Campus groups promote Suicide Prevention Month Hannah Carroll staff writer

September is recognized as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and features dates that initiate the discussion of suicide and how it can be prevented, including Sept. 10 as World Suicide Prevention Day and Sept. 10-16 as National Suicide Prevention Week. It is a month geared towards removing the stigma and shame associated with suicide and allowing the chance for prevention to occur.

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), suicide is the tenth-ranked cause of death in the United States with approximately 45,000 lives taken by it in 2016 alone. Rates have increased by 30 percent since 1999 and approximately 123 deaths by suicide each day, stated by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (ASFM).

While most suicides occur for white males between the ages of 45

IN THIS ISSUE

and 54, it is still a crucial topic to discuss with young adults as suicide is the second leading cause of death for those in between 15 and 19 years of age, according to the CDC. Through its various programs on campus devised to help students and promote good mental health, Berry is continuing this discussion as September progresses.

A central influence and advocate for mental health is Peer Educators, a group of students who research methods for promoting healthy habits and distribute them to the student body. They create Pot Thoughts, flyers addressing certain topics concerning wellness of students that are hung inside bathroom stalls. They also speak to BCC 100 classes and residence halls and table to bring awareness to issues like drug and also alcohol abuse.

Peer Educators rarely address suicide directly but often target mental health issues or stressors that could lead to suicidal thoughts and emphasize methods of maintaining good mental health that aids in the prevention of suicide, according to

senior and Peer Educator Rachel McCord.

Another integral resource in students’ lives is Resident Assistants. RAs are specially trained by the Counseling Center to recognize potential warnings of suicide and to aid students who are seeking guidance. On Sept.

10, Berry RAs also participated in an event to spread positivity and remind those who are hurting to fight for life.

RAs such as Mackenzie Bryan and Becca Harper hosted a postcard writing party, entitled “The Postcard Project,” where participants wrote notes of positivity and affirmation that will be sent to patients institutionalized in mental health facilities. The purpose of the project was to raise the spirits of those going through certain tribulations and encourage them to continue living.

The Counseling Center also provides professional counselors as a resource for students. Counselors are available to students by appointment and offer guidance to take the necessary steps

towards a healthy mental state.

All information disclosed is kept confidential, unless the student is determined a risk to him/herself or to others, according to McCord. A counselor is on-call 24/7 through the Counseling Center, which is located in the Ladd Center.

Methods of suicide prevention can also be attained outside of resources provided by the college.

Marshall Jenkins, licensed psychologist and director of counseling, said that a step to a healthy mind is promoting a life of resilience, which emphasizes factors such as strong personal relationships, maintaining an adequate amount of sleep and practicing good hygiene. Social integration helps to reduce the risks of suicide and good physical health assists in having good mental health, according to Jenkins.

Jenkins also emphasized the importance of reaching out to those who may be struggling.

“Empathetic listening is protein for the psyche,” Jenkins said.

Establishing a bond and tending to it is a step toward healing for

those who may be contemplating suicide.

Suicide is typically associated with mental illness, but according to the CDC, 54 percent of those who committed suicide did not have a known mental illness or disorder. Therefore, it is important to recognize risk factors that can raise the chance of suicide.

According to Jenkins, some factors to watch for are : depression, drug or alcohol abuse, changes in character or personality, attempts to get affairs in order and displays of farewells.

NEWS Students encouraged to practice safe cycling Michaela Lumpert deputy news editor Each year, many students choose to bike to and from classes, but with a recent increase in accidents on campus, there are a few tips bikers can heed in order to bike safely around campus.

Before getting the tips, students should understand the rules behind biking. Georgia Code Title 40 details all the rules that involve biking. Rather than reading the entire code, here are the basics students should know.

Helmets must be worn by anyone under the age of 16.

Berry students, most of whom are over 18, are not required to wear helmets, but are encouraged to use them at their discretion.

Only one person should be sitting on the bike at a time, which means that trying to put other students on the handlebars or on the back of the bike is not allowed.

In the city of Rome, it is illegal to bike on sidewalks, and anyone caught will be ticketed. However, on Berry’s campus, this law isn’t strictly enforced because it is a private school, and students can choose to bike on sidewalks or the street.

