PROFESSOR OF PHILOSOPHY DAVID MCKENZIE WILL BE RETIRING next month after 36 years at Berry.
for their beliefs. Other schools, McKenzie said, enforce religious values too strongly. On the other side, you have private colleges and universities which are what I call creedal, McKenzie said. Professors have to sign a document when they come to teach you have some restrictions there with what [beliefs] the professors teaching in the religion department can hold. McKenzie said he appreciates Berrys Christian faith as well as the religious freedom it allows on campus. We honor the Christian faith, McKenzie said. We are Christian in spirit, and we have Christian values, but theres no creed that somebody has to sign. Lidke said McKenzies message about inclusivity of Christianity and the importance of Berry as a welcoming community has also inspired him. He has inspired me in regards to demonstrating how we can be an institution that is grounded in Christian values and welcoming of others, Lidke said. This has shaped how I teach my classes and has also informed my work as chair of both the Interfaith Council and the department of religion and philosophy. Lidke said one of his fondest memories of McKenzie is a speech McKenzie gave in 2008 on this topic as part of a course which Lidke taught. His comments there about Christianity as an inclusivist religion and the call by Jesus to be compassionate were very inspiring, Lidke said. It was a great moment in which McKenzie the teacher and McKenzie the preacher came together. Junior Nathan Womack, who has been in

Provost Kathy Richardson has been awarded the 2014 Distinguished Alumni Scholar Award from the University of Georgia Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication. The recipient of this highly selective award is chosen by a panel of faculty at Grady. The first UGA Distinguished Alumni Scholar Award was offered in 2006. Richardson is the fifth recipient. We are excited to have her as an alumnus, Diane Murray, director of alumni relations and outreach at the University of Georgia, said. It is great when we can highlight the achievements of someone in both mass communication and education. Richardson has been at Berry since 1986. She arrived on staff shortly before Berry started its communication program and played an integral role in the establishment of the communication major and the public relations concentration in particular. Currently, she serves as provost. However, even with her growing responsibilities in Hermann Hall, she has not stopped teaching. Over the years, Richardson has taught courses in media law, media ethics, journalism and public relations in the communication department. I hope this serves as encouragement to others that you can do worthy scholarship at a small college, Richardson said of her award. Not only that, but I get the added benefit of teaching wonderful undergraduate students. Engaging with students in the classroom is often the bright spot in my day. Richardson also laid the groundwork for the first Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) at Berry. By building a captivating curriculum and congregating a critical mass of students, she created a student organization that has been a big success for the communication program.
The Berry bluebird cam became operational on April 9, and is an option for those looking for a different bird watching experience than the renowned eagle cam. The bluebird cam, which has generated over 300,000 views and counting, features four eggs, referred to as a clutch, and their mother bluebird. The incubation period is expected to end around May 1, with the four bluebird chicks emerging from their eggs. The bluebird camera feed appears in black and white because the nest box, in which the bluebird eggs currently reside, is dark and the camera uses infrared light. Chris Kozelle, director of news and editorial services, explained how the success of the eagle cam has helped spur and grow new endeavors. As part of the service that we use for the eagle cam, you can have more than one cam without paying extra for it, Kozelle said. We promoted the bluebird cam on the Berry College eagle page. This promotion is most likely the single biggest driving force in the success of the bluebird cam, and Kozelle said Berry is also planning on putting up a beehive cam to view the beehives from the Berry Bees student enterprise. Renee Carleton, associate professor of biology, played a major role in bringing a bluebird cam to Berry. Carleton, whose main research deals with bluebirds, built nest sites for the bluebirds on campus about 10 years ago because the few birds that were here were unable to breed, and the population was crashing. Today, the bluebird population on campus is thriving. We have over 50 nest boxes, and I think all of them are full right now, Carleton said.

