Berry experiences widespread flu outbreak

SAIF SARFANI
staff reporter

campus carrier

In the wake of the recent flu

outbreak, Berry strengthened its
preventive measures in the Health
and Wellness Center to help contain
infections, along with increased
efforts in residence halls to clean
surfaces and stairwells more
frequently.
There has been a significant rise
in flu cases in Georgia and the U.S.
recently, prompting individuals to
get flu shots and stay away from
those who are sick.
According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), 13 Georgians have died
because of the disease, and 450 have
been hospitalized as a result of their
symptoms.
Last year, the Health and
Wellness Center reported nine
cases of the flu, compared to this
school year, when at least 77 cases
have been reported. Only one or
two students have needed further
medical attention after receiving
initial treatment.
The increase in students getting
sick is due to exposure to the flu
virus and ineffective vaccinations.
According to the CDC, 48
percent of vaccinations have been
proven to be effective this year.
Since December 2014, the CDC has
received reports from multiple states
regarding
laboratory-confirmed
influenza infections in persons

who have paritosis, which is the
swelling of the salivary glands.
Though the U.S. experiences
flu epidemics each year, the CDCs
influence surveillance systems
have seen a higher number of cases
reported this year.
We have seen those who had the
vaccine this year come down with
the flu anyway. There are several
strains of flu and even a vaccine
at its best cannot cover them all,
Anita Errickson, director of the
Health and Wellness Center, said.
Also responsible is the mutation,
which occurred in one of the strains
since the vaccine was developed for

this year.
Each year a prediction has to
be made regarding the type of flu
likely to be seen the following year.
Then the vaccine takes months to
produce and cannot be altered once
in production.
Many students have recovered
from the flu, but some continue to
suffer. The outbreak has caused
many students to miss schoolwork
and sports practice.
I got the flu around last
Thursday. I doubt I still have it. It
was my choice not to get the flu
vaccine. I received a flu shot before

I went because it was very helpful.
Sophomore Brooke Brogdon got
the flu about three weeks ago and did
not get the flu vaccine beforehand.
I had bad aches and had to go
straight to bed after class while I
was sick, Brogdon said.
She was prescribed Tamiflu after
going to the Health and Wellness
Center to check her symptoms. She
had to take the medicine in pill form
twice a day for five days.
Luckily, her insurance covered
the majority of the costs. Brogdon
said over half of her entire swim
team got the flu and it damagedher
season, but not too bad academically
because it was at the beginning of
the semester when classes were just
starting to get tough.
I needed to get back into the

encouraged me to get the medicine
as soon as possible, Brogdon said.
The nurse tested me for flu, mono

In order to prevent more cases
from arising, Errickson advised
students to wash their hands more
often, avoid close contact with those
who cough and sneeze, get plenty of
sleep, eat a well-balanced diet and
get plenty of rest and exercise.

Viking Connections connects students and alumni

SARAH CASAGRANDE
staff reporter

The Viking Connections event, held

on Jan. 29, took students to the Invesco
Headquarters in Atlanta in order to meet up
with Berry alumni and scout out job and
internship opportunities.
In Georgia, Atlanta is the 800 pound
gorilla and thats where the jobs are, Mark
Kozera, director of employer development
and Viking Connections coordinator, said.
The free event ran from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
and resembled a cocktail hour, with a mixer
to introduce everyone, hors doeuvres served
and the students and alumni dressed in
business attire.
Kozera said the event, which is now in
its second year, has been a big success with
students. At the recent event 32 students and
27 alumni attended, significantly more than
last year. So many signed up that there was a
waiting list to attend.
(The students) get practice in performing
their elevator speech working in a
professional type setting, Kozera said. This
works for some as a catalyst for graduation
and to get a job.
At these events, many students found
leads on their careers. Senior Aaron Chastain

ended up with a summer internship last year

with Invesco through a Berry alum, and senior
Valerie Godwin got a summer internship with
Wiser Wealth Management.
Junior Haley Hasting attended Viking
Connections this year. She said the location
gave the event an executive feel and that
she was able to meet with three companies
and plans to apply for summer internships
with all of them.
It was evident that the employers in the
room were scouting for potential, Hasting
said. It felt nice to be recognized as someone
they would like to work with.
The event was an attempt for alumni to
reach out and connect with not only current
students, but with each other. The space was
left open for an hour afterwards in order to
allow alumni to say hello to each other and
have time to chat.
A classmate of mine from 1979 told me
he had not gone to a Berry event since he
graduated, but he got invited to this event and
found it worthwhile, Kozera said.
Overall, Kozera considered the event a
success.
Hasting said that she would definitely
attend next year, and Godwin looks forward
to using what she has learned at Berry in her
future career.
You can never get too much help,
Godwin said. Although Berry has prepared

