This week, five Campbell seniors will travel with professor Shirley Jefferds to Minneapolis, Minnesota to present their research papers at the Sigma Tau Delta International Convention.

Sigma Tau Delta is an English hon-or society open to students with a B average or higher in English who have completed at least three college semes-ters. Students began submitting their papers for review last fall and received congratulations or regrets from Sigma Tau Delta over Christmas break.

Campbell’s English department has sponsored annual convention trips since 2014. Every year, the convention takes place in a different city, providing great opportunities for travel, resume building and student bonding.

This year, Jefferds, the advisor for Campbell’s Sigma Tau Delta chapter, has guided the students through the editing and submission processes and will be chaperoning this year’s trip.

“The convention has been a wonder-ful experience for Campbell students,” Jefferds says. “It is an opportunity to

meet students from around the country who love language and literature and to share ideas and experiences! Our Campbell students have done very well out there in a bigger pool!”

This year, Campbell is proud to spon-sor five accepted students—Stephanie Bailey, Nicole Jones, Jo Jones, Jacob Berger, and Catie Godbold—whose

papers cover a broad range of topics.Stephanie Bailey, an English major,

wrote her essay, titled “The Slower of Two Deaths: Shakespeare’s Message on Lying as Shown Through Puns in ‘Hamlet’” for a Shakespeare class in

“Exercise is Medicine” challenges students

Students to present research at English conference

Campbell began an initiative to get students active, hosting “Exercise is Medicine” throughout the month of February to work toward that goal.The American College of Sports Medicine designed this event to get students in-volved around campus and to engage as many people as possible in aerobic exercise for an entire month, while earning donations for charity.

Exercising is not always considered “fun,” but what better way to get peo-ple moving than to motivate them by turning their miles into donations to their charity of choice?

Students, faculty and staff are

asked to download the app, Charity Miles, on their smartphone and join the “CUexercise” team. Each time they walk, run or bike with this app, a sponsor associated with Charity Miles will add up the amount of miles achieved by the activity, which will determine the amount of money that will be donated to the charity of choice.

“I believe that the Charity Miles app is beneficial in both that it helps people for different charities, as well as helps me to receive exercises and know that my exercise will be beneficial to those charities,” said Dalton Garner, a sophomore kinesiology pre-physical therapy major. “I also like that Charity Miles involved so many different

charities so students can help whoever they feel like is in need.”

Jennifer Bunn, one of the professors hosting this event and an assistant professor in the department of exercise science, said that there are 131 team members and that they have moved over 950 miles.

Nicole Hernandez, “I don’t necessarily enjoy working

out, but it makes it a lot more enjoy-able knowing I will be helping out a charity in need,” said Nick Ferrara, junior business administration and marketing double major. “It’s a great way to get students, faculty and staff involved all while getting in shape and donating money.”

“In August, the Public Affairs club had to face a horrible reality,” Hayden Duncan, senior political science pub-lic administration major, said. “We sat down with our faculty advisor John Mero and decided that the recruit-ment plans of previous club executives simply weren’t cutting it, and that may have not been a bad thing.”

He said that while previous ad-ministrations focused primarily on increasing the number of members within the organization, this year’s board felt that a different approach was warranted. “Campbell University lacked a place and organization that was a nonpartisan place that students could discuss and learn about issues that affect them,” said Duncan, and that is why he and the other board members decided to stir the club in a new direction.

“From domestic terrorism to post graduation job placement, students needed an organization that would bring together the immense talent of this campus’ professors and profes-sionals and outside professionals to discuss the issues that affect them,” stated Duncan.

For their 8th annual spring lecture, the Public Affairs Club felt that it was essential to bring someone to campus that provides real insight into our gen-eration and how we interact with all the other generations. For this reason they invited Rogan Kersh, provost of Wake Forest University, to speak before an audience of nearly seventy students this past Wednesday.

Kersh earned an undergraduate degree from Wake Forest University, followed by two master’s degrees and his doctorate from Yale. He later

COVER STORY

Big South comes to the CreekCampbell prepares for its biggest multi-day event in university history By LynJosha RussellAssistant Editor

With the Big South Men’s Basketball Tournament tipping off Thursday, Campbell has been preparing each and every day for the big event.

