Next Tuesday at 8 p.m., con-
servative star Sen. Mike Lee will
address students at the Roche
Sports Complex.
Lee is quickly becoming
one oI the most infuential oI
the conservatives in Congress.
Last month, he was appointed
chairman oI the Senate Steering
Committee, inheriting the posi-
tion Irom Sen. Pat Toomey.
'Mike Lee is a knowledge-
able and principled movement
conservative, and he has done
a terrifc job as vice chairman
oI the Steering Committee this
Congress, said Toomey, in a
press release. 'I`m pleased to
hand the gavel to him. I look Ior-
ward to continuing to work with
Mike, and my colleagues, to ad-
vance innovative conservative
ideas that help create jobs and
grow the economy.
A Iervent admirer oI Hills-
dale College, Lee is a passionate
deIender oI America`s Iound-
ing principles, the rule oI law,
and the endurance oI America
as a Iree republic. He has spo-
ken several times at the Allan P.
Kirby Center Ior Constitutional
Studies in Washington, D.C., but
this will be his frst visit to Hills-
dale`s Michigan campus.
Lee has most recently joined
Iorces with Republican Sen.
Marco Rubio to advocate a pro-
Iamily, pro-growth tax plan.
'Perhaps no Iunction oI the
U.S. government is more anti-
quated and dysIunctional than
its tax system, Lee and Rubio
wrote in an op-ed published
by the Wall Street Journal last
month. 'Our reIorms seek to
simpliIy the structure and lower
rates. How? By consolidating
the many existing income tax
brackets into two simple brack-
ets 15 and 30 and
eliminating or reIorming de-
ductions, especially those that
disproportionately beneft the
privileged Iew at everyone else`s
expense.
Lee ousted seasoned Repub-
lican Sen. Bob Bennett Irom oI-
fce in 2010 as one oI the frst
successIul tea party candidates.
Utah`s 16th Senator took oI-
fce just three years ago, but has
quickly earned a reputation as
a conservative frebrand, oIten
working with conservative Re-
publican Sens. Ted Cruz, Rand
Paul, and Rubio.
Staunchly principled, he has
strongly advocated against Iund-
ing the AIIordable Care Act,
standing with Cruz during his
flibuster last Iall.
'I am particularly honored
to be standing side by side with
my Iriend and colleague Sena-
tor Mike Lee Irom Utah, Cruz
said at the outset oI the evening.
'Senator Lee has shown vision-
ary leadership in standing and
taking the mantle oI leading the
eIIort to deIund ObamaCare and
to challenge this train wreck oI
a law, and Senator Lee has been
repaid at times with vilifcation
Irom oIfcial Washington.

I
n 1989, when student Erik Prince oI Hol-
land, Michigan moved in across the street
Irom ProIessor oI Religion Don Westblade,
he and his wiIe mistakenly believed Prince was a
wealthy European descending Irom royalty. Not a
bad guess.
Prince would become a private military king.
But beIore his rise to Iounder oI billion-dollar pri-
vate security contractor organization Blackwater,
Prince was a Hillsdale student.
He frst attended the Naval Academy, but soon
began considering other academic paths. The Dep-
uty Commandant oI the Academy said iI he leIt he
would amount to nothing.
'Having to go to class at the Academy and hav-
ing to be kind oI on guard Irom the statist nonsense
that was coming Irom some oI the proIessors, it
was nice to go to Hillsdale and be able to listen,
relax, and not Ieel like I had to argue, Prince said
in an exclusive Collegian interview this month.
In his book, 'Civilian Warriors: The Inside Story
oI Blackwater and the Unsung Heroes oI the War
on Terror, Prince writes, 'I leIt the antics oI An-
napolis aIter three semesters and looked to get back
to a serious academic path. I chose Hillsdale Col-

Ten members oI the Ioot-
ball team were suspended last
week.
Nine active players and one
player oII the roster were sus-
pended Ior violating school
and team rules. Seven oI the
active players are serving a
two-game suspension, which
included the Oct. 11 game
against Ohio Dominican and
the game this Saturday against
Ashland. The other two mem-
bers are suspended indefnitely.
'When the Iailures are se-
rious, then the harm must be
redressed, and commitments
must be made Ior the Iuture,
President Larry Arnn said
Wednesday in an email. 'This
particular one is very serious.
As we work such things out,
we involve parents, counsel-
lors, Iaculty, coaches--whoever
can help to protect and guide
the students in question.
The 10 Iootball players vio-
lated not only team policies
but college policies, and they
will be held accountable like
any non-athlete, Dean oI Men
Aaron Petersen said.
'Any team consequences
are in addition to any conse-
quences that come Irom our oI-
fce, Petersen said.
The ramifcations Ior violat-
ing school policy can include
measures such as scholarship
removal, community service,
social probations, academic
probation, suspensions, or ex-
pulsions.
Petersen said that the details
oI these students` punishments
are confdential.
He Iurther explained that
in cases oI discipline that are
more serious, deans involve
student`s parents in a partner-
ship to help young men and
women make things right, as
well as clergy and health pro-
Iessionals when appropriate.
'It can be disappointing
when students make mistakes,
but one oI the blessings oI
working at Hillsdale is the abil-
ity to work with our students,
their Iamilies, and the campus
community so that they can
learn and grow Irom their mis-
takes, Petersen said.
As Ior the Iootball team,
head Iootball coach Keith Ot-
terbein said the team is moving
Iorward and preparing Ior the
home game this Saturday.
'Any time you lose guys
that play it aIIects your Ioot-
ball team, Otterbein said.
'We`re going to play the guys
that are there. Whether it`s in-
jury, whether it`s suspension,
this is the team we`re coach-
ing. And so as the investigation
concludes we`ll see where that
leads us.

Kicked out of Russia: David Satter to speak today
When the Russian govern-
ment tried to expel him in 1979
Ior 'being a hooligan, the
American and British embas-
sies threatened to oust two So-
viet correspondents read that,
intelligence agents Irom the
West. David Satter got to stay, at
least that time.
'I tried to give them every
reason to regret that decision,
he later said.
Satter is Hillsdale College`s
Pulliam Fellow this semester,
chosen partly because oI his ca-
reer as a Moscow correspondent
Ior the Financial Times and part-
ly because oI the intrigue that
comes with being the frst Amer-
ican journalist banned Irom Rus-
sia since the Cold War.
He has written several op-eds
about Russia Ior The Wall Street
Journal, one oI which caught the
eye oI Director oI the Dow Jour-
nalism Program John Miller.
'You are here largely because
oI the thing you wrote in Janu-
ary, Miller told Satter when the
Chicago native visited a Hills-
dale journalism class earlier this
week.
Satter will deliver a public
lecture about 'Russia`s looming
crisis and his personal perspec-
tive oI Putin`s regime today at 8
p.m. in Markel Auditorium.
During his graduate studies at
OxIord University, the Rhodes
scholar and aspiring journalist
ventured to Russia. It was 1969
more than two decades be-
Iore the Soviet Union would Iall
when he frst set Ioot in the
country that he would visit doz-
ens oI times during his liIe.
'The core diIIerence there
is in the attitude toward the in-
dividual, he said. 'For all our
Iaults here in the U.S., the soci-
ety and system is based on the
notion that the individual has
inherent value. In Russia, rights,
personality, and Iate are all sub-
ordinated to the state.
Satter returned to the Red
Empire in 1976, and worked
in Moscow as a Ioreign corre-
spondent until 1982. While most
Ioreign correspondents change
posts Irequently, Satter stayed
there on a long-term assignment,
working with a linguist tutor ev-
ery day.
'My mission was a little bit
diIIerent. It was really to un-
derstand. I didn`t approach my
job in a purely journalistic Iash-
ion, he said. 'I became Iairly
well-known among people, and
I decided it was time to write a
book.
But beIore he could fnish the
novel an insider view oI total-
itarian Russia Satter`s moth-
er-in-law passed away unexpect-
edly, and he moved to France.
Years later, Satter spent six
days in the Library oI Congress
scouring fve years` worth oI in-
Iormation, notes, and ideas Ior
his book.
'I realized in that moment
that the manuscripts were utterly
unusable, Satter said. 'But that
moment was the beginning oI
the creation oI something that
would work.
Satter recast the book as
an insider perspective on the
decline and Iall oI the Soviet
Union. He pitched his idea to
Reader`s Digest, which accepted
the proposal and sent him back
to Russia, where he began work-
ing as an academic writer.
Since then, Satter has pub-
lished three books and is
working on a Iourth, 'The
Less You Know the Better You
Sleep, in Hillsdale College`s
Mossey Library during his ten-
ure as a visiting proIessor. Sat-
ter also teaches modern Russian
history at Johns Hopkins Uni-
versity.
Hillsdale students in his class,
a one-credit nonfction-writing
course, said that Satter shares
stories about his unusual back-
ground and seems eager to give
advice on how they can improve
as writers. The class Iocuses on
memoir writing, editorial jour-
nalism, and Ieature writing.
'I`m really enjoying the
class.it`s really been interest-
ing to read his pieces, said se-
nior Jenna Adamson, an English
and French double major. 'He
really encourages us to think
about writing an editorial about
a politically-correct notion in the
culture that everyone believes
without questioning. That`s a
good way to grab people`s atten-
tion as a young writer because it
shows a level oI sophistication.
AIter fnishing his Iellowship
at Hillsdale with the Dow Jour-
nalism Program, Satter plans to
return to London and continue
working on his book. And al-
though the Russian government
has made it clear that he`s not
welcome in the country, Satter
continues to believe that he will
go back again someday.
'Right now I`m banned,
but.I think the day will come
|when I can| return to Russia,
Satter said quietly. 'A moment
comes when people get tired oI
authoritative leaders, especially
when they`re corrupt and crimi-
nal. I`m attached to it in a crazy
way a big part oI my liIe is
there. Sooner or later, I`ll get
back.

Click. Delete. Repeat.
Your student email inbox is
Iull oI generic campus messag-
es. Most are probably deleted
beIore being read. Some linger
in the inbox Ior months, un-
opened and disregarded. So how
is a student group to get out its
message?
The answer is social media,
said senior Nathan Brand, the
social media coordinator Ior the
campus chapter oI Young Amer-
ica`s Foundation. YAF`s videos
have garnered national attention
in the past, its Facebook events
are well-attended, and its Twit-
ter account has more than 300
Iollowers.
'We`re Hillsdale College,
Brand said, 'We`re conserva-
tive. There are people in the
Facebook and Twitter-spheres
who love both oI those.
Brand`s social media eIIorts
are largely campus-specifc, us-
ing Hillsdale`s tightly-knit com-
munity to his advantage online.
Event-oriented photo albums
on Facebook allow him to tag
members oI YAF Irom all over
campus and reach greater audi-
ences.
'II you`re able to tap into the
diIIerent Iriend groups, you`ll
tap into most oI campus, Brand
said,
Sam Holdeman, president oI
the Hillsdale College Repub-
licans, has a diIIerent outlook.
The group has recently added
an Instagram account to its so-
cial media roster, to complement
Facebook and Twitter. He views
social media as a more personal,
more convenient way oI com-
munication than email.
'I`d like to use social media
as a secondary way oI contact-
ing people, Holdeman said.
'|Followers| just happen across
a reminder that the College Re-
publicans are doing something.
We hope to help get them in-
volved.
But social media has its
limitations. AIter all, emails are
guaranteed to arrive in their re-
spective inboxes. Social media`s
algorithms make it less sure.
'Social media is kind oI hit or
miss, Holdeman said. 'I think
the emails are more eIIective.
Jack Butler, president oI the
Gadfy Group, sees social media
as a necessary evil. The group
has a Facebook page, a YouTube
account, and a blog.
'What the group is doing in
real liIe is the important thing,
Butler said.
The group`s Facebook page,
run primarily by Butler, shares
articles, campus events, and
YouTube videos oI its own
events. The blog has proven a
bit more diIfcult to operate suc-
cessIully.
'It`s easy, with social media,
to communicate small, digest-
ible pieces oI inIormation, But-
ler said. 'But a blog is a venue
Ior extended mental perambula-
tion.
Whether contending with a
deluge oI emails or a dearth oI
time, social media helps campus
groups connect with the student
body in an immediate way. In-
volvement is the end game, not
likes` or shares.`
'The goal oI social media,
Butler said, 'is to get people oII
social media.

Assistant ProIessor oI Biolo-
gy Silas Johnson, a new proIes-
sor at Hillsdale, is teaching the
biology department`s virology
course this year.
Johnson, a Hillsdale alum-
nus, recently completed his
postdoctoral research at the
University oI Michigan Medi-
cal School, during which time
he studied retroviruses. This
research has given Johnson a
cutting-edge perspective on the
recent advances in the felds
oI microbiology and virology.
Coupled with his teaching expe-
rience at the Air Force Academy
in Colorado, Johnson`s back-
ground makes him a great ft Ior
teaching virology at Hillsdale.
The virology course, oIIered
by the biology department every
other Iall, oIIers students an op-
portunity to Iocus specifcally
on the mechanisms oI viruses
and to delve into the signifcant
real-world impact oI viruses.
'I`m interested in covering
the basic cellular and molecu-
lar biology oI virus replication.
That`s been our major Iocus,
Johnson said. 'Understanding
that allows us to understand
how viruses direct the host, how
they cause disease, how the host
responds to the virus inIection,
and that`s very important.
Class time consists oI some
lecture, but is heavily discus-
sion-based. The small class set-
ting with only eight students
also makes it easier to discuss
the material presented in the
textbook. According to students,
the virology course has been a
helpIul way to explore this spe-
cifc feld oI microbiology.
'He presents the inIormation
well and in an easy to under-
stand way, senior Amber Hunt
said. 'This course has tied a lot
oI my other biology classes to-
gether very well.
Senior Annie Teigen, another
virology student, has enjoyed
the real-world applications oI
the course content.
'It is interesting to take some-
thing very classroom-based and
apply it to real liIe, she said.
Although there is currently
no lab section Ior this class,
there are plenty oI opportuni-
ties Ior hands-on learning. In
addition to discussion and lec-
ture, the class has made concept
maps and organized pictures oI
viral processes, such as the reac-
tion oI the immune system to a
pathogen.
One unique Ieature oI the
class is the 'viropedia project,
in which each student researches
a specifc virus, and then com-
piles all the fndings into their
own class encyclopedia.
'It`s similar to Wikipedia,
and contains basic inIormation
about the basic biology oI the
viruses, Johnson said. 'My
plan is to then take that inIor-
mation and actually use it to
edit Wikipedia. This will allow
students to actually contribute
to knowledge that anyone can
access.
So Iar, students said they
have Iound this upper-level
class to be a challenging yet en-
joyable experience. Senior Han-
nah Russell noted that Johnson`s
teaching style helps to make
success in the class achievable.
'He covers a lot in class, but
covers it well. You get so im-
mersed in the material that you
can start to Iorget how challeng-
ing it is, she said. 'He brings
up real-liIe examples that make
it engaging and Iun. I would
highly recommend the class to
anyone interested in microbiol-
ogy.
Yesterday, Hillsdale Emer-
gency Action Response Team
went downtown to city hall to
receive training Irom the fre de-
partment in the areas oI natural
gas and carbon monoxide leaks
as well as power line saIety.
With recent events oI both a
gas leak and a down line earlier
this year, members see the in-
Iormation and training received
at the event as both helpIul and
benefcial to campus saIety.
'The purpose oI HEART
is that we are trying to train a
group oI people on campus who
can assist security.as well as
the local law management and
personnel to help restore order
iI something were to happen
on campus, HEART President
Kelly Tillotson said.
Associate Dean oI Men and
adviser oI HEART JeIIery Rog-
ers said that having many club
members involved in the com-
munity departments will allow
Ior the program to grow and
develop in the Iuture, enabling
the program to become more
specialized and more eIIective.
'We wanted to get to the
heart oI the matter, that`s why
it`s HEART, Rogers said.
Although a student-led club,
HEART does not rely solely on
its campus members and advi-
sors Ior advice and resources.
HEART looks to gain knowl-
edge and advice Irom local Hill-
sdale authorities such as the fre
department, police department,
and the local EMS.
'HEART`s other
goal is because the
college is such a big
part oI Hillsdale,
we want to make
sure we give back
to the community
that we work in, that
we study in, that we
play in, senior Re-
bekah Smith said.
'We are a huge part oI the com-
munity and we take up a bunch
oI their resources, so we thought
it would be a great way to help
on campus and oII campus.
HEART prides itselI on be-
ing a diverse group oI people
Irom all corners oI campus,
having members Irom almost
all the sports teams as well as
the Greek houses. As a student-
led group, HEART looks toward
the student body Ior support and
leadership.
'I Ieel like I know the peo-
ple better, I Ieel like I know the
campus better. Getting to work
with Director Whorley and
ChieI Rogers is great. They are
just a Iountain oI knowledge. I
defnitely Ieel like I am better
prepared. II there were ever an
emergency, I would be more
conI i dent
to step in
and help
instead oI
Ieeling like
I would
be a hin-
d r a n c e ,
Smith said.
A l -
t h o u g h
many oI
the members oI HEART aspire
to work either in the medical
felds or law enIorcement aIter
graduating, the club invites any-
one interested to join.
'The people we want are stu-
dents who have a desire to help
, Tilloston said. 'II you want
to learn how to be an eIIective
leader, especially in emergency
situations. That`s really what we
are looking Ior: an eagerness to
learn and an eagerness to lead.
By 2015, the Hillsdale Com-
munity Foundation aims to have
an application rate oI 60 percent
oI students applying to any Iorm
oI post-secondary education.
Hillsdale Community Career
Access Planning works with
area schools to help students in
the application process and in
applying Ior the FAFSA. HC-
CAP is now on campus as a
GOAL program, looking Ior
current college students to help
potential students in the college
application process.
The new GOAL program`s
coordinator, senior Sarah
Schumacher, said there`s al-
ready been some level oI suc-
cess in the program.
'There`s very low numbers
oI students in the community
oI kids who pursue any Iorm
oI post-secondary education,
she said. 'The need Ior that and
the need Ior mentors and tutors,
they were really encouraged to
talk to us.
HCCAP Coordinator Lynn
Burkett said Hillsdale College
Director oI External Relations
Ior Athletics JeII Lantis encour-
aged them to contact the col-
lege`s GOAL program about the
need Ior volunteers.
'HCCAP had a unique be-
ginning, GOAL Program Di-
rector Jackie Frenkel said. 'The
community came to us and said,
We have this need, can you
meet it?` And we said sure, and
then we Iound Sarah. Her work
in building the program so Iar
is impressive, to say the least.
She`s setting it up Ior tremen-
dous growth and impact in the
Iuture.
Burkett said the post-second-
ary education they`re encourag-
ing includes any Iorm oI trade
school, college, or certifcate
program.
'It`s a relatively new thing.
I`ve only been on the job two
years in November, Burkett
said. 'When I started, that`s
basically when it came to be. It
was in the development stages
when I came on board. We`ve
seen college enrollment grow
since we started the program.
On Monday, HCCAP worked
at a booth at the local college
Iair, and will be working in the
community high schools during
college application week in No-
vember.
'In the spring, last year, we
helped with decision day, which
was a pretty big event, Schum-
acher said. 'Students announced
what they`re doing, where
they`re going to college. It cre-
ated awareness in the whole
school as well, so that younger
students could get excited about
going to college, when it`s their
chance to do that.
College application week is
Nov. 3-7, and HCCAP volun-
teers will be working in nine
schools to help students in the
application process.
'What we`re trying to do is
reach out to the certain percent-
age who don`t think they could
go to college or don`t think they
could aIIord it, Burkett said.
'And once that door opens, we
hope they think, Well, maybe I
can do it,` or Maybe I can aI-
Iord it.`