to the perspectives of those who have already

will be held on Feb. 23 in Atlanta. Contact

Fifty Shades of Grey shows abuse

With
Valentines
Day
coming up, the movie theaters
are releasing romances to
be the perfect date idea for
couples. Based on the book of
the same name, the notorious
Fifty Shades of Grey will be
released Feb. 13, the day before
Valentines Day. With a theme
largely tied to BDSM, the film
was of course going to generate
some buzz. However, some of
the buzz surrounding Fifty
Shades of Grey is over whether
the film glorifies a healthy
relationship or a harmful and
unhealthy one.
Fifty Shades of Grey is
about a young woman who
gets involved with a slightly
older businessman. As their
relationship develops, the young
woman is drawn into a world of
sexual sadomasochism. Many
argue that this movie showcases
a relationship that is severely
damaging emotionally. Yet,
how exactly is this new for
Hollywood?
A few years ago, the
Twilight
franchise
drew
major flack for supporting what
many thought was an incredibly
disturbing relationship. The
critics have a point. The movie is
focused on an underage teenager
falling in love with an extremely
older man. The older man
proceeds to then stalk her and
watch her while she sleeps. The
sequel chronicles how the female
protagonist falls into despair
at the end of her relationship
and tries increasingly suicidal
things to try to feel closer to
him again. In later books, the

protagonist Bella comments on

how her relationships with her
school friends and parents are
suffering as she spends more and
more time with the love interest,
Edward. The media industry
has always walked a blurry
muddled line between what is an
emotionally abusive relationship
and what is romantic comedy
foreplay.
An article published on E!
online on June 25, 2014 lists
10 ways in which the romantic
classic The Notebook is
actually incredibly creepy. For
example, in the beginning of the
movie, the male love interest,
Noah, meets the female love
interest, Allie, while she is on
a date with another man at the
fair. When Allie and her date
ride the Ferris wheel, Noah
climbs up the Ferris wheel
when it is stopped near the top
and threatens to let go and fall
if Allie does not agree to go out
with him. This is a classic use of
emotional manipulation where
the abuser makes the victim
feel as if it is their fault for the
abusers harmful actions. Noah
also sabotages Allies date and
completely disregards Allies
possible feelings for her date.
The reason that Fifty
Shades of Grey is getting so
much attention for its unhealthy
relationship is because of the
subject matter surrounding it.
Instead of a cute light setting,
Fifty Shades of Grey has
strong themes of dominant
and submissive behavior in
its subject matter. Apparently
unless the word bondage and

Why we should never judge a book by its cover or by its screen

44

Im a reader. One of the most relaxing things to

me is just getting enough time off of school and other
extracurricular activities to sit down and read a good
story. Ive had a special relationship with books for most
of my life. Before I could even read them myself, my
mom would read me the Harry Potter series by J.K.
Rowling. In elementary school, I read abridged versions
of classic novels like The Three Musketeers and
Sherlock Holmes. When I got to high school, I would
try to check out over the limit of books allowed out at
one time, and the librarian let me because I was in there
so much. Basically, what Im saying is Im a major book
nerd and this trend has continued into college.
Fiction is especially my favorite, and I love the
different formats a story can take. I read print novels,
comic books and e-books. Yet, what Ive found is that
many look down on a story just because of what format
it takes. I know people who hate e-readers not only for
themselves as readers but as a technology at large.
I mainly got interested in e-readers simply because
before I could get my license, I couldnt always convince
my dad to drive me to a book store at every given hour of
the day. So, I started reading books on Amazons Kindle
app. This was also before I even had an e-reader so I
just used the app I could get on my computer. For me, it
wasnt so much about what form the story was in as much
as it was about what the story was about and how fast I
could get my hands on it.
I understand why many people hate e-readers for
personal use. Some people just cant get over the lack of

pages and general feel of a print book.

