App to track class bus routes in developmentMATT PULFORD

Staff Reporter

The Berry class buses can be difficult to locate,but a sma rt phone app is bei ng dev eloped whi chwould help students track the buses.

The app has been developed by two students

to track the route and progress of the Berry classbuses . Howev er, this app is st ill in the pro totyp eand planning stages and is not yet available to thepublic.

Cal Supik, a senior and co-designer of the pro-gram said initially this tracking system was to bestarted last spring.

Though the tests worked, there were kinks andlogistics to work out before the app could be madewidely available. However, another attempt this fallis possible, Supik said.

This Internet-based app would give the locationof the two class buses around campus.

Our application would track the bus[es] in realtime where [they] were on campus. We decided tohave a map for the users to see, and an icon that lit-erally moves as the bus moves, Supik said.

According to Campus Scheduling CoordinatorHelen Simmons, whose office manages bus routesand scheduling, the bus driver would sign in andthe icon would appear. The app would featurealerts if there were a flat tire, maintenance issue or

an emergency situation, she said.Students would open a web browser, follow a

link and then be able to track the buses. Each buswould have a designated color, Simmons said.

If youre a student trying to catch the bus, youcan see where it is and youll know whether to turnleft or right to catch it, Simmons said.

Supik said there are several logistics that needto be worked out before this application can bemade available to the public. These changes includeswitching servers that the app runs on and decid-ing how best to track the individual buses, Supikadded.

Nadeem Hamid, associate professor of mathe-matics and computer science, supervised the classproject last spring, and according to him, the appwas hosted on the computer science server. Presum-ably, the app would be integrated into the IT de-partment and run on the Berry server, he said.

In the prototype phases, the buses have beentracked by using the internal location of an iPhoneor Android device on the bus, Hamid said. The nextstep, according to Supik, is to decide whether to in-vest in a GPS tracking system or continue using thesignal from mobile devices.

Once the application is made public, use of theclass buses is expected to increase.

Some people dont know when and where thebus run s, Simmo ns sa id. So having this informa -

tion available to students will be huge. And in termsof having this resource information to students willincrease [use of the buses].

Several students have already expressed excite-ment at the proposition of this tracking application.

Sophomore Brittany Jones frequently rides theclass buses as long as she can find them.

I dont ride it in the mornings because I neverknow if one will be there or not, Jones said.Katie Johnson, sophomore and mountain campus

resident, shared similar sentiments and enthusiasmfor the app.

Im really excited about it. A lot of times youget stuck on main campus for an hour if youre notcertain on route times, Johnson said.

Even a Berry alumna affirmed the positivity ofthis new app. Erin Moniz, director of student min-istries and 2003 graduate, has been a long time sup-porter of public transportation, and she feels thatthis virtual locator will only increase bus use.

Most people dont use the class buses because oflack of communication and schedule issues, Monizsaid.

A more easily located class bus might result inless individual car use, helping reduce our carbonfootprint, Moniz added.

We have a lot of cars on campus, Moniz said.We dont want to have everyone drive their carseverywhere.

New to Berry, the Viking Drumlinearrived on the scene this fall and arepreparing for their first performance atthe inaugural Vikings football game.

Headed by John David, visiting in-structor for the percussion and jazz en-semble, the process for member selec-tion began last May with a mass emailto all students inviting anyone inter-ested in drumline to a meeting. Those

who were interested and went to themeeting attended a drum camp fromAug. 23-25 of this year. During camp,the line was chosen for the upcomingseason.

For this year, the drumline will con-sist of four snare drums, three tenors,five basses, and four cymbals. David

bel iev es tha t thi s is a dec ent siz e for afirst year program.

Not a bad battery forright out ofthe gate, David said.

Even though the line is new, Davidwants to set a high standard for theline. He hopes that the line will playat a high level, but in addition, enjoytheir time spent with the line.

The Viking Drumline does not planto only perform at football games. In-stead, David said that the drumlinewill be the official music ensemble forBerry athletics, playing at multiplesporting events throughout the year.

David is excited about the newdrumline, and believes that it is a goodthing for Berry. He also hopes that

the drumline will promote the musicdepartment.Even if youre not a football fan,

even if youre not sure youre endors-ing this whole change yet, a drumlineis cool and fun to listen to and its a

good thing for our school, David said.Its something that will hopefullyhelp generate interest in the music de-

partment and help us recruit and justbe a l itt le more vis ibl e.Sophomore Jordan Epperson, a

snare drummer for the Viking Drum-line, also believes that it is going to bea good year for the drumline and that

the line is nearly prepared for their in-augural performance Saturday, eventhough the line has only been able topractice together for about two weeks.

