CU to host Big South men’s tourney
By Eric OrtizContributing Writer
Campbell women’s soccer’s impressive season came to an end Sunday afternoon after falling in the Big South Conference cham-pionship match at Bryan Park in Greensboro, N.C. The No. 1-seed Liberty Flames topped the No. 4-seed Fighting Camels, 1-0.
Over the weekend, the Fighting Camels received a ton of support from their fans. Along with family of the players, many students made the trip from Buies Creek to sup-port the team in Greensboro. The atmosphere was ecstatic.
In the opening round of the Big South Tournament, on Nov. 1, Campbell hosted the quarter-final match against No. 5-seed
UNC Asheville. The lone goal in the match was scored on senior Ashley Clark’s penalty kick in the 67th minute leading the Camels to a 1-0 victory and a semifi-nal matchup against No. 2-seed Coastal Carolina.

Excitement rang in Gore Arena when faculty, students, and communi-ty members heard that Campbell was selected as the host school for the Big South Men’s Basketball Champion-ship. The tournament will take place March 3 to 6, 2016, and this will be the first time that Campbell will host the men’s event.
“We look forward to March Mad-ness this spring,” said Campbell presi-dent J. Bradley Creed. “This event will have a huge economic impact on this area. This is the largest multi-day event ever to come to Campbell’s campus.”

AROUND CAMPUSState to close 421 for tunnel work beginning Nov. 16
The N.C. Department of Transportation will start road closures and detours on U.S. 421/N.C. 27 begin-ning Nov. 16 in Buies Creek as work continues on a new pedestrian tunnel at Campbell University.
Local traffic will still have access to campus via Les-lie Campbell Avenue and Harmon Road.
Other motorists will follow a signed detour using Johnson Farm Road to Sheriff Johnson Road to Old Stage Road to N.C. 27 back to U.S. 421.
The detour is anticipated to last about one month before U.S. 421/N.C. 27 is reopened to one lane of travel in each direction. The tunnel is antici-pated to be open to the public in the summer of 2016. Crews will continue work to the surrounding area, including planting vegetation, through December 2016.
Karah Wilson winner of TAG Day video scholarship contest
Campbell University’s Office of Annual Giving has an-nounced that undergraduate student Karah Wilson won the 2015 #CampbellTAG-Day video contest and a $1,000 scholarship based on alumni votes.
As part of Homecom-ing 2015, Campbell held its second TAG Day, or Thank-A-Giver Day, on Oct. 22, when Campbell students, faculty, staff and alumni took to social media to celebrate donor generosity.
There were more than 700 social media posts related to #CampbellTAGDay, and several dozens of those were short videos in which students shared why they were thankful for donors who give to Camp-bell. Campbell Giving nar-rowed the video entries to five finalists. Alumni voted on their favorite among the finalists.
Campbell named to Military Friendly list for third-straight year
Campbell was named to Victory Media’s 2016 Military Friendly Schools list again this month.
Now in its seventh year, the designation is awarded to the top colleges, universities, community colleges and trade schools in the nation that are doing the most to embrace military students and to dedi-cate resources to ensure their success both in the classroom and after graduation. It’s at least the third year in a row Campbell has been named a Military Friendly School.
Victory Military compiled the list based on survey respons-es to questions covering military support on campus, graduation and employ-ment outcomes, and military spouse policies.
Med school professorDr. William Morris dies
The School of Osteopathic Medicine professor Dr. William F. Morris, founding chair of the Department of Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine, died on Nov. 4.
A physician, professor, friend, mentor and advocate for patients, students and the osteopathic profession, Morris came to Campbell in the fall of 2012 and developed the osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) curriculum for the new medical school.
“Our hearts are grieved by his passing, and CUSOM is honored to have a fantastic OMM curriculum as part of his legacy here,” said Dr. John Kauffman, founding dean of Campbell’s medical school. “Dr. Morris’s passion for osteopathic medicine and for teaching was immediately apparent the first time I spoke with him and was a constant throughout his career and tenure with CUSOM.”

