Carter Benge, resident chaplain of Kitchin dorm, will be participating in the Boston Marathon on April 18th. To prepare for the big day, he has decided to host an event that is taking place on Thursday, March 24th, called “The 1st Kitchin Marathon.”

“I had no particular aspirations to

run in the Boston Marathon until after the bombing in 2013”, said Carter. The creation of the hashtag, #BostonStrong, “has brought new unity to the running community and shows support for the runners, families, and communities affected by this tragedy.”

The event is a fundraiser for an organization called NC Kids Run. This is a non-profit organization that encourages pre-teen girls and boys to

develop self-respect and healthy life-styles through running.

Josh Wade, one of Carter’s resi-dents, has hope for each of the 26 students who will be taking on Carter. “Hopefully the collective effort of the Kitchin Ninjas can overcome the stami-na of Carter. Wish us luck!”

Carter has agreed to run 26.2 miles

5 questions with Carter BengeBy Kaitlyn DixonStaff Writer

When did you get into running?“Ever since I was a child, I have

always been an outdoorsy kid. In 8th grade, we started running the mile once a week, and I ran my first mile in 7:43. Some of my friends who played soccer could run it in 6:15, so I was determined to get my mile as fast as them. I got my Dad to measure a mile with the car in our neighborhood, and I would go run it a few times a week. By the end of 8th grade, I had trained myself to run about a 6:20 mile. Fast forward to the beginning of 9th grade, and someone suggested I join the cross-country team. The first day I came to practice, they had a mile time-trial to determine team rankings. I ran right with the top guys for the first half-mile, but then all of a sudden, they took off and left me in the dust! I thought I had done pretty well, and was ready to call it a day, but as soon as we finished, the coach told us to go run 3 more miles! That first day was excruciating! Since then, I ran cross-country and track all throughout high school, ended up getting a scholarship to run at Mars Hill University in the Appalachian Mountains, and the rest is history!”

What fundraising/charity events have you participated in/been a part of?

“I have run in many races that support different causes. Most no-tably, I have run in numerous races that support the Red Cross, and in the winter months I frequent-ly wear my American Red Cross toboggan to show my continued support. This being said, “The 1st Kitchin Marathon and Relay” is the first fundraising event I have organized. I believe that healthy

COVER STORY

A Contested ConventionThe GOP’s Elephant in the RoomBy Dylan BlackburnStaff Writer

Last Tuesday, March 15 was an important day in the process of producing a Republican Presidential nominee, as votes were cast in the North Carolina, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, and Ohio primaries.

While Hillary Clinton solidified her lead in the Democratic Presidential race, all Republican eyes were on Florida and Ohio, winner-take-all states that could instantly narrow the field of Republican contenders. The viability of Senator Marco Rubio’s campaign depended on a win in his home state of Florida, which he failed to obtain with 27% to Donald Trump’s 46%.

Accordingly, Rubio dropped out of the race with an emotional speech Tuesday night. Gov. John Kasich won his home state of Ohio with a comfortable 47% of the vote, gaining 66 delegates from the winner-take-all state. With his Ohio win, Kasich secured his place among his only remaining GOP rivals for the nom-ination: Trump and Texas Senator Ted Cruz. While many in the media portray Trump as the presumptive nominee after his March 15th wins in Missouri, Illinois, Florida, and North Carolina, a sizable group of publica-tions, including Politico, still see the possibility of having a contested GOP convention in July.

Contested conventions, also known as “brokered conventions,” are a rar-ity in modern-day politics, so many are not familiar with the term. Allow me to explain: There will be 2,472 delegates at the Republican National Convention this summer. When

no candidate receives support from 1,237 delegates (half of the total, plus one) at the Republican National Convention, then the Convention becomes contested (or brokered).

Each state has a certain number of delegates to the Convention (North Carolina has 72). Most delegates from each state are bound by law to vote for a certain candidate, which is decided by registered voters in prima-ries and caucuses. At the convention, the delegates vote to select a nomi-nee from the eligible candidates. If a candidate does not receive the sup-port of the 1,237 needed to win the nomination outright on the first vote, another vote is taken. If a first vote fails to produce a nominee, many of the laws that require delegates to vote for the choices of their states go out of effect, leaving a sizable number of

delegates free to vote for whomever they choose. If this happens, Trump will have a sizable problem.

