New HOPE hohpe n,ue eenn

KElly dicKErsONNews Editor

The HOPE scholarship pro-gram has been under recent pres-sure due to the inability of Geor-gia lottery revenue to keep pacewith the program.

Students were initially re-quired to maintain a 3.0 GPA toretain their HOPE scholarship.Now, if students want the full-tuition scholarship, called theZell Miller Scholarship, they mustgraduate as valedictorian, saluta-torian, or have at least a 3.7 highschool GPA and a 1200 SAT scoreand they must maintain a 3.5 GPAwhile in college.

This year students with a 3.0GPA received about $500 less per

semester.

Mount Berry Church celebrates 100 yearsKristEN sEllErsDeputy News Editor

Mount Berry Church will be holding a special serviceon Sunday Feb. 19 inviting students and alumni to cele-

brate the 100th year of church services in the Berry CollegeChapel.

Interim Chaplain Jon Huggins said this special servicehas been in the works since the summer. While Hugginswas reading over Mount Berry Church history, he saw thevery rst service date, Feb. 22 1912 and thought it to be ap-propriate to begin the planning process for a celebration.

Students and alumni will participate in leading the ser-

vice through scripture readings and leading worship. Ad-junct instructor Allyson Chambers is a native of Rome, Ga.and grew up in Mount Berry Church. During the serviceshe will be sharing the history of the church. The specialguest speaker for the celebration is Will Willimon, formerDean of the Chapel at Duke University.

With the service so soon, Huggins said he is excited forthe whole experience.

I have a really strong sense of history and signicanceof the moment. This is what makes being at Berry so spe-cial. Being a part of a historic story that we can all be proudof- the story that begins with Martha Berry, Hugginssaid.

Huggins said how Martha Berry decided to start thechurch on campus.

It was her Christian faith to live a life of benevolentpurpose for the good of others. In addition to education,she felt that students needed spiritual formation. So in ad-

dition to starting Berry schools she founded the church,Huggins said.Before College Chapel was built and Mount Berry

Church existed, Martha Berry would load up wagons and

take the students to church in the community, rotating de-nominations each week. This began the foundation for aninterdenominational church on Berrys campus.

Once College Chapel was built and services began, Mar-tha Berry kept the service open as interdenominational.

Associate Professor of Sociology and former ChaplainDale McConkey said one time when a band came to leadworship one Sunday at Mount Berry Church they com-mented that the outside of the church looks Baptist, the in-side looks Episcopalian and the hymnals look Evangelical.McConkey said that is a prime demonstration that MountBerry Church as always been interdenominational wherestudents of different backgrounds can come together asone body.

Its really cool to me that the church has been aroundfor 100 years. In my life it has been a really big impact be-ing able to fellowship with other students at Berry, staffsupervisor of the Chaplains Ofce senior Sarah Thomassaid.

Director of worship at Mount Berry Church, junior LisaAnders, said Mount Berry Church has provided a placewhere all students can come where there is no denomina-tion afliation and they get to know and fellow believers.

I feel really privileged to have a part in the 100thservice. It is cool to know that for 100 years people haveworshiped at Berry College in the chapel and we can nowcelebrate the faithfulness of the Lord and of the people atBerry, Anders said.

Even though many things have changed about theformat of the worship services, the continuity of studentshaving the opportunity to express their faith on campus for100 years is denitely worth celebrating, McConkey said.

Huggins said he hopes students will come and be a partof the moment.The 100th anniversary service of Mount Berry Church is

Battling Racial StereotypesDespite America being a melting pot of cultures and races, stereotyping is still a prevalent issue in the United States

today. People of different religious faiths, communities and traditions are frequently met with judgment and misun-

derstanding. Often these misunderstandings are founded on a broad oversimplication of a peoples viewpoint orculture, even among the students at Berry. These experiences can have dramatic emotional and psychological

effects on victims could carry with them through the rest of their lives. Stereotyping can range anywhere from over-

generalizations to direct racism and can be enforced unconsciously or with malicious intent.

Here are some of the stereotypes that multi-national students have faced on campus, in the media and throughout

their daily lives.

Orgullo, the Spanishword for pride, is an

organization built topromote awarenessof the Hispanic cul-ture in the Berry andRome community.

Interfaith CouncilFounded in 2003, the Interfaith

Council is a collection of facultyand students to build a contextin which members of differentfaiths can feel welcomed. Thecouncil exists to spread aware-

ness and assist in a dialogueabout the major religious and

cultural groups on Berrys Cam-pus and in the Rome community.