By Katlyn ClarkEntertainment Editor
Do you ever feel like you are being bombarded with research papers? You may have questions you want answered, such as: How do I find sources? How do I properly do my pa-per in MLA format? How should I time manage my school assignments? How do I de-stress from the school workload?
Long Nights Against Procrastination is an event hosted by the Wiggins Me-morial Library to help you with those questions. They will have their last session Nov. 16 from 7pm–10pm on the third f loor of the library. Librarians are there to help with any questions you may have. You also get to sign in for a chance to win a door prize.
Sarah Steele, Head of Research and Instruc-tion services, was able to find out about this event through reading some literature where it had originated in Germany. The original idea was for this event to be in one night but Steele thought it would be great to break this event up into four nights. She hopes that students can come and learn how to build their research instead of waiting till the last week of Novem-ber to work on their paper.
“They take full advan-tage, they will visit with a writing coach about form structure of their paper
and then coming over to a librarian for help to find scholarly sources for their paper,” said Steele. “ We have helped a number of people with simple things like citations, but then more complicated things like scholarly articles and websites. They’re one-on-one consultations in the writing center, and also with a librarian, so it is not some big event where you’re just a number. You can come speak with us personally.”
Counseling services has also paired along with the library for this event by having materials to give out to students to help with de-stress, time manage-ment, and more. Tonight’s last and final session will include massage therapists, and students can receive free massages.
The target audience for this event are freshmen and sophomores who are cur-rently in English classes or still trying to figure out how to do research pa-pers. Everyone is welcome to this event for any help they need, and no one is turned away.
Chanel Wilson, first year graduate student in public health and pharmacy, was one of the many students that came to the event.
“I have two papers that I need to work on that are due very soon, so I wanted to get some help with making sure that my ideas were correct as far as find-
ing sources for one of my papers and then for the writing aspect of it, mak-ing sure that it is strong for a graduate student,” said Wilson.
Wilson was able to learn how to navigate sources and was about to go to the writing center to have her paper looked at. She admit-ted that she wasn’t a very strong writer and men-tioned that critiques are not a bad thing.
“The atmosphere is re-ally cool, and they’re very helpful, so I appreciated that,” says Wilson. “If you have a paper, you should come [to Long Nights Against Procrastination].”
In the Writing Center, sophomore Noah Merk-ousko, showed his positiv-ity towards this event as a writing coach.
“Students should come to help me become a better writer. Coaching students helps my writing as much as it helps theirs,” said Merk-ousko. “Students should always come to the writing center for help with papers, but especially next Monday, since there’s free food.”
De-stress and write a great essay

Change is inevitable and seemingly constant as Campbell welcomes an Engineering school, which is set to begin Aug. 2016.
“We had students tour for years that asked for two primary programs, engi-neering and nursing,” said Provost Mark Hammond. “We knew, and Admis-sions knew that we had a lot of students who would come to Campbell to study those programs.”
The idea of an Engineer-ing school was thought of by the former provost and the current provost, who was once the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences.
“We had a lot of studies demonstrate that students would come to Campbell to study Engineering,” Ham-mond said. “We looked at national trends, local trends, and regional trends
to determine whether hav-ing an engineering school will be beneficial to the school and community.”
The process of starting the engineering school was not an easy task, it took over several years for the idea of a school to become
a reality.“Around 2013, me, and
the former provost gave some thought to engineer-ing,” said Hammond. “We then looked into initial studies to show whether there was a need for en-gineering students in the
community; we talked to the board of trustees about starting an engineering school also.”
The engineering cur-riculum will offer robust, “hands-on” projects that will help students apply the math and science concepts they are learning in class.
“The students will have a total of 7 projects their freshman year,” said Dr. Jenna Carpenter, Dean of the Engineering school. “Engineering provides a wide variety of career op-portunities; they can work in industries big and small once they graduate. A small number of students have already applied to the engi-neering school.”
Many of the prospective students of the engineer-ing school are excited about what the engineering school can offer them.
“I love the small class sizes. It allows for more ‘hands-on’ projects. While other schools have lec-
ture halls with 400 other students, reading along in a textbook with a grad student for a professor,” sophomore, prospective en-gineering student, Samuel Thompson said. “We’re building machines with people who have decades of experience in the industry.”
Many of the prospective engineering school students are excited to be able to learn the engineering con-cepts at a smaller school.
“I love the relationships Dr. Carpenter is building with big-tech companies who are visiting our small school,” Thompson said. “These people can com-municate with us more effectively when there are only a few dozen or so people being spoken to at a time. The whole experience feels more intimate than in larger, more established engineering schools.”

