Backlog: A leader and a friend can be found in the 1996 Miss Lipscomb, senior Candice Hunter

Backlog: Vandalism or Expression
Republished from the Backlog 1989, pg. 28-29. Everyone has seen the many looks of the Bison this year. It has worn everything from zebra stripes to Bush/Quayle stickers.

This certainly becomes true when the “art” is an expression of a rival school. Yet other students take a more serious opinion. Sophomore Todd Burleson feels “the person(s) responsible for this must not have…

For over 60 years student life has been recorded in The Babbler, but now The Babbler will tell its own story. In 1920, four Lipscomb literary society editors published a monthly journal called Havalind Acts. The journal contained short stories, poetry, jokes, and a few news items.

Republished from The Babbler, Vol. 32, No. 10, Dec. 5, 1952. It all started at school in the Friday afternoon art class when you made wreaths for window decorations. Then those beautiful crystal snowflakes collecting in mounds on the window panes prophesied of more abundant snow to come. The cheerful smiling faces of everybody, the truckloads of evergreens you passed on the highway, and finally, the insert in the paper “just 16 more shopping days until Christmas,” and you dared believe it was really here. Parts were handed out for the Christmas program, and this year you had a platform, the body made it out of logs. Candles threw a…
