Does the the mention of dodgeball spur images of friends and enemies running around throwing red foam balls at various targets? Well Lipscomb University is striving to change that opinion and promote the “life” of dodge ball and its purpose on the campus. “Dodgeball is a meant to be a saga,” said Garner Goode, director of student involvement. “We watched dodgeball as it was played over and over on the Lipscomb campus. It was in fact, overplayed, and so we killed it. “Then we watched as it was brought back from the dead and was reborn into our events here at Lipscomb last year. This year, we have to watch it and try to figure out where dodgeball has gone wrong.” This year’s theme in dodgeball is “No Escape,” named for the prison-like features of Fanning . “The purpose of the audience is to try and decipher why dodge ball needed to go to prison and what went wrong,” Goode said. “The Lipscomb campus has been so wrapped up in the life of dodgeball since we began the program several years ago. We need their help to get into the personality of dodgeball.” In 2004, dodgeball was played in the fall and spring semester and then again in the fall 2005 semester. In the spring semester of that year however, dodgeball was “killed” so there were no dodgeball games in 2006 or 2007. However, in 2008, dodgeball was brought back to life and reborn in 2009, and featured teams such as the ones pictures: the Indianapolis Cults (above), including Jim Jones and his followers, and Team Belmont (left). “The goal is to have fun,” Goode said....