4November 9, 2015 The Campbell Times OpinionFive questions with the editorsBy Rachel Rock & Christian HornadayEditor in Chief & Assistant Editor
Editor in chief Rachel Rock is a junior communication studies major with a double concentration in public rela-tions and broadcasting from Mertztown, Pennsylvania. Besides editing the newspaper, she is active in many other places around campus. Rachel works as an admissions ambas-sador, CUFS peer mentor, academic coach and football broadcasting intern.
Assistant Editor LynJosha Russell is a senior communi-cation studies major with a concentration in journalism and a minor in sports busi-ness from Timberlake, North Carolina. Along with her work for the paper, LynJosha stays busy on campus. As a student worker for the Audio/Visual department, a media intern for Campbell Athletics, and co-host of the weekly video show Camel Cam, there is never a dull moment in her life.
Native of Graham, NC, assis-tant editor Christian Hornaday is a sophomore communication studies major with a concentra-tion in journalism. Aside from
her role on the newspaper staff she also writes for ‘The Creek is Rising,’ a blog based on Campbell’s ath-letics; works as a videographer for athletics; and she is a member of Campbell’s Alpha Xi chap-ter of Sigma Alpha Omega.
Favorite music genre/group?
Rachel: “While I listen to all different kinds of music, I am currently on a James Bay kick. I would say my favorite band of all time is The Civil Wars, but back in the day I really loved N*Sync!”
Christian: “Alternative/Indie! Currently, I have “Electric Love” by Borns on repeat!”
LynJosha: “Motown: the good music. I’m not sure what kids these days listen to now. I love The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, and The Jackson 5.”
Favorite place to eat around campus?
R: “Starbucks! I have a caf-feine addiction.”
C: “Creek Coffee! I either order a PSL (if it is in season) or hot/iced coffee. I like to keep it simple.”
L: “My kitchen! I can make a great dish of arroz con pollo. But if I had to choose, it would be Subway, I can have any sub I want plus the cookies are delicious.”
Hardest part of editing?R: “The most difficult
aspect of being an editor is deciding what goes into the paper. Sometimes we need to cut stories for space and it is difficult picking the stories that are most important and appeal-ing to readers.”
C: “I tend to spend more time and effort in editing than I do in writing my own pieces, so when it comes down to my own deadline, I am typi-cally in a rush.”
L: “Balancing work, a social life, setting up interviews, and time for writing and editing is very difficult; everything needs your attention. But in the end, the toughest part is coming up with titles for different articles.”
If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three things would you want with you? Why?
R: “First, I would want to be responsible and bring sunscreen because I would not survive without it. Then, I would have to bring pile of books to read and a friend to keep me company so that I don’t get bored and lonely.”
C: “I would want Pepsi, because I have feelings of withdrawal without it; blueber-ries because they are my go-to fruit; and writing supplies to keep me occupied.”
L: “My cat, because he is my best friend. Plenty of chocolate, because I have an addiction, and water to hydrate because chocolate leaves you thirsty.”
In your free time, what is your favorite thing to do?
R: “With the little free time I have, I like to spend time outside or go shopping.”
C: “While I do not have an abundance of free time, I enjoy movie nights with my friends and trying new restaurants/cof-fee shops with my boyfriend.”
L: “I like to take naps and sing love songs to my cat.”

False allegation against Senator TillisBy Gabe JohnsonStaff Writer
A recent slew of scandals surrounding various high-profile politicians across the United States have emerged, claiming that these politicians are associated with the Ku Klux Klan. Among those ac-cused is our North Carolina Senator, Thom Tillis. Having emerged from a blue-collar family and paying for his own tuition while living in a trailer, Senator Tillis has experienced the hardships of life, and the recent preposter-ous allegation is only a small hurdle for a man dedicated to serving our state and country.
The rumors were released by a group of hacktivists, or activist hackers, who refer to themselves as “Anonymous.” News outlets quickly took up the questionable story. However, the group recently denied releasing the information. According to Newsweek, Anonymous
stated that a rogue member of their organization published the scandal.
One of the accused is Madeline Rogero, the first woman to hold the of-fice of mayor in Knoxville, Tennessee.
“For reasons unfathomable to me or anyone who knows me, my name is on the list,” said Rogero. “Given my back-ground, my interracial family, my public record, and my personal beliefs, this would be hilarious except that it is probably being seen by a lot of people who have no idea who I am.”
There are too many gap-ing holes in these claims. For one, individuals of multiple racial backgrounds are being accused of being members of an organization which is infamous for its white-supremacist ideology. It is doubtful that anyone with such a high profile and diverse background would even begin to consider
joining the organization. The same holds true for
Senator Tillis. A man of integrity, Senator Tillis has served in government since 2004, when he was elected as a county commissioner. In 2006, he was elected to the General Assembly and served until 2014, when he ran successfully for the US Senate and defeated former Senator Kay Hagan. In 2011, Governing magazine called Tillis one of the top seventeen GOP Legislators to Watch based on leadership, ambi-tion, and overall potential.
Senator Tillis has since lived up to this description, spon-soring bills in the Senate that would allow our state to move toward energy independence, positive immigration reform, and economic freedom. Aside from his legislative service, Tillis has volunteered in impoverished areas by serv-ing in soup kitchens and other non-profit organiza-tions. His commitment to
our men and women in uniform is unparalleled. One of many examples is his work on bipartisan legisla-tion that will give veterans free vocational training and higher education.
Given his public service, humble background, and staunch dedication to the people who elected him, it is highly improbable that Senator Tillis would main-tain any affiliation with an organization that holds views contradictory to his own. Clearly, these hackers claim-ing to be activists are simply angry individuals resorting to dirty tactics in an attempt to sully the reputation and character of our Senator. Rather than engaging in behind-closed-doors activ-ity, the group should emerge with a substantive discussion and engage in a constructive dialogue, instead of spread false rumors that distract people from the real issues in America.

Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO Martin Shkreli, recently decided to raise the price of his drug from $13.50 to $750.00 per tablet, a 5,455% price hike. This life saving drug, Daraprim, is listed by the WHO as one of the most important medications.
This scenario portrays only a glimpse of that “other” side of capitalism, one where companies strive to become profit-maximizing monopo-lies, coercively exploiting our life-essentials, and sacrificing public-good to fill their own pockets. In Shkreli’s case, the fact that many will die after not affording treatment is simply a “cost of doing business,” an insignificant means to a profitable end.
Unfortunately, those who identify as “Libertarians” fail
to acknowledge this malicious side of capitalism, preferring to stick to the utopian vision that free-markets work perfectly for everyone. Libertarian rhetoric is fraught with the “either, or” fallacy that free-markets benefit us, while governments are simply forces of “tyranny” and “coercion.” Libertarianism presents us with this false choice: embrace capitalism to its extreme, or suffer under Communism. In fact, any detractors of Libertarianism are simply shunned as “Communists” or “socialists,” since Libertarians’ black-and-white world view doesn’t allow for any moderate stances in between.
In reality, politics and economics are much more complicated than picking and choosing one radical system over the other, Libertarianism or Communism. History and common sense show that
neither of these are practical. While Communism caused much suffering, capitalism has also left its marks throughout history and today as a source of suffering, income disparity, poverty, and sacrifice of public-good in pursuit of profits. Pure capitalism is social-Darwinism, or socioeconomic “survival of the fittest;” while highly ef-ficient, it is cruel.
So far, what has worked is a mixed economy; capitalism managed with governmental regulations. Armed with the productivity of capitalism, governments step in to add fairness and social-safety-nets for the disadvantaged. Albeit its efficiency, capitalism does leave the poor man starving to death, and that’s where governments intervene.
Libertarians scoff at this vital government-aid, calling it “wealth redistribution” and “legalized blunder.” Some call
for private charities instead, although these charities aren’t enough, and welfare arose from a dire need. Others, indoc-trinated by Ayn Rand, don’t concern themselves with the plight of the disadvantaged, hailing greed instead as the utmost ethical-standard.
Admittedly, government aid could be disastrous if blown out of proportion, creating burdens on taxpayers and incentives for free riders. However, the solution isn’t the Libertarian ap-proach of complete annihilation of welfare and government pro-grams. The practical approach is a balance, where just enough aid is provided as needed.
Ironically, although the US spends the most in the world on military, and more than the next five countries combined, it is government investments in healthcare, education, and welfare that anger Libertarians.
Market-failures are
ubiquitous, and govern-ments often intervened to ameliorate crises.
When capitalism caused environmental neglect and pol-lution, governments responded with carbon-taxing and en-vironment programs. When capitalism caused poverty and unaffordable healthcare and education, governments responded with welfare and subsidies. When capitalism gave us harmful drugs, governments responded with anti-drug legis-lation. When capitalism caused economic depressions/reces-sions, governments responded with fiscal and monetary poli-cies. When capitalism caused monopolies, governments responded with price-gouging and anti-trust laws to promote competition, and ensure we don’t pay extravagant amounts for essentials because an un-checked company decided to abuse its power.
Libertarianism: an impractical utopian ideology
Why the Black Lives Matter movement needs to changeBy Dylan LordStaff Writer
In the past several years, the United States has been bom-barded with news coverage related to the deaths of young black men at the hands of law-enforcement. The deaths of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Freddie Gray, Walter Scott and various others have ignited a hotbed of racial tension in the country.
One of the results of this tension is the Black Lives Matter movement, purposed to campaign against and stop violence against black people, and it has failed in that regard. That statement may be inflammatory, but looking at the facts, it holds truth; if the BLM wants to fulfill its stated purpose, some drastic changes need to take place.
Over the course of the move-ment’s existence, every protest they have held focused on black deaths by police. Some protests have taken on larger concepts like racial injustice and racial inequality, but the majority of protests focus on these deaths. That’s not to take away from them; any fatali-ties involving police should be thoroughly investigated for any sort of wrongdoing, as in the
cases of Eric Garner and Walter Scott. However, these protests ignore one glaring issue: the fact that over 90 percent of black deaths in the United States are from black-on-black crime. This has caused some to criti-cize the movement for its lack of attention to this issue, some of whom happen to be black.
Peggy Hubbard, a Navy vet-eran and mother, posted a video in August criticizing the move-ment for focusing on “police shooting black criminals” rather than “crimes committed by the individual’s”; her post was in response to the shooting death of a black girl named Jamya Bolden, who was killed in her own home. The man charged with the crime, 21 year old De’Eris Brown, is black.
Richard Sherman, a player for the Seattle Seahawks, criticized the movement for not focusing on the issue of black-on-black crime, relating to the murder of one friend of his by two black men, and how no one was cry-ing “black lives matter” then.
The other aspect that needs to be addressed is the appar-ent rioting that BLM activists seem to take. In the wake of the Ferguson shootings, the first protests that took place quickly became riots, with many stores being vandalized and robbed,
and this sort of violent rioting being defended by the BLM.
DeRay McKesson, a BLM activist hired by Yale to conduct a lecture, said that the violent aspect of looting is just a con-struct of the ruling class, and that it has “tactical benefits.”
The biggest change that needs to be made is for the BLM to shift its focus. Black deaths resulting from law-en-forcement confrontation should be heavily investigated; put-ting sole attention on this issue only allows the overwhelm-ing amount of black-on-black murder and the socioeco-nomic problems that causes it to continue.
Instead of just protesting, take direct action. Create fundraisers, charities and schol-arships to help black children from low-income families to stay in school and go to college. Create youth centers and groups to help children who may come from troubled families, and set up adoptions for children who may need a stable home. The BLM has great potential, but staying with their current focus and tactics will force it to remain a radical group that promotes violent looting and solves none of the problems it wishes to bring to light.

