VAUGHN BANDIT ON THE LOOSE 

By Shea McDonnell 

Imagine coming to 

college with a cherished 

childhood possession just to 

have it stolen a few weeks into 

the school year. That’s exactly 

what happened to sophomore 

Rachel Hebberd. Hebberd had 

her blanket stolen from the 

laundry room in Vaughn Hall. 

“This is crazy. Who 

steals someone’s blanket? I mean 

what are they doing with my 

blanket anyway. It makes no 

sense,” Hebberd said. 

Hebberd is not the only 

theft victim in Vaughn. Freshman 

Kristi Korn had her credit card 

stolen. 

“I walked out of the 

laundry room and forgot my 

keys. By the time I realized and 

turned around to get them 

someone had already gone 

through my wallet. I had to call 

my bank and cancel the card 

before anyone could use it. I 

hate that you cannot leave 

anything lying around without 

risk of it being stolen,” Korn 

said. 

Vaughn is an all female 

dorm and has seen a rash of 

crime this semester, including 

the theft of headphones, 

hundreds of dollars in cash and 

clothing. 

“My soccer capris that 

I don’t even own were stolen 

and I now owe forty dollars,” 

said senior Jamie Alcala, who 

also fell prey to the Vaughn 

Bandit. 

“The RA’s (Resident 

Assistants) held a meeting with 

all the girls who live in the 

building to discuss the thievery 

problem but it hasn’t made 

much of a difference. Things are 

still going missing,” Vaughn 

resident Nadia Salameh said.

“It’s such a hassle that even 

when I’m just walking down the 

hall to talk to someone I have to 

make sure to lock my door 

because I don’t know if someone 

will come in my room and take my 

things.” 

Residents are being 

advised to lock their doors and 

watch their belongings while in 

the laundry room.

of things being stolen will

“I went to do my 

laundry the other day and 

ran into another guy who 

wanted to do the same, so we 

played rock, paper, scissors to 

see who could use the last 

washing machine,” 

sophomore Philip Howard 

said. 

As a resident and RA 

in Ervin dorm, Howard 

shares a problem that weighs 

on the minds of many Ervin 

residents. 

“With only two 

washing machines and 

dryers in Ervin it makes it

tough if you want to get your 

laundry done,” sophomore 

Dan Blumenthal said. “We 

need more.” 

Ervin Dorm has 54 

rooms, meaning about 100 

people have to fight for access 

to just two machines. 

“With all these 

people, it’s almost impossible 

to find time to do laundry 

unless you wake up early or 

stay up extremely late,” 

Blumenthal complained. 

A lot of Ervin 

residents are also athletes,

which means sweatier, 

dirtier clothes than a regular 

student. 

“As an athlete, I go 

through my clothes pretty 

quick and I need to get them 

cleaned even quicker because 

of practice every day,” 

sophomore lacrosse player 

Steven Tilmon said. “It’s 

awful only having two 

washing machines and 

dryers, and I hope we can get 

some more soon.” 

But not every dorm is 

having this problem. New 

Hall is in the process of 

getting new washing 

machines and some 

apartments already have 

them. 

“That’s one of the 

selling points of New Hall. I 

can do my laundry without 

worrying about someone 

bothering my clothes,” junior 

Chad Nicholson said. 

“I’m hoping we can 

get some new ones, because 

this rock, paper, scissors 

thing is getting old,” Howard 

said.

It was a typical 

Wednesday morning in 

Misenheimer for student 

Brannon Lloyd when the 

unexpected happened. 

Lloyd and one of his friends 

walked out to a campus 

parking lot excited to hit 

the road when they realized 

Lloyd’s ‘95 Honda Civic 

was nowhere to be seen. 

“I called a couple 

friends making sure no one 

was playing a joke on me,” 

Lloyd said. 

It was no joke. He 

called Misenheimer Police. 

“The officers spoke 

to me for about 20 minutes 

asking me questions about 

what happened. Then they 

reported the car stolen,” 

Lloyd said. 

In 2009 there were 

129 reported motor vehicle 


CAR STOLEN ON 

CAMPUS 

thefts on college campuses 

across the state of North 

Carolina. This incident 

shows crimes like this are 

not limited to large 

universities. Even on a small 

campus like Pfeiffer’s it’s 

important to always use 

caution and be aware of your 

surroundings and personal 

property. Make a habit out of 

double checking that your 

room and car doors are 

locked. 

“I never ever forget to 

lock up my things. I get way 

too paranoid with so many 

people around,” senior Julio 

Dominguez said. 

