NATIONAL FRATERNITY
By Caleb Bell Editor-in-Chief Lees second national fraternity began its presence on campus this semesterwith the induction of its first pledge class. Kappa Upsilon Chi (KYX), a national Christian fraternity, began the semester-long induction process for its 21 pledges into the Sigma chapter the second week of classes. The only other national fraternity on campus is Phi Mu Alpha, which began in 2003. The new all-male club places a heavy emphasis on spiritual growth: Brotherhood, accountability and missions are their three main objectives according to KYX President Kevin Tan. At the end of the day, its not even about KYX. We could care less about that as long as you know that the Lord is getting glory and that people see that what we do is glorifying God, Tan said. The groups motto is Proverbs 27:17: As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. Tan said one of KYXs main objectives is to cultivate male leadership on campus among the student body. They also want to help build a strong community. Alan McClung, the dean of students, said hes very excited about KYX beginning. I was so impressed with their commitment, their humility and their willingness to serve the campus, McClung said. But KYX is still trying to find its place on

Liscensure requirements change for Tennessee teachers
By Abby Hassler News Editor Recent changes of the requirements for teacher licensure in Tennessee, which are scheduled to take full effect in 2015, establish new standards that condition licensure upon student test scores. The Tennessee Board of Education passed a proposal last month reconstructing the system for licensure renewal based upon the students Adequate Yearly Progress, or AYP. According to a state board agenda, in an effort to improve the licensure system, the state is going to streamline license types, introduce more rigorous entry requirements, and tie advancement and renewal to a minimum level of performance. These measures have been taken in an effort to improve the quality of education in Tennessee by making it more difficult for poor performing educators to continue teaching. William Estes, Dean of the Helen DeVos College of Education, believes this is not the most productive way to approach the problems in the states education system. Students will be tested more frequently and [teacher] evaluations will be based on the students test scores, Estes said. None of that is bad, but it is putting way too much emphasis in one area. Estes said that by placing emphasis on students test scores as a basis for performance evaluation, education becomes treated in business terms. You really cannot treat learning and education as a

to why they teach, Estes said regarding the schools preparation for teachers. Senior Maura Massie expressed her concern for the changes taking place. It doesnt change what I am called to do, but it just puts more strain on it, Massie said. It still doesnt change my ambition and drive to [teach]. Through all the changes, Estes remains confident that this will not hurt education majors who soon will be entering the teaching field. We prepare our students, Estes said. They know how its going to be. Our kids will be ready. uDr. Christine Williams, an associate professor of theater at Lee, was recently elected as research and development representative of the Theatre as a Liberal Art focus group of the Association for Theatre in Higher Education.

commodity, Estes said. It is not going to help schools, or make teachers better. As part of the recent changes, the state will also no longer be providing more pay for educators with a masters degree. It will now be left to the school districts to continue to pay more for their more educated teachers. This change in pay, Estes said, is based off of data from the state, which shows students show no more gain in classroom with a teacher who has a masters as opposed to one who does not. It will affect [the masters program] some, Estes said. But our program is going to be fine. Estes said that if the state makes changes, the school will as well.

Murray mentioned that four new faculty members: Jones, Poole, Moseley, and Robinson, are all graduates of Lee.

I love how we can talk about the Lord all the time. Junior Ashley Scheiderer expressed appreciation for professor Alves. [She] genuinely cares about her students and shows her desire for us to learn as much as we can, Scheiderer said. Her door is always open if we ever need any help. Murray said she is hopeful for the skillset each of them brings to Lee academia. I am excited about the expertise and the enthusiasm they bring to the students and to their classes, Murray said.

Freshmen Logan Bray and and Taylor Faulkner heard about the Global Perspectives trips during chapel on Thursday, Sept. 5. Bray was most interested in the Israel archaeology trip led by Brian Peterson, assistant professor of Old Testament. The trip includes an archeological dig where students will be searching for Joshuas Ai.

It has nothing to do with my major, Bray said, but I wanted to be an archeologist when I was little. Faulkners enthusiasm for the trip mirrored Brays, but on a more spiritual level. Ive always wanted to go to Israel and see where Jesus was and experience it, Bray said. Peterson described the dig as backbreaking hard work but incredibly fulfilling. You never read the Bible the same after handling the artifacts, Peterson said. This trip does not just cater to theology majors, but to any student who enjoys searching for the unknown,

Peterson said. Most people like to find stuff, Peterson said. You never know that with the next turn of your spade if youll be the one changing Biblical history. Trip prices vary from $3,200 to $6,000. McMullin said the down payment due dates will come out sometime this fall.

