All he had was $20 in hispocket. He had no job, noscholarships, and was araway rom his home countryo Zimbabwe. His onlycomort was a promise romhis ather that God wouldtake care o him.
Tis was Kelvinarukwasha, the general
manager o Sodexo, when hearrived as a Lee student in1994.
Aer 19 years o bothstudying and working at Lee,he will return with his amilyto Zimbabwe next month.
He will be returningto a country whereunemployment is at an all-time high and millions are indesperate need o ood aid.His reasoning? It is Gods
plan or his lie.I do not believe in luck,
arukwasha said. I believethat God has a plan or ourlives and that He orders oursteps and directs our paths.
arukwasha, his wie,Norma, and their two youngchildren Karen and Josiah,will be moving to Zimbabwein order to be closer to amilyand ulll his calling to servehis country.
My plan wasnt to stayhere, arukwasha said.It was just a matter otiminga lot o things justhappened, one aer another,that delayed us rom goingback.
Despite the years spentaway rom his country, hesaid he does not think he lostany time at all.
I believe everything thathas happened in our lie,
although dierent rom ouroriginal plan was Gods planor us, arukwasha said.I eel that I am personallybetter prepared to serve inZimbabwe [now].
arukwasha will work
alongside his ather anduncle as soon as he returnsto Zimbabwe. His long-termplans are to operate a socialbusiness, which will work tosupport youths who are livingwith HIV/AIDS.
It is kind o like [being] atentmaker, arukwasha said.You use your proessionalskills to provide not only oryoursel, but or others.
He also plans to use
his knowledge o oodmanagement he gained whileworking or Sodexo to partnerwith existing organizationswho are working to solve thehunger problem.
I dont know i it is acalling, it just makes senseto me, arukwasha said. Itgrew on me, this passion tohelp the hungry.
His passion or servingthose in need was his initial
reason or applying to Lee in1993.
I [had] wanted to studyto be in Christian educationso I could work with theyouth and in the church,arukwasha said.
Aer being accepted, hisamily saved up money orthe plane ticket and the downpayment or tuition. Yetdue to a misunderstandingwith an organization upon
his arrival on campus, hediscovered that he was notable to receive a scholarshipthat had previously beenawarded to him.
In order to pay or school,he worked three jobs whiletaking classes. He wouldclean the library at night,work in the dining hall, andhad a part-time job installingcarpets in campus buildings.
Tere were times when I
was tempted to pick up andgo back, arukwasha said.
Yet it was the belie thatGod had a plan or his liethat kept him going.
Instead o looking at allthe hours I was working
as a problem, I looked at itlike God was providing,arukwasha said.
Over the years, he acedmany challenges that delayedhis chances to return toZimbabwe. Yet his aith inGods provision has remainedintact.
Tere will always bechallenges, arukwashasaid. Whether it is acingnot having money to pay or
school, or a personal loss inlieat least in my lie, Godhas always been aithul.
In addition to being apart o groups that havebrought in businesses such asSubway and Einsteins to Leescampus, arukwasha hasbeen heavily involved withLees Arican internationalstudent population.
He was part o a team opeople who supported Darlia
Conn, an adjunct proessorat the School o Music andwie o President Conn,in establishing the DarliaMcLuhan Conn Arican
Student Scholarship.[He has] such a
heart or other studentsrom Arica, Conn said. I
just think hes a remarkableperson and I think God hasblessed him and I absolutelywish him the best.
He said he would miss therelationships he has madewith people rom Lee themost.
People have invested so
much in my lie, arukwashasaid. I cant justiy whypeoplehave mentored meexcept by saying that it is toprepare me or what God hascalled me to do in Zimbabwe.
Chris Conine, vicepresident o business andnance, said many at Leeadmire arukwasha. He is valued andrespected by me, his peersat Sodexo and scores o
students, aculty and sta atLee University, Conine said.
He will denitely be missed.

Tis all semester markedthe beginning o trainingor students in the rst everclass o Lees new Master oBusiness Administrationprogram.
Te 36-hour, two yearprogram was in the makingsince the Department oBusiness received nationalaccreditation rom theAccreditation Councilor Business Schools andPrograms in 2008. Te MBAprogram was accredited inJuly o this year.
MBA student MorganAdams said that hisclasses consist mostly o
proessionals with diversework backgrounds, includingexperience in pharmaceutics
and banking, although thereare some students whorecently completed theirundergraduate degrees.
Its neat to be part o therst class in the rst semestergoing through the program,Adams said.
Shane Grith, associate
proessor and director ograduate studies in business,said that the MBA isimportant or Lee becauseit has become a standardrequirement or careeradvancement in business.
