Despite misconceptions, survey promotes class improvement
By Alex Bonus | gargoyle@flagler.edu
Senior Kia Miller suffered the basic college nightmare last year — a boring professor, a semester-long class and a daily reason to refuse rolling out of bed.

By Kara Duffy | gargoyle@flagler.edu
Traumatic brain injury, also know as the silent epidemic, is on the rise for children and student athletes, according to a study from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The number of student athletes diagnosed and treated for concussions have risen 60 percent between 2001 and 2009, the study said. The study was based off data from 66 hospitals that documented the amount of emergency room visits. It found that the rise in visits for a traumatic brain injury rose from 153,375 in 2001 to 248,418 in 2009.

Outside of the Virginia Room, it was a scenario that I always carried in the back of my mind but assumed would never happen. I would like to think I could defend myself, but barely reaching five feet I knew it was unlikely.

Is sleeping with your pet really dangerous?
By Amber James | gargoyle@flagler.edu
They lounge in your favorite chair. They track muddy footprints on the freshly cleaned floor. They even steal your food right off the table if you don’t watch them. And all they leave behind as payment for your love and hospitality is fur on your black clothes.
They’re pets. And Americans love them.
Women’s soccer player Lindsay Zullo bringing success to the pitch
By Lauren Ely | gargoyle@flagler.edu
With a casual attitude and a smile on her face, Lindsay Zullo doesn’t look like the competitive, stand out athlete she has been for the Flagler College women’s soccer team.
Zullo, a junior from Hudson, Fla., began playing soccer at the age of four.
“It [soccer] was my favorite when I was a kid,” Zullo said. “I played basketball for a while, but I was kind of too short. I didn’t really make it.”
