What do you see when you look at the Mona Lisa? Do you see a mediocre looking woman, or a wonderful, timeless piece of art? What about Jackson Pollock’s Nov. 5, 1948? Do you see the most expensive piece in art’s history or do you feel like the painting could have been done by one of us here at Lipscomb? Leo Tolstoy once wrote, “In order correctly to define art, it is necessary, first of all, to cease to consider it as a means to pleasure and to consider it as one of the conditions of human life. Viewing it in this way we cannot fail to observe that art is one of the means of intercourse between man and man.” Peep the video below to see what some of Lipscomb’s students thought art really was.

There is no doubt that most students will take the day to catch up on sleep or go see a movie. Others will be visiting family, taking mini-road trips or serving the community.

Football at Lipscomb? While it’s been rumored that it is in the bylaws of the university that we cannot have football on campus, some students still believe that we need it. What most students don’t know is that there used to be tackle football on campus. During the late 60s and 70s there was intramural tackle football. Yes, full contact, full pads – tackle football. It was covered by the Babbler, there were injuries, victories and yes, there were even freshman teams that failed to win a game season after season. Each team had a player coach and the games were played on Saturdays; just like some of your favorite college teams. Now, in 2011, some students would love to have 11-on-11 football, others are glad that Lipscomb does not have a team. Check out the video for their comments. Please upgrade your...

Sweep? Yes, Lipscomb will take one. It’s not often that Lipscomb and Belmont play one another three times in four days, but in 2011, it happened. Lipscomb came out on top each time, too. In volleyball, the Lady Bisons continued their conference winning streak, beating Belmont in five sets. The Lady Bisons won this edition of the “Battle of the Boulevard”, but it was a come-from-behind effort. Belmont won the first set 25-20 and the Lady Bisons evened the match at 1-1 with a 25-23 second set. Belmont bounced back to win set three 25-20. But the Lady Bisons came back in a big way in set four with a 25-13 decision. In set five the Lady Bisons held a 10-5 lead but had to hold on at the end for a 15-13 decision. Middle blocker Katie Rose lead the team in kills with 20 and tied for the team lead in digs with 19. Stephanie Rex also had 19 digs. The Lady Bisons are now 13-6 overall and 7-0 in the Atlantic Sun. Friday night, the women’s soccer team hosted Belmont for Part II of the “Battle of the Boulevard.” With the 2-1 victory, it marked the first time that the Lady Bisons had ever beaten the other team on the boulevard. The game-winning goal came from the head of Katie Wood off of a corner kick from Daniel Bethke. The win will prove to be a gigantic one looking back on the season. This could be the start of something good the Coach Ireland’s team going in to the end of conference play. The Lady Bisons...