Thats okay. I understand that some people simply
prefer reading from print books and Im not saying that
they should have to change to a new technology. I do,
however, think that it is not only incredibly elitist but also
flat out rude to look down on others for how they read
their stories.
Notice that I call hardbound books print books
instead of real books or some similar term. Thats
because both e-books and print books are real books.
Its just a matter of formatting. A story is a story, no
matter how you are reading it.
A part of peoples antagonism towards e-readers
comes from an instinct to value what they are familiar
with. They see a new technology coming and are scared
they will have to give up what is comfortable to them.
They know what is familiar and dont want to learn
something new.
This is the same reason many senior citizens dont
want to learn how to use computer technology. In an
article published by AARP on Aug. 29, 2011, about
the elderly and a fear of technology, a researcher at
the Center for Research and Education on Aging and
Technology Enhancement, Neil Charness puts it like
this: If it takes you twice as long to learn something,
why would you invest that time when you could be
drawing on your crystallized intelligence your already
acquired knowledge. In other words, why find out about
something new?
However, in our technology driven age, this reasoning

VIKINGFUSION.COM

is simply not feasible. With new technology coming out

every day, if you want to stay up to date, you have to at
least keep up with the new technology coming out. In a
way, adaptability is one of the most important traits we
can cultivate in todays society.
Another problem people have with e-books comes
from what I believe to be a false dichotomy. They think
with the advent of e-books, they will have to give up their
print books.
An article published by The Wall Street Journal on
Jan. 5, 2013 offers the possible alternative that e-books
rather than replacing printed books, will ultimately
serve a role more like that of audio booksa complement
to traditional reading, not a substitute. Why is that?
Because there are some things that e-books cannot
replace. You cant exactly have e-books filling your
office shelves. They also cant replace the feel of pages
that many readers still enjoy.
E-books are not the perfect replacement that will do
away with print books. They are separate formats that
can be used for different purposes. By viewing this as
e-readers vs. print books, a false dichotomy is created
that is both unwanted and unnecessary. The unneeded
conflict again results from the fear that something they
love is being taking away. Since this is not the case,
both this fear and this false conflict can be left on the
wayside.
In other words, e-books are not a crime against
humanity coming to burn your print novels. They are
simply another way readers can enjoy a great story.

New Amazon store signals the death of other retailers

Imagine picking up a coffee in the Berry
Beanry and strolling into a completely
empty, but fully operational, Amazon retail
store. Instead of walking down the aisles of
Berrys current bookstore in search of your class
textbooks and supplies for the new semester,
what if you could simply pick up all the items
you purchased through a Berry-personalized
Amazon website with free one-day shipping?
Sounds too good to be true, doesnt it? Well,
at Purdue University, starting this semester
students can do just that.
Purdue is Amazons first campus drop-off and
pick-up location operated by actual Amazon
employees, and there are plans to build two
more at the University of California Davis and
the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
The campus locations offer a way for Amazon
to further take hold of the educational textbook
market, while at the same time rack in money
from busy students who need a wide variety of
objects for work or play.
College students who are not familiar with
shopping in the town in which they are in school,
or who do not have access to all the different
things they may or may not need, could simply
find their item online and pick it up the next day
on their way to class.
Students who have active Amazon Prime
memberships using purdue.amazon.com can

easily find books assigned to classes, and they

can also buy any Amazon item, as well as Prime
Campus eligible items that will be available for
pickup in just one day.
Once a student finalizes their virtual
shopping cart, they select Amazon@Purdue
as the shipping destination, and they will receive
an email or text when the item actually arrives.

This is an early sign

of a movement that
could influence shopping
behavior for not just
students, but for everyone.
The student can then pick up their item
whenever they feel like it from an Amazon
employee at the campus store.
These campus locations will likely become
the premier option for buying and selling
textbooks. Additionally, the locations serve as a
store with near-infinite stock and selection for
the students they serve, giving them little reason
to wander beyond the campus grounds to brickand-mortar retail for all but the most specialized
items.
This is an early sign of a movement that

could influence shopping behavior for not just

students, but for everyone.
As free one-day shipping and free returns
become more prevalent in online shopping,
consumers are losing interest in fighting their
ways through crowded malls in search of a
specific item.
While several retailers will be able to
exist, stores that sell specific items and do not
necessarily cater to a perusing shopping mindset
will likely begin to close in the coming years.
One recent example of this can be seen in the
closing of Radio Shack stores.
Amazons guinea pig project at Purdue will
be very telling of the future of retail. If the idea
catches on, many other retailers will likely enter
into competition with Amazon and we will begin
to see empty stores replacing stores as we know
them.
While this does offer an appealing
convenience charm, shoppers are not able to
physically try out items through the internet, nor
are they able to truly comprehend their reality.
So while these empty virtual stores may serve
a very practical purpose, they will surely not do
away with brick-and-mortar stores completely
at least not yet.
A decline in brick-and-mortar stores will fuel
the suppression of local start-ups and help big
businesses thrive.

