Student Life dove into sexual purity from a Biblical viewpoint at Wednesday night’s “Unfiltered” series – a study that allows students to discuss difficult topics. Sam Smith, Dean of Student Life, came up with this series from a conversation he had with Josh Roberts, Dean of Student Development. “Josh Roberts and I went to a conference with some of our sister-school deans, and we were talking about what our campuses should look like, what our students are struggling with and how we can address those issues,” Smith said. “We realized there was this void on our campus when it came to these types of discussions, and instead of trying to avoid it, we’re going to do our best to address it.” “Unfiltered” is a four-part series, and each meeting covers a different topic. The topics include: online identity in social media, pornography and faith, sexual purity and substance abuse. Smith and Roberts decided to purposely not make the series available for chapel credit or a requirement for any Bible classes. They didn’t want students to feel forced in any way to attend the meetings because they knew they were difficult topics to confront. This week, the topic was sexual purity. Dr. Earl Lavender, a bible professor, led the discussion for the evening. He focused on maintaining a Christ-centered identity in a world focused on self-interest and sexual pleasure. “[Students need to] believe that God wills for you to flourish,” Lavender said. “He’s not giving you laws to frustrate you and tell you what you can’t do. He’s created you for His glory, and His teachings on appropriate sexual behavior are...

Lipscomb students are finding relief at Chegg.com, a new site offering to rent textbooks at a reasonable price, providing an option from the campus bookstore. According to the National Association of College Stores, students can spend as much as $667 per year on required course materials. This semester is well under way, but it won’t be long before it’s time to buy — or rent — books for the next semester. The Chegg label on textbook bindings means that students have at least shopped around. “I have used Chegg for two years, and I’m very satisfied with the service after saving nearly $500 dollars,” said Elizabeth Hooper, a junior elementary education major. “Textbooks arrive within two days after the order was placed.” Hooper said students should use Chegg.com for all textbook-related deals. Several rental companies are involved at campus bookstores. Lipscomb’s campus bookstore — owned by Follett Higher Education Group — uses the “Rent-A-Text” program. But Chegg remains the leading rental company in the country. Chegg might be the only option for some students, according to senior Kyle Chapman. “I was disappointed to learn my books were not offered in the (Rent-A-Text) program,” Chapman said. “I’ll definitely explore Chegg.com next semester.” Chegg’s environmental commitment also is a plus to some students. For every book rented, the company said it will plant a new tree in the country chosen by the renter. According to Chegg.com, the company planted over one million trees in...
