The 2005 nationally rec- ognized Crown Community and City Spirit Award were awarded to the Winter Park Police Department. Not only has the Winter Park Police Department won these two 2005 awards but they were also awarded the 2005 Inter- national Association of Chiefs of Police Law En- forcement challenge’s Tech- nology Special Award for the second year in a row. The Winter Park Police Department should be very proud of their winning. The International Association of Chiefs of Police Award is the only one of its kind in the United States. This award was founded in 1893 in Chicago as the National Chiefs of Police Union. The goals of the Interna- tional Association of Chiefs of Police include advancing the science and art of the po- lice industry. These ad- vances will promote en- hanced practices throughout the law enforcement com- munity. Every year the Winter Park Police Department takes part in the Law En- forcement challenge to show-off to the rest of the nation all of their traffic-safe- ty measures they use each day. The Winter Park Police Department enforces top quality safety measures when monitoring traffic in the area, thus the reason why they were the winner of the special Law Enforcement Award. They have top-qual- ity equipment to keep citi- zens safe. Take notice to the confirmation lights attached to the top of traffic lights which allow police officers to identify traffic offenders and with this new technolo- gy the amount of time spent at a traffic stop can be re- duced. Another helpful techno- logical advancement the Winter Park Police are now using are Variable Message Boards which warn drivers of upcoming construction on the road ahead. These mes- sage boards will also let drivers know of special events that may be occurring and thus the reason for heavy or unusual traffic flow. Emergency evacuation Roger Casey Becomes Provost Roger Casey, the former dean of the faculty and an English professor, has been promoted. He is now the college provost and vice president for academic af- fairs at Rollins College. After being at the college for only a little over 5 years he has helped to make it a better place. The launch of the academic programs in biochemistry, film, Asian studies, Latin American studies, sustainable develop- ment, community engage- ment, internationalization and the arts have all been headed by Mr. Casey him- self. President Lewis Duncan believes that "Roger's inno- vative thinking and knowl- edge of the College will con- tribute significantly to out efforts to further enhance the Rollins experience." Dean Casey has a lot on his resume that will help Rollins become an even bet- ter College than it already is. He received both his mas- ter's and doctorate's degrees in English from Florida State University. His bachelor of arts degree was received from Furman University lo- cated in his native state of South Carolina. His education has defi- nitely paid off, he has been both interviewed and quot- ed in The New York Times, Forbes, The Chronicle of Philanthropy, USA Today, CNN, CBS and more. Before he became a member of the Rollins com- munity he served as an asso- ciate dean and professor at Birmingham-Southern Col- lege in Alabama. But now his main concerns lie within Rollins. While at Rollins he has seen a record growth and quality in the enrollment of students, but has still been able to keep the student/fac- ulty ratio to 11:1. Rollins is known for its smaller class sizes so keeping the ratio of students to faculty low is im- portant. Avian Flu Emergency Plan News reports say that bird infected with the avian flu could reach the United States by the end of this year, so what is Rollins doing to keep students safe? No one really knows what is going to happen with the bird flu but it is im- portant to take all precau- tions necessary just in case something does end up hap- pening. Rollins, like many other schools around the United States, has prepared an Emergency Preparedness Plan which will provide in- struction on handling any potential emergency. Rollins Emergency Op- erations Team is now look- ing into how an outbreak could possibly affect stu- dents both short-term and long-term. Rollins is work- ing with local and statewide organizations on keeping a close eye on the avian flu. The flu has not yet hit the United States so there is no reason to panic at this point but there is a possibili- ty that anything could hap- pen and it is better to be ready than not prepared. The CDC, Center for Dis- ease Control, recommends that people wash their hands often in order to prevent the risk of catching any kind of disease. More information is available about the avian flu at www.pandemicflu.gov or www.cdc.gov/flu/avian. New Writing Center Coordi- nator Over the summer some changes were also made to The Writing Center. There is a new coordinator to The Writing Center, Peter Ives. He is looking forward to the new year and is looking for- ward to getting to know as many students as he can. Make an appointment for the Writing Center and stop by his office and give his you feedback on what you think is working or not working at the Writing Center, he would be happy to hear from you. Stolen Items Recovered If you remember back in January it was reported that several items had been stolen out of campus hous- ing. Campus security re- cently reported that 89% of those items have been recov- ered. More on this in the up- coming Sandspur issue. Changes in Color Many changes occurred throughout the campus to enhance the beauty and vi- sion of the Rollins communi- ty. Both Chase Hall and Or- lando Hall have recieved a brand new paint job.