The pointlessness of Valentines Day

Like
most
religiously
unaffiliated holidays, Valentines
Day has transformed into a day
made for commercialism and
capitalism. Every year, on Feb.
14, people are either reminded that
they are single, or obligated to feel
particularly romantic with their
special someone. The history of
the holiday is ambiguous, which
makes it that much less significant.
If youre single on Valentines
Day, everything is just a constant
reminder that you are just that,
single. Unless, of course, you
resort to having your mother or
best friend as your valentine, which
we all know just isnt the same. At
least if youre single on the holiday
you can stand to ignore it and treat
it for all that it is, just another day.
If youre in a romantic
relationship on Valentines Day,
you are constantly reminded
that you should be treating
your boyfriend or girlfriend
exceptionally special. The day is
set up for disappointment. Often
times, couples end up fighting on
Valentines Day because of, well
Valentines Day. The expectation
for your sweetheart to do something
spectacular for you then falling
short is a characteristic common
to most couples. Not only does
Valentines Day set up for fallen
short expectations, it also gives
couples the opportunity to mask
the problems that they have in their
relationship.
When a holiday isnt all its
lived up to be, it creates this catch22 phenomenon.

Like a lot of events in the

United States, Valentines Day is
another ploy for companies like
Hallmark and Russell Stover to
make money. Because of the strong
societal pressure to succumb to
special treatment, the companies
end up making out pretty well.
If you are indeed in a romantic
relationship, you shouldnt need a
special holiday to commemorate
your affection. Valentines Day is
the one day in which there is a cost
placed on your romance.
The history of Valentines Day
is arguably the most unclear of all
the non-religious holidays. There
is word of Cupid and St. Valentine,
but does anyone know the true
story behind these characters?
The day may have started out
with honorable intentions but has
become useless.
Perhaps the most disappointing
aspect of Valentines Day is that
youre expected to show extreme
affection for just those who youre
romantically involved with. For
most people in college, the closest
people in your life and the ones you
love the most are your family and
friends. Valentines Day shouldnt
be a day limited to just those in a
relationship, but open to anyone
who loves someone in any sense of
the word.
In theory, Valentines Day is
a good idea. The day has become
set up for disappointment for
single people and couples alike.
In the end, the day mostly benefits
the companies that see it as their
biggest money maker.

Love it.

The two oversee the everyday running of the business. This includes
processing, sales reports, ordering product, overseeing sales and driving to

The Jersey Milk enterprise is a part of the student work program. Walker
said students interested in being involved should check for emails about
openings in the Jersey Milk and other Berry enterprises.

The Jersey Milk enterprise is an on-campus organization that is

completely run by Berry students. The enterprise makes and sells cheese to
members of thecommunity.
Seniors Claire Walker and Tiffany Bouchard are co-CEOs, and oversee
all aspects of the business, from taking inventory, to setting up meetings to
overseeing sales.
Its been a great learning experience, Bouchard said. Its taught me not
only a lot about myself, but also about business in general. Its something I
will carry with me even when I leave Berry.
The enterprise includes both CEOs and two sales associates, who help
manage inventory and keep things running well. All four students work
under the supervision of Jersey Milk co-manager Addison Harbin.
She makes sure we dont mess anything up or completely run the
business into the ground, Walker said.
Harbin also co-manages the AgroEducation and Angus Beef enterprises.
Jersey Milk uses milk from the dairy, which is picked up by and taken to
a processing center, Udderly Cool Dairy, in Roopville, Ga. Once the cheese
is made, it is brought back to Berry and sold.
Jersey Milk sells the cheese on their website and at special events held
on Berrys campus. The most recent sale was Feb. 7 and they have a sale
about once a month.
Along with online sales and special events, the enterprise partners with
businesses in the Berry community. It provides cheese to restaurants such as
La Scala on Broad Street, Johnny Mitchells and Great Harvest Bread Co.
There will be a sale for faculty and staff on Feb. 27. The first order of
products for Great Harvest will be delivered later this week.
The money that the business makes goes towards buying new products
and expanding the enterprise.
Although it is not affiliated with the enterprise, Walker worked with the
dairy before she worked for Jersey Milk.
We dont actually milk the cows or anything like that, although if you
work at the dairy and work here you know both sides of it, Walker said.
Bouchard began working for the enterprise in spring 2014 and became
CEO the following summer.

