Water main breaks

Segway rides raise money

Natalie deMacedo News Editor

Kelsey Drapkin Collegian Reporter

Construction workers caused a water main to break Monday morning on West Street near Simpson Residence leaving campus buildings without water. cer Rich Péwé said the workers were insulating the water main in preparation for the cold winter. Usually, the mains need to be buried deeper underground to avoid freezing, but Pewe said insulating the pipe is much less invasive.

In the process, a cap on the water main was nudged by construction equipment, Nate Rusk with the Hillsdale Board of Public Utilities said. These caps are placed on the main to make it easier for residential housing to plumb their houses, if new homes are ever built. Péwé said, in this case, there used to be a house near the location of the cap.

The main broke around 9:30 a.m. according to Pewe, but was repaired by noon. Nearby buildings, including the Dow Science Center, Dow Leadership and Conference Center, and Simpson Residence, were without water during those three hours.

“Hardly any water trickled out of the faucet. I looked out my window and noticed a stream of water rushing down the south side parking lot,” O’Sullivan said.

Hillsdale, you’re on the air Tom Novelly Collegian Freelancer Thousands of radio listeners tune in each week to a conservative talk show recorded in the apartment of a Hillsdale student whose guests have included Herman Cain in a segment called “The View From Hillsdale.”

Junior Richard Caster in 2009 was serving as the head of the Ozark Tea Party in Arkansas when he was approached by Scott Gray, the owner of Arkansas 97.1 Mountain Talk Radio and asked to create a program that would broadcast conservative and tea party views to a wide radio audience in Arkansas and a national audience online.

Caster achieved that goal, broadcasting a weekly show to 50,000 listeners that achieved so much popularity that he even broadcasted from the Iowa Presidential Debate, Washington D.C, and the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida.

“I love the show,” Mittermeier said. “I’m glad it is a product of the Tea Party. It is a testament to the education of the movement and it is an example of how it is far from being dead. The diversity of the audience that listens shows how inclusive the Tea Party is.”

Caster is not stopping there.

He said he hopes to expand the show to an even larger audience in Arkansas and hopes to one day even feature President Larry Arnn on the show.

“The goal is to get him on the show before I graduate,” Caster said.

Walking around the quad last Friday, students may have noticed an odd sight: Assistant Dean of Men Jeffery Rogers riding on a Segway.

As part of a fundraiser that brought in more than $600, the psychology honorary Psi Chi gave Segway campus tours to 31 students and faculty. Psi Chi will receive a percentage of the proceeds, which will be used for future Psi Chi events.

“We are really grateful for all of those who came out to support us today,” Psi Chi president senior Katie Norton said. “We had a lot of fun, and it was great to see so many faculty and staff getting involved, too.”

Deans Diane Philipp, Aaron Petersen, Rebecca Dell, and Jeffery Rogers all took rides, along with 10 other professors. The remaining 21 slots were taken by students, leaving only one empty timeslot.

“I mean, I did it because, you know, Segways. They are awesome,” senior Antoni Germano said. “I did it for Psi Chi, not just because of the people in it, but also because there is a lot to be learned from psychology. I thought it was cool that to spread awareness of psychology and what it can do, they brought in a machine that operates purely on the slight body movements of a person.”

Senior Bridget Surmont has wanted to ride a Segway for years after seeing an early prototype at a museum. She jumped at the opportunity to support Psi Chi and

Local theater nominated, doesn’t win Bailey Pritchett Spotlight Editor With 11 nominations, Encore Michigan ranked Tibbits Theatre of Coldwater in the top four theaters in the state for the 2013-14 theater season.

Although the theater didn’t receive an award, executive director Christine Delaney who attended the ceremony said the attention from the nominations has helped business.

“There was a lot of great competition,” Delaney said. “We were still honored to receive the nominations.”

The nominations excited theater members.

“What the Tony’s are for Broadway, that is what the Wilde Awards are to Michigan,” volunteer liaison Pam Kasprzyk said.

“These nominations are great word of mouth advertising. The community is very proud of us.

We’ve received all kinds of congratulations.”

Tibbits’ most nominated show was “The Producers,” which received four nominations, placing the show in a four-way tie for most nominated production with “10:53” and “Cymbeline” of Williamstown Theater in Williamstown and the Michigan Shakespeare Festival’s “The Importance of Being Earnest.” On Monday night, “The Importance of Being Earnest” won the Best Comedy.

Encore Michigan, a theater review publication, distributes the awards annually to every theater that is a member of the publication.

Eligibility for an award is determined a show running length

requirement of four consecutive days or two weekends. This season, Encore Michigan reviewed 225 productions of 49 participating companies. More than 80 shows were granted a nomina-

Provost Whalen’s son teaches English Chris McCaffery Student Columnist

Benedict Whalen, son of Provost David Whalen, is spending a year on campus as a visiting assistant professor of English.

Students ride segways to raise money for the Psi Chi psycology honorary.

“Riding the Segway was a lot of fun,” Surmont said. “When lenge to navigate, but within the hang of it. The campus tour was fun, although going down the hills was a little scary. Going uphill was great because you felt like you were going really fast but were still completely in

Students and faculty had the chance to experiment operating the machines on an agility course in which participants were asked to weave in and out of a set of cones. do the weaving exercise with a hat with a pingpong ball on top that “could not slide off or get blown off by the speed of our Segways or by our carelessness.” so participants switched to having a pile of cones on their heads.

turn out too well,” Germano said.

Psi Chi hopes to do more events like this in the future, with the possibility of bringing the Segways back to campus.

“If students liked this event and would be interested in us bringing the Segways in again, we would love their feedback,” Norton said.

Norton was also sure to acknowledge the help of members of Psi Chi in putting this event on. She also noted special thanks for Associate Professor of Psychology Kari McArthur, Psi Chi adviser.

“We really appreciate everything [McArthur] has done for us this year for both the department and our honorary,” Norton said.

“We are especially grateful for the amount of work she put into this event solely to see students and faculty smile today.”

New German professor stands in for Geyer “I am confident that Dr. Bollen will do a fine job” Breana Noble Collegian Freelancer A new face joined the Hillsdale faculty Monday as Lecturer in German Magelone Bollen took over for Professor of German Eberhard Geyer.

Geyer will no longer be teaching for the rest of the semester due to a “serious health concern.” He was scheduled to have heart surgery this week.

Although Bollen will be teaching Geyer’s classes, Geyer said he will be available for online consultation starting Oct. 5 via email. As chairman and director of the German study programs, Geyer will be working in work starting early November, but plans to return to full-time teaching next semester.

According to Associate Professor of German Fred Yaniga, Bollen is a native speaker of German. She has experience in teaching beginning-level, upper-level, and classical German coursework, not just in the United States, but in Germany and Switzerland as well. She came to the states in 2000 and graduated with her doctorate in German Literature and Language from Michigan State University in 2013, where she did teaching and was a research assistant.

“Dr. Bollen comes highly rec-

ommended to us from her professors and colleagues and our own Dr. Naumann, who knows her personally,” Yaniga said.

“Dr. Bollen has visited our Hillsdale campus and is excited to begin working in the classroom and even in some of our extracurricular programs. She has remarked to me how friendly her welcome has been thus far.”

“I feel very welcome here.

It’s a warm atmosphere,” Bollen said about Hillsdale.

Bollen said she is also excited to be able to teach both traditional and modern topics in German texts.

“Teaching the German literature course was a great opportunity. I am really looking forward to it,” Bollen said.

According to Mark Maier, assistant to the provost, long-term substitute positions like this are somebody who can just drop in, particularly with classes like Dr. Geyer’s classes,” Maier said.

“Like the 201 class, some meet four times a week. A lot of the time when we have visiting faculty come in, they teach a night class or they teach a class that only meets two times a week.

We’re really fortunate we could with Visiting Assistant Professor of German Stephen Naumann, whom she met in graduate

Bailey Pritchett Spotlight Editor Steve Mitchell of Mitchell Research and Communications is one of the top pollsters in Michigan, working on campaigns for governors, U.S. Senators, and the 1984 Regan-Bush election.

How did you get into polling?

I started out as a political science and history major. I started teaching American history and government at the high school level and at the junior college.

When I was 28, I thought it would be fun to own a bar. So I got into the bar business. Although I worked for a congressman when I was 21, who won a my college education during the Vietnam War, so I wouldn’t get drafted. So I didn’t go to work in Washington.

I failed in the bar business. In 1979 I was hired by Dick Posthumus, head of House constituent relation staff for the Republican caucus in Lansing. Part of my job at lunch time and on the weekends was working on candidate elections. He went on to become a senator, the longestserving Senate majority leader in Michigan history. Most candidates did not have professional

taught me how to poll samples. I did that successfully and helped elect four Republicans. In 1982 I managed a U.S. Senate Republican campaign. He ran for U.S. Senate and lost so once again so I was out of a job. So I decided, “Gee I could do this job.” So I became a pollster.

