Student Newspaper Since 1944September 2012

More than

$20,000 o textbooks were

stolen rom universitiesaround middle Tennessee

this summer, including

Trevecca.

Never ear, Trev-

ecca security stood up

among its university peers

and put an end to his devi-

ant career.

It was the many

eyes approach, that

helped security catch the

alleged crook, said Norm

Robinson, director o uni-

versity security.

While the TNU se-

curity unit is paid to give

ull time attention to mat-

ters concerning saety

and criminal activity, its

incumbent on all com-

munity members to assist

by reporting unsae or

unusual behavior, thereby

deterring crime, Robinson

wrote in an email.

On May 23, John

Beaumont Jones, 27

walked into Greathouse

Hall dressed like an aver-

age college student who

might be starting courses

with the new

physicians as-

sistant cohort

o students. Hewaited until the

students let to go to their

class orientation in a di-

erent room, and walked

up where they had let all

o the textbooks that had

just been distribu ted, ac-

cording to Robinson.

The door was locked.

Jones told a sta mem-

ber that he was a new PAstudent and needed to

get something out o the

room. Robinson said the

sta member was trying

to be kind since Jones ap-

peared to be a new stu-

dent. He punched in the

code and Jones was let to

his business.

He took two trips

to his car and back, which

was parked in the spot

closest to the door o the

aculty parking lot just

outside the right side oGreathouse. In that short

period, Jones allegedly

stole $2,270 worth o text-

books.

Later on that

evening, the PA students

returned and elt kind o

like the three bears, Rob-

inson said.

Robyn Jewett, as-

sistant proessor o physi-cian assistant program,

was immediately notied.

Shortly ater, security noti-

ed Campus Crime Stop-

pers, a collaborative net-

work o university security

departments around Mid-

dle Tennessee, including

Lipscomb, Vanderbilt and

Belmont universities.

That wasnt the end

o Joness book nabbing.

He continued his spree at

Lipscomb on June 18 and

again at Vanderbilt on July26. He also attempted a

second attack at Lipscomb

in which he was chased

away by security.

Lillenas Publishing

Company, the music-pub-

lishing arm o the Church o

the Nazarene, moved onto

campus rom its Nazarene

headquarters in Kansas City,

Missouri this summer.

The move brings the

worlds largest choral music

producer to the heart o the

Christian music industry and

to a campus stocked with

singers and songwriters

wanting to show o their

talent.

Ideally, Lillenas would

be housed in its own space

in a new ne arts building

ully equipped with the lat-

est technology and class-

rooms with workshops to

give students a chance

to show their talents and

learn.

H o w e v e r , t h a t

dream is still several years

away rom being ullled.

[Due to] the act

that we now have the

Nazarene music publish-

ing company located on

our campus, we really do

need a ne arts building

worse than we have ever

needed one, President

Dan Boone said. Every-

thing were doing there

is crying or more build-

ing spaceThe need or

space is the largest road-

block keeping us romwhere were trying to go.

The uture ne arts

building would cost the

university $24 million and

would be broken up into

two phases. The irst o

those phases would cost

somewhere around $10

to $11 million. The project

will not begin until at least

hal o the $10 million is

donated, Boone said.

For now, the bot-

tom o Tidwell will house

Lillenas.

Regardless o thebuilding arrangements,

however, Trevecca stu-

dents will have a major

advantage that was not

available beore.

[Lillenass move]

brings their creative song-

writers in to teach song-

writing to us. Its a huge

win or our students, said

Boone.

Lillenas has also

partnered with Lieway

Christian stores, also lo-

cated in Nashville, and

this partnership will bring

countless people to listen

and purchase Treveccas

products i chosen by Lil-

lenas.

Another immedi-

ate impact o having Lil-

lenas sharing campus

space with Trevecca is the

instant hands-on expe-

rience or Trevecca stu-

dents.

In the past, Tere-

binth Art Services was the

on-campus record label

that Trevecca music busi-

ness majors worked with.

The lab el wasnt aliated

with any particular musi-

cal genre, and thereore it

rarely did anything Diehl

said.

Terebinth has been

scrapped or the new la-

bel Consuming Worship,

which will work in con-

junc tion with Lille nas to

produce Christian worship

songs and artists.