Many changes can be seen in the John W. Pope Convocation Center and Gore Arena, where the bulk of the festivities will be taking place. There are new amenities placed throughout the arena that enhance the pride of the Camels. Features that cannot go unno-ticed, of course, are the huge four-sided video board hung in the center of Gore Arena, along with the two new scorer’s tables on the sidelines.

“I think we can say with great confidence that the John W. Pope Convocation Center and Gore Arena is now the finest in the Big South Conference,” said Campbell’s Athletic Director Bob Roller. “There are a few larger venues in the league, but our new amenities and the perfect sight-lines from every seat take Gore Arena to the top. We are prepared to show our entire conference what a great show that Campbell can present to the nation.”

The word “tournament” can bring joy to anyone’s ears. Hosting any sort of tournament brings a great amount of preparation, but everyone is also looking forward to the environment this opportunity holds as well. Fans and other organizations from the other schools in the Big South Conference will flood the arena with cheers and fun

each day of the tournament.“To me, there is nothing like a

tournament atmosphere, where every game is win or go home,” said Roller. “The campus will be alive with the fans, bands and cheer squads of 11 teams, and it will be the single big-gest multi-day event to ever come to our university.”

Campbell Men’s Basketball is also ecstatic about the tournament. They are happy to have that home court advan-tage and be able to sleep in their own beds. It’ll be a totally different setting than going to Myrtle Beach, but they look forward to this new opportunity.

“It’ll be a little bit unique because we’ve never hosted before,” said head

coach Kevin McGeehan. “The big-gest thing is that we will have our incredible fan base here supporting us and [giving] us a better opportunity to succeed.”

The Tournament not only brings a lot of great attention and publicity to Campbell, but to the surround-ing community as well. The entire Campbell community has embraced the event incredibly.

“We have said since the day that we won this bid that hosting the Big South Conference tournament is a great source of pride for Campbell University and for Harnett County,” Roller said.

Campbell University’s Facilities Management has spent a great amount

of time making the necessary upgrades to the arena and the campus. Their work to get Campbell in the best possible light will not go unnoticed as the university prepares for national television exposure.

The Big South Men’s Basketball Tournament will be held Mar. 3–6 at Gore Arena. The Big South Network will air the first round on March 3. Then ESPN3 will come in and cover the quarterfinals and the semifinals from Mar. 4–5, leaving ESPN2 to cover the final game on Sunday, March 6. Come out and support your fighting Camels and the entire Big South Conference. Tickets are free for students.

Midterms minus the stressBy Rachel Rock & Christian HornadayEditor-in-Chief & Assistant Editor

Midterm-time is the dreaded time of the semester for all college students.This mid-point of the semester is when professors pile on work and test us on the information we should have already learned.

“Midterm exams are basically just a way for a professor to see what all you have accomplished and actually under-stood in the class up until this time” said Austin Ivory, a senior communication studies pre-law major. “If you are a senior, then the midterm, and maybe two other assignments are all [the grades] you have. For a senior, midterms are really just a way for the students to get stressed out.”

The best way to keep from getting too stressed out is to work ahead and make sure that you are prepared. Pulling all-nighters and surviving on caffeine may seem like the norm, but they are not the healthiest ways to ensure success. Students, instead, need to focus on health and preparation to get the most out of

their midterm experience.Here are our top tips for getting

through your midterms without stress, regardless of your amount of experience:

1. Prepare ahead of time. If you wait until the last minute to do your midterm work, you will not be ready when the time comes. Working ahead will save you from stress of a time constraint and will create a much easier midterm period.

2. Focus on one midterm at a time. When you are studying for midterms or working on projects, try to focus on one at once. Trying to get everything done at once will overwhelm you and will cause your work to suffer. While the study-ing and work will most likely overlap for multiple classes, if you create a time schedule and only work on one at a time, you will be more likely to be successful.

3. Take care of yourself. Overworking yourself and forgetting to sleep will not help you do well on your midterms. In order to do your best, you need to stay healthy, both mentally and physi-cally. You need to sleep, relax and re-member to breathe because if you lose your sanity or your physical healthy,

midterms will only get harder.“The best way to prepare for a big test

is to actually be prepared,” said Eric Or-tiz, a sophomore communication studies major. “It’s not a good idea to wait until a few days before the test to actually open up the book and study.”

