Diversity dilemma: Lack of diversity self-perpetuating and tough to beat

By Glenn Judah

Jim Roche, a political science major, feels certain opinions were missing from a class discussion on Martin Luther King, Jr. and Ghandi this semester because his classmates were all white.

Roche is not the only Flagler student who has experienced this. Last year the Princeton Review ranked Flagler as “most homogeneous.” This year Flagler didn’t make that list, but the college’s demographics haven’t changed much.

In 1964, Janie Price hosted Martin Luther King, Jr. in her Lincolnville home.

By Danielle Marsh

Lincolnville resident Janie Price remembers a lot about the civil rights struggle in St. Augustine.

“I had my car flipped over,” Price, 80, said. She says it was done out of spite because she was a participant in several sit-ins and marches here in St. Augustine. Price responded to this act by telling others that she was, “going to ride all over town and let them see it to let them know they didn’t frighten me.”

(Un)Lucky


By Ryan Brower

As I walked off the plane into the Miami Airport I turned my cell phone on for the first time in a week. Seven voicemails, not really surprised. The first one is from mom, wishing us (for the billionth time) a good trip. As I begin to delete it I am overcome with a strong desire to travel right back to Panama and never return.

Year of the sequel

Graphic by Ashley Sadeghy

By Ashley Emert

If there were a movie zodiac in the same style of the Chinese zodiac, then 2007 would have to be the year of the sequel. Beginning in March with the release of The Hills Have Eyes 2, a number of sequels are going to be released in theaters over the next several months.

While there are some sequels coming out this year that might make one wonder, “Wasn’t the first one enough?” (namely Alien vs. Predator 2, slated for release in August), there are also some long-awaited films making their return. Among these are the third (and, presumably, final) installments of the Spider-Man, Pirates of the Caribbean and Shrek series (all set for release in May). The fifth Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, will be released in July.
