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...

On a cool, windy October night at Lipscomb University, something changed about one of the men’s residence halls. Haunted High Rise was the occasion, bringing Lipscomb students out to get the adrenaline flowing. Men from each floor set up their own “haunted house” in their respective hallways. Setup was tedious with all the garbage bags, fake blood and masks, but when things finally got rolling, the fun began. “I think I was the scariest clown ever. I made people cry,” said Charlie Coffee, who played the part of the infamous Jigsaw from the Saw series. Students would walk into the bathroom where a merciless clown would slam the door behind them. The doorknob was removed so groups were left helpless in the third-floor bathroom with no way out. In pitch black, a strobe light flashed and Coffee came into view, wearing his Jigsaw mask and suit and sitting on his knees. After a creepy voiceover from a nearby computer, Coffee then took out his power drill and went after the groups. He was joined in his mission by some bathroom clowns. One victim was freshman Julie Berardinis. “We got locked in with a creepy clown and a drill, but you all did such a good job,” she said, calling it the “highlight of my time here.” Every floor had its own unique, creative ideas in order to get a scream out of people. In the end, the fifth floor won the competition for the scariest hall, with the third floor coming in at close second. “We may not have won, but we had a great bonding experience working on...

The multicultural club Kappa Iota Theta is once again presenting Stomp Fest to the Lipscomb student body and this year the competition is expected to be fierce. This will be the second Stomp Fest that Lipscomb has had on campus and hopefully will become a tradition every year. Each social club will have the opportunity to represent their club with one of the greatest forms of creating sound with voice, hands and feet: stepping. Stomp Fest was inspired by the 07’movie Stomp the Yard, a definite go and see movie. This is a step competition that not only makes a social club look good to its peers, but also a time where the social club builds stronger relationships with each other. Stomp Fest is quickly approaching and those involved have practiced long hours almost every day to sound as one unit making one sound. Each group has at least five minutes to stomp, dance (some might say choreograph) and perform a skit to the judges and the student body in Collins Alumni. Stomp Fest is sure to get every student clapping and nodding their heads to the beat each group presents. Stomp the Yard, meet Stomp Fest at Lipscomb University Friday, November 11, at 9:00...

Candy out of cars? It’s really okay, because it was Lipscomb’s annual Trunk or Treat. This residence life event had live music, warm cider, cornhole, face painting, hot chocolate, smores, and of course, lots of candy. Different clubs and organizations had decorated trunks full of candy for students and children that were invited from Y.E.S. (Youth Encouragement Services.) This event was a fun time to hang out by the fire and celebrate Halloween with fellow bison. Please upgrade your...
