Page 6 u Page 2 Legacy s Student Newspaper The Volume 4, Number 3 www.lulegacy.com Sept. 22, 2010 Students to elect LSGA senate By Natasha Sakovich Managing Editor Students have an opportunity to make history this week by voting for the first members of the new student senate, a recent addition to the Student Government Association. Voting for the new senate is taking place outside the Cox cafeteria on the second floor of the Spellmann Center until Friday, Sept. 24. This newly formed senate will consist of 10 student members, with one man and one woman representing each class (including graduate students). Kerry Cox, director of student activities said, The purpose behind creating the senate was to increase student advocacy across the board. We felt like LSGA didn t have enough structure, and this is just one way that we re trying to reform it. Senate members will focus more on advocacy for student concerns rather than event and activity planning. If students have a problem or a concern, they can now directly contact their senate representatives to help resolve the issue, said LSGA Vice President Jennifer Swisher. The senate really is all about increasing advocacy and helping every student to have a say in what goes on. The senate is also designed to help facilitate better communication throughout the university. One of the ways individual senate members will accomplish this goal is to sit in on certain faculty committee meetings each week, like the retention committee. At meetings, the senate will provide a student perspective to certain issues, Cox It will be a great help to have student input on a lot of aspects, such as ways that can continue to increase student retention. The senate election was originally set to take place the week of Sept. 13-17, but due to technical problems Please see Election, Page 8 Faculty Day Parking Woes nixes classes at LU today Administrators plan trip to Belleville campus to check out new facilities By Holly Hoechstenbach Today students are able to catch up on sleep and class work or take a break from the week s stress. Since today is a Faculty Work Day, all classes for the day are canceled except 4:30 and later evening and graduate classes. Each year, the purpose of Faculty Work Day varies. Unlike previous years, this day serves a completely different purpose for faculty members. Today they will board busses and visit the campus in Belleville, Ill. Faculty members will have the opportunity to see Belleville s facilities and check out the new bachelor s degree day program. Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Jann Weitzel said the goal this year is for faculty members to meet students and other members at the Belleville It s a good opportunity to learn about the new campus. campus and become familiar with their day program. We all need to understand all aspects of the university, Weitzel Spanish professor Maite Nuñez-Betelu is looking forward to this day. It s a good opportunity to learn about the new campus, Nuñez- Betelu I don t Maite Nunez- Betelu Spanish Professor know anything about the Belleville campus. O v e r a l l, students enjoy having a day with no classes. It s great having a day off to chill and catch up on work, graduate student Malvika Behl We need more days like this. Junior Aaron Kothe had a similar response. Having no classes is great, but it would make more sense if it was held on a Monday or Friday, Also, I think bringing in speakers or providing something fun for students to do would be nice. Legacy photo by M.E. Brown Two cars park illegally in front of Stumberg Hall. With a record-breaking number of students on campus, ideal parking spaces have become scarce, prompting drivers to create makeshift areas. Security Director Kurt Smith implemented a new system to cut down on illegal parking. New policies try to curb violations By Kenny Gerling Updates to security procedures are having a positive effect on parking well into the fifth week of classes, security personnel say. Kurt Smith, hired over the summer as director of public safety and security, has instituted a new set of policies to curb the rampant parking violations that have plagued the campus in the past. Smith said that upon beginning work, there were some obstacles, with parking enforcement being one of the main challenges. One of the new parking control strategies is a three-step system beginning with a warning citation, escalating to a boot and then ending, on the third offense, with the car being impounded. Smith said that issuing a warning first appears to be effective in getting the point across. It s a way of letting drivers know that now the policies are being vehemently enforced, Smith Along with increased enforcement, security hopes that an emphasis on alternative parking will reduce violations. I ve encouraged alternative parking at the performance arena, Scheidegger Center and even at the Cultural Center, Smith We don t want to issue summonses