Viking Fusion to release free app for iPhone and Android phones
PAUL WATSON
editor-in-chief
The new Viking Fusion smart phone application will be available for free download starting Friday. The app, available for iPhones with iOS7 and Android phones, will contain nearly all the same content the website currently contains. Viking Fusion advisor Stephen Hames said the project originally began in September 2012 when a committee of communication professors examined the benefits of having an app and the process for creating one, including costs. The actual designing and programming of the app began in spring of 2013. After much deliberation and searching for a developer, Berry alumni David Moskovitz (07) and Isaac Jessup (09) were hired to create the app. Hames said Jessup was a good part of the team because he was one of the students who helped create the original Fusion website during his time at Berry, so he was familiar with the mission and goals of the organization. Hames said one of the motives for building a mobile app was that it was practical. We are keeping up with technological demands, Hames said. More and more people are going mobileso we need to provide a mobile platform to keep up with the times. Bob Frank, associate professor of communication and department chair, was a member of the development committee. He said the idea for an app came from another committee member: Brian Carroll, associate professor of communication. The motivation was a realization triggered by Brian Carrolls reading and thinking that by 2014 the majority of people will be getting their information from a mobile site, Frank said. Carroll said creating a mobile app was a smart move. The desktop is declining; smartphones are now the dominant interface to get information, Carroll said. We needed to make it easier for people to access Fusion. Frank said most of the app development process was done via video conferences during which Moskovitz and Jessup would display the current state of the application and the committee would comment on what they liked and what they wanted changed. The app development hit a rough patch when the Apple app development system crashed, delaying the process for about a month, but Frank said the team worked through it. One of the biggest concerns the committee had was the cost of working with different operating systems. Whatever you develop for a phone, you have to develop for both Android and iOS7, both of which are constantly updating, Carroll said. Carroll said the new app will be good for the department and the school as a whole. If these trends are true, we dont want to

wake up and find ourselves marginalized, Carroll said. We want to keep ourselves mainstream. We want as many people to see our students work as possible.

within the past year. The GBI began investigating the allegations in July after being contacted by the Marion County Sheriffs Office. The investigation has been ongoing since then, and the case remains an open act of investigation, Randle said. A court order issued in September restricted Kathryn Dawsey from using Webbs finances. However, transactions continued to be made from Webbs account, Randle said. Authorities executed a search warrant at Kathryn Dawseys Pike County home on Nov. 8. She was arrested and charged at that time, Danny Jackson, special agent in charge with GBI, told the Rome News-Tribune. According to the Rome NewsTribune, Kelsy Dawsey was arrested on Nov. 10 after she turned herself into the Pike County Sheriffs Office. Patricia Dawsey was arrested the next day after she turned herself in at the Marion County Sheriffs Office. Kelsy and Patricia Dawsey are no longer enrolled at Berry, Jeanne Mathews, Berrys assistant vice president of public relations and marketing, said. Dale Benik, a relative of Webb, said the family is very concerned about the situation but declined further comment.

MARTHA VAN CISE, DIRECTOR OF THE ACADEMIC SUPPORT CENTER, IS RETIRING at the end of 2013. Van Cise has helped students with special needs succeed academically for 12 years.
John has been very successful, and I feel very fortunate in being a part of it. Van Cise said that for these students, academic accommodations include extra time or an alternative text to help level the playing field with their peers. Without those, they are at a disadvantage in the classroom, Van Cise said. Its not about getting them something they dont deserve or disadvantaging other students. It allows them to demonstrate what they know. And without those, its difficult for them to do that. Van Cise said she truly loves her job and will miss her work and the students dearly. Ill miss the kids, Van Cise said. I wouldnt be here if I did not enjoy student contact. Ill miss knowing that Im helping someone. While Van Cise will be missing her time at the Academic Support Center, others said they will miss her and her passion for the program. Senior Brandi Tyson, who has worked as a receptionist for the ASC and a volunteer tutor, said her time working with Van Cise at the ASC was a highlight of her career at Berry. Ever since I began working there my sophomore year, Ive loved walking into the office every day because [Van Cise] has a spitfire personality and is one of the most honest and true people I know, Tyson said. Her bold personality makes her an advocate for her students, so they can receive their proper accommodations. Ms. Van Cise is more than my boss. Shes a close friend and role model. Kim Sippel, secretary for the ASC, has worked with Van Cise since 2011, and she said she has enjoyed working with Van Cise. There have been so many great things that [Van Cise] has done for this program. I will miss working for her and with her, Sippel said. Van Cises last day of work will be Dec. 31. She said her plans for the future after retirement are still undetermined. [I plan to do] whatever I want to do, when I want to do it, Van Cise said.

