I’ve paid attention, taken notes, re-read material, but I always find the texts difficult to grasp. I'm not alone.

Nor are they always followed through to the end. But for Elijah Hayes, backup point guard for the Flagler Saints, his first resolution is already coming to a successful close. Hayes’ aim was to abstain from meat, dairy, refined sugar, starches and flour for 21 days. No easy task when he had practice six days a week and played 1 to 3 games a week. But Hayes said it was worth it. ]]> http://gargoyle.flagler.edu/2012/01/athlete-endures-religious-fast-to-grow-in-spirit-and-discipline/feed/ 3 http://gargoyle.flagler.edu/2012/01/mens-basketball-trying-to-stay-positive-during-losing-streak/ http://gargoyle.flagler.edu/2012/01/mens-basketball-trying-to-stay-positive-during-losing-streak/#comments Fri, 27 Jan 2012 03:51:02 +0000 Gargoyle Staff http://gargoyle.flagler.edu/?p=18659 By Mari Pothier | gargoyle@flagler.edu Photo by Dyann Busse Taking one game at a time and looking to the future is how head coach Bo Clark is keeping morale up among his players.

Sometimes I get the fear when I walk into a grocery store, such a deep fear from within, that I want to run back to my car, as if someone is chasing me with a blunt object. It’s not about the sensory overload I experience when my eyes finally adjust to all the artificial lights and I observe consumers scrambling through the aisles, looking for sales, just waiting for the exchange of currency for nutrients. It’s not about budgeting, since I now live with my boyfriend and our combined income makes good food easier to afford. The fact is: I can’t buy bagels without staring intently at the back of the package, looking for chemicals and preservatives. I can always locate xantham gum and high fructose corn syrup—oftentimes a combination of both—especially in food marked “All Natural” and “No Preservatives.” So I find myself putting products back on the crammed shelves, hunting for something not just certifiably organic, but really organic. ]]> http://gargoyle.flagler.edu/2012/01/local-produce-serves-health-with-authenticity/feed/ 1 http://gargoyle.flagler.edu/2012/01/sga-announcements/ http://gargoyle.flagler.edu/2012/01/sga-announcements/#comments Fri, 27 Jan 2012 02:47:39 +0000 Gargoyle Staff http://gargoyle.flagler.edu/?p=18728 By Joshua Santos | gargoyle@flagler.edu The Student Government Association meets every Tuesday at 9 PM in the Koger-Gamache Theater in the Ringhaver Student Center.

But, it's not because they want to, it's because they will be required. The co-curricular requirement is the latest proposal of the academic strategic plan to be evaluated and voted on by the faculty senate. In the last meeting, which occurred on Jan. 11, the senate voted for it to be considered in this year's institution budget. A committee still needs to be formed to work out details of this proposal, but, when passed, it will require incoming freshmen to attend a certain number of campus events in order to graduate. ]]> http://gargoyle.flagler.edu/2012/01/proposal-requiring-attendance-at-campus-events-in-the-works/feed/ 1 http://gargoyle.flagler.edu/2012/01/the-job-market-sucks-and-apparently-so-do-i/ http://gargoyle.flagler.edu/2012/01/the-job-market-sucks-and-apparently-so-do-i/#comments Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:21:39 +0000 Gargoyle Staff http://gargoyle.flagler.edu/?p=18722 By Josh Santos | gargoyle@flagler.edu Winter break is a time for students to relax from the hectic school year — to visit their families and work. But I wasn't able to accomplish any of these this break and especially not the work part. Instead, I spent this past Christmas in a home that was rotting from the inside out, 300 hundred miles away from my family, all while searching for a job to support myself. My first mistake was assuming it would be easy. ]]> http://gargoyle.flagler.edu/2012/01/the-job-market-sucks-and-apparently-so-do-i/feed/ 1 http://gargoyle.flagler.edu/2012/01/happy-as-we-choose-to-be-2/ http://gargoyle.flagler.edu/2012/01/happy-as-we-choose-to-be-2/#comments Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:04:28 +0000 Gargoyle Staff http://gargoyle.flagler.edu/?p=18719 By Sarah Williamson | gargoyle@flagler.edu The St. Augustine Film Festival brought us to our “happy” place this past weekend with a film by Roko Belic. “Happy” is an award-winning documentary that brings its audience around the world, trying to figure out the answer to what makes us humans happy. The idea for this feel good film came from director Tom Shadyac ("Bruce Almighty," "Liar, Liar"). He became interested in the science of happiness after reading an article in The New York Times about Americans being unhappy, regardless of their wealth. While sitting in his mansion somewhere outside of L.A., he got in contact with Belic and told him his idea for a documentary. What a great idea it turned out to be. ]]> http://gargoyle.flagler.edu/2012/01/happy-as-we-choose-to-be-2/feed/ 0 http://gargoyle.flagler.edu/2012/01/pro-life-march-a-success-yet-some-business-owners-still-caught-off-guard/ http://gargoyle.flagler.edu/2012/01/pro-life-march-a-success-yet-some-business-owners-still-caught-off-guard/#comments Thu, 26 Jan 2012 15:39:19 +0000 Gargoyle Staff http://gargoyle.flagler.edu/?p=18652 By {Amber James} | gargoyle@flagler.edu About 2,000 people made a stand against abortion on Saturday, walking a mile through downtown for the March for Life St Augustine.

Barbara Trost sat comfortably in her wheelchair, overlooking the countless children playing on the Mission de Nombre’s grounds and the crowd that had gathered to hear speakers talk about the pro-life movement.