I started working for candidates around the country. In ’84 I worked for Reagan-Bush in Washington state. After that I came back, bought a computer for $5 (in today’s dollars that is $1,000) I created a phone bank with 20 phones in East Lansing because I was going to hire Michigan State students. And I launched my career.

What is the largest mistake reporters make when they read a poll?

I think the biggest mistake reporters make when they look at polls is they don’t ask enough questions. What methodology was used, the number of people that were interviewed, whether people were registered voters or likely voters, and what questions were asked on surveys prior to asking the ballot questions ‘Who’s ahead and who’s behind?” And asking to see a questionnaire that may have biased a response. The news media has a

gage with students at a school like Hillsdale.

“I’ve long desired to teach in a liberal arts school, and A&MCorpus Christi was not a liberal arts school,” he said. “So the draw of the students and a small liberal arts environment were the primary reason I came here. So far, it’s been a delight to teach these students. I’m very excited by what the students bring to the classroom. We’re able to make some leaps and bounds that I’m very proud of.”

Sophomore Andrew Egger described Whalen as “super awesome, super chill, super genial.” He said he enjoys how Whalen presents material during class and appreciates the unique way he approaches literature.

“One of the awesome things about him is that he has a much greater emphasis on the oral learning of poetry than I’ve had in previous English classes,” Egger said. “So we spend about 10 minutes at the beginning in class doing oral recitation of poetry.”

Outside of the classroom, Whalen enjoys spending time with two young boys and his wife of seven years, Lisa, a Dallas native who he says is unaccustomed to the harsh Michigan winters. He said he also enjoys playing guitar, camping, and training his dog.

On working with his father, Benedict said it offers a different perspective than the familiar relationship he knows.

“I have loved talking with dad when I sort of casually visit on vacations. It’s a funny different thing to see him in meetings as the provost and whatnot,” he said.

Professor of English Stephen Smith, who is on sabbatical for a full year. This semester, he is teaching two sections of English 105, Great Books in the British and American Traditions, as well as English 320, Renaissance British Literature: 1550–1660. He hopes to teach a 400-level survey of Renaissance lyric poetry in the spring semester. Michael Jordan, department chair and professor of English, said Whalen’s background in the great books, Renaissance literature specialty, and great recommendations made him an ideal match.

Whalen, who has not lived in Hillsdale since childhood, said he’s happy to be back in the place he remembers from years ago, but that there are subtle differences.

“It’s interesting to return to a place that you remember with a child’s imagination but not with an adult’s knowledge,” Whalen said. “It’s funny, not even having driven here much, I don’t know the street names. I have to re-learn basic things like that. I do have visual memories that are quite strong, of different locals and where I’d wander around as a kid.”

The Whalen family moved to Hillsdale when Benedict was around 9 years old. He left town to attend boarding school for his secondary education, followed by the University of Dallas for an undergraduate degree in English. He graduated from Dallas in 2008 and went on to University of Nevada, Las Vegas, earning a doctorate in English in August 2013 with a dissertation on Renaissance drama and Reformation debates.

responsibility to make sure that a poll is unbiased.

What is a common myth about polling?

Somehow people are going to vote for the candidate that’s ahead. That people want to get on the bandwagon. I started polling this issue 25 years ago in Missouri and Illinois and we found one candidate was going to win but they were going to vote for the other candidate anyway because they didn’t care that he was going to lose. He supported what that candidate stood for. That’s a great myth that somehow polling moves the public to go one way or the other.

What is the most interesting race that people should keep their eye on?

I think two gubernatorial races that are going to be fascinating are Wisconsin and Michigan.

Because Democrats have really poured enormous amounts of money into both Michigan and Wisconsin trying to beat Rick Snyder and Scott Walker because of their votes in support of passage in legislation on right to work. In terms of U.S. Senate, we all know the big races. It’s that pack of eight or nine U.S. Senate races that will be interesting to watch.

having him as a teacher; he’s really funny. I hope to have him as a teacher next semester too.”

“I cried,” said Amelia Stieren, a sophomore in Geyer’s class. “It’s tough because he is really incredible and inspiring, and challenges us to learn and think on our toes, but at the same time, he is gracious and does such a great job at explaining. I was really excited to have him, but I’m looking forward to seeing him next semester.”

Chris McCaffery Student Columnist The annual Naval Battle will be held this Saturday in Lake Winona.

Simpson, Galloway, and Niedfeldt Residences will be representing the British, Spanish, and French naval forces at 1805’s Battle of Trafalgar, respectively.

The annual event, held by the Cravats and Bluestockings club devoted to British regency-era literature, culture, and history, was cancelled last year because the original location in the Slay-

ton Arboretum pond became unusable after new, expensive submerged aeration mechanisms were installed and the grassy areas were reseeded.

Lake Winona, which was recently cleared of brush and weeds, is now safe as the new location. According to senior Anna Talcott, who is organizing the event, students should walk right side of the road.

Students from all of campus, not just the three main residence halls, may participate in games cardboard boats are permitted.

Climbing wall opens Wednesday Of 50 student applications, eight students hired to instruct rock climbing Kat Torres Collegian Reporter

The Roche Sports Complex’s rock climbing wall is projected with a few minor details still not completed. The operating hours are projected to be similar to those of the swimming pool and other facilities, but nothing has The new rock climbing wall adds to a state-of-the-art facility that also includes a brandnew arena, weight room, dance studio, future golf simulator room, and basketball courts. As the wall’s completion date approaches, anticipation has been

building.

“When I sent the email out about those interested in being climbing instructors, I had about 100 emails in return expressing their interest,” Director of Recreational Sports Brad Kocher said. “About 50 out of the 100 had experience, and of those 50, only eight were selected. I was really impressed with the number of those who wanted to work here.”

Requirements for the instructors include knowledge in belaying - the support system to ensure safety for the climber - as well as basic safety guidelines, and instruction.

Sophomore Cecily Parell, one of the selected instructors, expressed her enthusiasm.

“Rock climbing was a huge

part of my life in high school,” Parell said. “I am so excited to be able to work with students who maybe aren’t involved with other sports on campus, and hopefully get them to fall in love with something that has become my passion.”

The number of students interested in working the rock climbing wall has given Kocher a good idea of how high the interest is for students wanting to use it.

“It’s a little bittersweet because, if it’s wildly popular, we will have to get creative and think of ways to keep it interesting and hire more instructors,” Kocher said. “But it being popular and a fun activity for the students is what we are wanting. The interest in how many

students wanted to be instructors is a good indicator of how many students I am expecting are wanting to use it.”

Sophomore Allison Duber, a lege and an active participant in the school’s recreational program, said she was eager for the opening.

“I am so excited for the rock wall to be open because this wall is way better than any I have been on before,” she said.

“It will be a fun and different activity to do when I’m wanting to do something different than running. I know a lot of people have talked about trying it and are wanting to bring their friends.”

Student perfects gluten-free beer Shane Armstrong Collegian Reporter Hillsdale College senior Matt Drogowski, along with Associate Professor of Chemistry Chris Hamilton, found a way to brew gluten-free beer during his summer chemistry research.

With more and more people deciding to go gluten-free, the science community has been searching for ways to take gluten out of more foods. People are able to enjoy gluten-free pizza, cookies, and even beer.

Drogowski took over the research from past students and carried on with the experiment.

The research involved brewing a Sierra Nevada Stout Clone, an American stout, and a Bell’s Oberon Clone, an American wheat ale.

“Dr. Hamilton had begun the research with other students and

wanted to take the project further,” Drogowski said.

In order for a product to be sold as gluten-free, it must be less than 20 parts per million.

Drogowski’s beers are less than them well under the Food and Drug Administration’s required limit. There are many breweries in Michigan with “low-gluten” beers that have not been able to get the gluten levels below the FDA limit. The success of his experiment has Drogowski getting some phone calls from Michigan breweries.

“Michigan is great for brewing and a lot of the breweries here want to have a gluten-free product” Drogowski said.

Many Michigan breweries have an interest in gluten-free beer. According to the Short’s Brewing Company website, the Bellaire, Michigan, brewery has made low-gluten pale ales and lagers but none with a low enough gluten level to be con-

sidered gluten-free. Companies like Short’s and their customers Drogowski’s.

One of the concerns about gluten-free products is taste. After the beer was ready, Drogowski conducted a triangle taste test involving his beer with two others. A triangle test involves two similar products and one different and the person tasting has to identify the different one. In the tests, more than half the tasters could not identify which one was different.

“The response was pretty positive overall,” Drogowski said.

“Most of the people couldn’t tell which beer was gluten-free.”

The tasters were asked to compare the aroma of the three beers, the taste, and how the carbonation felt in their mouths.

“I really couldn’t tell the difference,” senior Rachel Warner, a taster, said. “All three of them were so similar in all three things that it was hard to tell them

ence.”

Even some of the people who could tell the difference in the taste test actually preferred Drogowski’s brew to the other beers.

“Myself and several others preferred Matt’s gluten-free Oberon Clone to the glutencontaining one he made. If I had the chance to buy it in a store, I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up a six pack or two,” senior Wyatt McDonnell said.