Trump has very little support from the GOP establishment, which is greatly represented in the body of delegates. So, if the 2016 Republican National Convention is contested, Trump will almost certainly fail to win the nomination. If you support Trump, you will probably decry the injustice of allowing GOP insiders to choose who will be on the ticket. If you are against Trump, however, you might gain hope that he will not be the nominee. You might not want to jump for joy just yet, though, because a contested convention brings with it a long list of complications.

If Trump does not secure the nomination because of a contested convention, massive protests will

almost certainly commence and the GOP will risk losing around 40% of its base. A nominee chosen by a contested convention will be battered from the ugliness and conflict that is a contested convention, decreasing the Republicans’ chance at a victory in 2016.

Either way, the idea of a contested convention is interesting to think about. You can decide for yourself whether the cons associated with hav-ing a contested convention trumps the pros of having a nominee other than Trump, but one thing is for certain—it’s not over yet.

Donald Trump: 678Jeb Bush: 4

Ted Cruz: 423Carly Fiorina: 1

Marco Rubio: 164Mike Huckabee: 1

John Kasich: 143Rand Paul: 1

Ben Carson: 8Not yet allocated: 1049

The number of delegates each candidate has received as of March 20, 2016. A candidate needs support from 1,237 of the 2,340 delegates to receive the Republican nomination and avoid a contested convention.

Combining the toxic atmosphere of political correctness, intolerance and childishness with organizations filled with careless individuals, the attack on college fraternities across the United States should come as no surprise.

Look no further than the UVA Rape Scandal back in 2014: an article pub-lished by Rolling Stone writer Sabrina Erdely accused several Phi Kappa Psi members of raping a woman as part of an initiation. The accusations alone should have warranted further investi-gation and skepticism, but in the end, they were discredited as false. By then, the damage had already been done.

All this negative attention paid to fra-ternities has focused on the stereotypes surrounding frat members: drinking, partying and philandering. This may be personal bias, but when was the last time anyone has ever heard of a soror-ity getting in trouble? Recently, USA Today reported that Duke University

suspended ten sororities in response to a new member who drank too much alcohol and was hospitalized. Only four hours later, Duke “partially lifted” the suspension.

This February, the local fraternity Sigma Nu at the University of North Georgia, was indefinitely suspended following accusations of “alcohol misuse and hazing related incidents.” Currently, the chapter has no idea when they will be able to return to campus, despite the fact that, according to UNG, not a single person was injured in the alleged incident. Be sure to note how the soror-ities at Duke had their names hidden while the chapter at UNG got their name plastered across the media.

This doesn’t even take into account all the good that fraternities do for their local communities, or even beyond that. Lambda Chi Alpha at North Dakota University raised over 8,000 pounds of food for charity. Alpha Sigma Phi at the University of Michigan raised $60,000 for charity.

Hazing is by far the most

controversial part of fraternities and Greek life in general. The idea of people being put through debilitating or even abusive mental and physical conditions is enough to make any-one cringe. However, we need to put this in perspective.

Hazing exists for one purpose: to force out people who don’t belong there, just like in every military and sports program. Still, there are lines that cannot be crossed. Nobody should have to go through an activity where they can be severely harmed, physically or otherwise.

Fraternities do not deserve the neg-ative reputation they get. Do they make mistakes? Of course; we all do. Like everyone else, they should be held accountable for them, but to demonize and demean fraternities as a whole goes way beyond what is necessary; it tar-nishes the good that they do. Greek life in general, is something to be embraced, and if some schools can’t see that, they don’t deserve to have Greek life on their campuses.

Four apps every student should downloadBy Christian HornadayAssistant Editor

Living in an age that promotes uti-lizing every available resource, I have found myself reading almost every ar-ticle I come across that highlights apps that will make you healthi-er, better organized, or more successful. Out of all the apps that I have accumulated over my mere two years of owning a smart-phone, I am going to highlight the four free apps I believe are definitely worth downloading.

Google EverythingThe beauty of Google apps is that

they can be accessed on any com-puter as well as your phone. My two must-haves are Google Calendar

and Google Keep. Both apps allow you to keep track of your schedule and your tasks to complete in a very organized manner.