Just given the time, we are doing apretty fair job, Epperson said.

Epperson is also excited about fu-ture years with the Viking Drumline.

He said he hopes for growth of thedrumline not only in size but also inpopularity. He also said he has highhopes for the drumline and its impacton the commun ity.

Id like for not only the drumline,but Berry music to be kin d of a sta n-dard for this areaId like for Berry tokind of be like an integral part of thecommunity, Epperson said.

In regards to their upcoming Satur-day performance, Epperson did not re-veal what music the drumline is goingto play. Instead, he said that it was asurprise.

Several students are excited aboutthe new drumline on campus. SeniorAlex Purdie believes that the newdrumline will be another way to showthe excellence of Berry.

Im excited to see Berry develop adrumline, thus showing our willing-

ness to adopt and become more thanwe were before, Purdie said. Berrytends to rise and become a standard ofexcellence for all we are involved in. Icant wait for the drumline to initiateanother example of that.

White House develops plan to cut college costsMEGAN REED

News Editor

The White House released a statementlast week detailing a plan aimed at mak-ing college more affordable.

The press release, published on Aug.22, stated that higher education is thesingle most important investment stu-dents can make in their own futures butthat getting an education has never beenmore expensive.

Berrys tuition is $1,440 higher thisacademic year than it was last year, whilethe average tuition at a four-year publicuniversity has increased by 250 percentover the past thirty years. However, theaverage income of a family has only risen16 percent, so many families are strug-gling to pay for college.

Many students and their familieschoose to take out student loans to helpwith college costs. While loans do helpstudents afford college, many studentsare in debt after graduating. The average

bor rowe r now gradua tes wit h more tha n$26,000 in debt, according to the White

House press release.The Obama administration plans to

help struggling college graduates byestablishing a Pay as You Earn program,which will cap student loan payments at10 percent of the borrowers income. Thispayment plan would be available to any

bor rowe r who nee ds it.An enrollment campaign for this pro-

gram will begin this fall, and the Depart-ment of Education will contact borrowerswho have fallen behind on their loan pay-ments and undergraduate borrowers withespecially high amounts of debt. Thiscampaign will continue into the future sothat students know what their options arewhen they need to repay their loans.

76 percent of Berry students took out

a federal student loan in 2012, MarciaMcConnell, director of financial aid, said.The student loan interest rate is cur-

rently 3.86 percent for undergraduatestudents. Legislation passed last monthallows for the rate to increase with mar-ket rates, although the interest rate forundergraduates is capped at 8.25 percent.

The rate had doubled from 3.4 percent to6.8 percent in July after Congress failedto reach an agreement. The new interestrate will apply to all loans taken out after

Jul . 1 .I know students are wary of an

increase in the rate because they want tobe abl e to pay bac k stu den t loa ns, myselfincluded, sophomore Rachel Blair said.

The press release also proposed estab-lishing a new college rating system by the2015 school year. Colleges will be rated onaffordability, graduation rates and gradu-ate earnings. These ratings are intendedto help students make informed decisionsabout which college to attend. Federal aid

to colleges will also be based on this infor-mation, although Berry does not receivefederal aid because it is a private college.

McConnell said she believes this ratingsystem will be beneficial to students try-ing to choose a college.

Anything that can be provided tostudents to give them a clear picture of

the cost associated with colleges wereencouraged by, McConnell said. Wedefinitely believe in consumer informa-tion and being able to educate studentson affordability.

Student aid will also be based on theseratings by 2018. Students attending highlyrated colleges could receive larger PellGrants and more affordable loans.

Pell Grants are available to undergrad-uate students and do not hav e to be repaid.Eligibility is determined by the studentsexpected family contribution, which thestudent provides on their Free Applica-tion for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). 25percent of Berry students received Pell

grants in 2012, McConnell said.Also, according to the White Housepress release, schools with high dropoutrates will be required to disburse studentaid over the course of the semester ratherthan in one lump sum at the beginning ofthe semester. This will help prevent thewaste of Pell dollars.

College is about reinventingyourself. Its about doing thingsyou would never do and discov-ering yourself for the rst, sec-ond and even a third time. I rein-vented myself by entering Berryas an out gay man, and Im goingto leave Berry as an out gay man.