but students can t park in areas they re not supposed to be in. Smith said that the policies effectiveness is due to a system of open dialogue with students and faculty as well as the motto follow-up is everything. President purchases bronze lion statues for House Courtesy photo President James Evans and his wife, Lois, pose in front of their recently purchased lion. By Abby Buckles Smith President James Evans and his wife returned from vacation in Las Vegas last July after purchasing two large adornments for the new House, scheduled for completion by the first week of December. Evans and his wife, Lois, spotted the two mirror-image bronze lions in an art shop at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino. Evans said they decided to buy them as a gift to the university because the lions would be a nice addition to the House. We think the lions will be a permanent enhancement of the beauty of the house. Since they re bronze, they should last hundreds of years, probably longer than the house. They serve as superb symbols of our intercollegiate athletic teams, Evans The two bronze sculptures, standing about 5 feet tall, were transported by truck and sit on either side of the house s entrance. The 10 room house, in the northwest corner of campus near the Lou Brock Sports Complex, will replace the old president s house next to the Memorial Arts Building near the entrance to the university. Students can t park in areas they re not supposed to be in. Kurt Smith Director of Public Safety and Security Evans said the old house, which was built in the 1940s, was showing its age, so the Board of Directors decided to build a new one. It will be a beautiful addition to this historic campus, Evans The house is set up to be a gathering place and reception area. It will also be a place for student organizations and VIP groups. The $3 million home, which Evans and his wife will live in once construction is complete, was paid for through general revenue from s reserve. Please see Lions, Page 8

Page 2 ISO provides culture bridge for students News Sept. 22, 2010 By Tamara Freitas The International Student Organization (ISO) is a club designed to contribute to the global socialization on campus. s ISO was initiated as a small-scaled affiliation in 1990, focusing on the welfare of international students. The organization s purpose is to promote interaction between students from different countries, emphasizing the components of their nation, culture and traditions. The club is a student-based organization sponsored by professors Ray Scupin and Ryan Guffey, in addition to the student officers. The organization provides weekly meetings in which the executive board, along with the club members, plan different activities for the school year. According to Samuel Hou, ISO president, trips to Walmart, the St. Louis Zoo, the Arch and visits to various religious temples are examples of the events the club encourages students to engage in. In addition, the club organizes the International Festival, an event also open to the surrounding community. The event happens in the spring time, and it is a compilation of about 15 to 20 groups invited to perform, bring their cuisines and show some interesting aspects of their country. The financial support or club monies from the institution come from participations in the Student Government Association meetings and fund raisers during the year. The club members have also volunteered in other festivals in order to collect additional funds. Scupin, director of the international and global studies, said, It is a rare opportunity to learn about other cultures from resources other than television or reading. I want to encourage students to join the ISO. It is a great opportunity for students to enrich their lives by interacting with one another on various projects and learning from one another to help develop a global awareness and perspective, Scupin A global perspective is a fundamental requirement for all of our students today as we experience a very multicultural world. Weekly meetings are held on Thursdays in Room 3115 in the Spellmann Center.

At age 35 he was teaching physics and coaching a losing high school baseball team. But he told his team that if they won districts, he would try out for the big leagues as he had done in his 20s. His team won, so he stuck to his word. Morris hadn t played baseball in years and had endured nine surgeries on his arm. Despite that and people saying that he couldn t make it, he threw 12 pitches at 98 mph and was signed to a contract.

He told the audience that no matter who you are or what you have been through, you can achieve anything. He said his story wasn t about finally being in the big leagues, but going after what he wanted no matter what. Morris said he realized that what he had been teaching his players was something that he wasn t applying to his own life. Now he uses his experience to motivate and inspire others.