MyWaterThe name of this app basically

speaks for itself. With MyWater, you can set a daily goal of either an amount in ounces/milliliters or in glasses and watch yourself “fill up” a virtual cup as you log how much you drink throughout the day. I have a few friends who use this app, and we periodically screenshot our glass throughout the day to share with each other in order to hold ourselves accountable for reaching our goal.

Stuff N StyleThis one is typically geared more

towards the female population, but guys can definitely take advantage of this app as well. Stuff N Style allows

you to catalog your closet by either taking pictures of your clothes or by finding pictures of your clothes online. Having the ability to open this app and search for a pair of pants, then a shirt, then shoes without having to physically sort through and pair up each outfit helps me decide what I am going to wear, and it helps me wear some of the items I tend to overlook.

USA TodayEvery person needs to have a news

app or a news outlet of some sort that can be checked on a very regular basis. I recommend USA Today because it is free and it does not have an article limit. I also want to recommend turn-ing the notifications on so that you will at least have some sort of knowl-edge about what is going on, even if you only read the little blurb that pops up on your phone.

Donald Trump: The man behind the toupee By Dylan LordStaff Writer

“China, China! China, I love China. I got to have my China!” If you know what that phrase means, good for you. If you don’t, look it up.

It would be a drastic understatement to say that Mr. Trump has become the center of attention for the 2016 Presidential Election. A man once thought of as a joke by the country has now become the frontrunner for the Republican Party, and many be-lieve he will take the nomination. The question is, how? How has someone who has no political experience and has taken the opportunity to stir up controversy wherever he can possibly be so far ahead in the election? The answer is simple: his image.

Trump’s launch into this election has come at a unique time. The American people are fed up with Washington

and its so-called “elitist” politicians, and are looking for something new. Since Trump began his campaign, he has cultivated an image of himself as an outsider: a self-made family man who cannot be bought or controlled by outside interests, and is not afraid to speak his mind.

Combining this with his rhetoric, Trump is using his platform to gen-erate controversy on various issues facing America today. Terrorism, immigration, the economy—Trump has commented on all these issues, and it’s refreshing. Despite Trump’s controversial opinions on many of these subjects, many voters are reso-nating with him, mainly because he’s been the only one talking about these issues. Most politicians have either taken the preferred (politically correct) stance on these issues, or ignored them altogether. Trump has been the only one to comment on these issues and

many voters love him for it. All this combines to make Trump

an ideal alternative to what many people see as the ineffectiveness of Washington—someone who will hold people accountable for their mistakes and fix the federal government. Trump is currently leading in the Republican nomination with most delegates and just won North Carolina, Missouri, Illinois, and Florida this past week. Numerous members within the Republican Party have come out to support Trump; former nominees Ben Carson and Chris Christie have both endorsed Trump, along with Florida governor Rick Scott.

And I’ll be the first to admit part of me admires Trump. He speaks his mind and is honest about his opin-ions, which is something I like in a candidate. But what about his contro-versial stances, you ask? Temporarily banning all Muslims from the United

States? Building a giant wall across the Mexican border and making Mexico pay for it? In my honest opinion, I think Trump means less than half the things he says. Trump is simply tap-ping into the pent-up fear and anger within the American populace that has been ignored by politicians.

So does this make Trump make a good candidate? Unfortunately, there is not enough room left to meaning-fully discuss this. Currently, all I can say right now is that Trump is a wild card. He’s tapped into a lot of pent-up emotions in the American populace to advance his campaign, but this could very well backfire if he is not careful. I should say this now, but this is only part one of a two part series I plan for analyzing Trump. Next issue, I’ll dive deep into whether or not Trump could actually make a good president; until then, see you next time.

Envisioning a Trump presidencyBy Omar HouraniCopy Editor

When Trump first announced his campaign, everyone dismissed it as a joke, or something that would never go far. Today, it seems more than like-ly that he will be the next president. There is no doubt that America, as well as the world, will go through ma-jor changes throughout his presiden-cy—political, economic, social, etc.

His first day in office will be met with protests and riots, from the left and right. As many have said they’d leave the country if Trump wins, there could be a surge of people moving—especially minorities who now feel like targets.