Midterm exams and projects are things that all students have to face. We need to work through them and do our best to get out of them on top. Prepare, prioritize and focus and you will do just fine on all of your midterm work. And remember, spring break is coming, so you just need to get through this stressful week in order to reach a week of vacation and much needed rest.

“The only way to actually learn a subject is to review the material over and over again; it’s a process,” said Ortiz. “As soon as you get out of class, go review the material your professor just went over. Maybe make a few flashcards, draw out diagrams, and my favorite, utilize Qui-zlet. Each day after that, set aside just a few minutes to review. Now, you won’t have to pull all-nighters right before your test.”

Guide to the presidential candidates By Omar HouraniStaff Writer

Hillary Clinton:Pros: Her major advantage is that

she has the most extensive political experience out of all the candidates. She often ranks high in “the most admired women in the world” lists, which is useful for this tense period in foreign-policy. As secretary-of-state, she was able to garner much experience in the Middle East—a must for the next commander-in-chief. Besides her foreign-policy expertise, her domestic plans reflect logical moderation that is neither too far left nor right, or as she calls herself: “moderate progressive.” She recognizes crises like healthcare, education, environment and poverty, and has planned pragmatic ways that the government can get more involved to improve them. All this is done while

defending the values of capitalism and competition.

Cons: Clinton’s long political experi-ence has been riddled with questionable moments, like the email-controversy and Benghazi. However, considering the nature of politics, any politician put under the spotlight for so long will eventually be surrounded with just as much, if not more, controversy—as long as it’s newsworthy. Another con is that Clinton has been backed by lobby-ists from Wall Street.

Bernie Sanders:Pros: The youth love him, as he

prioritizes major domestic problems, like poverty and unaffordable health-care and education. He wants to model the US like Canada and Europe, where standards of living are high, with better access to government services. The fact that he’s not backed by super

PACs means that he’s less influenced by lobbyists than others. In fact, he plans to raise taxes on the rich in order to empower the poor and middle class.

Cons: He can be viewed as too extreme, and his views may have some correlation with socialism. He also doesn’t always make economic sense; i.e., he wants to raise minimum wage and increase youth unemployment—though economically, raising minimum wage increases unemployment, starting from the youth.

Ted Cruz:Pros: He has a lot of political experi-

ence, though not as much as Clinton.Cons: He’s backed by wealthy super

PACs that lobby for their own interests. He was the architect of the notorious government shutdown that cost $24

taught at Syracuse and then NYU before returning to Wake Forest University to serve as their provost.

Kersh spoke mainly on our generation and how it is distinctly different from those prior to ours. He said that if you were to watch the movies or shows that they make about our generation the perception is far from reality. Yes, our generation is substantially different from our parents and grandparents, but to say that we are inherently inferior is simply a far step from reality.

“Sure, our generation faces distinct challenges,” Duncan said. “But we also have distinct accomplishments, char-acteristics and opportunities that our previous generations never had, which could help us solve the distinct problems of our futures.”

Kersh quoted Thomas Jefferson,saying that “the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants” in an effort to illustrate that generations are distinctly different from one another and often cannot be expected to live within the confines of previous generations.

“I got the feeling that because we are the new generation that he was talking about, he commanded the room,” said senior economics pre-law major William Miller. “It was like he didn’t just look at us as objective subjects, but that we were part of the experiment and that we were the living and breathing generation.”

Miller said that this event was unlike any other in that it sincerely captivated the attention of the audience and not one student was looking at his or her phone.

“I felt that it highlighted the gen-eration well and it engaged students because it was about them,” Jeffrey Biggs, a sophomore political science major, said.

Amongst the crowd were also a good number of professors, one being Mero who helped put the event together.

“Dr. Kersh is still the best classroom professor I’ve ever seen,” Mero said, ”and I can’t get over how much different you Millennials are from our Generation X.” He said that many scholars who are invited here know little about Campbell, yet always leave with a positive im-pression. “Some of the scholars sit on admissions committees for their re-spective graduate programs, and now Campbell University applicants stand out and are recognized,” Mero said.

