Good singers, hilarious dance moves and raw talent came together and made for a great and side-splitting show last Friday and Saturday nights in Collins Alumni Auditorium. The Anteaters’ Ball is far from your typical experience. With styles ranging from Christian hymns and Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles,” to Spanish songs such as “Looking for Paradise” and a saxophone solo, each performance left the audience in stitches or in awe, excited to see what was coming next. As if the name Anteaters’ Ball doesn’t give way to the uniqueness of the performance, upon entering the double doors you realize this is a show like no other. A $5 donation was suggested, serving as the entry fee, with proceeds going to help raise awareness and prevent the spread of Malaria in Africa. The two service clubs partnered with a non-profit organization called Global Health Innovations for this year’s production. This organization designs, implements and manages medical programs focused on providing solutions to save lives one village at a time. Brad Gautney, president and medical director of Global Health Innovations and an Abilene Christian University graduate, spoke to the crowd during intermission. “In areas such as Kenya, Malawi and Haiti, where we do the majority of our work, we see so many children and adults dying needlessly from Malaria,” Gautney said. “This disease can not only be prevented, but also cured after someone is infected. We have a heart for these children and their families, and from that stems our hard work to raise awareness and beat this awful disease.” Right before intermission they showed a video that allowed the audience...

Miguel DaSilva, a former forward for the Lipscomb Bisons soccer team received three offers to go overseas and play professionally. That is not the story though. The story is where DaSilva chose to go play. DaSilva received offers from Finland, Portugal and his home country Angola. That last offer made his decision a lot easier. He signed with Santos FC of Angola in December and is expected to begin play with the club this month. Miguel first arrived in the states in 2001, just a day before the attacks of 9/11. Since arriving that day, he has not returned back to what he used to call home. “I always knew inside of me that I wanted to go back home once I graduated college,” said DaSilva, who earned his degree in international business last month. “When the deal was offered to me back home, (you) couldn’t imagine how excited I was. My family is there, friends, people that I miss daily and I haven’t seen them for about 10 years. I think that’s the place God wanted me to go.” Although he fought with injuries during his time at Lipscomb, DaSilva still posted 32 goals and 28 assists over four seasons. He tied for the team lead with eight goals last season, became the first Lipscomb player to earn all-region honors, and has prompted his coaches to call him the best player in Lipscomb’s history. Now it’s time to return to where life began, time to reconnect with family he hasn’t seen in a decade. “My mother never really saw me play when I grew up, so that’s one...
