Tuesday nights on Lipscomb’s campus have gotten tastier, as the Student Activities Board announced and has already held a new event called “Tuesday Night Treats”, or TNT. The event, as Director of Student Activities Louis Nelms said, is SAB’s weekly event, held every Tuesday night from nine to ten and will feature a variety of food choices.” Nelms said that SAB was looking for new ideas for the upcoming school year when someone mentioned hosting a weekly event. SAB looked at other weekly events hosted on campus: Coffeehouse, Wednesday Night We Eat, Wednesday Night Devo, and found something doable that hopefully, as Nelms mentioned, would not create as much conflict with other events on campus or in the area—thus Tuesday Night Treats. Nelms also said that the future is bright for TNT. He hopes to partner with others for the event, whether it be a social club promoting a fundraiser, a Lipscomb sports team promoting a game or a local church. Tuesday Night Treats will be in its second week on Aug. 26, and if you want to check out the menu ahead of time visit lipscombsab.com. Under the TNT events, the menu will be...

The semester may quickly be drawing to an end, but Lipscomb’s Student Government Association is still in planning mode, working with administration to govern students more effectively. “Something that we’re currently working on internally is that we’re trying to revise the constitution,” SGA President Andrew Hunt said. “We have found that Lipscomb has changed a lot in the past few years,” Hunt said. “We feel like we can better work with the administration.” The constitution was last revised in 2010. “Things have changed a lot even since then,” he said. “We’re trying to restructure SGA.” Hunt, a senior and corporate management major, also said SGA is working with the provost’s office to revamp certain majors. “We recently sent out some surveys to students to see what the demand for each major is,” Hunt said. “They are some departments that are more adult study heavy, like business, [law, justice and society], social work, where classes are only offered at night.” Hunt says SGA wants to give a chance for students to be able to get more involved in night activities. “We’re working with the provost to see if there’s any way we can take students out of [night classes] by offering the classes during the day as well,” Hunt said. Some SGA plans are already in motion, such as adding a new printer to the Ezell Center. “Hopefully, after spring break, we’ll have a printer in Ezell,” Hunt said. “We’ve been working with a lot of the departments in Ezell to see who can fund it. We’re trying to find sponsorship for that directly.” SGA is also working on meal...

Lipscomb’s Student Activities Board has been working hard this summer to create a full slate of events to entertain students during the fall semester, including some usual suspects and a concert with a noted local musician. Thanks to the partnership with SAB, SGA, Campus Ministry and Lipscomb Athletics, there is some sort of activities planned every day of the week throughout the fall. If you take a look at the schedule, you’ll recognize some of the main attractions that come up every year: the Dodgeball Tournament, Paint the Herd, and the Running of the Bison. In addition to the normal events, SAB added more events with the help of their on campus partnerships. SGA President Andrew Hunt has been working alongside SAB to create more events every week on campus. “Besides some new events, the only major difference for this semester is that we’re working a lot more closely with SAB,” Hunt said. “We hope that splitting the cost of events will help both of our budgets go further, so we will be able to have more, higher-quality events.” Local musician Dave Barnes will kick off Homecoming Week in concert on Oct.1 at 7 p.m. in Collins Alumni Auditorium. Director of Student Involvement Louis Nelms said he hopes that bringing in more musical talent can become a precedent for campus concerts. “I think live music makes everything better. We’re in Nashville, which is Music City. We have great venues on campus that we haven’t used,” Nelms said.” “So, one thing that we’re trying to do is bring in more bands from the outside and give artist a chance to showcase...