Sept. 22, 2010 Student spirit group makes for good times, easy grades One of the more difficult tasks a student encounters during their college career is being able to keep a full course load without being overly burdened with schoolwork. Luckily, has just the answer. The LU Crew is an elective course that allows students to receive one activities credit hour for going to sporting events and cheering. I n d e e d, there is a class in which the c u r r i c u l u m pertains to being a fan of your school s sports teams. The grading system for the course is mostly based upon attendance, but don t think that showing up is the only requirement. In addition to the 10 games students must show up for, participation is highly encouraged. It is at this time of participation when students enrolled in the class show their spirit and the organized cheers they learned in the class meeting time that week. Besides receiving class credit for LU Crew, students also get spirit favors such as T-shirts and poms to wear and wave at the games. For years, students have joked around about taking classes such as Underwater Basket Weaving 101 or Backwards Pogo Sticking as ways to get credits for college, but the LU Crew might take the cake. There are few things that I can think of that are easier Sleeping in and Chris Bennett Current Events Corner What are doing with your time off for faculty work day? catching up on homework Stephen Schmidt, junior I m going to finish up my Senior Exhibition pieces LaRhonda Moore, senior than showing up to a sporting event and cheering for the home team. As jokingly easy the LU Crew appears to be, I do believe there is some merit to the class. LU Crew advisor/instructor Kerry Cox said that the class promotes organization and teaches students to get involved and I would have to agree. There are probably quite a few students who get into LU Crew who might not join a group if it wasn t for the college credit that end up joining more student groups. Furthermore, with moving to NCAA Division II soon, this may help create a tradition of school spirit that is vital to the well being of NCAA universities. I ve been at a D-II school that didn t have much spirit or tradition and even though the sports teams did well, attendance was low because students just didn t care. It made for boring weekends and a stagnant student population. Maybe an LU Crew would have helped that school? It s not easy fostering student spirit at smaller university s. Lots of students tend to leave for the weekend and aren t around for the opportunity to attend events. So if you re looking for an easy credit hour, consider this a viable option. It s the best of both worlds; help your G.P.A. and your athletic teams. Catching up on work Bobby Parker, sophomore I will be staying in to get some work done for my sewing classes Erika M. Reed, grad student Editorial Parking tickets a necessary evil Hang tags and little parking stickers are how our cars are identified at schools. If you don t have a parking sticker on the back of your vehicle or you re parked in the wrong lot, look out for security because they are coming to give you a ticket. Now don t get me wrong, I understand there are reasons for parking stickers but school just started. I know that there was a check-in booklet that told students what they needed to do within the first days of school, but what if a student was late getting in and never received that little booklet? Warnings should be given for the first offense, rather than a ticket; warnings could come in handy on numerous accounts. For example, if a returning student has always parked in the same lot for three years and LU changes the lot to be for commuters and adjunct staff only, should the student get a ticket for not knowing? Now I am sure the commuters need a place to park their cars, too, but it still isn t fair to the residents that accidentally parked there to get a ticket for not getting the memo about the change. Just recently I experienced getting a ticket from security for that exact reason. In my opinion, even if one has a resident sticker on the back of their car but are technically not living on campus in any way, shape or form, then to me they are still commuters. I was parking in the commuter lot because up until after receiving my ticket, I was a commuter in my mind. H o w e v e r, because I am f i n a n c i a l l y packaged as a resident, I now have a $25 ticket to pay. Security is going a little Lauren Skinner over board with the tickets right now. It really is only a month into school, and students are still finding out new things about campus. Apparently warnings were given the first week, but I didn t receive a warning. So instead of giving us a ticket, boot, then huge fines we should all get a warning our first offense. Whether it s the first week or the last week, why don t you all just cut us some slack right now and start things off with a warning.