We are committed tomaking a dierence in ourworld, and part o thatmeans that we must preparetomorrows leaders withthe ramework to make
challenging decisions ina rapidly changing globaleconomy, Grith said.
Te MBA program is notonly new or Lee, but it isalso dierent rom its othergraduate programs becauseo its hybrid curriculumthat combines traditionalclassroom teaching withonline components.
Students take two courses
per semester, but each classmeets only one evening everyother week (the coursesalternate each week). Duringthe time that one class doesnot meet, online assignmentsare expected to be completed.Dewayne Tompson,proessor and chair o thedepartment o business,said that the goal o thehybrid ormat is to make thedegree more convenient or
its target market workingproessionals in the earlystages o their careers.
You must considerwhat their needs must be,Tompson said. Tese olksare likely working with amilyand job responsibilities.
Grith said thecombination is intended tobalance convenience with thepersonal interaction o the
classroom.We are also mindul thatsome things cannot bereplicated online, Grithsaid.
MBA student Jesse Houlesaid that while he is stillguring out how to adjustto the online component,it makes it easier or himto work with classmates ongroup assignments.
I had a amily emergency
and had to run out o town,so i we were trying to meet asa group I wouldnt have been
able to, Houle said.In addition to the
convenience, Grith saidLees MBA program diersrom others because o theintegration o aith into thecurriculum and the ocus onexperiential learning.
Tompson said that the
program tries to avoid beingtoo mechanical, by addinga course that most MBAprograms wouldnt include,titled Te Evolution oManagement Tought.
Tompson said theprogram would put Lee onthe radar o more students,showing them that Lee doestake seriously preparingmanagers or senior-levelleadership.
Tey really are trying tomake us masters o business,Houle said.

Tis all semester, the
School o Religion partneredwith the Division o AdultLearning to oer an onlineMaster o Arts in ministrystudies, in addition to the oncampus degree. Tis was dueto an interest in the programrom people across thecountry and overseas.
Currently, the program isonly oered to people livingin the United States.
What we ound whenwe started doing nationalpromotions was we got alot o responses rom a loto people who were veryinterested in the degree,but were in Washington orCaliornia or Oregon, LisaLong, assistant proessor o
Christian ormation, said.Te average time
commuting students arecomortable with driving
long distance is our hours.We did have some
[students] that were comingas ar as six hours away, Longsaid. Tey were driving in,getting a hotel room, stayingor class and going back.
Currently 18 studentsare enrolled in the onlineprogram. Te goal is to have18 to 20 additional studentsenroll in January.
Tere are six eight-weeksessions oered each year.Tis semesters course, taughtby Long through Moodle,is Christian Spirituality andMinistry. Joshua Black, theexecutive director o theDivision o Adult Learning,said tuition and course
content are the same orthe online and on campusprograms.
With this program
specically, weve asked Longand her team in the Schoolo Religion to design thecourses, Black said. Tepeople who actually teachthe courses in the campustraditional program are alsowriting the online ones.
Te program currentlyintegrates video and willinclude webinars in theuture.
For the most part, thestudents enrolled in theprogram are adults withamilies who elt a call toministry or desired graduatetraining in their currentministry eld. With theaorementioned elementsconsidered, Black said the
online option is the only wayto obtain a degree or thesestudents.
Most o the students are
in active ministry now, so inorder or them to take thisprogram, online, they elt,was the only option or theiramily and or their ministry,Black said.
An introductory intensivewas held on Sept. 7 in theSchool o Religion. Deanerry Cross and Longwere there to welcome thestudents. Tey discussedsome o the basic oundationsand expectations o allreligion students. Studentsattend the intensive in personor watched online throughAdobe Connect.
It was basically anintroduction to the programand to urabian writing
style, Black said.Black has received only
positive eedback rom
students that attended theintensive.
A couple o [the students]got undergrad degrees atother places but have alwaysdreamed o coming to Lee,Black said. Tis is like adream come true or them.
Another intensive willbe scheduled or later inthe program. Tis one willexplain the nal project thestudents must complete intheir last term.
Black believes the programwill be broadened to anoverseas program eventually.
We are starting anothergroup in January and we havealready had some inquiriesor overseas.

Te School o Musicreorganized into three newdepartments this semester tohelp students better ocus ontheir degrees.
Te new departments,which began this semester,are music education,musicianship studies andmusic perormance studies.Te School o Music waspreviously split into twodepartments; the departmento instrumental music andthe department o vocalmusic.
Te passion behind allo this is to allow students
to kind o be driven by theirdegree as opposed to whatinstrument they played,School o Music DeanWilliam Green said.
Phillip Tomas, the chairo the new Musicianship
Studies department, said thattheres been a bit o conusionin the transition.
