Valentine’s Day at Lee

Love was definitely in the air. Valentine’s Day at Lee University was the
usual with a few events mixed in to spice things up. There were roses and
chocolates flying everywhere. Paper valentines were passed out by creative
young ladies and men with extra money bought a V-Day announcement on
Facebook. The dining hall was lit by candlelight, with soft music echoing
romantic tones into the ears of lovers. Just days before, couples got in their
first dance of the new year at “Reflections of Love,” a formal Valentine’s
event at The Old Woolen Mill. The ped-mall was also shaken up by a Valen-
tine’s date auction featuring some of the campus’ best known stars. And who
could forget the hook-up at the student union? Prizes and food just seem to
make everything better.
Basically, it was a wonderfully valentinish Valentine’s Day!

‘Flute’ is magical
February 9th through the 12th Lee University's Opera Theater de-
partment performed "The Magic Flute." Written by Mozart and first
performed September 30, 1791, the opera centers on the life of
young Tamino, who we find being chased by
Zach Skaggs
zskagg00@leeu.edu a dragon in the very first scene. Running for
his life, he is knocked unconscious by the
beast just as three mysterious ladies (who are later revealed to work
for the majestic "Queen of the Night") arrive and slay the beast,
saving his life. Soon after, Tamino meets Papageno, a strange bird-
man whose job is to find and catch birds for the queen in exchange
for food. The queen sends Tamino and Papageno on a mission to
save her daughter, Pamino, from the evil Sarastro. The men find
Pamino almost immediately, but as they try to return her to her
mother the plot really thickens due to a meeting with Sarastro him-
self, who appears to be an upright and noble man.
There were two casts for the performance in order to ensure both a
large amount of participation as well as to save some of the actor's
voices. I had experience with only the Alpha cast, but others I talked
to had similar experiences with the Omega cast. My first impression
was amazement at the talent that was before me. The voices of the
actors were astounding, and the orchestra was also doing a marvel-
ous job. The violins, my favorite instrument, played beautifully
throughout the show, but especially during the introduction piece.
The acting seemed somewhat lackluster early on in the show, but as Picture Drawn By: Cody, YMCA Home School Class
the actors spent more time on stage, they became much more com-
fortable and their acting improved dramatically. Not a single voice

A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR:
Printing a Dream
Behind-the-scenes at the “Headlines”
“The Lee Headlines” is proud to offer our
fourth issue today, although we are
uncertain abut the direction the
publication will take in the future. We
want to grow in every way possible (staff,
output, circulation, and quality) and we
have been working for the past two weeks
to find a better way to support ourselves.
! Our first four issues of the
“Headlines” have been printed off in the
computer labs of the Paul Conn Student
Union. Printing in the labs takes valuable
time (the printers are slow in perspective
to how fast we could be printing) and also
forces students printing off papers to wait
a few minutes while we get out of the way.
There are other labs on campus, but only
the PCSU computers seem to provide us
an easy way to print on both sides of the
paper. We know we have to find a new way
to print.
! A computer assistant in the
PCSU suggested we talk to one of the
departments to try to get a “copier code”
from them so that we may may use faculty
copier machines to print. We tried that
approach, it didn’t really work very well.
That’s when we were directed to see the
Office of Student Life.
! “Student Life” sent us away with
information that we would need a faculty
advisor who would give us their copier
code so that we could print off their
Correction
In last week’s issue of the “Headlines,”
we stated that the “Equality Ride” was a
crusade of young adults dedicated to
confronting colleges that banned the en-
rollment of gay, lesbian, bisexual, or
transgender students. We want to clarify
that Lee does not ban the enrollment of
such students.

account and pay
them back later.
This is when we
jump into the
financial
aspects of
the game.
! where we saw the paper
Currently, in the PCSU, we have a total
print run of approximately 120 copies an
issue. That’s barely enough to hand out
one copy to everyone in the first five rows
at the Conn Center during chapel. Right
now our ideal print run is 800 copies per
week, a task that, if we run an average of
five pages, may end up costing us $200 per
week to print.
! Without advertising and any
reasonable income at all, that number can
easily dishearten a group of college
students who want to make a difference
and provide a service to students on
campus. But we’re here to stay for the long
haul.
! Our staff looked at the possibility
of advertising (one ad on a portion of the
back page every issue), thought about
raising money through fundraisers, and
also considered charging a bit for
subscriptions, but ultimately decided that
we could not make enough money that
way to support the newspaper.
! It was then that we set out to see
Dr. Paul Conn, the “miracle man” of
campus. Fellow students suggested that he
always helps students out and that he
could find a way.
! I went to his office last Friday to
set up an appointment and received an e-
mail Monday from the Office of Student

