Several fall athletes have stand-out seasons this year

By Jett Johnson Sports Editor The fall sports season is wrapping up, and several Trevecca athletes had record years. Alex Hamm (Photo courtesy TNU Sports Information) Alex Hamm, a sophomore golfer, shot one of the three lowest rounds in Trevecca history at a 66. “When I shot that, I was locked in, so I didn’t even know what I was at, but after that, I felt a huge sense of relief,” said Hamm. Hamm finds importance in staying mentally focused in between swings to have performances like that. “I just try to stay in the present. Our coach always tells us to stay in the present and focus on one shot at a time. Sometimes you have to let your mind wander between swings because if you think about what you’re doing too long, you’ll get mentally tired,” said Ha...

New home for communication studies department

By Jedidiah Blomberg Staff Writer Video editing labs, the student newspaper office, an auditorium for theater auditions and rehearsals and film equipment are all now housed all under one roof for the department of communication studies. The department packed up offices in Tidwell, labs in Mackey and other learning spaces across campus to move into the Wakefield building over the summer. For communication studies faculty, the most exciting part of the move is the ability to create more community in the department. “We now have a space where students come and hang out before and after class and spaces for collaboration,” said Jeff Wells, chair of the department of communication studies. “There was no reason for them to come and wait for class in the hallways of Tidwell.

Urban Farm breeds soldier flies to make animal feed

By Miriam Rixon Contributor Matthew Burnham, manager of Trevecca’s urban farm, has the same morning routine everyday come rain or shine. He feeds the chickens shredded leafy greens and feeds the pigs big, round tomatoes and other vegetables they approve of. They are meticulous eaters and often turn their snout up to food that does not fit their sophisticated palate. After feeding the animals, Burham moves on to collect the eggs the chickens have dutifully laid out for him, change the water he set out the previous day, and walk over to a big, white plastic bin sitting in the middle of the chicken yard. Photo by Kayden Boyd – Photographer The bin, covered by a wooden pallet, does not look all that interesting from the outside, but like every special thing, it is what is on t...

Students live with ‘silent disabilities’ on campus

By Ellie Willson Contributor As the sun rises over the Nashville skyline, Trevecca’s campus begins to stir. Students begin to wake up for their 8 a.m. classes, and teachers pull onto campus ready to teach. For many, the process of getting out of bed is difficult, but it is a minuscule problem that gets lost in the shuffle of everyday life. For others, however, a war is waged before they step out of their dorm for the day. These warriors look like any other student, but their battles with chronic illness set them apart in a major way. One of these warriors is Olivia Jarrell, a freshman business major and STUNT athlete. Diagnosed with Addison’s disease, an autoimmune disorder, she lacks vital hormones, which cause her to feel heavily fatigued and appear very tan. She discusses how d...

‘The Eras of Trevecca’ Homecoming 2023 Schedule

By Sol Ayala Online News Editor On Saturday Nov. 4, the homecoming parade will be making its comeback after last year’s parade getting cancelled last minute due to weather conditions. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Trevecca homecoming parade. The structure of the parade is striving for each float to represent a time during the 50 years since the parade started. Madison Triplett, sophomore class president, along with the sophomore class council, oversee all preparations for the parade, and they picked the theme for this year’s parade. Usually there is not an overall theme to go along with the parade, but with this year being a special anniversary, she thought that this year needed a theme. The theme for the 2023 homecoming parade will be walking us through “the Er...
