I have realized that we are professionally stronger as a team today because of my physical weakness these last two months.
-President Briggs In January of this year, I experienced some minor eye symptoms (double-vision and a droopy eyelid) that all but disappeared by mid-July. In mid-August, my MG symptoms returned in a generalized form, involving rapid muscle fatigue and motor weakness, Briggs told faculty and staff. Currently, day-to-day challenges center on my arms, hands and upper legs, whereas complications in the opening weeks of school involved more my voice, eyes and general fatigue.
wont see him as often. Heida added, however, that Briggs has already been working with this condition for two months, which is indicative of what things will continue to look like. If you havent seen much difference in how the college has been functioning since (the middle of August), and how he has been interacting since then, its a good indication we still have his leadership, his presence and hell do what he can, Heida said.

Berry alumnus Stephen J. Cage (74) has pledged $2.5 million to kick off fundraising for construction of the new football stadium. Cage, also the major benefactor of the Cage Center, announced his donation at the Board of Trustees meeting Saturday, Oct. 20. According to a press release from the office of public relations, Cage has named the stadium Valhalla after the Great Hall of Viking warriors according to Norse mythology. Dean of Students Debbie Heida said she will be working with the Student Government Association (SGA) to coordinate an effort to rename the Valhalla meal area in Krannert. Were planning on creating a contest for students to come up with a new name for the current Valhalla, Heida said. The planned stadium will seat 1,200 and will include concessions, viewing and press boxes. The stadium will also feature Clark Track, named for Board of Trustees member and alumnus Bert Clark (82), who has combined his donations with fellow board member and alumnus Roger Lusby (79), in anticipation of adding a track and field team in the future. Heida said there are plans to start a track and field team in fall 2014.
Bert Clark, Roger Lusby, Victor and Steve Cage gather in front of the Cage Center after announcing their donations to the stadium and track. The date that construction will begin will be determined after the location for the stadium is finalized and more donations are secured. The construction project will also include a renovation of Richards Gymnasium into a football practice field house with a weightroom, locker rooms and a neighboring practice field.

CONTINUED FROM PG.1 Briggs agreed that the effects of his MG have been minimal this fall. Ive been able to attend most events as I would normally. The biggest differences so far are probably that I dont walk across/ around campus as much as I would usually, and Ive been eating fewer lunches in D-Hall this fall, Briggs said. I am not as spontaneous or spur of the moment as Id like to be, but thats a small inconvenience. Briggs said his dealings with MG have been learning experiences for him. Its not something you would choose for yourself, and certainly not for anyone else, Briggs said. At the same time, Im learning things I could not, or would not, learn otherwise. In a profound and direct way, it has made me acutely aware of all the ordinary things that we take for granted on a daily, hourly basis. He also said that his eyes have been opened to things that people might not typically notice. We have so much to be grateful for that we simply overlook because things come to us so easily and naturally, Briggs said. When its not as easy and things move slower, you can

sometimes also see more clearly. Briggs added that this lesson is biblical. As a Christian, I have known that this truth and this paradox is at the heart of Jesus gospel/teachingmeaning the message of the poor in spirit and humble in heart and being last and dead to yourself, and Jesus emptying himself in Philippians 2, Briggs said. Now Im coming to taste this gospel paradox and absorb it in new ways. Thus, my current physical weakness is strengthening me spiritually, relationally and professionally. Heida said the colleges response to Briggs announcement should be support and prayer. Berry should respond as Berry always responds to someone who needs our support, and I think they will, Heida said. This is a place that cares about people who are part of the Berry family. In agreement with Heida, Chair of the Faculty Assembly and Associate Professor of Psychology Alan Hughes said the faculty wish Briggs the best and a quick recovery. The faculty appreciate the presidents willingness to openly share with the college community something that personally must be very difficult, Hughes said. Our thoughts are with him and his family during what is certainly a very difficult time. Student Government Association President Jacob Stubbs also offered his support for Briggs. SGA and the student body wish President Briggs a quick recovery and will keep him in our thoughts and prayers, Stubbs said. Chair of the Berry Board of Trustees and Berry alumna (74) Karen Holley Horrell said the Board wishes to let Dr. Briggs, his leadership team and the entire campus know of (the Boards) confidence and support. She also said Berry can be thankful for the quality of Berrys leaders. Berry College is fortunate to have strong leadership in place, Horrell said. The Berry community can feel gratitude for (Briggs) courage and open communications in sharing the news as he takes the best interests of Berry to heart. Strong leaders lead through others, and the college can also be grateful that Dr. Briggs has a talented, committed and supportive leadership team working with him. Briggs said he and his wife Brenda have already experienced the support of many.

