This semester, Cameron “Where did the time go? has received many awards How can it be November and accreditation reviews for already?

We’re never done, representation. we keep pushing forward.” McArthur said he loved the McArthur expressed opening of the CU Duncan excitement for the increased
campus Biology laboratories shortly after Labor Day weekend. “The excitement for those students to finally have their own laboratory and be able to pursue a biology degree, chemistry degree, allied health and nursing in the Duncan location has been so great and special for us here,” he said. “The excitement on the students’ faces when they realized they could pursue their dreams from home really filled us with so much joy.” Along with the opening of the new biology labs at CU Duncan, the Lawton campus has also experienced a milestone: this semester the university initiated the start of a new seasonal sport: the women’s cross country and track team. “I have enjoyed learning about and getting to know the young women who are members of the new cross country and track team,” McArthur said. “It’s a new sport for us, and they have had astounding success in their first term. “The excitement they hold, it’s contagious, and I love watching students who love what they do and have a want to be here. It’s that hidden Aggie gold that lives in their joy and want to accomplish their goals that makes us who we are.”
Another achievement McArthur said made him excited was the introduction of the new associate’s degree in Strategic Communication, which will offer students another route for success as they make their way through college. “The faculty worked really hard to put together a package of classes for a two-year version of the Communication degree so that they can see public relations, marketing, media and writing in a short amount of time,” he said. “We’re hoping that what comes out of this is that students will get a taste of that success and continue on to get a bachelor’s degree.” McArthur said last, but not least, that his favorite achievement from the semester was the representation of not only the student body, but also of a student organization through a special event held to honor the memory and history of Indigenous Peoples through the first annual Indigenous Peoples’ Day. “This was Lawton’s first Indigenous Peoples’ Day,” he said. “We made a presentation to the City of Lawton, and they agreed to create that. I am really proud of the members of the student association with no help and no precedent and still doing
it all on their own. “They did a fantastic job bringing in the speakers, the dancers, the artists and the other events they’ve done to help the general population be a little more aware of the Native American population.” With there being no short in student and organizational achievements at the university, McArthur said Cameron wants to enhance the approachability and knowledge of the university through prospective students, so students can continue to be successful in their own ways here. “We are working on the functionality of the university,” he said. “We’re working on changing out our website to make that more approachable by prospective and continuing students. “Years now, we’ve heard ‘Cameron is a hidden gem’ or that we are ‘Oklahoma’s best kept secret,’ and we would like to be a little bit less of a best kept secret. We want more people to know about the wonderful education opportunities here.”

Remembering Lawton’s history Celeste Powell Staff Writer

From 3:30- 4:30 p.m., on Nov. 14, in South Shepler’s sixth floor lounge, Minnette Page spoke at one of Cameron’s History club meetings. Page is one of the five recipients who received the “Lawton Award in Excellence” at Lawton’s 115th birthday celebration in 2016. Page shared memories of living in Lawton, Oklahoma, and talked about the ways in which Lawton has been affected by national history. Page was born in 1932 and graduated from Lawton High School in 1950. She continued to be involved in the Lawton community by teaching in the Lawton Public Schools district for 32 years. After retiring from teaching, Page served two five-year terms on the Lawton Board of Education. At the meeting, Page spoke about obscure facts centering on the Lawton/ Fort Sill area. “Something you might find interesting,” Page said, “Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s husband was stationed at Fort Sill, and they lived on post in artillery village for a while.” She also shared her experiences of living in Lawton through The Great Depression, World War II and the desegregation of Lawton Public Schools. Through all of the decades Page has witnessed, she said she still believes that “the best part of the country is in the
middle” of history. Page considers the history of Lawton to be rich and extensive, but regrets that most Lawtonians don’t know much about their heritage. To combat this, Page serves and has served on many of Lawton’s committees to improve the community and spread awareness of the city’s historical impact on Oklahoma. Some of these committees include Lawton City Council, City Hall Preservation Committee and the Lawton Heritage Association. Page is considered to have been instrumental in leading efforts to restore the Mattie Beal House and old Lawton High School that is now City Hall. She also helped place Central Fire Station, the city’s only fire station until 1942, on the National Register of Historical Places in September 2016. Page said she believed there are faults in some periods of our history that still impact the country today. “Some of the United States’ wars haven’t been paid for,” she said. “Unfortunately, some of you all may end up paying for some of it, and I feel that’s wrong.” Page ended her visit with a warning: “Just remember history repeats itself so many times, and we do not listen.” For more information about Cameron’s History Club, send an email to cameron.historyclub@gmail.com
COFFEE continued from page 1 Reflecting on the past semester, McArthur took a moment to ponder on his fondest memory from his fifth year as the President of Cameron University. “Well, I look forward to each and every day, so I think every day just gets better,” McArthur said. “Looking back, Aggie Escape, the freshman orientations, being able to see the university through the eyes of a student who is
here for the first time—that is a special feeling for me. Just being able to see that sense of excitement and hope in the faces of so many young people.” McArthur asked to share a closing note to all students of the university as the end of the semester nears and they venture into new semesters, paths, and careers. “My hope for the holidays approaching and the semester
ending is for my students to have safe travels,” he said. “Make good choices, finish strong and finish with the same enthusiasm in life you had coming into the semester. “You have accomplished so much, and you are the reason Cameron continues to be a success no matter who you are or what you do.”