The idea to plug into

Lillenass preexisting sys-

tems o business make the

transition to a student ran

label much simpler, said

Dean Diehl, Treveccas

music business proessor

and leader o the Consum-

ing Worship project.

Thi s lab el wi ll be

able to do real proes-

sional work now that it is

aliated with a genre.

Choosing worship

seems to it because i I

look where our songwrit-

ers are, our worship arts

program and most o our

song writers, they are

writing worship songs.

So we are creating a label

and publishing company

that is situated to benet

rom the type o music be-

ing created on this cam-

pus, Diehl said.

In order or Consum-

ing Worship to unction,

Diehl will have to hire

eight student workers to

work on the structural

side. Four will work in the

record label side while

the other our work in

the publishing side. One

side will work with songs

while the other deals with

artists.Diehl wil l need

numerous other workers

i Consuming Worship is

to lourish. Graphic de-

signers, web designers,

photographers and vid-

eo technicians will all be

needed to make Consum-

ing Worship a breathing

entity on campus. All o

these positions would be

lled with student volun-

teers. Once the label is up

and running those posi-

tions could be paid.

Album Review: Love This Giant

What do you get when you combine one Rock and Roll Hall o Fame inductee,

one rising star rom the world o alternative rock and one horn section?

You get unky.

Love This Giant is the collaborative eort o amed Talking Heads rontman

David Byrne and the wildly talented Annie Clark, better known as St. Vincent. The

two give us one o this years most unique albums, a musical romp through a sunset

street party.

Mutual respect or one anothers work led Byrne and Clark to talk shop at

a handul o parties, meetings that led to an eventual decision to write songs to-

gether. As they continued in their independent careers, the two sent ideas, lyrics

and melodies to one another via email, tweaking one anothers work and piecing

them together into viable songs. Love This Giant is the nal result o this three-yearexperiment.

Within the rst 30 seconds o the albums opening track, horns are tooting,

voices are sailing and heads are bobbing. Who is a snapshot o the album at-

large, highlighting both Byrnes and Clarks unique voices as well as the records

signature brass action. Weekend in the Dust ollows, opening up with Clarks

airy vocals over a groovy drum beat beore progressing into what could be called

an energized bounce-est. The album does eature slower tunes, but underlying

each track on Love This Giant is warmth and electricity that oten leaves your eet

tapping and your ace smiling.

As classes begin and the warm summer months draw to a close, David Byrne

and St. Vincent present an album that will keep us energized well into the school

year. Whether you listen to it through your headphones, blast it through your car

speakers, or tap it out with pencils on your desk, nd a way to keep the unky spark

o Love This Giant in your head and in your heart.

Letter From the Editor

Trevecca! Its been a while. Welcome

back to TNU.

Welcome home.

I will be leading the sta that puts to-

gether the newspaper you are currently hold-

ing. Im excited to be leading a sta that strives

to be one o the best ways to nd out what is

going on at Trevecca.

Like many o you, I eel like a new stu-

dent. I just nished a semester in Washington,

D.C., and Ive nally returned.

Halway through Welcome Week I real-

ized what I had been missing.

Trevecca is home.

Sure, the subways and bus rides to internships and sitting in the pressroom o

the White House listening to Jay Carney (press secretary) or Barack Obama (president)

were some o the most exciting days o my lie. But I was missing community and real-

ized what I had been missing.

Trevecca is home.

Trevecca is more than late night cram sessions and yelling with the Moore Mani-

acs.

Trevecca is more than having seven guys in a dorm in Benson, while only six

people in your rst major class.

Trevecca is a community with shared values and, more times than not, you nd

people who are trying their best to live a lie worthy o the calling they have received.

Trevecca is passing the same person who prayed with you in chapel that morn-

ing our times in one day. There is something dierent about this place.

Its home.

Finally, TrevEchoes has a history o providing news and inormation accurately

and concisely or years.

I dont see this changing. One o my goals is or TrevEchoes is to be completely

air, accurate, and as unbiased as possible.

Another goal o mine is to make Treveccas community as inormed as possible

on events on and o the Hill. One o the ways we are going about this this all is togive students a look at the two presidential candidates in hopes that each o you (new

voters) will have at least a basic idea o why you voted the way you did.