my own money,” said Hall. “I worked for two years to save it, and spent it.”
Like many, Hall was at-tracted to Campbell for multiple reasons, namely its religious mis-sion and Baptist affiliation.
“I grew up in a Baptist home, and my minister told us about Campbell,” said Hall. “It was friendly, and I was just perfectly happy. I felt like I was where I wanted to be and where I needed to be.”
While Campbell’s welcoming feel has remained to this day, so has its policy of open house.
“We had open house in the girl’s dorm. The boys were invited to come over and Ms. Bouldin was there; she was our house mother,” said Hall. “The boys came over and we could sit in the parlor and talk, sit on the steps and talk, walk around in front of the dorm and talk, but we couldn’t go far so Ms. Bouldin could keep her eagle eyes on us. She did not think we could get away with much.”
Even with these strict rules, Hall had no trouble finding love in the Creek.
“For some reason a Method-ist got mixed in with all those Baptists and I happened to meet
[him],” said Hall. “He was a handsome fellow with really deep brown eyes. And he was a little farm boy from a tobacco farm, and I was a little farm girl from a cotton farm, so we made a pretty good match.”
Catherine Cheek met Cullen Hall within the halls of Camp-bell, and they shared their first kiss on the steps of Campbell’s Library after graduation. Nine years later on Aug. 21, 1943, the two were married.
Hall finished her undergradu-ate degree in primary education at East Carolina Teachers Col-lege, now ECU. Cullen finished his undergraduate degree at Wake Forest, then went on to Vanderbilt University to get his medical degree, and became an OB/GYN.
After Hall donated in honor of her husband, the birthing center in the School of Osteo-pathic Medicine was named for the Hall family. In 2013, Hall had the chance to visit Camp-bell and see the birthing center.
“I am proud; I am glad to see Campbell advancing and going ahead,” said Hall. “You can’t stand still in anything, you’ve got to get some traction and you’ve got to do something.”

better than what it could have been somewhere else.”
Having the tournament at Campbell also gives the team home-court advantage, mean-ing more Campbell fans will be able to come out.
“Three years ago, I never thought this would happen,” said senior Casey Perrin. “This brings us that much closer to winning. I think this will draw in even more fans. What will make things better is having a winning season to go into.”
Campbell has hosted tour-naments like softball before, but an event this big will bring in more opportunities for Campbell to host many more.
“Baseball should be here, but there are some facilities that need more work done,” Roller said. “Once the conference sees how much work there is
being put in, things will defi-nitely change.”
Whether Campbell was hosting or not, Men’s Basket-ball’s goal was to earn a bye in the tournament, meaning to rank in the Top 5.
“I’m excited about the op-portunity to coach our team this year,” McGeehan said. “I feel like the team will be even better this season. I think showing the guys the amazing commitment that the univer-sity has to have this even hap-pen for us, lets the guys know that they can’t have any off days when everyone is doing so much for you.”
With basketball season start-ing up Nov. 13, this gives the team the motivation they need to excel in the regular season.

Chanticleers by a score of 2-0. Clark scored both goals for the Fighting Camels.
With just 10 seconds remaining in the first half, freshman Shannon Wratchford played a cross to a charging Clark. Clark vol-leyed the ball, and somehow got it over the outstretched glove of the Coastal Carolina goalkeeper.
In the 62nd minute, Clark scored again, cementing Campbell’s lead. All the Camels had to do was hold off the increasingly aggres-sive Chanticleer attack for the remainder of the match. Senior goalkeeper Samantha Lawson helped that cause, with five of her eight saves coming in the final 20 min-utes of play.
“We just played a very good game. The two goals we scored were definite quality,” head coach Stuart Horne told GoCamels.com following the semifinal match. “It was just an overall really good team performance.”
Clark led the Fighting Camels in goals (17), as-sists (10), points (44), and shots (105). Wratchford and junior Payton Ormsby finished with 5 goals apiece. The two senior goalkeepers, Lawson and Alexis Connors, finished with 31 and 54 saves, respectively.
Due to her prolific of-fensive skills, Clark became the first player in Campbell
women’s soccer history to earn Big South Attacking Player of the Year.
Three players made the all-tournament team, includ-ing Clark. Joining her were fellow seniors, Lawson and Cydney Smith.
Six players earned all-conference honors. Clark and Ormsby made first-team all-conference, while both Wratchford and Connors earned a spot on the honor-able mention all-conference team. Wratchford and Anna Brantley repre-sented Campbell on the all-freshman team and junior Kine Thorsvik was named to the Big South All-Academic team.
Campbell finished its season with a 14-7-0 overall record and a 7-3-0 confer-ence record.