Hillsdale College trustee
JeII Coors, president and CEO
oI Golden Technologies Com-
pany Inc., was honored with the
Thomas A. Roe Award Irom the
State Policy Network at their an-
nual meeting. At a Iormal dinner
in Denver, in Iront oI a crowd oI
over 900 SPN aIfliates rep-
resentatives Irom 48 state insti-
tutions and over 60 partner SPN
organizations SPN awarded
Coors with the honor.
'He is a champion and exem-
plar oI the virtue oI selI-reliance,
yet his eyes and heart are always
open to lend a hand to an under-
dog struggling to gain indepen-
dence, SPN President Tracie
Sharp said. 'He is a steadIast de-
Iender oI equal economic oppor-
tunity Ior all.
The Roe Award, named aIter
the late Thomas A. Roe Jr., Iound-
er oI SPN, is awarded annually to
an individual or individuals in the
state public policy movement ad-
vancing Iree market philosophy at
the state level.
'He |Roe| saw the value oI an
intellectually rigorous policy cen-
ter in each state a place where
Ireedom lovers would shape out-
comes, SPN Vice President oI
Strategy Lynn Harsh said. 'In
1989, a mere handIul oI people
said yes,` and gathered in a room
together to expand their infuence.
Thanks to Tom`s Ioresight and
determination, more than 900 oI
us gathered this year in Denver at
SPN`s 22nd annual meeting.
'A long time ago, he |Coors|
invited a whole bunch oI people
who worked in the conservative
movement - including me - to
come to Colorado Springs, put us
all up, and got us all talking about
how we could make strategic
changes, President Larry Arnn
said. 'He put on a program...and
all oI that was just to try to make
us all better. And he`s been doing
things like that Iorever, and it`s
one oI many reasons he deserves
this award.
Previous award recipients
have included Joe Lehman oI the
Mackinac Center Ior Public Poli-
cy, Grover Norquist oI Americans
Ior Tax ReIorm, Kevin Gentry oI
the Charles G. Koch Charitable
Foundation, and many other liber-
ty-advancing individuals.
In his capacity as a Hillsdale
College trustee, Coors also act-
ed as a co-chair Ior Hillsdale`s
Founders Campaign, the capi-
tal campaign started in the early
2000s to raise $400 million Ior the
school, and held this position Ior
other capital campaigns as well.
'JeII Coors has been a chair-
man oI every capital campaign
in the modern history oI Hills-
dale College including the cur-
rent one, Arnn said. 'He is kind
and selI-eIIacing and talented and
tireless.
Coors has been a Hillsdale
College trustee since 1985, just
one oI the many positions he has
held that show his dedication to
spreading the philosophy oI Iree-
dom and Iree markets.
'When everything is taken
care oI by government, the spirit
oI voluntary commitment is lost,
Coors said in a 1993 issue oI Im-
primis discussing corporate stew-
ardship.
He continued later in the piece:
'Give privately, not seeking rec-
ognition Ior your work; it is Ior
others` beneft, not your own, that
you are giving.
It is because oI this principle
identifed by Coors so many years
ago that Coors was awarded the
Roe Award this year. His quiet,
continual support oI the greater
good without seeking praises was
recognized and received a well-
deserved standing ovation.

Walk anywhere on Hillsdale
College`s campus, and you will
fnd students upon students with
their noses buried in books.
While everyone loves to com-
plain about the vast amounts oI
reading assigned within Hills-
dale`s rigorous core curriculum,
the reading that students do out-
side oI their normal coursework
is not publicized nearly as oIten.
Recently, two campus book
clubs have Iormed to enrich stu-
dents` educations with material
that is not commonly covered
in a classroom setting. One, led
by seniors Devin Creed and Da-
vid Roach, Iocuses on American
intellectual conservatism. As-
sistant ProIessor oI Economics
Michael Clark leads the other,
which encourages students to
study how work and economics
tie into Christianity.
The frst oI the two book dis-
cussion groups is a branch oI a
new campus club called The
Symposium, which fnds its
roots in the Intercollegiate Stud-
ies Institute. ISI aims to train
young leaders through its vari-
ous conIerences and through the
Iunds they provide groups like
The Symposium to use toward
student book discussions.
'We want to educate the cam-
pus about the side oI American
conservatism that we don`t re-
ally hear about and don`t really
see here, Creed said.
This semester, Creed, Roach,
and about 15 other students
are working their way through
Robert Nisbet`s 'The Quest Ior
Community, meeting once a
week to discuss a chapter oI the
book. Though the location oI the
discussion varies, meetings take
place at 3 p.m. on Sunday aI-
ternoons and have been entirely
student-led so Iar.
'The Quest Ior Community
primarily Iocuses on humans` in-
herent need Ior a sense oI com-
munity and the harmIul eIIects
oI turning to government to sat-
isIy that need. The book is pub-
lished by ISI, enabling the insti-
tute to provide Iree copies oI the
text Ior student discussions at
schools like Hillsdale.
Student Federation oIfcially
approved The Symposium just
weeks ago, and its Iaculty advi-
sor is Assistant ProIessor oI His-
tory Matthew Gaetano. At the
end oI the book group, there will
be a more Iormal dinner with a
guest speaker to give closing re-
marks.
Clark`s book club also Iound
its roots in a national group. AI-
ter attending a conIerence Ior
The Institute Ior Faith, Work,
and Economics this summer,
Clark knew he wanted to start a
similar discussion on Hillsdale`s
campus.
The group has Iour total meet-
ings at various locations this
semester, and Clark will recog-
nize outstanding participants at
the end oI the year. With Iunds
provided by IFWE, Clark is
able to provide Iood at meetings
and copies oI Hugh Whelchel`s
'How Then Should We Work
Ior the students.
The book Iocuses on how
one`s work liIe can tie into the
betterment oI the community
through basic economic prin-
ciples and personal Iaith.
'It`s not really an edgy` in-
terpretation our Iocus is real-
ly a basic message oI you mat-
ter, service matters, your work
can matter towards a greater
cause. You don`t have to view
it, no matter what it is, as point-
less,` Clark said.
Kadeem Noray, a senior tri-
ple-major in physics, economics,
and math, is one oI the 15 stu-
dents accepted into the program.
'It`s insightIul to hear
thoughts oI non-econ majors on
economic topics it is all too
easy to become very narrowed
in one feld and miss out on the
perspectives oI those outside the
feld, Noray said.
Clark is hopeIul that the book
discussion will encourage stu-
dents to spread the studied ma-
terial within the community oI
Hillsdale and beyond. During
the last meeting, he will discuss
possible plans oI action and ask
how the students think they can
apply the message to their own
lives.
Though both oI the book
clubs are new to campus, they
are already making great prog-
ress in opening discussions
among students in areas oI study
that might not show up on their
class schedules.
During college, students aim
to network in order to fnd their
dream jobs. Career Services is
pursuing that mission through
their new platIorm, Handshake.
Created by college students,
Handshake aims to provide a
simple-to-use interIace, unlike
many career-planning sites,
according to Handshake Busi-
ness Development Lead David
Shull.
Career Services had this
problem with Charger Connect,
their previous platIorm.
'The Ieedback we received
Irom students was the user in-
terIace was not Iriendly and
clunky, Executive Director oI
Career Services Michael Mur-
ray said.
Handshake, on the other
hand, is clean and intuitive, ac-
cording to Internship Program
Coordinator Courtney Noonan.
'II you can use Facebook,
you can use Handshake, Noon-
an said. 'It`s similar to the other
platIorms students are already
using.
Handshake also brings new
and improved Ieatures.
Students can research and
Iollow companies, and the more
complete students` profles are,
the better recommended job and
internship results will appear,
even Irom businesses specif-
cally interested in Hillsdale stu-
dents, according to Murray.
Opportunities to apply Ior
jobs with your profle, set up
meetings with the Iull-time
staII, and upload your resume
to the website, where Student
AIIairs Mentors can look over
them and provide Ieedback, are
also available, according to se-
nior Student Director oI SAMs
Leah Bernhardson.
Handshake will also allow
Career Services staII to input
inIormation Irom meetings with
students, tailor emails to those
with particular interests, create
surveys to better receive Ieed-
back Irom students, and publish
events Ior which students can
register, according to Noonan.
Career Services is planning
to upload their guides on career
planning and resume building
to Handshake too.
The staII is especially eager
about Handshake`s mobile ap-
plication.
'The last platIorm, students
had to use the web, and scroll-
ing on the web on your phone
is kind oI clunky, Noonan said.
'Everybody wants to use an app
now.
'It`s really handy Ior me to
confrm appointments or when
attending events, Bernhardson
said.
Three years ago when Ben
Christensen, Garrett Lord, and
Shull, then students at Michi-
gan Technological University,
attended a career advisor meet-
ing, they realized the soItware
being used was not meeting the
needs oI students. The idea oI
Handshake was born.
Teaming together, they de-
signed a user-Iriendly soItware.
Having graduated in May,
these students have imple-
mented Handshake into fve in-
stitutions and are continuing to
grow partnerships with career
websites that will Ieed more job
opportunities onto the site.
'We`ve been blown away by
the support, Shull said.
The goal oI Handshake is to
help students fnd their dream
job.
Shull said that students he
knew were interested in work-
ing Ior bigger companies like
Apple and Google, but since
Michigan Tech is a smaller
school, these businesses didn`t
visit the campus.
'Regardless oI what size
campus you go to, you can con-
nect with businesses that can`t
come to campus physically,
Shull said.
According to Shull, relation-
ships are key. Handshake repre-
sentative Shull visited the Ca-
reer Services` Career Carnival
earlier this year.
Having the opportunity to
interact with students serves as
a constant reminder to serve,
Shull said.
Students shared their Iuture
goals at the carnival, and Shull
said Handshake uses this inIor-
mation to better assist students.
Handshake is also working
in close communication with
the schools Ior which it pro-
vides its soItware.
'Hillsdale has a really close
relationship with the creators oI
Handshake, so anytime we need
help doing something or need to
learn a Ieature, they are always
there with support, Bernhard-
son said.
Career Services encourages
students to use this resource.
'The more students that use
it, the better we`ll be able to en-
gage and improve it, Noonan
said. 'It`s built by students Ior
students.

Ronna Romney McDaniel,
Michigan Republican National
Committeewoman, will speak at
7 p.m. on Monday in Lane 125.
'She`s got massive expe-
rience in politics and she`s a
committed Republican, Col-
lege Republicans president Sam
Holdeman said. 'I hope her
speech is a rallying cry Ior stu-
dents that shocks people out oI
their tendency to support third
party candidates. Third parties
honestly never win and we need
a win in November.
McDaniel is the niece oI
2012 Republican presidential
nominee Mitt Romney. Her
speech, entitled 'Why Repub-
licans Must Win in 2014, will
address important political is-
sues oI the day and the conse-

Young Americans Ior Freedom

'Ronna Romney has great
insight into the election and
valuable knowledge that she can
share with Hillsdale students,
YAF senior adviser Nathan
Brand said. 'She`s going to lay
out what`s at stake in this elec-
tion. II Republicans don`t get

At 8 p.m. next Tuesday, Oct.
21, students are Iaced with a
choice oI how to spend the last
night beIore Iall break begins
(besides studying Ior their last
midterms, oI course). In the Dow
Center Rooms A&B, Gregory
WolIe conservative author,
Hillsdale College graduate,
Iounder and editor oI Image, a
national journal oI art, Iaith, and
mystery will be speaking on
'Conservatism and the Arts: A
Lover`s Quarrel. In the Roche
Sports Complex, Sen. Mike Lee
Irom Utah will be speaking on.
something unspecifed.
We`re all lucky to attend a
school that can attract such il-
lustrious speakers to address the
student body; however, it`s not
ideal to have the events confict
with each other. No oIIense to
Sen. Lee, but in the unIortunate
circumstances we`re presented
with, I urge students to attend
WolIe`s lecture on Tuesday night.
WolIe is one oI Hillsdale Col-
lege`s most infuential graduates,
called 'one oI the most incisive
and persuasive voices oI our gen-
eration by celebrated author Rob
Hansen. He`s fnally being recog-
nized by his alma mater as part oI
a two-day celebration Ior the 25th
anniversary oI Image, the literary
journal he Iounded and publishes.
A conservative who studied
under Russell Kirk when he at-
tended Hillsdale, WolIe gradu-
ated and chose to spend his en-
ergies Ior the conservative cause
not as a culture warrior or policy
wonk but by working to create a
place in culture Ior religious ex-
pression and true conservative
sentiment Iree Irom ideology.
'The rise oI extreme partisan-
ship, abstract ideologies, and ten-
dency Ior conservatives to preach
to the choir has created a land-
scape that has little to do with the
rich tradition oI conservatism I
learned at Hillsdale, WolIe said
in my interview with him. (B1)
This Iocus on art and Iaith is
not to denigrate the importance oI
political action. Rather, it stems
Irom a Iuller understanding oI
where politics come Irom. As An-
drew Breitbart was well known
Ior noting, 'politics is down-
stream Irom culture. This is the
same insight that leads me to en-
courage all my Iellow students to
learn Irom what WolIe has to say
as a man at the Iore oI Christian
art and literature. The best way,
and perhaps the only way, to truly
'win in politics is to make a cul-
ture hospitable to conservative
ideas. The law may teach, but art
teaches better it has a wider
reach, a longer-lasting impact,
and a deeper lesson. The lessons
oI art are complex and challeng-
ing, but they are what sustain the
true political and social change,
Iar upstream Irom Washington.
In addition, Hillsdale oIten
plays host to politicians and com-
mentators. In comparison to the
billows oI punditry our campus
and the Kirby Center see regular-
ly, an opportunity to hear a lead-
ing fgure in the world oI conser-
vative Christian art is a breath oI
Iresh air.
The entire Image celebration
is an opportunity to indulge. Hus-
band and wiIe Erin McGraw and
Andrew Hudgins are hugely cele-
brated writers, and a Iree concert
Irom Over the Rhine on Monday
night should be taken advantage
oI. The two-day event is Iull oI
rare opportunities to meet and
learn Irom some huge cultural
names; it would be a shame Ior
anyone to miss.

In news that must have leIt
my Iriends at the New York Post
never mind the gang at 'The
Daily Show with a renewed
confdence that ours is a just and
benefcent God, the White House
has been caught covering up a
scandal involving a Cartagena
hooker.
The phrase 'Cartagena hook-
er alone is a mellifuous giIt to
ink-stained wretches everywhere,
but the revelation that the White
House reassigned the alleged cli-
ent oI the aIorementioned Andean
call girl to the State Department`s
oIfce oI 'Global Women`s Is-
sues is the sort oI fourish Tom
WolIe or Chris Buckley wouldn`t
dare attempt as satire.
Let us back up Ior a moment.
Two years ago, the Secret Service
was humiliated in a terrible scan-
dal. Agents sent to prepare Ior
a presidential trip to Colombia
availed themselves oI the local
service industry, as it were. The
local cops were called in when
one agent reIused to compensate
a woman Ior services rendered,
contradicting ancient advice
about the oldest proIession: You
don`t pay Ior the sex; you pay
Ior the hooker to leave. Hats oII
to the Cartagena constabulary Ior
their diligence in enIorcing con-
tract rights. Ten agents lost their
jobs.
On April 23, 2012, then-White
House press secretary Jay Carney
said there were 'no specifc, cred-
ible allegations oI misconduct by
anyone on the White House ad-
vance team or the White House
staII.
'Nevertheless, Carney said,
'out oI due diligence, the White
House Counsel`s oIfce has con-
ducted a review ... (and) came
to the conclusion that there`s no
indication that any member oI
the White House advance team
engaged in any improper conduct
or behavior.
II the Washington Post`s ex-
haustive exclusive this week is
to believed, that was what ex-
perts would call a lie. Secret Ser-
vice investigators told the White
House that Jonathan Dach also
had too good a time in Cartagena.
Dach, then a Yale law student,
was a volunteer Ior the White
House advance team. The lead
investigator Ior the Department
oI Homeland Security which
oversees the Secret Service
says he was told 'to withhold and
alter certain inIormation in the
report oI investigation because it
was potentially embarrassing to
the administration.
One such piece oI inIormation
was that Dach 'was not charged
Ior additional guest as a beneft oI
Hilton Honor Member.
Membership has its privileges.
That guest, investigators
Iound, had advertised herselI
as a prostitute on the Internet,
complete with a photo oI herselI
scantily clad in Iront oI signs that
read, 'Summit oI the Americas.
Perhaps she was just a student oI
international diplomacy special-
izing in ameliorating the def-
ciencies oI soIt power?
The lead investigator and two
oI his aides say they were put on
administrative leave when they
questioned what they believed to
be a naked political cover-up.
II the allegations are true,
we`re leIt with this question:
Why did the White House go to
such lengths to conceal the event?
Dach broke no laws in Cartagena,
the alleged tryst took place in a
so-called 'tolerance zone where
prostitution is legal. Surely the
White House isn`t against toler-
ance.
There are two likely answers.
The frst is obvious and laid out
in the Post`s reporting. The White
House didn`t want a scandal in
an election year. The second an-
swer, also suggested by the re-
port, is that while Dach was an
inconsequential gnome in the
White House`s massive political
operation, Dach`s Iather, Leslie,
was a big donor to the Obama
campaign. A Iormer lobbyist
Ior Wal-Mart, Leslie Dach gave
$23,900 in 2008 and worked with
Michelle Obama`s 'Let`s Move!
campaign.
Neither answer excludes the
other, and both speak volumes
about this White House`s prob-
lems. The underlying scandal
is Iairly minor. But iI the White
House would IalsiIy records and
lie to the public about this, is it
really so hard to imagine that it
would deceive the public and
Congress about larger issues
like, say, Benghazi? (Just this
week, Iormer Obama Secretary
oI DeIense Leon Panetta told Fox
News` Bill O`Reilly that the inIa-
mous White House talking points
on the attack were essentially bo-
gus.)
But it also speaks to the seedy
way Obama talks about politics
generally. The president loves to
denounce a cynical system where
politics comes beIore the public
good. He rails about a system
where Iat cats live by a diIIerent
set oI rules than the little guy, and
money buys special treatment
and access. But the way he oper-
ates runs completely counter to
all that. Which is why the only
person to come out oI this scan-
dal in an honorable light is the
Cartagena hooker.