Netflix’s ‘The Haunting of Hill House’ Payton Williams

A family moves @You’reSoVanya into an old, sinister looking mansion, in this case with the intention of remodeling The Horror genre has always been it and selling it, and they discover that, largely disrespected in the eyes of serious within the walls of the house is something film criticism. far more grim than they can imagine. The reasons for this are clear. The On this note, I should also add that the mechanics of a horror story seem so house itself is spectacularly designed for obvious, that many aspiring filmmakers the tone of the film. The camera lingers choose the genre because they think it’s on shots of long, dimly lit hallways, and easy. If the formula is followed correctly, expansive rooms with dark corners, daring and a few jump-scares sprinkled on top, the the viewer to search every corner of the product sells; whether or not it’s good is an frame for something sinister. To this end, afterthought. But to my mind, the horror the house functions as a character in the genre is one of the most difficult to work story in and of itself. in. To make a truly effective horror film But even more than this, what makes requires otherworldly patience, passion and this series so interesting is the way it even a bit of cruelty. To keep the sense of transcends its simple story, and the dread and unease going for upwards of two trappings of the genre, to get at the very hours requires a gargantuan effort. nature of horror itself, and to mine fear In Netflix’s original miniseries “The out of things that are far less obvious than Haunting of Hill House,” Mike Flanagan viewers are used to. proves that he understands this better than The miniseries format is a great any living director, and that he manages opportunity, and unlike many directors in to maintain the dread for the length of an the past, Mike Flanagan doesn’t waste the entire miniseries proves to me that he may opportunity he is given. The characters be the only person working in the genre in this show are given a lot of room to
breathe, and to grow, and it is this very character development that makes this series so terrifying to me. The audience is given time to care about these characters, and to become involved in their lives. The narrative of the series jumps back and forth between the present, and 20 years earlier, when the family first moved to Hill House. As the series goes on, a remarkable thing happens: it ceases to matter that the scares are predictable. By this, I mean that, as the story progresses, even though the viewer knows the mechanics of the story and the genre well enough to see what will happen next, it feels less predictable, as it would in the hands of a less qualified director, and more cruel. As I was watching the series, I was struck by the feeling that, even though I knew what would happen next, more than in any other horror story I have experienced in the past, I really wished it wouldn’t. The scares in this series are not based on surprise, or anything cheap, but based on a sincere desire to see these characters end up okay, and the secret knowledge that
they won’t be. And another fascinating thing about this story is how it uses the characters feelings of grief and guilt, and uses them as tools to amplify the horror. Grief and guilt, after all, are emotions that can haunt a person, lingering for years in the subconscious even after a person thinks the pain is long gone. Grief and apparitions, in this way, haunt in very similar ways. Our fear of the unknown is directly linked to our fear of death, and our fear of death, being the ultimate unknown, is given physical form through the suffering caused by grief. Mike Flanagan truly understands this, and it is this understanding of the mechanics of fear that I think makes him such a fresh voice in the tired world of horror. In this series, Mike Flanagan reminds us that what truly terrifies us is not the invisible thing making those bumps in the night, but rather what the thing might mean to us. He reminds us that we’re not scared of ghosts, we’re scared of the loss, loneliness and death that ghosts represent to us.
From the page to the stage The method behind the madness Celeste Powell Staff Writer
A month before the opening day of “Living Together,” the space for the performance was unadorned. Cameron’s “black box” theatre is a space with plain black walls and a flat floor that allows flexibility in the formation of the stage and audience seating. In order to transform a “black box” theater into a set for a period play, it’s about the details. It’s about establishing the setting in every aspect of the audience’s senses—music, lighting, accents. The writer described it as a “very dirty brownmuseum” in need of repair, the set charmingly followed this in their attention to detail with water stained blotches, tears in wallpaper and falling wall molding. Transforming a decades old British play for a modern, American audience requires extensive research—for those who weren’t alive, anyway. A believable period play marries every element visible from props to set to costuming. Kelsey Hood, costume and make-up designer, said researching is only half the battle. “As much fun as it is to do a period show, they’re a lot of research,” Hood said, “A lot of perpetrations goes into our shop building our own costume pieces.” Articles the Cameron costume shop made were period jackets, dresses, an apron and all men’s actors pants. For the actors, research took a multifaceted approach—understanding both the decade of the 1970s and the dialect of a British accent. Cole Nowlin, performance theatre major, began preparing for the role by considering aspects of the different country’s popular culture. “Specifically, for British accents, there’s so many verbal ticks to work off of,” Nowlin said, “If you just grab