If you have any 

information about this case, 

you’re asked to contact 

Misenheimer Police.

Looking around 

Pfeiffer, the first thing one 

sees is not the latest 

technology. But this will soon 

change. By the Fall of 2012 

many classrooms across 

campus will have the latest 

technology, including 

cameras, televisions, and one 

cord input controllers. 

Pfeiffer classrooms currently 

have anything from 

blackboards and chalk to 

whiteboards with mounted 

overhead projectors. What 

rooms will receive what 

technology? That depends on 

what is the right fit for 

students, faculty and the 

space in question. According 

to Peter Freer, Director of the 

IT Department, there will be 

three levels of technology. 

“The simplest will 

consist of ceiling mounted 

projectors, fixed speakers, a 

podium and a one-cord input 

controller, while the most 

complex could have multiple 

screens per room, multicameras, 

and lighting 

controls,” Freer previewed. 

The multi-cameras 

will be in the form of having 

a screen in the front and rear 

of the classroom so teachers 

and students can interact 

better while conducting a 

distance learning lecture. 

The one-cord input controller 

will make it easier for 

professors to connect their 

computers to the technology 

inside the classroom instead 

of having to push their carts 

into the room. Pfeiffer is also 

trying to better utilize mobile 

technology, including items 

such as the iPad. 

According to Dr. 

Tracy Espy, Provost and Vice 

President for Academic 

Affairs, there are four main 

benefits of incorporating 

mobile technology. 

“Mobile technology 

will promote student 

engagement, facilitate 

critical thinking, facilitate 

small group collaboration, 

and provide access to and 

manipulation of digital 

content,” Espy explained. 

This new technology 

will not only make professors 

more proficient at getting out 

information while teaching, 

it will also help students who 

have wide varieties of 

learning styles. 

“The great thing 

about being behind in 

technology is that we get to 

jump to latest thing instead 

of wasting money on older 

NEWS

projectors and waiting 

another three or more years 

to upgrade,” Professor of 

Business Dr. Christopher 

“Doc” Howard said. 

“It’s going to be really 

nice having new technology 

in the classroom,” senior 

Lauren Kaminski said. “The 

biggest benefit to me will be 

an easier time taking notes. 

We’ll be able to get the 

lecture notes easier, edit 

them quicker and increase 

our ability to stay organized.” 

The last time Pfeiffer 

had any major technological 

upgrades was back in 2009 

when the campus went 

completely wireless. That 

project was funded by a 

generous donation from the 

Charles A. Cannon 

Charitable Trust No. One. As 

for funding the new 

technology, there are several 

sources being investigated 

but none of them are set in 

stone. 

The upgrade was 

initiated by university 

leaders such as President 

Mike Miller and Dr. Espy 

and includes key players 

Peter Freer and Eunwook 

Park, Director of Distance 

Learning. The process began 

in the early summer of 2011 

and is currently in the final 

phases. Faculty members are 

being provided 

demonstrations to determine 

the types of desired 

technology needed in the 

classroom. Students were 

given surveys earlier in the 

year to determine what they 

wanted to see come to the 

Picture by Tyler Smith 

classroom. The combination 

of the student surveys and 

faculty preferences will result 

in what could be seen as soon 

as Fall 2012. 

“The goal is to enrich 

teaching and learning across 

all campuses of Pfeiffer- to 

create quality instructional 

materials, innovative 

teaching and scholarship,” 

Dr. Espy said.

The gleam that 

comes from the widescreen, 

barely touched Macintosh 

computers is what 

immediately catches the eye 

when you walk into the new 

Digital Humanities Lab. The 

“Mac Lab” is a new space for 

students to use not only for 

papers and research, but to 

express their creative sides 

with the up-to-date features 

of a Mac computer. 

“Through an arts 

endowment, with a combined 

effort with the arts, 

communication, and music 

departments, the Mac Lab 

was funded to benefit 

students [so they] could 

produce artistic media,” said 

Dr. Shaun Cashman, 

Assistant Professor of 

Communication. 

The lab is located in 

the Stokes Student Center 

down the hall from the 

cafeteria on the bottom floor.

“I think it’s really nice to have cutting edge technology.”

It includes ten desktop Mac 

computers all equipped with 

the latest software, including 

the Microsoft Works 

programs, the Adobe Suite 

programs such as Adobe 

Photoshop and Adobe 

Dreamweaver, and all the 

features that come with 

Macintosh computers, such 

as Garage Band and iTunes. 

“I think it’s really 

nice to have cutting edge 

technology. It’s definitely an 

upgrade from the other 

computer lab,” senior John 

Goble said. 