Trump’s main concern is minorities, who’ve been made the scapegoats for America’s problems. The most con-crete plan he’s proposed is building a wall on the Mexican border, and its construction could start soon. He has also called for the mass deportation of illegals, who would be rounded up and

sent back. As for minorities born here, Trump sees them as “anchor babies”; he believes he will be able to amend the Constitution so that not everyone born in the U.S. gets citizenship.

As for Muslims, he had already called on a ban on Muslims, even American ones abroad trying to return. He’s also called for a system where Muslims in the country are tracked and mosques are monitored. These totalitarian tactics are ubiqui-tous throughout history; often, after a scapegoated group is tracked, it does not bode well, ranging from local instances of harassment/violence to systematic genocide. It would not be surprising if America becomes more violent under his presidency, since he is under the spotlight already for his racist and violent supporters and divi-sive rhetoric: encouraging supporters to beat up protesters, and promising to pay their legal fees.

Besides minorities, Trump has a grudge on the media. He said that he will change press laws so that they

won’t be able to say whatever they want—likely the disappearance of the freedoms of speech and press through more constitutional amendments.

Socially, we could expect the end of America’s political-correctness, and re-emergence of racism, white suprem-acy, and possibly segregation. Violence towards minorities would escalate further than Trump would have en-visioned, since he underestimates the impact of his divisive rhetoric.

Economically, while all this atten-tion and money is funneled towards banning/deporting minorities, we could expect a larger income gap and ailing poverty levels. Trump’s domestic policies would most likely cater to his own businesses and rich friends, at the expense of the poor. This means less government services and subsidies, leaving basics like education and healthcare affordable only to the wealthy. Furthermore, we know that America will go through a period of extreme isolationism, encouraging local manufacturing

instead of international trade (ie. self-imposing embargoes).

Internationally, we know that Trump’s temper and impulsive na-ture don’t spell good diplomacy, but more than likely wars on the horizon. Trump usually sues people left and right, usually for meaningless things. In the position of commander in chief, this translates into wars and missiles left and right, like if some leader made fun of his hair. It does not help that he is xenophobic, and the rest of the world dislikes him. Historically, bad-tempered leaders with radical hyper-nationalistic poli-cies have been loved by the populace, but detested by the international community, with whom all-out war was declared. Specifically dealing with Iran, Trump’s patience will make him dismiss diplomacy and instead resort to nuking—the most likely catalyst to World War 3.

There have been several “Trumps” throughout history, and history always repeats itself.

CUSOM hosts first Mr. CUSOM pageantBy Christian Hornaday and LynJosha RussellAssistant Editors

Aakash Patel, a MS1 and D.O. Candidate at Campbell’s School of Osteopathic Medicine (CUSOM) took home the first ever title of Mr. CUSOM this past Friday, March 18th, benefiting the Campbell Community Care Clinic.

“I knew I wanted to help out with the pageant from the beginning because it was for a great cause,” said Patel. “I think the Community Care Clinic is an im-portant part of our local community and

I used to volunteer for a similar operation throughout my undergraduate studies so the cause is one that I am partial to. Originally it took some convincing as I was hesitant to participate in the pageant as a contestant, but I find it healthy to step out of my comfort zone every once in awhile.”

The event began with an opening dance number and introductions, then students dressed up as female characters in the Alternative Wear Competition, followed by the Talent Competition. During the Talent Competition students danced, sang, and performed to obtain points for

their overall score.“For my talent I danced to a short

routine incorporating a variety of Indian and Western styles,” explained Patel. “I choreographed most of the routine in my head and then pieced it together during study breaks. The most challenging part was finding the time to practice without adequate space or mirrors.”

The pageant allowed the students of CUSOM to show their personal energy and character outside of the typical aca-demic setting.

Dan Maynard: Campbell’s hidden treasureBy Christopher WestContributing Writer

Campbell has a secret hidden in its library. This is no chamber of secrets or presidential book of conspiracies. No, our treasure is a librarian named Dan Maynard. After earning his B.A. in Philosophy and Masters of Library and Information Science from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville,

Maynard worked in a number of small businesses and even as a Reference Librarian at the Harnett County Public Library.