The premiere of the Film Series on September 10 was fresh and entertaining. The series opened with a Living in the 60s theme and included movies such as Easy Rider, Woodstock and Dr. No. This weekend s showing consists of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Shakespeare in Love, and, one of my favorites, The White Ribbon. That was what this was originally based on, said graduate assistant Rachel Miller, adding that each movie they watched in Dr. Brown s Philosophy class had a theme with discussion following. David Brown and Peter Carlos, philosophy professor and LUTV manager respectively, proposed this idea to President James Evans. With help from their graduate assistants and various groups under the Student Government Association (LSGA), the series debut was a success. Page 3 Letter to the Editor On Sunday, Sept.12, about 3,000 people gathered under the St. Louis Arch for a Tea Party Rally. Fellow student Zach White and I ventured down with a camera to get interviews. Their message was clear: they are sick and tired of bulk spending by the government and they believe it s time for a change. Take back America from this treasonous communist gangster dictator regime! and Say no to Socialism! were a couple of the hundreds of signs they carried. Sharron Travis traveled from Birmingham, Ala., to visit her brother and bring him to his first Tea Party. It is my hope and prayer that in November enough people will be alert, awake and aware enough to vote out every single Democrat up for election, she LU film series boasts award winners, classics and foreign movies Adrian One Tea Bagger, who said she wouldn t reveal her name for fear of the government, said, We have a dictatorship going on right now, and the American people are finally awakening to realize that. We found no interviews with anyone opposing the Tea Party views. When we tried we were called Anti- American and Tea Party staff followed us to make sure we didn t get interviews. They did not want the other side of the story told, even if it meant denying us freedom of the press. But if I believed that President Obama is a Marxist Muslim dedicated to turning America into a Communist state, I d be a little embarrassed and worried for other people to hear the opposing side s views, too. Michael Gualdoni, sophomore Support also comes from faculty and administration such as John Oldani, Donnell Walsh and Peter White, who make up part of the panel. Since admission is free for LU students and staff, and general admission is only $5, any spare change is enough to get you and your date a snack from the concession stand. Different clubs under the LSGA take turns to man the stands, and any profits from the stand support the clubs and the series. The theater in Young Au d i t o r i u m boasts an 11X15 feet screen, excellent surround sound and seating capacity of at least 100. Brown was pleased that this activity would bring to light the renovations to the theater. For the first time, a B.A. in Film will be taught in a real theater, Brown With future plans to renovate the theater, support of the ongoing event would bring awareness and appreciation to the facility. Students and faculty are encouraged to vote for next semester s movies, as well as join a group on Facebook that pertains to the film series.

Page 4 Entertainment Sept. 22, 2010 Scottish & Farfray by Wes Murrell Paramore lights up Civic tour He Said/She Said What fall entertainment are you looking forward to? By Chris Bennett The rapid approach of autumn can only mean one thing; the release of a multitude of movies, television programs, CD s and books and a plethora of fall previews from various media outlets. Well, we here at the Legacy aren t any better than those other media outlets, though we try our best. With that being said, here s a look at three upcoming media manifestations that I am excited to consume in the next few weeks Film Ben Affleck catches a lot of flak from movie goers and the public in general. Maybe it has something to do with him starring in Gigli, a film so bad that people who haven t even seen it often list it as one of the worst films ever made. But for all the bad projects Affleck has been a part of, he has proven to be more than capable behind the camera, whether it be writing or directing. Affleck co-wrote one of my favorite films, Good Will Hunting and wrote and directed Gone Baby Gone, a film with a strong plot as well as a clear directorial vision. It s because of these reasons I m looking forward to the film The Town. Big Ben wrote and directed this film about a bank robber who falls for a girl that his gang holds hostage during a heist. But, for better or for worse, Affleck is also the leading role in the film. In hopes that his writing and directing outweigh his acting, I think that The Town will be a film to look forward to, especially for college students looking for a film that presents some interesting social dialogue yet still has enough action to engross the viewer. Television For NBC and The Office fans, a sad day is approaching. Steve Carrell, who plays the character of Michael Scott on the aforementioned show, announced that he would be leaving the show when his contract expires at the end of the current production. This will likely mean the demise of The Office, but will also make room