The lab provides 

many students with the tools 

they need to enhance projects 

and studies for their majors. 

“It’s nice to watch 

videos on because of the high 

definition monitors, and it’s 

good for story editing as well 

because I am on the 

newspaper staff,” Goble said. 

The Falcon’s Eye 

The hours of the lab 

are limited. It’s open from 11- 

2 on Tuesdays and 

Thursdays and 10-11 on 

Wednesdays and Fridays. On 

Monday the hours are 

extended. It’s open from 10-11 

and from 1-3. Unfortunately 

for some students, these 

hours are just not enough. 

“I like [the new lab] a 

lot; I just hope we can get 

human resources for the lab 

so it can be open 24 hours,” 

senior Jingzhuo Li said. 

Some classes will be 

hosted in the lab this coming 

spring, including Multimedia 

Production, where students 

will look into the Adobe Suite 

programs. 

“The classes will be 

centered around elements of 

design, advertising, etc. The 

classes are fun. I enjoy them 

because I like that they 

encourage projects students 

can show off,” Cashman said. 

“It’s more of an application 

style class than a theory or 

lecture class.” 

The Digital 

Humanities Lab, with its 

location designed for 

accessibility to students, is 

fresh and waiting for new 

users. 

“There are a number 

[of benefits the lab offers] for 


students. It works for 

multimedia production which 

is useful for most fields, not 

only humanities, with tools 

for advertising, video 

production, and the 

opportunity to work on 

projects that call for artistic 

expression,” Cashman said.

“As the first cohort of 

the nursing program we are 

all eager to learn and excited 

for clinicals to begin,” said 

Heather Carter, a junior 

nursing student who is 

preparing herself for a career 

in health care. 

Now Carter and 

other nursing majors will get 

the hands-on experience they 

need thanks to the new 

nursing lab on the top floor of 

the Stokes Student Center. 

The lab is set up similar to 

what would be found in a 

hospital or doctor’s office. 

“The lab is brand 

new with high tech machines 

which allow nursing students 

to practice nursing skills just 

as we would do in the clinical

setting,” Carter said. 

“Having the lab is extremely 

helpful in learning our skills 

and I feel it will be beneficial 

for when we begin our first 

rotation of clinicals.” 

The lab features new 

tools and resources for 

students to get a real feel for 

what they will experience in 

their field. There are lifelike 

mannequins students can 

use to put IVs in, check vital 

signs, give injections and 

insert tubes. 

“I like the fact that 

you can listen to heart 

sounds, bowel sounds and 

lung sounds,” Dr Dianne 

Daniels, Chair of the 

Department of Nursing, said. 

“We have a lab that looks like 

a clinical setting.” 

Unlike other majors, 

the nursing program is 

divided into a lower and 

upper division. The lower 

division includes more 

prerequisite classes and the 

upper division offers nursing 

specific courses to learn more 

skills. A part of the nursing 

program includes hands-on 

time in a clinical setting. To 

be able to get a chance to 

utilize the lab, students must 

be accepted to the upper 

division after completing 

their prerequisites. 

Sophomore Sarah 

Yates is finishing up her 

prerequisites to apply for that 

upper division and practice 

her skills in the new lab. 

“I’m really excited to 

get hands-on experience and 

see what it’s like to be a 

nurse,” Yates said. 

“Having the lab and

extremely accommodating,”

We all have a reason 

we came to Pfeiffer. It may 

have been a sport, a certain 

program, the size of the 

campus, or the fact that 

Pfeiffer runs in the family. 

President Mike Miller spoke 

to one of Dr. Ashley 

Oliphant’s writing classes 

about this very subject. What 

makes Pfeiffer special? For 

Miller the last year on 

campus sparked an 

appreciation for Pfeiffer’s 

special qualities. 

“I’ve enjoyed learning 

about Pfeiffer,” President 

Miller remarked. “[My wife

By Shea McDonnell 

It is hard to make 

students interested in things 

that don’t affect them 

directly. Although the QEP 

(Quality Enhancement Plan) 

is extremely important to all 

Pfeiffer students, staff and 

faculty, many know very 

little about the QEP and how 

to involve themselves in it 

directly. 

“I had never heard of 

the QEP before coming to 

Pfeiffer and I’m still not 

specifically sure what it is 

and how it affects me. They 

Hill like we had about 

Pfeiffer.” 

During Homecoming 

many alumni came by 

President Miller’s house to 

talk about good old times. 