But students and acultyare better served by thistransition, Tomas said. [It]gives [students] an immediatepeer group and a single placeto get answers to questions.
Some students have takenwell to the changes, whileothers are upset or conused.
Te transition has beenincredibly conusing. Imsure itll get better in theuture, student James urnersaid. Tey [have] newdepartment heads, and noone was notied. So no oneknows who to go to or what.
JJ Williamson, a church
music major, said his classrequirements changedbecause the major became aBachelor o Music rather thana Bachelor o Arts degree.
But those assertionsarent correct said Christina
Reynolds, the recruitmentcoordinator or the SOM.
Reynolds said that studentswere notied through theweekly perormance seminarswhich all SOM studentsare required to attend. Shesaid the school also sentout emails and put up yerstelling students about thedepartmental changes.
Majors and degreerequirements have notchanged; theyve onlybeen moved into dierentdepartments, according toReynolds.
I really like the split in theSOM. I think it streamlinesthings, and nothing reallychanges or me, Danae
Pick, a music educationvocal major, said via email.It is nice to have the threedepartments, because it reallymakes paperwork go a lotmore smoothly.
Green said the School o
Music based its departmentalshis on other music schoolsacross the country underthe National Association oSchools o Music, the SOMsaccrediting agency.
With the old departments,there were duplicate degreesor majors such as churchmusic and music education.Tis change now keeps majorswithin specic departmentsso students and aculty donthave to run between dierentdivisions.
Music education, chairedby Linda Tompson, is theSOMs largest departmentwith over hal o all musicstudents enrolled. All o theensembles and conducting
class all under musiceducation.Musicianship studies,
under Phillip Tomas,consists o the more academicside o music subjects likemusic theory and history, and
is more classroom based.Finally, perormance
studies is the smallest o thenew departments, and itschaired by Andrea Dismukes.Tough it only has theperormance major, its alsoresponsible or coordinatingprivate lessons, end osemester juries and studentperormances.
Green said all SOMstudents will take coursesin musicianship and musicperormance studies, but noteveryone will have courses inmusic education.
Change is always achallenge, Green said. Soweve had to maneuverthrough a little bit to nd out
whos responsible or what.And weve had to help thestudents a little bit in pointingthem in the right directionwhen they had a question ina particular area.
Despite the conusion,
the transition was longthought out and planned or.According to Green, the plansto reorganize the School oMusic were in the works orthree to our years.
Te transition includedchanges to things likeaculty assignments, payroll,I systems and internalbudgeting.
However, the School oMusic isnt receiving anymore university unds ortheir budget, Green said.Teyre restructuring theirbudget or three departmentsrather than two.
Despite the challengestheyve aced so ar, Tomassaid that students should see
immediate benets rom thedepartmental transition.Next semester will be
much smoother, Green said.

Te new sandwich shopJimmy Johns opened itsdoors to the public or the sttime on Sept. 19.
Te shop is located at thecorner o Keith St. and Har-rison Pike.
Almost two years ago,manager John Kleban de-
cided to open a new JimmyJohns location in Cleveland.Te desired location was onethat oers access to both LeeUniversity and the downtownCleveland area. Tis played
a huge role in the decisionor the sandwich shop to beplaced at its new spot.Tis ast paced sandwichshop serves only cold subs,chips, cookies, pickles anddrinks.
No hot subs, no soups,no salads, operating partnerMike Mayes said.
What sets Jimmy Johnsapart rom their competition
however, is the act that theydeliver. A sandwich order canbe placed by simply callingin, ordering online, or eventhrough the easily accessibleJimmy Johns mobile app.
As soon as an order is placed,Jimmy Johns goal is to have acustomers meal delivered 10to 12 minutes ollowing theirorder, wherever they may bearound town. Teir deliveryslogan, Freaky ast. Freakygood, emphasizes their spe-cialization in quick lunch op-tions.
Not only do we hope, butwe really know were going to
nail this concept and knock itout o the park, Mayes said.Lee University students makeup over 95 percent o the 40new Jimmy Johns employ-ees. Te managers are eager
to open the restaurant with ahard-working and ast pacedteam.
Jimmy Johns employeeand Lee student VelicityMoore said, Its a great placeto work and Im enjoying it.Everyones nice and workinghard together. Even the cus-tomers see that were having agreat time and that makes uphappy.
Using the concept o theHenry Fords assembly line,the average sandwich is madewithin 30 to 40 seconds. Tedesire o the team is to get ev-ery sandwich and every order
into every customers handbeore the customer even re-ceives his or her change andreceipt.
