Lipscomb’s Department of Business presented its Entrepreneurial Pitch contest this week for students to present their business ideas to local entrepreneurs. Dr. Joe Ivey reported a great turnout at the preliminary Monday night competition, as well as a good showing at the Wednesday night finals. “The students have some extremely good ideas this year,” said Ivey. “We’re going to give these students some opportunities to win prizes, and we hope they’ll use these prizes to fund their ideas.” Students presented ideas ranging from a housing development powered by alternative energy to a website called dormads.com, which functions like an on-campus Craigslist. Bethany Hertrick won the non-profit category with her “international doll” idea, and Nate Underwood won the for-profit category with his food truck park. Each finalist received a cash prize, with both of the first place winners receiving $1,000 to put toward their business endeavors. “Basically, a food truck park will help solve the problem of connecting the customer to the truck,” Underwood said. “I want to do that through an actual location that food trucks can buy into with a membership fee.” Underwood said he also wants to have a web service that will allow the customer to preorder food and walk past the line to the front of the truck to pick up their order. Eight different entrepreneurs and businessmen from around Nashville judged the contests. Jerry Cover, a Lipscomb alumnus and dot com entrepreneur, spoke highly of the participants. “I was really impressed with not only the quality of the products that were presented, but also the quality of the presentations,” Cover said. “I think there’s a...

Lipscomb welcomed James P. Pinkerton to campus Tuesday night as a part of the Don R. Elliot Distinguished Presidential Lecture series. Pinkerton, a domestic policy and campaign worker for both Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, currently serves as the co-chair for the RATE Coalition (Reducing America’s Tax Equitably), an organization dedicated to the decrease of the corporate income tax rate. Pinkerton also serves as a regular contributor to Fox News, best known for his work on the Fox “News Watch” program. He also contributes to Fox News’ website. More recently, Pinkerton served as the senior adviser on the Mike Huckabee 2008 presidential campaign. After an introduction by Linda Peek Schacht, executive director of Lipscomb’s Nelson and Sue Andrews Institute for Civic Leadership, Pinkerton lectured on the importance of governmental involvement in the research for cures of diseases affecting our nation. Pinkerton based his talk on a magazine article featuring actor Michael J. Fox’s charitable organization, which focuses on the cure for Parkinson’s disease. In the article, Fox questioned why the government does not feature a department that specifically goes after curing diseases. Pinkerton agrees with the Fox’s questioning. “He’s sort of right,” Pinkerton said. Pinkerton offered insight into the current trends of FDA and government practices regarding research funding for the cure of major diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and other malevolent sicknesses. Pinkerton believes the future of medicine and the search for cures in our nation rests on the funds and attention received. Above all, Pinkerton believes the American people desire a system of government that will pursue curing diseases and ailments that affect people on...