If youre like R. Kelly andyoure trapped in the closet, Berryis a pretty good place to start. Imnot saying you should immedi-

ately come out, because that is anincredibly personal struggle thateveryone should do on their owntime. But let me tell you, comingout is single-handedly the mostscary yet freeing thing many ofus will ever do.

The scary part is the fact thatyou can never know what some-ones reaction may be to yourclosely-held secret. I look at theact of coming out as causingfour possible reactions.

The rst I like to call neutralsurprise. You come out to some-one, they say I had no idea! Canyou pick out my outt? Thissituation is neutral, because its

great that they didnt questionyour sexuality before and areobviously okay with it, but nowthey are going to constantly cometo you for outt advice. Dontgive them your number.

The second is angry shock.This scenario is the worst, andrarely happens, contrary to popu-

lar belief. It usually goes like thisespecially if they are the same sex

as you are: What? You spend thenight in my room! and they goon to assume that you just wantto get weird with them simply

because youre attracted to thesame sex. This is repulsive. Theyalso rarely get over the fact thatyoure attracted to the same sex.If a friend responds to you inthis way, they do not deserveyour friendship.

The third is genuine under-standing via (sometimes) previ-ous knowledge. The person youcome out to just knew you weregay, and didnt make a fuss aboutit. Some people just naturallyhave gaydar and/or are com-

pletely cool with it because theyare intelligent and cool, simple asthat.

The nal scenario is ambiva-lence, then acceptance. This isthe exceedingly common type ofa person who has rarely seen amember of the LGBT community,much less interacted with one,

but they are a kind and intelli-gent person who will eventuallysee past your sexuality becausethey realize that sexuality is justanother part of you.

Berry used to be a much lesstolerant place. Used to, in thiscase, means a little over a yearago. Shocking, right? Berrys

environment was not tolerant in this case meaning not tol-erant of the LGBT community because there was no ofcialLGBT organization on campus.There was an unofcial one,which had been operating moreor less in the shadows for over adecade, trying to get the colleges

approval.A lot of things kept LISTEN,

the aforementioned LGBT orga-nization, from becoming an of-cial approved group, and nallythose things fell by the wayside,thanks to an email sent campus-wide by one faculty member bythe name of John Countryman;the email heard around the cam-pus, sent during the spring of2012.

That spark lead other facultyand staff to come out in supportof the very present, if small, LGBTcommunity. Berry was honoredin the 2012 Atlanta Pride parade.I cried a bunch. It was awesome.

I entered Berry completely outof the closet. I was cognizantly

ippant about my sexuality,because I felt that if I was, every-one else would be. It doesnt mat-ter what you are. Youre a human

being and Berry student, and thatshould be enough to receive anoperational level of respect fromyour peers.

Berry has become muchmore openly tolerant of theLGBT community and its timewe all took advantage of that.LISTEN gaining ofcial statuswithin the Berry community gavepeople like me a place to feel safe.Its like Berry nally noticed usand said, Welcome home!

If youre a member of the LGBT

community, or even an LGBTally, you should also be a mem-ber of LISTEN. Theres not alot of us, and weve got to sticktogether. Not sure about comingout? Come to the meeting as anLGBT ally, and no one will judgeor pressure you into coming out.

OPINIONSPAGE 4, CAMPUS CARRIER SEPTEMBER 5, 2013

The Carrier editorial reflects a consensus of the The Carriers editorial board.

How we should use social media

If you havent seen peopletalking about Miley Cyrusexcessively, then you mustnot check the Internet. Haveyou seen as many Facebookupdates or tweets about theissues in Syria or Egypt?People should becomeinformed and place theiropinions on social media.In the end, complaining isall right because that meansthere is an opinion beingheld, but the focus shouldbe placed more upon issuesthat have the possibility ofextreme impact.

There are often com-plaints about other com-plaints; take this article, forexample. Some readers ndthis annoying. Look at it thisway: complaining meanssomeone has an opinion.Let them have it. Whether itmeans you have an opinion,or an opinion about another

opinion. Honestly, whathurts us in the end is whenwe limit our minds to holdthe issues that arent the big-gest ones at the end of theday.

That is the problem: Webecome more intrigued withreading articles about MileyCyrus wearing minimalclothing sticking her tongueout while grinding on RobinThicke than Obama sendingmissiles to Syria. This wasplaced in the top news sec-tion on CNNs website. We

have conict in Syria, yethere we are placing MileyCyrus in the spot wherearticles about September 11were held.