Lee gears up for new fundraising campaign

The countdown for the 1010-10 Campaign has begun. On Thursday, Oct. 10, Lee is asking alumni to donate $10 to match an alumnus donation of $10,000 towards the new Communication Arts Building. Donors will get to create a 140-character message, which will be sealed in a time Photo Credit: Allen Mincey capsule in the wall of the new building. The campaign is part of a larger effort to raise $300,000 for the Alumni Fund. All funds raised throughout will Friday night with three go towards new building questions: Would you like costs. to serve at the pleasure of the President? And, would you be interested in running the front-end team? Also, can you start Monday? Ryan said. I moved to Chicago three weeks later. Over the next 15 months, Ryan worked a combined total of 5,000 hours. Ryan said the highlight was the election night when the long hours of hard work paid off and no major technical issues occurred. The morning after the election, he received a hug from Obama. It was the only thing better, according to Ryan. Daniel has had some amazing experiences and I loved hearing about them, said senior Julia Wilhelm. It was amazing to hear how he used communication to influence politics in a huge way. For college students, Ryan offered a few words of wisdom. College is less about the facts you learn than learning the skill of educating yourself, Ryan said. Alumni have been targeted for donations for this campaign, but anyone is welcome to contribute. University relations will be setting up booths around campus for students to donate and write a message for the capsule. Vice President of University Relations Jerome Hammond said his office has never done a fundraising push like this before. We have no idea how its going to go, Hammond said. [It will] be kind of fun to think about what [they] might say to go in a time capsule. A 24-hour call center will be set up in Walker Memorial Building and manned all day to collect telephone donations. Social media, Hammond said, is the new frontier for his office. He said they found out that people dont like to be called, but they are open to be contacted digitally. Were really trying to create a sense among alums that you can support Lee, Hammond said. If we will join together alums, we really can create some powerful support. Hammond estimated the Communications Building will cost an upwards of $8 million.

Obama campaign web developer speaks to local media group

By Tim Moore Director of Advertising and Staff Writer Lee alumnus and the director of front-end development for President Barack Obamas reelection campaign, Daniel Ryan, returned to Cleveland last Friday to speak at the Creative Communicator conference hosted by the Cleveland Media Association. Ryan discussed the campaign and the strategies that his team implemented on the web. Through applying the fundamentals of research and utilizing mediums such as social media and mobile websites, they raised $690 million online alone for the campaign. Ryan has since traveled around the country speaking to various organizations about his experience. Before going back on the road, Ryan was able to guest lecture at the conference and visit old colleagues. This is my last week before the next sprint of travel gets going for me, Ryan said. It was really great to start it off back in Cleveland and see so many friends and a few of my professors [at the conference]. Its been a crazy eight years. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Daniel back in Cleveland, said Mary Dukes, the digital media studies program coordinator at Lee University. It is rewarding to see a young man so totally comfortable with who he is and what he does so well. Ryan graduated from Lee in 2005 with a bachelors degree in history and a minor in telecommunications. The following year, he obtained a Master of Arts in cultural history of war from the University of Manchester in England. While looking for a teaching position, the economy went into recession. Ryan then turned to web development as a way to earn an income. Ryan free-lanced and worked for creative agencies in the Chattanooga area. He applied for a position on the 2008 Obama campaign team yet did not get hired. In 2011, Ryan received a call from Teddy Goff, the digital director of Obamas reelection campaign.

...continued from page 1 while Phi Mu Alpha is part of the Academic Council, though also a fraternity. But KYX is trying to develop relationships with Lees Greek community. Finding a common ground between both of us is hard to do, KYX Secretary Kamal Sajja said. We just have different points of identification. Sajja said the group is eager to lend a helping hand with anything the Greek council or other groups might need help with. He also said that Phi Mu Alpha and many members of different Greek Letter clubs have been supportive of their efforts to begin the group. But not everyone has been accepting. Some familiar with Lees Greek system took to Twitter to voice their opinions on the new club. User @Zaximous tweeted, Please tell me this isnt real along with a picture of KYXs rush poster. Others commented, some cynical and some supportive. User @dorpygorpy responded, Its only the hottest new frat! #OnlyAtLee #TheWorst. But McClung said the Greek council had a favorable opinion of the group after being introduced. The Greek Council spoke very highly of them. Very very positive, not one negative thing was said, McClung said. Tyler Oda, president of Upsilon Xi, said that KYX may have come across as pretentious to some in the meeting. However, after meeting and talking with them personally, he doesnt think thats the case. Theyre a great group of initially showed interest, but the number dwindled as time went on. KYXs pledge system functions differently than other Greek Letter clubs on campus. The group didnt participate in any tap week activities, and instead of an induction weekend, pledges work all semester to join the group. Pledges have to attend all meetings without failthere are also breakfasts, prayer nights and a retreat. They also have to plan a service project and a party for all active chapter members. The reasoning behind the semester-long process is to help pledges become brothers, rather than trying to effect a change over the course of a weekend. Tan said that KYX has a strict no-hazing policy and can lose their charter if it occurs. A forced trial isnt a trial. The whole ideology of breaking someone down to build them up by verbal abuse or physical abuse we dont think that needs to be a component in any part of our system, Sajja said. As the group continues its pledge process, KYX is already seeking to reach out to the community. The group has its first large event planned for Oct. 26, a service project which will benefit Stop Hunger Now.