Instead of pursuing brewing full-time, Drogowski has elected medical school for the time being. He hopes to continue brewing on the side.

“I will be going to medical school next year but I will always be interested in brewing,” Drogowski said.

If medical school doesn’t work out, Drogowski has a bright future in the brewing industry.

From A1 ship position roles, but active participation. One thing I would really like to do is give the grad school a greater understanding of what’s going on with the undergrad side of things, and I think it will help bring the two communities together in a way.”

In addition to the proposed amendment, senior Sam Holdeman was sworn in to replace junior Dominic Restuccia, who is at WHIP this semester. Holdeman had the next-highest number of votes from the last election.

“I’m really happy to be on Student Fed, because it’s such a great organization,” Holdeman said. “I’m looking forward to all the events we have planned.

I can’t wait to help with homecoming and being on the elections committee.”

Also, two new clubs were approved. The Investment Club will be an organization dedicated to learning and practicing printhey will be investing monies in different stocks in order to learn more about the stock market.

The Symposium Club will be a group dedicated to teaching Hillsdale students about conservatism. They hope to read books by conservative authors and bring in guest speakers.

A 20-year-old student weighed down by a backpack full of Latin homework versus a 2,000-pound car cruising at 40 miles per hour. Does that sound This is a daily occurrence students face on the streets surrounding Hillsdale’s campus and needs to be remedied. A student is hard-pressed to cross the road without engaging in frenetic calculation about the speed of oncoming cars in hopes to reach the opposite curb unscathed.

for two easy routes that are both, ironically, extremes: hookups or “hillsdating.” Neither are the ideal, but both are popular choices for hormone-driven young adults at college to test the waters without committing to anything whatsoever.

However, the truth of the matter is that most of us at Hillsdale will not leave this campus with the security of knowing that a future husband or wife is waiting at the end of the graduation stage.

In reality, we will have to pull ourselves together and learn how to interact with others if we want to get to know someone. We won’t have the network of interconnected friends to help us sort out conthis attitude, and we need to begin by cultivating a more open attitude towards rejection. deterring the heartache and irresponsibility to be found in dating before you’re ready. Yet the process of discarding such an important concern in one’s life as dating is simultaneously a twisted interpretation of the sexual liberation movement and a setting-back of years of improvement in gender roles.

Neither party can experience the immense joy that is making room in one’s life for an “other,” or the bittersweet yet edifying

Casey Harper Student Columnist The frenzied media continues to wonder why Hillary Clinton will not announce her run for president.

But the answer is obvious.

The clamor erupted as the forthat looked a lot like a campaign tour. Last week, Jon Stewart on “The Daily Show” mocked Hillary and the media in a segment called, “Willary or Won’tary,” focusing on media hype when Hillary Clinton attended an Iowa steak fry that had political pundits sizzling.

They expressed frustration that Hillary was disingenuous for failing to make her intentions clear.

But she knows exactly what she’s doing. Hillary is waiting to see

crucially, it produces skittish young people afraid to date until they have found “The One.” The progress made in gender relations is stunted further every time a girl and a boy refuse to acknowledge their feelings and erect between themselves a barrier of concealed thoughts, guilty feelings, and evasive terms like “courting” (if they even make it that far). Girls become shy about interacting with boys, and those boys expend all their energy trying to impress those girls by making an impressive Ping-Pong shot or taking a shot of liquid courage

imperfect solutions. Going on dates with someone in order to get to know him or her better is not committing to a relationship with that person. To date means to show acknowledged interest and to follow up on that interest intentionally, even if not exclusively.

College may be the last time that you are surrounded by so many like-minded peers. So, ask someone on a date. Ask multiple people on dates. Doing so is not being a “player.” It is being upfront and honest about your feelings. No relationship, whether it is platonic or romantic, can survive in the absence of honesty. And when you meet someone with whom you have a genuine connection, acknowledge it both publicly and privately. In such mutual acknowledgment is found the commitment of which we are all so afraid; dinner or drinks is not a marriage proposal.

whether the Benghazi bombshell is a dud or if it will sink her campaign.

The scandal, largely dismissed by the mainstream media, was followed by troubling reports of Clinton aides and the State Department — known for protecting their own — hiding evidence and impeding investigations. Despite the Clinton camp’s efforts, the evidence is mounting.

Last week, the Daily Signal reported that Hillary’s chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, oversaw a team that sorted through Benghazi-related documents and removed anything that could make Hillary look bad.

They have a State Department source on the record saying he helped with the undertaking. This is only one of a slew of reports.

In a revealing documentary, the Blaze uncovered documents that showed that the same chief of staff helped block investigations into prostitution, drug use, and charges of pedophilia in the State Department. That same documentary begins by reminding viewers of a chilling exchange during a Benghazi hearing between Former Deputy Chief in Libya Gregory Hicks and Representative Jim Jordan (ROhio): Hicks: I was instructed not to althe Acting Deputy Chief of Mission and myself to be personally interviewed by Congressman Chaffetz.

Jordan: So the people at State told you, don’t talk to the guy who is coming to investigate?

Hicks: Yes, sir.

Jordan: Have you ever had anyone tell you, don’t talk with the people from Congress coming to Hicks: Never.

Clips like these, and reports from the Daily Signal, will prove great fodder for conservative groups and the Republican nominee. But Hillary may have more to worry about from a Democratic primary race.

The Wall Street Journal reported at the beginning of this month that Democratic fundraisers claimed Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley said he would run for president regardless of Clinton’s decision. If the bombshell explodes the Hillary campaign, O’Malley could slide in as the Democratic nominee. From a long shot to the only shot for the Democrats, and all in less than a year. But that’s the nature of scandals. They have a way of changing careers forever.

When a republican accuses a Clinton of corruption, it doesn’t stick. Those “conspiracy theorists” and “right-wingers” have been doing it for years. Those are probably the same people who think Obama came out of the womb praising Allah on Kenyan soil.

But when a reputable democrat like O’Malley begins a slew of

campaign ads, neither Hillary Clinton nor the mainstream media will be able to ignore it.

Those claims of Hillary’s corruption are dangerously close to sticking, partially because they’re likely true to some degree. Also, the Clinton Dynasty reeks of a powerhungry, inside-the-beltway couple gunning for four terms as president. accusations against her. “Of course the Clintons are corrupt. They’ll do anything to stay in power. Heck, Bill perjured himself to save face.”

Worst of all for the Clintons is the Benghazi hearings will continue. Witnesses will continue to surface. Documents will continue to become public. This slow process will marinate the Clinton name in this scandal, an experience they are all too familiar with. Hillary knows this, and she is waiting. She would rather go out on top now with her fortune, reputation, and likely another book deal or two, than risk running for president if it will taint her legacy as the failed presidential candidate brought down by scandal.

That’s what is in the back of Hillary’s mind when she sits at the Iowa Steak Fry. She’s haunted by it.

the “most senior Australian member of the terrorist group Islamic State, having traveled to Syria in April last year.” A proselytizer for the “Street Dawah Movement,” Barylei “was outspoken and wouldn't shy from speaking the truth regardless,” a former fellow Dawah member told Fairfax Media. “He wasn't pleased with living in Australian society and wanted to live in an Islamic society away from open alcoholism, homosexuality, fornication, drugs and capitalism.”

Baryalei is credited with recruiting at least two fellow Australians to the cause. One, Khaled Sharrouf, infamously tweeted pictures of himself executing prisoners in Iraq and images of his 7-year-old son holding a severed head in Syria. Another fellow Australian, Mohamed Elomar, has also released images of himself holding the decapitated heads of his “enemies.”

So here's the troubling question: Why did Baryalei bother making the phone calls?

We've been hearing for months that the Islamic State is brilliant at social media. The terror group can reach out to supporters, sympathizers and assassins all around the world with a single tweet, Facebook post or YouTube video.

If the terror group wants Muslims in Sydney, Australia — or in New York City, or in Topeka, Kansas —- to grab innocent people off the street and saw their heads off, all it needs to do is say so. The word will get to the intended ears quickly enough.

Now, the fact that the Islamic State didn't do this is a little encouraging. It suggests that it's either unwilling to cross that Rubicon quite yet or it has reason to believe that few people would follow through on the public command, making it look weak. That's all to the good.

But there's too much potential bad news here as well.

For starters, it's hardly as if such people do not exist in the West. The fact that, collectively, thousands of Europeans, Canadians and Americans have gone to Syria and Iraq for “jihadi tourism” is also an indicator that people willing to do such things live here.

It would be nice to think they've all left for jihad abroad, but that seems unlikely.

Besides, there are probably new potential recruits to be enlistElfgeeh, a naturalized American from Yemen living in Rochester, New York, was indicted for trying to recruit radical Muslims to shoot American soldiers returning from the Middle East. He had already been arrested in May for trying to buy handguns with silencers from an undercover agent.