This was just one of the many events that the Public Affairs Club plans to host this year. “We don’t want to have a set list of members,” Duncan said. “We want the whole campus involved and that’s what we envisioned. We want to have discussions that range from health-care to how to defeat ISIS. We want everyone involved.”

billion, and recently threatened to carry out another. These disastrous measures may hint at bad diplomacy skills. Moreover, he shows clear reli-gious fanaticism, claiming that there is a war against Christians. His past has been put on the spotlight as well, as people are questioning his Canadian birth and concealing lobbyists’ dona-tions. Cruz is also known for dodging questions, like when he was asked how he plans to “carpet bomb” ISIS if there are also civilians, including women and children, in the cities.

Dr. Ben Carson:Pros: He is a political outsider, not

a Washington bureaucrat backed by lobbyists. Though Trump shares this trait, Dr. Carson is nicer and more politically correct.

Cons: Being a doctor, he clearly lacks the political experience vital for the job. Historically, outsiders with no political experience have suffered in the political field. At this critical point in history, it’s imperative that the US has an experienced commander-in-chief, not simply a nice outsider.

Donald Trump:Pros:Without the funding of lob-

byists, Trump is not bound to serve any corporation’s interests—a great trait at a time when lobbyists virtually control politics.

Cons: There are too many to list here. To name a few, he’s racist and constant-ly insults everyone, including women, veterans, Muslims and Latinos. He’s called on a ban on Muslims and wants to build a wall on the Mexican border to keep drugs and rapists out. People around the world despise him and are confused why he goes up in the polls; coupling this with his temperamental/impulsive nature, he might not be the best candidate for international diplo-macy. If anything, it is worrying that he’d have access to the WMD buttons. His main tactic is demagoguery, which people easily fall prey to. He plans to “make America great again” by scape-goating all of America’s problems on minorities, who he plans to ban and deport. Therefore, his supporters are mostly white supremacists. Many have compared his rhetoric to the Third Reich (at least its beginnings), as a fear-mongering bigot rallying rad-icals, while hatefully marginalizing other groups.

2014. In her paper, she explores what happens when one interprets every instance of the word “lie” as a pun in Hamlet. By the end of the study, it seems that Shakespeare’s message may be that “lies will kill you, but the truth will kill you faster.”

Biology major Nicole Jones wrote “Joining the Herd in George Orwell’s ‘Shooting an Elephant’” for a British literature class. Drawing research from several scholars, Jones explores the psy-chological effects of British imperialism on one’s sense of self. She proposes that

the influence of an oppressive society can rob a person of individuality, even when he is part of the “ruling class.”

English major Jo Jones’s piece, “Nihilism on a Sunday,” shows Friedrich Nietzsche’s influence on mod-ernist poet Wallace Stevens. Nietzsche insisted that true goodness and morality can originate only from oneself, which resonated strongly with Stevens. Having recognized this connection, Jo Jones performs a close reading of Stevens’s “Sunday Morning,” drawing attention to its ironically nihilistic message.

Jacob Berger, also majoring in English, wrote his piece “Parental Guidance Advised: Adolescence in ‘Romeo and Juliet’” to highlight Shakespeare’s message on the tragedy of child neglect. Elizabethan parents often devalued their children, and Berger posits that Shakespeare intended his play not as a simple tragedy, but as a warning to parents and children regard-ing their broken relationship.

Catie Godbold, another English major, wrote “The Monomyth in Ishiguro’s ‘The Remains of the Day.’”

In her paper, Godbold identifies the twelve stages of a heroic journey (characterized by Joseph Campbell as the “monomyth”) as experienced by Remains’s elderly main character. She follows the character as he develops and finally achieves a type of nobility more valuable than class: the “true nobility that comes with being superior to one’s former self.”

Students will present their papers over the course of the three-day convention. An award ceremony and banquet will take place Saturday evening.

“That God designed the sexes to occupy different spheres of action, and that it belonged to men to make, apply, and execute the laws, was regarded as an almost axiomatic truth,” held Bradwell v. Illinois, the U.S. Supreme Court rul-ing that affirmed the Illinois Supreme Court’s 1872 decision denying Myra Bradwell the right to practice law. This ruling reflected the common wisdom of its time. Women’s role in law en-forcement and similar occupations was generally limited to supportive roles, such as secretaries and police matrons who worked with women and children. However, long gone are the days where women were seen as doing nothing more than working in the shadows of a male dominated workplace.