By Rushawn Walters Life Editor

Lee Clarion photo by Shane Tretheway

At the opening of the year, Lee University introduced three brand new mobile applications. These new applications will be used for athletics, new student orientation and general use app for Lee students. Nathaniel Tucker, director of IT systems, said that with the industry going in a more a mobile direction, the creation of these apps was almost inevitable. Most of these changes are foundational for future developments, Tucker said. The newest app of all of these is the New Student Orientation app. Lees IT Department partnered

with First Year Programs in order to make this happen. We had 1400 downloads, or 1400 unique people that used the app. So I would say that was somewhat successful, Tucker said. We were really excited. Its the first time weve done something like that for new student orientation, Assistant Director of First Year Programs Rochelle Mayberry said. It became very beneficial for new students because it was a new way to register for classes and helped them find their way around their new home at Lee University. Incoming freshmen Zachary Fallin was grateful for the app. It told me everything

that I was supposed to be doing for the whole weekend, Fallin said. I didnt have to print out a sheet or anything, it was just all right there on my phone. The next smartphone app introduced is the Lee Flames app. This provides the same information as the Athletic website just in a more mobile format. This apps features include live statistics, photos and schedules. Tucker also explained that the app will have playing fields where it will actually show the user players that are playing, their position and stats. The last app, Ellucian GO, is a general use app for Lee students that replaces the MOX app. The MOX app allowed the

user to view the schools news, upcoming events, courses and a directory of all important phone numbers. It was provided as an add-on product to our existing vendor that we use for Portico, Tucker said. The Ellucian GO app is similar to MOX but also has some new features. With the replacement you are now able to access Moodle, grades and local weather, among other things. Currently the most used feature on the app is the class schedule. We are very satisfied with the results, Tucker said. While the New Student Orientation app was only available during orientation, the others are currently available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Murray settles into academic affairs

By Caroline Eaton Staff Writer Deborah Murray is ready for business and is settling into her new position as vice president of academic affairs. After serving for 30 years in the Helen DeVos School of Education, Murray now resides over all four of Lees colleges. The semester is just getting started, so Im really still trying to find the rhythm of the new position, Murray said. Dr. Conn asked me to consider taking the position, and so I prayed about it and really felt like it was the right thing. Murray is new to the position, but she is not new to the university. For the past 37 years she has served in various positions in the Helen DeVos College of Education, with her most recent position being the dean of the college. Murray is originally from Mississippi, though she has spent most of her life in Cleveland. Her father was a professor at Lee, so even at a young age she was familiar with the university. I love Lee University; this is my home, Murray said. Ive really grown up on campus. Murray said that her new position as vice president is much different from her previous position. Her responsibilities include meeting with the faculty and evaluating curriculum. Murray also presides over academic programs such as Academic Support, FirstYear Programs, Global Perspectives, Center for Calling and Career and others. Murray replaced Carolyn Dirksen, who now serves as the director of Faculty Development. Dirksen said that her new position is quite different from her previous one, but she is enjoying the flexibility that comes with having a smaller staff. Dirksen also expressed confidence in Murray as she steps into the vice presidential position. She has just the right personality for this position-a great combination of intelligence, experience, passion for Lee and gentleness of spirit, Dirksen said. We are extremely lucky to have her in this role, and I am so eager to see what all she can accomplish. While Murray is enjoying her new responsibilities, she said that she misses the student interaction that she got to experience in her old position. She said that students would peek in to her old office frequently, but her new office in the Higginbotham Administration Building is more isolated. However, she still teaches a psychology class for education majors, and said she has a great time interacting with students in that setting. Murray mentioned many changes that have taken place on Lees campus over her years here. The campus, faculty and student body have all grown significantly, she said, but some things have remained the same. The heart of the university hasnt changed that much, Murray said. We still have the same mission and the core values that weve always had. While she was a student she was a member of the Lee Singers and the social service club Delta Zeta Tau. She said she still remembers the impact that her professors had on her life, and that those influences have really carried [her] through all the way to now. Murray is a self-proclaimed people-person, and said she loves interacting with students and seeing them impacted in the same ways she was as a student. She also gave credit to the Lee faculty who inspire her. Another person who

Photo Credit: Lee University inspires her is her husband, Voices of Lee Director Danny Murray. Weve been here at Lee together. He has so many interesting gifts that are so different than mine, so its really a great team, Murray said. If I have questions about something that is totally outside my realm of strengths, hes got it covered. Thats really neat. Murray will soon start making changes and improvements to academic affairs based on the need. Currently, most of her work has been laid out for her, as she is in the process of lifting the new nursing program off the ground, and preparing the university for reaccreditation. Her advice to students is to make the most of your years and your time here at Lee because too quickly its over.