“When these alums 

got together from class of 61’, 

66’, 67’ they talked about how 

they fixed up their rooms,” 

Miller said. “My wife and I 

didn’t have the same

going on at my other college,” 

sophomore and transfer 

student Sarah Daly said. 

Pfeiffer’s QEP is a 

blueprint to help enhance the 

university. As previously 

reported in The Falcon’s Eye, 

our QEP is based on two 

concepts: engaged learning 

and critical thinking. These 

educational goals may be 

difficult to understand but 

there is a creative plan in the 

works to make these terms 

more familiar to students. 

Communication 

Professor Dr. Shaun 

Cashman will be creating an 

alternate reality game, ARG, 

which uses real world and 

multiple media and game 

elements to involve 

participants’ ideas. The 

upcoming QEP alternate 

reality game, which will be 

released this spring, is being 

formed in hopes of creating a 

new and exciting way to get 

students involved in the QEP 

process. 

“We are looking to do 

something, through this ARG 

game that will make Pfeiffer 

students actually interested 

in the QEP and how it affects 

them,” Cashman said. 

“I haven’t paid a lot 

of attention to what the QEP 

really is. Some of my 

teachers have talked about it 

and I’ve read the articles on 

it, but it never really 

interested me enough to look 

into getting involved in it. 

However, I would look into 

what the ARG was because 

that sounds more interesting 

and fun rather then just 

hearing about what the QEP 

is from professors and other 

students,” freshman Britton 

Muir said.

English Professor 

Ashley Oliphant spent three 

years as faculty advisor of 

The Phoenix. 

“The shift from print 

to web is a current trend for 

literary magazines, and it is 

good to see Pfeiffer changing 

with the times,” Oliphant 

said. 

The magazine has 

seen many changes since it 

was introduced in 1958 by 

Pfeiffer’s Society of Creative 

Arts. Its title went from The 

Phoenix (1958-1986), to 

Pfeiffer Review (1986-2008) 

and back to The Phoenix 

(2008-present) during its 

lifespan. 

Elizabeth Carter, 

Pfeiffer alumnus and painter 

of the 08’-09’ cover, is not so 

enthusiastic about the 

transition. 

“I’ll miss being able 

to hold The Phoenix in my 

hands,” Carter said. “I’m

finding ways to stay relevant, 

even if it means cutting costs 

by going digital.”

Remember that panic 

attack you had at the 

beginning of the semester 

when you left the bookstore 

with a fat book bag and a 

skinny wallet? Well, we are 

at the halfway mark and the 

question is… was it worth it? 

Many students, like 

Samantha Taylor, feel as if 

shelling out the cash is the 

only option. 

“I think that the 

prices are ridiculous but a 

mandatory cost,” Taylor 

explained. “If you plan on 

doing well in your classes you 

have to buy the book. I work 

all summer and over 

Christmas break just to be 

able to afford books and 

living expenses during the 

school year.” 

Like Taylor, most 

students feel they will be lost 

without a textbook. Students 

assume the textbooks are a 

proverbial security blanket 

and are the only thing 

standing between them and 

sure failure. 

Luckily, Pfeiffer has 

attempted to cut back on the 

anxiety by offering a rental 

program. 

“Renting books this 

semester went very well. It 

has saved Pfeiffer students 

about 50% of their book costs 

up front,” bookstore employee 

Kim Fowler said. “Book costs 

are set nationally by 

publishers and by consumer 

demand of the book. Our 

Pfeiffer Bookstore truly tries 

to give students the best 

deals possible on books.” 

So are textbooks 

necessary for every class? 

One could argue no, 

especially if the instructor 

offers supplements, such as 

PowerPoint or online 

additives. 

“In one of my classes 

I bought the book and we 

were planning on not using it 

and using another book so I 

NEWS 

BOOK BUDGET BATTLE 

returned it and now the 

professor has already 

switched back to the old 

book,” student Kristen Hogue 

complained. 

There must be some 

course of action so that 

instances like this can be 

avoided. In some cases, it 

might be better to wait until 

talking to the instructor 

before purchasing a textbook. 

In some instances the 

professor will inform you of 

online supplements for the 

textbook that only require a 

small, one-time fee for access. 

Another option is to purchase 

an older version of the 

textbook. It is likely that the 

theories will be the same but 

the examples will have 

changed. 

Finally, the most 

feasible option may be to seek 

out a student who has 

purchased the textbook 

already and offer him or her 

more than the bookstore 

does. The bookstore can only 

offer about 10% back on a 

perfect book, so you could 

easily save 85% on a textbook 

by offering a previous student 

of a class $5 more. That’s 

what freshman Shea 

McDonnell did. 

