The Lady Bisons return to Draper Diamond on Friday for the first time since last season. They will face off against Butler to kick off the Lady Bison Classic. The Lady Bisons come in to the game after playing in the Georgia Tournament and the UAB Tournament. Compiling a 5-8 record in the two tournaments, the Lady Bisons look to get back on track. Whitney Kiihnl plans on using her leadership to help the Lady Bisons throughout the season and this weekend. “I hope the other girls see me as a leader, in that they see me more as a spiritual leader,” Kiinhl said. “God allowed me to be a part of the Lipscomb softball team for a reason, and so hopefully I am doing God’s will by being a good influence on my teammates.” “I just try to tell the younger girls to be confident and believe in themselves. I’ve learned that the mental game is a huge part of playing at the college level. Believing in yourself can go a long way.” As far as the Lady Bison Classic goes, Kiinhl says it’s simple and it will be good to play at home. “I like playing at home because it’s just a comforting feeling,” Kiinhl said. “We’re used to the training room, the locker room and the field. I enjoy seeing my friends and all our supporters at the games. “We just have to show up to play. Offensively and defensively, we have to be prepared and on our A-game.” Kiihnl’s goal for the season may be different than most teams or players, but she is sure...

“In Donors We Trust” was the theme of Tuition Freedom Day 2011. The Event was hosted for the first time by Lipscomb and sponsored by the Student Philanthropy Council. Assistant Director of Annual Giving Sonja Hayes was on-hand at the event to spill all the juicy details about Tuition Freedom Day 2011. “Tuition Freedom Day is meant to bring awareness to students about what private gifts can do for the school,” Hayes said. “We really want students to pay it forward.” Senior law, justice and society major Conrad Beauchamp shouted for joy at the day’s celebration. “Thank you for supporting broke kids like me!” said Beauchamp. Hayes said this day has been set aside for students to write thank you notes to those donors who have given over $6 million this year to Lipscomb University. Donations made by anonymous donors, parents and friends of the university cover about 30 percent of each student’s educational costs per school year. Members of the Student Philanthropy Council helped to run the event. The chair of the council and president of the Student Government Association Jackson Sprayberry, council member Bryce Davidson and theatre major Carter Martin were among the first group. They all took the time to explain the benefits these donations had for all students to each person as they walked in the Bennett Campus Center. Just before 10:35 a.m. three freshman, Angie Harding, Jasmine Booker and Jasmine Gales snatched up the last three small t-shirts leaving only one 2XL t-shirt for the taking. The event was held in the lobby of the Bennett Campus Center from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m....

The Capitol Mall, the Lincoln Memorial and the White House will substitute for the classroom Feb. 25-March 2 when 40 law, justice and society students observe and interact with the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government in Washington, D.C. The trip is one element of the Introduction to American Law class taught by Dr. Charla Long. By visiting the capital, students will be able to experience the legal processes they are learning about in textbooks. The tour schedule is packed, but there will be free time to allow the students to discover the city for themselves. A mandatory photo scavenger hunt is planned to guide students to the most important places in Washington, D.C. Students will also be required to keep a daily journal recounting what they learned that day to assist them with the final paper due after the trip. Fresh off the plane, students will head to a moonlight walking tour of the mall. Here, they will see the U.S. Capitol, the U.S. Supreme Court, the Smithsonian, and the Washington, World War II and Lincoln monuments. “I am excited to see American history from my own perspective,” said sophomore Brooke Brennan, an LJS major from Old Hickory, Tenn. Other plans for the group include a visit to the National Archives, Arlington National Cemetery and the U.S. Holocaust Museum. Seats have been confirmed for all students at U.S. Supreme Court oral arguments and they will also tour the White House. Introduction to American Law students will also be given the opportunity to meet with their senators at Tennessee Tuesdays on the Hill. “Getting the chance to meet...