This process works best when you give eedback. Are our positions biased? Are

the arguments air? In other segments o the paper, did we spell your name right? Did

we quote you correctly?

Thank you or taking time out o your busy day to pick up TrevEchoes. My hope

and prayer is that you learned something new.

SIncerely,

Tyler Whetstone

See the pictures? Lie has sprung at revecca. Yet, you are

missing it.

All the un you could have been having, youre missing be-

cause youre stuck in your room.

Come on, this is college! Get out and experience revecca.

Welcome week is long over. You missed the concerts and the

dodge balls. You missed the water slide and pie eating contests.

No worries, you still have the rest o the year.

Madden 13 can wait another hour; go to the volleyball game

instead. Te soccer teams are both good, and they could use a

larger student section.

Te Moore Maniacs need you, and you need to learn theAlma Mater. Tis becomes a win - win.

Yes, Skyping with your mother is important, but thats not

making you new riends.

You are paying roughly $10,395 per semester or the rev-

ecca experience.

Experience it!

Te worst thing is when Darda (reveccas yearbook)

asks you what your avorite memory o your last our years has

been, and you dont have an answer.

revecca can give you a diploma, and you can nd your

spouse but that isnt experiencing revecca.

Dont let it pass you by.

OPINION September 2012 - 3

Hero worship is dangerous.

To take a human politician (any human -- Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Green

Party, etc.) and raise them to a godlike state not only blinds the admirer, it also limits the

reach o the admired. This notion becomes evident to anyone watching the worship services

otherwise known as the Republican and Democratic National Conventions. The cries o We

built it, and Forward, that lled the arena evoke images o hanky-waving evangelicals

erupting into amens at a camp meeting. When speakers and eager listeners work together

to create an idol out o a mortal being,

it becomes dicult to separate the man

rom the myth. In the case o presidential

candidate Barack Obama, this myth mak-

ing has been needlessly carried out. For

the man who championed change we

can believe in, the truth may be more

inspiring than the illusion.

So lets get a little perspective.

President Obama was born in Hawaii on

August 4, 1961, to a mother rom Kansas

and a ather rom Kenya. Obamas par-

ents separated when he was two years

old, and his ather returned to Kenya in

1964. In 1965, his mother married a man

rom Indonesia and a year later the am-

ily moved to Jakarta. At the age o 10, Obama returned to Hawaii to live with his maternal

grandparents. (source?)

Ater graduating rom Columbia University, Obama moved to Chicago to work as a

community organizer beore earning a degree rom Harvard Law School. While attending

Harvard, Obama became the rst Arican-American president o the Harvard Law Review.

Ater graduation, he returned to Chicago to teach constitutional law. He played an active

role in the political ormation o his community, directing a campaign that registered over

150,000 voters in Illinois prior to the 1992 election.

Obama rst became a contender on the political scene when he was elected to the Illi-

nois State Senate in 1996. While in oce, he cut taxes or working class amilies and increased

health care coverage or children and their parents. Ater being elected to the U.S. Senate in2004, he headed two initiatives: an expansion o the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduc-

tion, which provides unding or the dismantling o weapons o mass destruction; and the

Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act o 2006, which increased government

transparency by creating a search engine to track ederal spending.

In 2008, Obama was elected the 44th presi-

dent o the United States o America. He inher-

ited an economy devastated by the crash o the

housing market, caused by Republican ideals o

deregulation and open market. Since stepping

into oce, Obama has revived the economy and

the American market has experienced 29 straight

months o job growth. He has made college edu-

cation more accessible by doubling the Pell Grant

and orgiving the debts o servicemen, teachers

and nurses i they ail to complete payment ater10 years. He has provided health care to 3.1 mil-

lion young Americans and, in 2014, discrimination

against pre-existing conditions will be banned. He ended the war in Iraq, captured Osama

Bin Laden and extended the GI Bill to help over 800,000 veterans pursue urther education.

