Flagler making room for big class on campus

By Tiffanie Reynolds | gargoyle@flagler.edu

On registration day, Heather Cribbs logged onto myflagler to find that the class she needed to take was no longer listed. It’s a scenario that has happened more than usual this semester, from seniors to freshmen finding more classes full or taken out all together.

“If you can’t get into it or your classes coincide, then you kinda have to choose your battle,” said Cribbs, a junior theater arts major.

Junior Johanna Falzone, a fine arts major, also had the same problem. The lack of class choice not only made it difficult to schedule her classes, but also made her feel under-appreciated as an upperclassman.

By Angela Daidone | gargoyle@flagler.edu

If searching for a balance between school and social life, look no further than Flagler Team Trivia.

“For one, I think it’s a lot of fun and a break from studying. On the flip side you are still learning something,” Kristin Nelson, director of student activities, said.

Trivia night takes place Wednesday evenings from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Bugg’s Bistro. Questions vary from history to lost lyrics to pop culture.


Flagler students speak out about communication building

By Kayla Ward | gargoyle@flagler.edu

For Flagler College junior Autumn Roth, the communication building is just not suitable for the hands-on learning of communication majors.

“I’m always in that building and it’s just so small and rundown,” Roth said.

The old building is home to Flagler’s radio station, WFCF, and has one classroom, a few faculty offices and a small television production room. The television production room doubles as a classroom but due to the lack of space, there are no desks.
