Senior’s photo qualifies as finalist in national photography competition

By Kincaid Schmidt

Andrea Huls is an expert at stopping time.

She is not, however, a scientist. Nor is she a quantum physicist or a magician. But as a photographer, the native of Bolivia has the ability to capture a moment in time perfectly, and that expertise is now being recognized in a big way.

Huls, a photo editor for The Gargoyle, received a letter last month from Photographer’s Forum Magazine distinguishing her as a finalist in their 27th annual collegiate photography contest. This honor grants her publication in the Best of College Photography Annual 2007, as well as the chance to win $1,000 and a brand new digital camera.

Trends trickling to even younger ages

By Laura Higley

Underage drinking is a problem that plagues many college campuses, but recent evidence suggests that students are having their first taste of alcohol at a much younger age.

“I don’t think that many students taste their first drink of alcohol in college anymore,” said Daniel Stewart, dean of student services at Flagler College.

According to Students Against Destructive Decisions, 80 percent of high school students have consumed alcohol.


Jutronic’s new venture: Tennis player, photographer, now also a clothier

“Faca” is the Croatian word for face, or in this case, a slang term for legend.

“When you see a friend and say hello, we usually say, ‘ejjj faca’. It is like a ‘What’s up?'” said Flagler senior Mario Jutronic, who was born in Croatia.

Faca is also the fresh brand name developed by Jutronic that he says breaks away from the ordinary and mass-produced. It targets the hip segment that is both art and fashion conscious.