So perhaps the economy is recovering slower than we would like; perhaps ederal

spending is still on the rise. Change is slow. Progress will always take time. As we enter this

election season, we should remember that the President is not a god. He has no mythical

ability; he cannot win wars and tip the stock market at the snap o a nger. The President is a

human pledged to lead ellow humans. Whether you vote or Obama or Romney in Novem-

ber, dont be disillusioned. Remember, the only thing your president will ever be is human.

At the Republican National Convention, Mitt Romney was con-

rmed as the Republican Partys candidate or the 2012 Presidential

election. This came as no surprise. Romney has dominated the eld in

the GOP primaries through-

out the last year.

Mitt Romney was

born in Detroit to George

and Lenore Romney. He

graduated rom Brigham

Young University and con-

tinued his education by

getting degrees rom Har-

vard Law and Harvard Busi-

ness School, graduating in

1975. Ater consulting with

businesses or several years,

Romney ounded the in-

vestment rm Bain Capital in 1984 and continued to work there until

he returned to his consulting business, Bain & Company, as CEO. In

2002, he was elected to serve as the governor o Massachusetts, where

he remained until the end o his term in 2007. In 2008, he attempted

to secure the Republican nomination or President, but he was unsuc-

cessul.

As Gover-

nor, he removed

regulations on busi-

ness, signed bills that

gave incentives or

job creation and en-

deavored to attract

businesses to Massa-

chusetts in order to

boost the economy

o the state. Addi-tionally, though Mas-

sachusetts was at a $3 billion budget decit at the beginning o his

term, he ended his time as Governor with a $2 billion surplus. Through

the use o strict nancial measures, he presided over a drop in unem-

ployment rom 5.6 percent to 4.7 percent, as well as the creation o

tens o thousands o new jobs in the state.

The platorm or his current candidacy is based upon the idea

that the United States ounding values o innovation, creativity and

reedom have been ignored in Washington recently, which has led to a

decline in the livelihood o Americans and Americas oreign infuence.

Romney claims he will roll back the misguided policies o the last three

years that have inringed on these values and will attempt to restore

the oundations while giving power back to the people o this nation.

On the issue o taxes, he will cut the marginal tax rate at all lev-

els by 20% and will eliminate the capital gains, dividends and interesttaxes or all who have an adjusted gross income o less than $200,000.

As ar as health care is concerned, Romney says that he will return con-

trol o health care to the states by limiting ederal requirements and

standards and will promote the ree market and consumer choices.

His plan or education includes the ideal that college should be avail-

able and aordable or all and that high schools should be held to a

high standard o accountability and quality o education. This high

standard is intended to challenge the students, thus improving their

chances o success when they enter the workorce and leading to an

improvement o our nations economy as a whole.

Summer renovations: Focus on the small things

For the rst time in several

years, Trevecca will not have a

building shut o rom students

and aculty.

And or the rst time in re-

cent memory, students wont be

bombarded by row upon row o

ences or have to detour through

construction cones to get to class.The jack hammers have stopped

their constant rattle.

Beginning about iteen

years ago, Trevecca aced an omi-

nous list o renovations and build-

ing projects that would bring the

campus into the 21st century. In

all, eight buildings would either

be constructed or receive multi-

million dollar renovations.

With three o the our foors

completely renovated in Great-

house (the third foor will be com-

pleted next summer), this summer

wrapped up what has been a long

process o methodically nishing

building ater building until only

two remained on the list.

Both o these, the ine arts

building (See page 1) and renova-

tions to Moore Gymnasium, are

still a ew years away and a couple

million dollar donations short rom

even getting started.

The bui ldi ngs bei ng con-

structed are not cheap. However,

the money is not, has not and will

not come out o students tuition,

President Dan Boone said.

[When Trevecca] started the

projects, the total indebtedness

o campus was six million, but the

cash reserves o the university was

about one to two million, Boone

said. Now, our total indebtedness is

around $21 million, but our capitalreserves is about $17 million.

Because Treveccas debt is

locked in at a low interest rate, the

interest on the cash reserves is pay-

ing it o, Boone said.

Slowly but surely, Treveccas

debt will be paid o.

The new renovations on cam-

pus are not being paid o by tuition

increases, contrary to popular be-

lie.