“I saved about $80 

buying a psychology textbook 

from a student,” McDonnell 

said. “I’m glad I was able to 

save so much money.”

Most young men 

dream of the day when they 

can grow thick facial hair. 

For Cody Teague, that day 

came early. 

“My moustache came 

in 8 th grade, and I grew a 

goatee sophomore year of 

high school,” Teague reflected 

boastfully. He is now a senior 

at Pfeiffer with a luscious 

goatee. 

But students want to 

change Teague’s bearded 

look. If the Pfeiffer 

community can raise $200, 

Cody will shave his face 

clean. If $250 is put up he 

will also shave his head. All 

the money raised is going

cause,” Teague said.

his baby face. I’ve never seen 

him without facial hair,” 

excited donator Tyson Louth 

remarked. 

Donations are 

growing faster than Teague’s 

hair, but there is still time to 

get in on the action. You can 

contact any SAAC 

representative or Teague 

himself to give money to the 

cause. The deadline is 

November 12 for donations, 

and the shaving will occur 

November 13. 

Teague is proving 

he’s a cut above, but isn’t 

eager to part with his beloved 

beard. When asked if he’d 

still shave if $200 wasn’t 

raised, Teague’s response was 

“No, there’s not a chance.” 

LET THE RAZORS 

RUST

Over the years we 

have seen the beard become 

famous in our nation, from 

actors like Zach Galifianakis 

to sports figures like Brian 

Wilson. But there is one 

month in which men seem to 

unite as one to grow beards, 

November. 

“No Shave 

November” or Noshember is 

an event in which men 

abstain from shaving facial 

hair for the entire 

month. This event was made 

famous through social 

networking and word of 

mouth. The purpose of “No 

Shave November” ranges 

from raising money for 

charities to simply showing 

off your beard growing 

abilities. At Pfeiffer it seems 

to be the latter. 

“We decided to do ‘No 

Shave November’ as a team 

more for jokes, you know to 


try and prove each other’s 

manhood on the team,” 

junior golfer Chad Nicholson 

said. 

“I just heard about 

people doing it when I was 

younger so I started doing it,” 

senior Sawyer Wyrick said. 

According to the 

rules of “No Shave 

November”, participants are 

to shave their facial hair on 

the last day of October, and 

not shave it again until 

December 1. 

“I’ve been doing it 

every year since I was 17, I 

always love it on the last day 

of November because I get to 

shave cool designs in my 

beard,” Wyrick said. 

So whether it’s for a 

cause or just fun amongst 

friends, one thing is certain: 

Razor sales are going to be 

down during November.

In today’s world, if 

you own a computer there 

is a chance you also have 

a Facebook account. It 

seems that everybody is 

on Facebook, from ten 

year-olds to our 

grandparents. People use 

Facebook to help stay in 

touch with friends and 

family that you may not 

get to see every day. 

Facebook also gives people 

a chance to share the 

interesting events and 

news that happen in their 

lives, but how do you 

decide who you want to 

see this information? How 

do you choose who you are 

friends with on Facebook? 

Do you accept everybody? 

What about your professors 

and coaches? 

Most students we 

spoke with agreed students 

should be friends with faculty 

on Facebook. 

“I love being able to

sometimes a way to get a

the Pfeiffer email is down, 

Facebook offers a way of

Dr. Barbara Kean, a

For many students 

college is about the 

wholesome experience of 

living on campus, getting to 

know people, joining clubs 

and socializing. But what 

about those who don’t live 

campus? Unfortunately for 

commuters, it can be very 

difficult to get the full college 

experience, even if they really 

want to. 

“I’m too busy to get 

involved,” junior Bao Lor, 

who drives 20 minutes to 

school every day, said. “I’ve 

got bills to pay and family 

obligations. I suppose if I 

lived on campus and didn’t 

have a job I’d be more 

involved because I’d need to 

occupy my time.” 

Sometimes it’s not so 

much being busy as it is just 

not knowing what’s 

available. 

“There is nothing 

about Pfeiffer that would ever 

make me want to stay longer 

after my class schedule after 

the day is done except maybe 

basketball games,” senior 

Sha’ Rice said. 

This seems to be a 

FEATURES 

KEEPING COMMUTERS INVOLVED 

“Don’t let not living on campus cause you to miss out on the 

relationships and experiences that could change your life.” 

-Paula Morris/Office of Student Development. 

trend among commuting 

students. Despite the fact 

that commuters seem less 

able to get involved, there are 

still some things they can do 

to stay in touch with Pfeiffer 

traditions and activities. 