We have civil wars, philo-sophical texts and thingsthat have substance goingon throughout the worldevery day. Some xation onthe entertainment world isacceptable, but once thatssolely where your xation isplaced, a problem starts aris-ing. That is not to say thatyour opinion on Miley isntamusing, but we should befocused on other importantmatters. Trite issues donttruly affect us in the end. IfPlato was alive, he wouldprobably be angry.

When we dont becomeinformed or have opinions,we are taking advantage ofthe miracle of human con-sciousness. Being informedis a beautiful thing, notsomething we should lookupon in disgust. Not only areyou educating yourself, butyoure also educating those

around you. Not everyone isgoing to agree with you andpeople are going to add ontoyour knowledge. Accept it.Focus on the big things, notthe lyrics of Blurred Lines.

It is not difcult to getcaught up with the latestcelebrity controversy. Unfor-tunately, it is more difcultto grab a New York Timesand read it front to back andrecall every detail. Even ifthis seems impossible or if itis not exactly your cup of tea,we should at least attempt

to grasp what is going on allaround the world so we canhave informed opinions andmake informed decisions.

Doing nothing.

When people say they went toa geek convention, what do youthink of? ComicCon, with its gigan-tic booths and big name attendees?MomoCon, the formerly free GeorgiaTech convention? Swag bags, boozeand scantily dressed women? Furriesand Stormtroopers? I guarantee thatwhatever you first think of as a con, itis not what I imagine.

Instead of just attending Dragon*Con,the annual Atlanta convention over LaborDay weekend, I worked as a volunteerfor the Tolkiens Middle Earth track.

As a volunteer for the convention, Ihave to work 25 hours at my section ofthe convention. I usually have a job Irefer to as the friendly neighborhood

door Dragon or the unexpectedbouncer. This means I si t ou tside thetrack room door and make sure peopleline up for panels in an orderly fash-ion and are all attendees at the con-vention. Due to room size and eventattendance, we couldnt have morethat 300 people in our tiny track room.No one wants to make the fire mar-shal angry, and it is usually my job toensure his satisfaction.

Another thing I do is run the micro-phone for question and answer pan-els, either with scholarly panelists orcelebrities. This year, the important

celebrities for my area at the Con w ereGraham McTavish, Sylvester McCoy,

Manu Bennett and William Kircher.These four men are main actors inThe Hobbit adaptations by Peter

Jackson.These panels are heavily fan-run

and therefore have volunteers keepinterference and inappropriate ques-tions to a minimum. We could nothave people asking about lawsuits orfor hugs or the panel might never end.

In my opinion, volunteering is thebest way to get involved in a conven-tion like Dragon*Con. Though vol-unteers have to dedicate a significantportion of their time to their sectionof the Con, if they pick right and areinvolved in a subject that they love, itwill barely feel like work. The perksof volunteering are good too. After the

first year, which is sort of a probation-ary period, a volunteer badge is free.There are no restrictions on what youcan do with a volunteer badge.

As a volunteer, you get to see a dif-ferent side of the convention. You getto have a hands on experience andhelp people have the best time theypossibly can at an event that is possi-

bly on e of the largest of i ts kind in thesoutheast. If you like helping peopleand being geeky at the same time, vol-unteering at Dragon*Con is definitelysomething to consider.

The greatnessof Dragon*Con

Binge-watchingNetix.

If I had to sum up one thing Ivelearned in college, it would be this: Peopleare people.

This week, the people of the UnitedStates are in discussion and members ofCongress are evaluating whether or notwe should intervene in the Syrian civilwar. Think outside the box when it comesto intervention in Syria. You know which

box Im talking about: turn off your TV.Forget watching season 4 of This Dread-ful Economy or that horror show BarackObama: Is He for Real or is this George W.Bush Episode II?

President Obama said a few monthsago that the use of chemical weapons isthe red line that would spark his inter-vention in the Syrian civil war. Weveseen that term thrown around, in thenews and in our own lives. Now theworld knows that Assad unquestionablyused chemical weapons to systematicallyexterminate 1,429 people on the morn-ing of August 21st. On September 3rd,Secretary of State John Kerry testied tothe Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-tions that we know beyond any reason-able doubt that Assad prepared for thisattack, telling his own forces to use gasmasks. There is physical evidence thatshows every geographical point of impactthat was affected by Sarin. It all landed inopposition-controlled territory. This wasno accident.

Sarin is an odorless nerve agent that

has been deemed a Schedule 1 Substanceby the United Nations Chemical WeaponsConvention. A Schedule 1 Substance is amaterial that has little or no use outsideof chemical warfare. Through his use ofSarin, Bashar Al Assads intentions arenot only homicidal, but they are transpar-ently so.

