by | Jan 30, 2012 | News Slider, Sports

In the last installment of the series we discussed Belmont’s winning streak that began in 1967. Today, we dive into the game that ended that streak. It was 1972 and the Rebels had dominated the Bisons for the last four years. Over those eight games the closest that Lipscomb came to beating the team down the road was in 1969 in a 61-59 game. 12/2/1967 at Belmont Belmont 102-86 1/20/1968 at Lipscomb Belmont 54-46 1/18/1969 at Lipscomb Belmont 61-59 2/15/1969 at Belmont Belmont 78-48 1/17/1970 at Belmont Belmont 95-81 1/31/1970 at Lipscomb Belmont 83-70 1/14/1971 at Lipscomb Belmont 96-88 2/11/1971 at Belmont Belmont 87-74 1/13/1972 at Belmont Lipscomb 88-86   Still, in true rivalry fashion, Belmont battled back tying the game with about three minutes to go. Lipscomb then tied the game with a jump shot and played tight defense on the way back down the floor. Lipscomb held on for the win and a streak their own.Lipscomb, then lead by coach Mike Clark, led by as many as 14 points in the game and led by 11 at halftime. The Bisons had the lead for 36 straight minutes after Belmont opened the scoring.But finally, on January 13, 1972, the Bison played a back and forth game versus the Rebels, but came out on top at the end. The streak lasted all of 25 days. Belmont beat Lipscomb in McQuiddy gym in a double overtime game that ended 79-76 in the Rebels favor.

Despite problems, Wilson says elevators are under control

Recently, the Lumination Network staff has been hearing complaints from the students concerning the safety of elevators on campus. To put those rumors to rest, Lumination news investigated these claims and spoke with Anna Hampton, who was trapped inside the Johnson Hall elevator for over 10 minutes.  Please upgrade your browser According to Hampton, when the elevator reached the third floor the doors just wouldn’t open. They rode the elevator up to the fourth floor, then back down to the first floor to prevent a four-story free-fall. Eventually Lipscomb Security came and pried open the elevator doors, offering no real explanation as to why the incident occurred. With this occurrence, and the elevator mishap in High Rise last semester which caused the elevator to drop eight stories with a student inside, questions are being raised about the maintenance on the elevator systems. Jeff Wilson, Director of Facilities and Retail Operations assured Lumination that the university has the situation under control. Lipscomb contracts with Kone, a elevator maintenance and repair company, who are called out every time an incident occurs. Additionally, Kone does regular inspections on the elevators to insure their...

[VIDEO] Sodexo tells us not to share, but why?

To share or not to share, that is the controversy. The enforcement of not being able to share meals with others has some students confused and upset. Lumination’s Kelly Dean and Caitlin Selle take you behind the meal plan for more details on this current issue.   Please upgrade your browser   The recent confusion has evolved around the fact that students can no longer float other meals in the cafeteria. In years past, students have been able to use their meal plan to “float” or use one of your meal plans for a guest, family member or a friend who may have forgot their Lipscomb ID. Although this sounds like a crucial change, it in fact is not. The reason for this is the addition of a larger Flex sum to the students meal plan. So, although floats cannot be used to cover another person dinner, the additional flex dollars on one’s card can. Another controversial feature in this policy is the fact that students are not provided with a contract they can read and sign when purchasing their meal plans, which is pretty significant considering the lowest on campus housing meal plan starts at $1,745. “I’m not a policeman, I don’t want to be a policeman,” said Roy Platt, General Manager of Lipscomb dining services. “I just ask people to do what is asked.” Further questions regarding meal plans can be addressed to Platt at his email, roy.platt@lipscomb.edu.   Kelly Dean and Cailtin Selle each contributed to this...