The atmosphere in Turner Auditorium was filled with high energy and excitement as bands from around North Carolina competed in Campbell University’s Battle of the Bands on Thursday night. Five bands competed in the event, which lasted from 8–10 p.m., for a chance to win a $100 dollar gift card and tickets to Campbell’s spring concert.
The acts were diverse and varied, from one-man acoustic performers, to heavy metal. The first band to perform was a heavy metal act called Strength Betrayed, and they started the night off with a bang. The audience got into the rhythm of the music as the band continued, clapping along and cheering encour-agement from their seats.
The night’s theme was classic rock, with par-ticipants covering rock songs, or dressing up like
their favorite classic rock performers. Some of the bands were local, but Ap-palachian State University student RJ Bergman per-formed a solo acoustic act, which was welcomed by the audience.
The winners of the night were the Cody Hartley Band, who performed a cover of “Don’t Stop Be-lieving’ by Journey, with encouraged audience par-ticipation. The entire audi-ence stood and sang along, and the energy in the room
was at a high. Hartley and his fellow band mem-bers, including Campbell University students, gave thanks to God for allowing them to perform, and sang NEEDTOBREATHE’s song “Multiplied” as praise.
The last band to play was the Sherman Neckties, and they channeled an early 2000s pop punk sound, which was unlike anything performed thus far in the evening. The band also

The second annual Miss Campbell pageant, hosted by Sigma Alpha Omega, crowned Sue Ann Forrest as new reigning queen of Campbell University on Saturday night.
Not only was the pageant a fun event for competitors and audience alike, but the sorority dedicated half of
all proceeds to SAO’s phi-lanthropy, Ovarian Cancer Awareness. The emcee, vice president for admissions Jason Hall, brought the philanthro-py to the audience’s attention, informing them where their ticket funds would be making an impact.
The pageant began at 7 p.m., and all nine contes-tants performed an opening number to “I Had the Time of My Life” by Bill Medley
and Jennifer Warnes. Hall introduced each contestant, before sending them offstage to change for the “Campbell Wear” section of the night.
Each contestant modeled her Campbell spirit attire, showing what she would wear to a Campbell sporting event, club meeting, or in the classroom. They posed for the audience and the six judges, who were representa-tives from around the Buies
Creek area. Next were the talent competition and the evening gown portions of the night. The contestants wowed the audience with their skills in song, dance, speech. Additionally, there were a couple of unusual acts including Heather Heath, a senior pre-pharmacy major, demonstrating physics experi-ments, and Razeen Shepard,

Lottie Dottie: Local jewelry for the classy camelBy Kaitlyn DixonStaff Writer
Suzanne Royal, the creator of Lottie Dottie custom and Heirloom Jewelry, has come a very long way with her jewelry. Royal has been in the jewelry business for nearly 15 years. It all began when her son, Chess, became interested in being in the business world.
Chess was homeschooled by Royal and was taught the ins and outs of owning a busi-ness through working in our local Creek Coffee located on campus in the same shopping center as Subway, and Impressa Boutique. Not only do they sell a wide variety of coffee, but the ideas of Royal’s Campbell
jewelry is sold in there as well.Royal has had a part in
making the Campbell Camel earrings, but the acrylic jewelry that is found in Creek Coffee is custom made for her, and sold. Royal felt that there was not enough Campbell jew-elry therefore, decided to have it made and sold at Chess’s business, which is in no better place than on the outskirts of Campbell’s campus.
“I frequently go by Creek Coffee to pick up one of my favorites, the Frozen Creek Mocha. I have seen the jewelry in there and thought that it was not only a great idea to have other items being sold at the coffee house, but most impor-tantly Campbell jewelry,” said
Lesley Rogers, a sophomore Trust and Wealth Management major. “There is not enough ‘Camel’ jewelry sold really any-where, so we could definitely use some to accessorize at the Campbell sporting events.”
Not only is the jewelry seen in Creek Coffee, but it is some-times featured at the Fighting Camels football games, and hopefully at the upcoming basketball games.
Lottie Dottie custom jewelry can also be found at private jewelry shows, as well as Ladybugs in the Attic which is located in Dunn, NC. The jewelry seen in Ladybugs in the Attic is vintage, but recreated to make it look more like modern jewelry seen today.