LIFE 7 Budgeting tips for college students

By Andrea France Contributing Writer College life can be difficult when it comes to finances. Books, school supplies, club fees, food and entertainment are just a few of the things students have to pay for on a regular basis. To complicate matters, students also have to juggle scholarships, student loans or personal incomes. But with financial techniques like budgeting, everyday life becomes less of a hassle and more manageable. Budgeting may sometimes become more of a tedious task than a primary discipline. Intentions to save can be somewhat short-lived. According to Junior Preston Smith, the key to budgeting is simply understanding needs. It can be especially difficult when we see a nice pair of Toms or Aldo heels. Smith, however, seems to have gotten a hang of managing his spending habits. You really need to sit down and be aware of your necessities, Smith said. Netflix is not a necessity, an iPhone is not a necessity, and eating out with friends is not a necessity You have to know your priorities. Sophomore Mitchell Torrence said he believes that its important for students to start budgeting now rather than waiting until theyre older. Torrence stated I think now, its a little bit easier to make a budget, just because theres not a lot of factorsno kids, no mortgage, no income tax, Torrence said. If we get the framework and principles now, its going to be easier to save now. Senior Dustin Lawson suggested that students put away spare money each week. Lee students also said shopping at Walmart, T.J.Maxx, Goodwill and Habitat for Humanitys ReStore are good places to shop to get more bang for their buck. Buying wholesale or in bulk can also be helpful. When youre shopping for foods and hygiene products try buying things in bulks and not single items...you save more, Torrence said.

Student surprised with tap night proposal

By Emma Liem Contributing Writer Cheers erupted in Alumni Park Thursday evening when Jessie Delano Pate, a recent Lee University graduate, popped the question to girlfriend Katie Logan during tap night. Logan, expecting to take part in traditional tap night activities, walked with her fellow DZT members to Alumni Parks gazebo, where she found Pate seated with his guitar. I was completely shocked, Logan said. He had told me he was going to be working late that night, so I had no idea he was even in town! Pate proceeded to serenade Logan with the song Wanted by Hunter Hayes as family and friends looked on. That song means a lot to us, Pate explained. When Logan was abroad on her cross-cultural trip, Pate sent her the song to help make the three weeks apart a little easier. It became our song, Logan agreed. I knew what was going to happen as soon as he started to sing it. Pate began planning the surprise proposal about a month in advance, with the help of Logans good friends Chelsea Elrod and Katie Boswell. I wasnt nervous at all until that morning, Pate said. Then it really hit me, and I was so stressed I couldnt eat all day. After the song, Pate gave Logan a bouquet of flowers before getting down on one knee. It felt so surreal, Logan said. You pray for this moment your whole life, you pray to find the right man, and then once you do its more than you ever thought it would be. Pate, 25, and Logan, 20, first met on a Sunday morning at North Cleveland Church of God last year where Pate was performing with the Lee Singers. I saw her worshipping the whole service and couldnt keep my eyes off of her, Pate said. I always wanted a girl who had the same desire for God that I did, and I knew right then that she was the one. Logan wasnt quite on the same page. I was like, Who is this guy? Logan said, laughing. Why is he staring at me? Pate worked up the courage to ask Logan out on a date for Valentines Day soon after. I had never actually talked to her before because I was too shy, but we ended up hanging out that night and just talking for hours, really getting to know each other, Pate said. It was the first time I broke curfew, Logan said. But it was definitely worth it! Pate said they were pretty serious from the beginning, and she picked the ring she wanted about a year ago. The pair hopes to wed in March of next year. Logan plans to graduate in July with a degree in discipleship. Both said they hope to someday work and travel together as full-time worship pastors. Pate recently received a staff position as the band director for Logans home church in Marietta. There he will be working alongside Logans father, the churchs worship pastor. As for marriage, Logan and Pate said they feel very prepared. Weve had great examples in our parents, and are excited to start this new chapter.