Tuitio n increase is simply

due to infation, Boone said. Infa-

tion increases tuition somewhere

between 2 and 5 percent annu-

ally. The interest o o the money

in the bank, along with donations

rom alumni and others, is how

Trevecca has been able to aord

the renovations.

Since the larger projectshave all been either pushed to the

side or taken care o, attention can

be given to detail.

Its just a matter o continu-

ally trying to improve what we

have to make the place [campus]

more attractive, David Caldwell,

executive vice president or i-

Tyler Whetstone

Editor-in-Chief

According to Caldwell, Trevecca has spent around $22.5 million in the last two and a

hal years. Trevecca has much o what it needs in regards to academia. The ocus can now

be placed on smaller items that cost much less.

- Possibly laying articial tur on the practice eld also used or TIA games

- Possibly adding lights to the baseball eld

- Putting seating on the hill at the soccer games

- Possibly adding restrooms in the lobby o other emale dorms like Tennessee

- Eventual new windows in Benson- A possible bell tower could get placed in the middle o campus

nance and administration, said.

So, this summer, a walk-

ing trail was added rom Hart to

the new tennis courts. The great

wall is in between the soccer and

sotball elds. The wellness center

was stocked with new weights

and equipment, new tiles were

placed in the Waggener Library

restrooms and there is a new re-

taining wall in the parking lot o

Redord and Shingler. Redord

and Shinglers kitchens have been

renovated and now have dishwashers and new appliances.

The lone campus eye

sore, the hub, will be on the

mend soon as well.

With the larger proj-

ects being taken care o,

Glen Linthicum, director o

plant operations, is ready to

receive ideas o what could

be improved in the dorms.

I you have an idea, send

him an email with sugges-

tions. Also, be on the look-

out or surveys that will

help plant operations servecampus better.

New eatures include:

Build your own burrito and grab-n-

go sandwiches

New outdoor seating including

benches near parking lot

More indoor seating

On August 13, Jones

planned a second strike at Trev-

ecca--this time in Boone Busi-

ness Building.

In an e-mail to Norm

Robinson, Tim Myatt, assistant

proessor o inormation tech-nology, gives an account o his

encounter with Jones.

Myatt wrote that he had

ailed to close the door o class-

room o Boone Business Build-

ing (BBB) 110 ater giving a

prospective student a tour. This

classroom opens to a public hall

on one side and the BBB oce

suite on the other.

About 3 p.m. Jones walks

into the oce suite through BBB

110. He passes Myatts oice.

Immediately, I realized that I

had let the classroom unlocked,

so I got up to go close/lock it,

wrote Myatt. Ater the 15 sec-

onds that it took him to return,

he ound Jones standing in his

oce.

He appeared to be hav-ing a phone conversation to or

about his mother, said Myatt.

This was the same tric k that

Jones played at the Lipscomb

chase scene, which Robinson

read about in an e-mail rom

the Campus Crime Stoppers. He

then orwarded that e-mail to all

aculty and sta.

According to the e-mail,

Myatt asked Jones why he was

standing in his oice. Then

Jones mentioned having to take

the phone call and walked out.

Myatt then asked Jim Hi-

att, dean o school o business

and technology, to call secu-

rity ater confrming that the

book thie had not yet been

caught.

In a ollow-up e-mailto Robinson, Myatt wrote, I

called out to him 3 or 4 times,

but was ignored. Myatt fnally

got him to stop and was able

to stall Jones until security was

able to arrive on the scene.

Two security men pulled

up and detained Jones. They

contacted the Metro Nashville

Police, as well as Vanderbilt Po-

lice Department and Lipscomb

Security.

The police arrested Jones

on a charge o criminal trespass

at Trevecca and Vanderbilt and

or elony thet at Vanderbilt. He

was taken to the Nashville police

department and placed in jail.

At 1:30 a.m. he bailed out

Counceling center equipped for handling students issues

For years, Trevecca has worked

to provide students with various op-

portunities to serve and minister in the

mission eld. This year, Trevecca has

restructured and expanded its missions

program in a number o ways.

Namely, the program at large is

known as Trevecca Around the Globe,

or TAG.Within TAG are three types o

mission opportunities. Encounter will

be short term experiences ranging

rom domestic weekend trips to two

week ventures abroad. Immerse will

be summer mission experiences lasting

12 weeks and Submerge will be one to

two year experiences or graduates.