The art of dining eti-quette seems to be all but lost, especially on a college campus. As we enter the real world, proper manners at the dinner table can be a useful asset in our arsenal of professionalism. The Busi-ness school gave students the opportunity to practice these skills last Tuesday night during their annual business etiquette presentation.
The program was facilitat-ed by Campbell alumni Kim Snow, who is a proficient in business etiquette. She explained proper behavior to students while they practiced those skills in real time.
The presentation described etiquette that would seem like common sense: Don’t talk with a mouth full, watch what you say, and place your napkin in your lap. Other rules can be a bit more pes-tering but you should have a basic understanding of them nonetheless.
“I find etiquette is impor-tant in a business setting. You wouldn’t want your clients, peers, or employers to think you are unprofes-sional because you lack proper manners,” said Brit-tany Hilbourn, a senior marketing major.
At your disposal, here are a couple of basic guide-lines that will help you
avoid embarrassment in social environments, formal or non-formal.
Do1. Dress to impress. It may
sound superficial, but the way you look makes a huge impression on future employ-ers. That being said, invest-ing in a nice suit or dress may pay off tenfold. Cristina Jacqueline, a third year biol-ogy major, thinks that, ”It is important to look presentable and know how to act in all settings; it’s helpful to even take classes on it. I learned from a very young age table etiquette and it had taught me how to behave properly in any situation.”
2. Wait until everyone is served before you start eat-ing. It would be rude to start eating before the host, so it is best to wait until everyone at the table has a plate.
3. Take small bites. Cut your meats into a couple pieces at a time. Kim Snow advises that it is best to “eat around your plate, not one food at a time. Also, Take it slow; you don’t always have to seem like you’re in such a hurry to get through a meal.”
4. Place your utensils in the middle of the plate when finished. Do not place used utensils back onto the table.
Don’t1. Cell phones: please put
them away. Somehow the
notion that it is acceptable to text or take phone calls while dining out is common with people our age. Keep in mind you don’t always need your phone. Try looking at the person you’re eating with and actually engage in face-to-face conversation. Snow insists, “Phones are a big issue for students. Do not an-swer the phone, do not text, just don’t bring it.”
2. Keep your elbows off of the table. Sitting upright can not only help prevent slouch-ing but can also diminish the desire to place elbows on the dinner table.
3. Reach for items. Reach-ing for items like salt and pepper is considered rude when you have to extend arms across another person. Instead, ask politely for things to be passed to you. Kim Snow also recommends passing both the salt and pepper at the same time.
If you are ever unsure of how to act in a certain situ-ation, watch the people sur-rounding you and play follow the leader. Snow empha-sized that one should come prepared for any event for good measure. “Be prepared. Know what kind of environ-ment you’re stepping into. Be prepared for light, pleas-ant conversation, and try to avoid controversial topics.”
In case you forgot your table manners

similar to home. American food doesn’t seem to be as fresh as back home [Brisbane, Australia], and Subway is definitely fresher.
Q: What is your favorite type of music that you listen to and why?
I think I like more general music, like on the radio, but I don’t have any preferences. Louise [Latorre] and I always lis-ten to music in the van together. It is really just like the radio hits that I enjoy listening to.
Q: What is your favorite televi-sion show?
I am a Kardashian fan, so I do Keeping Up With The Kardashians. One of my roommates is trying to get me into some other television
shows, so we will see. Law and Order SVU is one of my favorites recently.

a junior pre-pharmacy major, performing an elaborate jump rope routine.
Last was the interview ques-tion, and each contestant was asked a question to demon-strate their quick thinking. These questions ranged from somewhat humorous (What are you looking for in a man?), to more political in nature (Do you think America is ready for a female presi-dent?) but each girl answered with grace.
In the end, all nine girls were given a medallion to symbolize their participation in the competition. Some special awards were also Emily Phipps, a freshman math major who performed a clogging routine to “Hand Jive,” was presented with the talent award. Elise Karriker, a freshman from Greenville, North Carolina, earned the
Miss Campbell Spirit Award. Sue Ann Forrest, a senior Communications and English double major, received both the interview reward and the Miss Congeniality award, and Halee Ann Simpson, a sophomore from Fayetteville, North Carolina, received the award for most sponsor-ship money raised.
No matter who won Miss Campbell, it was clear that the girls were brought closer together by the experience.
“Everyone has been so nice,” said Sue Ann Forrest. “Every-one has been very friendly, sharing their things, if I ask for a bobby pin there will be nine girls offering me a whole handful.”
After the plaques were awarded, it was time to crown Miss Campbell University 2016. Drawing out the sus-pense, Hall read the names
of the first, second, and third runners up. Halee Simpson was the third place runner up and presented with an orange trophy. Taking the spot next to her as the second place runner up was Elise Karriker, and Emily Phipps was the first runner up.
Each girl waited with baited breath for Miss Campbell 2016 to be finally announced, and the title was presented to Sue Ann Forrest. Chelsey Bennet presented Forrest with her crown and sash, relin-quishing her title.
“Take a breath, this year is about to be a whirlwind,” Bennet advised Forrest in her final speech as Miss Camp-bell. “Take time to enjoy every minute, it’ll be over before you know it! Represent Campbell to the best of your abilities and never forget how valuable you are to the university.”

