Every year, the night before the rivalry basketball game between Lipscomb and Belmont, students rally together to show school spirit. Students give speeches, and a deejay helps get all of the students excited about the game the following night. At the end of the festivities, the students all get behind a truck and run one mile around the surrounding neighborhood, showing the pride and excitement of Lipscomb students. Ariel Jones has the story. Lipscomb and Belmont have always had a strong rivalry, and 131 battles later, the rivalry is still going strong. This year’s game was hard for Lipscomb students to watch as, within minutes, the Bisons were trailing behind the Bruins. Though the players might have gotten discouraged, the fans in the stands were more than uplifting. Bison fans cheered for points and booed for bad calls made by the referees.

As we near the end of October, Halloween isn’t the only thing on the mind of Lipscomb students. Paint the Herd was Friday night and, as predicted by many, was a major success. The Student Government Association sponsors Paint the Herd each year in the lower level of the Allen Arena West parking garage on the last Friday of October. This was the third year that SGA has sponsored the event. Paint the Herd allows students to spend several hours together as a community partying, singing and throwing paint at one another. One of Lipscomb’s own students served as deejay of the event, and the crowd’s approval of his skills was overwhelming. And, unlike in years past, SGA brought out the paint early, nearly as soon as a majority of the partygoers were in the basement of the parking garage. For a $5 cover charge, students were able to be involved in one of the biggest events of the fall semester. Here are some of the highlights.