The Berry Farms Angus Beef enterprise raises Black Angus cows and
sells their meat.
The cows are brought to Berry and are raised on campus for about eight
months until they are sent to West Georgia Processing in Carrollton, Ga., to
be slaughtered.
Once the meat is processed, it is returned to Berry and sold to the Rome
community.
The meat sold by Berry Farms is all-natural, meaning it has no artificial
flavors or colors. The cows that Berry owns are raised with no added
hormones or antibiotics.
The Angus Beef enterprise sells its meat at special events held on campus.
The enterprise holds a sale about once every two months.
It participated in the Feb. 7 sale along with Jersey Milk. Last year the
enterprise sold hamburger meat to Bella Roma. However, because of price
issues, that partnership ended.
The enterprise has four cattlemen who feed and tend to the cows, along
with a herd manager, business manager and CEO.
The herd manager oversees the cattlemen and is in charge of tending
the cows on campus. The business manager and CEO oversee the financial
aspects of the enterprise.
Junior Josh Moore is the CEO of Angus Beef. He oversees the six other
employees and coordinates the running of the business.
He started working with the cows his freshman year, and became CEO
the next year.
I have cattle back home, so when I came to Berry, I knew thats what I
wanted to do, Moore said.
In 2014, the Angus Beef enterprise made $20,000 in profits and over
$96,000 in revenue. Moore said this year their goal is to have over $100,000
of revenue.
Revenue from beef sales goes towards funding for both Angus Beef and
other Berry enterprises.

Males to read in Vagina Monologues

ANNABETH CRITTENDEN
asst. entertainment editor

A production about vaginas and sexuality may

seem like an odd way to spend Valentines Day, but
EMPOWERs annual production of The Vagina
Monologues by Eve Ensler is celebrating female
sexuality with two performances highlighting
vaginas.
And for the first year, this production will
include the addition of two male actors and the
addition of a new monologue delivered by males
in order to support the issues that the women face.
The production consists of 18 to 20
monologues written by Ensler and compiled into
a play that touches on different aspects of female
sexuality.
These aspects can range from sex to love to
domestic violence and rape. The monologues
are humorous at parts, and serious at others,
but designed to initiate talk about the power of
women and the issues they face.
Its a show about female sexuality, which
is clearly taboo. Its much less talked about
than male sexuality, senior Julia Jordan, the
co-director of the production, said. Its a thing
that exists and its natural and fine and nobody
needs to be ashamed of it.
Christina Bucher, associate professor of
English, rhetoric and writing and the faculty
adviser of EMPOWER has been involved with
the production for several years.
(The Vagina Monologues) get people
thinking about issues of gender, issues of
sexuality, issues of sexual abuse, issues of sexual
pleasure, issues about the body, Bucher said.
Its an eye-opening production for some people
and a celebratory production for many
people.
The production was originally
written in 1996 after Ensler
conducted a series of
interviews with
women of

MO

NO

varying ages, races and sexualities about their

views on their vaginas.
The piece is ever growing, as Ensler
continuously publishes more new monologues
for the productions.
In order to bring in the new male monologues,
Jordan contacted sophomore Connor Wright
when the two co-directors decided to include
a male monologue. Wright agreed to be in the
production after seeing it the previous year and
appreciating the message behind the piece.
Its important for guys to be in this show
because people will see the support of men for
ending violence against women, Wright said.
Through being involved in this, I hope to
understand (these problems) more and help solve
some of the issues that the show tries to fix.
After being involved with the production since
their freshman year both senior Julia Jordan and
junior Gabby Guevara received the opportunity
to co-direct the show.
I loved it so much I came back every year
and I decided I wanted to direct this year because
I knew it so well, Jordan said.
Guevara enjoyed challenging the actors and
actresses involved in the production and getting
them out of their comfort zones in order to help
the piece resonate more with the ones performing
the monologues. The co-directors attempted to
give the women in the cast a different monologue
than the one they had originally tried.
Freshman Tayler Wallace was cast with a
monologue called The Little Coochie Snorcher
That Could, which highlights the experience of
a little girl who has gone through years of sexual
assault.
The monologue, along with others in the
show, attempts to bring up these serious issues
with a more humorous viewpoint.
It sends a really good message about taking a
stand to stop the violence against women, and it
presents it in a really comical way which is great
because it helps people pay attention but still
realize that it is serious, Guevara said.
The production plans to have a lasting impact
on the audience. Those involved hope that
students and adults of all ages and genders come
to see the production because it will speak to
everyone.
Its educational,
its funny,