Mississippi, a Southern, Republican, Protestant state with
abstinence-only education mandated in public schools, suIIers
Irom the highest teenage pregnancy rates in the country. Lib-
erals love to parade this statistic, usually garnered Irom the
National Center Ior Health Statistics (2010), as evidence that
abstinence education has Iailed. Schools should teach teenag-
ers to use contraceptives instead, the argument goes, so that
young women can avoid dropping out oI high school with a
baby in arms and no husband. Teenagers will sleep around one
way or another, they shrug, so we should teach them how to do
it with minimal consequences.
Perhaps abstinence education has Iailed not because we
ought to give American youth over to the lusts oI their bod-
ies and have done with it, but because abstinence education
neglects the moral habits that IortiIy marriages and Iamilies.
Moral laws exist so that we can attain the good. Otherwise
they are subjective standards, imposed by personal belieI sys-
tems. Without recognition oI its intended good, abstinence
amounts to little more than a reIusal. Abstinence education
oIten suggests that teenagers, fush with hormones and bom-
barded with provocative images, words, and ideas, should
stare temptation in the eye and just say no. The ability to resist
bodily desires does indicate a certain strength oI will, but the
lack oI context collapses abstinence into Iutile resistance to a
Iorce oI nature with an arbitrary deadline aIter which we
may indulge ourselves Ireely. Youth pastors recount stories oI
students posing the question, 'How Iar can I go? Last month,
I heard oI a couple that decided to marry within months oI
their frst meeting, so that they could be together without liv-
ing in sin. Both oI these attitudes reveal an impoverished un-
derstanding oI the good that abstinence education is trying to
achieve.
We encourage teenagers to practice abstinence because it
protects the person Irom selfsh use. To accomplish that goal,
however, the practice oI abstinence must be rooted in love that
aIfrms the human person. People are creatures made by God
Ior their own sake, not Ior use as a means oI gaining emo-
tional or physical pleasure. How we love matters most when it
comes to acts that unite two bodies in one fesh and potentially
lead to the begetting oI new persons. II teenagers understood
how to love people, it would transIorm their selI-images as
well as their decisions about romance, Iriendship, and Iamily.
Leaving aside the question oI the government`s role in educa-
tion, we can acknowledge that what programs do exist should
make the best case possible Ior love and the moral habits that
spring Irom it, as these protect both individuals and society.
Imagine that one oI the teenage couples Irom Missis-
sippi had loved each other and themselves according to their
personhood. She dressed in a manner worthy oI respect. He
touched her only to aIfrm his aIIection without exciting lust.
They both ordered their thoughts towards willing the good Ior
each other. Singly and together, they behaved such that the
moment never arrived when they Iound themselves hidden in
the dark, with nothing between them and the brink but a shal-
low and refexive 'no.

Hillsdale College will be
one stop on a national cam-
paign tomorrow as Ronna
Romney, Republican candi-
date Ior U.S. Senate, will ad-
dress an audience at 3 p.m. in
Phillips Auditorium.
While on a tour oI col-
leges and universities in an
eIIort to build support Ior the
upcoming election, Romney
will speak on the direction
in which she sees the nation
heading as well as what she
plans to do iI elected into oI-
fce.
'Ronna is a dynamic speak-
er with many great ideas. It
should be an exciting event,
said sophomore Aaron Bailey,
vice chairman oI the Hillsdale
College Republicans.
Romney`s visit is spon-
sored by the Hillsdale College
Republicans, and all county
Republicans are invited to at-
tend, according to Bailey. .
Romney, who is Irom
Bloomfeld Hills, Michigan,
ran Ior a seat on the U.S. Sen-
ate in 1994 and lost in that
election. She does not current-
ly hold a national oIfce. Rom-
ney is challenging Democratic
incumbent Carl Levin.
'I totally support Ronna
Romney over Michigan Sena-
tor Carl Levin, said senior
Tom Morrison. 'While abor-
tion is not the only issue
which concerns me, I`m angry
that Senator Levin twice vot-
ed in Iavor oI allowing partial-
birth abortions. Romney has
pledged to protect the unborn.
This is not the frst signifcant
event this year Ior the College
Republicans; many students
attended a rally Ior presiden-
tial candidate Bob Dole last
month.

Ronna Romney visits Hillsdale
Last week the Tower Player`s
production oI the 2004 play 'Al-
most, Maine shocked some oI
the more conservative elements
oI Hillsdale College. ProIessor
oI theatre Michael Beyer asked
students to come in with an open
mind and perhaps leave with the
door slightly ajar. Instead, some
audience members leIt visibly
oIIended. Yes, theatre oIten does
expose us to views and concepts
that can make us uncomIort-
able, but in many ways, that is
the point oI theatre to make us
think.
Two scenes in the play`s
second act caused a stir: One
depicted same-sex attraction
between two men and another
implied pre-marital sex between
old Iriends and included a crude
hand gesture.
The play handled the top-
ics with grace and class. It`s
not uncommon to swear oII the
opposite sex aIter multiple let-
downs and broken hearts, as the
two men in the scene did. And
the couple preparing Ior their
night together did so humorously
rather than sensually, and leIt the
outcome to the imagination. This
mixture oI modesty and playIul-
ness portrayed by the actors was
commendable.
Not only did the play leave
graphic content oIIstage, but it
also required the audience to
evaluate their own relationships
and perception oI love. Shake-
speare`s plays are Iull oI 17th-
century sexual innuendos (coin
in purse, anyone?), and are some
oI theatre`s greatest art. We spend
hours in English classes picking
apart the nuances oI every word
and appreciating what they reveal
to us about Elizabethan English
culture. So today, instead oI run-
ning away when Iaced with ideas
contrary to our own, let`s appre-
ciate, analyze and discuss their
merit the same way we would
under the guidance oI ProIessor
oI English Stephen Smith. Stu-
dents aren`t acting against their
consciences when they appreci-
ate this authentic artistic portray-
al oI liIe in the 21st century.

In modern America, appearance is
everything, especially how one views
him or herselI. When a group oI people
Ieels subjugated by their environmen-
tal conditions, they view themselves
critically, and someone must stand
against the victimization and injustice.
A defning characteristic oI a girl`s
appearance is her locks: The tresses
are curled or fattened, blow-dried
and shampooed and conditioned with
such great care that each strand is per-
Iectly picturesque (until 30 minutes
later when the wind creates a crow`s
nest upon her head). But the `do will
certainly still be the key to nailing that
interview, getting that guy or impress-
ing her Iriends at lunch. In essence, the
hair gives a woman that extra boost in
confdence she needs to conquer the
world. But on bad hair days, girls tend
to be more distracted, annoyed and in-
secure.
However, the care oI one`s hair
has become a challenge Ior some Ie-
male students. When the shower head
in one`s dorm only crests at approxi-
mately 5 Ieet 6 inches, give or take an
inch depending on the shower head,
the girl above the average height 5
Ieet 4 inches, according to the Cen-
ters Ior Disease Control is doomed
to awkwardness and humiliation as
she hits her head on the shower pipe
and must crouch to rinse her hair or
else consign herselI to the Iar worse
suIIering oI not having silky, shiny,
dandruII-Iree hair. Many girls gripe
that having to adjust the shower head
and stand in diIIerent postures makes
showering take a longer time.
What`s completely unIair is that the
boys don`t have to suIIer through this
burdensome rite. As careIul measuring
has revealed, the shower heads in the
boys` bathrooms are higher than those
in the girls`. In Simpson, the shower
heads are around 6 Ieet 2 inches in
height.
Men do tend to be taller than
women, as the average male height is
around 5 Ieet 10 inches. This means,
though, that while the girls` showers
are only 2 inches taller than the Iemale
average height, the guys` are 4 inches
higher.
This limitation on the height oI
women`s showers demonstrates a re-
striction on their greater ambitions,
creating a glass ceiling and Iulflling
the truth oI the war on women.
According to the American Psy-
chology Association, taller people
normally earn more money and have
more confdence in themselves. How-
ever, with the height oI the shower
heads, women are Iorced to shorten
themselves, which crumbles their selI-
esteem and makes them Ieel uncom-
Iortable with their bodies.
Virtual reality studies have shown
by making someone view the world
Irom a shorter perspective, subjects
report Ieelings oI inIeriority, weakness
and incompetence.
There already exists a confdence
gap between men and women, seeing
that women are paid less than men,
aren`t promoted as Iast and there are
Iewer women in top positions in the
business world. Not to mention, when
women do assert themselves, they are
made to Ieel guilty about it and called
the 'b-word: bossy.
It is absurd that this patriarchal op-
pression oI women in day-to-day liIe
has been permitted to stand when we
cannot stand in the shower. We must
unite together in order to fght this
unegalitarian persecution.
By Iorcing women most specif-
cally to decrease their height, they
Ieel less capable, and at an institution
that demands students to perIorm at
the highest oI expectations, selI-con-
fdence is essential to achieving that
goal.
The unequal diIIerence in the
height oI the shower heads Irom that
oI the average height in the men`s and
women`s dorms makes it just the more
diIfcult Ior women to succeed and
win the war against them and their
Iabulous hair.

On Oct. 10, 2014, I merciIully
deactivated the poor, neglected entity
that was once my Facebook account. I
terminated a long-abandoned Twitter
profle, and even made a new, dispos-
able email account Ior a Iresh SpotiIy
profle that is unlinked to any oI my
previous media profles. While most
oI the modern world is becoming
Iurther woven together, I am slipping
Iurther oII the grid.
We live in an era when
stimulation is literally at our
fngertips: Instantaneous,
painless, and cheap. From
2005 to 2013, social media
usage increased an astound-
ing 800 percent, with 73
percent oI online adults
in 2013 using at least one
social networking site, ac-
cording to a 2013 report oI
the Pew Research Center`s
Internet and American LiIe
Project. Social media is no
longer a gimmick or a Iad.
The race to develop the next
trendy network has led to
the creation oI more and
more media to plug into. In
seconds, we can engorge our minds
with piles and piles oI inIormation.
Like vultures circling through the pix-
els oI illuminated screens, we fock to
the smallest snippets oI selI-published
thought and suck them dry.
Modern social networks are an
unrelenting, never-ending source
oI instant gratifcation that have
completely changed the way human
beings live. Never beIore have we
been able to siIt through another`s
personality so impersonally. Any-
one with a Iew fngers and halI a
brain is happy to read your spews oI
thought as long as you will glance at
theirs. We don`t always know what a
person is thinking, but we know what
someone is thinking because it just
disappeared at the top oI the screen a
Iew blinks ago. Our minds are wired
to an ever-expanding nebula that can
temporarily eliminate a vague desire
to be connected.
Now that we have the unprece-
dented ability to convey our thoughts
eIIortlessly, our communication lines
are clogged with inIormation that
is quickly chewed, digested, and
Iorgotten. The thirst to stay constantly
involved and relevant cannot be a
healthy step Ior mankind. The time
we spend plugged in is time lost to a
perpetual cycle oI remaining in the
know. Instantaneous communication
has turned us into mindless locusts
with a taste Ior the irrelevant, the
unnecessary, and the immediate: an
insatiable appetite Ior that which can-
not Iulfll us.
In an age when we can saturate our
minds with endless textual bile, how
can we retain the elements oI who we
are as individuals? A healthy amount
oI mental solitude is Iundamental to
the development oI who we are, and I
Iear that social media has hunted the
concepts oI personal refection and
deep thinking to near extinction. The
overabundance oI communication in
our generation has eIIectively shaken
awake our daydreams, crippled our
fctional alter-egos, and saddled our
minds with leaden irrelevance. There
is no time to truly think. No time to
dream. We seem to be shackled by a
socially-constructed obligation to stay
hooked into each other`s heads at all
times.
I`m not suggesting that social
media is demon spawn or that each
oI us should completely retreat into
our own thoughts. Far Irom it. But
we need to be careIul not to let social
media destroy the much more Iulfll-
ing stimulations in this liIe. Instead oI
using our downtime to ooze through
Facebook, Twitter, and Yik-Yak, we
should fnd something a little more
real. Recently, I issued a challenge to
myselI that I think is
reIreshing in an age oI
digital monotony, and
I would like to pass it
along: Find something
to struggle with. For
me, it`s learning to
play guitar. But it can
be anything, as long as
it Iorces your mind to
be engaged. Some-
thing that requires
headaches, sweat, and
maybe even blood.
Something you can
wrestle with Ior hours
and hours and never
be truly sick oI in your
heart, even aIter leth-
argy tries to trick you into admitting
it isn`t worth your time. Something
you love Ior its own sake and because
there is joy in actively thinking or do-
ing or being something or some way.
Find what this means to you, and then
make it conIorm to your eIIorts.
Our connected culture is packed
Iull oI voices and distractions that can
mask who we truly are and deaIen our
ears to what is truly important. But
when there is so much more that we
can be, we owe it to unplug, take a
Iew deep breaths, and discover who
we really are.

George Washington once wrote: 'The American people must Ieel beIore they act. This is human
nature; we tend not to care about something until we Ieel its impact on ourselves. Ebola has impacted
West AIrica since March, yet only recently has it become a topic oI conversation in the U.S. because
it appeared in America two weeks ago.
We have three options: chalk the issue up as Iear mongering, Iear monger and Ireak out, or have a
serious discussion about Ebola. Our medical inIrastructure and hygiene habits do not prevent 200,000
people Irom contracting infuenza on an annual basis, so it seems that those are not enough to stop
Ebola. But the Iact that we are unable to stop Ebola does not indicate a sure epidemic. Freaking out
is unnecessary and likely to be counterproductive. A serious discussion is in order.
What we claim to know about the disease, Irom our limited understanding oI it, is that it is only
transmitted through bodily fuids once the host demonstrates symptoms oI the disease. UnIortunately,
there is no known cure yet. There have been around 4,500 deaths reported in West AIrica. It continues
to spread through West AIrica due to a lack oI inIrastructure, a general lack oI hygiene, and no real
control over the quarantine system. It is expected to get worse beIore it gets better.
Our government`s chosen response is two-pronged: frst, attacking the disease at its source by
sending American troops in to build inIrastructure and establish order; and second, ensuring eco-
nomic stability in West AIrica so that the region does not simply dissolve
into chaos.
But this approach is problematic. It is unclear that American Iorces will
be able to fght Ebola eIIectively. Marines are trained to shoot bad guys, not
fght diseases.
More important, we are allowing people to travel to and Irom West AIrica
Ireely, increasing the risk that the disease will come and spread here. The frst
Ebola death on American soil has occurred and American lives are hanging
in quarantined suspense because they were in the wrong place at the wrong
time. Whether more people have been inIected remains to be seen.
There has been little consideration oI the health oI the 3,000 Marines and
even less consideration oI the inherent risks associated with Iree travel be-
tween America and the heart oI the outbreak. Our administration does not un-
derstand the Iundamental role oI American government: to protect the lives
and liberty oI the American people. Endangering the lives oI the American
people by allowing Iree travel Ior the sake oI West AIrica`s economy is a mistake. I understand the
argument that we want to keep West AIrica stable economically to better contain the situation, but
there are better ways to contain the disease without needlessly endangering American lives.
We should stop air travel coming in Irom West AIrica. We can transport resources and deliver
aid without commercial airliners. We should be using troops to deliver resources and quarantine the
inIected region without inserting them into the midst oI the outbreak. We need to address the problem
at its source Ior the saIety oI Americans. The generosity oI America allows us to send resources and
allow volunteers to help poorer countries, but we should not allow people to come into America Irom
West AIrica.
It may be the case that this does not spread throughout the United States. Should that be so, it will
not be on account oI the American government protecting its people. Instead, I am concerned that
we shall Iail to destroy it and it shall continue to leak out to the rest oI the world, cropping up across
America as we race Irom one fre to the next, trying to put out the fames.
II George Washington was right, we will not act to contain the disease seriously until we Ieel the
eIIects oI outbreak. By then, it could be too late.
Dominic Restuccia is a funior studving politics.
There`s a new buzzword to add to the list oI things not to shout in an airport: Ebola. Ebola has taken
not only the nation but the world by storm since it began in West AIrica, with what researchers believe
was a single person who contracted the virus Irom Iruit bats oI the Pteropodidae Iamily. Because these
bats inIected other animals through close contact in the wild, all it took was one person to eat an inIected
animal or touch an inIected carcass Ior the disease to take root in the human population. That single per-
son has now inIected nearly 9,000 people just in West AIrica.
While Ebola is survivable iI detected early and its symptoms are treated, it is claiming so many lives
because oI its quick transIer ability. And the longer the virus can propagate, the more it will adapt, and
the harder developing a vaccine will become. Luckily, Ebola only 'spreads through human-to-human
transmission via direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with the blood, secretions,
organs or other bodily fuids oI inIected people, and with surIaces and materials (e.g. bedding, clothing)
contaminated with these fuids, according to the World Health Organization. Bodily fuid contamination
and transIer is not a huge problem in the United States thanks to our sewage systems, health codes, water
dispersion, etc. which many poorer nations lack.
But, regardless oI where Ebola came Irom and what it`s doing, it`s here and it demands action. Un-
Iortunately, our country`s lack oI priorities and desire to push unrelated agendas has created conIusion
about the disease. There was no immediate response to the threat oI it coming
into America, and now it is here. Many conservative politicians have blamed
President Obama. While the president`s actions concerning Ebola, like sending
3,000 troops to West AIrica to help 'control the outbreak, are questionable,
Ebola itselI is not his Iault.
We can sit here and criticize the president all we want, but that won`t help.
Blaming Ebola on our country`s obsession with political correctness, despite the
outrageous and Ioolish concern over the need to be so politically correct, also
will not help. Rush Limbaugh said last week on his radio show that, 'The im-
pulse might be to isolate these countries. II we do that, iI we isolate, see, this is
this political correctness crap. It`s not Iair that they are the ones that have Ebola.
It would be unIair and it would be profling and it would be stigmatizing iI we
told them that they have more Ebola than anybody else. So we can`t isolate these
countries. Limbaugh does not understand the inability to isolate a country in
the 21st century.
Since when did Ebola and political correctness have any relation? People like Limbaugh are taking
advantage oI the conIusion to push their own agendas instead oI actually addressing the problem. Dis-
ease is not the next political battleground. Whether or not you are in Iavor oI the travel sanctions or health
screenings or deployment oI troops, one thing is Ior sure: The Iocus must be Ebola and the protection oI
American citizens Irom it.
Reasonable precautions should be taken. The government should warn Americans against travel to
inIected areas. But medical personnel will need to travel. Banning business travel will depress the AIri-
can economies, making it harder to obtain medical treatment. All travelers Irom aIIected areas must be
screened as they enter the U.S. The medical community must develop and rigorously practice contain-
ment procedures. The media should keep the public inIormed, but not panicked. The medical community
will be most eIIective and the media will be the most infuential in handling the issues oI Ebola. When
government gets involved, unrelated agendas get pushed. We need a priority check. Only once we have
the country`s priorities in check one oI most important being the protection oI the liIe, liberty, and
happiness oI American citizens, which an Ebola outbreak could severely compromise can we take the
reasonable precautions necessary to contain Ebola.