SPORTS

Fall sports begin first season playing full NCAA schedule

By Josh Eferighe Contributing Writer Fall sports such as men and womens soccer, golf, cross-country and volleyball take this seasons spotlight as the Flames begin their first season playing a full NCAA Division II schedule. Of these sports, the womens soccer team has experienced the most success. After winning four consecutive NAIA National Championships, the Lady Flames lost by way of penalty kicks in the semi-finals to Olivet Nazarene last season. The team went 20-1-2 in the regular season. This concluded their tenure in the NAIA as Lee University made the leap to the NCAA Division II and was officially accepted into the Gulf South Conference. The Lady Flames lost what Head Coach Matt Yelton called his most talented senior class ever, which consisted of five All-Americans. However team veterans Laura Thacker and Leah Fortune, who were both NAIA All-Americans in 2012, have returned. They also have added recruits such as Summer Lanter, who was recently called into the U20 National Pool for training, as well as goalkeeper Haley Gribler from Springboro, Ohio. The Lee University Mens Soccer team returns after having finished last season with a winning record for the second consecutive year under coach Paul Furey. The Flames have 18 underclassmen, but Furey is not using that as an excuse as he prepares the team for the upcoming season. Were striving to make a statement upon our first year competing in the Gulf South Conference, Furey said. The Lady Flames volleyball team finished their season last year with 30 wins and 11 losses. Now that the team is entering a new conference, Head Coach Andrea Hudson plans on making sure her players are prepared to make the change. The approach is different because we havent played these teams before. We have no concept of how tough these teams are, Hudson said. Nine players return to the team, while four new recruits have been added this season. Also featured this fall is men and womens cross-country directed by new assistant

Lee Clarion Photo coach Will Musto from Chattanooga Notre Dame High School. Caleb Morgan is approaching his first full year as head coach, taking over midway through last season. He will oversee both the women and mens squad, who finished first and second in the SSAC last season. All athletic teams will play both NCAA Division II and Gulf South Conference schedules for the 2013-2014 season.

Hudson named universitys first assistant athletic director

By Jonathan Perelman Contributing Writer Andrea Hudson was named the assistant athletic director for Lee University. Coach Hudson is the first Assistant Athletic Director for the university. The move was to help [Athletic Director Larry Carpenter] with all the little requirements that the NCAA has, Hudson said. Coach Hudson was named the Senior Woman Administrator (SWA) earlier this year after the move to the NCAA. She is also the head volleyball coach. The NCAA requires the position of SWA to help the university comply with Title IV laws. We felt like we needed to increase her responsibilities and role. She is very deserving of the new title, Carpenter said. The new position is less than a month old, and Hudson and Carpenter have yet to sit down and work out all the responsibilities that will be added. Shes a leader, shes earned the respect of everyone in our department, so for us it was a natural change, Carpenter added. Coach Hudson thinks that the transition to the NCAA is a very beneficial move. It helps our school in terms of the accountability, Hudson said. [It also helps] in terms of competition across the board and recruiting...When players see the word NCAA, they are automatically attracted to that school, Hudson said. Coach Hudson has been a coach at Lee University for 22 years. She has coached softball, volleyball and now adds the titles of assistant athletic director and senior woman administrator.

Mens and womens rugby clubs face unique challenges

By Richard Byrd Contributing Writer The Men and Womens Rugby teams at Lee University face a unique challenge with recruiting each and every season. Most university sports programs have their pick when it comes to recruiting players. Student athletes tend to flock toward college athletics in order to play against tougher competition and gain scholarships. The womens club is facing the challenge of teaching new players how to play the game of rugby. The rugby teams are looking to take student athletes that are new to the sport and turn them into NCAA athletes. Right now, we are seeking to build the team up; we want to build a competitive club. We have a lot of new players, so we are not exactly driven by results this season. We are more developmental than anything, Head Womens Coach Michael Freake said. Freake hopes to see the womens program expand in the future and gain interest from both prospective high school students as well as Lee students. Nearly 50 girls came to the first womens practice and showed interest in joining the club. We had a lot of girls come out to our first practice, and it was really exciting to see the interest of girls that wanted to try a sport that some of them had never heard of before, Womens Rugby Chaplain Kim Williams said. There are an awful lot of girls at Lee, but a lot are afraid to go out for the team. We are good at developing our players, and our success comes from successful coaching. We just need folks to sign up, Freake said. Despite having just gained acceptance to NCAA Division II as a university, the womens Rugby club regularly schedules friendly matches against clubs from Division I programs, such as the University of Tennessee and Ohio State University. The goal is to make it to the Final Four because we have never done that before. It would be nice to bring our coaches there, said second year player Samantha Kendrick. While the womens team is a relatively new program, the mens team is now entering their eleventh season. Head Mens Coach Jonathan Kist said, I have very high expectations for the team, my expectations for the team are simple, 100 percent focus and 100 percent intensity. I feel that with these two things we will do very well this season. Like the womens team, the mens team regularly plays Division I programs such as the University of Tennessee, Auburn University and the University of Alabama. Our conference is growing each year. Lee University Rugby is part of the Dixie League Conference, which is part of the National Small College Rugby Organization (NSCRO). We have very competitive opponents and are a highly respected team in the conference, Kist said. Due to a relatively large number of returning upperclassmen, the mens club expects to regularly compete at a high level in their conference and in friendly matches. Kist credits the leadership of the coaches and captains for the teams success both in the past and in the future. This leadership will be tested as incoming freshman and players new to the game of Rugby join the team this season. This year is our strongest year of recruiting from regional high schools, I would like to see high school students continue to desire to come to Lee to play rugby, Kist said.

