Our View Administration is almost over. denying faculty to she it your best! proper respect As we reported in Thursday's edition, students were given a survey to determine if the new dining plan was desirable, but Georgia Southern University's faculty was not consulted or included in the meal plan deliberations in any way. In the Lakeside or Landrurn dining halls, which are still under renovation, entry will cost $8.50 in lieu of a meal plan, which will cover any food eaten while in the dining hall. In previous years, faculty and staff could go to Lakeside and grab a single cup of coffee for a fair price, but not under the new plan. The unfairness in this is obvious. It ensures that faculty will not be eating at either of the new dining halls. This is not only a disservice to our faculty, but also cuts out a large source of revenue £«* for the dining halls.

The show will be comprised of various songs and dances to show the work and practice that the show choir put in throughout the year, Michael Bailey, president and director of Adrenaline Show Choir and junior sociology major, said. There will be a large variety of songs and genres showcased, with influences from Broadway, current pop, 80s, R&B, childhood favorites and "Glee."

The George-Anne Arts & Entertainment Tuesday, April 30, 2013 11 Soulful student artist releases debut album That happened with this album. I wrote a lot of those songs two years ago. What I usually do is try to dig into something organic. You want to stay true to your sound and stay true to your experiences, and that's really hard to do sometimes as a songwriter.

Q: What is it about your music that makes it organic? What is your style? A: I grab a lot of stuff from other influences. I'm big into soul and R&B. John Mayer has influenced me a lot too. At the same time, I have those DeAngelo-type influences. I like artists who have conquered the essence of groove and vibe. I have the love for that, as well as a love for pop. I like when stuff is palatable to people and they can really relate. I love those pop hooks, but I love the intricacies of the other stuff, so when I'm looking to develop my style I'm continuously trying to evolve. My style is really just a compilation of the music that I enjoy listening to.

Q: Out of the ten songs on the album, which do you enjoy playing the most? A: My favorite song on the album is probably the opening Courtesy of Lydia Thomas track.

Baseball (23-20)

BY COLIN RITSICK The George-Anne staff

Coming off of its first series win in the last five attempts, the Georgia Southern University baseball team will look to keep up its momentum with a pair of mid-week contests. The Eagles (23-20, 12-12 Southern Conference) will travel to the University of North Florida today before returning to host Charleston Southern University tomorrow. The meeting with the Ospreys (32-12, 14-4 Atlantic Sun Conference) will be the first this season for the Eagles with another coming up on May 14. GSU defeated the Buccaneers (17-24, 8-7 Big South Conference) earlier this season in the only other matchup between the two teams. Today's matchup with UNF could pose to be problem for Eagle pitching. GSU has allowed a total of 64 runs in its last 10 games and sports a 5.21 ERA on the season. The Ospreys are a team that has batted .328 this year and plated 318 runs. The offense that earned them a victory against the University of Florida and a series win against No. 23 Mercer University will be something that the GSU pitchers will have to be conscious of. And as if the big bats of the Ospreys that average over seven runs per game were not enough, UNF has found a nice rhythm by emerging victorious in 13 of its last 15 games. Tomorrows home contest will field a familiar, less accomplished foe. The Buccaneers will be looking for revenge on the Eagles who outlasted them 3-2 on April 9. The end score of that game did not properly reflect how GSU played even though the Eagles won. GSU struck for 10 hits on top of 13 walks but were unable to put any more than three runs on the board because of 18 runners left on base. Senior pitcher Josh Stevenson was solid in his six innings of one-run baseball that game and provided GSU with a blue print for this game: pitch well enough to outlast the small amount of damage CSU can do, and the Eagles should come out with a win. That is if the inconsistency of GSU s bats remains at bay. First pitch for today in Jacksonville, Fla. is Demario Cullars/The George-Anne set for 6 p.m. Tomorrow's home game is also a Senior pitcher Drew Johnson (17) launches a pitch at the plate. Johnson is 1-0 in 13 appearances on the mound this season. 6 p.m. start.

Out of last year's 300 competitors, only 10 percent actually finished the race. The race is an intense test of strength and both physical and mental endurance. Strategy and working smartly is key to being competitive in this event, Turnbull said. The race is typically themed, and this years theme is "The Year of the Gambler," but the competitors do not have any clue what that means for them until the beginning of the race. There are almost no rules in the Death Race, and the competitors have no knowledge of the events or missions that they will be participating in ahead of the race. Turnbull competed in last year's Spartan Death Race but was unable to finish. This year he is in the hunt for redemption. Last years grueling event kept the competitors who were able to remain in the race on the run for 60 hours for a distance over 100 miles. Turnbull's original plan was to begin training for the race in January, but was forced to take it slow due to an injury. He has since ramped up his workout routine and has spent four vigorous weeks training for the race. He continues his training with running and various cardio exercises, lifting weights, regulating protein intake and eating healthy, although a weakness to peanut M&M's can make this challenging at times. Turnbull recently competed in the S.E.R.E Assault Challenge and Courtesy of Louis Turnbull was the unofficial winner of that GSU grad student Louis Turnbull competes in the 2012 Spartan Death Race in Vermont.