Page 2: The Sandspur Vol 113 Issue 1

It is a privilege to wel-come the Class of 2010, ourother new students, and ad-ditions to our talented facul-ty and staff, as well as to greetreturning members of theRollins community.

The 2006-07 school yearpromises to be packed withopportunities for learning-inthe classroom, in the commu-nity, and in the world.

This year marks a mile-stone in Rollins' history as weintroduce the Honor Code inboth the Arts & Sciences andthe Hamilton Holt School.

A product of three yearsof dedicated effort, the HonorCode is a key instrument inbuilding a campus commit-ted to integrity, trust, andshared responsibility. Just asfaculty and students workedtogether to develop the code,they will continue to work to-gether to facilitate its imple-mentation and educate ourcommunity about the codeand its importance.

This is a significant stepfor the College: one that willbring Rollins further recogni-

tion as a premier liberal artscollege and a standard inwhich we can all take pride.It is now our responsibility,individually and collectively,to ensure the Honor Code'ssuccess.

As I walk around cam-pus, it is rewarding to see somany signs of pride in theCollege-Rollins shirts, Rollinslicense plates, and R-Fridayswhen the College communi-ty is encouraged to wearRollins colors and visit theCornell Campus Center be-tween 7:30 a.m. and 10:30a.m. for refreshments and in-formal conversation.

Our first R-Friday of theterm will be August 25. I lookforward to seeing you thenand at College eventsthroughout the year, as weshare the benefits of theRollins experience.

President Duncan's "openhour" with students, faculty,and staff will resume onWednesday, August 23, at 12:30p.m. in the Darden Lounge(Cornell Campus Center).Watch The Sandspur for dates offuture afternoon and evening"open hours."

Greetings Class of 2010:

Welcome to Rollins College!

We are very excited that you have decided tojoin our Rollins College Community. During yourtime at Rollins you will be exposed to an excitingand challenging academic curriculum, you will beintroduced to amazing faculty and staff, and youwill get the chance to start life long friendships.College is an exciting journey and the Office ofRollins Explorations is excited to be going on thatjourney with each of you. Explorations is thename we give to first year programs here at Rollinsbecause it reflects the nature of what all first yearstudents do when they get here-explore all thatour vibrant campus community has to offer.Howard Thurman once said, "Do not ask yourselfwhat the world needs. Ask yourself what makesyou come alive, and then go do that. Because whatthe world needs is people who have come alive."As you begin your Rollins Exploration, we hopethat you will discover what you are passionateabout-what makes you come alive.

During my first year of college at the Universi-ty of Missouri, the president of our Student Gov-ernment Association came into my Introduction toLeadership class to introduce himself and talkabout how to get involved on campus. He askedus how many of us read the Maneater. There were35 puzzled faces staring back at him, none ofwhich had any idea what the Maneater was. Hewent on to explain it was our campus newspaperand told us we should all read it in order to be bet-ter informed about our campus community andthe issues that were going on inside of it. It was atthat moment that I realized that the University ofMissouri was not there for me to take educationsand experiences away from, but rather I was at theUniversity in order to give to it my talents, pas-sions, and knowledge in order to benefit the insti-tution, my fellow classmates, and future genera-tions of Mizzou students.

Rollins is the same as the University of Mis-souri. It's not here for your benefit, you are herebecause you have been chosen to be a member ofour community. What skills, talents, passions, andabilities are you going to bring into our communi-ty? What are you passionate about? What makesyou come alive? What difference are you going tomake on Rollins, your fellow classmates, and oth-ers that fill the seats of our institution after you aregone? The process of answering these questions isa sometimes scary, yet often times exciting one.The Office of Rollins Explorations, your RCC Fac-ulty members, and your Peer Mentors are here tohelp you as you do your exploring and are privi-leged to get to travel on this journey with you.

Once again, congratulations on selecting thebest Liberal Arts College in the South, and wel-come to the Rollins Family!