So let me throw in the idea of R2Pthe Responsibility to Protect. Despite

the continuous debate over R2P, heads ofstate from every corner of the world haveendorsed a version of R2P at the 2005meeting of the United Nations. Article138 of the Summit Outcome Documentarticulates the duty of individual sover-eign states to protect their own popula-tions from four types of mass atrocitycrimes: war crimes, genocide, crimesagainst humanity and ethnic cleansing.It is also their responsibility to preventthe commission and incitement of saidcrimes. The following paragraph, Article139, grants the international community(working through the UN) with the coun-teractive power to take collective action,on a case by- case basis, using the toolsnecessary- humanitarian, diplomatic andeven forceful means in situations wherenational authorities are manifestly fail-ing to protect their populations fromsuch crimes. Article 139 also conrmsthe commitment of the international com-munity to support states in building themeans to defend their populations, and toact before crises fully develop.

Secretary Kerry said it well in his tes-timony to the Foreign Relations Commit-tee, Its about humanitys red line, andits a red line that anyone with a con-science out to draw. This is about yourred line, young citizens!

The Syrian Opposition is a group ofpeople who are unequipped, scared, andin my view, unprotected by the interna-

tional community. Remember these threethings: rst, Bashar Al Assad has violatedinternational law with his treatment ofhis citizens. Second, this mans regimehas screwed up the livelihoods of liter-ally millions of people.Last, people arepeople.

The decision heardround the world

After reading the letter to theeditor, I tried really hard to ndanother subject to write about.But there is just about nothing

more important happening inour world right now than Syria.On Wednesday, a Senatorial

board approved President BarackObamas Syrian resolution. Theresolution is not well-denedright now; it goes to debate nextweek. What is dened, however,is that the U.S. will not sendground troops to assist Syria.

Whoo.I understand that Syrias

government has broken interna-tional law by using Sarin gas intheir civil war, and that the worldshould support the rebels.

Except the rebels have killedthousands of civilians in theirght against the government,

often by using explosives to tar-get government ofcials. Theseexplosives regularly miss theirtargets, instead killing innocent

bystanders.So that is the impossible deci-

sion I see America having tomake: Do we support a govern-ment that has broken interna-tional law, or do we support arebellion that is just as violent,and that would most likely createa gang state if victorious? (Therebels largely consist of religiousand non-religious extremists thatwould most likely be ghtingeach other if it werent for therebellion.)

One of the biggest threatswhen it comes to Syria is theirties to Russia. A war with Rus-sia would have unimaginableconsequences.

Vietnam started with U.S.advisers and a limited Navalpresence, Democratic Sen. TomUdall of New Mexico said. It ledto an all-out war. Is Syria ourgenerations Vietnam? I feel thisconict, if it became full-blown,would bring nothing but despairto any party involved.

Though this isn't break-ing news, deer have beena major part of Berry lifesince before any of us canremember. And who canresist "oohing" and "ah-hing" over the preciousfawns?

Professor of Animal Sci-

ence, George Gallagher,who has conducted re-search on the Berry deer,was able to shed some in-sight on the fawns. Whilethe fawning season reaches

its peak by mid-May tomid-June, the season ingeneral can extend fromthe end of April to the endof July.

Also, according to na-tional statistics combinedwith data on Berry deer, 882fawns on average are bornat Berry each year. How-ever, within two months of

being born, approximately265 fawns remain becauseof a mortality rate of 70

percent. This high mortal-ity rate is due in part to anincreasing population ofcoyotes, as well as a deadlyvirus, called epizootic hem-orrhagic disease, that only

Berry students remained loyalto the mission of serving withhead, heart and hands even dur-ing the summer months, as evi-denced by a particular team ofservants this summer.

Berry College Volunteer Ser-vices (BCVS) organized a trip thissummer that allowed students tomake the long bus trip to Moore,Oklahoma to assist with tornadodisaster relief. While there, thestudents were able to participatein a range of tasks assigned bythe disaster relief organizationOperation Blessing.

Susan Conradsen, associateprofessor of psychology, AlexMiddleton, Social Media Spe-cialist and Caroline Tait, formerCamps and Conferences Coordi-

nator, accompanied the group torepresent the faculty and staff ofBerry.

Students all had somewhatsimilar stories as to what theyvalued most on the trip. Sopho-

more Alex Lowe recalled her fa-vorite memory from the trip.

