Administration stresses importance of weather policy Jessie Goodson news editor With the recent hurricane and class cancellation last Monday, many students have become concerned about Berry’s weather policies. Since Berry is a majority residential college, the administration tries to stay open and can withstand heavier weather than most schools. “Berry College administration will do their best to keep the college open,” Assistant Vice President for Campus Security and Emergency Response Management Gary Will said. But in cases like Monday, when the Rome area is under a state of emergency, Berry decides to cancel classes and close the campus. Will said that Berry has a representative that attends monthly meetings with the Rome-Floyd County Local Planning Committee. This committee meets regularly to discuss weather and policies regarding the safety of Rome

Possum Trot alumni return home to Berry Cassie LaJeunesse deputy news editor
This Sunday, the Possum Trot Church held its annual Homecoming service. Possum Trot has hosted this service since 1955, the year after the Possum Trot School was closed. Possum Trot Church is a small, wooden chapel surrounded by three buildings that were used as classrooms starting in the 1930s. The chapel served as a gathering space and auditorium for students of the school. Worried about a lack of Bibles, Martha Berry painted scriptures around the walls of the chapel that are still there today. The Homecoming service follows the same order from year to year and is followed by dinner on the grounds of the church and a hymn sing in which attendees request and sing their favorite hymns. The service itself consists of hymns, prayer and a student speaker. This year’s student speaker was senior John Anders, who spoke about his faith and his journey at Berry. The tradition of having a student speaker at the service was started by Martha Berry herself. According to senior lecturer in education emeritus Mary Outlaw, a former student speaker named Ted Phillips used to attend the Possum Trot Homecoming every year. From his time at Berry, Phillips went on to have a career in education and was president of Brewton Parker College from 1957 to 1979. The service this year was attended by current Berry students, Possum Trot alumni and their families. “Our school has an incredible history, and being able to meet some of its earliest students was an incredible expereince,” junior Sarah Cooper said. Martha Dodd McConnell started school at Possum Trot in 1936 and has fond memories of the school, as well as of Martha Berry. She said that Miss Berry was always sweet and friendly, but always seemed to be in a hurry. McConnell recalls that Martha Berry used to bring a cake to Possum Trot on her birthday and celebrate with the children. She also remembers visits from “The Pilgrims,” a group of wealthy donors to the Berry Schools. “They always made us feel important [as students],” McConnell said. McConnell’s brother, Wesley Dodd, recalls the bus that picked up the children who lived on campus for school each day. Because it had chicken wire instead of windows, students nicknamed the bus “the chicken coop.” McConnell remembers that Mondays through
PHOTO COURTESY OF BENJAMIN L. WALKER Possum Trot alumni (L-R) Genoka Parker, Wesley Dodd and Martha Dodd McConnell attended the service. Thursdays, the three schoolteachers rode the bus with the children. On Fridays, however, the teachers were driven by the principal at the time, Elsie Andrews Ford. “Those [Fridays] were happy days on the bus because the teachers didn’t ride with us,” McConnell said. According to the Dodd siblings, students of Possum Trot learned skills such as woodworking, gardening, cooking and sewing. McConnell remembers that each spring, the girls who were graduating agreed on a pattern and fabric and then made their own graduation dresses. Possum Trot students also did the maintenance on the school buildings. McConnell said that although they were working, the students always had fun doing maintenance and spring cleaning.
Everyone who attended the Possum Trot Homecoming service on Sunday was invited to stay afterwards for lunch on the church grounds.

Berry maintains Title IX policies despite possible changes Claire Voltarel staff writer In response to statements made by U.S. Department of Education secretary, Betsy DeVos, on Thursday stating that national Title IX guidelines have failed and will be reformed, Berry College will maintain its campus sexual misconduct policy. In order to better prevent false accusations, DeVos proposed to incorporating a “notice and comment” period into Title IX investigations of sexual misconduct. The process allows for insights from all parties, including reporters, respondents, staff, professionals and the public in general. Devos did not state the specifics of these Title IX changes, nor when they are to be implemented. Due to this ambiguity, Berry will not take action. “Our intent is not to do anything different in the short run,” dean of students and Title IX coordinator Debbie Heida said. “There’s not been a proposal yet for us to react to. So at this point, we [will] keep on doing what we have been doing.”
According to Heida, the current Title IX system has not failed. However, there are sensitive aspects involved in the sexual misconduct policy. “One of the things that is difficult to manage in any Title IX case [is] how to balance both the reporter and the respondent,” Heida said. “Both are our students, and both have rights and responsibilities on the college campus.” Through this difficulty, Berry’s goal is to maintain a safe and comfortable space for victims. For Debbie example, Berry’s sexual misconduct policy does not require students to report to the police, while many Georgia assemblies are pushing for this requirement. According to Heida, though students are encouraged to report to police, it is their personal choice to make.
“What you don’t want is anything that creates a chilly climate for people to report,” Heida said. Even before Obama’s “Dear Colleague” letter in 2013, which established investigation standards, Berry set their policy, having used these standards prior to changes. The standards required college to use preponderance of evidence in sexual misconduct cases. Preponderance of evidence, the lowest possible standard of proof, refers to the idea that the Heida report evidence presented is more likely true than not. According to Heida, this standard has always been in Berry’s policy. “No matter what happens in the process, it is a really difficult decision to report and go through a process,” Heida said.