By Mark Pace Sports Editor best overall NAIA program. Now the NAIA is in the rear view mirror, and the university is focused on a complete transition to the NCAA Division II as the teams will be playing a full Division II and Gulf South Conference schedule this fall. The report began by explaining that Lee was fine with the NAIA but stated that the universitys administration think[s the NCAA] better reflects the quality and philosophy of our athletic program, and it offers a higher level of competition for our student athletes. With the move to the NCAA comes the move to a new conference, and Lee has been accepted to join the Gulf South Conference. The Flames have already started a full conference schedule and will officially be a member of the new

SPORTS 11 President Conn answers questions surrounding move to the NCAA

conference for the 2015-2016 season. The Gulf South Conference has been a perennial football powerhouse and has pressured the school into conducting a study to decide if football would be a good fit at Lee University. The Gulf South Conference really wants [Lee] to start football. We committed to do a feasibility study which we are right in the middle of, Athletic Director Larry Carpenter said. We dont know exactly what that outcome will be, but it is a football conferenceThe Gulf South is the SEC of Division II. That is one of the things that the [Gulf Coast Conference] really liked about usthe potential to add football. They really want us to have football, Carpenter added. One of the biggest concerns raised about the transition to the NCAA and the possible addition of a football program has been the so-called jock culture that could ensue from the higher level of recruits that will likely be targeted with the leap to the NCAA. However, the school has been quick to shut down any rumors surrounding this issue as Conn and others assured the faculty that this would not be the case. The NCAA DII requires a higher standard in recruiting student athletes to enter Lee, and it requires a higher standard in their remaining eligible after they get here. DII has more safeguards against the tendency of a coach to demand more of an athlete than fits within the life of a successful college student. It has greater emphasis on graduation rates. In all of that, it has tighter reporting requirements and greater accountability to insure that we all operate by those values, Conn wrote. Were going to sell [the incoming recruits] on the academics, Carpenter said. While the jock culture may be a concern for some, most Lee faculty members seemed unconcerned about the type of athletes Lee will bring in. According to the studentathlete handbook, [the] intercollegiate athletic program is designed to assist in preparing students for responsible Christian living in the complex world. Even with the move to the NCAA, that will not change. In the report, Conn also shot down any idea that Lee University could possibly ever become a Division I school despite the success of other Christian universities such as Liberty University, Texas Christian University and Baylor University. It has never been on our radar screen, Conn said of the university potentially ever becoming a Division I institution. We are not, and dont intend ever to be, the type of school that would be the right fit for Division I. Its out of the question. So even though one is taught never to say never, I will say it on this subject: never. This stance was echoed within the athletic department. We just feel like with our mission and the size of our school, that Division II is the right fit for us, Carpenter said. We dont feel that Division I is a fit for Lee and who we are.

The presidents office has answered questions about the universitys move to the NCAA Division II in a report released earlier this semester. President Paul Conn took the time to answer 25 questions that have been raised surrounding the transition in a report that he wrote and released to faculty members. In the universitys final year in the NAIA, the school won the Commissioners Cup as the best all-around athletic program in the Southern States Athletic Conference and finished fifth in the voting for the Learfield Sports Directors Cup for the

We are not interested in going that direction. When I look at Division I, I look at Tennessee and Duke and I look at North Carolina. Thats who I watch on TV [is schools from the Power 6 conferences] I would rather compete for National Championships rather than conference championships, said Andrea Hudson, assistant athletic director and head volleyball coach. Hudson went on to compare Lee University to Liberty University and said that she would rather be able to say that Lee is a National Champion at whatever level that may be than a conference champion. She also went on to say a lot of the smaller [Division I] schools would be better off [in Division II.] Another concern that has been raised is about ticket prices. While Lee is moving up to the NCAA, they will continue to allow all students and faculty to attend games for free. A misconception about the NCAA is that the university would have to pay higher fees than they would in the NAIA. This is simply not true. We believe the overall costs of being in NCAA DII will not be higher. This is a common misperception, Conn wrote. The full report can be found on the Lee Flames website.