Perhaps most disturbing about all of this is that the Islamic State doesn't seem that interested in blowing up planes. Al-Qaeda always had an odd obsession with destroying aircraft and committing dramatic acts of murder. This elaborate plots were easier to be foiled by law enforcement and intelligence agencies. The Islamic

State has discovered that beheadings —- which are cheap and relatively easy to conduct —- have a huge impact in the West. They are also horrifyingly empowering to the losers who support the cult. It takes homework to build an IED. Beheadings require very little instruction.

How to stop the equivalent night, particularly when there's so much potential to respond in ways that further radicalize some Muslims. So far, the so-called “antiMuslim backlash” in the U.S. has largely been a myth. But one can imagine many decent and peaceful Muslims paying a terrible price for the crimes of others if the Islamic State decided to cut out the middlemen handlers and recruiters like, allegedly, Baryalei and Elfgeeh One can also imagine radicals propagandizing counterterror operations into evidence of anti-Muslim bigotry -- a sentiment which in turn would help with the recruitment effort. (Sydney saw large Muslim protests against the government after the raids Thursday.)

Of course, the challenge of do-it-yourself jihadism has been with us for quite a while. But, like everything else, it seems to be changing in the era of Twitter.

Hillsdale could use a little more socialism Kate Patrick Assistant Editor Two concerned economists — both calling for economic reform, advocating the rights of small business owners, and decrying crony capitalism — enactus on Friday. Both voiced disgust for Wall Street corruption. Both supported worker’s rights, fair working conditions, and fair wages. Both think the current socioeconomic system is in a bad place.

One is the director of the Heritage Foundation’s Center for Data Analysis — a capitalist — and one is a member of the Socialist Party USA. “Socialism tends to be misrepresented,” Socialist Party member John Strinka said. “When I say, ‘I’m a socialist,’ people say ‘Oh, like Obama!’ And I say, ‘No, that’s not what we mean.’”

In the past century, America has allowed an “unholy agreement between government and big business,” Strinka said. “Capitalism [teaches] that humans are commodities to be bought and sold.

At this point in American history, corporations can buy government policy.

Democracy has been eaten up by corporate interests.”

Strinka is reacting to capitalism gone wrong in American society. He sees the

They just propose a different way somewhat naive.

The gift of giving back Andy Reuss Special to the Collegian It is only the love of others, not our own merit or worth, that allows us to live and learn here at Hillsdale for four years.

Please understand that I do not intend to demean the hard work that many students put in to pay for this education.

Working for a paycheck that you will immediately give away isn’t ideal, but we do it each week nevertheless. And we do it because we know that it’s worth it.

For those of us graduating in May 2015, the total cost of our Hillsdale education is approximately $75,950,000, or $245,000 per student, according to Vice President of Institutional Advancement John Cervini. However, none of us has paid anywhere near that amount. At the most, a few of us may have paid a price akin to $130,000 in four years. But most won’t.

Rather, our average cost remains around $30,000 each year. The average aid package totals $16,700. Even after our sticker price has been halved, most aid.

Where does all this aid come from?

To be sure, Hillsdale College has several benefactors with the means to provide extraordinary gifts. Others leave their estates to the trust of the college, with uses. You need only to check the nameplate under the nearest portrait in Lane But they are in the minority. Hillsdale donors are more often associated with cheeseburgers and minivans than caviar and helipads. Around 80 percent

of all the donations to the college consist of gifts $100 or less. Our dorm lights are kept on and our water keeps running because of the simple love of thousands of people across the country, often without direct connection to this place.

That is perhaps the most absurd thing about it: The vast majority of these benefactors will never set foot on Hillsdale’s campus. Their children or grandchildren may never attend and their association with the school will only ever consist of radio ads and Imprimis. It is unlikely that they will ever see directly the fruits of their generosity, yet they give a portion of their hard-earned money to a small liberal arts college in the middle of Michigan.

And this generosity is the only reason why many of us are able to attend our college. Strangers, people we will never meet, have made it possible for us to meet our best friends, learn the greatest things, and spend four years of our lives in a place with people that have changed us forever. And they have done this, not because we have earned it through our grades, our scores, or our resumes, but because they love this place and what we do here.

If they can give, if strangers without cause can become true friends of our college, I believe that we can give too. And not out of obligation, but out of love. Out of love for this place, the people, the experiences we had and those we never had to have. And for the education we received, participated in, and helped make.

For the love of what we’ve been given, and what we hope many will be given long after we are gone.

Senior Andy Reuss is senior class president studying politics and English.

Students come to Hillsdale College, in large part, because of the excellent liberal arts education that the college provides.

We read about ancient Greece and medieval England. We study the make-up of a molecule and the anatomy of the cell. We learn how to translate “The Aeneid” and calculate the slope of a tangent line to a curve.

But what often is left by the wayside is the education of the body. Hillsdale keeps her students’ noses buried in books, which often times keeps many away from exercising or enjoying sports on campus.

However, laboring at the “gymnastic” as Plato calls it in “The Republic,” is a vital part of a liberal arts education.

In “The Republic,” Plato, through the voice of Socrates, argues that there are two important parts of education: the musical and the gymnastic.

It is key to note that t h e

musical education is not limited to music.

It also includes other intellectual studies generally thought of when discussing what a liberal arts education consists of, mainly rhetoric.

The gymnastic education, on the other hand, is simply the training and strengthening of the body. Plato says clearly that both are important, but they can only have their true effect when used together. Practicing only one, he argues, is detrimental.

Plato, through the character Glaucon, argues that, “those who make use of unmixed gymnastic turn out more savage than they ought, while those who make use of music become in their turn softer Socrates goes on to say, “Then the man tic with music and brings them to his soul in the most proper measure is the one of whom we would most correctly say that he is the most perfectly musical and well harmonized.”

part of being human. We have an intellectual side, a “soul” as Socrates says, and we have a more physical body. The musical education trains one’s intellect, while the gymnastic education strengthens the body.

Developing one at the expense of the other leaves a person incomplete. If the point of a liberal arts education is to become a free human being in the classical sense, then one must sharpen all aspects of what it means to be human in order to truly be liberally educated. In this way, the gymnastic education plays an essential role in the liberal arts.

Last year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a study

and less crazy than we think.

More debates between different schools of thought would help students get out of Hillsdale’s philosophical bubble and explore different views and and philosophers who look at issues from a different, but valuable angle.

Even economists who adhere to an agrarian or Distributist philosophy — which advocate small capitalism, caps on business size, widespread ownership of private property, and farm-centered communities — provide a much-needed voice in the search for a healthy, functional society.

After all, it was Wendell Berry who said in his Agrarian Essays, “In a society in which nearly everybody is dominated by somebody else's mind or by a disembodied mind, it becomes about the activities of governments and corporations, about the quality or value of products, or about the health of one's own place and economy.”

Ravi Zacharias for commencement speaker

Samantha Strayer Special to the Collegian

Ravi Zacharias was such a bad student he tried to kill himself. At the age of 17, weighed down by academic failures and an inability to deal with the consequences, a young Ravi guzzled packets of poison stolen from his school’s chemistry lab. Yet he survived.

While lying in the hospital during his recovery, his mother read aloud the encouraging words of Jesus: “Because I live, you will also live.” Deeply moved by this verse from John 14:19, Ravi gave his life to Christ and promised, “I will leave no stone unturned in my pursuit of truth.” His adolescence was inauspicious, but his life has become the epitome of the principles that inspire Hillsdale students. Therefore, it makes perfect sense, and it would be a privilege, to have Ravi as the next Hillsdale College commencement speaker.

Born in Madras, India in 1946, Ravi raised in a culture with high expectations for academic achievement. In the evenings, families in his neighborhood — who were too poor to have electricity — would send their children outside to study under the streetlamps. Limited for access to the lamps. Those fortunate few who remained would tie a lock of their hair — called a Bodi and spiritually posts to keep them awake by tugging on their heads in case they dozed off. Later in college, Ravi describes how students would whisper among themselves about committing suicide as an escape from the intense pressure to perform well in school. One of Ravi’s best friends ended

Sports as a liberal art Nathanael Meadowcroft Assistant Editor

If we sit in our booths in A.J.’s arguing over the particulars of anarcho-capitalism with fellow students and decrying the ludicrosity of liberals, we won’t be ready to engage smart, compassion-

stating that 80 percent of adults in America don’t achieve the recommended amount of exercise. Whether this is a result of a lack of emphasis on sports and exercise within education can be debated. But placing an emphasis on exercise will certainly help increase the number of adults who continue to take part in the gymnastic education. However, the gymnastic education is not just limited to one’s own exercise. music but to listen to it as well, there is also bodies through sports and the like. In the same way one appreciates good music and appreciate and enjoy the mastery that athletes show in their sport.

Students at Hillsdale, in large part, have no problem making it to concerts by music honoraries and orchestra perforstudent section at athletic events is often sparsely populated. But aren’t both concerts and sporting events two sides of the same coin?

Attending a football game and participating in the gymnastic education in that way is comparable to going to the orchestra and participating in the musical education. Both events, through sight and sound, allow the observer to grow in his or her understanding of that education even if they are not able to perform the action themselves.