Sincerely,

Doug Little Director, Rollins Explorations

Integrity and honor are central to theRollins College mission to educate its stu-dents for responsible citizenship and ethicalleadership. Rollins College requires adher-ence to a code of behavior that is essentialfor building an academic community com-mitted to excellence and scholarship withintegrity and honor. Students, faculty, staff,and administration share the responsibilityfor building and sustaining this community.

Each student matriculating into RollinsCollege must become familiar with the Aca-demic Honor System. The College requires

that students be able and willing to acceptthe rights and responsibilities of honorableconduct, both as a matter of personal in-tegrity and as a commitment to the valuesto which the College community commitsitself. It is the responsibility of instructorsto set clear guidelines for authorized andunauthorized aid in their courses. It is theresponsibility of students to honor thoseguidelines and to obtain additional clarifi-cation if and when questions arise aboutpossible violations of the Honor Code.

From the Desk of Interim Dean of the Faculty, Hoyt Edge:

The New Rollins Academic Honor CodeThe Philosophy of the Academic

Honor Code

Membership in the student body ofRollins College carries with it an obligation,and requires a commitment, to act withhonor in all things. The student commit-ment to uphold the values of honor - hon-esty, trust, respect, fairness, and responsibil-ity - particularly manifests itself in two pub-lic aspects of student life.

First, as part of the admission process tothe College, students agree to commit them-selves to the Honor Code.

Then, as part of the matriculationprocess during Orientation, students sign amore detailed pledge to uphold the HonorCode and to conduct themselves honorablyin all their activities, both academic and so-cial, as a Rollins student. A student signa-ture on the following pledge is a bindingcommitment by the student that lasts for hisor her entire tenure at Rollins College:

The development of the virtues ofHonor and Integrity are integral to a Rollins

College education and to membership inthe Rollins College community. Therefore,I, a student of Rollins College, pledge toshow my commitment to these virtues byabstaining from any lying, cheating, or pla-giarism in my academic endeavors and bybehaving responsibly, respectfully and hon-orably in my social life and in my relation-ships with others.

This pledge is reinforced every time astudent submits work for academic credit ashis/her own. Students shall add to thepaper, quiz, test, lab report, etc., the hand-written signed statement

“On my honor, I have not given, nor re-ceived, nor witnessed any unauthorized as-sistance on this work.”

Material submitted electronicallyshould contain the pledge; submission im-plies signing the pledge.

The Honor Pledge andReaffirmation

Definitions:

1. PLAGIARISM. Offering the words, facts, orideas of another person asyour own in any academicexercise.

2. CHEATING. Using or attempting to useunauthorized materials, in-formation, or study aids inan academic exercise. Thisincludes sharing knowledgeof previously administeredor current tests. The keep-ing of tests, papers, andother assignments belong-ing to former students isprohibited. Use of externalassistance (e.g., books,notes, calculators, conversa-

tions with others) in com-pleting an “in class” or “takehome” examination, unlessspecifically authorized bythe instructor, is prohibited.

3. UNAUTHORIZED COL-LABORATION.Collaboration, without spe-cific authorization by the in-structor, on homework as-signments, lab reports, exampreparations, research proj-ects, take home exams, es-says, or other work forwhich you will receive aca-demic credit.

4. SUBMISSION OFWORK PREPARED FORANOTHER COURSE. Turning in the same work,in whole or in part, to twoor more instructors, withoutthe consent of the instruc-tors in both courses.

5. FABRICATION. Misrepresenting, mishan-dling, or falsifying informa-tion in an academic exercise.For example, creating falseinformation for a bibliogra-phy, inventing data for alaboratory assignment, orrepresenting a quotationfrom a secondary source(such as a book review or atextbook) as if it were a pri-mary source.

6. FACILITATING ACAD-EMIC DISHONESTY. Helping another studentcommit an act of academicdishonesty.

7. VIOLATION OF TEST-ING CONDITIONS. Looking at other students’answers, allowing other stu-dents to look at your test,and working past allottedtime are just a few exampleswhere test conditions maybe considered to be violated.

8. LYING. Lying is the making of astatement that one knows tobe false with the intent todeceive. It includes actionssuch as (a) lying to faculty,

administrators, or staff (b)falsifying any college docu-ment or record by mutila-tion, addition, deletion orforgery (c) lying to a mem-ber of the Honor Council orjudicial affairs officer.