RACHEL YEATES
copy editor
Hello, my name is Rachel Yeates, and Im a vegetarian. This usually doesnt turn out to be the greatest conversation starter. For some reason, vegetarians and vegans have been caricatured into pretentious, tofuguzzling, animal rights extremists (Your bacon touched my tofu-scrambleits been contaminated!), but I can assure you that is not the case. When someone finds out Im a vegetarian, the first question Im always asked is why? Its only natural to be curious. Some people chose to eliminate meat for health reasons, others for religious reasons. Me, I disagree with factory farming and the unethical treatment of animals. After they know, though, theres usually some apprehension. Theyll realize theyre eating a piece of chicken and look down at their plate, suddenly embarrassed. I dont mind, I assure them. I dont have a convert quota to meet. What you eat should be your choice, but make sure its an informed one. The questions continue: Wait? Do you still eat dairy? Do you have to take vitamin supplements? How do you get enough protein? Let me bring you up to speed. Many people identify as vegetarian, but some people eliminate only meat products, some eliminate meat products and dairy, and still others eliminate meat products, dairy and eggs. If you should choose to remove all animal products from your diet, you are a vegan. But any combinations of the above are possible. Western meals have fallen into a protein rut. My mom, when learning how to cook, was taught to center each meal around meat. This idea runs through almost every meal in western society. But 1) meat is not the only source of
too if there are no meatless entrees. The food still tastes good, it just takes a little longer to order. As the vegetarian, I make it my responsibility to make sure I am getting all the nutrients I need, and if that means bringing a portabella mushroom to a grill out, I am glad to do it. What about the cost? Healthy food is often automatically assumed to be super expensive, and if all you buy are processed meatless frozen dinners and the like, then yes, it is expensive. But if you buy vegetables and fruits and make them into meals that can give you leftovers for a couple days, you are saving money. But what about eating in the dining hall? Although this is only my first year at Berry, Ive been very satisfied with all our dining hall offers by way of vegetarian meals. I love how clearly they mark whether or not a dish has meat, and, if nothing else looks good, the salad bar is fully stocked. Also: there is always pizza. In recent years, vegan culture, sustainable and environmentally friendly eating and living, has become more easily accessible. Vegan restaurants and clothing have become more popular and, therefore, easier to find. Just up the road in downtown Rome is a quaint little health food store, Purple Mountain Natural Foods, and the new Publix has a good health food section as well as a great stock of fruits and vegetables. If you take anything away from this, I hope its that not all vegetarians are crazed neo-hippies, you have to power to control what you eat and it doesnt take much effort to change your diet for the better. Even if vegetarianism is not in your future, I hope you will consider what all went into the food on your plate and make sure you are eating a variety of foods. Never be afraid to try something new!

Three commentaries from editors arguing for their favorite Thanksgiving Day entres.
vs.
Turkey
Turkey is by far the best Thanksgiving Day option. The tradition of eating turkey is more American than ham in every way. If you look up Thanksgiving Dinner on Wikipedia, it brings up the fact that turkey is the typical center dish within the first few lines, which supports my position. Turkey practically defines the Thanksgiving Day meal. Dressing, another Thanksgiving Day favorite is frequently made from a poultry broth, and, while some people do choose to use chicken broth instead, others make it from the less desirable cuts of the turkey. So if you were to go for ham instead of turkey, you would lose not one, but two of your favorite holiday dishes. Aside from this, dressing can also be referred to as stuffing, which comes from the fact that it is a dish you can put inside a turkey. You cant really stuff a ham, unless you want to go the suckling pig route, but no one really wants to see that on the Thanksgiving Day table. Turkey and dressing are like peanut butter and jelly; you can have them separately, but their union is a classic. The turkey is also just the symbol of Thanksgiving Day. The fall colors of the birds feathers, and its longstanding rank of being the bird of choice, make it an obvious centerpiece dish. Turkey gives everyone an option because it has both dark meat and light meat, and it makes great sandwiches for a week after the actual meal day. The leftover possibilities of turkey are endless. It can be put into a whole host of soups, casseroles and sandwiches, and no one would ever even know you used leftover meat in it. Is that gross? Maybe. But so cost effective! You can see the turkey wherever you go this time of year. There are even local races named after the famous bird. From the Gobble Jog in Marietta to the Turkey Trot in Johns Creek to the Turkey Day 5K in Norcross, people subject themselves to 3.1 miles of movement of some sort on Thanksgiving Day morning so they can justify eating the amount of turkey they intend to consume. Besides, running gives you endorphins, endorphins make you happy and happy people eat turkey. If you want to be happy this Thanksgiving friends, choose turkey. Finally, think of the wonderful relaxed feeling of sleepiness that we so lovingly dub the food coma. Turkey contains tryptophan, which allows you to produce serotonin, which allows you to relax and sleep. While more recent studies have shown that the effects are insignificant, it may still have some impact and it is totally worth it. While results may vary, and other dishes consumed may influence outcomes, turkey definitely plays a role in the post-feasting mellow. Overall, turkey is just the more popular, more common choice. Yes, both ham and turkey are delicious, but turkey is such a Thanksgiving tradition that it cannot be replaced.

