When Luidgi Beauzile started this season as goalkeeper for the Flames soccer team, he could have hardly expected the challenges that awaited his family and home country of Haiti. Born and raised in Petion-Ville, Haiti, Beauzile and his brother, Cedrick, grew up fused with an energy for soccer. At a young age, the duo studied [...]
A major redesign is on the docket for Lee University’s Web site, bringing the aging site into the Web 2.0 era before the beginning of the spring semester.

Taking out student loans may be more difficult next semester due to the recent financial crisis that crippled Wall Street and plagued America’s banks. “You’re going to have trouble getting a loan for anything,” said Jonathan Bradford, a student worker in Lee’s Office of Financial Aid. “Fewer lenders are lending.” Many Lee students depend on [...]
In high school, my youth group participated in a weekly evangelistic study titled “The Way of the Master,” hosted by the former child star turned corny Christian movie star, Kirk Cameron. In each episode, we were taught to approach strangers on the street and ask them questions such as “have you ever told a [...]

Writing a book can be a long process, a process which takes a lot of research, patience and editing. The beginning of the semester has revealed six professors that have been dedicated to writing books on topics they feel are important enough to share with others.

Spore is a simulation game unlike any other. Players begin the game as a tiny cell in a giant bubble of ooze and a two-dimensional environment. The initial stage of the game focuses on evading cells that want to eat you and finding food, but when your cell gets enough points, it evolves and gains [...]
Lee Prime is the official name of the Lee University’s math club. Its return has been slow in coming for a very long time until Dr. Caroline Boulis, assistant professor of mathematics, took over the rein of leadership from the former sponsor Dr. Ronald Merritt. Boulis came to Lee University in 2004 after graduating with [...]
“We live in a lot of interruptions and surprises,” Shane Claiborne said. “And it’s part of the charm living in a neighborhood where you don’t know what’s going to happen.” Claiborne is a founding member of The Simple Way, an outreach group that focuses on the early church as reflected in Acts chapters two and [...]
In recent weeks, you may have noticed an increase in the number of Frisbees thrown around campus. With cooler nights and the need for stress-relieving activities reaching a near-peak, a heightened Frisbee craze has taken Lee by storm in the form of a circular, flying disc.

Perhaps I will regret saying this, but for all intensive purposes, I found “Ghost Town” to be entirely enjoyable, even though it fits perhaps one of the lowest film genres (that is, the ever-dreaded romantic comedy). Though the dark and cool of the Sunday afternoon theater was close to empty, there was not a laugh [...]
Dear Editor: Dr. Bayles’ letter to the editor in the Sept. 17 issue of the Lee Clarion puzzled me and raised a question that relates to the current political campaign that needs to be addressed. The puzzlement came when I noticed that he was pointing out a bias in the Lee Clarion’s political coverage. I [...]
Glen Hansard (member of Irish band The Frames) and Markota Irglova (classically trained Czech vocalist and pianist) are The Swell Season, but to say that a band is two people isn’t wholly accurate in this case, because The Swell Season is more of a montage of every emotion ever felt by the elated or heartbroken.