HIV/AIDS
CONTINUED FROM PG.1 This years HIV/AIDS Awareness Week was also different from those in the past because of its collaboration with the Rome community. BSA worked alongside the AIDS Resource Council (ARC) in Rome for their Awareness Week programs. On the first day of the Awareness Week, BSA began its fundraising. During the week we were raising money for the AIDS Research Council here in Rome, Pelletier said. We wanted to keep it local this year. So we did a bake sale and raised money on Wednesday. BSA Secretary and junior Chardonnay Copeland described the fundraising and educational objectives and efforts of Berrys Awareness Week. Our goal this week was to raise money for the AIDS Resource Council here in Rome, Copeland said. We decided to do something here at Berry to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS, and so we coordinated with the ARC to have speakers come to just spread awareness, to get it on peoples minds. Copeland said the ARC orators who came on Oct. 16 spoke about HIV and AIDS and its introduction in the United States 30 years ago. They also described the purpose of the ARC and provided students with information on locations to be tested for HIV and AIDS. The following Thursday, Oct. 18, the BSA showed the film, The Announcement, a documentary about NBA player Magic Johnsons announcement in 1991 that he had contracted HIV. Friday, Oct. 19 was another fundraising effort, the Revel in Red dance. The Red Walk on Saturday, Oct. 20 was the capstone for Awareness Week, and all week long the BSA accepted donations. Pelletier said of the Red Walk, We didnt have as many (attendees) as we would like, because I dont think we did a very good job advertising it. We did it up at Ford Gym, and we had a couple people from the community come We just set up some tables in the gym. LISTEN, they had a table, the Peer Educators had a table and a representative from the ARC had a table. They had a bunch of information about HIV and AIDS. We had a DJ There was food, and people made donations. Pelletier was not the only BSA member that noticed a small number of attendees during the Awareness Week. BSAs advisor, Director of the Dean of Students Office Tasha Toy, also noted, The turnout was very moderate. Copeland said the number of participants throughout the week could have been better. But it was a learning experience. We know what to do for next yearThis year, it was our first time, so turnout wasnt exactly what we expected. But the main goal was to raise money, and thats what we did. From Wednesday to Saturday, the BSA raised a total of $182, Copeland said. Copeland also mentioned that in future years, the BSA hopes to involve Berry and the local community more in its AIDS Awareness Week.

Whats the most important aspect you consider when choosing who to vote for?
Dear Ms. Turnbuckle, So Ive noticed that you always end your letters with food-related items. I was wondering if you could give me some food-related advice. You see, I have a friend that seems to be having a really tough time recently. I am not sure how to comfort her and all I can think to do is give her some comfort food to make her feel better. Food always makes people happy, right? What do you think would be the perfect food item to make for my friend? If I shouldnt make her food, what should I do for her? I just want her to feel better! Sincerely, A Comforting Companion Dear Comforting Companion, You have a sweet, caring spirit, child. More people in this world ought to have friends like you. That being said, the first piece of advice Ill give you is not to do what my dear niece Penelope did for a friend of hers who seemed to be feeling similarly to your friend: She sent her friend a fruit basket, which is all well and goodif the intended recipient of the fruit basket is in town. As it were, her friend had fled her home in her desperation and was gone visiting distant family for a month. When her friend returned, she found a moldy, rotted, insect-infested mess of a basket sitting on her front porch. Needless to say, it didnt make her feel any better. Lesson learned: Think through the logistics before you act. Now, as to what to do for your friend: as much as I love food, edible goodies may not be the answer. I know when Im feeling downtrodden, I eat far less than usual. You might try sending her something else, such as a nice, soft puppy, a hot air balloon for her to escape or her favorite celebrity, in the flesh. I once orchestrated the (temporary, of course) kidnapping of Harrison Ford to cheer up one of my girl friends. It worked! Hugs and (just this once) puppies, Ms. Turnbuckle

BARACK OBAMA

Democrat
Obama has what many would consider the ultimate American story. His parents divorced after only a few years of marriage and he was raised with help from his grandparents. The 44th president worked his way through college like many of todays students with the help of scholarships and student loans. He graduated from Columbia University in 1983 with a degree in political science. Obama spent a few years working with a group of churches in Chicago to rebuild low-income communities as a result of the closure of local steel plants. After these years working with the church, Obama enrolled in Harvard Law School in 1988. After graduating in 1991, Obama taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago. Obama was elected to the Illinois State Senate in 1996 where he passed a major ethics reform for the first time in 25 years, cut taxes for working families and expanded health care for children and their parents. 2004 marked his election to the U.S. Senate, and in 2008, he was elected the first black president of the United States.

With a father who ran for president in 1968, was governor of Michigan from 1963 to 1969 and was the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development from 1969 to 1973, Mitt Romney has been connected to politics for his entire life. He graduated from Brigham Young University in 1971 and continued his education to earn a joint M.B.A./J.D. from Harvard University in 1975. Romney spent 1978-1984 as Vice President at Bain & Company, a leading management consulting firm. In 1984, Romney founded and led Bain Capital, which is currently one of Americas most successful capital and investment firms.

