Byrd put it,
Its important not only for me
but for everyone ... because its
celebrating something weve never
really been able to celebrate in
public before.
People have been gathering
to celebrate at Atlanta Pride for
many years, hoping to participate
in the extravagant celebration of
individuality.
Atlanta Prides frst event was
held in 1970, when participants
gathered a year after the Stonewall
Riots in New York City. The frst
Atlanta Pride march was held the
next year and ran from Peachtree
Street to Piedmont Park. Pride
attendance has grown over the
years, reaching approximately
250,000 attendees in recent years.

The event draws in such
large numbers with an open,
understanding and welcoming
air. The parade is open to all
individuals wishing to support the
lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender
and queer (LGBTQ) community.
Freshman Marcus Ghee explains
that gatherings like Pride can
help individuals feel better about
themselves by allowing them to
meet with others who share their
views.
Previously held in June, the
event relocated to the Atlanta
Civic Center in 2008 and accepted
a return to Piedmont Park after
it permanently rescheduled to
October. It has been held in October
every year since
.
In 2010, Pride moved to the
second weekend of the

month to
correspond with National Coming
Out Day.
This year, Atlanta Pride will
once again coincide with National
Coming Out Day, Oct. 11. The
weekends offcial kickoff is
Oct. 10 at 7 p.m. at the Georgia
Aquarium and is sold out.
Atlanta Prides marches begin
on Saturday with the Trans March, a
parade highlighting the transgender
community. According to the
National Center for Transgender
Equality, transgender is a term
for people whose gender identity,
expression or behavior is different
from those typically associated
with their assigned sex at birth.
The Trans March aims to
showcase and celebrate these
individuals while promoting their
visibility in society. The parade will
gather at 1:15 p.m. at the Charles
Allen Gate of Piedmont Park and

will begin at 1:45 p.m.
The next march to begin
will be the Dyke March. This
march is a parade for all women,
transgender women included, of
all backgrounds to celebrate loving
other women. The march will
gather at 5:30 p.m. and begins at 6
p.m. from the Charles Allen Gate of
Piedmont Park.
The Atlanta Pride Parade gathers
at 10:30 a.m. and begins at 1 p.m.
from the Civic Center MARTA
Station. This parade features the
groups who applied to participate
earlier in the year.
Some groups who applied and
are marching this year include
Delta, Wells Fargo, Coca-Cola and
Power 96.1. Berrys own group,
LISTEN has marched the Atlanta
Pride Parade the past two years.
They will be taking a small group
this year. but will not be marching.
Other attendees gather on the
sidewalks to watch the parade,
which offcially ends at the Charles
Allen Gate of Piedmont Park.
Sophomore Sam Hollis-White
is hoping to attend this year and
is really excited to see all of the
colors ... both in personality and

literally.
Throughout the Atlanta Pride
festival there will be a marketplace
in Piedmont Park featuring over
200 vendors. The marketplace
will

be open from 10 a.m. until 7
p.m. each day. Prides corporate
sponsors are hosting a stage that
will feature performers such as
Meghan Trainor, Colbie Callait and
Lea Delaria.
The Atlanta Pride Festival
will offcially conclude with a
party featuring disc jockey duo
ROSABEL hosted at Opera, 1150
Crescent Ave. Northeast in Atlanta.
The closing party will begin at 9
p.m. and end at 3 a.m.