Life. I was invited to make
an appointment with Dr.
Walt Mauldin. ! By
Wednesday I was in Dr.
Mauldin’s office
explaining why we
created the “Headlines,”
going in the future, and why we don’t
believe we compete with “The Clarion.”
He was very understanding and
mentioned that he would bring the matter
before the Student Life committee the
following Wednesday.
! Now we ask you to please be
praying for our newspaper and for our
staff, that God will bless us so that we may
bless campus. We also ask that you keep
the faculty now involved in prayer.
! The question has come up: will
we loose any of our independence and
openness once we find access to faculty
copiers? We hope not. “The Lee
Headlines” wants to continue to thrive
from submissions from students and
staff every week. We also want to be
more open to student opinions. We don’t
believe that the faculty will set any
limits or restrictions on us any more
than the limits and standards we
already have in place for our paper.
! We’re here to serve the
students, so please join us in our task
and keep us in your prayers...

The biggest Valentine’s Day party of all
for Lee students was not even sponsored
by the university.
Harrison Keely “Reflections of

Love,” crafted and
put together by
Risk Entertainment & Kings Men Pro-
ductions, proved to be the highlight of
the night Friday, February 10th.
Tickets went on sale a week before in
the Paul Conn Student Union with pack-
ages ranging from ten dollars to thirty
dollars in price. Sixty-five tickets sold
prior to the event, but adding the tickets
sold at the door, an estimated 150 tickets
were purchased altogether.
“Reflections of Love” took place at The
Old Woolen Mill in downtown Cleve-
land. Beginning at 8:00PM guests (some
of whom drove and others who had the
privilege of arriving by limousine) were
first greeted by a stone walk way to the
basement entrance where candle-like

lighting set the mood and atmosphere for
the rest of the night.
Near the front of the room was a large
stage area where quite a bit of musical
instruments had been set up in prepara-
tion for later in the night. Tables, covered
with pink, red, or white tablecloths dot-
ted the room. In the center of the grand
hall stood an odd shed-like structure with
symbols of three major religions on each
side.
Lee student and poet Ashley Denning
started the evening off at 9:00PM by
reciting “Sonnet 29,” a romantic piece by
William Shakespeare. Following the
sonnet a short prayer was delivered.
Then the music began. Matthew Johnson
was the first to perform, singing “I Want
to be Loved.”
Johnson was the first of a long line of
talented musical artists who rocked The
Old Woolen Mill. Singers included De-
von Goins, Nepolean Cummings, Jere-
miah Wakefield, Paula Delane, David
N E S
o f L o v e
Vargus, and last but not least, Jermain
Purifory, who was introduced to the
crowd by his mother before he sang his
first note.
The full dinner provided at the event
was very good. Generous portions of
chicken, corn, and green beans in addi-
tion to salad and bread made up the main
meal, with a delectable red velvet cake
for desert.
Soon the live music came to an end and
it was time for everyone to populate the
dance floor, bringing their own groove
and rhythm into the building. To begin
with, many of the tunes were upbeat
Latino music. More popular music found
its way into the speakers as the night
continued onward.
“First of all, I’ve gotta thank God [but] I
don’t think this could have happened
without Risk Entertainment,” states
Chester Sharp, co-CEO of Kings Men
Productions.