It can be done. And it willbe done, second assistantmanager Jeremy Roberts said.Although the shop opens at10 a.m. every morning, work-ers come in at 5:30 a.m. toprepare all o the ingredientsor the day ahead. During
this time the bread is bakedresh, while onions, lettuce,tomatoes, cucumbers andcelery are all reshly sliced orevery sandwich.
Everything is made every
single day absolutely resh,Mayes said.
Although the menu hasplenty o delicious choicesto choose rom, First assis-tant Michael Peterson said,Youve got to try the numbernine.
Jimmy Johns will be openrom 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Mon-day through Sunday. Teyalso oer a last-minute cater-
ing service.

He recently shared his storyto the entire reshman class atthe reshman U-Church in
August.It was amazing just
to be able to show Godsaithulness, and be able tosay Here I am, this is whatGod can do. Teres nothingthat Hes done or me that Hecant do or you, McBeathsaid.
He is also a new member oCampus Choir, which is theoldest and largest ensembleon campus.
Its not just music: itsworship, McBeath said. We
just want God to be able tobe revealed through us thats why I love it so much. We sing, but at the sametime you know were able toallow the Holy Spirit to workin peoples lives.
While the new scheduleand workload has been anadjustment, McBeath saidthat he loves Lee so ar andthe riends he has made here.
His resident advisorCJ Minor said that heloves McBeaths outgoingpersonality and commitmentto dorm lie and events.
He loves to laugh andsmile, Minor said. You cantell by his personality that heis ministry minded and wantsto bless others.
McBeath, originally romCincinnati, Ohio, heardabout Lee rom his aunt, who
went to Lee in 1991 and stilllives in Cleveland. He saidthat he ended up choosingLee because he wanted to bein an environment where hecould grow academically andspiritually.
He is currently undecidedon his major, but is leaning
toward a degree in the Schoolo Religion, as he said he eelscalled to evangelize.
According to cerebralpalsy.org, Every case o cerebral
palsy is unique to theindividual. One person mayhave total paralysis andrequire constant care, whileanother with partial paralysismight have slight movementtremors but require littleassistance.
In McBeaths case, theright side o his mouth, armand leg do not unction aswell as the le. However,at a young age he began
receiving specialized carerom the Shriners Hospital inLexington, Ky., which helpedhim adjust.
Where he is today,McBeath said with a smileon his ace, is an absolutemiracle.

Local coee shop menusdisplay wide varieties odrinks, ranging rom theclassic caramel macchiatoto the occasionally eaturedseasonal drink. However,beneath the advertisedmenus on the surace lies
an underground networko specialty drink menus,available only to those whoare in the know.
Students do not have totravel ar in search o thesesecret coee drinks. Localcoee shops such as InmanStreet Coeehouse, Lasaters,Starbucks, and even Lees
very own Jazzmans Ca
have a wealth o unusualdrink recipes brewing rightunderneath the noses ostudents.
Jazzmans manager AmberFranklin brought a ew othese recipes to light whenasked which drinks theymake or their customerslucky enough to know oJazzmans underground
menu.Te Bear Claw is a big in
the know among customers.When people hear about it,they really enjoy that one alot, Franklin said. Te BearClaw, one o Jazzmans secretblended drinks, is made withice cream and avored withthe crowd-pleasing combina-tion o chocolate and p eanut
butter.On the other hand, stu-
dents bold enough to stepoutside the box o tradi-tional avors can chooseto upgrade their Bear Clawby substituting or addingan extra avor. Te PolarBear, a variation o the BearClaw, is an option or thosewho preer the avor white
chocolate over traditionalchocolate. Students wantingan additional caeine buzzalso have the option to addespresso, creating the RagingBear Claw.

However secret the underground drinks o Clevelands local coee shops may be, it is nolonger secret that they are just as delicious as they are creative.
However, or students whopreer to leave chocolate outo the Bear Claw equation,the Grizzly Bear gives theoption to substitute caramelsauce in the place o whiteand milk chocolate.
Sophomore Michaela Olsonsays the Grizzly Bear is de-nitely her avorite.
I really like the combina-tions with peanut butter inthem, but Im not always ahuge an o chocolate. So,

Te textile arts club knownas Knit Wits began our yearsago as a way or students togive back to the communityby donating the items theyknit to local shelters andindividuals in need.
Senior Sarah Juday, whois the president o Knit Wits,
joined the club her reshmanyear at Lee and has not once
regretted her decision. Sherst heard about the clubbeore she even arrived ontoLees campus.
I knew that i it didntexist -- a club like this Iwouldve wanted to start one,so I jumped right in, Judaysaid.
We basically cometogether as a group to workon projects, and we have a lot
o blankets that we are usually
working on at one timeandit works really well becauseeveryone can work at theirown level.