Dear Editor,
Chris McCaIIery, in his op-ed 'An
Economy Fit Ior Humans (Oct.9),
seriously mischaracterizes economics,
and in particular the kind oI econom-
ics that students learn at Hillsdale. As
all scientifc disciplines, economics has
its Iair share (likely more than most) oI
bad analysis and awIul policy prescrip-
tions. I would never purport to deIend
all oI economics since I personally be-
lieve a signifcant portion oI it is not
very good. But the kind oI econom-
ics that we emphasize at Hillsdale (we
teach all schools, but emphasize only
some) is most certainly not guilty oI
the sins that Mr. McCaIIery accuses it.
Ludwig von Mises taught us that
economics is a science oI human ac-
tion. Building on Mises` broader in-
sights, F.A. Hayek Iurther explained
that economics is about studying
which institutions (including the spon-
taneously evolved market institutions
'the result oI human action but not
oI human design) are most eIIective
at coordinating the plans and actions
oI multitudes oI Iree individuals who
interact with each other in highly com-
plex ways. Good economists simply
aim to understand those institutions,
whether they take the Iorm oI laws, in-
Iormal social rules, customs, etc., that
Iacilitate this coordination oI human
actions. And yes, when those institu-
tions are right, prosperity usually Iol-
lows. But economics is not primarily
about prosperity, and it never claims
that prosperity leads to happiness; rath-
er, economics is Iundamentally about
understanding the consequences oI
choices made under particular institu-
tional arrangements.
What so many seem to be bothered
by is that good economics does not
purport to tell people what goals they
should value and pursue. The pro-
ponents oI localism` are engaged in
exactly that, though they have an
agenda that they are trying to push. It
is quite possible that this agenda may
be entirely correct, and iI they are sim-
ply attempting peaceIul persuasion
that happiness and contentment will be
best reached by Iollowing their reci-
pes, I wish them all the luck (though
I personally much preIer to live in a
globalized world, which benefts us all
immensely). However, economics is
most certainly not about telling people
whether they should preIer living in a
small commune or in a mega-city. And
this is what is irritating about good eco-
nomics to all people with an agenda
they are unable to conscript it to push
that agenda, since the economists` start-
ing point is always the individual with
his or her own thoughts, ideas, values
and preIerences, whatever those might
be. Good economics simply teaches
us what institutions to adopt that will
allow people to best accomplish their
goals based on those thoughts, ideas,
values and preIerences, which econo-
mists are not equipped to judge. And
I can assure you that NO economist
would ever say that 'humans are com-
modities to be bought and sold, as Mr.
McCaIIery claims. That is absolutely
ridiculous, and a gross mischaracter-
ization oI any economist`s views.

This is a continuation of

the current condition of Hills-

As winter looms, the city oI
Hillsdale struggles to fx the

record snowIall and Ireezing
temperatures, and drastic state

city unable to fx many oI its lo!

While crumbling roads have

ment hasn`t determined how
to generate the revenue to fx
them. Yet, Hillsdale Financial

deIends the city`s fnancial de!

'While we want the money

Some options briefy men!
tioned include: instituting a

parking meters in downtown
Hillsdale (which were seen as
detrimental to local business
and torn out 25 years ago);
borrowing money through city

municipalities to contribute to

Options discussed in greater

reintroducing a city income tax;
and selling the Board oI Public

Though considered to be vi!
able, the special assessments
option garnered mixed support
Irom the group.
'In special assessment,
you`re going to get a lot oI criti!
cism Ior the low income neigh!
borhoods that never get fxed,
said Mary WolIram, Hillsdale
director oI economic develop!
ment.
Mary WolIram and Hills!
dale College ProIessor oI Po!
litical Economy Gary WolIram
strongly advocated reintroduc!
ing the Hillsdale income tax
coupled with a reduction in the
city property tax.
'The beauty oI the income
tax is it captures the people who
drive in Ior work, Mary said.
She added that contrary to
what many income tax oppo!
nents argue, the tax wouldn`t
deter businesses Irom coming
to Hillsdale, shown in the ex!
ample oI Paragon Metals, Inc.
choosing to move to Hillsdale
despite knowing an income tax
may be implemented.
The group then discussed
selling BPU.
Although the city collects
$450,000 a year in payment
in lieu oI taxes (PILOT) Irom
BPU, iI BPU is sold its as!
sets are estimated to be worth
around $20 million. Last spring,
Hillsdale attorney Kevin Shirk
said selling BPU was 'not re!
alistic, but Councilperson Pat!
rick Flannery is confdent the
sale would be benefcial.
Unlike the other two major
Iunding options discussed, the
sale oI BPU would give Hills!
dale a lump sum oI money in!
stantly, raising revenue capable
oI fxing 20 miles oI roads at a
cost oI $1 million per mile.

'I was hoping that`s what
we could zero on, at least Ior
tonight, to operate under the as!
sumption that there is no help
coming Irom external sources,
especially the state, Councilp!
erson Adam StockIord said.
The committee Iocused on
raising revenue at the local lev!
el because it doesn`t believe the
state is a reliable resource Ior
road money. The stipulations
Ior spending Act 51 Gasoline
Tax money, the way statutory
revenue sharing is doled out,
and the passage oI Proposal 1
were cited as examples Ior their
concerns.
According to Gary WolIram,
the way state Iunding is distrib!
uted has an especially negative
eIIect on local roads.
'MDOT doesn`t particularly
care iI Vine Street gets paved,
Gary WolIram said.
He said any state Act 51
money received by the city
can`t go to local roads, like
Vine Street, and has to go to
trunkline roads.
Furthermore, he explained
Gov. Rick Snyder has shiIted
statutory revenue sharing away
Irom a 'per capita based sys!
tem to a system where money
is distributed based on meeting
certain economic specifcations.
According to Gary WolIram,
this change hurts Hillsdale.
Gary WolIram also argues
the passage oI the Proposal 1
reIerendum in the Aug. 5 pri!
mary election will hurt Hills!
dale.
With the passage oI Proposal
1, companies that own less than
$80,000 in taxable personal
property will no longer be taxed
on that personal property (that
which isn`t part oI the compa!
ny`s building), with industrial
personal property taxes com!
pletely phased out by 2022.
State Sen. Bruce Caswell
disagrees with Gary WolIram`s
analysis oI Proposal 1, saying
that any revenue lost by munic!
ipalities Irom Proposal 1 will
be replaced by the state until at
least 2021.

While city government dis!

winter are going Iorward ex!

Sessions believes that de!

took on the city`s roads, the
city did a good job with snow

adds snow plowing and salting

Just 15 minutes Irom cam!
pus lies the 'Antique Capital oI
the World in Allen, Michigan.
When driving through Allen, an!
tique stores line both sides oI the
roads, claiming to be 'the larg!
est antique barn in Michigan
or 'home to the world`s greatest
antiques.
Antiquing in Allen is a popu!
lar pursuit that entices people to
travel Irom all over the globe
just to spend a Iew hours wan!
dering the aisles oI enormous
warehouses flled with relics oI
the past.
Bryce McAllen, owner oI the
Allen Antique Barn since taking
over Irom his parents more than
4 years ago, said that people will
travel Irom just about anywhere
in order to visit the 'Antique
Capital.
'We have a regular guy who
comes in Irom Japan twice a
year, McAllen said. 'He buys
us out oI Fire King mugs. We
sell them Ior a one or two dol!
lars and he`ll get thirty or Iorty
dollars Ior the same mug. So he
comes in and just cleans house.
Though antiquing can be
a pastime Ior anyone, McAl!
len explained that most people
come in looking Ior specifc
things: memories.
'Most people do it because
they are buying their childhood
memories. They come in to
buy a couch that looks like one
that was in their grandmother`s
house.
Hog Creek Antique Mall
Employee Pam Barrows said
her customers are equally as di!
verse, and come Irom all corners
oI the globe looking to fnd deals
on childhood remembrances.
'I just love meeting everyone
Irom Australia and Europe, Bar!
rows said. 'One lady was visit!
ing Irom Germany and bought
a chandelier. Everything is so
much cheaper here (in America).
We take a lot Ior granted.
Though Allen is admired in!
ternationally, it is also a hotspot
among local Hillsdale college
students on a budget. While many
are scouring the aisles oI Wal-
Mart or IKEA, thriIty students
fnd that Allen makes Ior a Iun
oII-campus adventure and great
place to fnd household goods
Ior cheap prices. Alumnus Rob!
ert Ramsey, `14, described in an
email all that Allen has to oIIer.
'The antique malls there aren`t
antique stores in the sense that
people normally think oI antique
stores: overpriced, stuIIy places
flled with brittle Edwardian Iur!
niture. In Allen, they`re basically
vast warehouses oI mid-20th cen!
tury Americana, Ramsey wrote.
Ramsey said the appeal oI an!
tique malls is largely that items
are both cheap and oI good qual!
ity.
'I supplied much oI my kitch!
enware Irom Allen in college;
decent quality china can be had
there Ior a couple bucks iI you
know where to look. It also has
a Iantastic tool section flled with
quality, American-made tools Ior
next to nothing, Ramsey wrote.
Junior Forester McClatchey
said he antiques because it allows
him to fll his house with Iurni!
ture on a budget.
'It can be great iI you`re try!
ing to fnd something that fts a
certain aesthetic that you want Ior
your dorm room or house, Mc!
Clatchey said.
Planning to spend a day in
Allen is planning to have a day
flled with adventure. Antiquing
is not only a popular pastime Ior
those with small wallets but is
also an exciting exploration oI
the recent past.
'It`s Iun to walk around the
antique shops because.you
see all these interesting artiIacts
that make you wonder about
the people who made them and
used them. It`s Iascinating, Mc!
Clatchey said.
Junior Aaron Schreck, who
has been antiquing since last year,
echoed McClatchey`s sentiment.
'To go antiquing is to step
back into this world oI the past.
It`s like looking back into another
world; all these objects have sen!
timental value to someone, and
walking among these objects
allows you to experience their
stories, Schreck said. 'That`s
my Iavorite aspect oI antiquing.
II it`s a book, someone read that
book; iI it`s a chair, it was sat
in Ior years It`s like walking
through the halls oI history.

Political celebrities Irom both
parties swarm to the Great Lakes
State to rally support Ior Senate
candidates Terri Lynn Land (R-
Mich.) and Rep. Gary Peters (D-
Mich.) in the fnal weeks oI the
race to clinch a Senate majority
this November.
Wednesday, the White House
announced that President Barack
Obama will visit Detroit to cam!

rial candidate Mark Schauer (D)
during the last week oI the cam!
paign. Last Friday, First Lady

City and Florida Gov. Jeb Bush
stumped Ior Land in Lansing.
Today, Iormer Secretary oI State
and potential 2016 presidential
candidate Hillary Clinton will
campaign Ior Peters in Oakland,
Michigan.
'We all need to be as passion!
ate and as hungry Ior this elec!
tion as we were back in 2008
and 2012, Michelle Obama
said, addressing an enthusiastic
crowd. 'In Iact we need to be
even more passionate and more
hungry because these races here
in Michigan will be even harder
and closer than those presiden!
tial elections. And they`re just as
important.
The frst lady`s speech drew a
crowd oI more than 2,000 sup!
porters Ior Peters last Friday
driving another nail in the
coIfn oI a Republican victory.
The National Republican Sena!
torial Committee also withdrew
$1 million worth oI Land TV
ads Ior the last two weeks oI the

Nevertheless, Michelle
Obama`s appearance leIt many
Michigan Republicans optimis!
tic about the race.
'First Lady Michelle Obama`s

In contrast, the Michigan

chelle Obama`s eIIorts will help
close the deal Ior Peters in No!
vember. Peters supporters were
Iurther encouraged last weekend
when a Mitchell Research poll
showed Peters in an 11-point

'The frst lady has been a tre!
mendous advocate Ior our mid!

and we look Iorward to having

gan Democratic Party Chair Lon

Michelle Obama`s speech
reminisced about her husband`s
presidential campaigns, and pled
passionately Ior Michigan Dem!

'II you think that people who

Iulfll every last bit oI their God-

Michelle Obama said.
Bush spoke Ior less than 15
minutes at a whirlwind gathering
with Land and Attorney General
Bill Schuette at the Michigan
Republican Party headquarters
in Lansing, according to the
Lansing State Journal.
'Rick Snyder is a spectacular

In a deIensive battle, the Hill-
sdale College Chargers came up
short on the road against top-10
team Ohio Dominican, Ialling by
a score oI 9-3.
'They`ve got a really good
deIense, head coach Keith Ot-
terbein said. 'They`ve got really
good pass rushers.
It was the frst game that the
Chargers have played since Nov.
2, 1991 in which both teams
Iailed to fnd the end zone.
The Panthers` deIense held the
Chargers to just a Iourth quarter
feld goal Irom redshirt sopho-
more kicker Steven Mette. Hills-
dale`s deIense wasn`t too shabby
either.
'We knew we had to be physi-
cal with them because they have
the best deIense in the GLIAC,
said senior captain deIensive
back Tim Moinet, who had one
oI Hillsdale`s two interceptions
on the day. 'Our deIense stepped
up and played really well.
Hillsdale`s deIense bent
but didn`t break. The Panthers
moved the ball, gaining 376
yards on the day and converting
20 frst downs. But the Chargers
kept them out oI the end zone.
'We played really hard,
coach Otterbein said about his
deIense. '|We| did a great job
with the deIense to keep them out
oI the end zone.
The Chargers also did a good
job oI pressuring Ohio Domini-
can`s quarterback.
'We just kept bringing a lot
oI pressure and blitzes, Moinet
said. 'We were constantly in their
backfeld.
The Panthers were only able to
muster three feld goals through-
out the game. But with their stin-
gy deIense, it was enough to get
the job done.
'Their deIense was just very
good, quarterback Mark LaPrai-
rie said. 'Their deIensive line
was very big, athletic, Iast, so
that made it a little bit more diI-
fcult to throw.
Ohio Dominican`s deIense
held LaPrairie to just 103 yards
passing on 8 completions.
The Chargers also leIt them-
selves with too many third and
long situations, Otterbein said.
Hillsdale converted just two oI
their 14 third downs on the day.
'We didn`t enhance our op-
portunities by the mistakes we
made, he said. '|There were| too
many times where we were play-
ing right into their strengths.
With the loss, the Chargers
are now 2-4 overall and 2-3 in
GLIAC play. Hillsdale will look
to pick up their third win oI the
season on Saturday when they
host Ashland at 2:30 p.m.
Ashland and Hillsdale haven`t
played since the 2011 season
when Hillsdale won a shootout
40-34. The two schools have
been rivals in years past and
there is even a trophy that goes
to the winner oI each game, but
since many oI the current play-
ers haven`t played Ashland much
iI at all, the rivalry isn`t on their
minds.
'I haven`t played them since
Ireshman year so that whole ri-
valry thing isn`t there Ior us as a
team, Moinet said. 'There`s not
much history because we played
them once.
Like any team in the GLIAC,
Ashland will pose Iamiliar chal-
lenges.
'|They`re| Iast, physical, ath-
letic just like the rest oI the teams
in this league, coach Otterbein
said. 'The thing we`ve got to
continue to Iocus on is ourselves.
|We`ll| prepare the best we can,
play the best we can and worry
about ourselves rather than what
iIs.

