JUNIOR RACHEL QUILLIN HAS BEEN AWARDED a scholarship for her involvement with the honor society Lambda Sigma.
chapter to fellowship with each other but people across the campus and off the campus, Martin said. Martin said Quillin got involved an organization in Rome and started a program to teach children how to read. She identified the Open Door Childrens Home and got membership of the chapter involved with it, Martin said. What she discovered is that these children are functionally illiterate because they dont have parenting at home, so she started a literacy program for the Open Door Childrens Home, and that really caught a lot of peoples attention. Quillin said she was very surprised when she learned she had received the scholarship. I wasnt necessarily anticipating anything, and I hadnt heard anything in a while, so I thought that somebody else had probably been named, but I was definitely very flattered and honored to have received it, Quillin said. Martin was also very excited when he found out that Quillin had received the scholarship. I was elated, Martin said. Its the first time its happened to a Berry student, and, as soon as I found out about it, I wanted to make sure there was some PR on it. Quillin said the scholarship was worth $500 and she was allowed to use the money in any way she wanted. I personally have used a lot of it [the scholarship money] to go towards the Open Door Home and my program there, Quillin said. Martin said students who are interested in scholarships such as the one Quillin received need to identify and pursue their passions. Just like Rachel, they need to stand out from the crowd, Martin said. Identify what your passion is, find out how you can plug in to that passion, and, when you are doing something that you enjoy doing and helping others along the way, you cant help but get noticed.

BERRY WILL CONTINUE to have billboards in Tennessee after reaching a settlement with the Tennessee Higher Education Commission. The THEC had asked Berry to pay a fee to advertise in Tennessee.
Berrys lawsuit in June and said that the suit should be handled in a federal court in Tennessee. Berry and THEC then reached a settlement out of court. The settlement provides a waiver of THEC rules for advertising and solicitation. Berry College President Stephen R. Briggs said he was satisfied with the settlement. We are very pleased that the settlement agreement provides exactly the resolution we were looking for, Briggs said in an Oct. 28 news release. It is important that high school students and their families have open access to the information they need to make informed college decisions, and that colleges compete on a level playing field in the market.

Having the seventh-most passing yards in the National Football League (NFL) and a total quarterback rating of 91.7 across eight games is impressive. The Atlanta Falcons quarterback, Matt Ryan, is responsible for these statistics. Completing 225 out of 332 (68%) of attempted passes isnt too bad either. Throwing 15 touchdowns to 10 interceptions across eight games is well, that could be a better statistic, but its not necessarily horrible, especially considering the fact that Ryan has thrown for at least one touchdown in 14 straight games. These statistics look pretty good on paper, and they are solid statistics to hold as a franchise quarterback. But if your team cannot win games, then statistics mean nothing. Across their first eight games, the Falcons compiled a pathetic 2-6 record. This is their worst starting record since 2007 when Michael Vick, who currently plays for the Philadelphia Eagles, was jailed, and head coach Booby Petrino subsequently bailed on the team. That year, the Falcons compiled a 4-12 record, which still stands as the franchises worst record since 1996. And this seasons team is on track to do just as badly. But, I am not giving up all hope for the Falcons yet, as they do have great talent on their roster. Amongst that talent, they have a solid quarterback in Ryan who, despite his post-season incompetence, has lead the team to five-straight wining seasons. His rookie season, 2008, was the turnaround year for the franchise as current head coach Mike Smith was hired, and a new host of personnel both on the coaching staff and team were added. In 2008, Smith signed Michael Turner, who up until last year was one of the best rushers in the game, from
Falcons roster. The Falcons picked Julio Jones in 2011 after they traded four picks in the draft to the Cleveland Browns in order to move up in the draft. Since his NFL debut with Atlanta, Jones has made a name for himself, not only on the Falcons roster but also across the NFL. In his rookie season, he tallied 959 yards and eight touchdowns on 54 receptions. Last season, he was targeted 129 times and made 79 catches on his way to 1,198 yards and 10 touchdowns which landed him in the top 20 for receivers last season. At the beginning of this season, Jones had the most catches and yards in the NFL across the Falcons first five games, tallying 41 receptions and 580 yards in only five games. Despite Jones numbers, the Falcons still had a measly 1-4 record across those five games prior to Jones breaking his foot and requiring season-ending surgery. Aside from the amount of season-ending injuries the Falcons have sustained, the team has experienced several other injuries that have put other starters, like Jackson or wide receiver Roddy White, out for weeks. But we can sit here and play the blame game because of injuries all day. But at the pro-level, all players are supposed to be competent enough to help carry the team should injuries occur, and that is the biggest problem with the Falcons. They do not have strong enough depth in their roster to carry the team when injuries occur. This is a major issue that the Falcons need to address as soon as possible if they want to return to winning form. While it is impossible to mimic the success of last season, I wouldnt count them out right away.

chevron sweaters, Fair Isle sweaters, polka dotted sweaters, floral sweaters, argyle sweaters, etc. Heck, I even have a sweater version of Hieronymus Boschs "The Garden of Earthly Delights." If it exists, it is probably on a sweater somewhere. Now that Ive made you allergic to the word sweater, I hope you too appreciate the glory and essentiality of a nice sweater. So next time youre at Goodwill, make sure to check out the sweater section. Youll probably see me there, so make sure to say hi.

