The audience bid farewell to the Arcadian Wild’s Isaac Horn Tuesday night in Shamblin Theatre. But only for three months. The indie-folk group, composed of junior Sarah Wood, senior Everett Davis, sophomore Horn and Lipscomb graduate Lincoln Mick, put on their last show of the semester just a day before Horn will get on a plane to Vienna to study abroad. Also on the line-up for the evening was Brother Parker and Nordista Freeze. “It hasn’t quite settled in that I’m going to be on the other side of the world in 24 hours,” Horn said. The group welcomed Horn in the fall of 2014, when he moved from Jonesboro, Arkansas to begin his first semester at Lipscomb. “Since I’ve been at Lipscomb I’ve been playing with the Arcadian Wild, so it’s going to be odd to have a significant portion of the year completely absent of that,” Horn said. Wood said that spending a few months not playing together will be something different for the group. “We’ve become like a little family, so to kind of take a break from it for a little period of time is going to be really weird, but I think it will be good,” Wood said. While Horn is studying abroad the group will not play any shows. For music major Davis, he said the break came just in time. As he prepares to graduate in May, he is also getting ready for an audition at Belmont for graduate school, along with his senior music recital. Horn, on the other hand, said he is looking forward to being somewhere completely new. “I anticipate...

Heavy snow fell fast in Nashville Friday morning, with the largest snowfall since 2003, and Lipscomb students reacted fast with snowball fights, snow angels and snowmen. “One of the most joyous moments of today was waking up at 7 and finding out that there was no class,” sophomore Libby Daughtry said. “So I’ve just enjoyed today sleeping in, hanging with friends and I’m going to get some hot chocolate later.” And the snow isn’t going to end soon. Heavy snow moved into the Nashville area early Friday and continues to fall as the day progresses. Early in the morning, classes were canceled for Friday, Jan. 22, 2016, and university offices were closed. Senior Caleb Janelle spent the snow day with his club, Sigma Omega Sigma. On Friday mornings SOS has a club breakfast, but their normal breakfast turned into something a little out of the ordinary. “We went and got breakfast and came back out to throw snowballs,” Janelle said. “It’s been a lot of fun — ganging up on people when they come join us. It’s just fun being in the snow, especially because it’s wonderful-packing snow. Most the time, when you get snow around here, it’s just that really fine snow, and you can’t really make good snowballs out of it. But this snow you can.” Janelle said he planned to spend most of his snow day outside, since Nashville doesn’t often get this much snow. “I’m glad [the snow day is] on Friday because I didn’t want to miss too many days. The more we miss, the more disadvantaged we are. But I could take a Friday off...