With TAG, we wanted to uniy

Encounter, Immerse and Submerge

into a more cohesive program where

the types o mission opportunities

dont compete with one another,

Brent Tallman, director o campus spiri-

tual ormation, said.

Though uniie d under the name

o TAG, each o these subprograms oer

a unique type o experience, demon-

strating ways in which the Oce o the

Chaplain is looking to provide dierent

experiences based on what the student

desires, Tallman said.

Encounter trips are varied and

short term by nature. For example, stu-

dents could spend all break in Chatta-

nooga, spring break in Jamaica or a cou-

ple o weeks o the summer in Australia,

Paraguay or a Creative Access location.

For more inormation on Creative Access,

see Brent Tallman or Kathy Mowry.

The Immerse subprogram, which

has, in the past, been ocused on Eastern

Europe, has been expand-

ed to also include 12 week

stays in Chicago to help

develop churches, Kansas

City to work in racial rec-

onciliation ministry and a

Creative Access location.

S u b m e r g e

is a program exclusivelyor graduated seniors in

which they stay one to

two years abroad. Past Submerge expe-

riences have taken place in Bulgaria and

Croatia.

I a student is interested in serv-

ing on a mission trip through TAG, he

or she would rst need to go online to

www.trevecca.edu/TAG and register or

a trip. The deadline or applications or

Encounter and Immerse is October 19

(with the exception o the Fall Break trip

to Chattanooga, or which the applica-

tion deadline is September 28).

Once applications have been

submitted, a committee o 15 to 20

Trevecca aculty members ranging rom

proessors, to CLCS employees to those

in the Oce o the Chaplain review ap-plicants.

In the case o Immerse trips, ap-

plicants are given assignments based on

group dynamic and eld needs. Because

o this, the variety o Immerse trips is not

set in stone in the same way as Encoun-

ter trips. The variety is a product o the

number o applicants or the Immerse

program.

The committee makes its deci-

plicants time to commit or allow their

spot to be lled by another applicant

This summer, Trevecca junior Erin

Cox traveled to Antananarivo, Mada-

gascar or nearly two months as she

served on a mission trip through Youth

In Mission.

Her journey, which began on May

29th and concluded July 29th, took her

roughly 20,000 miles roundtrip.

Cox was the only Trevecca stu-

dent to take part in the experience,

joining a team o students rom other

Nazarene schools rom across the

country.

The group partnered with local

evangelical teams and participated in

various orms o community outreach,

including door-to-door evangelism,

prayer walks, vacation Bible school and

school visitation, which was a big deal.

To be able talk directl y with stu-

dents was huge, because the church

hasnt been able to get into schools,

Cox said.

Similar passions brought the group

together, and working through the chal-

lenges o the trip helped them to bond.

Questions about culture and aith pre-

sented themselves as the group worked

in the community, and Cox noted the

teams ability to address and discuss

these questions as a signicant reason

or their becoming lielong riends.

Upon returning rom such a cultur-

al and spiritual immersion, people oten

undergo a somewhat dicult readjust-

ment period.

The irst couple o weeks were

tough. Without your team, you have to

readjust and process on your own, Cox

said. Its better now, because Ive had

more time to readjust and get back into

the swing o classes.

As she now im-

merses hersel back

into American culture

and lie as a college

student, Erin contin-

ues to relect upon

her time in Madagas-

car. Its really easy to

come back and just

orget. To continue to

ask questions is dii-

cult, but its necessary

to grow.

Erin Cox is a junior majoring in

Nursing with a minor in Religion. She

is currently serving on Student Govern-

ment Association as the Junior Class

Chaplain. After graduating, Erin hopes

to work in community health, perhaps

serving on long-term medical missions

in other countries.

Who Delivers late?Options for fourth meal

Welcome back! It was an amaz-

ing summer in terms o the lm indus-

try, and the movies just kept coming.