To see women in law enforcement

occupations is now commonplace. Pursuing criminals, solving crimes, prosecuting offenders, providing indus-trial security and supervising offenders are just a few of the tasks carried out by women in today’s criminal justice system. Now women are assuming more and more administrative roles—just ask the panel of seven women who fielded questions from an audience last Friday in Turner Auditorium at the third annu-al Women in Criminal Justice event.

Sitting on the panel was Master Deputy Alison DeLaGarza of Wake County Sheriff’s Department; Major Karen Riggsbee of Raleigh Police Department; Anita Jelley, Region 4B Asst. President for American Society for Industrial Security; Campbell’s own Suzanne Matthews, Harnett County District Attorney’s Office; Lieutenant Denise Campbell of Durham Police Department; Campbell’s own Marion

Vandergrift, North Carolina SBI and Campbell’s own Jessica Bullock, Probation/Parole Officer of NC Department of Public Safety.

“Oh, I just can’t wait..” you know the rest of the words, don’t you? A childhood favorite is now on the big stage for Broadway and is touring at the Durham Performing Arts Center until March 20.

Campus Activity Board was able to bring students to DPAC to see The Lion King on opening night, Feb. 16.

“I went on the Lion King trip because I really wanted to see this play and heard great things about it,” sophomore Amber Chauncey, unde-cided major, said. “My favorite part was seeing the different scenes come together and resemble the movie exactly how I remembered it.” Being able to see the animals come together at Pride Rock at Simba’s birth and

seeing the Elephant graveyard were particularly fantastic.

Chauncey thought it was interest-ing how well the actors and actresses brought their characters to life.She stated that The Lion King is, by far, one of her favorite plays now.

Students had balcony-level seating and were able to get a bite to eat right in the heart of Durham before the show . The play was about two and a half hours long with one 15-minute intermission.

For one student, pre-veterinary studies major Junior Nicholas Brown, this wasthe second time he had seen The Lion King. “I actual-ly went on to see the show before almost 6 years ago, and it was great back then, so I wanted to experience it again. I knew a second viewing wouldn’t disappoint.”

Brown mentioned that the music was his favorite part of the show. “To be there and watch the musicians perform all the songs you’d sing along to as a kid—live, in front of you—was great to hear.”

“What stood out about the show was how the jokes changed since the last time I viewed it,” Brown said. “I like how the actors used modern songs, jokes and dances that would be appealing to the new audience. That was refreshing.” Zazu made a joke about how the stage curtain looked like a shower curtain from Target, and also mentioned joining the Cameron Crazies.

SGA hosts Student Life Forum

Making the most of your spring break

By Christian HornadayAssistant Editor

As students prepare to sign up for housing and decide where they may, or may not, want to live next year, the student affairs committee of the stu-dent government association will be holding a casual forum that will allow students to voice their concerns and ask questions.

“This forum is a new thing for us; we are trying it out to see what kind of involvement we can get,” said Stephanie Laird, senior pharmaceutical sciences major and executive women’s communi-ty coordinator.

Students are invited to bring any questions or suggestions they may have regarding registering for classes, sign-ing up for housing or just dorm life as a whole.

“Since it’s going to be after spring break, it’s what [they saw] throughout the year that we can maybe fix for next year,” said Laird.

While the main focus of the event is to improve campus life, students can also get to know the different clubs on campus through this event. The student affairs club is inviting all club presidents to attend in order to give students infor-mation on clubs that may either be new or not heard about.

The student affairs committee is made up of the executive women’s commu-nity coordinator, the men’s community coordinator, and other members of SGA—spread across different classes and interests. While their main event is#WearOrangeWednesday, the student affairs committee is hoping this forum will lead to more student involvement, which will allow them to better repre-sent the student body as a whole.

“We would like to see students come and ask,” said Laird. “We’re the main points of contact for campus life, so we’re there for them. Any [questions] they have, we would like to be able to answer it for them.”

Warmer weather has teased us with the reminder that spring break is slow-ing creeping up. Surely everyone must be neck deep in schoolwork at this point of the semester. Hang in there! Spring is coming, and of course it is a rite of passage for us college students to have a great break. If you have yet to set your plans, here are a couple of ideas that don’t have to break the bank.