Carleton explained the current status of the nest box in which the bluebird cam is affixed. The female is sitting on the eggs right now for the incubation process, Carleton said. Right around May 1 should be the time they start to hatch. They should all hatch within a day or so. Carleton explained how she, and the rest of the viewers, would be able to see things happening inside the nest box that many people have never been able to see before. Theyre only in the box 19 days, Carleton said of the bluebird chicks. They go from about the size of a little peanut to just about the size of the adults in that time period. Youll be able to see the parents bringing in food to feed them, and theyll be getting bigger and bigger everyday. In addition to the opportunity to view bluebirds via the cam, many students, such as junior
THE BERRY BLUEBIRDS NEST BOX CAMERA BECAME operational on April 9. The camera feed appears black and white because it is dark inside the box and the camera uses infrared light. Currently, the box houses four bluebird eggs, referred to as a clutch, and their mother.

McKenzieCONTINUED FROM P. 1
Junior Nathan Womack, who has been in several of McKenzies classes, said McKenzies faithdriven worldview is admirable and that McKenzie helped him reaffirm his own faith. He spoke to me on a completely different level than anyone else had ever spoken to me, Womack said. He helped me to progress through these really difficult times in my life. Womack said he admires McKenzies friendly persona and his efforts to connect on a personal level with everyone he meets. He is so in tune to everything. Hes really bright and openminded and really just beyond intelligent, Womack said. I think perspicacious would be the word I would use to describe him, if I could pick one, of a myriad of words to describe Dr. McKenzie. McKenzies scholarly work and academic career are also admirable, Womack said. He wrote a very impressive article on the morality of miracles, Womack said. He has a really great way of wording things, which is another thing I admire about him. One of McKenzies most memorable qualities is his sense of humor and jokes before class, Womack said. Womack, along with many other students, has gotten to know McKenzie personally, and Womack said one of his favorite memories with McKenzie involves a U-Haul, which Womack, McKenzie and another student named the swag wagon. He asked [senior Koby Boatright] and me to move this desk from his church in Cave Spring to his house in Rome, Womack said. That was an adventure because you have three philosophy people who have no idea how to work a U-Haul. McKenzie will be returning in the fall to teach an honors course about faith and reason, and he said he plans to teach a class or two every year if a professor is needed.

Bob Frank, chair of the communication department, described Richardson as a breath of fresh air in both Laughlin and Hermann Hall. She has an uncommon perseverance, Frank said. Even though she is provost, she is still a very active member in the communication department. Her leadership is very inclusive and highly respected by faculty members across all departments. Faculty and staff are not the only ones who have noticed Richardsons hard work and presence on Berrys campus. Dr. Richardson has a way of making students really care about learning, senior communication major Mary Claire Stewart said. She encourages those who take her classes to not only memorize information, but to really engage with the material that she is so clearly passionate about. I have a great admiration and respect for

LADY VIKINGS FRESHMAN MIDFIELDER EMMA QUIGLEY HELPS senior goalkeeper Taylor Martin defend the goal during the game against the Rhodes College Lynx in the quarterfinals of the Southern Athletic Association tournament.
played together on Saturday. Martin totalled 11 saves in the gameher second-highest for the year. What made me feel the most proud were the moments where we brought one another back into focus, Dziurzynski said. [We] had each others backs and supported one another when we sensed anyone was getting in their heads or too hard on themselves or one another. Thats how we worked well Saturday. The Vikings overall record is 9-6, 4-3 in the conference. Berry will play top-seeded Centre on Saturday in the SAA semifinals.
We know this Saturday will be a tough game against Centre, Williamson said. They are the regular season conference champs, so to beat them we are going to have to play are very best. After playing a tight game with them a couple of weeks ago, I hope we capitalize on some of the opportunities we missed the first time around. We are the underdogs, so we need to go out and enjoy ourselves and see what happens. Dziurzynski said she must play at a very high level on Saturday to give her team the best chances of winning as possible, and the rest of team must play strong too.
We have got to start out strong, and work hard with one another, Dziurzynski said. I want another win, but at the end of the day, Ive got an entire additional week with these girls, I get to travel with them one last time, and even if Saturday is the last time I wear that jersey, I cant complain. I couldnt be more proud of what our team has become. If the Lady Vikings win, they will compete in the 2014 SAA Womens Lacrosse Championship Finals on Sunday. They will play the winner of the Birmingham-Southern College Panthers and Centre College Colonels game.

Farmer said he was very pleased with the win record set by the team, calling it the highlight of the game.
