The Flagler College chapter of the Society for Advancement of Management (SAM) set new records this week when it won its seventh Management Case Competition national title – more than any other college or university – at the SAM Student International Business Conference in Las Vegas.

No other SAM teams have won more than three of these awards. Flagler’s SAM chapter also landed several other honors, including its sixth Campus Chapter Performance Program national title, which recognizes the best SAM chapter in the country.

Time travel is dead

So, today marks the end of an era. Back to the Future is no longer cool. (Jumpin’ Jigowatts!)

At least that’s what the folks at Universal Studios think. Today is the final day of Back to the Future, The Ride at Universal Studios – Orlando. Rumor is they’re shutting it down to make room for a Simpsons ride (Transformers has also been thrown around). But it doesn’t soften the blow at all.

Granted, the movie is now more than 20 years old and most Flagler College students weren’t even born when Marty McFly first went back in time on a botched time travel experiment and ended up making out with his mom and turning his dad from a hopeless geek into a Biff-pounding hero.

New heated wetsuits strong enough for Icelandic waters


By William Little

Beginning in October, Rip Curl Wetsuits will begin the sales of the first ever heated wetsuits.

Rip Curl’s new wetsuit, the H-Bomb, offers the freedom and flexibility of previous wetsuit models, but also included are heated coils throughout the back that give heat to the surfer long before the wetsuit itself warms the water inside.

SGA president, treasurer still undecided

Run-off scheduled for March 29

By Danielle Marsh

The SGA elections have come to a close with a twist: ties for the positions of president and treasurer.

One of the candidates for treasurer, Alana Cadiz, said she “expected something like this to happen” because it would have “been hard for one of the four candidates to win a majority of the votes.”

However, for the positions of vice president and secretary, Kaitlyn Mairs and Chris Lauth won the majority of the votes and will be filling their positions this coming year.

SGA elections preview


By Danielle Marsh

Student Government elections are this week on Monday and Tuesday. And if you haven’t noticed, it is the first time that the college has had more than one candidate running for each office.

As the candidates try to gain attention, they will stop at nothing. Whether it is offering smoothies, hotdogs or brownies, each party has offered something new. Even though the candidates are all trying new ways to get the public’s vote, it will not be of much help if they are unable to live up to the standards and goals they have set for themselves.

CD Review: Relient K

Five Score and Seven Years Ago

By Ashley Emert

To look at a couple of the song titles on Relient K’s newest release, you might think that they’d slipped into the emo trend of music that many bands are adopting.

Titles like “Faking My Own Suicide” and “Deathbed” had me flipping through the CD booklet for any pictures that might show signs of tear-shaped black eyeliner. Thankfully enough, there was no eye makeup to be found.

It’s safe to say that their sound has definitely changed since they were donning their khaki pants for the “Sadie Hawkins Dance,” a song off of their second album.

CD Review: Consequence

Don’t Quit Your Day Job

By Jennifer Ware

Consequence’s new album Don’t Quit Your Day Job is a solid accomplishment with creative lyrics and a good sound.

Those who aren’t even big fans of rap and hip-hop can still appreciate Consequence and will appreciate the intricacy of his words and the composition of his beats. Don’t Quit Your Day Job can make any listener want to bounce to the beat and smile.

CD Review: Finger Eleven

Them vs. You vs. Me

By Bill Weedmark

This album is a good example of what happens when a band tries too hard to make a whole album sound like their last hit single.

After the huge success that “One Thing” enjoyed, the band insisted on their official Web site that they wouldn’t be “selling-out” and trying to make an entire album that would sound like “One Thing.” I don’t know what album they were talking about, because that’s exactly what they did.

The first single from Them vs. You vs. Me is different from anything these guys have ever done before, but I enjoyed it. It will get a lot of play in clubs and bars, and it has a very feel-good, danceable sound to it. It’s also the first track on the album, and it’s only downhill from there.