Students can ride bikes in the street around Berry as long as they adhere to the proper traffic laws that all cars follow, such as stopping at stop signs and yielding the right of way.

In order to avoid accidents around campus, the biggest tip students can follow is to always be aware of their surroundings.

“Most of the bicycle incidents that we work involve a bicycle coming off the sidewalk, riding into the roadway,” Police Chief Jonathan Baggett said.

Most of the other accidents on campus happen when bikers assume that no cars are coming without looking both ways. In the archway between the Admissions Office and the Alumni Center, there have been two accidents because of students that haven’t checked to make sure that cars were not entering the roundabout before going.

Over the past years, other accidents have included a variety of different instances of students not being aware of other motor vehicles or other bikers. A little over 20 years ago, a girl was killed after another biker hit her head-on driving down the main stretch of campus. Also, because of the many accidents that occurred on Stretch Road between bikes and cars, the administration staff decided to construct Viking Trail so that bikers can safely bike to Mountain Campus.

Keeping this tip in mind can save students from accidents that could harm not only themselves, but others around them.

Baggett said that implementing rules may not solve the problem of bicycle accidents, but staying aware and attentive while biking can save someone from an accident.

Isabella Stern | CAMPUS CARRIER According to Title 40, the Georgia state traffic code, passengers cannot legally sit on the handlebars of a moving bike.

“Berry’s a good place for bikes, people just need to be aware,” Baggett said.

New scholarship promotes leadership through service Annie Deitz staff writer This year is the first year of a new scholarship program being offered at Berry, the Service Fellow scholarship. Similar to the Leadership Fellow scholarship, the Service Fellow scholarship aims to further fellows’ leadership skills by teaching them how to inspire community engagement.

The four-year program gives students an opportunity to enact on Berry’s motto of “not to be ministered unto, but to minister.”

Currently, the scholarship program has five members. Service Fellows program director Stephen Swieton explains that as

far as expansion of the program goes, plans are to admit five new freshman every school year, ultimately resulting in 20 members of the program, with five from each class.

Each class will spend their four years in the program working on a project that will enhance community service at Berry.

“It’s more about encouraging students to get out and serve than it is about going out on their own all the time and serving,” said Swieton.

As far as the first five service fellows, their project is just beginning. Each month, the group has a “project meeting.” As the year continues, they will continue discussions with people at Berry in order to figure out how and what to implement in terms of service. Preferably, students will

have their project idea nailed down by the end of the year. In actuality, Swieton said he can’t be sure about whether or not this is the best implementation, seeing as this is the program’s inaugural year.

“We’re getting a background and doing research so that we’re making sure that what we’re doing is best for Berry, not just for any campus, but for our campus,” Service Fellow Claudia Evans said.

Evans predicts that the program is going to help her grow as a person, as a student, and in service.

“It’s completely about service, but it’s helping us grow as people also,” Evans said.

Swieton and Evans both have high hopes and expectations for the program. They believe that they will be able to help people

get involved in the community, and in that, they will improve people’s lives.

“I hope that what we do improves the campus, that students will not just think of service as a one time thing, but do it in their life daily,” Evans said. “Service just gives you a feeling that you’ve contributed to the community, and you have a sense of…

I don’t know how to describe it… just that you’ve connected to someone, and helped someone.”

Swieton said that students often participate in campus service events, like First Year Service or Martin Luther King Service Day, but end their involvement in service there.

However, Swieton believes that this program will help students know how to get involved in a bigger way.

Ford Auditorium to receive updates next year Kelsee Brady staff writer

In late 2017, Tom Kennedy, Dean of the Evans School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, announced that the planned Ford Auditorium renovation would not begin until all funds were raised. Nearly a year later, the project has 57 percent of its $5.3 million budget from a total of 315 donors. President Stephen R. Briggs said that construction may begin as early as May 2019.

The Ford Auditorium renovations are part of what Briggs referred to as a “life cycle update”.

It will include plans to maximize both seating and the size of the stage. 366 seats will be arched around the stage and the balcony will be upgraded, providing a better view of the stage.

