Full Name: Myles Harris Alderman III (if you must know)
School: Kenyon
Age: 21
Year: Senior
Major: Biology
Hometown: West Hartford, Connecticut
Relationship Status: Single
Campus Activities: The College Township Fire Department, The Ransom Notes, ΦΚΣ, Greek Council
HCK: Why did you choose to become part of the fire department?
MA: Since I was a child I have always had a passion for medicine. I knew in middle school I wanted to be an EMT at some point, but never got around to getting certified in Connecticut. I heard about the College Township Fire Department (CTFD) my freshman year and knew it was a way I could give back to the community and college while accomplishing my desire to be an EMT.
What was your firefighter training like?
Training was and is still the most intense experience of my life. We train 8 hours every week, and my freshman spring I went to EMT-B school, which met three nights a week for the whole semester. Sophomore fall I went to fire school for 7 days. It is amazing the amount of knowledge the upperclassmen were able to convey, and I think it speaks a lot about our program at CTFD that we can turn a first-year student into a Firefighter and EMT in a year or so. We never stop training, and to this day we train 8 hours a week to ensure our skills are fresh and we can provide the best service to the community.
Is it difficult to balance schoolwork and all that you do as a firefighter?
Sometimes it is. I learned very quickly not to leave homework assignments until the night they are due, because I may have to spend all night at a fire or treating and transporting patients. I like to say I am a Student-Firefighter, to me being a student comes first, and I have never had to miss a class due to firefighting. That being said, it can be difficult to walk into Peirce and hold a normal conversation with friends after helping a patient with cardiac arrest, or to go to class the next day after watching someone lose their home in a fire. I think these shared experiences are one of the reasons the students on the fire department are so close knit.
How does it feel to give back to the Kenyon and Gambier communities in such a prominent way?
It is truly a privilege to be able to give back to the community in any way that I can. There is no feeling that can compare to being able to help someone who is experiencing one of the worst moments of their life; it is incredibly humbling. I consider myself lucky to be able to give back to the community and to work with a group of such dedicated individuals that is the CTFD.
Now onto some lighter questions: Who is your celebrity crush?
Natalie Portman
What’s your favorite place on campus?
Brandi Hall. I love singing with the Ransom Notes and I have a ton of good memories there.

Do you have any hidden talents?

Do you have any guilty pleasures?
I watch more TV than I should. I blame it on Netflix.
This or That… Deli or VI?
VI, there is no question here!
Library or Gund Commons?
The library, it’s where my friends are! I don’t think I have been to Gund Commons since my McBride days…
Chipotle or Buffalo Wild Wings?
Chipotle, I have never been a big wing guy.
Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter?
Lord of the Rings Movies and Harry Potter Books. But, if I had to choose one it would be Harry Potter.

Most Embarrassing Moment?
Well recently I had an embarrassing moment. Over winter break I was flying to India and I had a layover in London. I was visiting friends from my gap year course. They were planning on having a party for me (very nicely of them), on Friday night because that was the day I was arriving. By accident I read my departure as my arrival on the plane ticket, so I got there Saturday morning when everyone was hung-over! I missed my own surprise party.

James Stanell is your modern-day prince charming: he’s handsome, he’s romantic, and most importantly, he knows how treat a woman right. Just ask his girlfriend, the beautiful and lovely Marla Marquez. This DU brother proves that chivalry is not dead with his genuine personality and overall charm. When he’s not tearing it up on the football field, he’s usually saving lives as a campus EMT and jamming to Taylor Swift. Let’s meet this week’s Campus Cutie, James Stanell.
Name: James Stanell
School: Hamilton
Hometown: Coopersburg, Pennsylvania
Year: Junior
Major: Economics
Relationship status: Taken
On-Campus Activities: I’m the running back on the football team, a campus EMT, and a brother of Delta Upsilon

When did you start playing football?
I started playing in second grade, which was actually late compared to all of my friends at the time.
What’s your favorite thing about the sport?
My favorite part about playing is my teammates and the bonds we share on and off the field.
What is your favorite Taylor Swift song?
While I am still huge a fan of her older songs (and constantly find myself shamelessly singing them), my current favorite song is, without a doubt, “I Knew You Were Trouble”
If you could have any super power, what would it be and why?
The ability to stop time, think about all the napping possibilities…
What is your idea of the perfect first date?
The place really depends on the girl, however a perfect first date for me definitely must include lunch (dinner is for couples and old people) and a fun activity (doesn’t matter what, as long as, #1 its fun, and #2 its not boring). I hate how people think first dates should be so formal and stereotypical (dinner and a movie), it makes the date a lot less personal than it should be!
What is your biggest turn-on in a girl?
A great smile.
What are some of your turn offs?
A big ego (there is a lot to be said for shy girls) and too much make-up.
First thing you notice about a girl?
Her eyes.