The Black Student

AllianceThe Black Student Alliance(BSA) is a group of studentswho work to promote the

integration of black culturewith Berrys social, academic

and religious environment.

The Berry International Clubis a student organization

dedicated to the unity, fellow-ship and cultural exchangeacross Berrys campus andin the Rome community.

Profiling at Berry: A first-hand account

Sophomore Ahmad Naseri simply goes by Walid. Among his array of activities, Naseri is a KCAB programmer, amember of International Club and the Bonner Leadership Team, and the Club Soccer Captain. He is also theevent coordinator for the Berry Muslim Group, a new religion-in-life group that aims to bring religious diversity to

Berrys campus. The story of his youth is as diverse and surprising as many multicultural people living in Americatoday.

Naseri was born in Afghanistan and lived there for the rst six years of his life. His family moved to Belarus, Rus -sia and resided there for another seven years before nally moving to the United States when he was 13. As aresult, Naseri speaks four languages including Arabic and Russian.

Like so many Middle Eastern people in the United States today, Naseri has faced racial stereotyping on morethan one occasion. Everywhere from the airport, where he says hes almost always pulled aside to be fullyfrisked, to a Berry classroom, where a derogatory comment was made about his country of origin, has present-ed Naseri with situations of racial discrimination.

It just feels like they think of you as less than a human, Naseri said. Its not my fault Im from Afghanistan,grew up in Russia and my rst name is Ahmad, but they blame me.

Naseri accepts that many people paint an incorrect picture of people of a different race or culture. He overcomes these experiences bychoosing to move on and be as true to himself as possible.

You have to let people see you're not who they think you are, Naseri said.

Sophomore Josy Roman spent a majority of her childhood in Houston, Texas speaking Spanish as a rst lan-guage with her parents. Her family was originally from Puebla, a small village in southern Mexico and moved tothe United States a few years before she was born. In the second grade, her family moved to Peachtree City,Ga. so that her mother could be closer to her sister.

At Berry, Roman said she has only one experience with racial discrimination. A cultural event on campus ad-dressed the issue of illegal immigration.

The guys behind me were so rude, Roman said. Basically, the womans point was that immigrants are peo-ple too and they keep shouting things like No! We should throw them outta the country! and They're drainingall our tax dollars!

Despite this incidence, Roman expressed that the most prevalent form of racism she has experienced hasbeen within the Latina community. The higher-level of income her family, her fathers position at Chick-l-a andher attendance at Berry have all contributed to a negative image of her family among other Hispanic peoples.They look at me as a higher-up Latina because were not with them, Roman said.

Roman continues to thrive as an employee at Viking Fusion and an active member of the Berry community, despite these moments of ste-reotyping. She said her group of friends embrace her heritage and cultural traditions with understanding and humor.

The other day we threw a party and they signed the card for me, Roman said laughing. It was card with a row of different kinds ofdogs and they said Dont worry, we didnt sign your name above the Chihuahua because we thought it would upset you.

Sophomore Antonio Thurmond has struggled with racial stereotypes since he was a young child. After movingto Statham, Ga. in the third grade, his mother enrolled him in an after-school program.

Once the head of the after-school program realized we were African-American, she explained to my momthat they didnt want to have any trouble in after-school, Thurmond said. She was hesitant to enroll us untilmy mom explained that our cousin was in after-school as well, and then she was more willing to let us in.

Thurmond said he understands that stereotyping is often part of a greater initiative to be humorous, but hepoints out that a belief that the stereotypes are true is a sign of ignorance.

"I honestly think it has to do with the environment you grew up in, Thurmond said. If you grew up somewherewhere the only experience to diversity was what you see on television and what others in your environment

have told you, youll believe that the stereotypes are actual fact.

Thurmond said racial discrimination has had a major effect on his romantic life more than any other social rela-tionships.

Ive only dated one girl out of my race in my life and when we did, her family could not know, Thurmond said. I had several whitefriends, both male and female, tell me that if they dated someone black or Hispanic, their families would disown them.

Despite these moments of discrimination, Thurmond continues to succeed on Berrys campus. He takes his experiences and resolves tonot make the same mistakes and encourages others to do the same.

Dont think just because some people you meet are one way that every person of that group is that way, Thurmond said.