Delta Zeta Tau’s “Hook-Up” A Rousing Success
What do you get when you put
together Delta Zeta Tau, relationship
games, free pizza, and enough Lee
University students to fill the Paul
Conn Student Union?
A night that no one will ever
forget.
And such was “The Hook-Up,” the
Valentine’s Day party hosted by the
Heather Rawleigh ladies of Delta
hrawle00@leeu.edu Zeta Tau. Three
weeks of planning,
together with help from the Student
Leadership Council, came together to
create an unforgettable evening.
The night began at 7:00 PM as Tyler
Blinson, Alex Sturgill, Chase Guyton,
and Shaun Sneed presented a barber-
shop quartet-like “Singing Valentine”
to a lucky audience member. They
were followed by the first of several
door prize giveaways.
The relationship games, the main at-
traction, concluded following three
rounds. In the first round, single males
and females answered questions to
determine their compatibility. The
male and female whose answers
matched the most were sent on a date
for dinner at Provino’s, a movie at the
Rave Theater, and ice cream at the
Marble Slab Creamery. The winners
were Brandon Syvrud and Gaby
Beretta. When Brandon was asked
what he thought of his ‘new girl-
friend,’ he smiled and declared “I think
she’s the one.”
The second stage of the relationship
game challenged dating couples. They
too were asked questions about such
topics as their relationship and one
another. The winners, Candice Natola

Convocation
“I was pleased with how the Spirit

A time to “grow spiritually”
convocation.
The evenings of February 12-15 served as the
backdrop for four very special services, three of
which students were
Harrison Keely required to attend.

great time for me; it

from several wonderful teachers.

OPINIONS- Convocation: One student’s somewhat controversial perspective.
I guess having a job (even if it is at the Cafeteria)
does come with certain perks. And by perks I’m
not solely referring to the obvious ones that may
first come to mind. You know, the little things like
having a roof over your head, food to eat, cloth-
ing, text books and maybe some extra cash lefto-
ver for CDs or whatever. Besides all that, folks;
let's dig a bit deeper, shall we? The real perk I’m
getting at here, a pretty sweet one I’d say, is…
Convocation exemption (he-he).
Wait - now, before you go ahead and judge me,
peg me as a heathen, and refuse to do that little
"nod, wink, and what’s-up?" deal we LEE stu-
dents have perfected as the universal sign for
‘hello’, the next time you bump into me in the
Student Union, hear me out, will ya?
I’d like to consider myself just as saved as the
next person. (I hope you won’t disagree by the
time you’re done reading this article; that is, if
you’re still in fact reading this. If so, forgive me
for the interruption, I’ll get back to the point
now.) Hey, I actually managed to stay off chapel
probation so far this semester (knock on wood)
and of course I think we could all benefit from the
occasional ‘spiritual refresher course’. But con-

Cooper, a 1978 graduate of Lee who currently
serves as Senior Pastor at Mount Paran Church
of God in Atlanta, Georgia. In addition to being
a published author, he earned his doctor of

Tuesday, February 14th brought the blessing of
Mark Walker, Senior Pastor of the Mt. Paran
North Church of God in Marietta, Georgia.
Walker was the featured convocation speaker at
Lee in the fall of 2004. Dr. Walt Mauldin closed
least two of the three chapel services every week
anyway, doesn’t a required Convocation seem a
bit redundant? I’m just voicing my opinion here,
thinking out loud, if you will- feel completely free
to disagree with me here.
During my pre-exemption days, I‘d sit in Convo-
cation service after service trying hard not to be
distracted by what was scheduled to occur on
“American Idol” - or whatever show I was into at
the time - that night, but I couldn’t help but think,
‘what’s the point?’ And more importantly than
Paula, Simon, and Randy, there was always tons
of homework I could be doing because, although
professors aren’t allowed to schedule major ex-
ams or papers during this time, they sure don’t
hesitate to assign reading and other assignments,
do they? Maybe I’m exaggerating or just plain
lazy, I’ve surely been accused of both. But, I have
a slight suspicion that I may not be the only one
thinking this way.
First of all, let’s examine convocation itself.
What exactly is it? When did It first start and
why? Well, I’ve been asking around and no one
really seems to know the specific answers to those
questions but here’s what Dr. Harper offered when
I posed the question to him via e-mail.
N E S
convocation services on Wednesday
evening with a powerful message.
“The speakers were interesting and had
motivating ideas for our Christian walk
that I hope to implement into my own life,”
explains new student Kara Hawley, “I really
enjoyed convocation; it was a time for me to
grow spiritually.”
Many students saw convocation as a time of
transformation, rededicating their lives to Christ
and discovering His will for their future. Tears
flowed as students saw a revival of prayer make
an impact in the Conn Center on several nights.
Perhaps student Roune’ Betts describes it best
when she says “convocation makes me feel all
tingly inside.”
"Convocation is literally, [a] ‘calling together or
assembly’ or more specifically, for our purposes,
an assembly of our students that is called together
for the purpose of focusing on God." He also said
that, just like chapel, convocation has been a time-
honored tradition in Lee University’s history for a
long time, probably since Lee began, way back in
the day. This, I guess, brings me to my point (yes,
there is one). Since it’s been around so long,
maybe convocation needs a little ‘refreshing’ of
its own. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve attended some
awesome convocation services teeming with ex-
cellent speakers, wonderful ministries in song by
our wonderful Lee University ensembles, and the
irrefutable presence of God flowing naturally
through the building.... but, there are some times
when it just seems.... like déjà vu. My humble
suggestion? How about a Convocation Complete
Makeover? Why not? Sunday night chapel got
one with the introduction of U-Church 234 and
it’s been wonderful (try it if you haven’t yet).
Also, maybe it should be optional.
Yours,