Take a road trip. Take a chance on venturing to uncharted territory. All you need is a map, a little cash and your closest friends. Oh the places you can go! You’re really only limit-ed by your willingness to drive. Take a scenic route, or visit a city; many hidden treasures can be found in bigger cities including coffee shops, parks, restaurants and shoppes. For a longer vacation, consider staying with a friend’s family, cheap motel or KOA (Kampgrounds of America).

Look locally. If you look hard enough, you may find plenty of things to do without the hassle of travel. Going to movies, shopping and ice skating are also fun things to do to make the most of a stay-cation. However, if

you’re itching to do something dif-ferent, check out UniverSoul Circus, a ring circus performing in Raleigh March 2–13.

Learn a little state history. When asked what he would be doing for spring break, Jon Price, junior history major, said, “I will be participating in a live reenactment of the Civil War, acting as a confederate soldier, in New Bern, NC.”

There are plenty of historically significant destinations to tour in the state. Old Salem, Tyron Palace and the Biltmore estate are just a few ideas. Historic tours are relatively cheap and a really good way to occupy your day. Who knows, you may actually learn something about our great state.

Sand or Snow. It may be cliche, yes, but who wouldn’t want to spend spring break on the beach? A little sun glow may be just what you need to power through the second half of the semester.

Junior communication major Faith Klatt’s vacation will do just that. “I’m going to the beach, twice: one day in Wrightsville with a friend and then during the weekend I’m going to Myrtle,” she said. “I’ll also be working the Big South conference tournament.”

If you’re not much for sunshine and sand, consider a colder alter-native. Skiing or snowboarding is another option.

Make a difference. On the off chance that you want to give back this break, most charitable organizations are always in need of volunteers. You are not required to travel to help out; pick a cause that suits your tal-ents and volunteer locally. It’s a great way to be productive and helpful during the break.

Relax. You could avoid anything intellectual and give yourself that much-needed break. Read a book, sleep in, binge watch terrible movies. You definitely do not need to do some-thing extravagant to have a good spring break. Spending quality time with your loved ones can also be a wonderful way to spend a couple of days off.

Bailey Toma, a third year psychology major, commented, ”I’m going to be spending time with my family, I have three brothers so it’s always fun to be with them.”

There are plenty of options for you this spring break, whether you decide to stay home or go on an adventure. Make the most of it and enjoy your much deserved time off.

Six tips to rectify your resumeBy Taylor Mckaig Staff Writer

Some of you may be far too busy to think about resume building. Then again, some of you may find your-selves struggling to make your resumes stand out from a sea of applicants, all of whom are just as, if not more, qualified than you. The truth is that having an impressive resume is some-thing you need in order to get hired for that first job. Here are some sug-gestions for a rockin’ resume, if you’re willing to put in the work.

Keep it relevant. When you’re building your resume you don’t need your entire work history. Only list experiences that would be relevant to the position for which you’re applying. Work history should be ranked from most recent to earliest relevant experi-ence. This does not mean you should disregard your entire work history. Instead, keep a compiled list and adjust your resume as needed.

Tailor your resume for the skimmer. It is common for hiring managers to skim over resumes. If you create a lengthy and wordy resume, the reviewer will likely lose interest. You need to get your point across quick-ly. Try roping the reader in by using the top to bottom rule, which places the best points first. For length, a maximum of two pages is a good rule of thumb. This will force you to choose the most relevant information to share. Keep the document read-able by avoiding small font sizes and crammed text. In order to keep your resume in the same format, translate it into a PDF file.

Craft the content carefully. With regard to work experience, employers are most likely concerned with what

they are. Once each woman was fin-ished telling her story she would then welcome questions from the audi-ence. Catherine Cowling, Director of Criminal Justice at Campbell, came up the idea for such an event because she thought that it was an interesting approach to viewing the criminal justice system. Cowling said that hosting an event such as this provides students, particularly female students, with an awareness of career opportunities and successful women in the field of crimi-nal justice. “Students like to hear from

the participants to know what real life is like,” Cowling said.