I’m capable of growing.” “Living Together” succeeded in transporting the audience 43 years back in time, situating us as a silent bystander. Just like a cat stuck in a tree. For more information about the Theatre deparment, contact Scott Richard Klein at scottk@cameron.edu.

into the spotlight, who offer some fierce competition against Trump’s rule. One of these people who I think has a great chance if he decides to run is Beto O’Rourke, who ran a very tight race against Ted Cruz in the Texas Senate race. Although he has stated that he had no desire to run in 2020 after his defeat to Cruz, O’Rourke has recently stated that he is no longer ruling it out. O’Rourke is definitely a breath of fresh air when it comes to the choices we have right now, but that does not mean he will be nominated. I say this because no one has officially said that they are running for president aside from a couple of people no one has heard of, and if this race is anything like in 2016 when there were a lot of Republicans seeking the nomination, it can only be certain that there will be just as many Democrats when 2020 rolls around. Not only is it possible that a Democratic opponent such as O’Rourke can beat Trump, but it is also possible
that the president may face some opposition from those in his own party. According to Bloomberg, Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, who ran against Trump for the 2016 Republican nomination, said that he is considering the possibility to run again, either as a Republican or an Independent. If this were to happen, it would perhaps be the most devastating blow to Trump’s chances at reelection considering any event that may change the minds of those in his base. Nonetheless, Trump knows how to win, and by looking at what kind of person he is, he may even twist the rules a bit in order to do that. Although things may not look so good for him at the moment, with this president in office it seems that every hour is a day and every day is a year, so anything can happen. Just like a wolf lashes out when it gets cornered, Trump is starting to show his fangs like never before, and he will be more likely to use every resource he has to defeat his opponent.

Now that we realize how our society would benefit from a new prohibition on alcohol, should we attempt to go through with it again? My answer is the same if we replaced alcohol with marijuana in the above question: no. We can’t allow the government to decide what we put in our bodies in our own home on our own time. The Republican party constantly preaches about personal responsibilities. I agree with the Republican party on this sentiment.

Magic Lantern Film Society
‘The Postman Always Rings Twice’ David Perkins Staff Writer
At 7:30 p.m., on Nov. 16, in Cameron’s CETES Conference Center, The Magic Lantern Film Society held a free public screening of “The Postman always Rings Twice,” a 1946 film noir classic based off a 1934 crime novel written by James M. Cain. As part of the organization’s 37th annual classic film series for the 2018-19 academic year, “The Postman always Rings Twice” was the last of four movies screened this semester. Cameron University English professor and faculty advisor for The Magic Lantern Film Society Dr. John G. Morris said that the organization will be hosting four more screenings in the spring. “We currently show eight films a year,” he said. “We’d like to get back to showing five each semester or about ten a year, but for now, we show eight.” During each film event, guests are recieve free popcorn, refreshments, coffee, hot chocolate and a raffle ticket for the chance to win a five dollar gift card for Family Video. Each screening begins with a brief introduction of the film. All screenings are open to the public and free of charge, but donations are always welcome. Morris said that a Graphic by Victoria Orndorff