In the seminar (Effectively Managing

Conflict), pupils first learned how to cor-
rectly define “conflict” before identifying
the benefits of conflict. Benefits, students
discovered, are always the outcome of a
well-managed conflict, one taken care of
appropriately. Discussion continued as
attendees identified the outcomes of con-
flict when handled effectively and when
not.
Video clips, highlighting management of
conflict, were also shown to the crowd to
inspire discussion and enhance observa-
tion.
“It’s enlightening,” shared Nick Brouhard
during a break, “I like the format of it and
the topic.” While there, students also
learned how to become aware of conflict
and explored coping mechanisms and how
to work to understand other perspectives.
Perhaps most interesting was the segment
dedicated to pointing out seven ways that
one can make conflict productive. Items
included creating solutions, expressing
emotions, reaching out, reflecting and

I am finding that I must "Walk by faith and not by sight" (2 Cor. 5:7).
What is faith? So many books have been written on the issue and lectures
given by men more wise and knowledgeable than I. What I do know is that
everyone must come to their own point-of-no-return
and decide to walk in faith even when they can't see
the next step. It is not blind, but purposeful. It is
deliberate faith. "Faith is the evidence of things Devotionals
hoped for, the substance of things not seen." Hope
carries us in faith: "For in this hope we were saved. Cheryl Rogers
But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes croger02@leeu.edu
for what he already has? But if we hope for what we
do not yet have, we wait for it patiently" (Rom.
8:24,25). This hope propels us with fervor into
God's joy which is our strength (para. Neh. 8:10 ). His strength gets us
through the trials and storms of life.
I know it seems like I am going in circles, but sometimes it takes me
going the full circle to draw the outline of the big picture God wants to
show me. I believe these verses sum up what God is trying to place into
my mind and heart attitudes: "Therefore, since we have been justified
through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we
now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because
we know that suffering produces perseverance; persever-
ance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not
disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into
our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us"
(Rom. 5:1-5).
Right now in my life I am going to have to make many
decisions that will not only affect me but also my friends,
my schooling, my families, and even my future relation-
ships. Through these, though, I am choosing faith by hoping in my God for
who He is and for His precious promises to me. I will persevere and de-
velop His character and love by His Spirit moving in my life, changing me,
and helping others.

P o e A Sad One of Many

-Adam Rodrigues

I wanted to know you. At least, I think I did...

I tried to be close to you, and to do away with all my sin.
God, i hate to admit it, but i know, that i was fake.
For some reason, i just couldn't, see you through.
I don't know how to tell you this, but God, i really just, didn't love you.
You didn't seem, to be the answer, that i was looking for.
I honestly just didn't care that you were always there, knocking, at my door.
I couldn't desire a God, who i really didn't want at all.

Painting Without Frame...

Oliver Williams
Resting on the rusty grass,
a bleak October day,
flight beneath the tallest Pine,
the sky, a murky gray.
The wind blows harsh,
and leaves float now,
screaming to the forest floor,
stopping only for my hand,
saving paint from utter death.
Colors in my grasp, colors!
Dull as a pond reflection,
Bright as painting without frame,
lost on a hill, only in dusk,
in twilight, holding colors.