“We have bulletins 

with all the different 

programs we have,” resident 

freshman Joey Daniels 

said. ”I play flag football. I’m 

in Glee. I do CEF (Christian 

Educators Fellowship). I’m 

about to start working with 

COL (Center for Outdoor 

Leadership). I think it’s 

harder for a commuter to 

become social because they 

are out, and in the dorms you 

meet so many people it’s a lot 

easier to be social.” 

So what can 

commuters do? 

“Utilize campus 

resources- go to the library, 

eat lunch by the lake, go to 

the gym at the Knapp 

Center. Commuters can take 

advantage of anything 

Pfeiffer offers the same as a 

residential student can, they 

just have to be more 

intentional about it,” Paula 

Morris, Administrative 

Assistant for Student 

Development, said. Morris 

was a commuter all four 

years of her undergraduate 

career. 

“Join a club or 

organization such as the 

Francis Center, Ballroom 

Dancing Club, FCA 

(Fellowship of Christian 

Athletes),” Morris said. 

“You’ll meet people, gain 

some transferable skills and 

learn more about Pfeiffer and 

yourself in the process.” 

She also advises 

commuters apply for work 

study positions. 

“Working in one of 

the departments on campus 

is going to help you learn 

more about the place that is 

giving you an education. It 

may help you in your chosen 

field as well.” 

Surprisingly, it may 

also be helpful for commuters 

to know about dorm rules. 

“One of the big things 

that commuters should know 

is that you can come stay in 

the dorms. We can have 

visitors come stay with us as 

long as they go to the school,” 

Daniels said. “If you’re in a 

group it’s going to give you 

an incentive to come and 

hang out with 

people…Everybody at Pfeiffer 

is pretty friendly.” 

It all boils down to 

what college is really all 

about. 

“Family obligations 

and work off campus 

certainly have their place 

and importance. However, a 

college education just doesn’t 

happen in the classroom. 

You learn as much from the 

cultural programs, athletic 

pursuits, and clubs as you 

may in the classroom. The 

extra-curricular activities are 

what make you well-rounded 

and give you tons of 

transferable skills that will 

prepare you for the world of 

work, graduate school, or 

whatever life throws at you,” 

Morris said. “My advice to 

commuters- don’t let not 

living on campus cause you 

to miss out on the 

relationships and experiences 

that can change your life.”

“Now what?” seems 

to be the phrase that plagues 

the graduating class of 2012. 

This gripping fear of an 

unstable job market and the 

ambiguous feelings of the 

future leave seniors 

questioning what steps to 

take once they walk off the 

stage of their graduation and 

into the professional world. 

Our senior class knows the 

process of graduating; 

resumes, degree audits, GRE/ 

MAT scores, field-testing and 

either job hunting or 

graduate school applying. 

Though these tips do not 

have the power to dispel any 

fears that may remain, it 

should give a good foundation 

for our seniors to take a step 

on. So instead of waiting for a 

divine hand to grab you by 

the shoulders and say “You’re 

going to do this, this and 

that,” the class of 2012 can 

take their future in their own 

hands by following these ten 

tips.

For my last article, 

“Strife Over Swipe,” I did a 

little investigating to find out 

more about our meal plans. I 

discovered many of the 

students’ complaints were 

misplaced. Most people 

blame Sudexo for the 

expensive meal plans and the 

little ways students get 

ripped off, however, most of it 

is actually the 

administration’s fault. 

Students living on 

campus are forced to have a 

meal plan through the school 

and are only given two 

options: the 19 meals per 

week plan and the Unlimited 

Plan. Most students don’t 

even use 19 meals per week. 

I know I personally use less 

than 15 per week because of

classes, not to mention when 

I decide to go out with friends 

instead. So why should I pay 

for those extra four meals per 

week? I, along with most 

students, just assumed it 

was Sudexo that was taking 

that extra money. After 

talking with Sudexo officials 

I discovered that the money 

goes straight to the 

administration. Students pay 

the administration the full 

price for the semester, then 

the administration pays 

Sudexo $5.55 per meal we 

eat. So what does this mean? 

It means that if we only use 

15 meals per week, the 

administration is keeping a 

little over $20 from both us 

and Sudexo each week. Does 

this seem fair to you? Not to 

me! Think about how much 

that is if you used cash for 

every meal and at the end of 

the week you just had to take 

a $20 bill out of your wallet 

and give it to the school. 

This seems ridiculous to me. 

Many students I spoke with 

agree. 