for an up and coming show to take its place and I think Outsourced will be that show. Based on an indie flick with the same title, Outsourced is about an American who moves to Mumbai, India to manage an order processing call center for a company located in the States. Cultures clash, people fall in love, and hilarity ensues. Chances are that the show won t be as good as the The Office but the overarching plot seems strong enough to give Outsourced some staying power as well as provide some good laughs. Outsourced starts tomorrow. Music On Oct. 12, Sufjan Stevens will release his new album The Age of Adz. For those of you not familiar with Stevens, he is a musician who has started what he calls The 50 States Project. Stevens researches the history and stories of states and then writes and composes songs about the states. So far, Stevens has written albums about Michigan and Illinois and is expected to be releasing another state album soon. But until that happens, fans of Steven s music can take solstice in the upcoming The Age of Adz record. It has been reported that the record is much more electric than Stevens previous albums and is free from conceptualization like the States Project. Stevens has proven to be one of the more consistent artists in the eight or so years and The Age of Adz should be another strong showing from this electric and original musician. By Holly Hoechstenbach As much as I long for my bronzed tan, pool parties and county fairs, I look forward to the new entertainment this fall. One TV show I look forward to on The CW is Gossip Girl. Yes, I said it, Gossip Girl. Although I m not normally a fan of drama/clique shows, Gossip Girl s array of distinctive fashion, eye-catching actors and captivating scenery of New York intrigue me. Aired on Sept. 13, Gossip Girl is back as season four launches in Paris, the beautiful City of Lights. Season three wrapped up with the notorious, hot hunk Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) bleeding on the streets from a fatal gunshot, Serena (Blake Lively) and Blair (Leighton Meester) heading off to rejuvenate in Paris, Nate (Chance Crawford) finding his inner playboy and Dan (Pen Badgley) discovering he might be a father. Even those who hate gossip and the modern teenage clique will enjoy this show. Their scandalous lives draw you in. With season three never having a dull moment, leaving viewers craving more, I can only imagine what season four will bring. A must-see movie of terror and agony releases right before Halloween. On Oct. 29, the endless, twisted mind games and torture is back as SAW 3D, directed by Kevin Greutert appears in theatres, this time in 3D. The film features the characters Jigsaw (Tobin Bell), Mark (Costas Mandylor), Jill (Betsy Russell), Dr. Gordon (Cary Elwes), and Bobby Dagen (Sean Patrick Flanery). Although SAW 3D can be a bit brutal and stomach churning, the 3D traps coming to life inches in front of you makes me want to see what the anticipation is all about. As the previous survivors and other characters struggle to stay alive and reach the end of the deadly battle, I am excited to see the games come alive in 3D. Another sure-to-be fall hit in the music industry is Kenny Chesney s new album Hemingway s Whiskey which hits stores Sept. 28. Whether or not you re a fan of country music, Kenny s songs offer a fun, chill vibe. By Diane Kenley Contributing Writer Receiving rave reviews from both Rolling Stone and SPIN magazines, the Honda Civic Tour continues to draw huge crowds to U.S. arenas until Sept. 19. Joining punk-rock headliner Paramore this summer are Canadian indie favorite Tegan and Sara, the tour s veteran New Found Glory and intriguing newcomer Kadawatha. After rocking Vans Warped Tour for 3 years, Paramore gained mainstream popularity when their powerful song Decode made the Twilight soundtrack in 2008, according to paramore.net. The quintet delivered an explosive set featuring favorites from all three albums, heavy on content from 2009 release Brand New Eyes. Giant video screens hung above the stage and enhanced the perf o r m a n c e as each z o o m e d in on a member or flashed band a r t w o r k. Later, each displayed a short film fol l ow i n g one member through hilarious antics. These coupled with impressive lighting and sparks were evidence of the perks a sponsor like Honda can provide. The result? A real stadium rock show. Lead singer and writer Hayley Williams, 21, introduced by guitarist and co-writer Josh Farro, 22, as the pintsized vocal powerhouse of Paramore, was just featured on the cover of SPIN in July, complete with famous shocking-red locks. The newest member and co-writer, Taylor York, 20, also sports a guitar onstage, while Jeremy Davis, 25, soars on bass. Zac Farro, 20, the youngest at just 14 when the band formed in Franklin, TN, rounds out the group on drums according to spin.com. As a whole, Paramore can be described simply as enthusiastic, fun and appreciative of their fans. They feverishly leapt about and even invited one lucky fan onstage to sing along. All around, the show was a jump-up-anddown, sing-your-heart-out As a whole, Paramore can be described simply as enthusiastic, fun and appreciative of their fans. experience. With their signature lighthearted banter, no one would guess that alternative band Tegan