"[My favorite memory was]when we were cleaning up theremains of a familys houseand I found a glasses case withglasses still inside that had beenuntouched," Lowe said. "A fewminutes later, someone in ourgroup found an elementaryschool picture of a girl wear-ing the same glasses. It broughtchills, and tears to my eyes.

The girl in the picture had at-tended Plaza Towers Elementary

School, which was completelydestroyed in the storm.

Junior Taylor Norton sharedsome of his favorite aspects ofthe trip as well.

Over-involvement of thegovernment has always beena topic of discussion, but Ed-ward Snowden brought newevidence of government spy-ing into light this summer.Snowden, a retired govern-ment agency contractor whocame forward with informa-tion about the National Se-

curity Agencys (NSA) con-nection in the invasive emailtaps on the presidents ofBrazil and Mexico. Accord-ing to Snowden, the NSAtapped into the telecommu-nications and e-mail of bothof these world leaders with-out their knowledge.

The U.S. government has

been blamed for beingoverly involved in globalaffairs many times, and theSnowden scandal does nothelp its image on a globallevel.

While Mexican and Bra-zilian governments expectformal apologies, damagehas been done and the rela-

tionships between the U.S.and Brazil and Mexico maytake a while to smooth out.

Not only does this scan-dal affect the U.S. on aglobal scale, but the tacticsemployed in this case alsomake citizens wonder whatthe government has accessto within our nation.

At the beginning of the summer, the Egyp-tian government began dealing with great up-risings, as there have been new regime shifts

throughout the Middle East. These conictsgained much press coverage because of thewidespread nature of the protests and the vio-lent responses of the government.

Last month, the death toll rose to 900, whichincluded civilians as well as those in security.Egypt as a nation is trying to recover from theshock of the violence.

Though the United States has historicallyhad a very close relationship with the Egyp-

tian government, President Barack Obama hasbeen forced to pull back support of their gov-ernment because of the human rights issues

surrounding the treatment of the Egyptianprotestors. Obama does not always have theliberty of making popular decisions, and that

became all too evident in this situation.Former Egyptian President Mohammed

Morsi, one of the key players in the violent mil-itary actions, is expected to stand trial for mur-der in the future at a date yet to be announced.

There were some dramat-ic debates regarding the De-fense of Marriage Act, or asit is better known, DOMA.

The DOMA was original-ly signed during the Clintonadministration as a way ofprotecting states rights andsovereignty in regards totheir dealings with the insti-

tution of marriage. Accord-ing to the original DOMA,states have the right to maketheir own call on whether ornot to accept the legitimacyof homosexual couples as it

was declared and acceptedby other states.

Conicts arose this sum-mer when section three ofthe act was re-evaluatedand considered unconstitu-tional. Section three soughtto dene the institution ofmarriage as a heterosexualrelationship between one

man and one woman, whichhas become a somewhat hottopic in recent years.

Many consider this de-nition too limiting and con-trary to the rights of indi-

viduals to make their owndecisions regarding choiceof partner. In recent years,as more American citizensare beginning to becomemore open-minded towardsthe concept of homosexualunions, it comes as no sur-prise that this controversialact has been brought into

question.This summer, the Su-

preme Court made the de-cision to no longer acceptsection three of DOMA aslegitimate in their cases.

Netix expands services to include original seriesJOSHUA WILLIS

Staff Reporter

Along with countless lms, documenta-ries and TV shows, Netix now offers sev-eral original series for subscribers to enjoyon demand.

In 2013, the American Internet streamingmedia provider released House of Cards,Hemlock Grove, Orange is the NewBlack and the fourth season of ArrestedDevelopment. These shows joined Lily-hammer, the rst Netix original series,which premiered in 2012.

Though each series differs in tone andsubject matter, many viewers and crit-ics view their originality, intelligence andentertainment value to be common factors.

Lilyhammer, the inaugural Netixoriginal series, is a Norwegian-Americancomedy/crime drama centering on FrankThe Fixer Tagliano, an ex-underboss forthe Italian maa, after his relocation to Lille-hammer, Norway by witness protection.

In David Finchers crime drama House

of Cards, Kevin Spacey stars as FrankUnderwood, a South Carolina Democratand House Majority Whip who exacts

revenge after not being appointed Secre-tary of State, despite the presidents prom-ise. The dark and gritty drama takes a diveinto the dark side of politics, where money,drugs and sex are more important thanvotes.