In August of 1999, his journey at Campbell began in the Gilbert T. Stephen Trust Library where he began teaching students how to research and use APA citation. Maynard has spent the past decade helping get grants for Campbell students, and has helped

found a number of projects, including the Micro-Summit: Building Fourth Sector Businesses and the NC LIVE Pilot Project. He is currently working to revive the Harnett County Arts Council. Maynard has also been in-strumental in the formation of several student businesses, and has been a driv-ing force on campus for entrepreneurial

Andy Grammer is coming to the CreekBy Katlyn ClarkEntertainment Editor

“Honey, I’m good” because Andy Grammer is performing at CAB’s 2016 spring concert on April 12!

Students had been waiting for months, wondering who would come to Campbell to perform and when it was happening. The Campus Activity Board broke the news over social media outlets last month.

You may remember Grammer from a few years ago with a couple of singles called “Keep Your Head Up” and “Fine By Me.” Grammer has been popular in the music scene lately with singles, “Honey I’m Good” and “Good To Be Alive (Hallelujah).” Andy Grammer is 32 and was born in Los Angeles, California but grew up in New York. He eventually returned to California to do his undergrad and to start a musical career.

Last semester, CAB emailed out a survey concerning the spring con-cert. “We asked for the genre that the

students were most interested in, and then also allowed them to name an artist that they may be interested in,” said Karvosky, “Going off of the results from the survey, Andy Grammer fit best with what the students wanted.”

“We will have an opening act, but it has not been fully worked out yet or confirmed. But we are working on it!” said Karvosky.

Karvosky shared her comments on how she thought ticket sales were doing. “From what I have heard, most students seem to be excited about the idea of having Andy Grammer visit the Creek. It has blown up on social media with an overall positive response, and I’m excited that students are excited!”

Sophomore Amadeo Torrero is on the concert committee and is looking for-ward to helping out behind-the-scenes. When asked about his reaction to the announcement that Grammer would be performing at the spring concert, Torrero admitted to being indifferent and noted that he did not listen to Grammer’s music. “I love all types of

music so it is possible that I may end up liking his music after the show,” he conceded.

While Grammer will be performing in the Convocation Center, there are other events going on campus that have students feeling frustrated with the scheduling conflicts.

Junior music education major Courtney Taylor said, “I was really excited until I found out that they scheduled it at the same time as the Wind Ensemble and Wind Symphony concert which means I wouldn’t be able to go.”

CKP claims its place at CampbellBy Taylor Mckaig Staff Writer

Campus Kitchen Project is a na-tionwide student community service organization working to combat hunger in impoverished areas. After a mission trip to CKP’s birthplace, Washington D.C, three students have taken the initiative to bring the Campus Kitchens Project to Campbell. The program will utilize student involvement in order to feed the hungry in Harnett County, and should be launched within the next month.

One of three committee members, Hannah Jonas, a biology and religion major, describes that the origins of the idea dates back to a campus mission trip to Washington D.C over winter break. The students representing Campbell volunteered at a CKP location in D.C. for a day.

Jonas recounts, “It was really cool, even

though we just prepared a meal, there were a ton of people that we served. We each did one task, there were even con-gressmen that came that day and helped us serve. It was overall really fun.”

Since that day, the students, showing interest in CKP, determined that they wanted to bring the organization back home to Campbell.

In the midst of organizing CKP on campus, Matthew Sokol, another one of the student leaders, shared his excitement about legitimizing the project. “The start-ing of the Campus Kitchens project has been a great experience. We have been working on our service tactics.” he said.

Bringing the project to campus, how-ever, has not been an easy task for any of the group members. Challenges with lo-cation and proper permissions for facility use continue to delay the student’s efforts for the projects start.

“The hardest part has been putting in logistics into place,” said Jonas. Sokol also

explained that deciding what to serve and where are among the most pressing issues at hand.

The group’s original intention was to prepare the food using Marshbanks kitchen, with given permission of course. After being told they could not use those facilities, the group considered using other options such as Memorial Baptist church on campus and the kitchen in the Campus Ministry house.

CKP for Campbell was given a grant to fund the project, but it still poses a problem of location.

Jonas admitted that “It [CKP] was supposed to start last week, due to the grant we have to fund the project, but the grant’s contributors told us we need to serve at a certain area within the county and the only place in that area of the county is Lillington-Shawtown Elementary School.”

living and running go hand-in-hand, and NC Kids Run encourages pre-teen girls and boys to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles through run-ning. Because NC Kids Run is a local Eastern North Carolina non-profit organization that holds these values in high regard, I wanted to hold this race to support their efforts.”