and Sara haven t opened for someone in years. Their ten year indie catalog includes mainly poprock, but dabbles in unusual melodies and arrangements stretching from electro dance jams to acoustic ballads. The twin sisters Tegan and Sara Quin, 29, have a loyal backing band and indie fan base. Walking with a Ghost is probably their most recognized work to date which gained mainstream radio play in 2005 and, as stated on teganandsara.com, was even covered by The White Stripes. Although Sara says they re not a political band, they are strong advocates for gay rights. Both are lesbians from Canada, who s had same-sex marriage rights since 2005, according to mapleleafweb. com. If their opener skills were rusty, the crowd didn t mind and welc o m e d Tegan and Sara warmly. Their set was r e f r e s h - ing, since it wasn t quite as hard rock as the others, said Brianna Owen, 27, a Springfield, Mo. native who saw the Cincinnati, Oh. show on August 19. The songs were catchy and something different. New Found Glory returns to the tour, having also participated in 2003, as stated on civictour.honda.com. Their addictive energy and humorous quips added to the upbeat atmosphere created by their familiar sound. Lead singer Jordin Pundik, 30, even mingled with the crowd during songs. This U.S. tour marks the first for Kadawatha, a Swedish band whose moniker is the last name of passionate lead singer, Daniel, 23, originally from Sri Lanka. After seeing them perform in Europe, Paramore was impressed enough to ask them out on tour, according to civictour.honda.com. The band clad matching outfits mixing black with bright colors, escalating the dramatics of the unique rock set.

Staback finished the game with three touchdowns. The Lions went on to win the game by a score of 45-27. Lions beat eighth-ranked Missouri Valley By Alex Jahncke Sports Editor On Saturday night the Lions football team continued their winning ways, beating the No. 8 ranked Missouri Valley Vikings 45-27. This proved to be the toughest test so far this season, coming off a 69-7 win over Central Methodist. The Lions took the opening kickoff and made a statement quickly. It only took three plays for quarterback Phillip Staback to connect with Jamere Holland for a 58-yard touchdown pass. We always want to score on the first possession of each half, senior receiver Matt Bramow That gets things rolling. Football is just easier if you score on your first drive. The Vikings answered quickly, marching down the field and scoring on a 14-yard rush less than two minutes later. At that point, it looked as if it were going to be a high-scoring affair.

Last season the team finished with a respectable 9-91 record. While they were 6-2 at home, they had a record of 3-7-1 on the road. This was a disappointing finish for a team that had returned many of its top players. This year is a new start. The team is backed by returning senior Lindsay Shea, who was the leading scorer last year with 12 goals in 19 games. The real key for this season will be the play of new starting goaltender Whitney Calvin, who did not appear in single game last season. So far, Calvin has fared well, with a 1.71 goals against average. One major question heading into the season was: who would provide a legitimate scoring threat besides Lindsey Shea? Four games into the season, three players have scored multiple goals (Kayla Thomas, Paige Hickey, and Bailey Cody). While their 2-2 record to start this season might not seem like much, the team seems to have improved over a year ago. Their 4-0 win against Southern Nazarene was nothing short of dominant in which they allowed one shot on goal. The Lady Lions hope to build on this victory. They will open up conference play against MidAmerica Nazarene University on Sept. 25. This will be a huge game for the team because they want to make a statement early. not enough. The big story for the Lions in the game was penalties. They were penalized 17 times, which cost them 165 yards. Most came in the first half, with 12 for 120 yards, but the Lions cleaned up their game in the second half. In the first couple games I think we played real polished football without the penalties, Head Coach Patrick Ross This week it was an intense football game. They [the officials] wanted to call the cleanest game possible. Unfortunately, especially in the first half, we were on the opposite side of some of those calls. Nothing was cheap. If we get those from playing hard and playing physical, we can live with them, but if they are cheap then we will deal with them. Next week the Lions will again face a top-ten team in No. 6 ranked MidAmerica Nazarene. Last year the Lions beat them 55-14. I told the players to enjoy this for about 30 seconds because it s time for number six, Ross We have to go there, and they have a great football team. It is definitely time to focus on MidAmerica. As I sat and watched the Lions football game from the hot and stuffy press box this past Saturday, I saw a team that has everything. They have four running backs that can take it to the house on any given carry. They have a quarterback in Phillip Staback who is not Alex Jahncke afraid to get in the action Sports Editor after the ball is out of his hands. There are countless plenty of time to find an receivers that have hands of open receiver.