Music is to the musical education as sport is to the gymnastic education. So don’t just go listen to the orchestra. Go watch a few Chargers football games as well. Both play an important part in a liberal arts education.

Sophomore Nathanael Meadowcroft is assistant sports editor studying math.

After Ravi recovered from the attempt to poison himself, he kept his promise to God and vigorously pursued an education in theology, focusing on comparative religions and philosophy. At the age of 20, Ravi emigrated with his family to Canada where he earned an undergraduate degree from Ontario Bible College.

After graduating in 1977, he became an itinerant speaker for the Christian and Missionary Alliance. He later earned his Master of Divinity from Trinity International University, received numerous honorary doctorates, and is now a vis-

One of Ravi’s best friends ended his life by setting

iting scholar at Cambridge University.

He and his family now live in Georgia where his international apologetics ministry, RZIM, is celebrating its 30th anniversary.

He has traveled to more than 70 countries and is a highly sought-after speaker, collaborator, and mentor. Pictures show standing-room-only audiences in large venues wherever he speaks — whether he's at the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor or speaking on the topic of “Truth in Turbulent Times” in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Interestingly, the most hostile audiences are often found in the West. For instance, Ravi received a mixed welcome when he recently spoke at an Ivy League

college. The local press was so antagonistic and accusatory that Ravi had to have a bodyguard just to gain entrance to the auditorium. The hostility is ironic because Ravi talks about the very things all students wrestle with and want to understand — the big questions of life.

In addition to giving talks and conducting Q&A sessions, Ravi reaches students through a variety of ways. RZIM recently launched a online academy offering an interactive, 12-week course on apologetics. They also host annual summer intensives in the U.S. and Canada and have partnered with Oxford University in England to offer undergraduate and master’s degrees in theological studies. Ravi has also authored and co-authored more than 30 books — the most recent of which is a graphic novel entitled “The Lamb and the Fuhrer.” In it, Ravi depicts an imaginary conversation set in the afterlife among Jesus, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and Adolf Hitler.

So, in the best of ironies, Ravi’s life is synonymous with education and a fearless pursuit of truth. Ravi’s personal mission and that of RZIM — to “reach and challenge those who shape the ideas of a culture” — harmonize perfectly with Hillsdale and the character of its students. Ravi speaks to the universal themes of life, yet his ideas are fresh, thoughtful, and challenging. By remembering his own academic experiences and regularly engaging students across the nation, Ravi would relate easily to Hillsdale students. The college has provided estimable speakers for commencement, and Ravi would be a fantastic addition to the list.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the editor: Emily Runge’s article last week (Libertarians are wrong on ISIS, Sept.

18) on the alleged folly of libertarian “naysaying” further intervention in Iraq and Syria showed a disturbing lack of understanding of the situation.

As a conservative who deeply opposes the core tenets of libertarianism, I nonetheless believe the time has come to say that there may be some issues on which libertarians are correct. Runge made repeated attacks on libertarianism, saying its proponents were unwilling to sit down and work out a solution for the defeat of ISIS with the other Washington p o litical factions. Nowhere in her piece does she make an argument for U.S. intervention in Syria and Iraq. The question of the justice or prudence of military action is already asked and answered, without any sort of discussion. ing servicemen and women into harm’s way in foreign countries because they are defending national security. Although perhaps tentative, every war fought in the 20th century (barring the Balkan intervention) was started for national security reasons. If the U.S. president is willing to put soldiers into a situation where they will kill and maybe also be killed, as well as spending a lot money on the way, and the situation is not one concerning national security, then war is being made unjustly.

It is true, ISIS has already murdered an American citizen. But this certainly does not constitute an existential threat to the United States.

Perhaps the best solution would be to send in a very small special forces

team to capture or kill those responsible. I claim no expertise in military operations, but it seems more prudent to right the only injustice committed against the United States than to jump into yet another unwinnable war in the Middle East based on a single incident.

Runge asserts that the 2011 withdrawal of troops from Iraq was “imprudent.” What national security mission was the United States attempting to accomplish after the end of 2003 in Iraq? Maybe the argument is that the United States is playing a noble role in the destruction of an evil entity committing atrocities across the Atlantic.

I don’t think anyone would doubt that ISIS is evil. However, prudence and nobility in foreign policy almost always happen to coincide. The United States government must prudently work for the security of its people.

This is its only noble purpose. To do anything other would be to spend American lives and money on an issue of no concern to the United States, which is ignoble as well as imprudent.

The fact is, there is no reason yet were to attack the United States, then a casus belli would be established. As of yet, it simply seems that the President and everyone else in Washington is concerned only with doing something, without spending any thought on what the noble and prudent thing this dangerous lack of thought.

CITY NEWS City council approves

Kate Patrick Assistant Editor Hillsdale City Council voted to eliminate the director of public safety position and replace it with positions Sept. 15.

Since the council is searching for a new city manager, these two, new positions will be temporary until a city manager replacement decides how to assign the director of public safety’s responsibilities.

“Over the last 17 years we’ve had a director of public safety that was a management position that oversaw budget operations,” said. “Now it’s just a change in administrative titles. For 60 days, I’m the acting chief, [until we] out the direction they want to go with as far as management.”

Pauken and acting police chief Scott Hephner will not see a change in their salaries, said councilperson Emily Davis. The two positions are currently at zero cost to the city.

“The public safety committee would like to see a police and a cheaper if we structure [the di-

Professors discuss fostering campus and community connection Ramona Tausz Assistant Editor An audience of students and faculty gained ideas for connecting Hillsdale’s college and city during a conversation between Associate Professor of English Patricia Bart and Professor of Political Economy Gary Wolfram Thursday.

The unscripted dialogue, held in the formal lounge, was the second in the Honors Program’s series “The Conversation.” The topic was Bridging the Town Gown Divide: A Conversation about Hospitality, Membership, and Community.

True to its philosophy, “The Conversation” event allowed the audience to learn by witnessing loves in conversation.

Both Bart and Wolfram have a passion for what Wolfram called making Hillsdale “a college town as opposed to a town with a college.”

The two believe campus members should also be meaningful town members. Without this integration, they believe the academic community can-

Hillsdale’s unique, small-town atmosphere.

“From just being up at the college, you don’t realize what a nice community you have,” Wolfram said. “You have to be nice to people because the next day, you might be standing in That’s the beauty of Hillsdale.”

Wolfram also believes bridging the gap between town-and nomic success.

“It’s a chicken-and-the-egg kind of thing,” he said. “If nobody goes downtown, there’s no retail downtown for you guys to go to.”

Bart and Wolfram commended students already connecting with the town, including campus volunteer groups. They encouraged students to spend time at community businesses, get to know local residents, and show hospitality to townspeople.

Both professors inspired students to do these things with examples from their own lives.

Mary Boocks watched her three granddaughters from a counter across the kitchen. She brought them to Cake Thyme’s In the future, Cole plants to offer one baking class per month — with some being for adults.

“They love it,” Boocks said of her students. “They love to try new stuff. They’re really devel-

oping their skills.”

As the smell of baking cream puffs wafted through the kitchen, Cole and her students prepared a chocolate glaze. They also shaped fondant into roses to decorate the creations.

In describing this staple of cake decorating, C o l e said, “It’s great, because it’s like P l a y Doh, except you can eat it.”

An hour later, proud young chefs greeted their parents with boxes of cream puffs and stories of creative, edible fun.

“I really wanted to learn to make cream puffs, because I’ve had them from the store and they were really good,” Ava Ruley, 7, said.

Her sister Erin, 11, said, “I’d never made dough before from scratch. We usually buy it from the store.”

The joy of making things from scratch is exactly what Cole aims to foster.

“I’ve always been a teacher,” Cole said. “I’m an educator at heart.”

campaigning continues — weather permitting or not.

“The campaign has been rigorous, in the sense that you have other full-time job,” Brady said.

“You have to spend all of your time doing meaningful things, and things that aren’t meaningful have to fall by the wayside.”

Despite the campaign’s challenges, Brady said he enjoys the process, largely because of the valuable relationships he’s formed.

“It has been time-consuming, but it has been rewarding in a lot of ways,” Brady said. “Primarily, meeting people that I have come to appreciate and having them come to appreciate me. Some of the people I don’t even know, or I have only met them a few times, but I am able to connect with the people that I serve.”

Brady has a passion for help-

He suggested inviting community members to a Hillsdale play or musical performance.

Michigan Senate Land v. Peters Vivian Hughbanks

Terri Lynn Land, Michigan’s “invisible” senate candidate, is light.

Since her Mackinac Island gaffe, Land has avoided open press conferences and public appearances, but she announced this week that she will debate opponent Rep. Gary Peters. Land hired former Secretary of State Richard McLellan as her campaign’s debate negotiator, but as of press time, a date for the debate hasn’t been announced.

“Terri is ready to hold Peters accountable for his hypocrisy on everything from immigration and Wall Street to pet coke and the war on women,” said Heather Swift, spokeswoman for the Land Campaign. “Gary Peters wanted this debate — let’s have it.”