History + X History majors at Berry College can now supplement their degree with a specific concentration. The new program is called History + X. It provides students with the opportunity to select one of eight topics to pair with their history courses. The eight concentrations include enterprise, environment, gender, global issues, justice, public, technology and writing. The unique program was implemented by the history department to provide clarity for students interested in pursuing a history major, but are concerned about possibilities of future careers.

“A great advantage of this is that it puts right in front of you ways that you can tap into Berry’s resources, such as great programs, and put them together in ways that make a lot of sense,” Stanard said. “A specific goal of the program is to set out more clearly to some students who might be looking for guidnace on how a history major might play into a particular kind of career.”
This program is mainly directed at future students, but it is open to existing students as well, and some are already expressing interest. “The history major does not change, so there is a likelihood that we could make it work for current students since a bunch of hours are not added, but it might be a challenge if you are an advanced student,” Stanard said.

Professionals help students get hired Kendall Aronson asst. arts & living editor
On Sept. 19, the Career Center hosted mock interviews on Berry’s campus to help students practice interviewing in a friendly and stress-free environment. The mock interviews were led by a former Berry alumnus, who offered compliments and constructive criticism to help students improve. They will be offering more of these sessions throughout the school year, as well as other events like etiquette dinners and networking workshops. The Career Center was established to help students become more prepared when applying for jobs and internships. Sue Tarpley, the director of the Career Center, helps to organize many events each year to help students feel more prepared to enter the job market. “National research says that employers are looking for people who can communicate well, both in written and verbal formats,” Tarpley said. Interviewing for a job is a large part of the hiring process, so it is important that students practice for them. “The interview is where your skills come to life, and they’re going to see if they like your personality,” Tarpley said. “First impressions are huge. Being able to demonstrate the type of person you are and being able to communicate that is a really good indicator of whether you’re going to be a person they want to hire.” Tyler Gwynn, supervisor of human resources at Cobb County

College,” Gwynn said. “The students are all very kind. They are all ready to go into the classroom.” Before students can get to the interview though, potential employees need a good resume. Gwynn reads thousands of resumes each year. They all look the exact same, and they are boring. They all have the same objective, and great GPAs. He is looking for what really makes a candidate stand out. “A lot of the time I ask young candidates ‘What’s the one thing that separates you from the rest?’” Gwynn said. “Nine of ten times that thing is not even on the resume, or it’s at the very bottom or on the back in a bullet point. That makes no sense to me.” Dougherty sees a lot of excess information on many resumes he looks at, such as a lot of descriptions of job duties. He prefers a few key notes and lets the conversation drive the rest. “I’d like some very high level bullet points that you can ask probing questions about and that you can actually speak to,” Dougherty said. The Career Center offers a lot of different tools to help students craft their resumes. “Your resume should look towards the future and what you’re planning on doing,” Tarpley said. Tarpley says the job search is a lot more complicated and competitive than most students realize, so they should start early. Having someone there to help can eliminate a lot of the extra work or unnecessary steps of reaching goals. “Coming to the Career Center can help kickstart that process and move quicker than trying to figure it out on your own,” Tarpley said. In addition, the Career Center is there to help students build a resume, learn how to network, practice interviewing, connects students to industries and Berry alums and even craft an elevator speech. The Career Center is open from 8-5 p.m. on weekdays.

Viking football hopes to hang on to SAA title Evan Sale sports editor Undefeated Berry and Centre College football teams meet Saturday at 6 p.m. to determine whos winning record will stand. Both teams are 3-0 and remain undefeated in the SAA conference. Both teams look to remain undefeated, but the Colonels will also be seeking revenge. The Vikings beat them out of the conference championship last season. Berry and Centre have built up a strong rivalry that will continue this weekend. “They’re coming with their best team because they lost the conference to us last year, and we’re coming with our best team to fend them off.” Sophomore offensive line Jacob Bishop said. “They are planning on coming with a lot of intensity, and were going to match that intensity.” Adding to the intensity of this game, the Colonels are bringing the
SAA defensive player of the week, senior linebacker Andrew Busby. On the other hand, the Vikings have the SAA offensive player of the week, Sophomore receiver Mason Kinsey. The Colonels defense gives up an average of 22.0 points per game, while the Vikings offense scores on average 30.7 points per game. On paper, the matchup looks like it is going to be a close one. “We are preparing for this game just like it’s another game.” sophomore running back Jacob Collins said. “We are ready to go. The scout team is playing just like Centre, preparing us for the defense and offense that they run. The winner of this game will win the conference.” Either team that wins on Saturday will continue the undefeated record in both conference and non-conference play, and the winning team will control their future in the conference rankings.