One of the comfiest trends as of late is the flannel plaid button-down layered with a vest over top. It can be worn with jeans or dark leggings, boots and the go-to scarf for extra warmth.

Different neutrals look good layered together, as Kimberly has with her gray knit sweater and cream scarf over a simple black top. The burgundy corduroys give the neutrals a subtle color, and go well with the lacy black ballet flats.
The cold weather provides all sorts of new clothing possibilities. However, if you are looking to keep up with the latest looks, fashion can be exhausting. Layering can provide more options for your outfits, but then everything has to match or contrast in the right way, and there is the ever present struggle of knowing if your chosen ensemble is appropriate for the

Genius, a devised piece by Jan Lewis and Robert Fieldsteel, opens Thursday night at the E.H. Young Theatre. Directed by Lewis, performers from the Berry College Theatre Company give viewers a glimpse into the minds of geniuses. Based on true events, the play portrays the lives and times of Gertrude Stein, the avant-garde writer and collector of modern art, her lover Alice B. Toklas and their salon of artistic and literary visionaries in early 20th century France. The costumes are of subdued hues, occasionally enlivened with plaid and floral prints. Because members of the all-female cast often play male characters, their clothing is largely simple and gender-neutral; the use
of hats, coats and other props helps to differentiate between characters. Though pleasing, the costumes and set designs rightfully do not distract from the acting and the show. The show is a snapshot of the Parisian salon scene from the turn of the century to right after the Second World War. Though primarily concerned with the relationship between Stein and Toklas, other famous figures such as Pablo Picasso, George Braque and Zelda Fitzgerald also make appearances in Genius. Even if the play is appreciative of the time in which it is set, it is by no means nostalgic or sentimental. The vicious bickering, manipulations, and inflated egos of the era are depicted right beside the innovations. With the help of a well written show, the talented cast attempts to explain the complex nature of genius and celebrity. Freshman Hope Beebe, who played Gertrude Stein,
enjoyed the experience, though it was a difficult one. Playing Gertrude is a very intimidating experience, Beebe said. She is a hard character to play because she was such a strong woman and we are very different in many ways. It is very rewarding and fun, though, trying to accurately portray someone as complex as she was. Sophomore Heather Pharis also appreciated the chance to bring the iconic figures of George Braque and Zelda Fitzgerald to life. I am so glad that I am able to play these largerthan-life roles, said Pharis. Zelda Fitzgerald was such a fascinating, multifaceted woman; she has long been one of my personal heroes. As for Braque, he practically revolutionized art and the way we look at it. Getting into their heads was an experience I will never forget, Pharis said. Freshman Miranda Flack believes that the play is an important one because it tackles the still-relevant concept of celebrity. I think Genius is important because it examines both the legend

of the characters and who they actually were, Flack said. The show reveals that celebrities are people too, with f laws and all. It is a relevant play, so I think people should definitely come and see it.

OLIVIA MURPHY, staff photojournalist ABOVE: VIKINGS SENIOR RYAN JAMES LEADS the Vikings on their way to a second place finish in the Southern Athletic Association Cross Country Championship which was held at Berry. Below: Lady Vikings Senior Charlotte Collins led the Lady Vikings as she finished in fifth place overall. The Lady Vikings subsequently placed fifth.
Deaton said the region raters demonstrated confidence in the mens cross country team with the sixth place ranking heading into the region championship. Such a vote of confidence is encouraging, Deaton said. Of course, the final outcome will be our greatest interest. We are ready to compete with our best on the day that counts. Senior Brandon Davis said that, from an individual standpoint, the team had some guys step up big and run their best times of the season. Davis finished sixth overall with a time of 25:35:35. I couldnt ask for a better senior year, said Davis. I run with a great group of guys. Getting the opportunity to compete and improve alongside them has made it more than worthwhile. Klein and Myers also noted that the team is prepared and will continue
to go up from here. At the Berry College Cross Country Invitational on Saturday, Oct. 19, the mens team placed fifth out of 22 teams. They finished as the top NCAA Division III team. We have a very committed group of guys, said Myers. We know how
to push ourselves and each other to be faster. I am excited to see what the track season and the future holds. The next cross-country meet for the Vikings is on Saturday, Nov. 16, in the NCAA Division III South/ Southeast Region Championship at Christopher Newport University

Lady Vikings top Oglethorpe, close out regular season on seven-game win streak
The hat trick felt good, Midkiff said. It felt great to get the win and secure our spot. Hat tricks are fun, but it was important to get the win no matter who scored what goals. The Lady Vikings started off the game statistically conservative, scoring one goal and not allowing any goals by the Stormy Petrels. Three of the Lady Vikings five goals were scored within three minutes and 30 seconds of match play from each other to help put the game out of reach. The Lady Vikings lead the Stormy Petrels 21-3 in shots on goal. Oglethorpes sophomore goalkeeper Sarah Craig made 15 of the Stormy Petrels 16 saves, but earned the loss while Lady Vikings freshman goalkeeper Melissa Sanchez recorded two saves and earned the win. The win felt great, sophomore forward Sara Dillon said. it felt almost like we elected a female president. [The win was] just amazing! During the regular season, the Lady Vikings outscored their opponents 55-14. This margin was exciting to the Lady Vikings. Dillon compared scoring the amount of goals the team
