It wasn’t a ‘snowpocalypse,’ but Lipscomb students still celebrated Monday’s snow day. Predictions for large snow accumulations in Nashville overnight didn’t come true, but a steady freezing rain — that heavily covered the sidewalks of campus — caused Monday’s day and night classes to be canceled. “On a snow day ignore all alarms, skip breakfast and stay in bed as long as possible,” sophomore Charles Smith said. Ignoring alarms and sleeping in was the best option for some students, but for Lipscomb’s early risers, breakfast and studying was not to be substituted. “I will be spending my snow day mostly doing homework and catching up on reading what I need to be doing for class,” senior Jordan Taylor said. Senior Gracey Aguirre said she also wanted to spend some of her day studying. “I am currently studying for the three tests I have this week,” Aguirre said. “I am taking advantage of an extra full day. Later, I hope to go sledding down a slope somewhere” And some students did just that – crowds gathered by the soccer field to sled during the early afternoon. “We’re going to go to the soccer hill and sled and just have fun,” freshman Logan Paynter said. “Hopefully, if it turns into real snow instead of ice, we’ll probably go to Capitol Hill.” Paynter’s wish came true around 2 p.m., when light snow began falling on campus, and students didn’t have to travel Nashville’s treacherous roadways to get downtown for sledding on Capitol Hill. For junior Chucky Vazquez, the light snow was a little too much. “Well I’m from Florida and I love...

The cast and crew of “Stop”, one of the three segments in the 51st installment of Singarama, have been working together almost every day and night for over a month. With only a few days remaining until one of the biggest events on Lipscomb’s campus, the members of “Stop” are anxiously awaiting opening night. The overall theme of Singarama this year is “Singarama’s On Fire” and the individual segments of the show are titled “Stop,” “Drop” and “Roll.” The first of the three shows, “Stop,” will be put on by Delta Omega, Delta Xi, Phi Nu, Sigma Omega Sigma, Theta Psi and friends. “Stop” revolves around Rick and Louis, two crossing guards, who encounter an unexpected theft while on their morning shift. The theft causes the two guards to embark on a twist-filled mission for justice and love. “Throughout the story, they are going from place to place and finding different clues, trying to figure out who stole from the jewelry store,” show director Makenzie Kanyuh said. Kanyuh has participated in Singarama all three years that she has been at Lipscomb, but this is the first time she has held the position of director, a position that she says has both its perks and problems. “I’m just really excited to see it all come together,” Kanyuh said. “As director, it’s so much fun, but it’s really stressful to see it all piece-by-piece and have some holes still in it as you’re a week away. There are always holes when you’re a week away. That’s just the nature of it. Seeing it all come together is what I’m most looking forward to.” Rick and Louis,...