How long has running in the Boston Marathon been a dream of yours?

“The Boston Marathon is the world’s oldest annual marathon and has been run every year since 1897, making this year the 120th anniversary. Besides this, the Boston Marathon is one of the most widely recognized and highly acclaimed road races in the world. Despite all this, I had no particu-lar aspirations to run the Boston Marathon until after the bombing in 2013. This event wreaked havoc in the running community, but brought new unity through the birth of the

hashtag #BostonStrong. Teams and individuals from across the country and around the world posted images of themselves or others running with the hashtag #BostonStrong to show their support for the runners, fami-lies, and communities affected by this tragedy. This event is what inspired me to run the Boston Marathon one day. Little did I know it would be a mere three years later!”

What have you done to prepare for run-ning in this marathon, besides running the 26 miles on campus? How have you worked up to that?

“If you have been walking around campus over the past few months, you have probably seen me running. I run in the morning, middle of the day, evening, and even sometimes in the middle of the night! I decided that in 2016, I was going to do what the run-ning community calls ‘streaking.’ This means I will run at least 1 mile every

day for the entire year. I started in late December, so I have been streaking for the past 89 days. In addition to running every day, I run twice a few days a week. Some of my runs are short and easy, but others are hard and as long as two and a half hours! Since January 1st, I have run 671 miles, so I have been running quite a bit! The Boston Marathon will be my fourth marathon, and I will be shooting for my fastest time with a goal of 2 hours and 45 minutes, which is an average of 6:17 per mile for 26.2 miles.”

What made you want to start running marathons?

“In high school and college, I have raced every distance from 400 meters to 10,000 meters (10k). While racing these various events, I found that as I gradually moved up to longer events, I began to like them more and more. Especially in college, we would go on training runs of 15–20 miles and these

long-distance runs give you a feeling like nothing else—typically called a ‘runner’s high.’ It was always in the back of my mind to run a marathon, but once I get this feeling, I knew I had to. Every year at the end of the cross country season, some of the guys on the team would run from Mars Hill to Asheville, a distance of 20 miles. We called it “The Hill to the Ville.” This was the longest run I had ever done, and [it] really made me want to run a marathon. I signed up and ran my first marathon, on very little train-ing, the week before I graduated from Mars Hill in 2014.”

against a bunch of Campbell students, many of which include Kitchin resi-dents. Each student will be running one mile back-to-back in relay style. 26 of them will run one mile and one person will run .2 miles while Carter runs the entire marathon distance. Each runner, including Carter, will be raising money for the NC Kids Run. The location is to be determined, but the academic circle is what’s being hoped for. That would mean Carter will be running 131 laps to meet the 26 mile goal!

Carter is into fundraising events and hopes to raise at least $1,500 to fund an entire NC Kids Run team for a

whole season, or to provide numerous scholarships for students who cannot afford the program.

Carter is keeping followers updat-ed via Facebook with a status stating, “This might sound a little crazy—it is! I am looking for people who care about instilling this self-respect and healthy lifestyle in our next generation to consider donating to this cause! Any amount is accepted, but I am asking people [for] $1, $2, $3, or more dol-lars per mile I run—I WILL make it all 26!”

Anyone who is willing to donate will be much appreciated, all of the dona-tions will go directly to NC Kids Run.

“I will run at least 1 mile every day for the entire year. I started in late December, so I have been streaking for the

She also disclosed that one issue is that the elementary school does not hold after school programs. Therefore, it would not be available for use. They are currently working with CKP officials to pinpoint another location. Jonas happily report-ed that The Campus Kitchen project will be starting its operation sometime next month. Student volunteers are

encouraged and needed for cooking and serving meals.

Despite all the apparent obstacles the group has encountered, they are all very excited to finally start The Campus Kitchen Project. An optimistic Sokol commented, “It will feel great to serve the community and give back to the local area.”

This is not the first conflict between CAB and the music department. “They did the same thing last year by sched-uling the spring concert on the same date and time as the Jazz Ensemble concert. It’s just not fair to all of us es-pecially considering half of our friends won’t even come see us play now,” said Taylor.