Set in a ctional town in Pennsylvania,Hemlock Grove is a thriller with horrorelements that deals with a mysterious dou-

ble murder, the powerful Godfrey familyand werewolves.

Fans of Arrested Developmentrejoiced after Netix re-debuted the show,which FOX originally cancelled in 2006after just three seasons. In this model ofintelligent humor, Michael Bluth tries tokeep his dysfunctional family togetherwhile keeping his incarcerated fathers

business aoat. In this unprecedentedreboot, Netix introduced a new, character-based episode layout specically designedto work with the video services online

watching format.Orange is the New Black, Netixs

most popular original series so far, concerns

soap-making artisan Piper Chapman whois sent to a minimum-security prison afterbeing named an accomplice by her herointrafcking ex-girlfriend. There, she meets adiverse and dizzying array of inmates andprison workers, portrayed by a large, pri-marily female ensemble cast.

Though the artistic merit of the origi-nal series was important to the showscreators, they were primarily created toincrease Netixs subscriber base. The com-pany considers the production cost for eachshow an investment, not an expenditure.Since introducing the shows, Netix added630,000 new streaming subscribers in theUS. Though this is below the 900,000 theyhad hoped for, the shows have proved to bepopular with viewers. In fact, each series is

more popular than the last. All shows wererenewed for new seasons in 2014.The original series were warmly

received by most critics. At the 65th Pri-

metime Emmy Awards, House of Cardsreceived nine nominations, including Out-standing Drama Series, Outstanding Lead

Actor in a Drama Series (Kevin Spacey)and Outstanding Lead Actress in a DramaSeries (Robin Wright), the rst time aweb series has been recognized by televi-sions top award. Arrested Developmentreceived three including Outstanding LeadActor in a Comedy Series (Jason Bateman),while Hemlock Grove also received sev-eral minor nominations.

Because the series have been so success-ful, Netix CEO Reed Hastings recentlystated that he wants to double the com-panys amount of original programming in2014. Along with Ricky Gervaiss Derekand Sense8, a series concept created byLana and Andy Wachowski,possible newadditions include Marco Polo, an ambi-tious show based on the famous explorer

and set in warring 13th century China.As new shows emerge, it is expectedthat Netix will continue to revolutionizethe way that viewers follow series.

The Moon Gallery opened itsrst exhibition of the year, featur-ing works created by Berry artprofessor Brian Barr.

Barr is the Professor of Art atGeorgia Highlands College, anda part-time professor at Berry. Hereceived his Masters of Fine Artsat the New York Academy of Art,and specializes in gure drawingand painting.

Barrs exhibit features a collec-tion of works from several proj-ects, including drawings from agraphic novel style comic series,as well as illustrations for a chil-drens book.

Barrs current project, Jack-daw, is a unique style of comicstrip featuring realistic actiongures as characters in a super-hero story.

Jackdaw is basically a super-

hero story told from the point ofview of the sidekick, Barr said.

Barr noted that this series dif-fers from the traditional natureof his training, but he enjoys thedistinct style.

This work represents mydesire to go beyond my past,static, design-oriented work andexplore the classic role of visual

art in a story-telling medium,Barr said, according to an infor-mational panel at the entrance tothe gallery.

Barr, along with his friendKelly Shane, thought up the ideaof Jackdaw a couple of years

ago. When they created a pro-posal and sent it to potentiallyinterested parties, they did notreceive much feedback from any-one wanting to publish it. Barrcontinued to work on the series,

but put it on hold for other proj-ects, such as the illustration of thechildrens book Martin the Gui-tar, written by Harry Mussel-white, senior lecturer in the musicdepartment at Berry.

At the beginning of this year,the Jackdaw series became aweekly online comic, captivatingreaders with its witty and engag-ing storyline. Readers can checkthe website (www.jackdawcomic.

com) each week for a new install-ment in the adventures of thedynamic characters.

Barr has thirty pieces of art cur-rently on exhibition in the MoonGallery. The collection mostlyconsists of illustrations fromJackdaw, as well as some illus-trations from Martin the Guitar.The works will be on display inthe gallery through Sept. 20.

Students at the gallery talksaid they liked the style of Barrswork.

I thought it was very inter-esting, especially since Im in

drawing class, senior KendraMacomber said.It gave me some-thing to aspire to.

Jere Lykins, director of theMoon Gallery, encourages all stu-

dents, faculty and staff who areinterested in realist, or naturalis-tic drawing and painting to visitthe gallery and enjoy this excitingexhibition.

The Vikings football team tookthe eld for the rst time againstanother team on Saturday in apre-season scrimmage againstColumbus State University.