APRIL HEARN,
You probably think Im crazy, but I cant imagine celebrating Thanksgiving with out a HoneyBaked Ham, or baked ham in general. Sure, turkeys are generally associated with Thanksgiving and baked ham with Christmas, but I firmly believe that ham is the superior holiday entre! I have four main arguments: 1. Ham has fewer calories than the currently popular fried turkey. Coming in at 125 calories and 5 grams of fat per 3 ounce serving HoneyBaked Ham beats out fried turkey, which has about 200 calories and 10.4 grams of fat per 3 ounce serving. Sure, 3 ounces of ham/turkey seems like a good portion in theory, but in reality 3 ounce is only the size of your palm considering I usually go back for seconds or thirds, the ham is becomes the clear winner if Im actually trying to watch my calorie intake during the holidays. 2. Ham has more protein. When comparing the nutritional facts of ham and turkey, I observed that a standard 3 ounce serving of ham had 18 grams of protein versus turkey which has 13 grams. Sure, its only a 5 gram difference, but the more protein the faster you get full. So, because ham has more protein, Im probably going to get fuller faster and, therefore, consume fewer calories. 3. I have two words for you: HoneyBaked Ham. Sure, HoneyBaked also puts their delicious glaze on turkey, but from personal experience the glaze brings out the rich flavor of the ham and tries to cover up the fact that turkey has no flavor. Yah, I said it! Turkey has no flavor. And who wants to spend Thanksgiving (a holiday defined by a meal) eating bland food? 4. Ham is the perfect option for people looking for alternative option to Turkey. Turkey is so mainstream. And who wants to eat what everybody else is eating?
I have been a vegetarian for approximately four and a half years, which has given me some experience in adapting holiday menus to fit my eating practices. For the record, I am a total vegetarian. I do not eat chicken, fish, or any type of bird. This makes it a bit difficult when most holiday meals are defined by their meat centerpieces, i.e. turkey at Thanksgiving and ham at Christmas and New Years. Its even harder in the South, where most add meat to any dish possible. This means ham in the collards, ox tail in the green beans, chicken broth in the stuffing, meatbased gravy, etc. My wonderful mother has done a great job making sure that I dont feel left out on these special days. First of all, being a vegetarian on Thanksgiving rocks because you can fill your plate with side dishes and no one bats an eye. No more portioning out your plate to make sure that your side dishes dont overwhelm the meat and no more excessive amounts of meat on your plate that make you look like youre about to join Carnivores Anonymous. Plus, my mother is a control freak about the dinner, like most mothers, which means everything is guaranteed to be vegetarian friendly. No wondering about whether or not something is safe to eat, having to take tiny bites or enlisting a family taste test to make sure no meat is ingested accidentally. It is a safe zone. Also, any and all guests are informed well ahead of time about my eating preferences and only bring vegetarian dishes. But what do you have instead of meat? you must be asking. Well, Im glad you ask. While collards, green beans and yams are super delicious, the plate feels a bit empty without a well-defined main dish. Having noodles or something is a bit awkward because it detracts from the spirit of the holiday, so I add some type of soy dish instead. My favorite is soy beef tips with bell peppers and onions. They are actually pretty delicious and make my tummy generally happy. Also, no one ever really wants to try the soy dish. This leaves tons for me and my gluttony. But, Austin, come on. You have to admit that you miss meat. I mean think about it! Well, dear critic, on holidays I really dont miss the meat too much. Blasphemy, I know, but hear me out. There seems to be this widespread myth that vegetarians hate meat. Im not sure where this comes from, but I would like to dispel this. On the whole, the vegetarians Ive met (including me) like meat. We just choose not to eat it. We all have different reasons for not choosing to eat meat, but most of us do like the taste of meat in some form or another. So, why dont I like meat on Thanksgiving? I dont know about you, but it never seems to be warm. Especially the ham. Always the ham. Plus, you get all these weird misshapen pieces of turkey and there is never enough to really make you full. The sides, in my experience, are what really get the pants buttons popping. Nice filling mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and all of those delicious green things. Yum.

