“Do you want the ultimate answers to life?” reads the flyer for Acting 1 class’ musical play entitled “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten.”
Take a break during finals week on Dec. 10 and mosey on over to the Flagler College Auditorium at 7 p.m. and you might just get an answer to one of your questions.

We’ve got basketball, baseball, volleyball, golf, tennis, soccer and cross country, but apparently that’s not enough.
The construction of a new student center, among other projects, is one physical sign that Flagler College is undergoing change.
Speculation of giving Flagler’s athletic department a facelift would create another entirely new look for the college. This might also include programs such as a women’s fast pitch softball team, crew and even a swim team, if rumors are to be believed.

Flagler guard D. J. Ferguson knows he and his Saints did everything they could to match the speed and physicality of a Saint Thomas University team that he calls “a top team in the Florida Sun Conference.”

“We used to have gas,” is a familiar t-shirt slogan around The Surf-Station. The building used to be a fully functional Amoco gas station and surf shop back in 1984.
Fast-forward to 2007 and things have certainly changed around ‘Station.’ For one, the quality of surfboards and other products have been drastically upgraded. The shop is now the Channel Islands East Coast Warehouse, something to be very proud of. According to Flagler Alumni and shop manager Matt Ollis, “We carry 1,000 boards from 40 different brands as well as at least 300 used boards at Surf-Station II.”

Sixties-style harmonies, cheerful music, scruffy beards, Ray Ban Wayfarers — these are words that describe the Philadelphia rock group Dr. Dog. According to Esquire magazine, “Dr. Dog is the kind of group that other bands stand around and watch, slack-jawed, blown away by performances that are equal parts of rock spectacle and jam session.”
As I was standing in the crowd at Café Eleven watching Dr. Dog perform, I realized that traveling back in time was possible, and listening to this band’s music was the trick. Dr. Dog’s new release, We All Belong, is in the same neighborhood of music by The Beatles and The Beach Boys, sounding as though it came out in the late 60s.

For the Flagler College volleyball team, there will be no trophy, no regional or national tournament but don’t tell them they didn’t win a championship on Friday night because as much as they could, they did.
A team still in its NCAA infancy, with no postseason light at the end of the tunnel, had just one game to look forward to at the end of the year, another match with rival SCAD.
With emotions running high, the Saints managed to overcome their demons, and a 2-1 SCAD lead, to bring home a 3-2 victory and their own little championship.

Golitah 97, David 51
It didn’t end the way that head coach Bo Clark and the Saints had dreamed, no one dreams about losing by 46, but for one night, Flagler College basketball was on the big stage.
“This was an exciting thing for Flagler College,” Clark said. “I wish I could say we won the ballgame 88-84 but I’d probably be dreaming.”
The Saints, playing the role of David, entered the O’Connell Center in Gainesville, Florida last Thursday as a severe underdog and when it came down to it, Goliath, the two-time defending national champion Florida Gators, was just too big and too strong.

With what may be the biggest game — in terms of hype — in school history behind them, the Flagler Saints men’s basketball team now focuses on what’s in front of them: the 2007-2008 season.
The Saints lost their first exhibition game of the season to the Florida Gators 97-51, but the regular season starts Nov. 15 against Trinity College at Flagler Gym.
“Florida is not going to be a true gauge of how good we are,” Coach Bo Clark said. “It’ll be the Rollins and Florida Southern and Saint Leo games, and that’ll be a transition, too.”