Te concept Knit Witshas to do with comingtogether as a group to createsomething special andunique or someone else.Every blanket made is knittogether using the squarescreated by each individual.
Were making something
bigger out o the smallerthings, Knit Wits historianJoice Cecilio said.
Cecilio joined Knit Witsduring her reshman year aswell and has been a part eversince.
My rst semester I got in,and pretty much everyonein my dorm went to the rstmeeting to see what it waslike and we all learned to
knit and we just ell in love,
Cecilio said.Her experience with the
club has taught her not onlyto love the art o knitting, butalso the art o giving back.
Donations are a big parto Knit Wits, which is whyservice hours are included inthe program. Every item thatis made is given mostly toshelters and nursing homesas well as pregnancy centersthroughout the community.
Teir most recent donationswere with Lees Cross-Overministry.
One o the biggerorganizations that wedonate to is the New HopePregnancy Center. We knitthings like hats to little bibs.Weve done teddy bears andwe usually do blankets andscarves. Anything that wecan do together as a group,
Cecilio said.Te club also takes time
out to knit with the seniorcitizens over at the Cleveland
owers every now and then.Interestingly, gender is not
an issue with this club. Guysare welcome to join i theywant to. Senior Connor Zehris also a member o Knit Wits.He too joined his reshmanyear o college, just as Sarahand Joice did.
When I rst got into it,I kind o went not as a joke,but to see what it was about.
I didnt expect to like it or getinvolved in it, Zehr said.
Zehr is now the publicrelations ocer or Knit

As reshmen, JustinWaggoner and James Sniderdreamed o starting a bandand traveling around thecountry. Tey wanted peopleto hear their music they hadbeen quietly writing togetherinside their dorm rooms.Little did they know thatwithin three years theyd be apart o an indie band namedTe Ambitions.
Te band is comprised o
lead vocalist Waggoner, whoplays the ukulele and piano,electric guitarist Snider,acoustic guitarist Matt Dyche,Deanna Gilson on the bells,and Dominique Drinkard,who plays the accordian.
Drinkard described theband as indie, theatrical,olk, experimental and spirit-based. We sing about real-lie situations, she said.
Its really cool when we
get together because [James]likes jazz and Justin is moretheatre. So when all this stucomes together it creates anamazing sound, Dyche said.
Some o their songs donthave anything to do with
the band members at all,but someone or somethingtheyve come across. Onesong in particular, titledGamble, which based ona woman Waggoner met atWafe House.
Te Ambitions made theirdebut during last springsConnaroo outdoor musicestival hosted by Phi MuAlpha.
We didnt even know i wewere doing well because ourhands were rozen rom thecold, Snider said.
Te Ambitions have beengoing strong since theirbeginning in January. Butco-ounder Waggoner said ittook a while or the band tocome together.
We spent like three yearsailing over and over again,Waggoner said.
It wasnt until Snider andWaggoner met Dyche thatthey truly began pursuingtheir plans o starting a band.
Te three o them began togather together and writesongs rom their heart.
Matt would constantlycome to our dorm roombegging to jam and playmusic. He was basically the
engine to the birth o thisband, Snider said.
Shortly aer, newcomerDrinkard showed interest in
joining the band. She had apassion or writing poetryand believed that she wouldmake a great addition.
I always loved to write. Ihave a book where I just writewhatever comes to mind, shesaid.
We werent looking orjust instrumentalists. Wewanted them to be ourriends so there werent any
problems, Waggoner said.Te Ambitions, alongwith the band known as TeEmerson Project, perormedat this years Art in the Parkevent as students gatheredin Alumni Park on Friday,Sept.13.
Tey played original songs,as well as a cover o KatyPerrys song Roar.
I think theyre so good,sophomore Cierra McShine
said. Ive never heard othem beore but the waythe use all dierent kindso music together is justawesome. And the lead singerhas an amazing voice.
Teir slogan is Put a
skull on it, which Waggonerexplained means toughen upand be proessional.
Te Ambitions havea seven track EP titledFlagship, which waspreviously released in May onBandcamp.com.
Tough they hope to soonrelease an entire album in theuture, the group is currentlyworking to perect their cra.
Te lyrics are what kindo struck me the most. Teyare so deep, yet it stirs a bito joy inside o you, senior
Katherine Price said. Andits crazy because theyre allmy riends but I had no ideaabout their talent.
All we really want to do isspread hope, Drinkard said.
In the coming months theyhope to embark upon theirrst Christmas tour, travelingto cities such as Atlanta,Indianapolis and Knoxville.
In the near uture, however,the Ambitions will be playing
at Inman Street CoeehouseOct. 24.