Sports Page 6 Sept. 22, 2010 Victory over No. 1 punctuates early success By Micah Woodard Editor-In-Chief The LU men s soccer team was firmly evaluated early, facing three traditionally nationally ranked teams consecutively to begin the season. And they passed the test with two victories, including a defeat of top-ranked Lindsey Wilson College, last year s NAIA champion and preseason No. 1 team. Head Coach Carl Hutter said early match-ups against the nation s elite affords the team an honest examination of their skills and prepares them for conference play. If you look at the players perspective, and you re a competitive athlete, you want to play the best teams possible, he On Sept. 5, kicked off the year with an overtime thriller. After a 90-minute defensive struggle, the Lions defeated Lee University on a golden goal by senior midfielder Hannes Backstrom. Hutter said the momentum from that game carried over to the Lindsey Wilson contest the next night. We used that, he We told them, Congratulations. Feel good about [the win], but let s try and have Photo courtesy of Don Adams Jr. Sophomore goalkeeper Victor Francoz saves a shot taken by No. 1 ranked Lindsey Wilson College, who the Lions upset 2-1 at home on Sept. 6. that feeling again tomorrow. And the emotion would come again. With strong possession play, solid transitions and a little luck, the Lions grabbed the 2-1 upset over Lindsey Wilson. Hutter said his team made plenty of mistakes during the two games, but their preseason work ethic and overall fitness contributed heavily to their success. Sometimes you make luck because of hard work, he Even though we could ve easily lost those games, we found a way to win. And that s a strong character of our team that we ve starting to notice. Hutter said that although Lindsey Wilson is a champion squad that he respects, the team approached the game like any other early season contest. We didn t really build it up as we re playing this big monster. It was mainly more about gaining momentum, so we were happy, he But quite frankly, if we d played the Missouri School of the Blind, we d have been happy too. Because a win is a win. However, couldn t complete the threegame sweep, falling 2-1 on the road to Park University on Sept. 8. Despite the loss, Hutter said he admired the mentality of the team, which attacked vehemently through the last minute of the game. I was really proud of how they played, he We just turned it into another experience and another opportunity to learn. Hutter said that although his squad has a lot of room to grow, he is pleased with the first half of the season. So far, so good, he But our expectations are very high because they re talented. We ve got a good core group of people. The 6-1 Lions face off against Columbia College tonight in Columbia, Mo.

All of the ladies are returning. Sophomore Adela Slovakova from the Czech Republic will be the number one player.

The blood drive, sponsored by the American Humanic Student Election Continued from Page 1 and a lack of application for candidacy, the election was pushed back to this week. As of Sept. 8, only five students applied for the senate, Swisher But by Friday, Sept. 17, the count of applicants was 15. Cox attributes the lack of applicants to problems with getting the word out about the election.

In the meantime, Swisher said that there will be other ways students can find out about the election and the candidates before they vote. We will have posters going up with pictures of the candidates on them around campus after the submission process is complete, Swisher T h e website calendar also has the LSGA senate elections as an event, where students can click on the link to find out more about the election.