Romney was also president of the organizing committee for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City in order to bring the games back to financial stability. While serving as governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007, Romney built a state health reform law requiring residents to get a minimum of insurance coverage.

The laughter, gasps and applause that filled Krannert Ballroom were no illusion as KCAB put on a magical event on Friday, Oct. 19. Approximately 200 people appeared to see the professional illusionist, Jason Michaels, who was brought to Berry by KCAB. Sophomore KCAB member Katie Sisk hoped to add some variety into their events. Its something you dont see everywhere, Sisk said Michaels entertained the audience with a variety of magic, illusions, sleight of hand and even humor. I really enjoyed the performance. He really combined comedy and magic really well, Sisk said. Michaels began with smaller illusions like card tricks, putting a newspaper he ripped to pieces back together and making a table float in midair. His tricks grew in intensity as the show went on, ending with Michaels escaping from a straightjacket right in front of the audience. One of his most popular tricks was called Balls and Bells when Michaels dressed as a Shakespearean hustler complete with ruffled shirt and velvet hat. Junior Troy Mulder said it was his favorite trick because he could not
figure it out. for David Blaine, Mulder said. For those who wanted to know more about how to actually perform a trick, Michaels taught the audience how to turn a scarf into an egg. Magic has been a part of Michaels life starting when his grandfather would perform little tricks for him when he was younger. Michaels has been performing illusions for 21 years, ever since he walked into a magic shop in high school. Seeing the tricks up close blew my mind. At that very moment I thought Id have to share this feeling with other people, Michaels said. Audience participation played a key role in Michaels performance, and he said that Berry students were prepared for that role. The audience tonight was very expressive and ready to respond. They were awesome. Michaels said. Junior Jodie Tatum was one of the students who helped Michaels with his performances. Tatum said she enjoyed the performance and would return again. I would go back even if they were the same tricks. I might be able to catch something I didnt see the first time, Tatum said. WILL MILLER, Staff Photographer Mulder also agreed that he would come to the illusionIllusionist Jason Michaels entertains the crowd at the ist event again. It was entertaining.

Associate professor of Spanish Jen Correy reads for We Will Rise, giving voice to oppressed Afghan women. tance stories are even less heard as we are more comfortable thinking of women as victims I hope the individuals [who saw the play] can see the women as powerful.
The actors met only a handful of times so they could learn the material while still maintaining the right atmosphere. We rehearsed three times, but the show was meant to be done informally like in ones living room because women were not often allowed in public spaces [under the Taliban], said Dubyak. I think it was very appropriate that it was more organic and informal. I dont think it wouldve had the same impact if it was highly staged or very formal. Freshman Tanai Cannon felt We Will Rise was a visceral and informative experience. I thought it was very eye opening and really raw as far as human emotions I always knew [the Afghan women] had a strong culture, but the extent of the hardships they went through was shocking, she said. Freshman Kaycee Culpepper believed the play brought a global perspective to the rights of women. It gave a good example of the different lives women lead in other cultures, Culpepper said. The way in which these women faced oppression and dealt with it was inspiring. It made me appreciate all the privileges I have. Culpepper went on to say that, though the play specifically dealt with the lives of women under the Taliban, the themes it expressed were universal and essential to the human experience. The play highlighted the strength and courage of women everywhere, Culpepper said. It revealed things I did not know while also reinforcing my belief in the dignity of mankind. I am very fortunate to have seen it.

The Lady Vikings prepare a shot delivered by their opponent at home in a previous game. The Lady Vikings are now 19-5 (13-1 in conference play), and are the top-seeded team in the Southern Athletic Association Conference. They will host the conference tournament Nov. 2, 3 and 4.
Vikings midfielder Leo Gutierrez takes the ball downfield in a game earlier in the season. Possession of the ball has not been the problem for the Vikings this year, but rather capitalizing when in control of the ball. The Vikings are 11-3-1. Were finally starting to learn to play with each other and our chemistry is really reflecting on the field. Freshman midfielder Tyler Jennings has been enjoying his time on the team. Playing on this team has been a fantastic experience, Jennings said. Im looking forward to going out there on Saturday and playing tough and getting our final win. Last year the Vikings beat Oglethorpe 1-0. If we win this Saturday then we guarantee a second or first place in our conference, Hajmurad said. This game will be the determining factor of where we are seeded in conference play. The Vikings will be playing Saturday, Oct. 27 at 1 p.m. against Oglethorpe. This will be the senior night for both the men and womens soccer teams. The women will be playing against Oglethorpe on Saturday, Oct. 27 at 3 p.m.