OPINION Desperately seeking: sweater weather

12
By Mary Beth Gremillion Fashion Columnist I dont know about you, but I cant wait until fall. All those sweaters, layers, and boots send me into a frenzy. Autumn is almost here: If you are up early enough you can almost feel it now. Crisp mornings that smell of chocolate, and cloudless skies. Now that the first weeks of school have passed and the initial excitement of showing off all those new summer clothes has worn off, you may be at a loss at what to wear as the weather turns colder. This seasonal limbo were having means all those adorable thrift store sweaters and cool leather jackets are not quite ready to be worn. So what do you wear? Military is well on its way to stores near you, if it isnt already there. Now dont be alarmedhipster is still king. The trifecta of owls, foxes, and birds will still be available to you everywhere. But with the military trend we want small touches. Dont don the whole camo suit and blend in with the bushes around campus. Wear a military jacket with a cute girly dress to offset the jackets masculinity. Be sure to make the trends your own and combine it with your own style. When it comes to solid colors this fall, emerald is the color of the seasonif not the year.Wear it on your shirt or your nails, or be bold and incorporate it as

LEE CLARION | SEPTEMBER 12, 2013

an eye shadow or eyeliner. If youre scared that you may look like an extra from the Wizard of Oz, try emerald in small doses, like a nail color. Companies such as Essie, Revlon and OPI have all shades of this trendy color and you can pick them up anywhere. Another trend that the upcoming season brings is boots. Wear all the boots: short boots, tall boots, rubber boots, leather boots, army boots, studded boots, cowboy boots, cutout boots, and booties. You cant open a magazine, the Internet or Pinterest without seeing someone wearing a pair of boots. And theyre for guys and girls. Wear them with jeans; wear them with dresses and skirts--boots are always in season. Wear those army boots with pride and stomp to class in the soon to be coming autumn (monsoon season). And if youve been here at Lee for at least one semester you know we get a bit of rain, sometimes in biblical proportions (Insert Noahs ark jokes). Boots are great for walking around campus when its pouring. To recap: Military inspired clothing, from small touches of camouflage and olive colored jackets to combat boots. For girls, adding masculine touches, like an army jacket to girly items creates a great juxtaposition on your outfit. For guys, combat boots with jeans or an army jacket look great on you too. And as far as emerald is concerned, learn it, love it and wear it. Something as small as a nail color can really feature this years color. And lastly, lace up your boots. You can invest in a great pair that will last for years, or find a pair that fit how you feel now. Now youre prepared to rock fall. Sweater weather cant come fast enough.

Letter from the Editor

Campus becomes a flurry of activity at the beginning of a new school year. New and old students run around trying to buy books, move into dorm rooms and buy school supplies. Or in the case of Sharp-Davis, they chalk up the entire campus. Brightly colored messages appeared everywhere the first week of classes. Chalk greetings covered steps, sidewalks and pavement, all from the girls of Sha-D. You couldnt walk anywhere without pastels popping out at you. It was a fun, colorful way for a group to welcome everyone to campus, whether you were a returning student or a freshman. And thats whats great about Lee. Once here, you become a part of the bubbleand a very friendly bubble at that. Want to say something here? You can write it all over the campus in chalk. Throw up some flyers. Tell your friends about it. Talk really loudly in the PCSU so people overhear you. Its not so easy in the real world. People dont contact you through chalk messages: They email you. You email them. They send you a press release: You ignore it. On and on it goes. You get to dress up and be professional, which can be fun. But in the real world, you become one of millions of people just trying to do your thing. After interning for a semester in Washington, D.C., I missed the simplicity of Lee. Here you get to put your life on pause before you hit your career. Its four years of clubs, movie nights, hanging out with friends, taking weekend trips, and having a good time all around. Sure, you have tests and papers to writebut how many of us really do more than spend a few hours before theyre due cobbling something together? Some of us may be in a rush to get out of school and start careers. And its good to keep in mind that college is time to prepare for that. But enjoy your time here. Chalk up the campus. Go to club meetings just for the free pizza. Roast marshmallows on the eternal flame. Wait You probably shouldnt do that (but I did). But do make memories as much as you can while youre here. So to those of you coming back, welcome home. To you freshmen, dig in. Its going to be a fun four years. And to all the seniors out there, lets make this year count. And while were at it, lets change the face of Lee for the better before we go. Momma always said to leave things better than you found them.

HOW TO EXIST 24/7 IN CLEVELAND

Lee Clarion Photo By Mitchell Capps, Contributing Writer For the insomniacs, nocturnal dwellers or just those over-zealous with their late-night caffeine intake, Lees campus curfew of 3 a.m. can be a real problem. While Lee University students do not have the luxury of a 24-hour location on campus, there are still ways to exist around-the-clock in Cleveland. Here are a few locations for Lees night owls to make nest. 1. Waffle House/IHOP/ Dennys: These diners are an obvious choice for many students. After all, nothing says breakfast like 3 a.m. Waffle House allows their jukebox to be the soundtrack to your study session while IHOP and Denny's give the option to order endless pancakes to take the sting out of that twentypage assignment. 2. Walmart: Albeit this supermarket may not be conducive to studying, it is renowned for its ability to keep young minds entertained for hours. Not to mention, if your day is slammed with classes and research in the library, the early morning hours are the most practical time to purchase your meager collegiate groceries. 3. University Laundry: While there are several 24-hour laundromats in Cleveland, the most convenient lies just past the School of Religion on Parker Street. This may not seem ideal until you take into account that you wear clothes, and you eventually have to clean them. Added to this locations appeal is the free Wi-Fi, snack machines, arcade games and cable television. 4. The gym:For those with full class loads, it will become evident that students do a whole lot of sitting down. This may begin to show up around the mid-section if one is not careful. To combat this physical slump, gyms like the Rush are open 24-hours a day so you can energize your scholarly body and soul. 5. Wa l g r e e n s / CVS:Pharmacies do not rank high on the top hangout spots for young people, but no one can deny that childish urge to test their blood pressure on the machine, and at the very least, you can ask the pharmacist how to responsibly use a sleeping aid. Or if you are still avoiding sleep, just pick up a Redbox movie and a snack. Life doesnt have to stop when the last building locks up for the night on Lees campus. Keep these locations in mind the next time your sheep counting has reached five digits or if you simply want a night on the town.