BOX SCORES
This preseason the swim team
dedicated their time to becoming
faster and stronger.
Upon fnishing sixth in the
GLIAC championship meet last
year, the smaller team is looking
to focus individually, to ensure
that each girl is swimming to her
best ability to achieve a GLIAC
title this year. The frst step in a
season long conquest of the GLI-
AC title begins this Friday at 6
p.m. at the University of Findlay.
Our team is smaller, but we
are really focused more on get-
ting stronger and swimming ev-
eryday like its a race. We have
been pushing really hard this past
offseason, senior captain Ali
Bauer said.
Last weekend, the team had
its annual Blue and White intra-
squad meet which was a great
predictor for how the season will
unfold.
Its hard to say this early in
the season, but the way everyone
looked and felt is really positive,
sophomore freestyler Whitley
Sowell said. The emphasis on
team is great, and I`m excited to
see how we grow and improve as
the season moves along. Every-
one is working on swimming to
compete with the girl next to her
rather than just swimming to get
through the race.
Upon arriving back at cam-
pus early August, the Chargers
have been working diligently on
technique and improving race-
simulation by vamping up the
intensity at practice.
'Beating the girl next to you
is one of the central themes the
Hillsdales swim team is focus-
ing on this season, as well as
improving their already impres-
sive academic goals. Earning
Scholar All-American last year,
the teams work ethic in the pool
refects in their studies as well
with a 3.2 average team GPA.
Although the team is small
this year, having graduated six
seniors last spring and only intro-
ducing two freshman to this team
this fall, the 17-member team is
just as much of a contender in
the GLIAC as the other teams.
The size of the team doesnt mat-
ter as much in the conference
meet, because in the races that
they are able to score points in,
coming out on top is what will
allow them to bring home a title.
Swimming is such a men-
tal game, junior backstroker
and freestyler Alissa Jones said,
Each one of us has to be on our
A-game going into meets be-
cause how you swim individu-
ally is going to greatly impact a
small team. Doing your job in-
dividually is going to help your
team the most, especially in re-
lays.
The team is packed with tal-
ent, but Bauer said their hard
work ethic is their secret weapon.
The opportunity the season
brings is what I`m most excited
about. Being stronger, better, and
faster, is what we are all reaching
for, Bauer said. Talent is only
going to get a team so far, but
hard work will be what brings
success and I think our work is
going to be refected this season.
While roadtripping to North
Carolina in late June, head coach
oI the Hillsdale men`s basketball
team John Tharp received a call
Irom Lawrence University. He
was going to be inducted into the
university`s Hall oI Fame.
Tharp said he was overjoyed
when he heard the news.
'I had never given |being in
the hall oI Iame| much thought,
Tharp said. 'It sure made the car
ride down seem quicker.
It was at Appleton, Wiscon-
sin`s Lawrence University where
Tharp began his coaching career
and created a winning atmo-
sphere Ior the school. On Friday,
almost eight years aIter parting
ways with the small Division III
school, Tharp was honored with
a ceremony Ior the induction at
the university.
The Iormer coach was greet-
ed by many Iamily and Iriends,
some oI which he had not seen
since he leIt to become a Charger.
'They gave me my frst
chance, Tharp said. 'It was def-
nitely emotional.
Tharp began coaching the
Lawrence University Vikings
in 1994 and remained the head
coach Ior thirteen years, making
a name Ior the school and himselI
In just his third season with
the team he led the Vikings to a
conIerence title and an NCAA
tournament berth.
AIter not making it to the
tournament in the Iollowing fve
seasons, the Vikings bounced
back to claim the conIerence
championship title the next three
consecutive seasons. They ap-
peared in the NCAA tournament
in each oI those years, including
a trip to the Elite Eight in 2004.
His Iondest memory was the
2005-2006 season. The team fn-
ished with a 25-1 record and was
ranked frst in the nation.
'What a ride, Tharp said. 'To
be ranked number one, it was
pretty special.
Finishing with a stellar 204-
108 record, Tharp set new coach-
ing records Ior years to come Ior
Lawrence University including
most wins and highest winning
percentage.
Tharp did more Ior his teams
than win basketball games. He
said he strived to make his play-
ers men and help them through
the ups and downs oI not only
basketball games, but liIe itselI.
Tharp, along with his wiIe
JenniIer, took care oI the basket-
ball players when they were sick
or needed help.
'We were their second par-
ents. It`s one big Iamily, Tharp
said.
This sort oI attitude toward
the players is what made Tharp
special and what Lawrence Uni-
versity included when recogniz-
ing him as a hall oI Iame coach.
Since becoming a Charger in
2007, his coaching style has not
changed and the people who are
surrounded by him now are not
surprised with the honor he re-
ceived.
'He has a unique ability to
talk to people, said Luke Laser
`10, the Hillsdale men`s basket-
ball assistant coach. 'He makes
you Ieel like you are the most im-
portant person in the world. It`s
a good Ieeling and it`s something
that not many people can do.
Laser has spent a lot oI time
with Tharp over the past years,
including his time as a player.
Laser became a Charger the same
year as Tharp did.
'He makes you Ieel like iI you
set a goal, no matter how loIty
that goal is, you can accomplish
it and he will make sure you do.
That`s what makes him a special
man and a special coach, Laser
said.
Former player Anthony Man-
no `14 echoes what Laser said
about Tharp`s care Ior his play-
ers.
'The majority oI coaches out
there care only what you do on
the foor, Manno said. 'Coach
Tharp certainly cares what you
do on the foor, but he is also le-
gitimately invested in your liIe as
a human.
Manno could not agree more
with the induction Lawrence
University gave Tharp.
'Coach Tharp is a hall oI Iame
caliber coach. To see where he
has taken our program in such a
short period oI time is prooI oI
his ability, Manno said.
The Chargers have made the
GLIAC playoIIs every year since
Tharp began coaching, and the
team won the GLIAC conIerence
championship in 2012. Tharp is
currently ranked as Hillsdale`s
third winningest coach.
'I believe that he is hall oI
Iame caliber Ior many reasons
in addition to his overall record
and winning percentage, Manno
said. 'Things like the way he
cares Ior his players and his in-
vested interest in every man who
has played Ior him will transcend
past all wins and losses in my
mind. Few coaches can win a lot
oI games. Even Iewer coaches
can win a lot oI games and re-
spect their players as Coach
Tharp does.
JOHN THARP: A HALL
OF FAME COACH
Oakland Raiders wide receiv-
er Andre Holmes, `11, played an
integral part in the Raiders game
against the San Diego Chargers
on October 12.
Though the Chargers beat the
Raiders 31-28, Holmes had two
touchdowns and 121 yards Irom
Iour catches during the game.
Holmes attributed much oI
his success in the game and this
season in general to Raiders
quarterback Derek Carr`s trust
in his teammates.
'You like to hear that he`s
going to have trust in you, espe-
cially on those opportunity balls
where you might have to make
a play over a deIensive back,
Holmes said in an interview aI-
ter the game. 'He trusts you to
make plays, and it`s really en-
couraging.
Holmes is coming to the Iore-
Iront oI the Raiders` oIIense,
playing 111 snaps and getting 20
targets in the last two games in
comparison to the 66 snaps and
9 targets he had Irom the frst
three games oI the season.
In the last two weeks, Holmes
has had nine receptions with 195
yards and three touchdowns, in-
cluding a 77-yard touchdown.
AIter playing Ior the Dallas
Cowboys Ior two years beIore
joining the Raiders, Holmes, an
undraIted Iree agent, has been
one oI the biggest subjects on
Fantasy Football blogs the past
two weeks.
Holmes has remained humble
and Iocused through his success.
'We just have to continue to
stay the course and work hard,
Holmes said.
Holmes` next game is on
Sunday against the Arizona Car-
dinals in a game that Chargers`
Ians might have a hard time de-
ciding which team to root Ior.
OIIensive tackle Jared Veld-
heer, 10, signed with the Ari-
zona Cardinals in the oIIseason.
Veldheer was draIted by the
Raiders in 2010. He signed with
the Cardinals this past oIIseason
as a Iree agent.
Veldheer`s Cardinals are one
oI the big surprises so Iar this
season in the NFL, leading the
NFC West with a 4-1 record.
Veldheer and Holmes have
spent several years playing to-
gether at Hillsdale and with
Oakland.
Come Sunday, they`ll be on
opposite sidelines. However,
they won`t likely be on the feld
at the same time as both players
play on the oIIensive side oI the
ball.
Chargers will be well repre-
sented on Sunday at Oakland`s
O.co Coliseum.

Head coach of the baseball
team Eric Theisen talks about
his love of baseball, preprepa-
ration for the upcoming sea-
son, and the teams annual
Halloween game on Oct. 19.
How did you get into the game
of baseball?
I was born into it. My dad was
a head college coach when I
was born, and so I grew up in
the dugout. I helped coach
the Hudson legion team while
still in college, and then I was
a graduate assistant at Sienna
Heights University. After that I
came here, and I have been here
for fve years.
Why is baseball so special to
you?
Baseball is a unique sport. It
is one of the few sports with-
out a clock. Your time doesnt
run out, but your outs do. It is
a great blend of individual and
team aspects. You cant just
give the ball to your best player.
Your best hitter cant be up all
of the time. It is truly a team
sport in that way, that everyone
has a chance and a responsibil-
ity, and every player is relied on
at some time. However, there is
also an individual competition
between the pitcher and the hit-
ter. It is a sport that stays true
to its roots, and it really teaches
the players to deal with failure.
What is it about Hillsdale ath-
letes that set them apart from
athletes at other schools?
Obviously the academic rig-
or here is hard to match. The
GLIAC is a very competitive
Division II conference. I would
say that they have to develop
incredible time management
skills. Being an athlete is a part-
time job at the very minimum.
This means that there isnt a lot
of time for leisure, especially at
a place with the academics of
Hillsdale.
How does this affect what you
look for in new recruits?
Good academics are one thing.
Overall the quality of a guys
character makes a big differ-
ence. We want guys that will
blend well here on campus and
that will blend well with the
team. We look for qualities
like hustle, selfessness, and
how good of a teammate they
are. We will even ask his cur-
rent teammates how good of a
teammate he is. We are really
looking for guys that will bring
the team together, and not draw
it apart.
What is being done right now
to prepare for the upcoming
season?
We are fnishing up fall ball.
The fall classic ends on Thurs-
day, and after that it is just small
group work up until Christmas
break.
What is happening with the
Halloween game this year?
That will be Sunday the 19th.
There are a lot of programs that
do it around the country. It can
be tough to do in the Midwest
because of weather, but as long
as that holds, we will get the
guys out there in their Hallow-
een costumes. Just give them
a chance to run around and be
kids.
Where did you get the idea
from?
I had seen it happening around
the country, and some coaches
that I knew were doing it. It
has been a really big thing for
southern schools the last few
years. Baseball is a kids game,
and this is a good way to be re-
minded of that.
Do you have any ideas as to
what costumes will be on the

Oh man, I really have no idea.

Its just going to have to be a
surprise.
What are the goals for the
team come spring?
Over the last couple of years,
we have really raised our expec-
tations. The guys have raised
their own expectations, and that
has been cool to see. I think it is
everybodys goal to get into the
GLIAC conference tournament.
Everybody knows that anything
can happen once youre in the
tournament. We just want to put
ourselves in a position where
we can get hot and have some
fun in the playoffs.
How would you describe your
style of motivation?
Ownership. I think that is the
best way to motivate. A big dif-
ference between students here
and at other places is that these
guys just have a high achieving
mindset being instilled in them
already. We give the guys some
freedom and some choice. We
encourage them to own the pro-
gram. They have some choice
in what we do, and I think that
goes a long way in increasing
the responsibility level. It is a
big motivator when they know
that it is theirs. We have a team
full of leaders, and they all take
ownership of the program. The
program is really starting to be-
come its own living thing. We
tell them all the time, it is their
team. The coaches are just here
to make sure that everything
runs smoothly and put the line-
up together.

TENNIS WRAPS UP SEASON
AIter playing three matches in
fve days, the Hillsdale women`s
tennis team`s Iall season came to
a close.
On Friday, Hillsdale Iaced the
highly regarded Northwood Uni-
versity team and Iell 8-1.
Despite the loss, the Chargers
made the Timberwolves work
Ior the victory. Senior Morgan
Delp and juniors Rachel Blaauw
and Lindsay Peirce all pushed
their opponents to three sets in
their singles matches.
'I was beyond happy with
the team and their eIIort, head
coach Nikki Walbright said. 'We
had extremely close doubles
matches and also three three-set
matches. Doing this against such
a strong team shows how com-
petitive we could be.
On Sunday, the team held its
fnal home match oI the season
against Saginaw Valley State
University. A key match Ior the
team, the Chargers were deIeated
5-4 in a hard Iought match.
'It was really competitive
and we had awesome eIIort Irom
everyone. UnIortunately, it just
didn`t go our way, Walbright
said.
Morgan Delp won her singles
match in a three set comeback,
and won her doubles match with
her sister, junior Sydney Delp,
pulling out a 9-8 victory.
As the fnal home match oI
the season, the team honored its
lone senior Morgan Delp Ior her
Iour years oI competing and cap-
taining the team.
'Looking back on my career,
that`s something that I take a lot
oI pride in: That we were the
team that never made it easy Ior
the other team, whether we won
or lost, Morgan Delp said. 'It
was always a fght.
On Tuesday evening, the
team competed in its fnal match
against Wayne State University.
The team suIIered an 8-1 loss,
bringing the season record to
3-9.
Although the team will not be
attending the GLIAC champion-
ship tournament this year, they
appreciate the competition and
challenges they have Iaced this
season.
'It`s great Ior the conIerence
that so many teams have stepped
up their game, junior Linsday
Peirce said. 'It gives us some-
thing to strive towards Ior next
season and will push us all to get
to the top.
Now the team looks Iorward
to the change oI pace oIIseason
brings, and continuing to im-
prove their game Ior the spring.
'We will be doing lots oI
training in the weight room and
on the court, as well as reviewing
match notes Irom the season,
Walbright said. '|We are| look-
ing to improve as much as we
can beIore spring.
Hillsdale College men`s golI
coach Mike Harner described
team play at the GLIAC GolI
Championship as 'fashes oI
brilliance.
The Hillsdale College golI
team traveled to Georgetown,
Kentucky Ior their fnal tourna-
ment oI the Iall season, held at
Cherry Blossom GolI Course.
The Chargers carded a three-
round score oI 940 (307-325-
308). The team fnished in 14th
place, beating out Lake Erie Col-
lege. TiIfn won the fIteen-team
tournament.
Senior co-captain Matt Chal-
berg fnished out the Iall season
once again as the team tourna-
ment low-scorer. Chalberg has
earned that distinction in each
event he played in this season.
This past weekend, he fn-
ished tied Ior 30th out oI 74. His
total tournament score oI 222 in-
cluded a frst round 70.
Junior Cole Benzing shot a
242 tournament score while be-
ing the second day low-scorer
Ior the Chargers.
Freshman Steve Sartore took
second Ior the team with a total
score oI 238. Freshman Ben Me-
ola and senior co-captain Brad
Mitzner shot tournament scores
oI 243 and 248, respectively.
Bad weather did not plague
the team in Kentucky as it has all
season. Though there was scat-
tered rain, players described it as
comIortable overall.
Benzing said playing in the
conIerence championships was
'a really good learning experi-
ence.
'It`s good to be playing com-
petitively again, Benzing said.
'There`s nothing like that adren-
aline rush on the frst tee. As
Michael Allen joked, where else
can you have that same Ieeling
and not be chased aIter or shot
at? It`s just Iun.
Michael Allen, a Champions
Tour player, visited Hillsdale last
week to assist the golI team in
preparation Ior the ConIerence
Championship.
Coach Harner said that the
best part oI the weekend was
a good last day oI play aIter a
'miserable second round.
'GolI is unIorgiving when
you make mistakes, but it`s
about how well you rebound.
I thought our guys rebounded
well, he said.
'I`m happy overall with the
perIormance oI the team. We
have talented players, but talent-
ed and tournament tested are two
diIIerent things, Harner said.
With the oIIseason upon
them, the team will play the frst
annual Charger Cup an inter-
squad-coaches Ryder Cup Ior-
mat match to 'settle matters oI
pride, according to Harner.
Captains Chalberg and
Mitzner will pick the teams Ior
this event.
'It is going to be 27 holes,
frst nine is best ball, next is al-
ternate shot with two-man teams,
and the fnal nine is match play.
It`s going to be sweet, Mitzner
explained.
In November, workouts will
emphasize strength and condi-
tioning, as well as fexibility. The
golI simulator is up and running
inside the Dawn Potter Arena,
which allows the team to tweak
their swings. Mitzner recently
played his frst 18 holes in the
simulator, which can tape swings
to be analyzed.
An oIt-repeated slogan this
season is 'the Iuture is bright.
Coach Harner admits that
'we have a ways to go and we
have people committed to that
process.
'We`re going to be a great
program and we`ve got a good
start, Harner said. '|The play-
ers| have put a lot oI work in and
they`ve shown lots oI improve-
ment. Everyone at the school can
be proud oI these guys.
Mitzner echoed Harner`s sen-
timent.
'Spring season we plan on
not just competing, but winning.
That`s our goal. Watch out Ior us
in the spring, he said.

VOLLEYBALL WINLESS OVER WEEKEND, 65 IN GLIAC PLAY
AIter the Chargers won the
frst set in Saturday`s game
against Ferris State University,
the Bulldogs pushed back, se-
curing a 3-1 victory. On Friday
night, the Grand Valley State
University Lakers showed them-
selves to be a Iormidable oppo-
nent, besting the Chargers 3-0.
The Ferris State Bulldogs are
the only team in the conIerence
since 2012 with a perIect record
against Hillsdale, but in no set
did this year`s team seem too
tough Ior the Chargers.
The Chargers snagged a 25-
18 win against them in the frst
set, the oIIense making 17 kills
and earning a .486 hitting per-
centage.
'Against Ferris I think we
played really confdently in the
frst set. We were able to side
out really quickly and shake oII
mistakes easily, said Ireshman
outside hitter Jessie Kopmeyer.
But the home team`s perIor-
mance dipped in the next three
sets, fnishing 25-13, 25-20, and
25-16 against the Bulldogs.
Junior setter Marissa Owen
attributed the losses not to the
Bulldogs` strength as a team as
much as the Chargers` somewhat
scattered play.
'What made it most diIfcult
was what happened on our side
oI the net, Owen said. 'We
could have perIormed better. I
didn`t Ieel that we were playing
our best.
DeIensively, the Chargers
collected more digs in this game
than in any other Iour-set contest
so Iar. Three players junior
Jordan Denmark, junior setter
Marissa Owen, and sophomore
libero Brittany Jandasek
made 15 or more.
Despite the dig-high, Jandas-
ek acknowledged that the Char-
gers struggled deIensively, but,
like Owen, she Ielt they were
capable oI more.
'Ferris had a strong oIIense,
but they weren`t too good Ior us
to dig, she said. 'We just have
to read things quicker and pick
up on signals that can help us
think ahead oI their oIIense.
On Friday night the Dawn
Potter Arena saw an opponent
that was hungry Ior conquest.
The Lakers came into Fri-
day`s game with a 9-0 season re-
cord. The 12th-ranked Division
II collegiate team in the nation,
one word comes to mind when
watching the Lakers: Control.
In the frst set, the Lakers
climbed to 20 points, while hold-
ing the Chargers to a mere six.
'Grand Valley has a really
strong oIIense, Kopmeyer said.
'They also played solid deIense
and were able to end long ral-
lies. They picked up a lot oI our
harder hits and were able to put
the ball down.
The Chargers played more
aggressively when they gained
the next 13 points interrupted by
only Iour points by the Lakers.
Junior Emily WolIert was
crucial in the 13-point run. She
led the Charger oIIense with nine
kills and scored two service aces.
Denmark made six kills with 9
digs and two service aces, and
Owen made 21 assists and seven
digs. Jandasek held the team-
high Ior digs at 17 and made sev-
eral clean passes oII oI diIfcult
serves.
The set ultimately went to the
Lakers, though, at 25-19. The
next sets were much like the frst,
with Laker serves and hits con-
sistently evading Charger return.
AIter the weekend, Hillsdale
holds a record oI 6-5 in GLIAC
play.
'Consistency has been our
biggest struggle, said Stepha-
nie Gravel, assistant volleyball
coach. 'We have great oIIense
and deIense. It`s putting it all
together consistently at key
moments. We`re always striving
to work on consistency in prac-
tice so that it will roll over into
the matches.
This weekend, the volleyball
team will travel to the Great
Lakes Center in Aurora, Illinois
to play teams Irom the the Great
Lakes Valley ConIerence in the
annual Crossover tournament. II
the Chargers land in the top eight
teams oI the tournament, they
may have a shot to travel to re-
gionals later in the season.