9. FAILURE TO REPORTAN HONOR CODE VIOLATION.Failure to report occurswhen a student has knowl-edge of or is witness to anact in violation of the Acad-emic Honor Code and doesnot report it within five classdays.

Definitions of Academic Honor Code ViolationsStudents are expected to conduct themselves with complete honesty in all academic work and campus activities. Violations of the Academic Honor Codeinclude, but are not limited to the following:

“On my honor, I have not given, nor received,nor witnessed any unauthorized assistance onthis work.”

Qualities of a Rollins StudentA Rollins arts and sci-

ences education is designedto be a formative education(both reformative and trans-formative) in that by thetime you graduate, certainqualities of mind, heart, andhabit will have been instilledin you and reinforced bypractice. Not all graduateswill share these virtues tothe same degree or expressthem in the same ways, butRollins aims to impress oneach of you a distinctive setof traits by the time yougraduate that will distin-guish you thereafter as oneof ours.

What are these virtuouscharacteristics that signifythe impression made by aRollins education?

Qualities of Mind

Rollins graduates...

...are curious and eagerlearners, disposed to investi-gate and discover knowl-edge about many subjectsand to make connectionsamong dif-ferent subjects

...are resourceful learn-ers who have "learned howto learn": how to find outwhat they need and want toknow by tapping manysources

...are able to formulateand express their knowledgewell in writing and speech,

and to communicate it effec-tively to others

...are able to think ana-lytically and critically so asto identify the various as-pects of issues and evaluatecarefully the relevant topicsand factors involved

...are able to think syn-thetically and creatively soas to produce new knowl-edge, conceptions, and solu-tions.

Qualities of Heart

Rollins graduates...

...are disposed to benefitmany others by what theycontribute to the worldthrough their work and pres-ence

...have internalized anethic of civility and responsi-bility

...believe that their edu-cation is meant to enrichtheir own minds and heartsso they may enrich the livesof others in the worthiestways.

Qualities of Habit

Rollins graduates...

...have learned and prac-ticed skills of self-manage-ment and self-disciplinewith respect to carrying outassignments from both oth-ers and themselves

...have reinforced thevirtues of persistence, adap-tivity, courage, initiative,

and leadership...have, by subscribing to

the Rollins Honor Code,practiced habits of honesty,integrity, and responsibilityto the community.

Though you may believethat when you graduatefrom Rollins your GPA willbe your ticket to recognitionand remuneration, you aremis-taken. Rather, it is therecommendation lettersfrom faculty and others thatwill help you most in bol-stering your diploma andboosting you into your fu-ture.

It is true that your gradeswill be a factor in how yourrecommenders assess andregard you, but even moreimportant are the virtues ofyour character they can com-mend, only some of whichdirectly relate to academicperformance: industrious-ness, responsibility, coopera-tiveness; but also integrity,concern for and service toothers, initiative, creativity,and maturity.

If all goes according toour design, you will have ex-perienced at Rollins the be-ginning of your life-long lib-eral education and takenmany strides along yourjourney toward wisdom.Here in a paragraph is how Iwould define the liberal ed-ucation you are now under-taking:

A liberal education is aneducation for the wholehuman being.

A human being cannotgrow to wholeness or fullself-realization without cul-tivating and integrating themany aspects of human na-ture: physical, psychological,social, cultural, moral, aes-thetic, intellectual, and spiri-tual. A collegiate liberal ed-ucation, typically occurringin the final years of adoles-cence, is designed to sendinto adulthood men and

women who have begun alife-long intentional journeytoward wholeness, knowingwell the areas in which theymust continue to develop,equipped with the means forfurther growth, and possess-ing a clear sense of theimpor-tance of maturing intoa wisdom that yields valueto the world and thus mean-ing to their lives.And now it begins . . .

Besides this decorativetradition there will also bea massive amount of lightdisplays, all synchronizedto the holiday music every-one loves.

It would not be Christ-mas without an appearancefrom Santa Clause. Thechildren will be able toshare all of their wisheswith the Father of Christ-mas in person or eventhrough email.