Stefanie Cash, Director of music education, also noted that the new ceiling, which will be entirely made of wood, will create an improved acoustical space to rehearse and perform in. She is most excited about the opportunity the renovated venue will provide for student performances, master classes, and recitals.

The Ford auditorium is a part of the complex that was built and named by Henry and Clara Ford in 1928. Scott Breithaupt, associate

vice president for advancement, is in charge of the Ford renovation details and fundraising. He stated that outside experts have been involved in the architectural aspects of making the Ford Auditorium a first class recital hall. However the Ford Auditorium will still keep many of its key features and the exterior of the building will not be altered. The interior renovation plans to keep the skeleton of the structure.

This summer, a fundraiser took place honoring the 90th birthday of Ouida Word Dickey, a cherished Berry College alumna and donor.

The monetary goal for the event was to raise $500,000. Every dollar contributed was immediately doubled by a matching donation of $250,000. The total amount raised from the Dickey birthday challenge was $580,000 total from 210 donors. An interesting feature of the Ford Auditorium will be the Donor Wall that will display the names of all donors who contributed $5,000 and up. Breithaupt encouraged any students, family or faculty to contribute to the cause because as he said every dollar helps.

Due to the success of the donation in honor of Ouida Word Dickey, the Ford living room in the Alumni Center will be named the Dickey Living Room on Oct. 7 at 3 p.m.

However, his actions seems to have bypassed those who truly needed to understand. No action was taken, no resolution was brought about.

As consumers and voters, we should want the companies and politicians we support to be outspoken. Controversial issues in our country aren’t slowing down. We live in a world of injustice and inequality, sadly that does not appear to be changing. However, the best way to handle those faults of ours is not to disregard them. They need to be talked about. National companies such as Nike maintaining the conversation is an amazing start, but it can’t stop there. Social rhetoric won’t always be pleasant, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t exist.

The Carrier’s editorial opinion represents the views of the senior members of the Campus Carrier and Viking Fusion news staff.

Confessions of a commuter

The

Campus Carrier

JOSH MABRY asst. sports editor Let me start by saying that as a first-year transfer student, I have enjoyed my experience at Berry so far. The students and professors are friendly and helpful, and the campus is beautiful.

I understand that most students at Berry are residential, but there are a handful of commuter students, like myself, that are often overlooked. Berry should consider being more commuter- friendly to better assist the needs of these students.

One thing that Berry could do to help commuter students would be to try to drop as many Friday classes as possible. Not having classes on Fridays is a schedule that some University System of Georgia colleges, like Georgia Highlands College, follow, and it works successfully.

To achieve this, all class periods would be made the same length. For example, Monday

and Wednesday classes would be the same amount of time as Tuesday and Thursday classes, meaning there would be no Friday classes.

I realize that this would be impossible for all classes because of certain circumstances, however, it could work out nicely for most classes.

Not having classes on Fridays would better serve commuter students because it would save time and money on gas. Traveling to and from the school every day requires a lot more money and energy than other residential students may experience.

Even though the main group of people that this change would benefit would be commuters, I do not think residential students would complain about not

having classes on Fridays either.

Another area where commuter students could feel more included is when a big event happens on campus. It seems that most events happen on the weekends or at night at Berry. It is fine to have the weekend and night events, but having a few during the day as well would make commuter students feel more included.

It is hard for commuter students to come back to campus at night or on the weekends to attend the events that are held.

More areas for commuter students to relax and do homework on the main part of campus would also be beneficial.

There are the library and the common areas outside and inside

Berry should consider being more commuterfriendly.

of Krannert, but most of the time, these areas are crowded at any point throughout the day.

It would be nice to have some tables in a quiet area that offers a beautiful view of the campus. This is not a concern for residential students because whenever they want to relax, they can simply go to their dorm room. However, for commuter students, having space to be able to relax and work would be great for those two-hour breaks between classes that many students have. It’s impractical to go home during those breaks, so there should be more places on campus designed for relaxing.

If Berry decided to adopt these ideas, the school would be more commuter friendly, and there could potentially be an increase in students from the Rome and northwest Georgia area that decide to attend the college.