'It`s one oI the greatest pieces
oI Shakespeare because it in-
cludes everything, senior Julie
Finke said.
'Except a shipwreck, senior
Maran McLeod said, smiling.
The pair are co-directing this
year`s Shakespeare in the Arb
production oI 'Cymbeline.
Though many on Hillsdale`s
campus were in-
troduced to 'Cym-
beline Ior the
frst time through
last week`s audi-
tions, the directors`
journey to the play
began at the end
oI last semester.
Finke and McLeod
read through Iour
or fve other plays
over the summer
beIore choosing
it, and then spent
seven hours cut-
ting the play to
make it doable Ior a
spring production.
'Cymbeline is
Shakespeare`s third-longest play,
Iollowing 'Hamlet and 'Corio-
lanus.
'It`s a great play that just
doesn`t get put on a lot because
oI its length, McLeod said.
The women were drawn to
the play because, unlike many
Shakespeare plays which seem
to Iall clearly into one dramatic
category tragedy or comedy
'Cymbeline doesn`t, though
Shakespeare himselI considered
it a tragedy.
'Cymbeline, like most oI
Shakespeare`s plays, has a laby-
rinthine plotline, and a cast Iull
oI characters whose names are
as colorIul as the language they
speak. A play synopsis alludes
to the whole range oI human ex-
perience sorrow, humor, de-
ception, Iraud, headlessness, the
heights oI love and the depths oI
despair. A Shakespearean trope,
even crossdressing makes an ap-
pearance.
Finke and McLeod have
dreamed oI directing a Shake-
speare in the Arb since they were
Ireshman Ior Finke, even be-
Iore.
'I love Shakespeare, and I
love the arb, and the two oI them
put together is one oI the main
reasons I chose to come to Hills-
dale, she said. 'So this is a very
big dream.
Finke said her
acting experience
beIore Hillsdale
was limited but
deeply enjoyable.
A tradition in her
Iamily was to
send the children,
once they were
old enough, to the
Cincinnati Shake-
speare Company`s
summer camp.
Finke attended the
camp fve times,
and there discov-
ered her love both
Ior Shakespeare
and acting.
In Iact, another
Hillsdale student and Shake-
speare-in-the-Arb devotee, se-
nior Sean Kunath, met Finke
at the Cincinnati camp and has
since auditioned Ior the arb pro-
duction every year, including
'Cymbeline last week, in which
he will play the Roman Philario.
'What`s beautiIul about
Shakespeare is there are so many
diIIerent ways to interpret and
perIorm it that don`t seem pres-
ent in modern plays, Kunath
said.
McLeod`s exposure to the
arts has been liIelong, beginning
when she was small, with ballet
and opera. McLeod perIormed
with the Los Angeles Children`s
Chorus in 'Hansel and Gretel
and 'The Damnation oI Faust,
and has since practiced panto-
mime through ballet.
When Finke and McLeod
acted in 'A Midsummer Night`s
Dream their Ireshman year, they
discovered they shared a dream
oI directing. Finally, that dream
is becoming a reality Ior the two
Iriends with 'Cymbeline.
Like Finke, sophomore Dani
Morey was drawn to Hillsdale
because oI the theater. Morey
visited the college and watched
the theater department`s produc-
tion oI 'Cymbeline. From that
moment, she knew that she want-
ed both to come to Hillsdale and
to act in 'Cymbeline. someday.
Last Saturday, Morey was cast
as Imogen, the play`s heroine.
Morey said she`s intrigued by the
play because it has, 'all oI the
Shakespeare plot points thrown
into one.

McCafferv, student columnist
What impact has Image
journal had on our artistic
culture in its 25 years? What`s
different, and what does the fu-
ture look like for religious art
and Christian Humanism?
You put me in a diIfcult posi-
tion. It`s always tricky trying to
take credit Ior cultural change!
One thing I`ve come to realize
is that Image has been part oI a
larger social phenomenon: a re-
action against what I would call
'militant secularism. Since the
late 1980s there has been a grad-
ual decrease in the censorship oI
the religious imagination by cul-
tural gatekeepers (think the New
York Times, etc.).
Our purpose in Iounding Im-
age was to showcase the work we
suspected was still being created:
world-class literature and art that
grappled honestly with the an-
cient Iaith traditions oI the West.
The irony is that when we began
many religious Iolk as well as
secular intellectuals agreed that
such work was a thing oI the past.
We made a conscious eIIort
to put up our shingle on the pub-
lic square and not do what many
conservative eIIorts have done
withdraw into a Iortress and
blast away at 'decadance. That
means we created a journal that
could take its place side by side
with the New Yorker and Paris
Review. We went to the conIer-
ences and conventions. And we
were not only accepted but wel-
comed.
The more dramatic impact
we`ve had is within the commu-
nity oI believers. When we began
many oI the IaithIul put all their
stock in apologetics and politics.
We have consistently argued that
this is an imbalance: that reason
must be balanced by imagination.
What was
your aca-
demic career
like at Hills-
dale? What
was your
experi ence
with publish-
ing and art
on campus?
In the late
1970s Hill-
sdale had
only begun
to transIorm
Irom a sleepy,
p r o v i n c i a l
college to the
powerhouse
it is today.
But I took
Iull advantage
oI the good
things that
had become
available, such as taking classes
with visiting proIessors like Rus-
sell Kirk and Gerhart Niemeyer.
I also loved the CCA seminars
and drove many speakers to and
Irom the airport in Detroit, giving
me valuable exposure to major
thinkers.
I wrote op-eds Ior the Colle-
gian and edited the Tower Light.
I even started a national quar-
terly called the Hillsdale Review
when I was a sophomore. It was
Iounded to publish writing by
young, traditionalist conserva-
tives. Eventually we got over a
thousand subscribers. The HR
lasted about eight years.
Does a deep appreciation
for and understanding of clas-
sical literature preclude a full
embrace of modern and post-
modern art?
How does
art produced
by a secu-
lar culture
touch on
Christian or-
thodoxy?
Not at all.
In Iact, quite
the opposite.
T.S. Eliot
and Flannery
O` Co n n o r ,
both pro-
I o u n d l y
c o n s e r v a -
tive, wrote
uns e l I c on-
sciously in
highly mod-
ern styles.
Unlike mere
reactionaries,
who think we
can turn back the clock, conser-
vatives have always known that
change is the nature oI human liIe
and that outward Iorms can and
must change to preserve ancient
truths. Eliot argued that unless
we Iully engage with the art oI
our own time we actually begin
to lose a Iull sense oI the classi-
cal tradition which is another
way oI saying that without a liv-
ing tradition, the past becomes
distorted and distant.
What advice do you have for
Hillsdale students who come
out of school similarly disillu-
sioned with ideological conser-
vatism? How can academic and
artistic endeavors inuence the
political climate?
Never let political and eco-
nomic expediency cause you
to go along with rhetoric and
ideology which you Ieel to be
dangerous and harmIul to the
public good. II you cannot fnd
organizations and publications
that speak Ior the deeper mean-
ing oI conservatism, then create
your own. Power, wealth, and
Iame are temptations Ior conser-
vatives, just like anyone else. Be
willing to deIend truths that are
more subtle and nuanced than the
ideological simplifcations es-
poused by others, even iI doing
so leaves you fnancially poorer
and Ieeling marginalized. II your
vision is honest and true, others
will be attracted to it and your
witness will have an impact.
You devote a lot of space in
Beauty Will Save the World to
Catholicism and its inuence
on the art of the 20th century.
What has been the Protes-
tant contribution to American
Christian art over the last cen-
tury?
To be Iair, oI the thirteen art-
ists and writers I discuss at length
in that book in separate chapters,
seven oI them are not Catholic!
In the last halI-century,
American Protestants have expe-
rienced a sense oI renewal and re-
engagement with literature and
the arts. The evangelical com-
munity in particularat least the
more intellectual end oI ithas
undergone something oI a revo-
lution in this regard. Evangeli-
cals have been and remain one oI
the most active constituencies in
the Image community and many
evangelical institutions, such as
Wheaton, Calvin, Messiah, and
Gordon Colleges (to name a Iew)
have made signifcant contribu-
tions to scholarship and activism
in the arts.
One only has to look at a
list oI writers like the Iollow-
ing to see many frst-rate writers
Irom a Protestant background in
our time: Marilynne Robinson,
Frederick Buechner, Christian
Wiman, Kathleen Norris, Anne
Lamott, Jeremy Begbie, Bret
Lott, and Jeanne Murray Walker.

The gentle cadences oI a soItly
singing male voice, accompanied
by a guitar`s simple strum, wove
through the crowded room. From
his perch on a chair, the singer
teased a lilting melody Irom the
instrument on his lap, sending a
living thread oI sound among the
youthIul, raptly attentive Iaces oI
thirty listening students crowded
on couches and scattered about
on the foor. Though none pres-
ent realized it at the time, the
scene oI music and Iellowship
shared by visiting poet Wilmer
Hastings Mills with the students
at the 62 Park St. 'Donnybrook
oII-campus house that night in
2010 would come to epitomize
both the purpose and history oI
the English department`s Visiting
Writers Program.
ProIessor oI English Daniel
Sundahl established the program
in the late 1980s as a way to allow
students to interact directly with
contemporary poets and authors.
Since that time, writers including
Paul Mariani, B.H. Fairchild, and
Dennis Covington have come to
campus Ior two-day visits every
year to share their craIt in work-
shops, classes, lectures, or public
readings.
In the 1990s, Sundahl passed
responsibility Ior the program to
Assistant ProIessor oI English
John Somerville, who still heads
it today. For both men, Mills` vis-
it to the Donnybrook represented
the unique quality oI the personal
interaction between writer and
students that was the original
purpose oI Hillsdale`s Visiting
Writers Program.
'What happened that night
when he went to the Don-
nybrook, to me is the ideal,
Somerville said. 'I want |writers`
visits| to be as much as possible
an opportunity Ior the students
to spend time with these writers
at these inIormal, more intimate
gatherings. By all accounts it was
a miraculous evening.
Sundahl`s value oI such in-
teractions led him to begin the
program in the frst place. In the
1980s, when a pool oI money
became available Ior use in the
college`s fne arts programs, Sun-
dahl made sure to join the com-
mittee Iormed to decide how to
allocate the Iunds.
'II music gets visiting musi-
cians, we should have visiting
writers, he said.
He received a small amount
oI money and the program was
born. At frst, Sundahl could only
aIIord to bring one writer to cam-
pus Ior a two-day visit each year.
Czeslaw Milosz, a Lithuanian
poet and Nobel Prize Winner,
was the program`s frst guest. AI-
ter the success oI that earliest vis-
it, Sundahl then began building
up the program. During the next
Iew years, he hosted well-known
poet Paul Mariani oI Boston Col-
lege and organized a Center Ior
Constructive Alternatives on
American Literature that brought
several other visiting writers to
Hillsdale. Both decisions helped
establish the program`s credibil-
ity on campus.
Sundahl`s increasing duties
during the 1990s, including the
task oI establishing the Dow
Journalism Program, Iorced
him to turn the program over to
Somerville.
'It is his program, and he has
done such a marvelous, marvel-
ous job, Sundahl said oI Somer-
ville. 'He has almost brought it to
the point oI perIection.
Somerville leaped at the op-
portunity to lead the program. He
said he has enjoyed almost every
minute oI his 20 years doing the
job. Despite the hard work, he
would never give up the respon-
sibility.
'One reason I haven`t turned
this over to someone else is I
want to make sure to keep bring-
ing people I like, he said with a
laugh. 'Writers I`ve read that I
really like and that I want to share
with our students and Iaculty.
He has seen the program grow
in diIIerent ways over the years.
'We have more money now
than we did when I frst started,
Somerville said. 'For a number
oI years I could only aIIord one
|writer| a year, and then recently
it`s been possible to bring one
each semester.
According to Somerville, in-
viting writers to visit an oII-cam-
pus house Ior a night oI Iellow-
ship with students, without any
Iaculty present, has now become
a tradition and a highlight oI ev-
ery visiting writers` stay. It ex-
emplifes what the program has
come to mean to Hillsdale over
the years.
'It brings people who want to
spend time with the students, not
just come in and out, Sundahl
said.
About a year aIter Mills
played guitar and sang at the
Donnybrook, the poet died oI
cancer, but his memory lives on
in the continued intimate interac-
tions between writer and student
that the Visiting Writers Pro-
gram engenders. According to
Somerville, Mills` death greatly
impacted the Hillsdale students
who had known him. Their genu-
ine Ieeling at his passing Iurther
maniIests the meaningIul infu-
ence the program enables visiting
writers to have on the college`s
students.
'I think there`s a lot oI value
in just going to a lecture and
hearing someone give a pre-
meditated talk or lecture on their
work, and iI you know the au-
thor it`s really cool to have them
shake your hand and sign your
book, but it really accesses diI-
Ierent angles oI them as people
instead oI just writers when they
come to an oII-campus house and
someone hands them the guitar
and they start playing a song,
junior Forester McClatchey said.
McClatchey has kept in corre-
spondence with a number oI the
visiting writers.
Looking to the program`s Iu-
ture, Somerville is confdent that
the program will continue to live
up to its history oI bringing stu-
dents and writers together. As
long as students desire to learn,
listen, and connect with writers
such as Mills, the program`s im-
pact will only strengthen.
Markel Auditorium has al-
ready hosted world Iamous pia-
nist Andreas Klein and the cel-
ebrated Iolk band Rani Arbo &
daisy mahem this semester. This
weekend, the Hillsdale College
Orchestra perIorms, adding their
presence to the stage.
The Symphony Orchestra will
perIorm three intensive move-
ments Saturday at 9 p.m. and
Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets Ior Sun-
day`s concert are still available
through the Sage Box OIfce, and
there is a waitlist Ior tickets made
available by no-shows Ior the
Saturday perIormance.
The concert will begin with
Beethoven`s 'Fidelio Overture,
Iollowed by Brahms`s 'Varia-
tions on a Theme by Haydn.
Mussorgsky`s 'Pictures at an Ex-
hibition will conclude the per-
Iormance.
Orchestra Director James
Holleman, considers 'Pictures at
an Exhibition to be most excit-
ing because oI its Iamiliarity to
audience members. The compo-
sition has the largest collection
oI winds, brass and percussion
among the three. It also includes
auxiliary and bass clarinet, con-
tra bassoon, piccolo, English
horn, E-fat tuba, saxophone, alto
saxophone, harp, and many other
instruments.
'It`s probably the most shiny,
glitzy piece. Holleman said.
'People know it and it`s exciting.
I think that`s probably the head-
line, the longest piece.
Student perIormers are equal-
ly excited about the piece. Senior
Hannah Taylor has played oboe
in the orchestra Ior Iour years.
'It`s very colorIul, and there`s
a lot oI potential Ior energy,
Taylor said.
Conor Woodfn, a sophomore
trumpet player, also fnds this
piece to be most exciting and diI-
Ierent.
'It Ieatures a lot oI brass and
woodwinds. Woodfn said. In
the earlier years oI composi-
tion, trumpets did not have all oI
the capabilities they have now,
Woodfn explained. Because
Mussorgsky lived in the 19th
century, he was able to write
compositions Ior trumpets with
higher capabilities. This, in com-
bination with the large amount
oI exposed parts and solos, leads
Woodfn to believe it is the most
challenging song.
While 'Pictures at an Exhibi-
tion may be the most exhilarat-
ing piece, Holleman believes that
the Brahms composition is more
musically challenging. While
'Pictures at an Exhibition is
very romantic in nature, allow-
ing Ior obvious contrasts and big
eIIects, the Brahms has provided
an opportunity to grow as an en-
semble.
'That`s been a real nice piece
Ior the strings, the woodwinds,
and the horns to really Iocus on
some really subtle expressive
techniques. Holleman said.
Taylor plays frst oboe in this
piece, and she agrees that the
subtleness increases diIfculty.
'A lot oI musicality goes into
it. Part oI the job oI playing frst
is listening well and leading,
Taylor said.
Though the Beethoven over-
ture may be the simplest piece,
Holleman said that it will prepare
the orchestra to play a more chal-
lenging Beethoven piece in the
spring concert: 'Leonore Three.
The piece, an additional overture
to the same 'Fidelio Opera, is
over twice as long as the frst
overture and signifcantly more
challenging.
'When we do Leonore
Three,` a lot oI the same melo-
dies, a lot oI the same motives
are going to come back and it`s
going to be recognizable to us,
Holleman said.
The Saturday night perIor-
mance was sold out several
weeks beIore the show, Ruth
Sanders said. Sanders is in charge
oI Sage Center Ior the Arts box
oIfce ticket distribution. The
Sunday perIormance still has
available seats, but they may also
sell out.
Sanders asks that people re-
member the limited capacity oI
the auditorium, and consider
calling or emailing to cancel their
reservation iI they can no longer
attend a perIormance so that oth-
ers can attend.
Lois Lane`s naivete when
it comes to the swoon-worthy
Clark Kent`s real identity was
frst introduced to the American
public back in 1938, and it`s still
talked about today.
We care not because she`s so
pathetically unaware Ior a jour-
nalist, but because she`s never
too Iar removed Irom our society.
Since the 30s, the Man oI
Steel`s strong jaw line and bil-
lowing red cape have fown
across the big screen at least once
every Iew years or so: he and his
Iellow superheroes have aged tre-
mendously well.
But how are they still so popu-
lar, some may ask, seeing that Ior
decades, these superhero movies
have pretty much all had versions
oI the same storyline: the kind,
pathetic underdog builds himselI
up, becomes almost a hero, loses
a minor battle, but then kicks the
crap out oI the bad guy at the cli-
max. And oI course, you can`t
Iorget the inevitable smooch be-
tween the hero and the quirky, but
super-hot chick who believed in
him Irom the beginning.
People know this storyline
by heart, yet it will continue to
smash the box oIfce -- like the
Hulk smashes everything else
-- because its popularity comes
Irom the Iact that it gives us an
escape Irom our ever-graying re-
ality and an entrance into a black
and white Iantasy.
In reality, 'good and 'bad
motives, actions, people...They
have this annoying way oI blend-
ing together and Iorming an
amorphous-like solution: a gross
gray clump that cannot be suc-
cessIully simplifed or separated
out. It`s close to impossible to de-
fne anyone or anything as com-
pletely good or completely bad.
Black and white doesn`t seem to
exist in the real world.
But humans want to defne
things, separate them, fle them
away, keep them there. We like
black and white.
Today, our gray world includes
this war on terrorism. This war is
the absolute grayest oI gray.
In World War I, there were the
villifable Axis powers. In World
War II, there was true evil with
the Nazis. In the Cold War, the
Russians sucked! But today...
terrorism. yeah, he`s an evil..
guy? thing? religion?
It scares us. We want a bad
guy one that we know is 100
percent bad. One that can be fg-
ured out, solved, destroyed: the
Green Goblin, Dr. Doom, Loki,
the Red Skull.
Following this notion, the
deep roots that these xeroxed sto-
rylines have in American cinema-
tography show that human nature
isn`t lost aIter all.
Yes, corruption in this world
has boomed as Iast as technol-
ogy did during Clinton`s time in
oIfce, but the popularity oI these
continual remakes and sequels
show that people still have a
deeper yearning Ior morality. We
still want 'good. We want Peter
Parker to win. We need Thor to
liIt his hammer again. We want
Bucky to remember his old pal
Steve and return to the good side.
Superhero movies are black
and white, cookie-cutter clean,
unambiguous. They are the good
guys versus the bad guys with the
good guys always singing 'We
are the Champions in the end.
It seems weird that we`d want
a bad guy, but a defnite enemy
with a defnite means oI deIeat
is always better than an ominous
one we don`t seem to know how
to solve. That`s why Marvel`s
2012 hit 'The Avengers still
holds the record Ior largest open-
ing weekend at a whopping $207
billion. That`s why we`ll contin-
ue to pay up to $17 to watch the
next big superhero in 3D every
Iew months. We can`t get enough
oI these mask-wearing, costume-
clad, superhuman fgures tri-
umphing over evil.
I`m not going to sit here and
attempt to color-code this war
and our world with you- you can
do that on your Friday evening.
I`m just saying all this gray is
hard on the human brain. Excuse
me while I catch the 7:30 p.m.
showing oI X-Men.

