Kappa Iota Theta will present its second annual Stomp Fest Friday, Nov. 11 at 9 p.m. Two years ago, Elizabeth Hayes, a social work major from Nashville, shared her interest in creating an annual step show on campus. Inspired by the movie “Stomp the Yard,” Hayes had a new vision of bringing students together through dance and step. In November 2010, Kappa Iota Theta held its first stepping competition between social clubs on campus. “You have talent shows where everybody sings,” said Hayes. “You have Singarama where everybody dances and sings at the same time, but you don’t have anything where they really step.” Now a senior and the president of Kappa Iota Theta, the multicultural association, Hayes feels optimistic that the step show will continue to be an annual tradition that brings students together. “I was shocked and thrilled at last year’s turnout of the first competition,” said Assistant Dean of Student Intercultural Development Tenielle Buchanan. “I am expecting the teams to be bigger and better than last year.” “I’m really happy that Stomp Fest is back again,” said Hayes. “I think it’s going be great. I feel that it is something everyone can enjoy.” One thing students can expect to see different in this year’s competition is the level of creativity. Each group creates a five to seven minute storyline based on a chosen theme, which they will be judged on. The categories include creativity, uniformity, execution, crowd enthusiasm, showmanship and vocal clarity. “I expect the teams to either go hard or go home,” said Buchanan. “The expectations are high.” When asked why students should attend Stomp Fest, ...

Bright fluorescent lights, loud music, fog and everyone dancing while throwing paint at each other isn’t something that happens on a regular basis at Lipscomb. But this Friday, Oct. 28, based on last year’s success, SGA is bringing back Paint the Herd. According to SGA member Amy Estepp, one reason why the Paint the Herd tradition is continuing is because “we received amazing support from students last year and even greater responses after the party.” “This year we are having a different DJ and will be expanding the cage to make the space a little larger than last year,” Estepp said, explaining a few changes to the event. Also, this year’s Paint the Herd will last one hour longer. While Paint the Herd is considered a paint-rave, Estepp said the administration is supportive. “We have an amazing administration that supports students and their ideas,” she said, “so it made it an easy decision for us to continue this tradition.” DJ Telemitry will be mixing the music for the night. Last year, many students dressed for the night and wore white t-shirts and SGA handed out white paint suits. Students also brought goggles and wore clothing, including shoes, that they didn’t mind getting paint on. Come prepared to have paint splattered on you and be ready to splatter others. Like last year, the event will take place in the lower level of the Arena West parking garage. Paint the Herd will start at 10 p.m. and end at 1:30 a.m. Lipscomb students can attend for $3 with an ID. Non-students can attend also but for $10. To see what happend last year click...
