All of the international business major courses come from either existing courses in international business or a list of options from the Evans school that involve international relations, Grout said. Grout said students are also encouraged to take a foreign language. New foreign language classes will be created that focus on the language involved in business. The international business co-major has already been approved by the academic council and will begin in the fall of 2014. The creative technology major has yet to be approved by the academic council, but it is currently in the process of being constructed. Nadeem Hamid, Associate Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science, said he sparked interest in the creative technology major because of a class that he taught in Physical Computing.

Stockwell-Goering, who is working with Jay Daniel, associate professor of animal science, is focusing her research project on the role of the hormone grehlin in castrated male sheep. Grehlin is made by the stomach and stimulates feed intake. This hormone is also found in humans. There was a study in people where they showed them pictures of food and grehlin [levels] went up, Daniel said. We wanted to see if a similar concept would work in animals where if they saw things that made them think they were going to eat, that that would make grehlin go up too. To test this theory, StockwellGoering and Daniel gathered a group of sheep and put muzzles on some of them. A bucket of food was then placed near the sheep, but the sheep wearing muzzles could not eat. The experiment was also done at a feeding time that was unfamiliar to the sheep. T h e e x p e r i m e n t wa s performed on castrated male sheep to eliminate the possible interference of sex hormones. Stockwell-Goering and Daniel worked on a similar experiment last year involving pregnant female sheep, and StockwellGoering said that may have influenced their results. Stockwell-Goering used the funds from the grant to purchase the materials for the experiment, which included syringes and 6 mL tubes, and a fee to have the materials analyzed at the University of Missouri. The materials are still at the University of Missouri and are waiting to be analyzed. Applications to be a Synovus Scholar next year are due on March 24, 2014.

History of j ack-o'-lanterns
APRIL HEARN
asst. features editor
Whether you were completely apathetic towards Halloween growing up or your family religiously went to the pumpkin patch every year to pick out the perfect jack-o-lantern-to-be, you are probably familiar with the tradition. Carving out pumpkins in celebration of Halloween has been an American tradition for many centuries. There are many different styles people take up to make their pumpkins unique. Simple faces with little more than two eyes and a grimace are still popular, but many people choose to go all out and make entire Halloween scenes or intricate characters. Even though many people have carved pumpkins for years, not everyone knows how carving jack-o'-lanterns became a Halloween tradition. Halloween became a holiday because it was the eve of All Hallows Day, which was a Christian holiday that celebrated saints and martyrs who had lived years before and who were worthy of such notoriety. Some historians also think that Halloween may be related to a Celtic harvest season festival called Samhain, which celebrated the end of the season. There were also superstitious beliefs held about this particular time. The Gaels folklore went that the separation between the living and the dead was taken away on Oct. 31 and people would do things to appease or entertain the dead who came back on this one day. The jack-o'-lantern was used as a way of scaring off evil spirits, but more recently they tend to just provide a fun activity to take part in. While a pumpkin may seem like the first obvious necessity for a jack-o'-lantern, the earliest jack-o'-lanterns were quite different. If you were one of the earliest Halloween carvers, you would have reached for a much smaller, more difficult-to-carve vegetable. The first jack-o'-lanterns were actually carved out of potatoes and turnips in Scotland and Ireland, and instead of containing candles for light they were filled with coals from peoples fires; quite a bit different from the plump orange pumpkins used commonly today. The use of pumpkins for jacko'-lanterns is an American concept, likely taken from the Native Americans. Before they ever became a symbol of Halloween, pumpkins were grown as a food source by the Native Americans. They had a variety of ways of cooking them and preparing them that spans far beyond our tradition of baking the seeds or making pie. The pilgrims adopted the pumpkin and came up with many of their own uses, spanning from pumpkin beer to haircut templates made from the orange outer layer. Eventually it was also discovered that pumpkins made much more desirable mediums than turnips for carving, finally bringing us to the big, bright jack-o'-lanterns seen frequently today. Pumpkins have officially been adopted as a strong symbol of Halloween and of fall. They are everywhere this time of year, and even our coffee beverages have adopted their flair. Carving pumpkins is one aspect of Halloween that can be done and appreciated by people in any age range, and it has a long-standing reputation for being a fun fall activity.