“This event is very important because it gives an inside look at the perspective and feelings that women have while working as a woman in criminal jus-tice,” sophomore criminal justice major Casidy Havird said. She said that she feels as though Women in Criminal Justice is important to Campbell and all of its students because it allows spe-cial insight into how our civil service members give back to the community. “The Women in Criminal Justice Event

relates to the students at large because of its ability to empower women in the workforce, no matter what the field,” Havird said.

“Each of these women provided great advice, personal experiences and chal-lenges they faced as a woman in this field,” Lacey Nohe, sophomore criminal justice major, said. “They’re just as ca-pable as their male counterparts. These women earn my deepest respect.”

What made this year’s event particu-larly special was our ability to welcome home some “Campbell family.”

“Of course I was glad to see two former students doing well—one as a probation officer and one as an assistant district attorney,” Cowling said “We also had an adjunct profes-sor here at Campbell speak.I think it was wonderful.”

Officers of the Criminal Justice Association anticipate next year’s event to be even bigger and consist of a larger variety of professions. For those of you who are still around then, you might want to sit in and listen to what these women have to say.

you’ve accomplished rather than your day-to-day responsibilities. Think of all the talents you possess that are applied in everyday work scenarios and list those as competencies. If at all possible, include any quantifiable number or statistics. For example, if you help organize a fund-raising campaign, list how much you raised. This will impress an employer. Credentials are also important to include on a resume. This does not necessarily include your GPA, but it also isn’t limit-ed to certification. You’d certainly want to list all educational achievements, such as honors and awards.

Edit carefully. If you start to notice that your resume is very detailed, you need to edit it. In reviewing it, take out all information that is not essential. When you are finished, print the final copy and look over it. The eyes can catch many more errors on paper than on a computer screen.

Forget the objective statement. When potential employers look for new employees, the applicant’s desires are not their top priority. Save your “ob-jective statement” for the interview. It’ll be more impressive to voice your expectations face-to-face.

Keep it updated . It is a good idea to update your resume when you learn useful skills or become officially certified. By taking a little time here and there to refresh your resume, you can be more equipped to apply for new opportunities.

home because her family goes see at least one Broadway play every year. Stallings enjoyed the animal proces-sion in the beginning and how they incorporated the African language into the play.

“We were thrilled with the interest that students showed in attending the live performance of The Lion King at DPAC (two weeks ago),” said CAB Off-Campus Chair, Erin Mills. CAB members had seen The Lion King show in the past and thought this would be a great opportunity to offer Campbell students.

“The response was phenomenal – the 40 available tickets sold out before lunch on sign-up day, and everyone came back with great things to say about the trip. It’s proof that there’s always something exciting go-ing on in the Creek,” Mills said.

Campbell Baseball’s Cole Hallum was named to the Initial Stopper of the Year Watch List on Monday, Feb. 15.

“It’s a big honor,” said Hallum. “A lot of good guys were also nominated from different regions and at this level. It’s cool to get recognition like that.”

The senior is one of 70 on the list that have the opportunity to win the 12th annual National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association Stopper of the Year Award that is given to the top relief pitcher in NCAA Division I baseball.

Along with this nomination, Hallum was also named a Louisville Slugger Preseason All-American. Last year Hallum was the Big South Player of the Year, named to the Third Team Louisville Slugger All-American, First Team All-Big South, Louisville Slugger Collegiate Baseball National Player of the Week. He was also named Big South Player of the Week twice.

“I’m excited for him,” said Campbell head coach Justin Haire. “I’m looking forward to him being a big time stop-per for us at the end. If he can do his job and we can win a bunch of games, he’s going to get the chance to win some awards.”

Hallum contributes his success to his teammates. He works to do his best for them once they allow him to get into the position to close it out. And his teammates recognize his effort.

“He’s a hard worker on and off the field,” said fellow senior, pitcher Nick Thayer. “He’s a good teammate and has good offensive ability.”

Hallum transferred to Campbell his sophomore year from Bakersfield College. He felt that Campbell was starting a “winning tradition” and felt it was a place he could focus on baseball. Hallum also felt a “family atmosphere” and that these coaches could make him a better player.

Hallum said that playing for the team was “awesome.” “It’s a complete family; It’s a blast everyday we come out here.”

