The Civil Wars, an up-and-coming Americana duo who hail from Nashville, will perform a free concert for Lipscomb students with IDs this Friday, December 3. The show starts at 7:00 p.m. in Shamblin Theater. Doors open at 6, and space is limited. Dillon Hodges is the opening act. Joy Williams and John Paul White, who make up the band, met a year and a half ago and immediately started writing music and performing together. “I cannot wait until the prettiest woman in the music biz is here on campus this weekend,” read freshman Adam Sain’s facebook status. Their four-song EP was released on iTunes and debuted at #4 on the Singer/Songwriter Top Albums chart and had a song featured on Grey’s Anatomy. Their first full-length cd, Barton Hollow, is set to be released on February 1 of next year. Their best-known song, “Poison and Wine,” has been on USA Today’s “Picks of the Week” list, and Taylor Swift said of the song: “This song kills me. It’s such a real glimpse into miscommunications in a relationship. Love can feel so wrong and so right at the same time. I think this is my favorite duet. It’s exquisite.” Their song “Barton Hollow” will be used in Billy Reid’s 2011 Spring fashion show. “You’re not going to want to miss out on this exciting event,” said SGA spiritaul life chair Amy Etepp, a junior public relations major form Kingsport, Tenn. “The Civil Wars will become your new favorite group.” Don’t miss this exciting event!

Trunk or Treat Thursday evening will be just the beginning of what promises to be a spooky good time at Lipscomb this Halloween. SGA, Kappa Iota Theta and Residence Life are throwing the first of what is planned to be an annual trunk or treat event from 6-8 p.m. Thursday in the Allen Arena Circle. Groups from around campus – including representatives of Lumination Network – will sponsor vehicles that will pass out candy to students who visit their trunks. The event also will have food, a pumpkin patch and a couple of musical guests. “SGA is constantly focusing on establishing and maintaining a community here on campus,” said Leah Raich a junior SGA senator. “What better way to do that than by a campus-wide trunk or treat?” It’s not all goodies, though, as other parts of campus are involved in the Halloween festivities. For example, the spinning classes offered in the SAC this week have taken on a spooky feel. The studio has been “haunted,” with black lights, Halloween music and a graveyard scene. Halloween classics such as Goosebumps and Halloween will be the backdrop as students ride the bikes. On Sunday, all rides will be free as SeaMonsters 3D provides the setting. “Our spinning instructors are excited to see all the current as well as new spinners experience these haunted rides,” said Emily Harris, director of campus recreation. “You won’t want to miss this exciting opportunity. Call 615-966-5860 to reserve your bike.” Another nostalgic event is the airing of Hocus Pocus – a cherished Disney flick — in Fanning’s courtyard at 6 p.m. Sunday. This one ought...

Paint the Herd: a new twist on an old tradition was the first of its kind event at Lipscomb. Sponsored by SGA, Paint the Herd took place in the lower level of the new parking garage. The floors were covered with tarp and fenced in with lights that constantly changed colors, for an underground look. DJ Potamus mixed the music for the paint rave. Students lined up early to participate in the event. After the first paint was launched by SGA via hand-held paint cannons, individual paint bottles were handed out for participants to squirt each other.
