The year is quickly coming to a close, and with that comes the usual list of decisions Flagler students must make: What classes to take next semester, what to do over the summer, and who will make up next year’s Student Government Association executive board.

“Yes, Ma’am!” I said with an enthusiastic smile.
“Oh, that’s so cute,” said my professor with a bite of sarcasm, “I’m trying to break my kids of that habit.”

Flagler College is moving in a new direction. In recent years, many liberal arts colleges have introduced women’s studies programs into their curriculum, and Flagler is finally catching up. This spring, a group of students, faculty and staff organized a series of events for Women’s History Month, and rumor has it the college may implement a women’s studies minor next year — a big and important step in the college’s history.

The last election cycle was a devastating loss for the GOP and its counterparts. Undoubtedly, the GOP had a tremendous victory in the 2010 Midterm Elections, but in 2012, something was not as prevalent as before: The Tea Party.

In comparison to the colorful, tourist-dotted realm of downtown St. Augustine, Lincolnville is, in some places, dilapidated and desolate.
Here the dings of red trolleys and the clacking of horse hooves are rarely heard. Small businesses and restaurants, which are plentiful downtown, are rare. Some houses are unkempt and have fallen into disrepair.

I expected Oz: The Great and Powerful to be an entertaining prequel to the original 1939 The Wizard of Oz, but despite impressive graphics I was disappointed in the characters’ lack of, well, character.Oz (James Franco) himself is a lying, cheating and arrogant charmer. What a poor example for a child of a worthwhile suitor. It’s like saying, “Ok, kid, lying is okay if it helps you succeed, and if you make sure your pride is overflowing you can have anything.” Right. Oz is assumed to be the Wizard and takes on that role knowing that his “great and powerful” is just a flashy carnival act. I guess it all works out in the end and good wins. But good wins at what cost? Dishonesty? Faking it until making it?

Caravan of Thieves is a small band from Connecticut. The group has toured nationally, played in Australia and on television. Their mind boggling tune is the result of an odd compilation of genres like gypsy, jazz, swing, British Rock and American Blues. That’s one hell of a mix for one group of musicians to incorporate.