Giving tree Drue Watkins Managing Editor
On Nov. 27, the Cameron University Foundation started its Giving Tuesday donation campaign. All proceeds from the event—which included tax free donations—will be gifted to the Campus Closet located at the Cameron Village. To promote the event, the Association started the hashtag #CUGIVINGTUESDAY on social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat. Director of Development for University Advancement Lorie Garrison said the Campus Closet is all about supplying Cameron students. “The main goal of the closet is to provide free basic and essential items to students in need. Blankets, kitchen items and cleaning supplies seem to be the most popular items that students seek when visiting the closet. “Since its opening in 2017, the closet has served over 100 students who may not have access to basic day-to-day necessities.” Although the official event was on Nov. 27, Garrison said donations are accepted for students all year long. “During this season of giving, we could not think of a greater way to give back to the students who need it most.” All money that is raised from Giving Tuesday and all yearround will be spent on items for the closet. Garrison said they plan on keeping the closet as stocked as possible. “When students do not have to worry about whether they have the basic necessities that many of us often take for granted, like blankets and laundry detergent, they are able to focus more on their academic endeavors.”
significant amount of the organization’s funding comes from donations received at the screenings. CU English Professor Dr. Dean Clement one of The Magic Lantern Film Society’s volunteers, said the majority of the funds goes to licensing of the copyrights to each movie. “We actually get a better rate on the rights to the film if we are not charging at the door,” Clement said. All of The Magic Lantern films are DVD presentations. Film suggestions are encouraged and can be made anytime by visiting www.cameron.edu/ magiclantern/criteria. html. Only classic films that have been out for at least ten years and have received critical acclaim are considered. The scheduled screenings for the spring semester of 2019 are: “Encounters at the end of the World” on Jan. 18, “Sea of Love” on Feb. 8, “Stage Door” on March 8 and “Chinatown” on April 12. All screenings will take place at 7:30 p.m. in room A of the CETES Conference Center except for the screening on March 8, which will be held in the Shepler ballroom.

CU FALLS TO BISONS
GEARS UP FOR LSC PLAY Katie Lvingston Sports Editor
On Nov. 24, The Cameron University women’s basketball team fell 87-73 in their home game against Harding University. The Aggies have been on a five-game losing streak since they fell against Oklahoma Christian University in the second game of the season and are struggling to regain their footing before Lone Star Conference play begins. Cameron was sluggish in the first quarter of the game, allowing Harding to take a lead of 42-27, with Cameron shooting 26.2 percent from the f loor and going 1-13 from the three-point range against Harding’s 53 percent, going 4-8 from three. Harding was able to keep their stride at the beginning of the second quarter of the game, gaining a 17-point lead. Cameron fought back with a seven straight and a three pointer, still unable to overtake the lead and falling in the second quarter at 21-15. In the third quarter the Aggies were able to regain their footing, taking Harding by a two-point margin and closing out the third quarter at 24-22. Senior guard Parfitt McNair lead Cameron by fighting for her team in the first 20 minutes of the game, taking 11 of her career-high 25 points and going 3-6 from the f loor and 5-6 from the free throw line. Later, in the second half, she shot 6-12 from the field, adding on 14 points. By the end of the game, Cameron hit eight out of 28 shots from the perimeter and finished out by shooting just under 40 percent from the field. The Bisons shot 35.7 percent from three, and 58.3 percent from the free throw line, shooting 52
percent from the f loor. With the loss, Cameron is now at 2-4 on the season and Harding moves to 4-1. Senior English Major Sandesh Pokharel hopes that the team will be able to pick up their pace as they get deeper into the season. “A win could mean they pick up the pace and end the season strongly,” Pokharel said. “I think they have potential to do a lot better than they have been doing.” Either way, Pokharel said that the distraction from finals is a good enough reason to get out and support the team. “They [the team] contribute to school spirit,” Pokharel said. “Watching them makes me forget that I have two essays due next week.” Head Women’s Basketball Coach Emma Andrews also hopes that students will come out and

I mean it’s more than just being on campus it’s being involved in those extracurricular activities.” The Aggies’ next game will be at 3 p.m., Dec. 8, in the Aggie Gym against Lubbock Christian University. Lubbock is 6-2 with both losses on the road. A complete Aggie men’s and women’s basketball schedule is available online at cameronaggies. com.