From all the icks that came out thissummer, I thought o the top three that

I saw. Here are the top three movies o

the summer.

he Avengers - I know almost

everyone I talk to has seen this movie,

and the reviews have been nonstop

(although it is air to say some didnt

like it). With a cast headed by Robert

Downey Jr. and riends, it cant be that

bad, right? I eel like this movie was a

huge payof to those who went to see

Iron Man our or ve years ago in

which Nick Fury rst tells ony Stark,

I want to talk to you about the Aveng-ers. Te movie was good with action,

too. It didnt disappoint. It wasnt im-

possible to understand the movie i you

havent seen the prior lms leading up

to it. I do however recommend viewing

them or at least most o them as every

movie has something that adds to Te

Avengers plot. Te movie was such a

hit; the sequel is already being planned.

Rating 4.5 stars.

A Cabin in the Woods - I know

what youre thinking. You either

havent heard o this movie, or you

dont understand why I have a horrorlm on this list. I will be blunt and say

that I hate most horror lms. At rst, I

hated this one because it starts out as

your typical horror movie -- 5 college

kids going to a place that is secluded

rom the rest o society to their imme-

diate doom, caused by a ghost, zombies

or some other clich. It wasnt until

hal way through the movie that I real-

ized it was complete satire. It was com-

pletely making un o horror movies

and, honestly, by the end o the movie I

loved it. I dont want to ruin anything,

but I will say this movie is a little gory

(what horror isnt nowadays.). I recom-mend this movie i you enjoy a clever,

well written satirical movie. Rating 4

stars.

he Dark Knight Rises -

When making this list, I tried to avoid

superheroes, but I came to the conclu-

sion that there was no way to avoid

including Te Avengers and Te Dark

Knight Rises. Christopher Nolan (In-

ception, he Prestige, Memento) is

behind the wheel o the Batman ran-

chise. I may be a little bias because I

love both Batman and Christopher

Nolans lms (I am looking at my Blu-ray collection as I write this). Whatev-

er your disposition, you cant say this

movie didnt deliver. Some compared

it to Te Dark Knight, but you cant re-

ally do that because in the Nolan Bat-

man rilogy every movie has a difer-

ent theme. Tis movie was a war lm

whereas Te Dark Knight was a crime

epic. Its a testament to the act that you

can tell any kind o story with Batman.

om Hardy owned this lm as Bane.

He was a wonderul adversary to Te

Dark Knight. I am not really an Anne

Hathaway an, but I also thought that

she did the greatest Catwoman inter-

pretation ever. Christian Bale turns in

his very best Batman perormance in

this installment. I was very impressed

by how the rilogy ended. I highly rec-

ommend this movie. Rating 5 stars.

Honorable mentions include the

Amazing Spider-man, Brave and Pro-

metheus.

FEATURE8 - September 2012

Fewer aculty members at Trev-

ecca are Nazarene than in the past.

Though no ocial stats are kept

on the denominational aliation o

aculty members, Stephen Pusey, uni-

versity provost, estimates about 40 to

45 percent o all aculty are Nazarene.

Thats a de crease rom 20 years

ago when the number was closer to

55 percent.

The dec reas e doe sn t ala rm

Pusey or other administrators who say

a denominationally diverse aculty

benets students.

Pusey likes to hire aculty not

just o dierent denominations, but

also thinks hiring dierent personali-

ties is benecial.

I think it helps with the way

they connect with students, Pusey

said.

Thou gh Trevecca does nt re-

quire aculty to be Nazarene, adminis-

trators say that aculty have to respect

the Nazarene Articles o Faith and up-

hold a Christian liestyle in line with

the Wesleyan tradition.

The only aculty required to beNazarene are the senior cabinet po-

sitions which include the president,

the provost, executive vice president

or inance and administration, vice

president or external relations, dean

o student development, dean o aca-

demic aairs, and the dean o enroll-

ment management.

Religion aculty members are

not required to be Nazarene, but they

must be Wesleyan, according to board

policy, Pusey said.

Right now, all religion aculty

are Nazarene.

Tim Green, dean o the Mi llard

Reed School o Religion, sees denomi-

national diversity as benecial or dis-

cussion and growth in students.

Its perect in the context o an

academic institution, Green said.

Along with the scholarly as-

pects, the aculty body at Trevecca

refects the student body.