When did you get to know
Greg Wolfe and begin writing
for Image Magazine?
McGraw: I had published
my frst book beIore I ever met
Greg. I was writing a lot oI sto-
ries about Catholicism, and I was
not fnding the world`s easiest
market. When I heard that this
guy had showed up on the scene
and was putting together a maga-
zine about religion and the arts, I
thought Wow, this sounds like a
guy who`d be interested in what
I`m doing and just someone who
I`d want to know. He`s gotta
share some interests with me.` So
I wrote to him asking iI he`d like
to see my work beIore the maga-
zine even existed, when it was
still in its prototype Iorm, and he
said, woah, you`re a little ahead
oI the gun here.` But we got into
a correspondence and then when
the magazine was looking Ior
work, I sent him things, and we
became Iriends.
As you`re writing, where do
you see the intersection of art
and religion?
McGraw: Well, frst oI all,
my patron saint on this, which
would be true Ior a lot oI writ-
ers is Flannery O`Conner, would
be very clear about how the real
artist must never attempt to bend
the truth in order to ft some pre-
conceived mold oI what religion
wants or requires oI us. Our frst
responsibility is to the truth, al-
ways. I think that`s about a bil-
lion percent true and is ignored
much too much. That`s really
important. It`s easy to fnd good
writing that is comIorting Ior a
day. And that`s not something
that I`m very interested in read-
ing or writing. I`m interested in
reading and writing things that
might make me uncomIortable,
but that illuminates things and
makes me think.
Who are some of your big-
gest inuences as a writer?
Hudgins: It varies widely
Irom what I`m thinking about
at any particular moment: Rob-
ert Frost, Shakespeare, John
Milton, Chaucer a lot, the King
James Bible, Robert Lowell,
Emily Dickinson I don`t think
I`m not sure I`m necessarily in-
fuenced by her, but I sure have
spent a lot oI time thinking about
her and William Butler Yates,
all those biggies. And lately I`ve
been thinking more and more
about Wallace Stevens.
You mentioned the King
1ames Bible, has that inu-
enced you more in terms of
style or content of your poetry?
Hudgins: A little bit the con-
tent, but mostly the style. Just
the awareness oI language oI the
subject matter, and the attitudes
behind it, with a sort oI neo-pla-
tonism, or platonism, is clear as a
bell. I grew up hearing that read
to me by preachers and by my
Iather, so those are the kinds oI
rhythms that you` hit pretty deep.
It`s a massive infuence on Eng-
lish and American literature.
As you`re writing, how to
you go about portraying de-
pravity and the existence of
God`s grace, as you do ~Com-
munion in the Asylum?
Hudgins: Well, with that one,
I had simply met an episcopal
priest who did that as part oI

How would you describe the
style of music that you play?
Every songwriter loves Ior
people to actually hear the music
and respond to it without a lot oI
preconceived notions but that be-
ing said, I have always thought
oI Karen as a soul singer. She
sings Irom the place where her
pain lives like all soul singers. I
like voices that come Irom deep
places. Loosely, we would be
considered an Americana band.
I think we oIten Iorget about the
kind oI music that can only hap-
pen in America. Johnny Cash
could have never happened in
Italy it`s kind oI the messiness
oI America and the contradic-
tions oI America that create these
pregnant places where music can
happen that couldn`t happen any-
where else. I think we`re prod-
ucts too oI growing up in little
churches around gospel music,
so that was kind oI in the water.
Americana is a genre which
many associate with ~authen-
ticity. What do you think it
means to create authentic mu-
sic?
Authenticity not trying to
be something that you`re not
that`s a little bit tricky when it
comes to careers in the arts and
so Iorth. I think when we frst
started oII Karen and I were a
little embarrassed by our small
town rootslittle no name times
in Ohiomy Iather was a min-
ister at a little protestant church
by the railroad tracks. At some
point a transition happens where
you realize your particular story
is really the only giIt you`re giv-
en. You can`t borrow somebody
else`s story, you have to work
with your own, even iI it`s a little
unwieldy. So we eventually em-
braced that and realized there
was this rich past to draw Irom,
all oI the stuII in these coal min-
ing towns that we wouldn`t have
seen iI we`re growing up in New
York City or something like that.
You also discover that you`ve
stepped into a story already in
process, like what was going on
in my mom and dad`s liIe when
they were kids had a huge impact
on where I ended up, and any-
way you learn to own that stuII
and it becomes incredibly Iertile
ground Ior a writer. So Ior me,
authenticity starts by embracing
your own story and past.
You and Karen got mar-
ried seven years after Over
the Rhine was founded. What
kinds of challenges did that
create for the band?
Well, we were a little bit ter-
rifed that we would lose our
objectivity as artists and collabo-
rators iI we were romantically
entangled and in a committed
relationship, but I can assure you
that that has not happened. We
both have continued to trust each
other as editors, and we both
value the other`s opinion greatly;
Karen has no problem whatso-
ever with telling me that some-
thing is not my best work. I think
we realized that we were tend-
ing two gardens, our career and
our marriage, and both required
creativity and care. II we didn`t
water one Ior too long, there`s no
way it could survive, so we had
to fgure out how to take care oI
both. But it`s an interesting di-
lemma, and it`s not Ior the Iaint
oI heart. Make sure you get that
in there, it`s important.
Can you talk a little about
the stories you tell in your
songs?
I think most oI our songs, Ior
good or Ior ill, do end up be-
ing a bit more personal in na-
ture. There are characters in our
songs, but what we hope is that
when we capture a moment con-
vincingly in our own lives that
other people can lay the transpar-
ency oI their own liIe on the song
and fnd points oI intersection, so
it`s not about us necessarily, but
it`s more about opening a real
conversation with the listener
and sort oI inviting them into
the conversation with the idea
that 'this is where I am, what do
you think about this? I think it`s
more about the stories that we all
share.
Do other forms of art inu-
ence your creative process?
Very, very much so. When I
was a young songwriter people
would ask Ior my musical infu-
ences, and without realizing it I
would usually name authors or
visual artists. There`s something
about getting out oI your dis-
cipline as somebody in the arts
that can really make sparks fy in
terms oI fnding nourishment or
creativity. Ten years ago, Karen
and I moved out oI the city to a
hideaway Iarm in southern Ohio
that Ielt like it was lost in time.
Some authors, like Wendell Bar-
ry, fnd a particular place that re-
ally infuences their work and I
think that`s happening with us.
That`s an idea that I like, anyway.

Winona: Hillsdale princess
'Well iI you don`t like it, why
don`t you kill me?
And Winona Baw Beese
plunged the kniIe deep into her
husband`s heart.
Winona was brought to the
center oI the village, where her Ia-
ther, mumbling and chanting spiri-
tual hymns, bound his daughter to
a tall pole.
As day crept toward night, el-
ders stacked wood around the sob-
bing Winona`s Ieet as members
oI the tribe gathered to watch the
fnal hours oI their chieI`s only
remaining child. When ChieI
Baw Beese arrived, the fre had
engulIed Winona`s legs and risen
to her chest. As the fre consumed
her body, Baw Beese drew his
kniIe and carved a cross, matching
the one hanging around her neck,
into his daughter`s head.
'It was tragic, but it was the
way oI the Indians; kind oI a Ham-
murabi`s code, an eye Ior an eye,
said June Roche, a city resident Ior
over 40 years.
In the 1800s, ChieI Baw Beese
ruled over the Algonquin Tribe oI
Hillsdale County and Iathered two
daughters, Winona and Waunetta,
who both died Ior breaking tribal
laws.
'Indian law was strict, and
there were consequences, said
Dan Bisher, historian and author
oI 'Faded Memories, a book on
the pioneer period oI Hillsdale.
Winona`s death resulted Irom
her troubled liIe oI domestic vio-
lence. The princess was in love
with her cousin, Ashtewette, who
is immortalized in Ashtewette
Drive, oII Baw Beese Lake. Incest
violated Indian law, so Winona`s
love Ior her cousin had to end.
Instead oI Ashtewette, Winona
married a Negnaska, an alcoholic
who squandered the couple`s f-
nances and beat Winona in the
midst oI his drunken stupors.
'Winona is really Hillsdale`s
frst battered woman, Roche said.
Roche petitioned Hillsdale`s
Battered Womens Shelter to use
Winona`s persona as a symbol Ior
both historical signifcance and
the society`s commitment to pre-
venting domestic violence.
Baw Beese gave his daughter a
cream-colored pony as a wedding
giIt, a horse she loved, and was
Iurious when she discovered her
husband traded it Ior more alco-
hol during a trip to Indiana, which
provoke Winona to murder him.
AIter Winona`s burning, her
Iather buried her three miles south
oI Baw Beese Lake, still within
Hillsdale County limits.
In 1902, Flem Daily, a local
Iarmer, discovered the remains
oI a human girl during a renova-
tion oI his Iarm and reported it to
a doctor.
'They just dumped all the piec-
es oI the body, plus artiIacts, into
a burlap sack, and hauled it into
town, Bisher said.
Considering the age, body
type, the location oI the burial,
means oI death, and the silver
cross draped around the victim`s
neck, the Iacts led the doctor to
believe the body was Winona.
Her frst resting place was a city
government building, but due to
the educational signifcance oI the
body, Winona`s remains were put
on display in local Paul Revere
School.
For reasons unknown, the
school`s janitor discarded the re-
mains out to the back oI the school,
piled them up, and watched the
bones burn Ior their second time.
Eventually the Paul Revere
School converted to the Fayette
Building, making the fnal rest-
ing place oI ChieI Baw Beese`s
daughter on Hillsdale College
property.
'Not only did we kick ChieI
Baw Besse`s tribe out oI the coun-
ty, but we desecrated his daugh-
ter`s grave and threw her in the
trash, Bisher said.
The Fayette Building is now a
storage building Ior the Hillsdale
College.
Baw Beese`s other daughter,
Waunetta, met a similar end. She
was madly in love with a French-
man who lived in the area, and aI-
ter a long courtship, they decided
to wed. The Frenchman was a
Christian, and he convinced his
Indian love to solicit a priest Ior
the wedding.
On his journey to fnd the near-
est priest, the Frenchman was at-
tacked by a bear and killed. Wau-
netta sunk into a deep depression.
Waunetta walked to what is
now Winona Lake and did what
many other Indian girls who lost
their loves were known to do
she tied rocks to her arms, legs,
and hands, and leapt oII a boat into
the center oI the lake.
The memory oI Winona, Wau-
netta, and ChieI Baw Beese infl-
trate Hillsdale County in the Iorm
oI roads, lakes, and even Hillsdale
College publications and events,
including the Winona yearbook
Ior College students.
'I think there should be some
sort oI memorial Ior Winona at the
Fayette Building, Roche added.
'Even a snow angel in the winter
would do, just something to re-
member her by.

success to what he learned aI-
ter transIerring to Hillsdale.
'The economic and busi-
ness education, even the poli-
tics side, gave me the ability
to analyze economies, trends,
and societies, to fgure out what
makes people upset, and what
people will fght Ior, Prince
said.
The college`s celebration oI
Iree-market principles appealed
to Prince, culminating in an
economics major and politi-
cal science minor. He enjoyed
reading the Austrians and their
passion Ior limited government
intervention.
Prince took the Foundations
oI the American Government
course, similar to the Constitu-
tion 101 course the college cur-
rently oIIers.
'He knew a lot about poli-
tics coming in, said ProIessor
oI Politics Mickey Craig who
had Prince in his student. 'Erik
had a good sense oI humor, but
a serious purpose in liIe.
Former Hillsdale proIessor
Aleksandras Shtromas inspired
Prince. A Lithuanian, Shtromas
was imprisoned during the Nazi
occupation oI Lithuania and
then became a Soviet critic and
was exiled during the Cold War.
Shtromas went to law school
with Mikhail Gorbachev. He
died in 1999.
'Hearing Shtromas talk
about the politics oI the Soviet
Union, the inner circle, and the
Politburo, knowing many oI
the people that were there was
a phenomenal insight into that
major part oI world history,
Prince said.
His love oI world history
inspired travel. Today Prince
lives in the Middle East, con-
ducts business in AIrica, and,
between his career as a Navy
SEAL and Blackwater CEO,
has visited seemingly every
corner oI the world.
While a Hillsdale student,
Prince served as a volunteer
frefghter at the Hillsdale City
Fire Department and a rescue
diver Ior the SheriII`s Depart-
ment.
'When he frst came on, he
was the frst one to ever show
any interest, Deputy Fire
ChieI Kevin Pauken said. 'Un-
less you go back to the horse
and buggy days oI frefghting,
there had never been any col-
lege students on the department
|beIore Prince|.
Prince`s interest in the Fire
Department was initially met
with tension. The other fre-
fghters initially thought oI him
as a 'snot-nosed college kid,
he said.
'I learned to be a leader by
frst learning to be a Iollower,
Prince said. 'To convince them
that I wanted to join the fre
department, I had to earn their
confdence. I was always the
last one rolling up hoses while
the other volunteers would sit
back and crack open a drink aI-
ter a call. I learned to relate to
those guys better, which helped
me to better relate to enlisted
guys going through BUDS |Ba-
sic Underwater Demolition/
SEAL training| and the SEAL
teams.
'You have to love what
you`re going to try, Prince
said. 'It`s going to consume
your time and your mind and
your passions. Doing it out oI
college is a good idea, because
you`re generally single, unat-
tached. And iI it works, great!
II not, there`s always the couch
at your mom and dad`s house
or at your buddy`s house you
could sleep on. So there`s not
that Iar you can crash.
Prince said the best thing
Hillsdale can do is 'pluck kids
out oI their suburbia experience
when they come to Hillsdale.
'II they can send them
abroad Ior a semester or a year,
I would highly encourage that,
he said. 'You just see how an-
other society operates. What
they fnd important, what works
well, what doesn`t work well.
It makes you appreciate cer-
tain parts oI America and gives
you an idea oI what works and
doesn`t work in societies.
Although Prince has proved
successIul in the business
world, he continues to pursue
education, a passion he encour-
ages to students maintain.
'Focus on learning, reading,
and devouring inIormation,
Prince said.
not WolIram`s frst encounter
with the delicacy.
'I won a race in the state oI
Washington, and iI you won, you
got so much buIIalo meat. I got a
bunch oI buIIalo meat. It was just
a little 10K race, put on by a buI-
Ialo restaurant, WolIram said.
Daniels decided to purchase
the ranch when he Iound out
Childs planned to close the ranch.
'My kids came here beIore
I bought it. My wiIe Dana and
I, we talked it over and thought,
there aren`t too many places leIt
like this,` Daniels said. 'We kept
it running Ior my kids and other
peoples` kids.
Daniels said the biggest
change his Iamily made to the
property was making it more
Iamily Iriendly. The Iamily re-
did the barns and Iencing, and is
currently in the process oI reno-
vating more Iencing. They added
19 horses to the property, increas-
ing the number Irom 22 to 41 Ior
horseback riding.
'Horseback riding is our main
source oI income. They are the
ones that support the ranch, he
said.
When the Daniels Iamily took
over the herd, there were 27 buI-
Ialo.
'We went to a smaller herd
so we could stay in business. It
costs a lot to get hay. The price al-
most tripled in price. We decided
it would easier on us to aIIord a
smaller herd, rather than lose it
all, Daniels said. 'For the last
couple oI years the price oI hay
went Irom $20 a bail to almost
$100 at one time. We are making
provisions and adding Iencing in
diIIerent areas and we will bring
the herd back up.
The largest bison the ranch had,
Max, was put down a Iew months
ago. He weighed 4,000 pounds,
was 7 Ieet tall at his hump, and
measured 35 inches between the
horns. His son, Big Daddy, who
Iought Ior dominance oI the herd
and won, then pushed him out oI
the herd. Max wasn`t receiving
proper nutrition and had to be laid
down. The BuIIalo Ranch sells
Max`s meat, which is expected to
last Ior a year`s supply.
'BuIIalo are aggressive by na-
ture, McGarry said. 'They fght
with their heads fat on the ground
and push each other back and
Iorth.
Daniels bought the BuIIalo
Ranch without any prior bison-
raising experience, and said it is
very hard to own and control the
animals.
'They`re not like a cow. They
are still a wild animal, Daniels
said.
Only a Iew weeks remain to
discover the BuIIalo Ranch this
season, beIore it closes in ear-
ly November. It will reopen in
March.