Find alternatives to pesticides

BUSINESS MANAGER Carson Oakes ASST. BUSINESS MANAGER Bailey Hanner

JAMISON GUICE asst. features editor In August, the lawsuit facing the major herbicide company, Roundup, wrapped up with a conclusion that the ingredient in the weed killer results in cancerous effects.

Herbicide glyphosate was the ingredient that was responsible. It is also found in almost all commercial weed killers, not just Roundup.

It has been known that weed killer is not a friend to the environment so the news that it is an enemy to the body has encouraged me to embrace the old gardening practices that my parents love. Each generation of my family has contributed to the backed-up knowledge that now clogs our ‘gardening book’ at home.

One alternative for gardening is sprinkling coffee beans on the plants. The trick is to not put too many coffee beans or it can affect the growth of the plants. This will not keep every bug away, but it can act

as a natural repellant and will still keep the veggies safe.

Another alternative is to make an oil spray. Mix a tablespoon of both vegetable oil and soap together in a spray bottle filled with water. Spraying it on your plants will decrease the bug population.

Watered-down essential oils can also deter the unwanted critters. Using the oils, however, can also kill helpful fungi. The light smell, lavender for example, can also provide for a nice scent when walking by.

Even isolating some plants in a small greenhouse can prevent certain bugs, or even animals, from pillaging. While this requires a bit more dedication, a garden is a place that deserves it. We have seen that shortcuts, such as weed killers, can have disastrous effects.

Using alternative methods for everyday activities can cut down on pollution and

ADVISER

save on spending costs. While this may sound like a history lesson from middle school that vaguely resembles the lecture on the dust bowl, the dramatic soil degradation and misuse of commercial products have allowed the diminishment of land across the United States. The overuse of weed killer has caused the weeds to develop a resistance where eventually gardeners have to either use more (which is bad) or change to a different brand, which is probably owned by the same corporation. Instead, there are healthier, safer alternatives which can be imployed, to the benefit of the soil, and yourself.

Through outside-the-box thinking, applying different methods can inspire actions that lead to change. Even a small impact in your area is still an impact and can potentially contribute to the gradual improvement of the soil.

The Berry Eagles: In March of 2012, a student informed Renee Carleton, assistant professor of biology, that he had seen a bald eagle on Berry’s campus. This was the first sighting of the now world-famous Berry eagles. “[The student] told me it was behind the Cage Center, which is unusual because normally you would find an eagles nest right near water, like a lake, river or reservoir,” Carleton said.

Carleton now serves as the official scientific advisor for matters regarding the eagles, due to her knowledge of ornithology, the study of birds.

“I am really the only ornithologist that we have at Berry, so it naturally kind of fell to me to advise on any matters regarding [the eagles],” Carleton said.

Because of her knowledge of their nutrition, behavior and overall health, Carleton has been able to monitor the eagles throughout their stay on campus. After the eagles first arrived, the first camera was placed on a light pole near the nest. It was an approach camera and was able to show the very first eggs hatch in late December of 2012.

When the eagles returned in 2013, another camera was added.

“It was pointing down at the nest and everybody could see what was going on, and that was really when [the eagles] began to gain popularity,” Carleton said.

The cameras sent a live feed to the Berry Eagle Cam website that allowed viewers the opportunity to see what was happening in the nest.

This sparked interest in viewers nationwide and extended to places such as Japan, Sweden and New Zealand. The Berry eagles also have a Facebook page.

“We can really view so easily and see what is going on in the nest that people really form an attachment with them,” Carleton said.

A Facebook group called the B3 Branch Buddies even donated a new viewing scope, located behind The Cage, in memory of the eaglet that died in February. The eaglet fell out of the nest, which is located in a 100-foot-tall pine tree, according to the Berry Eagle Cam website.

If the eagles return by late September, it will mark their seventh season at Berry. Carleton said that as long as the tree where their nest is located remains undisturbed, eagles will always reuse their nest.

Student small businesses shine at farmers market Alana George asst. arts & living editor

Saturday was the bi-annual Berry Farmers Market, held in Clara Bowl, offering a variety of goods.