OPINION

LEE CLARION | SEPTEMBER 12, 2013

For what reason?

By Zach Orrison Conservative Columnist The day has passed in which the worst word one could say contains four letters, or five. Dont worry, this isnt that kind of article. Can you guess? The word is compromise. People cry foul at the very mention of compromise happening in D.C. But, is that a good thing? Some would conclude it isnt. Others might say things like, we need to step across the aisle to come to a better decision. Lets face it: People in the United States are very frustrated with Congress and its seemingly endless loops and hoops it jumps through every day. Be it getting provisions of Obamacare taken care of, or deciding whether or not to intervene in another countrys affairs, people just dont trust them. Thats part of the reason both members of Congress and their constituents refuse to think compromise is a good idea. In other words, the abominable word and act of compromise is like a child reaching in a cookie jar before dinner and getting their hand smacked. Getting a hand smacked in this case would be a Congressman getting ripped apart by the media, or worse, not getting reelected. In seeking solutions to national issues, it is important to sometimes take the risk of getting your hand smacked in order to come out with a more optimal decision. With the situation in Syria, it is difficult for some to see the most optimal decision. C ons i d e r i ng m i l it ar y action or any other type of intervention is never an easy thing to come to an agreement on. Just recently, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted 10-7 in favor of limited military action in Syria. Of course, this has to go through the much more conservative house, so only time will tell the true reality of the situation. According to the joint resolution from the Foreign Relations Committee, the committee stood firm on receiving reports from the president to Congress. That is, the president should keep Congress up to speed on the everyday operations, should the United States choose to take action. In our current state, action seems to be the consensus. Is this something our country needs to do right now? Do our current national issues outweigh the conflict in Syria? These are very serious questions that need to be dealt with in great depth before a final decision is made. Apart from the claim Syria was using chemical weapons against civilians in their own country, what else is driving the thought of intervening? It seems like coming to a conclusion based off one claim is a little bit too quick. That goes for both sides of this decision. If we apply the same kinds of thoughts and questions to other national issues, perhaps we will see why it could be a good thing to see both sides. This doesnt necessarily suggest compromise in all situations, but to simply dig deeper to the core of any issue the country may face.

The case for caution

By Eric Miller Liberal Columnist

As anyone who has had a

conversation about politics in the last two weeks would know, the debate over the proper U.S. response to the civil war in Syria, and specifically to allegations of chemical weapon use by the forces of Bashar al-Assad, is presently the dominant topic. Since the president has decided to seek congressional approval, a move that did not fare well for David Cameron when he tried it with British Parliament, there are now some concerns over how the response of the U.S. appears on the international stage and how effectively the U.S. can respond. I believe a slower, more cautious path is correct, and I will attempt here to satisfy some objections. Firstly, let us examine the issue of appearance to other

states. The use of chemical weapons would violate a principle that the U.S. had previously indicated it would uphold, and so a lack of a military response, it could be claimed, would show duplicity and weakness. I find this line of argument to be unconvincing. Bashar al-Assad can call whomever weak that he wants; he has bigger concerns at the moment. The idea that an anti-U.S. state would see this as a sign that they could get away with previously unacceptable behaviors isnt inherently flawed, but that chance is far too risky for pretty much any state in the system. It is far more damaging to the U.S.s reputation to be seen as acting unilaterally and interfering with state sovereignty. I realize seeking the United Nations Security Councils approval is difficult due to China and Russia, but if a

decision is put off at least until the U.N. inspectors make their report, it could put the vetoing powers in a difficult position. Of course this leads to the second, much shorter, objection. The time it takes to wait on the U.N. or Congress could supposedly jeopardize the effectiveness of military action. I think the Syrian government may be able to protect some assets, but any amount of destruction will be a serious blow to their position relative to the rebels. I am not saying the concern over Syria hiding military assets in civilian areas is unjustified, but that course of action is not feasible for every resource. The war could be decided by one significant blow to either side, and Bashar al-Assad is in a very precarious position. For all these reasons, I advocate caution.