poignant at times, it can sometimes be a little

shocking for first time views, it gets people
talking about something that usually we dont
talk about or just talk about in a whisper, Bucher
said.
The show is also very different than the
usual production that students see performed as
it deals with a subject that can be awkward or
uncomfortable for students.
Its a different type of show than youd
expect Berry to put on. Theres profanity in it,
theres laughter and theres seriousness. Theres a
good contrast, Guevara said.
Everyone involved in the production hopes
that students of all genders come to see the show,
as there are lessons to be learned by everyone in
attendance.
I hope (the audience) realizes that the vagina
is not some scary place and its okay to talk and
laugh about vaginas, Wallace said. You dont
have to be so secretive about vaginas.
The original production created an alternative
to Valentines Day, called V-Day.
V-Day is an activist movement to end violence
against women and first began in 2001. V-Day
campaigns help produce the annual productions
of The Vagina Monologues, as well as give
organizations materials to raise awareness of
violence against women.
In order to give back and support the
awareness, EMPOWERs production is a
fundraiser for Women of W.O.R.T.H. in Rome.
Women of W.O.R.T.H. is a non-profit clinic for
womens reproductive health care. It offers health
screenings, birth control, STD testing, medical
follow-up for sexual assault cases, counseling
and preventive lab work for a low cost. They also
offer free condoms and pregnancy tests.
The Vagina Monologues will be
performed in Krannert Underground on
Feb. 13 and 14 at 8 p.m. Tickets
cost $3 and all proceeds
will go to benefit
the Women of
W.O.R.T.H.

Audra McDonald breaks Tony Award record

This article is the second part of a four-week series honoring black entertainers and artists.
ANNABETH
CRITTENDEN

asst. entertainment
editor

Audra McDonald is a leading

lady on Broadway who has won
six Tony Awards, which is more
than any other actor. She has
also received a Tony in every
acting category in which she was
eligible: Best Performance by a
Featured Actress in a Musical, Best
Performance by a Featured Actress
in a Play, Best Performance by a
Leading Actress in a Musical and
Best Performance by a Leading
Actress in a Play.
McDonald was born in Berlin,
Germany but grew up in Fresno,
Calif. She began doing theater at
an early age, performing with the
local theater in her hometown,
called the Good Company Players
Junior Company. After she
graduated from high school, she
chose to study classical voice at
The Juilliard School.
After she graduated, she went
almost immediately to Broadway
and within a year she had won her
first Tony award for the musical
Carousel.
Over the next five years,

McDonald collected two additional

Tony awards for her work in
Master Class and Ragtime.
At this point, she was the only
Broadway actress who had won
three Tony awards before turning
30.
In 2004, she won her fourth
Tony award for A Raisin in the
Sun. In 2012, she won for The
Gershwins Porgy and Bess,
and in 2014 she made history by
earning her sixth Tony award for
Lady Day at Emersons Bar &
Grill.
However, McDonald did not
remain concretely on the Broadway
stage. In 2006, she starred in her
first opera at the Houston Grand
Opera, where she performed in
La voix humaine. Over the next
few years she performed in several
other operas, even earning two
Grammy Awards for her work.
She has sung with almost every
major orchestra in the U.S. and has
premiered work from John Adams,
a Pulitzer Prize winning composer.
She made her debut in Carnegie
Hall in 1998, with a broadcast that
was live on PBS.
In television, McDonald has
starred in the CBS show Having
Our Say: The Delany Sisters
First 100 Years. She then went
on to co-star in the 1999 remake

of Annie that played on the

Wonderful World of Disney on
ABC.
She went on to get an Emmy
nomination for her performance
in Wit, which starred Emma
Thompson. She guest starred on
several shows and played recurring
roles in shows such as NBCs
Kidnapped and ABCs Private
Practice.
She also received an Emmy
nomination for a made-for-TV
version of Raisin in the Sun, in
which she reprised the role that
won her fourth Tony award. Most
recently, McDonald played Mother
Abbess when NBC telecasted The
Sound of Music Live starring
Carrie Underwood.
Outside
of
the
theater,
McDonald is a fierce advocate
of marriage equality. She helps
with campaigns such as Freedom
to Marry, Parents, Family, and
Friends of Lesbian And Gays NYC
(PFLAG) and NOH8.
In 2012, she and her husband,
Will Swenson, received the
PFLAG Nationals Straight for
Equality Award. In 2014, she
joined the Covenant House, a
program that works to create and
oversee programs for homeless
and trafficked LGBT youth in the
United States.