McLellan will focus on an invitation from WXYZ-TV in Detroit, MLive reports. The Land campaign will work with Peters’ gan journalist to co-moderate the debate with Chuck Stokes, editorial director for WXYZ. “Every election is a debate of ideas and Ms. Land would be well served to remember that this U.S. Senate race is not about her, but about the people of Michigan,” the Peters campaign told MLive. “In November, Michiganders will be choosing between two very different visions for the future of our state, our nation, and our middle class.”

Over the course of their campaigns, Peters has challenged participate.

Until now, Land has taken a different approach at winning the people of the Great Lakes State, bussing across more than 1,200 miles and appearing at 28 events between Aug. 13 and early September.

‘He’s got my back’ Family DB duo starts for the Charger defense Sam Scorzo Sports Editor Under the Friday night lights at Michigan’s St. Johns High School, visiting teams must have thought the student section was stranger than most when they started chanting: “UN-CLE TIM-MY!” And “NE-PHEW AUS-TIN!” The stars of the small town’s chants are now Chargers: Senior captain Tim Moinet and redshirt sophomore Austin Koneval. And their hometown’s chants were true: Moinet’s older sister is Koneval’s mother, making him Koneval’s uncle. However, they describe their relationship as more like brothers, and they’re as close neval 23, Moinet 24.

“He’s like a brother, that’s just how it is,” Moinet said. “Growing up we lived less than a mile apart, we were together 24/7, so I know everything about him, everything about his personality and vice versa. That’s huge on he’s thinking, where he’s going to go and what I need to do to help him out.” son of football together when Koneval entered fourth grade Norm, for teaching them football fundamentals.

“Football’s always been a family thing for us,” Koneval said.

They developed a love for the same position— defensive back— and they started as safeties on the St. Johns varsity football team for two years together.

“Both of us loved high school football. It was an absolute blast for us,” Moinet said.

Andy Schmitt, the assistant high school coach at the time, was clear to anyone watching.

“They’re both extremely passionate about football. It was obvious how much they cared for each other and for the team and it was always exciting to watch them. They were great guys to coach,” Schmitt said. “Tim was always looking out for Austin and Austin was always open and

receptive to his advice.”

Schmitt started coaching the St. Johns Red Wings after his three-year stint as starting quarterback for Eastern Michigan University. He brought his experience in college football recruiting to the high school and made it a point to help Moinet.

“He was a senior at the time and I thought he was getting a bit overlooked. He was an awesome player,” Schmitt said.

Hillsdale snatched up Moinet and played him as a true freshman, and a year later Koneval joined the Chargers’ roster.

Senior defensive back Dan Pittman, Tim’s roommate all four years, describes both of the guys as quiet, but said their personalities differ on game day.

“Tim lets his pregame emotions get the best of him. He gets really amped up,” Pittman said.

“Austin’s always pretty quiet.

He’ll come off a big play and just walk off like yeah, whatever.”

Moinet, the rover, and Koneval, the free safety, have a con“If I mess up I get really pissed off and he’s always there to say ‘Come on, lets keep going,’ and keep my head level. It’s nice because we’re always on the same page,” Koneval said. “I’m not really here by myself because he’s got my back.”

Hillsdale’s defensive coordinator Craig Blanchard said the two are “gifted players.”

“They’re my most physical players. They’re able to communicate and draw strength from each other,” Blanchard said.

“There’s a lot of ups and downs in this game, and having each other to lean on and work together is pretty neat.”

While both of them play on um, their family— parents, along with Moinet’s older brother, and two other older sisters, as well as Austin’s two younger siblings— sit in the stands and cheer them on. Football, however, is not the only thing that brings the family together. Bonding time is spent working out.

“Athletics really unite us as a family. We all love working out together, training together, and

afterwards we’ll go play volleyball, baseball, football— that’s what we do all summer, and it’s always a great time,” Moinet said.

Senior co-captain Matt Chalberg led the team for the third straight week with scores of 74-74 and Senior co-captain Brad Mitzner, junior Cole Benzing and freshman John Burke all made their collegiate debuts in the horrible weather. Freshman Joe Torres shot 77-77 for a 35th place 160.

Torres said there was “rain on and off the whole time, probably every other hole,” and said the golfers battled 30 mile an hour winds all day. “[Saturday was] just the windiest day – worst conditions I’ve ever played golf in. It was so cold and rainy,” Chalberg said.

Grand Valley alumnus hired as new track coach Emma Vinton Assistant Editor

weeks ago with the addition of another assistant coach.

Nathan Miller, the newest member of the staff, specializes in jumps and short sprints. He started nearly two weeks ago, the third new coach hired this semester. Joseph Lynn, distance coach, and Janine Kuestner, throws coach, were also hired over the summer.

Miller attended Grand Valley State University where he was a high jumper. He was an All-American his junior year, and jumped 2.13 meters, nearly seven feet.

After graduating in 2011, he coached at Northwood University.

“When I was at Northwood, I was coaching a whole array of events. I was coaching hurdles, jumps, sprints, I even did a little bit of middle distance,” Miller said. “I wanted to go back and specialize in the jumps because that was where my passion was.”

Andrew Towne, ‘04, head coach for the men and women’s Hillsdale cross country and track nized Miller from when he was a high jumper at Grand Valley.

“Because he was at Grand Valley I didn’t like him,” Towne joked. “I really didn’t know him at all.”

But after interactions with Miller at Northwood, Towne

was impressed by Miller and his passion for the sport. He invited Miller to help work at the Hillsdale camp last summer for high school students, mostly just to observe him in action. When a coaching position opened at Hillsdale, Towne knew that Miller was the man for the job.

“Even though each coach does things a little bit differently, his teaching philosophy, his dayto-day approach is really similar to mine, so the kids will have a pretty seamless transition,” Towne said.

Senior Cassidy Kaufman is one of the captains of the men’s team, representing the jumps.

He said that the team has already learned so much from the new coach.

“We’ve only had him for a

certain things that we’ve had trouble with for a long time. We are all pretty excited about this season,” Kaufman said.

He also said that both Miller’s youth and his experience are helpful in relating to the young team.

“He is very clear, very communicative in his instructions,” Kaufman said. “And at the same time, he’s very young, so he can show us a lot of the movements, knows his stuff, and he practices what he preaches.”

Towne said that the staff-- in terms of recruiting and developing athletes-- is composed of some of the most talented coaches in the country.

“One of the things that I

wanted to do when we started to assemble our staff was that we bring in the best possible people,” he said. “We want to make sure that we are giving our kids every chance to be successful, and I think we were able to do that across the board. That’s one of the reasons the kids are excited, they can tell they are working with really good people.”

Though compiling a new coaching staff has not been easy, Towne said that he believes Hillsdale offers more opportunities than challenges. He said that the goals are to get athletes to graduation, and to be a podium team, four teams. Last year was the fourth time in school history that the women’s cross country team -

“I would be very surprised if ter than it did last year, probably said. “I’m excited to be here and start my fourth year. I’m excited for our program.”

Miller echoed Towne’s hopes for the team this season.

“I hope that our team is not only competing at a high conference level, but also a national level,” he said. “When I talked to coach Towne when I interviewed here, that was his goal, and that was my goal as an athlete, and I hope that will be the same for our athletes here.”

Making Campus Beautiful Angie Girdham, Hillsdale’s horticulturist, captains the “campus beautification crew” Amanda Tindall Assistant Editor Although the transformation of the trees indicates the impending cold of winter, one group within the college’s grounds crew is already preparing for the spring beauty of campus.

Angie Girdham heads the small team that is the horticultural department, which works to bring beauty to the campus through the landscaping and gardening.

“I tend to get a lot of industry publications. I go to trade shows;

I go to trial gardens. If something catches my eye, I follow up on it, and if it’s something I can budget, I add to it,” Girdham said.

Horticulture is an art that requires form, balance, and color, ing well, which adds another, difGirdham grew up in northern Ohio, and in her town, they had a trade high school. There, she said, she discovered an interest in landscaping, and an aunt, whom she looked up to, was also interested in gardening. After high school, Girdham went to college and received a degree in orna-

mental horticulture.

For the past 10 years, Girdham has worked at Hillsdale, making the campus a lovely place to work and live and study.

“Obviously it’s a great college,” Girdham said. “I work in a very niche industry. To be able to work in my industry and have a great career so close to home and family meant a lot to me.”

Every winter, Girdham creates a spreadsheet, which includes everything she’s planning on planting — how many weeks it takes to grow in a seed tray, in a pot, and then when it should be transplanted into the ground.

An apprenticeship Hannah Strickland ’14 apprenticed this summer with Hillsdale sculpture prof Anthony Frudakis

The transplants grow in a greenhouse that is at Hayden Park. There, Girdham and her two student workers plant seeds in little trays, to later distribute the little plants throughout campus.

“I basically help Angie with all the exciting things that she does,” Horticulture Assistant junior Natalie deMacedo said.