The top denominati onal a-

iliations among students last year

were Nazarene (49.3 percent), Bap-tist (15.46), Christian (9.04), Non-de-

nominational (6.12), Methodist (3.21),

Church o Christ (2.71), Catholic (1.91),

and Presbyterian (1.10), respectively,

according to the TNU Factbook.

In a personal estimate, Pusey

said that the top aliations among

aculty are Nazarene, Methodist,

Church o God-Anderson, Baptist,

Free Will Baptist, Church o Christ,

Presbyterian, and Christian.

When hiring new aculty members,

Trevecca administr ators are looking or

candidates that have both the academic

credentials required, but also will be a mis-

sional t or the university.

While aculty members do not have

to be Nazarene, they do have to get pretty

specic about their spiritual lie early in the

hiring process.

Questions on the aculty application

include:

Areyoufamiliarwiththedoctrines

and practices o the Church o the Naza-

rene?

Doyoubelieveinandsubscribeto

these doctrines and practices, as you under-

stand them? Discusshowyoupersonallymight

be able to assist the University in ullling its

purpose.

The accrediting body that oversees

Trevecca requires not just that ocials hire

aculty members qualied to teach, but that

they hire aculty who adhere to the mission

o the university.

I we were hiring people who didnt

t the mission o institution, then wed be

violating accreditation, Stephen Pusey, uni-

versity provost, said.

Trevecca doesnt hire Nazarene ac-

ulty any more than another denomina-

tion, Pusey said, but rather looks or the

highest degree and the best candidate

who ts the universitys mission.

Nearly 90 percent o Trevecca ac-

ulty members have terminal degreesorthe highest degree possible in their eld.

Around 80 percent have doctoral status,

Pusey said.

He says that when it comes down to

it, personal actors and matching the mis-

sion o the university with the mission o

the potential aculty more important than

denominational aliation.

Commitment to the university is

also a big deal or aculty at Trevecca.

I dont want someone to see Trev-

ecca as a stepping stone to another

school, said Lena Welch, dean o the arts

and sciences.

Once aculty are hired they are re-quired to:

To agreewith and respect the

Nazarene Articles o Faith

Signa contractsayingtheywill

not teach or promote anything contrary

to the Nazarene aith

LiveaChristianlifestyleinterms

o the Church o the Nazarene

There arent any particular areas that

are hard to ll with qualied aculty that t

the mission, Pusey said.

Trevecca would not hire a non-Chris-

tian.

We might utilize someone [who

is] not Christian, but we would not hire

them, Pusey said.

When interviewing potential acul-

ty, Welch asks specic questions that will

help her know i the candidate is actually

committed to being a Christian and not

simply going to church.

Tim Green, university chaplain, said

that the way a proessor teaches should

come out o his aith commitment.

My greatest hope as ar as ministry

[rom aculty to students] is that aith and

learning not be two things that have to be

orced together, Green said.

The denominational diversity o Treveccas aculty refects the same denominational diversity o the universitys students, ocials say.

This is a strong thing, as long as we hold to and respect the statement o aith in the church o the Nazarene, Stephen Pusey, university provost,

said.

The university does not keep statistics on the denominational aliation o aculty members, but based on anecdotal evidence and some meth-

ods o sel-reporting, Pusey estimates the breakdown o what kind o churches aculty members attend refects the same patterns that students report.

According to Treveccas Factbook, about 50 percent o Trevecca students are Nazarene. The next largest group is Baptist at 15.5 percent. Around9 percent o students report being Christian while 6 percent report being non-denominational, 3.2 percent report being Methodist and 2.7 percent Church o Christ.

Every year, aculty submits an annual report that lists where they are attending church. Pusey personally compiled the numbers o acultys denominational aliation a

ew years ago. The numbers were not recorded.

But, Pusey said that the top denominations reported by aculty are Nazarene, Methodist, Church o God-Anderson, Baptist, Free Will Baptist, Church o Christ, Presbyterian,

and Christian.

Diversity has been something important in Nazarene history, Pusey said.

Wesleyans have been very ecumenical, Pusey said.

Tim Green, Dean o the Millard Reed School o Religion, said that denominational diversity is a very good thing.

It allows or all members o the body [o Christ] to recognize the role that other body par ts play, Green said. We really realize that Christianity is not just Nazarene.
