LWC's Culture Shock Workshop By Erik Crittenden Lindsey Wilson campus is a place dedicated to learning new ideas. Studies of Science, History, Religion, Literature, and other fields are all given root in one place to educate anyone determined enough to pursue their knowledge. The only problem with pursuing that knowledge is the culture shock that follows with moving to the campus. The International Student Program (ISP as it's known on Lindsey campus) invited students to the Hodge auditorium to learn ways of fighting off that initial shock and embrace the new environment they have found themselves in. Dakota Smith, Assistant Director of ISP, and Kirsten Coetzee, Assistant Coach/Swimming, from South Africa, lead the students in a discussion in which they empathized with freshmen students, both domestic and international, about the struggle of being away from home.

History: The fight for local option in Adair County, 1934-37 JIM The fight for local option in Adair County, 1934-1937 (part I of II) As September 1934 drifted off stage and October strolled into the limelight, woes of the Great Depression, the fifth anniversary of Black Tuesday looming large on the near event horizon, temporarily took a back seat in Adair County as a special election drew nigh. Almost exactly ten months earlier, passage of the 21st Amendment to the US Constitution nullified the Volstead Act -- Prohibition -- and for the first time in nearly fourteen years, liquor flowed legally. Within a short time, however, the Adair Ministerial Association started agitating for exercise of the local option. On Sunday night, April 29, an overflow crowd packed the Court House to hear a number of local men of the cloth lay out the evils of alcohol and what could be done about curtailing same. Said the News, "All the ministers of local churches took part," including Rev. Perry L. Stone, pastor of the Columbia Christian, who made "a plea for the maintenance of Columbia's moral standards."