Haire said he enjoys having him as part of the team. “He brings a workman like attitude to the team and has been great for us and the younger guys.”

Hallum feels that as a senior on the team he is to set an example for the younger players. “It’s the senior job to show the younger guys what we expect in this program.”

Haire has high hopes for his senior closer and hopes that he can have a great final year. “I hope he can win a championship going out, get a ring, and hopefully get a chance to play pro-fessionally. From a personal standpoint, he’s going to be really good guy when he gets out of here and that’s something we take very seriously in our program.”

Hallum sees this final year as a “vic-tory lap” and wants to be able to go out with several wins under his belt but says he has a more ultimate goal: “A ring. I just want a ring.”

The Camels will be back in action Wednesday, March 2 against Duke at Jim Perry Stadium.

Senior leadership is one the main themes being echoed across the Campbell lacrosse team as they look to win the conference championship for 2016. The six seniors that are bringing the leadership to the team are Erica Hitch, Loren Day, Kaki Armiger, Jillian Summers, Rebecca Sheinfeld and Hannah Lamb.

April Reinhart was an original member of the 2013 Campbell lacrosse team but took a medical redshirt that year. In 2014, she started in five of the nine games she played in, scor-ing a goal against Presbyterian. Last year, the Vienna, Va. native caused 17 turnovers.

Hitch started her career as a fresh-man, starting all 13 games, scoring 33 goals and nine assists. As a sophomore, Hitch started all 16 games where she scored 32 goals and led the team with 18 assists and 50 points. Last year, the Eden, Md. native started all 18 games. She paired with Day as the highest-scoring players in the BSC and the second highest-scoring pair of teammates across the nation with 154 points.

“For my freshman year, the first ob-stacle that we had was not having subs and my second year we went through a coaching change,” said Hitch. “In my junior year, an obstacle was the lack of depth. Now in year four, we don’t have any obstacles in front of us.”

Day started off her journey in Buies Creek by starting in all 13 games, where she led the team in goals with 35 and 13 assists. Day was awarded to the Big South second team all-confer-ence as freshman. In her sophomore year, Day started in all nine games before going down with an injury. Last year, Day set the new single-season scoring record with 56 goals and 3.11 goals per game. She was named Big South Player of the Week on March 3, March 16 and April 12.

“It has been an incredible experience to come here, and not expecting a lot

going from a freshman to a senior,” said Day. “Watching our program grow, but also us as teammates grow, has been an incredible experience. For me, leadership is controlling the offense by trying to facilitate on that end.”

Both Day and Hitch are chasing after the all-time career points record at Campbell. Day leads in career goals with 124 over Hitch in second with 112. Hitch leads in career assists with 56 over Day in second with 45. Going into the season, Day has 169 points and Hitch has 168.

Lamb in her freshman year picked up seven ground balls and caused two turnovers.

“This is our last season out here and we are giving it our all,” said Lamb. “My career has turned out better than I could expect and we are looking to finish the season out and get a ring.”

Summers has been with the team since the program started in 2013. In her first year, she started all thirteen games and caused four turnovers. In her sophomore year, she ranked sixth in the Big South, with 2.57 ground balls per game and 1.29 caused turnovers per game in confer-ence play. Last year, Summers started in 16 games of the 18 she played in, picking up 26 grounds balls and

causing 13 turnovers.Armiger, along with the other

seniors, maintains the midfield posi-tion for the Camels. Armiger during her sophomore year grabbed 23 total ground balls including a sea-son-high four against Longwood in the Big South quarterfinal.

“I am looking for our seniors to put away their senioritis for a mo-ment,” said Campbell head coach Dawn Easley. “Next year there is going to be a new crop of girls com-ing in again, and I want the next generation to build upon what they have left. They will go down in the books forever in Campbell Lacrosse history, and we want to do it with championship style.”

Sheinfeld has started 43 games in her career as a Camel, which is third in all-time career records behind Hitch (47) and Summers (46).

“It has been awesome in the four years we have been here going from 12 girls with no subs to a now full bench with 25 girls on the team,” said Sheinfeld. “That, to me, is building a program and it now shows leader-ship with seniors in each position on the field.”

The next match for Campbell Lacrosse is March 3 at 7 p.m. against St. Francis (Pa.).