“Right now, we spend a lot of time watering all the plants we’ve planted. Soon we’ll have to start ripping out a lot of those things, so we can put in evergreen plants for the winter...We put the little seeds in seed trays, and hopefully

“Trust” is the Hillsdale artist’s newest album. The 2014 album’s theme is trusting in the Lord and is composed entirely of original songs by Youngman, with the artist focusing on hymnal music as the genre for this production.

“I ended up absolutely falling in love with it,” she said. “It exercised my brain in a very different way than the academics did.”

Frudakis suggested the apprenticeship to Strickland because he was impressed by her natural talent and enthusiasm for sculpture and art in general.

“I told her if she ever wanted to come back and work with me, either in the summer or in the fall, she would be very welcome to do that,” Frudakis said.

“He moved all this stuff to his garage just so I could have that room to myself,” Strickland said. “It was just amazingly kind of him.”

She would then spend an hour and a half helping him with his commissions and his personal work.

“Sometimes I would do bits and pieces of his sculptures: sculpt this boot, or sculpt this box,” Strickland said.

For her personal project, Strickland focused on an anatomical study called an écorché,

For Hannah Strickland ’14, graduation was far from the end of the Hillsdale experience.

From graduation until the end of July, Strickland, who now works as a social media coordinator at Hillsdale, took a sculpture apprenticeship with Professor of Art Anthony Frudakis, helping him with his projects and honing her own artistic skills and sensibilities.

Art apprenticeships have been a method for masters of the craft to pass on their knowledge and experience in a personal manner since the Renaissance.

“Before art school was a thing, this is what you did,” Strickland said.

A lover of art since middle school, Strickland is relatively new to sculpture. She took

“I loved the sound of a guitar and I wanted to play it myself,” Youngman said.

The artist graduated from Spring Arbor University with a major in trumpet and a secondary musical training after self-teaching for seven years. After graduating from Spring Arbor, Youngman began working closely with Brian Roberts, a guitar master class instructor out of Ann Arbor, for two years.

James Holleman, chairman of the music department at Hillsdale, said he is excited to have Youngman perform next Friday.

Entertainment versus art: a critical approach The other day, I read an article about a 21-year-old man with a full ride scholarship to a law school who developed a debilitating internet addiction. It was everything parents tell their children to scare them into going outside. His family found him amid his appearance so haggard and ungroomed that his parents could hardly recognize him. He would play online video games for 40 hours at a time and had not left Internet rehab is the last hope for his once promising future as a lawyer.

When people ask Kate Nadolny about her new position as a voice instructor at Hillsdale College, she tells them it is a rather unexpected dream come true.

Nadolny received her bachelor’s degree in music education at Stetson University in Florida and earned a master’s degree in vocal performance at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. In addition to completing her bachelor’s and master’s degrees, Nadolny performed in opera roles both at Stetson University and University of Michigan. She most recently completed an apprentice artists program with the Des Moines Opera in Iowa.

Despite this, Osmond speaks very highly of the cast. Osmond is very impressed with the freshmen class. “[We have] an incredible amount of freshmen talent. It’s one of the strongest classes yet,” Osmond said.

Ziegler agreed.

portunity for vocal students at Hillsdale to practice singing opera with live performance of the pieces they have been learning and rehearsing as its culmination.

In years past, the class started rehearsals in the fall semester and put on a performance in the spring. This year, due to the Tower Players’ musical in the spring, “The Drowsy Chaperone,” Opera Workshop was pushed entirely to the fall term so that students have time to participate in the workshop and the musical, Liu said.

“It’s a little scary,” said Melissa Osmond, head of Hillsdale’s voice department. “But it’ll get done.”

Strauss, a duet from “The Marriage of Figaro,” by Mozart, and a trio from “Faust,” by Gounod, should interest a broad audience.

“I think the variety is going to appeal to audiences. It’s much lighter and shorter [than typical opera],” said Ziegler.

Liu wanted to lend an air of accessibility to “The Magic Flute” through language and production.

“We’re doing it in English, not German,” said sophomore Sydnee Heim, the opera’s lead soprano.

Mozart’s “The Magic Flute” is usually very mystical and magiccentered, and Liu hopes that putting the opera into the Cold War era will put the focus back on the story itself.

“I wanted to demystify it,” Liu said. “This is going to be scaled down, cut back. It’s accessible in a way most opera isn’t. It’s trying to bring you back to the characters and to the story that Mozart is trying to present. It’s unique in that sense—it’s going to be a fun ride.”

“Basically, I’m trying to make the guitar sing, and I do whatever it takes to make the sound come out,” Youngman said.

Youngman plans to incorporate technology in his show at Hillsdale. He will use computers and a projector screen to project videos and pictures to accompany the music. For Youngman, technology allows him to create an atmosphere that makes his music more real.

Nadolny said that mid-lesson with her voice teacher her sophomore year of college she realized she had a better voice than she originally thought and could do something with it. The revelation: she could perform as well as teach music.

Hillsdale lets Nadolny do that.

“I get to meet wonderful students, hopefully impact them in some way, and just have fun” Nadolny said.

For Nadolny, voice lessons are all about student development. She isn’t looking for talent. She’s more focused on the student’s attitude and desire to develop as a vocalist.

“Essentially what happens is you want to take a student from point A where they’re starting to point B, and everyone starts at a different place,” Nadolny said.

“Every semester you make a goal for the student. It’s creating tiny little goals.”

In 1866, Hillsdale College President Edmund Fairfield prohibited female students from joining literary clubs.

Nathan Brand Collegian Reporter As Hillsdale College approaches the end of its 170th anniversary as an institution of higher learning, few controversies have plagued campus like the Great Rebellion of 1866. Today, students complain about visiting hours, but in 1866, students protested the administration’s rule against the admittance of females into student groups.

The Great Rebellion started when Hillsdale College President faculty forbade literary societies to admit female students.

At the time, these literary societies were the most popular components of student life. They featured numerous oratory events and competitions throughout the school year, and were regarded as some of the best of their kind in the country. One Hillsdale editor wrote “no star spreads a brighter of the West than our own favorite

institution – Hillsdale College.” the admission of female students into the literary societies without his written consent, the Great Rebellion took form.

The literary groups refused to comply with this new rule and a school wide backlash ensued.

Many students sought honorable dismissal from the college or sought to transfer to other schools.

Good many of the students are leaving.

Faculty initially came to the defense of the college president.

They placed an injunction on students’ property and did not allow them to leave, only making matters worse.

One Sunday morning in May, a banner above the pulpit in the chapel read: “TURN OUT PRESIDENT FAIRFIELD.” Similar ad-

vertising material was displayed throughout campus. Students were upset up with the administration and organized a response to voice their concerns.

Franklin Bailey, a Civil War veteran and college student found himself at odds with his peers. He stood by the college administradown the rebel students’ posters.

He also assisted the administration by keeping watch over campus buildings during the night.

“Last night the college steps, doors and halls were covered with advertisements, put up by the rebel students,” Bailey wrote.

The response by the student body devolved shortly after however, when Bailey found all of his personal belongings - clothes, books, and bedding- thrown into the mud because of his allegiance to the administration. The burglars who trashed Bailey’s belongings were never found.

“Good many of the students are leaving and are a bad state of things generally,” student Way-

land Dunn said.

A professor also found himself at odds with the college president.

Ransom Dunn, Wayland’s father, argued he could grant permission to the females in his own department. He accepted all ladies on campus into his Theological Society meetings and allowed students to sign their own permission cards.

Before the school year was out, the students and the Hillsdale College administration reached an acceptable compromise. Over the summer months, however, FairThe issue was put to a vote and resolved in the spring of 1867 when faculty sided unanimously

Ed Moody scultps large pumpkins for the Hillsdale County Fair, not for contests, but for fun , (Anders Kiledal/Collegian)

Moody: Pumpkin to Golden Carriage Former electrical contractor Ed Moody is a self-taught pumpkin carver who is always on the prowl for pumpkins of the larger persuasion.

Hannah Niemeier Collegian Freelancer On Monday morning, Hillsdale County Fair visitors passed by two of Ed Moody’s squash-like grinning guardians.

The pumpkins, one of which weighs more than 630 pounds, greeted fair-goers in front of the trance. Set upon bales of hay, they stood taller than their sculptor, prompting passersby to stop, stare, and ask questions. On multiple occasions, wide-eyed children asked, “What’s it gonna be?”

“I don’t know yet,” Moody replied. “Probably a pumpkin.”

Moody asked about children’s pictures, and joked with visitors about putting the pumpkins on a “trick-or-treat” diet. Both sculptor and sculpture added personality to the Hillsdale County Fair as Moody invited the community

into the creation of his art.

A retired electrical contractor and inspector, Moody traveled from his home in Frankfort, Michigan for his fourth visit to at 6 years-old, but did not move past what he calls the “5-minute jack-o-lantern” until his son was one year old, about 29 years ago.

la’s magical carriage.

Since then, he has traveled to county fairs and pumpkin weighins in search of mammoth specimens to carve and display.

“I travel to fairs, to schools, to hospitals, and to Michigan giant pumpkin grower weigh-off events,” Moody said.