To commemorate the 175th anniversary of the Trail of Tears, the office of Multicultural & International Student Programs invited Little Big Mountain and the Iron Horse dancers to share the songs and dances of the Native American people. The performers silenced the audience before they even took stage. Their bright, multicolored regalia, which was authentic and accurate to the period, announced their every step with the jingle of the beads adorning their clothing. All eyes were on Little Big Mountain when he took the stage and played a song on the wooden flute. I was born into this, Little Big Mountain said. I was three days old when I was first on stage. Despite this introduction, the performance was not all serious. You guys look scared, Little Big Mountain said. Dont worry we dont scalp people anymore. Now we have casinos and we scalp your wallets.

the 2012 conference tournament, we decided that we were not going to be a team to settle for less than we are capable. We set really high standards for ourselves, and decided to work really hard in the off-season and over the summer. So, not only did we meet our goal of winning conference again, but we exceeded our own expectations and made it to Regional semifinals. Quinn finished her college career with a team-high 30 assists. I couldnt be happier ending my career going that far into the tournament, Quinn said But Im mostly thankful to end my career with this group of girls. I have never had better teammates. Despite the 1-3 loss to the Eagles, the game was statistically close. The Vikings only trailed the Eagles in blocks 5-8, in digs 59-67 and led the Eagles in aces with six to their five. Freshman libero Katie Truluck tallied a match-high with 26 digs. The biggest statistical discrepancy for the Vikings was in overall match hitting percentage; the Vikings posted a .81 hitting percentage to the Eagles .269. Despite the loss, many of the players said, that while they were disappointed, they were still very excited and satisfied with their performance this season. I am definitely proud of our season and all that we accomplished during it, Stromberg said. Sure, it didnt end the way we would have liked, with a national championship trophy, but we were able to participate in the NCAA tournament for the first time ever, and that was a great accomplishment and a great experience. The Vikings finished the 2013 season with an overall record of 28-8. Our theme for this year was Leave a Legacy, Robinson said. I am so proud of the legacy that this team is leaving and the standards they have set for every Berry volleyball team coming behind them.

Berry College hosted the 2013 Berry College Basketball Classic Friday and Saturday. Both the Men and Womens Basketball teams were defeated by Covenant College on Friday. However, both teams won their games on Saturday. The Lady Vikings defeated the Agnes Scott Scotties, 76-38. Head coach Stephanie Dunn said that, although she was not happy with the focus of the team on Friday, she was not shocked with the outcome of the game on Saturday. We have a talented team, Dunn said. On Friday, we didnt make shots that we usually make with ease. The mistakes we made are easy mistakes that can be fixed and I think that we will look better down the stretch. Dunn said that the Lady Vikings looked like the team that she expected them to be on Saturday. We came out focused, we worked hard from start to finish, we made the shots that we are accustomed to making, and we executed our game plan Dunn said. Junior guard Chanlir Segarra said that they have high expectations for the rest of the season. Coach Dunn has prepared us extremely well and I have a lot of confidence in our team, Segarra said. We have been set up with the tools to achieve the conference championship and that if we calm down and play with that ability, anything is within our reach. The Vikings defeated the Huntingdon Hawks, 79-76. Not only were they successful in winning the game, the Vikings were able to defeat the Hawks with only four men on the court with only a few minutes on the clock. Head coach Jeff Rogers said that he is very proud of the guys and is excited about the season as the new coach for the Vikings. The team embraced a change in culture and won a game off of sheer determination, Rogers said. It was good to see them play that hard and care that much about winning and fighting that hard to be successful. With only two minutes remaining on the clock, the Vikings were down to only four players: sophomore guard Lee McCloud, sophomore forward Owen Jacobs, senior guard Hunter Smoak and freshman point guard Brandon Park. McCloud said that the pressure was on as one of the four players left in the game. I felt like we had a slow start, McCloud said. The normal energy wasnt there. When all the players fouled out, I felt like it was part of my job to step up as a play-maker in order to make a win happen. It was amazing. During the last two minutes, the emotions were running high, it was a great atmosphere, and all the fans were on their feet. The Lady Vikings will return to action against Lagrange, on Nov. 30, for the SAA/ USA South Classic Shootout at the Cage Center at 4 p.m. The Vikings will play at Emory & Henry College on Nov. 23 at 3 p.m.

Bust-a-Move Bollywood
Semi-Formal was this past weekend. It was hosted by KCAB, and it was Bollywood themed. Students had the opportunity to dance with their friends, receive Henna tattoos and try the oxygen bar that night in the ballroom.
HENNA TATTOOS ARE GIVEN for free by senior Grace McMullen.
DATES TRAVELED to accompany their dates, like freshman Morgan Bozydajs boyfriend.
FRIENDS WENT out in groups to the dance, which is customary; sophomore Allie Reed, freshman Chandler Brooks and Nicole Surla and juniors Sydney Perry and Jordan Epperson exemplified this behavior.