floor. I also believe that we have the potential to compete with anyone, so we really are our own biggest obstacle.”
So far the practices have been a learning experience and foundation on building stronger team chemistry.
“The team chemistry is good and can get better. It’s the best since I have been here, and really feel like the
tournament in Europe we participated in over the sum-mer brought the players closer together,” said McGeehan. “Also, we have a hand full of vocal leaders on this roster.”
It seems as though the team has worked hard and came together as one cohesive unit for the same goal. Play-ers have built trust in their coaches and teammates and
still had fun together.Although some players have
certain roles on the team, they still seek out ways to improve and help the team.
“The main things I have learned from Casey Per-rin was to never second guess myself, and from Troy Harper I learned to always drive strong,” said Hamer. “Ray taught me patience,
and Clemons taught me to shoot instead of always driving to the basketball. It’s good to have all these point-ers to help me coming from people that play the same position because we see the game differently.”
Expectations are high for the men’s basketball team and they have a confidence bounce due to the 4-0 record
in the Europe tournament.“I expect us to be a good
team on both ends of the floor, more importantly on the defensive end,” said Hammer. “If we score, we might win. If they never score, then we never lose; the defense wins.”

gave out tee shirts to stu-dents after the show, and was available for students to chat with for a few minutes.
Before the Battle of the Bands, Campbell’s Campus Activities Board handed out coupons for free bean-ies, which students could redeem at the end of the show. The beanies were gray, with “Battle of the Bands” emblazoned across the front. As students left
the event that night, a sea of gray beanies and satis-fied faces spilled out of Turner Auditorium.
“I loved the Battle of the Bands,” said freshman graphic design major Dia Huth. “I hope that we do it again, it was a great event.”
This is Campbell Univer-sity’s eighth annual Battle of the Bands, but if student feedback is any indication, it will not be their last.

Freshman Lawrence Kip-koech set the new Big South men’s 8K meet record as he and the Campbell men’s cross country team claimed the 2015 Big South Confer-ence championship Saturday Oct. 31at the Milliken Center. The team victory was the first cross country champion-ship for the men since 1998 when they won the Atlantic Sun Championship.
Last-minute INT stops Campbell comeback in SD
SAN DIEGO, CA – Down 31-27 and looking for the go-ahead score, Campbell held a first and goal with 1:10 re-maining after a San Diego per-sonal foul, but Jamal Agnew intercepted Kameron Bryant’s pass to preserve the Torero lead and extend their home Pioneer Football League win-ning streak to 22 games.
Campbell dipped to 5-5 on the season and 3-4 in PFL play.
Campbell forced a USD punt with 2:20 on the clock, with Greg Milhouse coming up with a sack on third and eight from the 50 yard line. The Camels picked up first downs on its first three plays of the critical drive, with Bryant complet-ing a 10 yard pass to Ben Bolling and a 26 yard strike to Andre Davis, also running for a 12 yard gain before the face mask call put the Camels inside the USD 10.
Campbell held a slim 368-332 advantage in total offense, led by a season-high 306 yards passing from Bryant, who completed 20-of-36 passes with a touchdown and an interception in the loss.

Nadine White, a junior on the Campbell women’s golf team, has earned the Big South Conference Women’s Golfer of the Week honor twice this season. At the Fighting Camel Fall Classic on Oct. 20, White finished as the runner-up for the second-straight year. White took some time to talk more about herself and life off the course with the Campbell Times recently:
Q: With golf being a mental sport, how do you prepare your-self for a round?
I think getting enough sleep is important, and you aren’t always there on the course. You switch on and off be-tween shots. You sometimes talk to your playing partners or you can talk to your coach, or take time to eat. I am not always mentally there on the golf course, but I think when you get to your ball, is the time when you switch on. After your shot, then you switch off.
Q: What professional golfers do you idolize?
I think being Australian, the Australian golfers like Karrie Webb and Adam Scott were people I looked up to while I was playing and growing up. They came and played over here, which is something I want to do.
Q: What is your favorite place to eat on campus and why?

The Campbell men’s basketball season will tip off Nov. 13 in Gore Arena at 8:15 p.m. as the Fighting Camels will face Montreat College.
“I can’t believe the season is already here; it seems as though October has flew by us very quickly, but I feel like we have been quite anxious
to play since coming back from the Europe tourna-ment,” said junior guard Kyre’ Hamer. “I really think this year is our year, but we still have a few minor adjust-ments to make as a team.”
“As a team, I expect them to compete hard every night to put us in better situations to win,” said head coach Kev-in McGeehan. “This team is as close to what I had envi-sioned us to be, and really
just hope we finish the season strong in the upper half of the Big South Conference.”
“I don’t look at the preseason and early non-conference games as noth-ing, because they are good opportunities to win, learn more about the team and its style of play, and evaluate the team to make adjustments before conference starts,” said McGeehan.
“As a freshman, much may
not be expected of me, but I look to come in and keep up the intensity and consis-tency,” said freshman guard Chris Clemons. “I really just want to do whatever it takes to contribute to my team winning the BSC, and a trip to the NCAA tourna-ment, whether it be scoring, rebounding, or playing great on the defensive end of the
