Lipscomb hosts sixth annual Savannah’s Boogie
Lipscomb University’s IDEAL Program supports students through community fundraiser. As homecoming weekend draws near, so does the sixth annual Savannah’s Boogie. Presented by Lipscomb’s IDEAL Program, Savannah’s Boogie is an event featuring a 5K, a Fun Run, and a cornhole tournament. Formerly known as the “Bison Boogie,” Savannah’s Boogie was renamed in honor of Savannah Miller, an IDEAL student who passed away in 2020. Savannah loved to dance and have fun, which made the word “boogie” the perfect fit. This year, those who “boogie” in the 5k, Fun Run, or cornhole tournament will help raise money for the IDEAL scholarship fund, which helps make it possible for students and their…

Haunted – Preds fans scared by October start
The Nashville Predators are desperately looking to scrape together some wins. One month into the NHL season, things aren’t going as planned for the Preds. From the very first game, the team’s Western Canadian road trip began with disappointment. The Edmonton Oilers slaughtered the boys from Smashville 7-4, moving the Predators’ season record down to 3-6-1. The Predators season so far has not been very stellar. A struggling offense, leaky defense and a weak power play, are just some of the issues the team has been facing lately. On paper, the Predators have a highly skilled team capable of being at the top of the central division. How do the…

Halloween Dodgeball 2022: Who was the best dressed?
The annual Halloween Dodgeball tournament returned to Fanning Hall. The spooky tradition packs students into the Fanning courtyard each year where they watch their peers go head-to-head. This Lipscomb tradition has been put on for nearly two decades. But each time, you’re guaranteed to see something you’ve never seen before. Traditionally in sports, teams are united by uniforms. But in this tournament, teams are united by creative costumes. How could Halloween ever exist without the costumes?

Volunteers needed to study trauma effects
As we all know, there are challenges when a student transitions from high school to college. But are there unique problems for those who have survived “difficult” childhoods? A Lipscomb graduate student has designed a survey to investigate the effects of trauma later in life. Baljeet Loaee, a psychology graduate student has launched a study of “the association between childhood maltreatment and student adaptation to college and their academic performance.” The study is built around a 30 to 45 minute survey for students over 18 years old. Loaee says there is not much evidence on the impact of childhood trauma on undergraduate students and their adaptation to college. “This research will…

Parking on campus: is it as bad as you think?
Parking is a problem that Lipscomb University has faced since (what seems like) the beginning of time. It’s maddening. It’s frustrating. It’s… maybe not as bad as you think. There are 1,367 spots on this campus for students, including the 68 handicap-accessible spots. That number seems pretty irrelevant when it takes 20 minutes to find a parking spot on campus, but maybe we just aren’t looking in the right place.

Halloween dodgeball returns for a spooky season
The crowd is roaring. The competition is ruthless. A nun is on the ground. Madness has just begun. Each year for nearly two decades, the Student Activities Board hosts the fabled Halloween Dodgeball Tournament. A fight-club style evening where students of all ages come together in one cage. Teams enter in groups of five, and united by their choice of costumes, play for a championship. The tournament is October 28th at 8 p.m. in Fanning Hall and is a centerpiece of Lipscomb’s annual Hallo-Week festivities. A fenced-in court replaces the Fanning courtyard, and spectators pack the floors of the building and watch the action mirroring a colosseum. Rather than gathering to…

President pioneers hub for student resources
According to Angel Bebout, University Registrar, the registrar’s office could be “considered the blood of the body,” the body being Lipscomb University. The same could probably be said about Campus Security, Financial Aid, and the IT office. From admission to graduation, these offices are with students every step of the way and have the potential to improve their college experience. In the past several years, many students have had negative experiences when dealing with these offices; this has led to stress, frustration, and uncertainty. When finding a solution, President McQueen set the focus on students. Bison One Stop is a hub created to answer students’ urgent questions about topics affecting…

Winans, Wilson dominate at Doves
Lipscomb hosted the 53rd annual Dove Awards at Allen Arena Tuesday, welcoming the Gospel Music Association (GMA) and honoring its picks for the best Christian music and entertainment across various genres. Chris Tomlin and Erica Campbell were the hosts of GMA’s flagship event, while other stars such as TobyMac, Maverick City Music, and Phil Wickham graced the stage at Allen Arena during the performance. Lipscomb prepared for the event by completely transforming the Student Activities Center. Completely decked out with a red carpet, a press room, and interview booths, it was a hive of hype hardly recognizable to students. The day started around 3:30 p.m. when artists, presenters and more…