In 2000, McDonald married
bassist Peter Donovan. They
have one daughter, Zoe, to whom
McDonald frequently dedicates
her Tony Award wins.
However, the couple divorced
in 2009. McDonald then married
Swenson in 2012 and the three live
in Croton-on-Hudson, NY.
McDonald also owns two dogs,

Butler and Georgia, whom she

adopted from an organization that
saves dogs from being euthanized.
According to her personal
website, McDonald was most
recently traveling the West Coast
with her national touring concert
before making her debut at the
Rochester Philharmonic on Jan.
17.

Last Week Tonight returns for winter

COMMENTARY BY
JESS BOZEMAN
opinions editor

HBOs Last Week Tonight with John

Oliver returned for a second season this
past Sunday, bringing with it Olivers
satirical reporting on current issues.
Produced by HBO, Last Week Tonight is
a satirical news show in the same vein as
Comedy Centrals The Daily Show and
The Colbert Report. Last Week Tonight
first premiered last year and is hosted by
comedian and former correspondent of the
The Daily Show, John Oliver.

The Colbert Report ended recently and

this past Tuesday Jon Stewart announced
that it would be his last year hosting The
Daily Show.
I personally like Last Week Tonight a
bit better than the other satire news shows
because Oliver tends to focus more on
international issues as well as national issues.
For example, on Olivers first show of last
season, he did a bit on the Indian election,
which was really interesting because I did
not know a lot about it.
For Sundays premiere show, one
of Olivers first bits was about a U.S.
congressman who has had his office
decorated to resemble the show Downton
Abby. Oliver mocked the congressman for

both his decorating choice and his response

to criticism. When asked about his office, the
congressman responded by quoting Taylor
Swift and saying haters gonna hate. Oliver
poked fun at the Congressmans attempt to
show hes in touch with younger voters by
saying you are definitely a crusty old white
guy if you think Taylor Swift was the first
person to say haters gonna hate.
Oliver then went to a segment commenting
on the scandal between the president of
Argentina and the Chinese government. On
a visit to China, the Argentinian president
sent a tweet with a mocking Chinese accent.
Oliver commented, That is a level of
clueless racism on the internet youd expect
from a Dartmouth sorority pledge.

Oliver followed with a piece mocking

Americas apathy towards the closing of the
almost century old company Radio Shack
which filed for bankruptcy recently. Oliver,
in a parody commercial, reminded viewers
of all the things Radio Shack has done for
them over the years, like selling the remote
controlled toys they played with as kids. He
ended the parody commercial with a great
piece of black comedy on how viewers
shouldnt mock Radio Shack because we
will all die and then Radio Shack will dance
on our graves.
While the smaller segments were
hilarious Olivers big moment of the show
came when he discussed how pharmaceutical
representatives target doctors who in turn,
thanks to unethical bribery, might
prescribe patients drugs they dont
need.
One of the things I like most
about Olivers show is the amount
of research that goes into it. For this
episode, Oliver pulled interviews
from
former
pharmaceutical
representatives and prescription
drug commercials as he outlined a
grim tale of what doctors may be
doing.
He then, like in many shows,
offered the audience a possible
solutionor at least a partial
alleviantby telling them about a
website where they can check when
money a doctor has received from
pharmaceutical representatives.
With his mix of national and
international issues and his amazing
blend of humor with incredibly
important, serious issues, Oliver
presented a good start to what Im
sure is going to be a fantastic second
season.

