SGA election results
Volume 80, Issue 26 Web Edition
By Jordan Laws Staff Writer
The new President and Vice President of BC’s SGA are Steve Olson and Adrian Isa respectively. BC students can expect an exciting year to come as the Executive Board shifts with a new era. Olson and Isa promise BIG changes and a more interactive SGA which are monumental tasks. We will all witness these changes, or lack thereof, in the coming year. “First order of business will be meeting with the Executive Board and the entire SGA to discuss our plan, starting with restructuring SGA, and get everyone’s thoughts on that restructure.” Olson said. It seems like President Elect Olson will have a challenging road to travel but he seems hopeful that the faculty, student body, and SGA will support him. He encourages students to reach out to him so their voices can be heard. “As always, all students can contact me through
[email protected], or my Facebook page. I am not only happy to hear from anyone with questions, concerns, or suggestions, but I WANT to.” Olson and Isa will make a formidable alliance in the coming year. They care about the same is-

sues, want the same changes, and want the student body to communicate their concerns with them. “Me and Adrian will work very well together. I have spoken with him and it seems as though we have similar visions for next year.” Olson continues, “My message to the student body is: get ready. Get involved. Let your voice be heard. It’s going to be a great year.” Those are encouraging promises and I certainly hope they come to pass. Isa cannot say enough kind words about the student body for electing him as Vice President. “I would like to thank each and every single student that voted for me. Thank you for placing your trust in me, and making me your Vice President.” He wants to rebuild the connection between the student body and its government. “My priority is to connect students with SGA. I am determined to make the students’ voices heard, valued, and respected. Furthermore, I want SGA to for part of the students’ daily life and for SGA to be that connection between the administration and the student body.” That is quite a task but Isa is confident that these

BC’s new housing lottery explained
By Casey Whitmire Staff Writer
This year Brevard College and Campus Life have decided to put in place a lottery system in regards to Housing Selection. Students have been ranked in categories based on their class, GPA, involvement, and disciplinary history. Students are placed in one of four categories based on that score and then select a scratch-off card with a corresponding number based on their group, examples being 1-100, 101-200 and so on. The thought behind this is that a sophomore with a good GPA who is highly involved and has no disciplinary record should be able to select their room before a senior who has a low GPA, isn't involved on campus and has a lengthy disciplinary record. Not many people could argue with that theory.
The problem with this is that some students slip through the cracks. Maybe their involvement on campus has gone unrecognized because they don't log them for scholarships. Maybe they faced disciplinary action their freshman year and now as a senior they've been put in a late group. One thing many students have spoken out against is finding out that their friends who are in a lower class than they are have an earlier number. There have been questions about freshman having drawn 2 or 8 or even 68, while juniors and seniors are in the late 100s or even 200s. The answer behind that came with the revelation that some current "freshmen" have come in with AP credits or transfer credits which actually places them as juniors or sophomores. I sat down with Campus Life staff last week to address some of the issues that students had
been voicing since the start of the housing selection process. Together we discussed the issues and confusion behind this lottery. The fact is that this is the first time since many of the Campus Life staff have been at BC that there has been a lottery put in place. After this lottery takes place the process can be refined and tweaked making it a smoother process. After this week when everything is said and done the whole process will be much clearer and the confusion will hopefully dissipate. I know that before I sat down with Campus Life I was very confused and had little faith in this process. However, after sitting and talking with them I have faith that the process will go smoothly and if not I know that they will do their best to refine it next year.