'Amidst many distractions
brought beIore him by his
active nature, he disciplined

Arnn said. 'Hans was ener-
getic and ambitious.
As an American Studies
major, Zeiger spent much oI
his time at Hillsdale study-
ing politics, history and
economics. One oI his his-
tory proIessors, Burt Fol-
som remembers Zeiger Ior
being a student the class
valued highly. 'I liked hav-
ing him in classhe was
a very good essay writer,
Folsom said.
Along with writing
books and articles, work-
ing in the president`s oIfce,
serving as a residence assis-
tant, a small group leader,
and senior class president,
Zeiger was recognized as
'Outstanding Senior Man
by the college Iaculty and
his peers. Having achieved
about as many honors and
recognitions possible Ior a
Hillsdale student, he culmi-
nated it all by speaking at
graduation, where he shared
a stage with Gov. Mitt Rom-
ney, the 2007 commence-
ment speaker.
The Iollowing Iall, he
pursued his masters degree
in public policy Irom Pep-
perdine University. From
there he started his doctor-
ate at Claremont Graduate
University. He pointed to
'the infuence that proIes-
sors had at Hillsdale on the
next generation as the rea-
son Ior wanting to pursue a
Ph.D.
Part way through his
time at Claremont, Zeiger
continued his education
Irom his hometown through
an independent study so he
could run Ior the Washing-
ton House oI Representa-
tives.
At only 25 years old, he
won a hotly-contested race
to be one oI the youngest
legislators in Washington
state history in 2010. Fol-
lowing a thorough recount,
he won by a narrow margin
oI 29 votes out oI more than
52,000 cast to unseat the
Democrat incumbent.
In the midst oI the re-
count, Zeiger, Heimlich,
and William Clark, Zeiger`s
campaign manager and a
Hillsdale graduate Irom the
class oI 2010, drove Irom
Washington state to Hills-
dale Ior homecoming week-
end.
'Hans would be ahead
by 40 one day and down by
20 the next, Heimlich said.
'We spent the weekend at
homecoming, few back,
and then Ior two weeks they
recounting ballots until Zei-
ger ultimately won by 29
votes. During the weekend
in Hillsdale Hans was per-
Iectly stoic.
Also at this time, Zeiger
suspended his Ph.D. work
to Iocus on being a legisla-
tor. 'Now I realize you can
infuence others in a number
oI diIIerent ways, Zeiger
said. 'As an elected oIfcial
I have still been able to go
into classrooms and speak
with high school and col-
lege students.
Zeiger`s involvement in
local and state politics is
an example he hopes to set
Ior other Hillsdale students
looking to pursue politics.
'Students should think
about going back into their
home communities and
getting involved in public
service and community ser-
vice, Zeiger said.
And he is not even 30
years old.
As Zeiger has written
two books, secured public
oIfce twice, earned two
degrees, and climbed to the
top oI Central Hall eight
times, it is hard to disagree
with Arnn when he says
that Zeiger is 'a fne young
man, distinguishing him-
selI, and surprising no one
who understands him.

On most Saturday mornings
at 7 a.m., crowds fock to the
Hillsdale County Fairgrounds.
Some attend with a vision. Oth-
ers enjoy the thrill oI a good
browse.
The miscellaneous merchan-
dise available at the Hillsdale
Auction and Flea Market ranges
Irom chickens to lumber to trac-
tors to trucks. Two hours later,
Iour auctioneers take the stage to
sell the miscellaneous items Iol-
lowed by an auction Ior livestock
and hay.
The fea market sets up in the
stalls oI a long barn. Vendors
drape collections oI T-shirts,
pocket knives, medieval-style
swords, AirsoIt guns, and posters
on the walls. Tables stretch the
length oI the barn, hidden under-
neath displays oI DVDs, video
games, candy, and rare coins.
The Iour auctioneers sell diI-
Ierent items simultaneously,
each one surrounded by a cluster
oI potential buyers. Encircling
the clusters, a large clump oI
merchandise patiently awaits.
'We`re an auction that`ll try
to sell anything, said Auction
Manager Guy Russell.
Founded in 1913, the auction
continues to fourish. Farmers
Irom Indiana, Ohio, and other
parts oI Michigan market their
goods regularly at the auction.
Chris McCullough, owner oI
Pine Tree Acres, a sizeable tree
Iarm 45 minutes away, sells his
trees at the auction every Satur-
day in the Iall and early spring.
'There`s not a whole lot oI
other trees around here Ior sale,
he said. 'There`s only a couple
oI nurseries around.
Russell, explained that oI-
tentimes, buyers improve or fx
used items and then return to sell
them again Ior a higher price, or,
the buyer waits Ior an opportune
moment to resell it. In this way,
the auction Iunctions as a mode
oI recycling used goods. Similar
practices appear in the buying
and selling oI animals, Russell
said.
The communal aspect oI the
auction is a weekly occurrence.
'There`s always groups oI
people that like to stand around
together and talk, said Mike
Balcom, a veteran buyer at the
auction.
Balcom meets his dad and
brothers most Saturdays Ior
breakIast at the auction, where
he sees Iriends and meets new
people.
'There`s something here Ior
everybody, Russell said. 'You
never know what you`ll see out
here.

Thirty six thousand pounds oI
bison charge Iorward as visitors
in a wagon approach a 40-acre
clearing at the BuIIalo Ranch in
Hanover, Michigan. AIter a brieI
moment oI terror Ior the visitors,
the 18 bison slow down, almost
as suddenly as they appeared.
The biggest bison oI the Ha-
nover herd, Jake and Big Daddy,
approach the wagon without hes-
itation, extending their 2-Ieet-
long blue tongues between the
wagon beams. Their nostrils are
the size oI human fsts, and they
devour stale corn in single bites.
'They mainly eat grass and
hay. Corn is a treat so that`s why
they come running Ior the wag-
on, said high school student and
ranch hand Rodney McGarry oI
Brooklyn, Michigan.
This local attraction, more
reminiscent oI the Wild West
than southwestern Michigan, al-
lows guests the chance to Ieed
bison (the technical term Ior
what are more commonly known
as buIIalo), ride horses, zip-line,
and purchase bison meat in-
cluding hot dogs, bison patties,
and strip steaks.
The ranch was Iounded in
1976, about a century aIter the
nation`s remaining bison were
captured by six individual ranch-
ers, according to Valerius Geist,
author oI 'BuIIalo Nation: The
History and Legend oI the North
American Bison.
ProIessor oI Political Econo-
my Gary WolIram believes that
private ownership oI bison by
individual ranchers, not govern-
ment intervention, is what saved
the species. He speaks oI this
concept in his Introduction to
Political Economy class.
'American bison represent
perhaps the single most spec-
tacular wildliIe recovery success
in North American history, and it
occurred precisely because this
one native species made the rare
transition Irom public property
to private property, Ike C. Sugg
oI the Competitive Enterprise
Institute said in an article Irom
cei.org.
Sugg wrote that Irom 1903
to 1905, the number oI bison in
the United States Iell Irom 969
to 29, meaning that the U.S.
government protected about 5
percent.
Today, 90 percent oI today`s
bison are privately owned. Nine-
teen oI these bison, including a
Iour-week-old calI, reside at the
BuIIalo Ranch, which is owned
by Terrell Daniels oI Clark Lake,
Michigan. He bought the ranch
Irom Gary Childs in 2007, and
changed the name Irom 'Childs
Place to the 'BuIIalo Ranch.
WolIram remembers visiting
the property years ago Ior one
oI his children`s feld trips with
Hillsdale Academy. WolIram en-
joyed the bison meat, but it was
When graduation was
just two days away, Hill-
sdale College senior class
president Hans Zeiger `07
did what any good leader
on campus would do: He
commissioned a group oI
students to journey to the
top oI Central Hall to mount
their senior class fag.
The fag, hanging Irom
the top oI Central Hall Ior
the whole campus to see,
stood on display until se-
curity took it down the
Iollowing day. Although
Zeiger did not physically
participate in the expedi-
tion, everybody knew he
had something to do with it.
During Zeiger`s time at
Hillsdale College, he led
eight separate trips to the
highest point on campus.
Only once was he caught,
which led to dean oI men
Aaron Petersen fning him
$100 and assigning him 10
hours oI community ser-
vice.
'I led at least 40 people
to the top oI Central Hall
Ior late night tours, Zei-
ger said. 'Those days, you
could liIt the manhole in
Iront oI Central Hall to get
in.
But navigating such
shenanigans was only one
way where Zeiger proved
his leadership at Hillsdale.
Now, Zeiger continues to
exhibit his ability to lead in
the Washington state legis-
lature.
This November, Zeiger
is seeking reelection Ior his
third term to the Washing-
ton State House oI Repre-
sentatives.
Over the course oI his
frst two terms, he has
served on a number oI
committees, where he has
Iocused on education, eco-
nomic development and
transportation. Ultimately,
Zeiger`s desire is to 'build
up our communities not our
bureaucracies.
Currently, his reelection
Ior a third term is all but se-
cured as he won the August
primary with over 62 per-
cent oI the vote. Assuming
those numbers hold Ior No-
vember, Zeiger will begin
his third term in January.
Born and raised in Puyal-
lup, Washington, Zeiger has
embraced leadership roles
and responsibility. He was
active in scouting growing
up and served as a student
leader at his high school, so
his ascent to leadership as
a student at Hillsdale was
natural to him.
As an Eagle Scout, Zei-
ger published his frst book
'Get OII My Honor!: The
Assault on the Boy Scouts
oI America beIore his ju-
nior year at Hillsdale Col-
lege.
Lt. Col. Oliver North,
commentator and host oI
War Stories with Oliver
North on Fox News, praised
the college sophomore Ior
his book. North wrote in the
Iorward that is was 'a valu-
able work Ior every parent
and community in a nation
that should be concerned
about the kind oI young
men we will have in the Iu-
ture.
Zeiger did not stop
there. His second book,
'Reagan`s Children: Taking
Back the City on the Hill,
was published the Iollow-
ing summer. Both books
are available in the college
bookstore and in the Moss-
ey library.
Classmate oI Zeiger, Ca-
leb Heimlich 07, who now
serves as executive director
oI the Washington State Re-
publican Party, recounted
Zeiger`s work ethic during
a spring break trip a group
oI them took to Florida.
'While we were hanging
out at the beach, Hans was
writing a book. He was one
oI the hardest working stu-
dents at Hillsdale, Heim-
lich said. 'Most people
think the writing required
by your proIessors is hard,
Ior Hans he needed more so
he wrote a book while ex-
celling in his classes.
In conjunction with Zei-
ger`s writing, he also devel-
oped as a student.
'I came in thinking I
knew everything and was
ready to change the world,
Zeiger said. 'But my job
wasn`t to make a name Ior
myselI. It was to be liber-
ally educated.
Junior year was cru-
cial to Zeiger`s academic
growth.
'I had a lot more read-
ing to do, Zeiger said. 'Dr.
Arnn was critical in getting
me to study.
President Larry Arnn
would attest to Zeiger`s
'American bison
represent the single
most spectacular
wildliIe recovery
success in North
American history.
'I led at least 40
people to the top
oI Central Hall.

In early August, Hillsdale
residents with ill-ftting clothes
got some good news: A tailoring
and alterations shop opened at
4 N. Howell St., upstairs Irom
Jilly Beans CoIIee House. The
shop is owned and run by Teri
Lively, a Iormer employee oI
Hillsdale College who has done
tailoring work out oI her home
Ior almost 15 years.
'My kids are grown now, so
I decided to expand to a store,
Lively said.
Although Lively is her shop`s
sole employee, her skills are
broad enough to cover a wide
range oI sewing services.
'I do men`s and women`s
|clothing|; I do Iormalwear, Ior-
mal gowns, she said. 'Pretty
much anything that needs to be
sewn, I can sew it.
Lively lives in Concord,
Michigan and said she chose to
open her business in Hillsdale
because there were already sev-
eral tailoring stores in Jackson.
'Hillsdale was a good ft to
get my name out there and be
a service provider Ior the com-
munity, Lively said. 'It helped
that I used to live in Jonesville
and worked in admissions Ior
the College.
The transition Irom home
to storeIront has been smooth,
largely due to the loyal customer
base Lively`s built.
'Seams Fitting has only been
open three weeks, but business
has been good, she said in Sep-
tember. 'The name`s getting
around, and people are starting
to talk to people. Having con-
tacts already in place because oI
my home work has helped keep
me busy.
Lively hopes to grow her cli-
ent base by Iocusing on high
customer satisIaction and word
oI mouth in the Hillsdale com-
munity.
'I`m known Ior my quick
turnaround, she said. 'I try to
honor when do you need this
by` and get things back as quick-
ly as I possibly can. When I was
working out oI my home, typi-
cal turnaround was two to three
days. At this point, I try to get
things back in no longer than a
week unless it`s a huge proj-
ect, Lively said.
Lively also tries to complete
emergency requests.
Robert Ramsey, `14, who
was married in Hillsdale Aug.
30, needed a last minute altera-
tion to his wedding suit and took
it to Lively aIter another local
alterations shop was unable to
help him.
'The staII at Powers actually
reIerred me to Seams, which
I had not heard oI beIore,
Ramsey said. 'So I went in on
Wednesday and asked iI she
could have it done by Friday.
She told me, I can have it Ior
you by tomorrow morning.`
Ramsey said that he was im-
pressed by both the speed and
the quality oI Lively`s work.
'I`d give Seams my highest
recommendation, he said.
Lively is unsure about her
long-term plans Ior the store,
but will Iocus on establishing
her presence in the town and
college community Ior now.
'Tailoring is an area where I
can be a service provider Ior the
community, and I`m just trying
to be the person that can help in
that regard.

Nestled amongst tall trees on
211 Maumee St. in Jonesville
stands living history: the Gros-
venor House.
The red brick Victorian
Italianate two-story was built
in 1874 and operates as a mu-
seum. The once-Iamed home
oI business mogul Ebenezer O.
Grosvenor, one-time Lieutenant
Governor oI Michigan and Hill-
sdale College trustee, is now in
danger oI closing its doors Ior-
ever.
'We are having to tighten the
reins, Trustee Bonnie Drake
said. 'The house was previ-
ously Iunded by endowments,
but our last one ran out a year
ago. We are trying to get corpo-
rate sponsorships and Iunding
Irom |Hillsdale College|, where
Mr. Grosvenor was a trustee,
because you cannot run a house
like this on tours alone.
Drake joined the board oI
directors in 2011 at the urging
oI a Iriend who was already on
the board. She Iound herselI
enamored with the place; unIor-
tunately, when she arrived, the
house had never been invento-
ried and flled with unorganized
antiques.
Drake says she could sense
the magic in the house and has
devoted her liIe to restoring
its original beauty and rais-
ing awareness Ior its rich his-
tory. Her eIIorts are obvious: as
visitors step through the heavy
double doors oI the Grosvenor
House, they`re whisked back
into the world oI E.O. Grosve-
nor.
The house has hardly been
changed; original hardware and
Iabrics remain intact, and the
musky scent oI age and warmth
oI rare butternut wood lingers
over quirky artiIacts. In this
time machine, it is easy to Ior-
get both the year and hour while
peering into the lives oI E.O.
Grosvenor and his wiIe, Sally
Ann.
Though it has a rich heritage,
the house is hidden and in dis-
use. Drake attributes this to a
lack oI advertising. She believes
that the house will only survive
iI students and visitors develop
a renewed interest in it.
'All the locals have already
seen it, and the students simply
don`t know it`s here, Drake
said.
Despite its seemingly grim
Iuture, Drake remains optimis-
tic, describing the various op-
portunities the house oIIers to
students. Last year, a Hillsdale
graduate, Gwendolyn Stoldt,
used archives Irom the house
to write her thesis about a local
business magnate, and this year,
a student in the music depart-
ment has volunteered to play the
piano during one oI the annual
Christmas celebrations.
Julia Kilgore, `14, is an on-
site representative board mem-
ber and coordinator between
the museum and college, and
described how she discovered
the opportunities the Grosvenor
House oIIers.
'My Iriend Gwen Stoldt
and I were interested in pursu-
ing museum studies aIter col-
lege and during our junior year
wanted to fnd opportunities in
the community, Kilgore said.
'We called |the museum| up
and asked iI they were in need
oI volunteers. They invited us to
a board meeting to meet every-
one, and Irom then on, it`s been
a whirlwind adventure.
In addition to tours, the mu-
seum caters and hosts Victorian-
style weddings, and may begin
oIIering etiquette lessons on
weekends in the dining area.
The appeal oI the museum is
Iar more than a Iew old newspa-
pers Irom 1870 or a hand-sewn
dress Irom a 1910 Hillsdale Col-
lege graduation cer-
emony draped across
a mannequin in a
room where Presi-
dent McKinley once
slept. It is the entire
atmosphere within the
Grosvenor Museum
where, 140 years later,
the house remains a
haunting and hidden
gem Irozen in time and
waiting to be rediscov-
ered.

'It`s like flling up a car with
gas, but we fll you up with
Iood, Filling Station owner
Cindy Bieszk said.
The Filling Station, in down-
town Hillsdale, has provided
Iriendly service and Iresh sand-
wiches since 1990. True to
her word and the shop`s name,
Filling Station sandwiches are
known Ior their hearty servings.
'We actually had to dial it
back on our generosity in por-
tions, Bieszk added with a
laugh.
In addition to infuencing the
size oI the sandwiches, the store
name is Iulflled through its inte-
rior decor: vintage, metal signs
advertising Ior 'Tire Bargains,
and counters covered with emp-
ty Valor Motor Oil cans and
miniature gas pumps.
Its name was inspired by
Iormer owner, Jean Mill`s Ia-
ther, who owned a gas station
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Bieszk bought the 'Mills` Fill-
ing Station Irom Dave and Jean
Mills in April 2001. Since then,
she has maintained the standard
oI high quality service and Iresh
Iood that attracts a large college
student customer base.
'It`s quick, you never wait
more than a couple minutes
to get your sandwich, junior
Sydney Delp said. 'Cindy has
a sense oI urgency when she is
making your order.
Bieszk attributes her eIf-
ciency behind the counter to her
experience in managing a Iast
Iood restaurant. She said Iood
service has been her niche ever
since working a caIeteria job in
high school.
Delp added Filling Station`s
array oI cheesecake options are
her Iavorite part oI the store.
'I can`t even pick a Iavorite,
Delp said. 'One day I acciden-
tally did a sample oI every diI-
Ierent kind.
Bieszk also gives her custom-
ers a Iriendly smile and personal
attention that infuences students
like senior Chelsea Farrell and
her roommates to Iorm 'Filling
Station Fridays.
'She knows our orders by
heart, Farrell said. 'One day I
Iorgot to add bacon to my order
and when I picked it up |Cindy|
said, don`t worry, I put it on
there Ior you.`
Although Hillsdale students
comprise a small part oI Bieszk`s
customer base, she loves seeing
them fll up her deli.
'I call them icing on the
cake, Bieszk said.
Senior Kadie Lowery encour-
ages more students to try Filling
Station and get a taste oI the
Hillsdale community.
'It`s more expensive, but
you`re getting in touch with
people who live in Hillsdale,
Lowery said. 'It`s a much better
experience than going to a Iast
Iood restaurant.
The prices are a touch steeper
than competing sandwich shops
like Subway or Oakley River-
side Deli and Party Store, but
customers say they get their
money`s worth Irom the experi-
ence and quality Iood.
Bieszk oIten partners with
with Hillsdale College by donat-
ing Iood Ior employees oI Brad
Monastiere, Hillsdale`s sports
inIormation director, and soror-
ity events.
Delp, the organizer oI the
Kappa Kappa Gamma event,
said she was pleased with
Bieszk`s prompt service, atten-
tion to budget, and fexibility.