Baseball opens with three wins

10

NICK VERNON
sports editor
The baseball team started their
2015 season on the right foot. The
team defeated Guilford College,
2-1, on Friday, and then again, 9-3,
on Saturday.
On Tuesday, the baseball team
defeated LaGrange College, 8-3,
for their third straight win of the
season. The game was originally
going to be played at LaGrange, but
was moved to Berry because of poor
field conditions.
The Vikings recorded a total of 13
hits in their win against LaGrange.
Senior outfielder Kevin Scott
batted three for five, noting that he
has been seeing the ball well at the
plate.
I thought against LaGrange I
had better approaches at the plate,
he said. The team played well, but
we definitely have a lot to work on.
Scott said he feels the team is on
track to play conference opponents
by the end of February.
Our team just takes it one day at
a time and looks to get better every
single time we step on the field,
he said. We have so much depth
at every position and everyday at
practice everyone has someone
behind them pushing them to work
that much harder which holds
everyone accountable.
In their first game against
Guilford, the Vikings won a close
game in which junior pitcher Ben
Jernigan allowed only two hits.
Junior outfielder Dusty Tyson,
senior infielder Alex McGill,
sophomore infielder Hunter White
and senior outfielder Ryan Smith all
collected hits for Berry.
Even with his hits in the game,
White said he is most confident on
defense.
I feel like no ball can get by me,
and I want the ball to be hit to me
every time, he said.
White said the biggest strength
of the team is neither offense nor
defense, but rather the teams
chemistry.
I have never been on a team
as close as ours is, he said. All
of the guys work together for one
goal, wether they are playing or in
the dugout. Nobody is selfish. Other
than that, hitting is a huge strength
this year.
The following day Berry
defeated Guilford, this time by a
score of 9-3 with Berry collecting a
total of 15 hits and Guilford having
eight.
McGill had the hot bat for Berry
as he went five for five at the plate
with four singles and a double.
Tyson and Smith both had two hits,
and sophomore in-fielder Alfred
Francis and Scott each had two
RBIs.
Jernigan hit a three run home
run in the fourth inning to help put
the game out of reach. Sophomore
pitcher Will Estes was awarded the
win for the Vikings.
Estes said he believes the teams
pitching will improve as the season
goes on.
Our pitching isnt as strong as

its going to be, but by the time
we get to conference I am very
confident we will be where we need

to be, he said.
The baseball team will play this
Saturday at 12 p.m. and again at

College at Bowdoin Field. Emory
and Henry is currently 0-3 overall.

Mens basketball returns from a successful weekend

MARIE COLLOP
asst. sports editor
The mens basketball team had an
exciting weekend of games on Friday and
Sunday. The team won both games against
two in-conference opponents, BirminghamSouthern College (BSC) and Millsaps
College.
The Vikings had a come from behind win
against BSC on Friday, coming back from as
much as a 22 point deficit during the game.
Junior Owen Jacobs led the team on Friday,
scoring 23 points and earning his fifth doubledouble of the year. For his efforts, Jacobs
was named the Southern Athletic Association
(SAA) player of the week. He is the first
Berry mens basketball player to earn this
honor since the team joined the conference.
Junior Lee McCloud made a three-point
shot in the closing minutes of the fourth
quarter to give the Vikings the lead that they
needed. McCloud came in clutch with his
free throws in the final seconds of the game,
ensuring a win for Berry.
After winning an exciting game on Friday,
Berry came out on Sunday and earned their
first ever SAA weekend sweep, defeating
Millsaps College 66-60. Both games proved
to be a complete team effort with eight
different team members scoring in the double
digits over the weekend.
Going into the weekend, head coach Jeff
Rogers said this year the teams biggest focus
has been on improving every day.
We have a very young team, so all year
long our focus has been on getting better
every day at practice and in games, Rogers
said. Going into the second half of the
conference season we felt like having
played everybody once, we had a really good
opportunity to win a couple home games.
Jacobs said his biggest expectations for the
team were to keep getting better and figure
out a way to get over the hump. He said
that you always want to be playing your best
going into the SAA conference tournament.
With a team that has 10 different freshmen
on it, Rogers said every game has brought
about a new situation for the team.
We knew going into halftime (against

College on Sunday.
BSC) that they were not 20 points better than
us, Rogers said. We also didnt feel like we
had given them our absolute best effort.
Jacobs said he believes that the big win
against BSC was a total team effort.
All of our guys gave significant
contributions, and with everyone contributing,
we really dominated the second half and were
able to get a win, Jacobs said.
The weekend would be a good stepping
stone for the team, who has two more
conference weekends before the tournament
starts.

Our guys are very aware that this

weekend was more of a launching point for
us, instead of a culmination of the end of the
season, Rogers said.
Jacobs said he believes that this weekend
truly showed the team their place in
conference. One of the main things we can
take away from this weekend is the fact that
we are right there knocking on the door, and
can play with anyone in our league, Jacobs
said.
As for the remainder of the season and
going into the conference tournament,

McCloud said he believes this team can do

great things.
We believe that we are very talented, and
that the sky is the limit for us moving forward
as long as we continue to work hard and give
our best efforts, McCloud said. We have
felt that way all season.
The Vikings will travel to Hendrix
College and Rhodes College this weekend,
and will return home the following weekend
to finish out conference play versus Centre
and Sewanee on Feb. 20 and 22. The team is
currently 7-14.
