With 400 graduates, could the largest class force a
By Danielle Marsh & Haley M. Walker | dmarsh1@flagler.edu
Flagler College senior Julie Harvey, said she is disappointed she cannot share the moment that she will walk across the stage to receive her college degree with her entire family.
“I mean wouldn’t you want all the people who have loved and supported you through your career as a student to see you succeed?” Harvey said.
She said she is disappointed and upset about the lack of graduation tickets given out for this upcoming spring graduation, which is including around 400 graduates.
Harvey said that she feels there must be a better solution to this problem. She said she would like to see the graduation be held at a different location so that everyone can enjoy the celebration together.
“It’s silly attempting to fit everyone into a small venue, particularly when this graduating class is one of the larger classes to pass through Flagler,” Harvey said. “The most obvious solution would be to hold the ceremony somewhere else that would be more conducive, and definitely more comfortable, for the amount of people that are anticipated.”

Comment on this post Shelter Advocacy and Me

She was standing with a positive pregnancy test in her hand. Tears rolled down her cheeks as her eyes met mine, and she broke down. I glanced around for the other shelter advocate working that morning. Before I could get her attention Meredith* threw her arms around me and collapsed into my arms.
It was my third week of working at a domestic violence shelter and I was not ready for this. How can one prepare for this? The training I was put through had prepared me with safety planning skills, focusing and empathetic statements and a book full of community resources. The training had not given me, however, the response to, “I can’t have this evil man’s baby. What do I do?”

Living in the public eye by choice
By Haley M. Walker | gargoyle@flagler.edu
At one point our lives behind closed doors, were just that: behind closed doors, where no one could see what our favorite television show was or an embarrassing ritual that we had to perform before going to bed.
However, all that has changed, and we have become a society of intrigued watchdogs. Through increased communication technology, we have learned to not only closely watch the lives of others, but to record the detailed lives of ourselves as well.
Why is it that we have become so consumed with making information that was once so personal so incredibly public?

Saints claw their way back to .500
Midseason surge helps team leave tough start in the past
By Devon Jeffreys | djeffreys@flagler.edu
A 10-game losing streak that stretched across 20 days in February would have knocked many teams down but for the Flagler baseball team, it served as motivation.
Now, with just ten games left in the 2008 season, the Saints sit at 22-17, seemingly headed toward an above .500 finish.
“When we were 3-10, I did not expect us to win 21 games all season, that was a shocker,” third baseman Joey Rivera said. “Pretty much we all just do our part and it helps.”

Holla Back At Chu
In recent months, my life has had many changes.
The first would notably be that I have given birth to my son. I actually dislike the phrase “give birth.” It sounds awfully graphic to me. And don’t worry, I will not tell you about the actual process, except that it’s long, tiring and that if an epidural is administered correctly and long enough, you will not have to feel a thing! I also have had the pleasure of having sleepless nights, getting peed on, pooped on and projectile-vomited on from a little (now 14-pound) scooter.

CD Review: R.E.M.
Accelerate

What do R.E.M. and breathing have in common?
There is nothing like a good beat, perfectly-woven melodies, and meaningful lyrics to prepare me to take on a 12-page paper or a particularly dull five-hour shift at a job a 3-year-old could do.

Well, not exactly.