Many of the activitiestaking place this holidayseason will be opened toboth day guests and hotelguests of the GaylordPalms, however there willbe a few events that will beopen to just those guestswho purchase the Best ofFlorida Christmasovernight package.

The grant, made possible bydonations to the Friends of the Annie fund, will award a member of the Rollins commu-nity - student, alumni, staff, faculty or professor emeritus - funds to produce a play at theOrlando Fringe.

"The Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival is thrilled to be partnering withRollins College in their venture to provide this grant," says Beth Marshall, ProducingArtistic Director of the Orlando Fringe. "I have no doubt this will be the first of many ex-citing ventures we partner with one another on. Rollins has been home to many of ourcommunity's finest artists. I can't wait to see what the grant recipient will produce at TheFringe."

Eligible persons wishing to apply for the grant, need only log onto the department'swebsite at www.rollins.edu/theatre to download an information sheet and application.The completed application must be presented to the Department of Theatre & Dance byMonday, August 21, 2006 at 5pm to be considered for the 2007 grant.

"Rollins has always been actively involved in the Orlando Fringe," says Thomas Ouel-lette, Chair of the Department of Theatre & Dance. "I hope this unique grant will encour-age increased participation from students and recent graduates living in the Greater Or-lando area. This is a win-win situation: it provides an opportunity for our students to con-tribute to the growing Orlando arts scene and for local arts to benefit from the contribu-tions of our talented students and alumni."

The recipient of the Friends of the Annie Grant will be announced prior to September1, 2006 when the Orlando Fringe will begin taking applications for the 2007 festival.

Daisy Brand, a survivorof the holocaust will featureher art at the Holocaust ex-hibit which will open No-vember 4th in Florida. Theexhibition named CeramicImages of a Frightening Pastby Daisy Brand features artwhich will reveal the memo-ries of this Holocaust sur-vivor.

Daisy Brand has beentrained as a ceramic artistand potter who uses her artto translate her memoriesinto something others canview instead of somethingthat just haunt her memo-ries.

The material that Brandworks with, a material simi-lar to porcelain seems to un-dergo a dramatic changefrom soft, smooth materialto hard and resilient materi-al as stated by Brand herself.

In order for the porcelainmaterial to go through thedramatic change that it goesthrough it has to go throughintense heat, which createsan orange glow in the kiln,similar to the glow in thenight sky of Auschwitz.

Daisy Brand's work con-tains images and symbols ofthe devastated Jewish life ofher family and her people.Her work allows others toexperience her own pain andher own healing. "Somehowthe fascination for me is thatfire in this case creates,rather than destroys, which Ihope to apply to my life aswell," says Brand.

Daisy Brand was born in1929 in Bratislava, Czecho-slovakia. It was in 1944 thatshe was taken to Auschwitzand then from there she wastransported to Riga for slavelabor. She was also sent toother camps until she finallybecame free and was able to

immigrate to the UnitedStates of America in 1966.She was one of the lucky fewwhom escaped the awfuldevastation of the holocaust.

Brand now lives inBoston where she was edu-cated at the School of theMuseum of Fine Arts inBoston and Boston Universi-ty. Her ceramic works havebeen exhibited in manyplaces all around the worldincluding New England,Canada and Europe (France,Italy and England.)

Brand's Ceramic Imagesof a Frightened Past isarranged and circulated bythe Center for Holocaust andGenocide Studies at the Col-lege of Liberal Arts, Univer-sity of Minnesota. The direc-tor of this Center, Dr.Stephen Feinstein, believesthat "Brand's work providesis with some important con-firmations."

In the directors' wordshe believes that "First, clayas a medium can be used toexpress pure aesthetic andcan also be used in story-telling. Secondly, the story-telling, in Brand's case, innot linear narrative and onepiece of ceramic sculpturedoes not depend on the onethat preceded it or the onethat follows. They are frag-ments of which has not beenput back together in a wayby the potter's hands."

The programs andevents held by the Center aremad possible through all ofthe generous grants andsponsorships by the JewishFederation of Greater Orlan-do and Darden RestaurantsFoundation.

Hours at the Center areSunday 1pm to 4pm, Mon-day through Thursday 9amto 4pm and Friday 9am to1pm. For any other informa-tion call 407-628-0555.