“Any money we didn’t 

use by the end of the 

semester should be credited 

to our account to be used for 

the book store or tuition or 

something of the sort that 

still helps the school but 

helps the students too,” 

senior Cameron Kaylor said. 

If students had this 

extra money to spend at the 

bookstore it would bring the 

bookstore much more 

business and could actually 

increase its profit margin. 

“We should be able to 

buy fewer meals or maybe 

just not be forced to get them 

just because we live on 

campus. It’s not fair, we’re 

locked into throwing away 

our money,” sophomore 

Morgan Dionne said. 

In defense of the 

university, they need the 

income from meal plans to 

make this a better place to 

live and study. But we 

residential students should 

not be forced into a deal that 

rips us off.

to stand up to this and take

This fall, the Pfeiffer 

University Athletics Hall of 

Fame inducted new members 

for the 2011 year: James Fritz, 

Candace Phifer and the 1961 

men’s soccer team. The 

ceremony was held September 

23, with a buffet dinner for the 

inductees and various athletic 

leaders on campus. 

“It was a blessing to be 

able to witness Candace, Jim, 

and the 1961 soccer team get 

inducted into the Hall of 

Fame,” head women’s lacrosse 

coach Dawn Easley said. “It 

was obvious that they all have 

fond memories of their four 

years as a student here.” 

James Fritz, the men’s 

lacrosse coach from 1990 to 

2002 and Pfeiffer’s cross 

country coach from 1990 to 

1994, was the first inductee. 

In his career, he coached 22 

All-American players, 60 All- 

Conference players, and three

ATHLETICS HALL OF FAME RECEIVES 

NEW INDUCTEES 

players who were 

professionally drafted. Fritz 

was Conference Coach of the 

Year in 1997 and 1999 and 

holds the most wins in 

Pfeiffer lacrosse history. 

He’s also in the top ten in 

the NCAA Division II for 

wins and win percentage. 

In cross country, Fritz 

coached the women’s team 

to the 1992-1993 Conference 

Championship, led nine All- 

Conference performers and 

coached seven National 

qualifiers. He also held 

numerous leadership roles 

within the athletics 

department for the college. 

The highlight for the 

sport of cross country was 

fellow inductee Candace 

Phifer, a 2000 graduate. 

She was not only team MVP 

all four years of her career, 

but also All-Conference for the 

entire time as well. She was 

voted Pfeiffer Female Athlete of 

the Year three years in a row for 

her standout performance in 

running and basketball. 

Phifer holds multiple school 

records in women’s basketball, 

including career rebounds, games 

played, career free throw 

percentage, and season high free 

throw record. She is ranked third 

all-time in career points (1,589), 

and was All-Conference her junior 

and senior year. As strong as her 

athletic career was, Phifer was 

also a model student-athlete, 

placing in the Academic All- 

Conference team in 1998 and 

2000, and receiving the Murphy 

Osborne Award, an honor given to 

the Conference Carolinas athlete 

with outstanding academic 

records, in 1999. 

The 1961 men’s 

soccer team was the final 

inductee of the night. 

They posted nine wins 

for the successful season. 

Their victories included 

games against N.C. 

State, the University of 

South Carolina and 

Appalachian State 

University. Their only 

loss was to the 

University of North 

Carolina. 

“Their contributions 

to our school were 

inspiring and as a coach 

it makes me want to 

work hard to make sure 

my teams have the same 

experience,” Easley said. 

“In order to move 

forward we must 

appreciate our past and 

The 1961 Men’s Soccer Team 

this year’s banquet gave me 

perspective on both.” 

“The inductees honored by 

this year’s Hall of Fame 

ceremony were people and 

teams who epitomized Falcon 

athletics and Pfeiffer as a 

whole,” said Grady Gaston, 

head sports chaplain and the 

speaker of the ceremony’s 

invocation. “It was awesome 

seeing some of the best 

players and coaches we have 

ever had, and really neat 

hearing the stories and jokes 

from years past.” 

The new inductees join 

over ten years of Pfeiffer 

Athletics Hall of Fame 

traditions. New members are 

inducted every year.

Pfeiffer’s Men’s 

Lacrosse is currently in the 

midst of preparing for the 

upcoming 2012 season, but 

this team already has a 

unique feel. That’s because 

the roster has three sets of 

brothers. Phil and Tucker 

Hammock from Marietta, 

GA., Chris and Tom Buckley 

of Edmonton, Alberta, and 

freshman identical twins 

Eddie and Andrew Suh of 

Colchester, CT. make 

lacrosse a family affair. 