According to senior Laura Combs, the marketing team lead for the Berry Student Enterprises, the Enterprises started the market in an effort to connect the Enterprises with the greater Rome community, and to generate some publicity. All of the Berry Student Enterprises brought things to sell, including vegetables, herbs, eggs and even furniture. There were also stalls manned by local artisans, selling their own jewelry, woodwork and produce. Among the stalls lining Clara Bowl were a few Berry students who brought their own handmade wares to the market to sell.

Junior Jessica Clements is the owner of Clementine Design, an Etsy shop specializing in hand-lettered art.

The name came from a nickname given to Clements by one of her high school teachers and Clements said that “it just worked” for the name of her shop. The shop has been in operation since mid-June of this year and Clements loves running the business.

This was her second market; she was able to do the

summer market in July. She was inspired to start the shop by her mother, who does a lot of woodworking.

Clements said that she is quite talented at calligraphy and lettering, so it just came naturally to her.

One of Clements’ favorite pieces she has done is a blue and green watercolor globe, with accents in metallic gold ink and the word “explore” on the top in white ink. She loves this piece because she loves to travel, and she got to experiment with mixing inks.

Clements hopes to continue vending at Berry’s markets, and to expand to markets in the Rome community.

Juniors Emma Duke, Mariana Novakovic, and Jacquelyn Pierce started their business “Plants & Pastries” very recently; this Saturday was their first time at the Berry market. The business had been an idea of theirs for a long time, and the girls were very excited to debut their booth at the market.

The whole endeavor started with the three best friends who love plants and love to bake. Even more so, they love bringing the feeling of home to their college environment and they wanted to expand to a wider audience than just themselves and their close friends. Among the items they sold were miniature pumpkin pies made in Mason jar lids; they all love the idea of a pie on the go. They are hopeful to continue

their market stand next time and continue to bring the feeling of home to their student body.

Junior Josie Hadaway has been doing watercolor calligraphy for the past three years. She said she was bored one day, so she watched some videos online and started painting. It came very naturally to her, so she painted often. She then realized she needed to sell some of her pieces, because her collection was growing rapidly and her Etsy shop, Written by J, was born.

Hadaway has since expanded her selection from watercolor calligraphy to tote bags, chalkboard signs, greeting cards and wooden signs (one of her personal favorites). She loves market days; she has participated the Berry market every year and she plans on coming back in the summer. Hadaway hopes to continue to grow both her business and her fan base in the future.

For students who wish to participate in future markets, Combs recommends emailing the Student Enterprises, as well as following them on social media.

“We always post about if we have upcoming sales and we post ways for students to get in contact with us if they are interested in being a vendor,” Combs said.

“A lot of our students had really successful sales, so (the farmers market) is a great way for them to get their name out there too.”

Alex Hodges arts & living editor Tonight, two-time Grammy-nominated Australian saxophonist and composer Troy Roberts returns to Berry with his recent release, “Nu-Jive Perspective.”

Roberts is based in New York City, and he maintains a busy performance and recording schedule around the world. He has worked with some of the biggest names in jazz today, including Joey DeFrancesco & The People, the Joey DeFrancesco Trio and The Jeff “Tain” Watts Quartet.

Coordinator of Fine Arts Programming Adam Hayes said that this is Roberts’ third time on campus. His last visit was as a guest soloist with the Berry Jazz Ensemble for the statewide Georgia Association of Jazz Educators (GAJE), which was hosted at Berry in December of 2015.

Roberts is back, this time with the company of his currently touring group Nu-Jive, to celebrate the release of his eighth record, “Perspective.”

Roberts’ return, while it is as much by popular demand, is owed to John David, the director of jazz studies at Berry.

“It is truly an honor to have Nu-Jive on the Ford stage Thursday night, and I can’t wait to hear them live again,” David said.

Other than yielding performance material, inviting such talented artists to Berry’s stages has additional benefits, one of them being the exposure of students to experienced mentors.

Senior music major Jermaine White was amongst the student musicians who John were previously influenced by Roberts’ presence.

White believes he has grown as a musician since Roberts’ last visit.

“I have had some time to process his and other great musicians’ information and morph it into my own ideology. Getting to work with him now will definitely give me a different insight

into what he is doing,” White said.