Gravity a must-see lm
COMMENTARY BY PAUL WATSON
editor-in-chief
In a culture infiltrated by the Avengers and Michael Bay, Gravity is welcome beacon of solace. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) and Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) are two astronauts who are working on fixing repairs on the Hubble telescope. A debris field comes speeding in their direction, and part of the debris knocks Stone off the satellite and spinning away from the earth into space. What makes this movie stand out is that it is a slower filmand thats not a bad thing. Superman isnt destroying a city to save a girl; huge balls of fire arent filling the screen every few seconds. Rather, the film seems to replicate what Stone and Kowalski are experiencing as they move about in space. Even in tense moments, there seems to be a sense of relaxation as the astronauts float about in a vast nothingness. So if a non-stop adrenaline rush is what youre looking for, this movie may not be your best
option. Though Bullock and Clooney headline the film, the true stars here are the VFX technicians. I dont think Ive ever seen a more beautiful backdrop for a film than what is created here. The sheer vastness of space can be surmised simply by seeing the pinprick figure of Bullock in an untethered float; it is mind-boggling to attempt comprehending even the distance between the earth and the International Space Station. The soundtrack is another highlight of this film. A relatively unknown director named Steven Price composed it, and he created a masterpiece. The score mostly consists of lofty violins that seem to be orbiting Earth with the astronauts, while an almost uncomfortable tension signifies what is to come. Though you could wait to see it on DVD (or whatever streaming website you use), this movie was made for the big screen. It is out in 3D, and it is one of the very few movies I would ever endorse to see in that format. This is truly one of the best films that will come out this year. Dont miss out on this experience.

A Style Column

Sometimes its hard to find clothes that match your individual style. As a longstanding obsessor over menswear, I know this struggle all too well. Apparently a lot of people think that dressing nicely is simply too expensive and/or time consuming. What people do not realize is, dressing nicely doesnt have to be expensive or time consuming. Youre probably not the only one on a budget, so dont play like you are. We all are. In my early struggles towards stylistic grace, I quickly figured out that its actually rather easy to find pieces that are either timeless or statements without taking my Wells Fargo bank account and smashing it over a shrine to Tom Ford, as much as I would like to. Your first step to a new wardrobe should be Goodwill, or a similarly equipped thrift store. Thrift stores like Goodwill are notorious, thanks to the rapper Macklemores song Thrift Shop for having off-thewall, gaudy and often pass vintage pieces that no one really wants to buy. (Unless you know the rules, and you know how to break them correctly.) Newsflash: Thrift stores have a lot more than neon zebra FUBU jumpsuits. Follow me here: There are a lot of wealthy people in Rome. Goodwill depends on donations of clothing from people in the area which they are built. Basically, wealthy people are funneling clothes into a thrift store. I cannot count the times Ive found and bought brands like Cole Haan, Brooks Brothers, Christian Dior, etc in the Rome Goodwill. Sure, brand hunting isnt the singular goal of shopping but celebrated brands like the ones Ive just mentioned are time honored to be of both quality and style. You could potentially buy a new wardrobe from Goodwill for well under $100. Its easy to get bogged down while youre diving through the stacks of Goodwill proper, but its important to walk in with zero expectations. If youre looking for something very specific, youll almost always be disappointed. I go through the racks rather haphazardly, scanning each color, pattern, and texture. I do not stop unless something particularly catches my eye. This emphasizes the time-saving aspect of Goodwill - its easy to dismiss so much because its either a used McDonalds uniform, or a Christian Dior fitted polo shirt. Guilt-free stylistic gluttony is in good health at Goodwill. Just do not buy sleepwear from thrift stores. Thats just gross. Do you have style questions? Email them to campus_carrier@ berry.edu and Ryder will answer all of your style woes weekly.
ZOMBIES ATTACK haunted house visitors as they end their tour. Berry College Alternate Realities 11th annual haunted house drew a record number of students.
Senior Brittany Simmons said she liked that the waiting time did not seem as long this year. It was a huge improvement from last year, Simmons said. Sophomore Jingyi Yan said, I enjoyed it and it was not as scary as I thought it would be, so Im glad. The scariest part for me was to go through the dark tunnel. Bradley said BCAR is greatly appreciative of everyone who came out and enjoyed the event. She also said she wanted to thank all the volunteers who helped make the event possible and a success. This annual event has been hosted by BCAR since 2002 and they have plans to continue hosting it for the foreseeable future.

that they have a good chance of maintaining our name in the Intercollegiate Horse Show (IHSA) world. Our new riders in both hunt seat and western proved that they were a force to be reckoned with in the show ring, Foster said. We had many high placings, and not all on easy horses. Our veteran riders definitely rode hard, and showed that they hadnt lost their touch over the summer. I think that we accomplished much due to the fact that we hosted and won both shows. Foster placed third in Novice Equisition for Saturdays show and Eichkoff placed first in Beginners Horsemanship for both shows on Sunday. Foster said that even though they had a home field advantage, it was difficult to focus and rest up when they were responsible for getting everything together and making sure the shows ran smoothly. Foster said the girls would spend countless hours organizing and cleaning the entire barn, taking care of the horses, painting the jumps, stocking the concession stands, and file Despite having to pull everything together, the girls persevered and were still able to come through with the wins in all three shows, Foster said. Sophomore hunt seat rider Megan Boswell said that she believes that both teams have a chance to go to nationals. So far, we are doing very well and we can only grow from here, in skill and as a team, Boswell said. Being on the team has really forced me to figure out my priorities and where they lie. My teammates are very helpful and they are one of the reasons that I continue to ride for Berry. Both teams will return at the Berry Thanksgiving Classic on Saturday, Nov. 16.