Taylor gave suggestions to CAB on how to prevent this issue. “I would suggest that they check the calendars more thoroughly so that every student has the opportunity go. It’s not fair to everyone in the ensembles.”

CAB did receive multiple messages about this matter. “We were unaware that there was a Wind Ensemble and Wind Symphony Concert on the same day, but Andy chose the day that worked best with his schedule. It’s extremely hard to try and plan such a large event that depends on an

artist’s schedule more than our own, and not overlap with another event on campus,” said CAB Concerts Chair Stephanie Karvosky. “If we limited our options to days where there were absolutely no events, we would have a very hard time getting an artist to come to Campbell because we most likely could not fit into their schedule. We are sincerely sorry that it got planned on the same day, and have expressed so on social media!”

Tickets are still available at the in-formation desk in the Wallace Student Center. Tickets are free for Campbell undergraduate students and are $20 for graduate students and the general public. Doors will open at 7 p.m. and the concert starts at 8 p.m.

“We got a chance to prove that you don’t have to be a ‘stick in the mud’ to be a physician,” said Hannah Anderson, first-year medical student, Director of the Mr. CUSOM Pageant, and Marketing and Advertising Director of the Campbell University Community Care Clinic. “We have our own interests and hobbies, too. Some of us are even kind of talented! We had the opportunity to use the many blessings God has given us to serve our community and help those in need.”

The proceeds collected from Mr. CUSOM supported the Community Care Clinic, which was opened in the spring of 2015 and is geared towards the uninsured members of our local area.

“The Free Clinic provides free health services to the men and women of Harnett County and the surrounding area,” said Anderson. “The clinic is

completely operated by students and staff who volunteer their time to serve the residents of our community.”

education. In recognition of his years of advocating for socially conscious business, the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Foundation named Maynard the Faculty Fellow at Campbell University. Maynard helped students form the Social Entrepreneurship Club and organizes monthly Entrepreneurship Meet-ups for Harnett County.

“He has helped me in so many ways from the time I was a freshman until now,” said Megan Roman, a school of Business mentor. “Dan probably doesn’t even know what a huge influ-ence he’s had on my college career. From helping to improve my writing to helping foster my entrepreneurial goals,

I owe so much to Dan Maynard.”For almost two decades, the Business

library was a hotspot for innovation and guidance, a place where there was always a smiling face and a friend that is willing to help in any way he could. Members of the community come to him to find help with their business and entrepreneurial goals.

Few people can claim as much credit for the success and sense of community at Campbell University as Dan Maynard. The next time you see Maynard in the library or teach-ing your class to format a paper, say thanks. He deserves it.

Q&A with Maud MradBy Matthew SokolSports Editor

Maud Mrad is a senior from Metz, France who plays on the Campbell women’s tennis team. Mrad played club tennis in France in the third highest division.

What is your favorite place to eat off-campus and why?

“I like to eat frozen yogurt, and Sunni Sky’s is my favorite place I like to go off-campus. It is a real-ly good place to go and hang out with friends.”

What is your favorite movie that you have watched?

“My favorite movie to watch is Into the Wild because it is basically my life story. It is about a guy who graduated from college and went to Alaska by himself with only one backpack. His

whole life is like an experience and an adventure. I really like the movie and the film’s landscapes, which are really nice.”

In school, what are your favorite classes that you like to study, and why?

“I am majoring in Communications because it teaches me how to commu-nicate with other people. I want to do something related to communications in my life. I think the relationship between people is really important. What I like about my classes is that it isn’t like the typically class, and we learn about the relationships we can create with each other.”

What is your favorite part of the game that you enjoy working on the most, and why?

“I like doing doubles because I think tennis is an individual sport. With doubles, there are two on the

court which makes tennis more col-lective. I like that part especially with college tennis, which is a collective sport. I like that part because we are two people on a side of the court, and we can help each other. I like when I am the last match, and when my teammates are cheering for me during an important match, pushing me to play well.“

What do you like to do when you’re not on the court?

“During my free time, I am usu-ally studying because we don’t have a lot of free time due to tennis. I am also usually hanging out with friends or skyping with my family. Some physical activities I like to do are swimming and running. I also like going to workout and lift at the gym.”
