This Saturday, the department of communication and journalism will be hosting an introduction to its student-produced media network, Lumination Network, for those students interested in journalism, writing stories, photography, or shooting/editing video. We’ll provide doughnuts, water and an introduction to how you can become involved in campus student media. The workshop is this Saturday, September 18, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the Mullican TV Studio Newsroom of Ezell Center (first floor). The purpose of this workshop is to get students plugged into the network and for students to begin working with our staff. The day will begin with an general introduction about Lumination by its editor-in-chief, Kate Keith. Then students will breakout into 30-minute sessions on writing, photography, video shooting and video editing. Journalist-in-residence Tim Ghianni will be teaching students how to tell stories, and Tennessean photographer John Partipillo will lead the session on photography.

Students at Lipscomb are eager to break in the new intramural sports field being constructed just east of the Bennett Campus Center. “I think the new intramural fields will bring a bigger sense of community to campus,” said Junior Jordan Lewis. Lipscomb currently offers independent and club intramural leagues in softball, flag football, volleyball, basketball and soccer. A golf scramble is also held in the Spring. Although the field will not have an actual baseball diamond, the new area will bring student teams together to play softball, flag football, and soccer intramurals. As the semester progresses, the field will be used for other social events. “Campus Recreation is more than excited to have our own intramural field,” said Emily Harris, director of Campus Recreation. “Sport participation is always higher when played on campus.” Mike Smith, resident director of High Rise, is excited for the finishing touches. “Lighting the field is a big priority,” Smith said. “In order to play a regular intramural season of any sport, lights will be of necessity.” Campus Life and the Lipscomb Student Government will be lighting the field soon with SGA donating $8,000 toward new lights. “We’re excited to help turn the lights on,” said SGA President Jackson Sprayberry. The field will be accessible starting September 24. Be sure to check Lumination for details about the grand opening...

Sept. 11, 2001, is a date most will never forget. We remember the sight of the first tower falling, followed shortly thereafter by the second. We remember people crossing the Brooklyn Bridge by the hundreds. We remember firefighters, police officers and port authority officers showing a great amount of bravery as they went upstairs into the World Trade Center building while civilians ran downstairs. We remember seeing faces covered with dust and tears. One thing is almost guaranteed — those images are ingrained into our minds, never to leave. Saturday marked the ninth anniversary of those terrorist attacks on our country. Thousands of innocent lives were lost that day, and millions more were forever changed. But how did your peers react to the attacks that day, and in the days after? It’s hard to imagine that most of the students at Lipscomb have lived half of their lives in a post 9/11 world. Whether we were in class, at home or in the car, we all have a story to tell about that day. They are all unique in their own right. These students were asked what they remembered about where they were and how they found out about the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. These are their responses. Raleigh McCool, a senior English major from Nashville — “I was in ninth grade at my high school and I remember walking out into the hallway, and there was a girl beside me and she said, ‘There was a bomb in an airplane and it had blown up in a building.’ I had no idea what she was talking about....

A Nashville gem, Shakespeare in the Park, closes its show Love’s Labor’s Lost this weekend in Centennial Park. Shakespeare in the Park has been a part of Nashville for 23 years. Thousands gather each year in the Centennial Park Bandshell for a night of celebrating the Nashville theatre scene and enjoying free Shakespeare. Love Labor’s Lost is a comedy about four men who renounce love for academics, but Cupid takes control when four beautiful women show up. Taking a very earthy approach, the play combines the natural elements with a Victorian time period. The show runs Thursday through Sunday starting at 7:30 p.m. However, if you want to find a place to spread your blanket, you need to arrive by 6:45 p.m. The show is free, but a $5 donation is suggested, which goes to their production costs. This weekend is the closing weekend and your last chance to experience Shakespeare in the Park. Nashville Shakespeare Festival will be debuting its first piece not written by William Shakespeare this fall. They are presenting “Shakespeare’s Case” in which Shakespeare is charged with being irrelevant and forced to testify in court. Next year’s summer production will be Romeo and Juliet. But that’s not all! This month is full of Nashville culture. Greek Fest runs September 10-12 at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church near the intersection of Franklin Pike and Tyne Boulevard. The Italian Lights Festival also happens this weekend, and Oktoberfest is scheduled for October 9 in historic Germantown in Nashville. Don’t have plans for Saturday night? Stomp some grapes, make a picnic of baklava and head to Centennial Park for...