As the Lady Flames soccerpractice begins, one playerstands out rom the rest. Notonly is she the rst one donewith her conditioning run,lapping almost every othermember o the team, shes alsothe teams most vocal player.
She encourages teammates,makes sure players are inthe right place and calls outwhat she sees as the practiceprogresses.
First eam All-American,ormer Brazilian Olympicplayer and current LadyFlames soccer captain LeahFortune is arguably one othe most successul transerathletes at Lee.
Te story o a transer
student stepping onto Lees
campus and nding successis not an unamiliar tale.Whether its the story oormer basketball playerand an avorite Bigg SteveBennett, Boston Red Soxdraee Myles Smith or high-ying ormer volleyball starArlene Ferreira, transerstudent-athletes are speckledacross Lee University athletic
programs and have helpedwith the Flames successthroughout the years.
Leahs journey spansacross the world: Shes beena part o the U.S. OlympicDevelopment Program, theBrazilian Olympic team,the University o exas andnally Lee University.
Hudson and KarenFortune, Leahs parents, wereAmerican missionaries in
Brazil at the time o Leahs
birth. Tey moved to Americawhen Leah was young, andshe grew up in Chicago. Leahgained dual citizenship dueto her Brazilian and Chicagoties.
Soccer was a major part othe Fortune amilys lives.I was basically raised on
the eld, Leah said.Her ather played
proessionally andintroduced her to the gameas a young girl. Hudson ownsthe PlayUSA soccer complexin Chicago, and Leah wouldollow her dad to work tolearn the game.
Once Leah was in high
school, she attended WheatonAcademy. During her highschool career, she played aew months with the U16/U17 Olympic DevelopmentProgram or the UnitedStates.
With the [OlympicDevelopment Program,] wewent over to Brazil with theRegional National eam orthe United States. While Iwas there, one o the national
coaches or Brazil saw meplay and asked me to go outor a 10 day camp, Leah said.Tose 10 days would turninto ve years. For the nextve years, she traveled backand orth rom high school,
and eventually college, toBrazil. She would y to Brazilor soccer and y back intime or school.
Aer high school, Leahwas a sought aer recruit
and signed to play with theUniversity o exas. However,Brazil had other plans. Aerenrolling at exas, Brazilcalled Leah and asked her toplay with their Olympic team.
I went to exas, andI loved it. I had a greatexperience, but when I gotcalled up to play in qualierswith Brazil or the OlympicsI had to withdraw [romexas,] Leah said.
Because o NCAAregulations, Leah would haveto sit out a season beoreplaying again with exasbecause o her proessionalstatus, and that was notsomething she was willing todo.
o me, soccer is a wayto build relationships andbe a witness. I eel like Godgave me an amazing gi,and I want to use it or His
kingdom. So I did not wantto sit out a year, she said.
Leah started to look atsuccessul NAIA schools,but while she was playing inEcuador with Brazil she toreher ACL.
At that point I got a reallyunique opportunity, and Igot to go back and coach myhigh school team while I didrehab. Right away, while I wasout there coaching, I knew I
wanted to get back in classes.So I contacted [Lady FlamesHead Coach] Matt Yelton tosee i I could play in the all,Leah said.
Since Leahs arrival at LeeUniversity, she has made animmediate impact on thewomens soccer program.Not only was she namedFirst eam All-American,she also helped lead theLady Flames to two National
Championships.Even i you take awaywhat [Leah] does on theeld, she contributes with herleadership o o the eldShe is a antastic player andshe has achieved a lot, but shealso is a person that representswhat we try to do here at Lee.Her character is exemplary,and she does a lot in termso making sure the youngerplayers are comortable and
the chemistry is good, Yeltonsaid.
Yelton raved about Leahsabilities on and o o theeld, and her teammatesreiterated the act that Leahdisplays those abilities.
Leah has grown to beone o my closest riendsover the last couple years,ellow captain Alison Braunsaid. She is super consistentand has invested in me a lot
personally. She is one o thosepeople that is all in, and she isreally intense. She works thehardest out o anybody onthe eld everyday. She holdshersel to the highest possiblestandards, and she holds theteam to a high standard aswell. She plays at a higherlevel.
Her past experience hasdenitely helped, Yelton said.[Because o her experience,]
she knows how to competein big games. Shes played inan environment that we dontnecessarily get to replicate awhole lotIn her rst yearwith us in the seminalsand the nals o the nationaltournament, she played herbest soccer o the year.
As practice comes to aclose and other players beginto trickle out, Leah stays. Shediscusses the practice with
her coach and talks to theyounger players; no doubtsharing a bit o her wisdomand experience.