Jazz ambience in April Page 2
By Jentry Womack Staff Writer
Brevard College’s Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Combo filled the Porter Center last week with pieces from Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, Oscar Hammerstein, and many more. Jazz Concerts at BC are notorious for filling the seats of our auditorium, and this night was no exception. This concert, led by director Jamie Warren, featured a variety of soloists, including alumni, faculty, and our own seniors. The Jazz Ensemble started the concert off with a popular hit from the 1960’s, “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy,” written by Joe Zawinul. This song was written for the artist Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, who debuted the song on his album, Mercy, Mercy, Mercy! Live at 'The Club'.
Further into the concert, vocals were introduced as Alisha Carland joined the ensemble and performed “‘S Wonderful,” written by George Gershwin. “‘S Wonderful” has been performed by innumerable artists since it’s release in 1927, including many famous vocalists, such as Gene Kelly, Ella Fitzgerald, and Judy Garland. Carland, with the accompaniment of her peers, dazzled her audience with her brilliant and charming timbre. This song also featured an instrumental soloist: Sarah Quackenbush on tenor saxophone. As “‘S Wonderful” ended, the trombone quartet played a version of “Happy Birthday,” arranged by Cameron Nixon, as a surprise to the vocalist. Cameron Nixon was also a performer in the Jazz Combo, along with De’Angelo Smotherson, Chris Center, Jason DeCristofaro, and Jamie War-
‘Furious 7’: Ridiculous. Stupid. Fun. By Michael Heiskell Staff Writer
“Furious 7” is a fast paced and utterly ridiculous action film, filled with more muscle bound heroes than “The Expendables” and infinitely cooler. There are parachuting sports cars and action scenes that stupefy as well as confuse. It was pretty weird. The plot to “Furious 7” is about as ridiculous as you would expect. It follows the crew from the older movies as they are being hunted by Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) for the death of his brother. It’s not just about surviving with your crew, it’s about surviving with your family. I spent the larger part of Easter break trying to watch as many of the older Fast and Furious movies as I could. This was both mind numbing and fairly enjoyable. Some of them were okay, some were bad, and some were really bad, but this was definitely one of the best. It’s silly and stupid but that’s kind of the point. Actors Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Vin Diesel provide worthy leads and it was just super fun overall. It’s definitely not about racing anymore, to be honest the plot direction makes little to no sense and this is coming from somebody who just marathoned the franchise. I can definitely say that this film did everything they set out to do. It’s action packed, has awesome cars, and amazing stunts. That being said, it doesn’t bring anything new to the table. The stunts are bigger, yes, but the characters feel just as flat as they always have. The film does however broach the subject of Paul Walker’s death with class and I’m sure that many of the loyal Fast and Furious franchise fans will feel the loss.
This film is just a little too ludicrous (pun intended) to be taken seriously. While undeniably fun, “Furious 7” lacks any substance or reality. I would give this film a 3 ½ out of 5 and recommend people see it for a fun diversion but don’t expect anything too special.

ren. One of the songs that was performed by the combo was “Yesterdays,” composed by Jerome Kern, a hit released in 1933. De’Angelo Smotherson and Carl Stanfield were honored at the end of the evening by their director, as the two seniors who will graduate this coming May. A number of faculty also regularly joins our Jazz Ensemble, including Brian Hermanson, Ryan Donovan, Cameron Austin, and Jason Decristofaro. DeCristofaro is also a BC graduate as well as Henry Westmoreland. This was the Jazz Ensemble and Combo’s final concert for the semester, but the Porter Center will be filled with beautiful music again very soon! Tuesday, April 14, many of the Jazz Ensemble members will reconvene on stage for the BC Wind Ensemble Concert at 7:30 p.m.

Ryan R iscassi
April 8, 2015
| The Clarion
Casey Whitemire Staff Writer
BC is known for many things, whether it be the arts, athletics, or simply the location. Senior, Ryan Riscassi is preferable to the first of the three. Riscassi is an Art major concentrating in painting and photography. Riscassi comes to Brevard from Arlington, Virginia, the member of a large military family. Growing up he lived the life of a military brat, moving from place to place. "The life of a military brat has been a huge inspiration in my life and I contribute a lot of my character to the experience I gained through my adaptive life." When I asked him at what age he knew he wanted to be an artist, he told me that "I don't think there was an age I said ‘I want to be an artist’ it was just something that I had always done and will continue to do regardless of my path." BC means many things to many people and like every senior about to graduate Riscassi has his own feelings on the topic. "BC for me was the last stepping stone I needed to start my life and officially be on my own in the world. It will forever be the place that has given me lifelong friends and a great experiential education I can take with me." Every department at BC contains students whose accomplishments and progress attest to the greatness of the department, and the Art Department at BC is no exception. "Brevard has been a huge influence on my character, I have grown as a person here and as I have grown into the person
I want to be my art has grown significantly more meaningful." "The Art department has grown over the past few years to be more of a family for me. I spend most of my time in the art building even if I am not doing art; I do my homework there and just hang out with friends and teachers. It has become a huge part of my life to be around such an encouraging and creative environment." Riscassi continues, "My teachers have had a huge influence on my life; they have given me the skills to succeed in art and overcome any obstacle I encounter. They have become close friends that will always contribute positively to my life." Between classes in the art building, many students will step into different studios to see what classmates are working on. Students who step into the painting studio are often treated to the amazing works by Ryan Riscassi. As you walk into the studio, Riscassi's work station is directly in front of you. His work is the first to be seen when entering the room and often draws students closer to examine the intricacy of each piece. When asked how he comes up with ideas for his work, Riscassi explained, "Each piece of work I make is influenced by the experiences I have been presented within my life. My current work in painting derived from the feeling of tension and the uncertainty of my future. In my photography I am fascinated by the overlooked and actively seek distortion and light in a confined space. I use these interests of feelings to help me decide the path I take to produce any artwork I make." Every artist, no matter what their concentration
Karen Bennett
By Alex Webster Arts & Life Editor
With only about three weeks until graduation, theatre major Karen Bennett has a full plate. She will complete her last few classes, fulfill and exceed requirements for her senior project, and spend her last few moments as a Brevard College student. Bennett has attended Brevard College for three years after transferring from Guilford Technical College in Jamestown, North Carolina. She enjoys stage management and acting, and plays guitar in her free time.
Bennett has performed this year in the two fall productions Comedy Double Feature: The Actor’s Nightmare and The Actor Wakes, and Not with a Bang but a Whimper. Her senior project, Freud’s Last Session, is an imagined conversation between Sigmund Freud and C. S. Lewis. She is directing sophomores Logan Taylor, Freud, and Joshua Goldstein, C. S. Lewis. The performances will be April 16, 17, and 18 at 7 p.m. and April 19 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are only $5 and are available at etix.com and at Southern Comfort Records.

