The Battle of the Boulevard. A rivalry often defined by distance, integrity, fierce competitiveness and respect. The schools set just two miles apart on the same boulevard. In all of the NCAA, there are not two schools that sit closer to one another. The game itself has the ability to bring out the best in any player, coach or team. Ever since the McQuiddy gym days, fans have had an extreme impact on the outcome of games. The Battle, while it is only two halves at a time, seems like a war. It’s a war on the court between the players. Ten men at a time, battling not only for a boulevard, but for every inch of the court, every loose ball and every ounce of pride that one may have after a win against that “team down the road.” Lipscomb and Belmont have played 129 times leading up to the February third matchup in Allen Arena on Don Meyer court. While Lipscomb holds the lead in the series 73-56, the two are tied since both schools have gone to the NCAA. Twenty-four of those 73 wins were in the 1980s with the likes of Phil Hutcheson and John Pierce on the team. During that span, Belmont won only six games. However, in the 50s, 60s and 70s, Belmont had the better record. Over the next week, the Battle of the Boulevard will be highlighted with articles dating back from 1960 to 2011. The wins, the losses, the heartbreak, the revelry, and the rivalry. “Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings...

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...
