Are Lipscomb RAs unfairly compensated?
If you were to ask most students on Lipscomb’s campus what they think their resident assistants (RAs) are getting for their job, they’d probably guess free housing. But, unlike many other schools, that isn’t the case at Lipscomb. In fact, Lipscomb RAs often only get paid for some, not all, of the work they do. According to Ellie Heslon, a Johnson Hall RA in her first year, and Tyler Jorden, a second-year High Rise RA, they get just $9.50 an hour for a set 15 hours each week. However, RAs handle nearly everything involved with dorms, housing emergencies and residence life events. “My typical responsibilities include Wednesday Nights We Eat,…

Friday, April 24, Lipscomb saw the Govs put up a whopping four runs in the first inning of the game. Though the fans initially despaired, the Bisons were quick to answer. Bringing six batters up in the bottom half of the second, Lipscomb…

What was once two positions is now one, reflecting both her leadership and the trust placed in her. While titles matter, what stands out more is…

Vanderbilt overpower Lipscomb 15-1 in Tuesday night clash
Lipscomb baseball fell to the Vanderbilt Commodores 15-1 on Tuesday night at Ken Dugan Field.

Spring 2026 Theatre season closes with Molière’s “School for Wives”
The court of King Louis XIV took over Shamblin Theater this weekend for a production of School for Wives. Audiences who expected a traditional retelling of the playwright Molière’s comedy were in for a surprise: dancers of the Court wore matching hot pink tennis shoes, servants solved Rubick’s cubes onstage and a suitor serenaded his lover with Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.” Director Nat McIntyre said he worked to honor Molière’s original story from 1662, but he also wanted to create an adaptation for a modern audience. One of his main changes was to add the court of Louis XIV, who was king during Molière’s time. Audiences were welcomed to the…