or medium, stands out in one way or another. When asked how he stands out compared to his classmates Riscassi replied, "We all have different interests we like to explore at this particular time. My work is different from my peers because our senior work derives from our interests and experiences up to this point. We have all taken different paths to get to where we are and our work reflects this whether we choose it to or not." "I think my paintings are different in their theme. My paintings are very much related to my past, my uncertain future, and my literal commentary of myself overcoming the feelings of tension." Riscassi has just finished his senior show. He has done two projects for each of his concentrations. One is a series of paintings that consist of bound, wound, or tied ordinary objects that represent tension. "The ordinary object is paired with a side panel that is my artistic take on tension, consisting of a relative element to the larger panel and a raven." In his photography he has been photographing on metallic spheres and through glass spheres. "I use a tightly cropped format to bring the viewer into the sphere to experience a new and distorted world." When asked about his biggest achievements while at BC, Riscassi laughed. “I don't know,” he says. “The biggest achievement for me personally is to complete this upcoming senior show. It is the finish line to my marathon." A finish line that this writer is sure that he is on track to cross. Students who spend any amount of time at BC often begin to think of it as their home. Many decide to stay in Brevard after graduating, but that's not always the case. "I will miss everything about Brevard; it has become my home and a wonderful growing point in my life. I have made lifelong friends here and memories that will last forever." After graduating, Riscassi will be pursuing a career in Photography or Graphic Design.

Tornados place second at BC baseball falls to home tournament By Calum McAndrew Staff Writer
The Brevard College golf team finished in second place, in its one day home event at Etowah Valley Golf Club. Five teams from the South Atlantic Conference sent teams to the event, with Tusculum University eventually taking the honours, with an eight over par team total of 296. The Tornados finished four strokes behind Tusculum, with a team total of twelve over for the day. Other teams participating in the event included Catawba, Mars Hill, and a selection of individuals form the North Greenville team. Brevard freshman, Trym Falch, led the scoring for the Tornados, with a one over par score of 73, ultimately falling just one stroke short of Tusculum’s Warren Chaney, who posted the day’s best score of 72.
The next best scorer for the Tornados, was sophomore Sebastian Strehl, who posted a three over par 75, to put him in a tie for fifth on the day. Completing the scoring for Brevard, were sophomores Luis Vega and Oskar Lundgren who both shot four over par, placing them together in tied eighth place. Freshman, Craig Stephen was also involved on the day, posting an eight over par score of eighty. Brevard also had a number of individuals playing in the tournament, with freshman, Florian Peyssoneaux shooting the lowest score out of them all, with a seven over par, 79. This tournament was the final one of the year for the Tornados before the team play in the SAC Championships in less than two weeks time. The side will travel to Firethorne Golf Club in Charlotte, where they will round of the season, knowing they need a win to qualify for the regional championships, which will take place in May.
Men’s lacrosse triumph over LMU By Lizzie Graham Staff Writer
This past weekend, the men’s lacrosse team won in overtime against Lincoln Memorial University, 5-4. With this win, the Tornados earned themselves a spot in the conference tournament as a second year program. Player Alex Bazzell secured the spot for the Tornados when he scored the winning goal in overtime. After LMU had two of their shots blocked, the Tornados got the ball into the offensive zone before calling a timeout. Coming out of the timeout Bazzell had control of the ball and sped past his defender before ripping a shot past the keeper for the game. Andy Reilly was also a key factor for the Tornados when he stopped a point blank shot with a
little under 7 minutes left in the quarter, keeping a tied score. Reilly then stopped another breathtaking shot from LMU with just two seconds left in the quarter. Reilly had a total of 14 saves, while the other scorers were Anthony Alfonso, Matthew Dropulijc and Sam Postma. Brevard won six face-offs and LMU had seven. The Tornados outshot LMU 37-29, including 12-5 in the first period and 11-5 in the fourth. LMU ended up out-shooting Brevard in the second period, but LMU gave up more turnovers than Brevard did with 24 and Brevard with 18. Each team was successful in all, but one clear difference being the visitors having made 26 attempts to the hosts’ 21. So come out and support the mens team one last time as they wrap up the regular season this saturday at noon for senior day.
Anderson By Lizzie Graham Staff Writer
This weekend the baseball team fell short to Anderson 6-0 due to a great game of pitching by Anderson’s duo, Nick Contafil and Michael Skelly. In the second game of the series, things started to look better for the Tornados as John Slade and Christian Dix both gave equal contributions for the Tornados. Slade started the game with a single, marking the eleventh time in the last 12 games that Slade has reached base safely with a hit. Dix ended up with a performance of 2 for 4 at the plate, adding a couple of singles to his stats. For the total on the weekend, Dix went 5 for 10 while raising his batting average to .900 in the three-game series. The Trojans, who are 17-20 and 11-13 in the SAC, gained control of the game in the bottom of the second inning. Anderson needed to score 2 runs in the inning, as one was unearned after a ball was misplayed in the infield. Unfortunately, J.D. Chaplain suffered a stat loss after giving up 8 hits which earned the Trojans 5 runs. However, Chaplain didn’t allow any walks and added 3 more strikeouts to his name. Brevard continued their season with a non-conference game against Montreat on Tuesday.