Puzzle of the week
The CW releases new series The Flash
Tuesday, Oct. 7, the CW
premiered their new superhero
show, The Flash. The show
focuses on the DC Comics
superhero by the same name whose
main power is traveling at super
speed.
The Flashs alter ego, Barry
Allen works as a forensic scientist
for the Central City Police
Department. After witnessing the
murder of his mother at age 11
under mysterious circumstances
and having his father arrested
for the murder, Barry researches
unexplained phenomena.
Barrys life is changed forever
when a bolt of lightning from a
failed science experiment hits
him, knocking him into chemicals
and changing him into the super-
powered Flash.
Barry is not alone, however. He
is aided by three scientiststhe
reserved Caitlin Snow, the goofy
Cisco Ramon and the mysterious
Harrison Wells. Caitlin Snow and
Cisco Ramon both have comic
book origins as the super villain
Killer Frost and the superhero the
Vibe, respectively.
Other comic book characters are
set to appear later in the series. This
includes infamous Flash villains
like Captain Cold and the Pied Piper
along with superhero Firestorm.
Arrow character Oliver Queen
also made a brief cameo in the pilot
episode, offering a familiar face for
fans of Arrow.
The character Barry Allen,
portrayed by former Glee actor
Grant Gustin, frst appeared in
another CW television show
Arrow in its second season.
Arrow has now entered its third
season, returning Oct. 8, the day
after The Flash premiered. The
Arrow episodes that Barry was
featured in were originally going
to act as a backdoor pilot to The
Flash television show. However
after positive feedback of Barrys
character, The Flash was updated
to include a full pilot.
The show includes a diverse
cast and a number of interesting
characters. The hero, Barry Allen
comes across as offbeat and
optimistic while the other main
characters Im actually interested in
knowing more about. Interspersed
with humor, the show ended up
being fun to watch while keeping
my attention.
As a self-acknowledged comic
book nerd, Ive been really excited
about the number of super hero
television shows coming this fall.
These include as mentioned the
CWs Arrow, Foxs Batman
prequel Gotham and NBCs
Constantine, which was partly
flmed at Berry, along with other
superhero shows that are still in the
planning stage.
Unlike darker superhero shows
like Gotham and Arrow, The
Flash has a lighter feel. The pilot
had a lot of smiles and laughs
along with hidden surprises for all
the comic book fans. Barry Allen
has always been a comparatively
lighter, more playful super hero in
the comic books, and its really nice
to see this carried into the television
program, proving not all superhero
shows have to be doom and gloom.
Although it stayed pretty close
to the comics in some ways, it
was not weighed down by a heavy
comic book mythos that could
cause confusion and make the show
too dependent on the comics. Even
though its a spin off, new viewers
dont have to watch Arrow to
understand what is going on.
The pilot did a good job of
quickly establishing characters and
things we already knew were going
to happen (Barry getting his powers
and testing them out), so as not to
be all exposition and explanation.
The pilot had a solid, interesting
storyline that showed viewers what
they could hopefully expect from
the rest of the season.
As expected, The Flash pilot
contained many allusions to the
comic books, including Flash facing
off against a big villain in the Flash
comic books, The Weather Wizard.
A few other comic book references
in The Flash include a broken
cage appearing to belong to comic
book villain Gorilla Grodd and
several references to a main Flash
antagonist, The Reverse Flash.
The episode ends with a giant
reference to a specifc and widely
popular comic book arc, which I
wont reveal, so new viewers dont
have it spoiled.
With a television show
involving super powers, the
special effects have a high chance
of becoming cheesy. However, I
thought The Flash did a good job
of incorporating super speed and
making it look intense.
In one of my favorite scenes of
the episode, Flash faces off against
the supervillain Weather Wizard.
The Weather Wizard, as his name
suggests, can control the weather.
He creates a tornado which the
Flash has to run quickly in the
opposite direction to counteract.
While the physics might not have
worked, the scene visually looked
very cool.
The pilot of The Flash was fun
and added a new light hearted tone
to the series of current superhero
television shows.
The Flash airs Tuesdays at 8
p.m. on the CW. It looks to be a
promising new show for fans.
COMMENTARY
BY JESS
BOZEMAN
opinions editor
PHOTO COURTESY OF THE CW
ACTOR GRANT GUSTIN STARS in the new
CW television series The Flash based on
the DC comic books by the same name.
Gustin previously appeared in shows such
as Foxs Glee and the second season of
the CWs Arrow.
Duncan talked about the
moment when he made the play
call that would ultimately force
overtime.
When I called that play, in the
back of my mind I said, I dont
think this is going to work, but Im
out of tricks, Duncan said.
Quarterback coach Tyson
Beacham explained how Jackson,
who was among the SAA football
players of the week for his
performance, was able to fnd
success throughout the game.
Dale did a really good job
of trusting his offensive line and
receivers, he said. He has a lot
of confdence in himself and the
throws that he makes.
Duncan explained how the
offense in general was able to
produce more effectively this
Saturday.
As a team we were able to fght
through a lot of tough situations,
and that was the difference between
having 90 something yards of
offensive and having 400-plus
yards of offensive like we did, he
said. Yeah, we had three dropped
passes in the game, but boy, we had
some great catches.
With the score tied at 23-23,
however, the Vikings were unable
to convert on the extra-point that
would have given them the lead.
Washington had one minute
and 21 seconds to spoil the game
now destined for overtime by
kicking a late feld goal or scoring
a touchdown.
Cornerback Malcholm Graham
was not about to let that happen,
however. The sophomore made a
one-handed diving interception that
would not only secure overtime for
the Vikings, but also earn him the
award of Division IIIs national
football play of the week.
Head coach Tony Kunczewski
said he was so happy for Malcholm
because he gives 100 percent every
play in practice.
Defensive coordinator Nate
Masters explained how the defense
was able to not allow a single
touchdown by Washington in the
fourth quarter.
The guys wanted to look at the
second half as a new half and they
did. They fnished strong, Masters
said. We knew that if we could
continue to play well in the second
half, and keep it within reach, that
the offense would eventually get
the ball in the end zone.
After a fnal defensive stand
on fourth down by the Vikings
defense, Jackson and the offense
had their chance to fnally seal
the frst victory in Berry football
history.
Kunczewski said the team has
a bunch of guys that want to make
the big play in those crunch time
situations, and they did not waste
any time doing just that.
On the frst offensive play in
overtime, Jackson threw a pass
down the middle of the feld
and connected with sophomore
wide receiver Josh Bullock for a
touchdown pass that will be long
remembered in Berry history.
The football team immediately
ran towards Bullock to celebrate
the win, and a few seconds later
Berry students began jumping
over the railing to rush the feld
and celebrate with their fellow
classmates.
Jackson described how that
moment felt and what it meant for
the team.
It was such a rush of
excitement, Jackson said. There
was so much pride that we felt as
a team in that moment. There is
no better feeling really. Knowing
as a team that we can do that,
and knowing what it feels like
to achieve it, I feel like there is
nowhere to go but up now.
Bullock fnished the game with
eight catches for 92 yards and two
touchdowns, while Jackson was
29-47 for 374 yards and had four
total touchdowns.
After the game, the football team
and their fellow students gathered
together in front of the home
bleachers and sang the Berry alma
matter in unison. This rendition
was immediately followed by a
freworks display that lit up the
sky in celebration of Berrys 100th
Mountain Day as students chanted
Berry College in unison.
Kunczewski said this unifed
pride shared between students and
players was the thing he was most
proud of.
The chant was Berry College.
It wasnt Berry football, and thats
one of the things football can bring
enhancing the campus vibrancy,
he said.
With their frst win in the books
after a night to be remembered,
the Vikings play again at Centre
College in Danville, Ky. on Oct.
11.
JASON HUYNH, photojournalism editor
BERRY RALLIED from a 13 point deficit in the fourth quarter to force overtime
(OT) against the Washington University in St. Louis Bears. The Vikings defense
held the Bears when they decided to run the ball on fourth down with one
yard to the first down in OT. In the very next play, quarterback Dale Jackson
connected with fellow sophomore Josh Bullock to win the game with a
touchdown pass that will go down in Berry football history.