In the past, Berry has hosted many renowned artists such as Keith Carlock and Franky Quinones with the jazz ensemble, and Donovan Stokes, who composed a concerto to play with the orchestra. The recent jazz ensemble concerts drew a lot of attention. The Afro-Cuban jazz concert was standingroom only. With the attention that the jazz ensemble has been getting for the last couple of years, it follows suit to invite Roberts and Nu-Jive to join the Berry College Concert Series.

David Seeing such a renowned group as Nu-Jive is a rarity, so students are encouraged not to miss the opportunity to see Roberts and his band of merry musicians.

“They are one of the best groups in jazz today – do not miss this show!” David said.

It is truly an honor to have Nu-Jive on the Ford stage Thursday night.

Berry athletes named SAA ‘Players of the Week’ Joshua Mabry asst. sports editor Several Berry athletes have been recognized as Southern Athletic Association (SAA) athletes of the week this semester.

Two of these athletes are senior Tate Adcock and junior Meredith Herman. Adcock was named “Football Offensive Player of the Week” for the week of Sept. 3 for his work in the game against Maryville, while Herman was selected as “Women’s Cross Country Runner of the Week” for the same week.

Adcock, a senior quarterback, said that it is good to receive the award and he is proud of it, but it was not his biggest concern.

Going into the Maryville game, the Vikings knew that it was going to be a tough game, according to Adcock. They had to work a lot on offense.

“My offensive line did their job, my receivers did their job, I just got it to the open guy,” Adcock said. “I came out with the award and it’s nice to have, but the biggest thing we got out of the game was a win and growing as our team.”

Adcock is optimistic about the rest of the season for the Vikings. “Speaking on the offensive side of the ball, we’ve really grown a lot. I feel really good about the future and what it holds,” Adcock said.

Tony Kunczewski, head football coach, said that he is very proud of Adcock for receiving the Player of the Week award.

Kunczewski said that during Adcock’s sophomore year, there were two good quarterbacks including Adcock on the team.

The other quarterback was unable to return this season.

“Adcock really assumed the leadership role,” said Kunczewski. “He came here and worked his tail off in the summer. I think he prepared himself to be the best he can be this year.”

Kunczewski said that he is proud of the

“I think it has shown up not only in that first week against Maryville, but it showed up last week against LaGrange as well,” Kunczewski said.

“He’s playing at a high level because he’s prepared himself to play at that high level.”

Being awarded “Women’s Cross Country Runner of the Week” was very important to Herman.

“It’s my first time being named ever, even in high school and through my college running career,” Herman said.

Besides winning conference, this was the only individual award she has ever received for cross country, Herman said.

“Just being named something like this was really awesome,” Herman said. “I’m really grateful for it. I’m really proud of myself for it.”

Herman’s goals for this season include being in the top five in conference, top 20 in the region and making it to nationals.

Although in the past she has been really close, Herman said she would like to go all the way this season.

“I’m really excited for this season. I can feel that I’m so close and I just have to put in the work for it,” Herman said.

Paul Deaton, head cross country coach, was excited about Herman receiving the recognition of “Runner of the Week”.

Herman will be a significant part of the

“She is a wonderful runner,” Deaton said.

“She has had a lot of success in her first two years and a lot of improvement. Meredith is competitive, as well as fast and competitive at the right times.”

Deaton said he believes that the same three teams that competed in the conference championship for women’s cross country last year, Rhodes College, Centre College and Berry, may compete again this year.

“We’re very fortunate to be one of those three,” Deaton said. “It will be quite a season to see how it all goes. My expectations are to be competitive.”

Views from Myrtle Hill PHOTOS BY CAROLINE JENNINGS | CAMPUS CARRIER

Myrtle Hill Cemetery is located south of downtown Rome and across the South Broad Street bridge. Notable people buried here are Thomas Berry, Martha Berry’s father, Ellen Axson Wilson, the first wife of President Woodrow Wilson and various Civil War Confederate soldiers. Before becoming a cemetery, the hill was used as an 18th-century battle site between General John Sevier and the Cherokee people.