Coachs Corner with Caleb Morgan
By Richard ByrdStaf Writer
Cross Country HeadCoach Caleb Morgan hashigh expectations or theFlames this season.
Tis team has thepotential to be the best teamwe have ever had at Lee. Welook to continue the trendo big improvements as the
season progresses, Morgansaid.
Morgan, who took overthe head coaching dutiesmid way through last season,will coach both the men and
womens teams.Morgan believes that the
teams overall health will leadthe team to great success.
Aer being hired, one oMorgans rst moves wasthe hiring o assistant coachWill Musto to aid him in thecoaching o the two teams.
I coached at Notre DameHigh School in Chattanoogathe last two years as the head
cross-country coach andassociate head track coach.Coming to the college levelhas really been a pleasure.Coach Morgan, and I haveknown each other since high
school and we have a reallygreat working relationship.Were both young andgrowing together as coaches,Musto said.
Morgan and Musto have aunique challenge in preparingor the opponents they ace.Most Lee coaches typicallyprepare or opponents intheir own division. However,in cross-country, it is not
uncommon or a team to acea mixture o schools romdivisions dierent than theirown.
Cross country is aninteresting sport. Everybody
always races everybody.Competing against DivisionI and Division II schools isnothing new or our athletes.Were excited looking at theDII regional and nationalrankings and looking orwardto where our program can bewhen we join DII as a ull-edged school, Musto said.
Both teams are expectingto have a number o runners
who are expected to regularlycompete at a high levelagainst sti competition thisseason.
On the guys side, werea really young team. Weve
noticed that our roster isvery uid up to this pointand the contributors havechanged almost daily, so itsa really exciting program.I dont think weve reallythought about our ceiling tothis point. On the girls side,we have a whole lot o talent.Our hardest task as coachesright now is managing theroster and keeping everyone
healthy. Our roster is a littlebanged up right now withrandom injuries, Musto said.
At the University oennessee-ChattanoogaPowerade Invitational on
Sept. 9, the womens teamtook the top prize while themens team nished third inthe invitational.
At the VanderbiltCommodore Classic, verunners on the mens squadposted personal best times.
Morgan, Musto and thecross-country teams willtravel to Louisville to competein the Greater Louisville
Classic on Oct. 5.
Morgan believes cross-country program has potential to be best ever

How strong are your values?Te biggest unnel ever (and Im nottalking about a tornado)
By Eric MillerLiberal columnist
In response to the lastcolumn by my riend Zach, Iwould like to expand on theidea o compromise and why
it is so dicult. I agree withZach that looking at moresides o any issue more indepth is a good thing, as thetruth avoids simplicity. Butcompromise requires morethan that reection.
Compromise requirespossibly letting the wrongthing happen. Te mainreasons compromise is such adicult political goal centersaround electoral incentives
and a negative view the publichas o being weak on values.
Te politicians who runour system want to keep their
jobs, just like anyone else,and so things that have largeelectoral benet or harmare to be strongly sought oravoided.
Let us look at an example.
It is easier to get thingsdone when ones party holdsmajority in both houses oCongress and the presidencyand voters want things to getdone. I something happensthrough bipartisan eort,
however, or happens whileanother party is in control,the majority might get creditor it, and that would not helpout minority party members.
In this scenario, littlegetting done is politicallyattractive as it makesthe majority party seemincompetent. Tusly, theminority party might cometo power in the next election.Assuming one accepts the
logic presented here, itbecomes electorally attractiveto be obstructionist whileout o power and then orcea program through when therequisite majority is attained.
Possibly more damagingto compromise thanmy simplistic sketch oAmerican politics, however,
is the attitude the generalpopulation has towardscompromise. Let me askyou a question directly, dearreaders: Would you workagainst your values? I meanyour core tenets and belies.
In politics, there is no littlematter. Almost every issuehas important, value-ladenconsiderations. I there isan issue where you thinkallowing one agreement orthe other is a slight matter,someone will be willing toexplain why this is impossiblein their particular issue area.
For compromise to work,one not only has to be wil lingto allow the wrong thing
to happen, but to allow anoutcome against their valuesand belies, they must workto make it happen. So Iask again, would you workagainst you values? Surelycompromise cant happeneverywhere, but where do wedraw the line?
By Zach OrrisonConservative Columnist
I its not a tornado, whatis it?
Back in March 2010,the Patient Protection and
Aordable Care Act waspassed, but not withoutdebate. It was heralded as oneo the most historic pieces olegislation in recent times. Itwas, and it will continue to bea historic piece o law.
Health care costs were andcontinue to be high. However,this law might not makethem as low as the presidentand democrats in Congressexpected them to be. Te
amount o out-o-pocketmaximum (delayed until2015) is one primary exampleo what coverage underObamacare will truly cost.