Although Columbus Statesteam was a club team, the Vikingswalked away from their rstintercollegiate scrimmage boast-ing a 14-0 win. For all but three ofthe players on the Vikings activeroster, the scrimmage againstColumbus State was their rstexperience scrimmaging againstcollege players not wearing aBerry Vikings uniform.

The scrimmage went verywell,sophomore defensive tackleBen McWhorter said. It was therst time we really got to hit any-

body besides our own teammates.

This wasnt a blue versus silvergame, this was against anothercollege, even though it was a clubteam. There is room for improve-ment, but it showed where we areat as a team, and it was a goodwin for all of us.

Junior running back Bo Heardalso expressed the excitement ofplaying a different school.

It was really exciting to goout and hit someone other thanour players, Heard said. It wasgreat for the offense to see a newdefense, and our defense to see anew offense.

The Vikings will play the pro-grams rst ofcial intercolle-

giate game this Saturday againstthe Maryville College Scots. Lastseason, the Scots nished with arecord of 6-4. They won ve out oftheir nal six games of the season,and nished the year on a three-game winning streak.

Maryville is going to betough, Heard said. We arepumped though, and we are de-nitely not taking the game lightly.It is going to be a tough game,

but its really exciting. We are all

really excited to represent Berry.Heard is among the many

players who are excited to get theVikings football inaugural under-way as well.

We are pretty excited for theupcoming game, sophomoredefensive back Zach Valentinesaid. I think the outcome of thisgame will say a lot of how theseason is going to be. This is ourrst real game. Seeing how we

respond to it is what I am mostlooking forward to. I know weare going to look good out there.

Kickoff for the Vikings inaugu-ral football game on Saturday willtake place at 6 p.m. at Barron Sta-dium on Martha Berry Highwaynear downtown Rome.

The biggest thing to remem-ber is to things in perspective,Vikings football head coach TonyKunczewski said. When the

game starts we will have onlybeen practicing as a team for threeweeks. [Today] is the three weekaniversary. But we have somegreat attitudes on the team with agroup of boys who are very fun towork with and very talented. Weare looking forward to playing.

The said they are excited aboutmaking history as the rst foot-

ball team in school history.We are starting a new pro-

gram at Berry and I think every-one is looking forward to it,McWhorter said. We are excitedabout everyone who comes tosupport us. But most of all, weare excited to make history as therst Berry football team. We thinkthat people are going to underes-timate us as a rst-year program,

but we look forward to going inthe underdog and coming out ontop.

The Vikings soccer team has started theseason at 2-0 after defeating the PiedmontCollege Lions (0-2) with a score of 4-0 on Sun-day. Just two days before their victory over theLions, the Lady Vikings defeated the Louisi-

ana College Wildcats (2-1) with a score of 4-0as well.

Sundays game against the Lions startedout slow for the Vikings, as they only held a1-0 lead at halftime. Their lone goal in the rsthalf came from a shot by senior midelder

Josh Hughes after assists by junior forwardChristian Fulbright and sophomore defenderEvan Echols.

We were really excited about the game,Fulbright said. The competition wasnt whatwe were hoping it to be, but we are lookingforward to the upcoming games. We hope thatthe upcoming games will be a challenge sothat we can see what we can do. We are reallylooking forward to seeing how far we can gothis season.

Following the halftime break, the Vikings

found a stronger pace and scored three moregoals to close the game.The rst of the three goals in the second

half came from Fulbright who was assisted bysophomore forward Caleb Lucas. Freshmanmidelder Christian Zapata tacked on the nextgoal for the Vikings, and junior midelder ZakWillingford put the game out of reach with theVikings fourth and nal goal.

Sophomore goalkeeper Logan Hill was thestarting goalie for the Vikings and earned thewin. Fellow sophomore goalkeeper ZacharyWroblewski played the second half to seal theshutout.

It has been a good season so far, juniordefender Matt Williams said. Everybodylooks like they are in shape. We are coming offof a great season from last year as conference

champions. We also have some solid recruits.It looks like a promising season so far.

The Vikings will take the eld again on Sat-urday against the St. Olaf College Lions in theSewanee Tournament in Sewanee, Tennessee.

We dont know too much about St. Olaf,except they have a different style of play, Ful-

bright said. I expect the games this weekendto be winnable. We know what our expec-tations are and how to meet them, and weintend on delivering.

Following their game on Saturday, theVikings will play the University of the OzarksEagles on Sunday.