Women’s lacrosse fall to Lees-McRae By Lizzie Graham Staff Writer
Despite Brevard College Women’s Lacrosse team falling short to Lees-McRae 20-19 this past Friday, BC still made history, yet again, for the program. Caitlyn Nemeth ended up scoring her career-high with nine goals and two assists. Another outstanding performance came from Alyssa Barrett, adding six tallies, while Kelly Kearnam added three goals and an assist to the stats. Sade Allen also added a tally, and an assist, while teammates Livia Harrienger and Nina Siu each contributed to the game, adding an assist apiece. Goalie Shelby Arsenault was challenged with 39 shots, allowing 20 goals saving 10 in net. Barrett gave the Tornados an early 1-0 lead with an assist from Harrienger, just two minutes into the game. Shortly after, the Bobcats rallied back with two goals, less than 18 seconds apart from each other for a 2-1 lead. Nemeth came through for Brevard and tied the game at two, with twenty five minutes left in the first half. Again, the Bobcats were able to take back the lead with two more goals to make it 4-2. With a little over 10 minutes gone in the game, Nemeth contributed once more with her second tally of the game. But 37 seconds later, the home team answered with another shot right before Nemeth netted her third goal of the game to make it 5-4 Bobcats. Once again, Barrett follows through, and scores her second goal to tie the game 5-5 after she fol-
lowed her own shot and scored on the rebound with half of the first half left to play. After trailing the Bobcats briefly, the Tornados again tied the game 6-6 with Barrett’s third goal of the day. After the Bobcats regained the lead, Kearnan added a goal to tie the game with a little over six minutes left in the first half. And Nemeth gave Brevard a 9-7 lead with just under five minutes left, before the Bobcats scored two times in a row to tie the game at nine. By the end of the first half, Lees-McRae had a lead of 10-9. Lees-McRae started the second half with two goals before Brevard could answer. The Bobcats went on to build a 16-11 advantage with eighteen minutes left in the game. Tornados then fought back to tie the game at 17, as four different Brevard players tallied with ten minutes left in the game. The Bobcats fought back as well and scored two late goals forcing Brevard to take a timeout with a little under three minutes left. Brevard continued to score with both Barrett and Kearnan being able to tie the game 19-19 with just two minutes left in the half. The Tornados gave everything they had to finish the game off, but the home team pulled through and found the back of the net one last time to take the final lead in the contest. The Tornados have three more home games remaining in the regular season, the first being this Saturday against Lincoln Memorial. The game is set to begin at 4 p.m. so come out and support our women's Lacrosse team!

bridges will be built. For Isa to hear the voices of the students he has to make himself available and just like Olson, he has opened the channels. “Anytime students require my services they can contact me personally through email, calls or texts, or any type of social media. No matter what your concern is, your voice matters to me and the other members of the SGA.” His email is isaga@ brevard.edu. The two seem more than gracious for the votes and incredibly optimistic about their work and the future of SGA-to-Student Body relations. Olson is a powerhouse and is more than likely going to accomplish a lot of things as President or, at least, get us pumped up for change but that’s better than nothing right? And with the help of Isa the two will keep the spirits of the student body high if not with change, with hope. That’s what it’s all about isn’t it? Hope. This is going to be an exciting year indeed and we, as the student body, have a chance to be heard by people who can actually help us. Isa finished my questions with something that I feel will be the resonating message of next year: “I am very honored and excited to be your Vice President for the upcoming school year. GO TORNADOS!!” Honor, excitement, and hope; what more can we ask for?
Kenneth Chamlee, Katherine Scott Crawford, and Jubal Tiner, all who teach at BC, will be reading from their poetry and fiction, either forthcoming or in progress, on Thursday night, April 9, at 7 p.m. in MG 125.
