Small Business Bash promotes opportunity, charity
The Honors College at Lipscomb will host a Small Business Bash on the lawn of the Honors House October 20th from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Fifteen percent of the total revenue from each student business will be given to Book’em; a nonprofit promoting childhood literacy. Many young entrepreneurs know the difficulty of finding a location to sell their products. Through the Small Business Bash, creative students will receive a space to sell their products and promote their brands around campus. One major benefit of face-to-face selling is the interpersonal connections the consumer gains with the creator. Additionally, buyers can physically handle the products rather than buy the product online…

‘Zeke’ mode
On Wednesday, Sept. 7th, anyone in the world could have watched as Memphis underwent multiple shootings within in hours of each other, all by the same person. Ezekiel “Zeke” Kelly is streaming on Facebook Live while driving a vehicle when he pulls into an AutoZone. He gets out of the car and flips the camera around, just in time to show what happens next. Kelly fires two bullets towards a passerby in the checkout line, clearly visible in the footage, then proceeds to run out of the store as the video ends. “Memphis has always been a crazy town.” Thus says Evann, a Memphis University graduate who has lived in…

Singarama ‘adds a whole new level of community’ for Lipscomb campus
Republished from Lumination Network, March 23, 2022. For the first time since the start of the pandemic, Singarama will be held in person, in Collin Alumni Auditorium, March 24-26.

Students share Thanksgiving traditions
While Thanksgiving is a national holiday, that doesn’t mean everyone celebrates it the same way. Sometimes having small families means you have a small close knit dinner, while others celebrate the holiday with their extended family and have close to thirty people in one home. For other students, location is a factor in how they celebrate their Thanksgiving. Besides offering a week off of classes, the Thanksgiving holiday break allows Lipscomb students to reflect on many traditions, some that may be a little comical. “My grandpa always cuts the turkey and manages to cut his finger every year,” said Amber Leach a junior finance major from Jackson, Ohio. While some…

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. Some students label the spray-painting of the Bison as art. According to Junior Jason Shelton, it is a way of expressing inner feelings. Todd Roland considers it a harmless way to “blow off steam” and would rather see the Bison paint- ed. than a building or a car. 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…