His connection with the fair originated from an encounter a few years ago. Bernie Pickell, a member of the Board of Directors for the county fair, met Moody at a pumpkin weigh-in and invited him to demonstrate his skill at the fair. ception of an absence due to medical complications last year, he has been a regular ever since.

“I love it. It’s one of the greatest fairs in the state of Michigan,” Moody said. “They’ve really got something to be proud of here.”

In addition to inviting Moody to the fair, Pickell provided the raw material for the display. Pickell’s pumpkin patch in Jerome,

Michigan produced one of the pumpkins that Moody carved on Monday.

The pumpkins are a magnetic attraction for children. Jenna Ellis, 8, posed for a picture with a newly mustachioed pumpkin, admiring Moody’s handiwork up close.

“I’ve seen pretty big ones before,” she said. “But not faces like that.”

Though his masterpieces impress children and adults, Moody focuses on the joy of carving.

“I don’t do contests,” he said.

“I’m into the fun of it for the kids and adults alike.”

Pickell said that Moody’s carvings are more than a seasonal hobfair appeal only to select groups, Moody’s work appeals to all ages: “Everybody, from little kids to old people, like the big pumpkins,” he said. “That’s the attraction.”

“When I work with the girls, I use a different type of approach,” Roberts said. “I tell them my story. I tell them I have been through this. I give them strength. I keep instilling it in them: it will be okay.”

And, given support, it will be. Family Promise works withColdwater area to provide for the homeless or displaced members of the community. Pines Behavioral Health, located in cial hub for outreach efforts, using local churches and shelters like Family Promise to great effect.

“The community works together,” Roberts said. “We’re very good at networking and

one to go, instead of living in their car or a tent. We have a lot of resources in the community as far as getting them a hot meal immediately or a hotel room for the night until we can decide what to do with them.”

Suzanne Edmonds, who codirects the homeless ministry at First Baptist in Coldwater with her husband Terry, said that local churches sign up for weeklong host periods for those in the Family Promise program.

“The churches rotate,” Edback to Family Promise during the day, so that they can get a telephone and computer and look for a job.”

There is some local government action to help the homeless — a housing project in derway — but most of their aid comes from the combination of nancial assistance.

“We have people who spend the night with them,” Edmonds said, “people who feed them, and some who transport them.”

Richard Wunsch, the owner of Volume One Books in Hillsdale and a former activist on behalf of the homeless, clari“homeless” and the “shelterless.”

“The homeless have no place to call home,” Wunsch said, “but the shelterless are worried about staying warm at night.”

Last winter, the McDonald’s in Hillsdale kept its dining area open overnight and some without shelter spent their nights there. There are widespread predictions of an even more brutal season this year.

For the most part, effective community action takes place within and between local churches. Roberts uses her position at Family Promise to coordinate religious communities in the Coldwater area and Wunsch believes that, ultimately, the same must happen in Hillsdale.

When the community rallies around those who need its help, it changes the men and women both giving and receiving the aid. For Beth, one of the biggest realizations she had at Family Promise was that the community did indeed want to help.

“People are open to listening to other people,” Beth said.

“They’re willing to understand our situation and willing to help, no matter what the situation is.

She reassured me that there is a spot out there, even for people like me.”

By now, many of the volunteers are veterans who enjoy working in the sweetsmelling store and earning a dozen, freshly-made donuts, but Zinser constantly searches for younger help, too.

“The newbies are usually er,” Hartnagel said laughing.

“It gets really heavy and hard to keep moving, but we try and trade jobs. It’s a lot of fun here and the best part is all of the new people you’ll meet.”

Ranging in age from nine to 70, the volunteers enjoy meeting new friends and joking around. Amidst the busyness, they swap stories of 4-H competitions won by family members and concerns about how little the youth know about farming.

“They’re all here because they love the fair and what it gives to the community,” Zinser said. “Most of my volunteers are repeats because of all the fun we have. I don’t always remember all of their names, but I still know them, and I love all the new friends I’ve made.”

Alumnus founds Great Lakes Proud Dugan Delp Collegian Freelancer “It started with a sticker.

That was the birth of the whole thing.”

Austin Holsinger, ’11, founded Great Lakes Proud, a bumper sticker brand, in March after graduating from Hillsdale College.

This was not Holsinger’s neurship. While studying business and marketing management, Holsinger ran a golf club repair business and started a project with three friends, National Parks Tour, that encouraged conservation efforts in American national parks. After graduation, Holsinger continued to pursue the National Parks Tour project. The idea launched, but failed shortly after.

“That failure spurred me on to start something new,” he said. “The biggest motivator was the failure.”

After spending time in California and Montana, Holsinger itched to return Great Lakes region.

“I felt I had a story to tell about Michigan community and culture and wanted to tell it,” he said.

Holsinger bought a 1,000 stickers with the classic blue Great Lakes logo and ment.

“He had an idea, and people thought it was silly, but he saw the big picture and took a risk,” said sophomore Erin Holsinger, Austin’s sister.

By the end of 2011, Holsinger sold not only the 1,000 original stickers, but also an additional 4,000 stickers. In 2012, he sold over 50,000 stickers, and sales doubled again last year. Sold in over 200 retail locations, Holsinger has taken the simple logo and created brand loyalty with character.

Josh Baker, owner of The in Harbor Springs, Michigan, has sold Great Lakes Proud merchandise for three years.

He recognizes his customers’ familiarity with the logo and Great Lakes Proud’s environmental practices.

“The logo is great; it’s ingenious,” Baker said. “The people love the colors and are really starting to understand the name. We are very

interested in that here in Michigan: living local, buying local, shopping local.”

From the beginning, Holsinger wanted to support Great Lakes conservation efforts. He initially left it up to his customers to suggest where the company should donate. But this year, Great Lakes Proud began a working relationship with the Great Lakes Program at Shedd Aquarium Center for Conservation and Research in Chicago. Great Lakes Proud is a sponsor of Shedd Aquarium’s multi-million dollar conservation initiative, tackling problems like pollution and the invasion of

Afternoon at the Donut Hut Macaela Bennett City News Editor

Huddling beneath umbrellas and pulling hoodies tighter over their heads, hundreds thwarted drizzling rain and chilly temperatures Sunday afternoon to buy one of Hillsdale County Fair’s most popular treats: Donut Hut donuts.

Inside the hut, 10 volunpackage donuts, attempting to keep up with the demand.

“Walt has a way of persuading people to help,” volunteer Larry Payn said, smirking as he dipped one of several hundred donuts he frosted during his four-hour shift.

“Not long ago, I didn’t know any of these people,” Donut Hut Manager Walt Zinser retorted while gesturing to volunteers frantically search-

ing for chocolate donuts to them probably wish they never knew me.”

After noticing the success other fairs had with donut huts,

It’s my way of giving back to the community.

Zinser, a member of the Hillsdale County Fair Board of Directors, proposed that Hillsdale try opening its own.

The Hillsdale Donut Hut opened in 2010 and is run completely by volunteers, so all of its proceeds go to the Hillsdale Agricultural Society to invest in fair improvements.

To the surprise of many,

hit, seen in Donut Hut’s line stretching as long as 75 people at a time and seldom slowing down, regardless of weather.

“Walt has made these donuts a reason to come to the fair,” volunteer Dora Hartnagel said.

Even local radio station WCSR broadcaster and Donut Hut regular Bob Flynn often encourages his listeners to stop by for a freshly-made donut.

“One time, my sister called me just to ask for me to save them,” Zinser said. “They freeze real well, and she sits on a combine all day, so she pulls out two each day and eats them while she’s riding through the To ensure the hut runs smoothly, Zinser rarely leaves the white building with a gi-

ant donut sign located a short walk past the New Merchants building. Although he misses out on many of the fair events, he enjoys making new friends and contributing to the fair by running the store.

“It’s my way of giving back to the community,” Zinser said.

“I love watching little kids having a ball and remembering my my family work at the fair since I was three, and my dad would give me money for one ride and a hot dog every day. It brings back a lot of memories, but it doesn’t happen if there’s no one to help.”

By dividing each day into four-hour shifts worked by 10 volunteers, Zinser enlists the help of friends, students, and community members to run the

“I think it starts with that he’s very caring,” Erin said of her impressive philanthropy. His company has always given at least 15 percent Lakes, totaling over $50 thousand.

The idea originated locally from a love of the Great Lakes, but now the logo can be found globally. Great Lakes Proud has sold stickers to all 50 states, Australia, Japan, Korea, and parts of Europe. Hollywood celebrities like Ryan Gosling and Kristen Bell have also bought into the craze.

Holsinger often receives pictures of the logo from loved ones all across the country. The Holsinger family makes a game of spotting stickers on road trips and vacations.

“It’s an awesome remindI’ll have a conversation with some of them,” Holsinger said.

He remembers one time when the family did not realize he was the founder, and began telling him about the company.

“I said the sticker was cool and they started telling me the story of Great Lakes Proud and how it was started by a guy who grew up in northern Michigan and wanted to do something good.

They said that it said in a simple image what everyone wanted to say in words.”