“It’s great that I get 

the chance to not only go to 

school with my brother, but I 

SPORTS 

ALL IN THE FAMILY 

get the chance to play college 

lacrosse with him,” 

sophomore Tucker Hammock 

explains. “Not every one gets 

this opportunity, and it’s 

pretty awesome.” 

One might wonder if 

there is an identity crisis 

when it comes to identical 

twins playing college lacrosse 

together, but that’s just not 

the case. 

“Aside from our 

different numbers, being 

underneath those pads and 

gear it might be hard to tell 

Eddie and I apart,” freshman 

Andrew Suh said. “But we do 

play a little differently and we have 

a different style out on the field, 

and it makes it a little easier for 

people to tell us apart out on the 

field.” 

So what are some of the 

possible benefits of a team having 

multiple families within a team? 

“I think it goes a long way 

with instilling chemistry with our 

team,” sophomore Steven Tilmon 

said. “All those guys have a certain 

familiarity out on the field together, 

and I can only see it as a positive 

for this team.” 

One thing is for certain, 

this year’s team gives a whole new 

meaning to the term “Lax Bros”. 

The Falcons open their 

season February 17 at Coker.

tables and beds for taping, 

stretching, and 

rehabilitation. In addition to 

tables and beds, there are 

brand new cabinets, floors, 

and a fresh paint job. Head 

trainer Allen Snook really 

pushed for renovations for his 

athletes by finding 

anonymous donors and even 

kicking in a little of his own 

money to give the training 

room a better feel. 

“It looks great, but 

I’m more into functionality,” 

Snook said. “From a

more professional look.” 

The renovations are 

already meeting their goals. 

“It seems people can 

move around here pretty 

easily and really know the

observed. “It’s peace of mind 

knowing the trainers will

The old equipment is 

still in use, giving away 

teams the opportunity to get

allowing Pfeiffer to make use 

of it in their locker rooms.

Two individual records 

as well as two team records 

vaulted the men’s golf team 

to a twenty stroke victory 

over Bluefield State College 

September 19-20 at the

Records that had stood for 

almost a decade fell easily as 

sophomore Luiz Jacintho led 

the way for the Falcons with 

a 138 two-day total, including 

a final round 65 that 

consisted of six birdies and 

an eagle. When all was said 

and done he had set the one

“I’m honored to have my

books,” Jacintho said. 

Senior Cameron Fields, 

sophomore Michael Blair, 

junior Thomas Sennett and 

sophomore Alejandro Valls 

rounded out the Pfeiffer “Ateam” 

on route to a record 

273 (-11) on the final day of 

the event. Pfeiffer began the 

day tied with Bluefield State 

but blazed past them and 

wound up with a twenty 

stroke margin of victory. 

Pfeiffer’s 273 final day and 

two day total of 565 (-3) 

bested the previous one and 

two day records set in 2001. 

“It feels good to set two 

individual and team records 

in one day, as well as win 

this tournament for the 

second year in a row,” 

Jacintho added. “Our team is 

very good and I’m looking 

forward to us trying to beat it 

the rest of the year.” 

“Today was a special 

day, I had been associated 

with national championship 

teams before and I felt the 

same excitement watching 

these guys,” Coach Greg 

Flesher said. “We play smart, 

but not with fear.”

Former Pfeiffer 

Cheerleader Erica Burroughs 

was added to the squad as a 

co-advisor. She brings a lot of 

wisdom and knowledge to the 

table about cheerleading. 

“We are extremely 

blessed to have Erica 

Burroughs as a co-advisor,” 

Kaminski said. 

Currently, 

cheerleaders are focusing 

their training on workouts 

rather than practices. This 

system is geared toward 

making the team stronger 

with their jumps and moves. 

“We definitely want 

the team to be prepared 

physically for the full 

necessities of a game,” 

Kaminski said. 

The squad will 

showcase their moves at 

Falcon basketball games. 

“My personal goals 

for the team are to improve 

the knowledge and ability to 

be awesome cheerleaders,” 

Kaminski added. “Also, I 

want each individual to be 

able to see his or her growth 

through the semester.”

For the third year in a row Pfeiffer's Lady Falcons provided a great day of 

basketball fun for local Special Olympic athletes. On Saturday, October 1, athletes 

gathered in Merner Gym to receive instruction on basic basketball skills provided 

by the women’s basketball team. After an hour of skills assessment the athletes 

were divided into teams, with Lady Falcons playing alongside Special Olympic 

athletes in half-court scrimmage games. The Stanly County Warriors then gave 

the Lady Falcons a run for their money in full-court competition.