Tis maximum is the mostan individual pays or healthinsurance until their coveragebegins to pay a percentage omeical costs. Tis percentage
depends on the individualinsurance plan. Dependingon a amily or individualsincome, this maximum hasthe potential to put a hugedent in their budget.
But, lets go back to why
I chose to use the wordunnel in the title.Te unnel I am speaking
o is the timerame o thisbill. It is a very short amounto time or the government toassume the role much similarto a private company oeringinsurance. Te private markethas been working years andyears to improve the qualityand care a health plan canoer. Some ideas work and
some ail thats the reality.Te government began
to scramble just three shortyears ago on how to improvesomething the private markethas been working on oryears. Individuals can beginenrolling or coverage on Oct.1, and the odd thing is, a lot opeople are unaware o that. It
seems unrealistic to think thegovernment can deal with theissues the insurance industrytakes on in the amount otime they have in an ecient,timely manner.
People can keep the
insurance they have now andpay penalties, as many haveheard. However, the clock isticking or the government togure out how all o this willbe unded and what the truecosts will be.

Breaking down some basic fashion questionsBy Mary Beth Gremillion
Fashion Columnist
Te change in weathermeans its time to whip outyour all wardrobes. But withevery wardrobe, there areashion dos and donts. Mostpeople like to throw regardor these rules to the crisp allwind but sometimes thats
just not OK.I its a sunny day in
October and maybe you
shouldnt grab your whiteshorts, sandals and toss ona sweater. Tey dont mix.Some o the most basic rulesstump people though. Is itOK to wear white aer LaborDay? Can you mix blackand brown? Are sweatpantsacceptable outside o yourliving room? Ugg boots?What about oversizedsweaters? And leggingsOh, leggings.
Dont be overwhelmed Im here to help. Here aresome answers to these basicashion questions.
1. White aer LaborDay: Everyone assumes theholiday outlaws the colorwhite completely. But thosewhite t-shirts and whitetennis shoes are ne. Tisrule applies to more abricthan the actual color. Duringthe summer you wore your
avorite white linen dressor avorite white shorts allthe time. As it gets colderthat ouncy white skirt isntworking too well in chillyOctober mornings. Its time
to put away those adorable
strappy sandals or whitewedges you wore to weddingsand barbecues. But you canstill wear white in the winter.Its called Winter White andit also applies to abric. Iyou have a white wool coat,wear that! Or be super likethe ladies o Hollywood andwear a white suit! But i yourewearing white shorts now, Isay change them out or blue
jeans, and as it gets colder
add tights and boots.2. Mixing black and brown:
Some say never to mix thetwo, but it all depends onthe brown. I the brown istoo dark and then pairedwith black, it looks like youcouldnt see and picked it upthinking it was black. But pairthose beautiul light brownboots or that oak colored beltwith a black dress or blackpants and you have yoursel a
nice outt.3. Sweatpants: Tese are
common components orcollege student wardrobes. Ibelieve sweatpants are a badrepresentation o the studentyou are. I personally ownseveral pairs o sweatpants.But I keep them at home.When I arrive to class I wantto show to my proessor thatI am a capable student whois ready to learn. Plus, when
you do nally leave thisbubble called college and gointo the real world, you cantwear sweatpants to work.You might as well get into thehabit now.
4. Ugg boots: Oh Ugg
boots. I have a love/haterelationship with them. Teyare indeed ugly, but oh socomortable. Teir uycushioning makes them greator traveling, but dont pairthem with sweat pants. Tats
just too much in one outt.Nowadays everyone has theseadorable leather boots so whynot wear those instead?
5. Oversized sweaters:I you happen to be with
riends when you shop andthe question Is this a shirtor a dress? comes up... Itsalways a shirt and should beworn with pants. I its iyand the shirt can be called atunic, then wear leggings aslong as the shirt passes yourbutt. Your leggings may lookopaque in your dark room,but when the sun is shining,your leggings become verysee throughwhich leads me
to my nal ashion rule.6. Leggings: No. Stop
wearing them like theyrepants. o channel Dr. Seuss:You cannot wear them todinner, no matter i yourethick or thinner. You cannotwear them to class, youcannot wear them, theydont support your ... butt.You cannot wear them at themall, you cannot wear themat ALL! Te outt made o
a t-shirt, leggings and bootsneeds to retire. You are betterthan this. I know you are.
So there they are. I hardlycovered all o the rules, buthere are several which can
hopeully change how you
think about dressing in themorning. While some rulesshould remain, others shouldbe broken. So take risks andbe ashionable in whateveryou do.
