Brett Dennen is everyone’s “Loverboy”
By Jacqueline Dautel |Â gargoyle@flagler.edu
It was one of those nights when I just didn’t feel like turning off the TV and going to bed. The applause of late night talk shows faded, the clock struck 1:35 a.m. and Last Call with Carson Daly began informing me of the best new artists. I had been idly watching for hours until Brett Dennen, and the sway of his fiery red hair, appeared and began to belt out a few of his newest songs.
It was 2009 when I heard of him for the first time. Dennen’s hopefulness was so memorable that when I heard about the release of his newest album on April 12th, titled “Loverboy,” I had to find out what this one was all about.
Veg-head learns moderation through meat-eating
By Caroline Young gargoyle@flagler.edu
I looked up at my boyfriend’s face and then back down into my bowl where the dead bird was floating. It was day one of seven in my omnivorous experimentation after being a vegetarian since I was 12-years-old, which was ten years ago.
My first meal was organic chicken and dumplings. My boyfriend, who is a proud meat-eater and believes we are made to eat flesh, decided to order tofu. I am not sure if he was actually in the mood for the soy meat substitute that usually serves as one of my main sources of protein, or if this was some sick joke. Nonetheless, I had committed to eating this chicken, so I took my first bite.

Just by looking at her, it’s hard to tell that Shannon Aument was in a life-threatening car accident.
On April 22, 2006, Aument slammed her head against the back of the passenger’s seat, disfiguring her face. After stitches, doctors used plastic surgery to rebuild her nose. The procedure took two years, but the results left her looking almost exactly as she did before the accident.

Longtime professor of Journalism, Rob Armstrong, will be stepping down from his position at Flagler College at the end of this semester.

Students speak out about nuclear power

“One of the most devastating natural disasters in history is to blame for what’s going on in Fukushima, not the only plausible generator of electricity that’s available,” said Flagler College Junior Kathleen Fitzpatrick.
The USA Today gallop poll, released a few weeks ago, said Americans’ support in building new nuclear power plants has dropped significantly. A CBS news poll released in July 2008 showed more than half of U.S. citizens supported them.

Hot pink leopard curtains hang in one window and bohemian green fixtures dress the other. Bright paintings filled with vibrant color, flowers, human faces, snakes, skulls and female genitalia surround the perimeter of the room. One after the other, each is completely unique from its neighbor. They all have a story, a meaning. And each painting is determined to evoke some kind of emotion hidden beneath human layers.
