Eventually, you glance at your cell phone … Continue reading How hard must we try?
Four cupcakes out of five to Alex Legeros for his ponderings last week on the subject of liberal arts and the merit of CI. As a CII student, I throughly resonate with his encouraging words to take an art class, specifically drawing, at Gustavus.

Coming off a second-place finish at last weekend’s Frank Wrigglesworth Blugold Invitational, the Men’s Golf team has its eyes set on dethroning defending champion St. John’s at this weekend’s MIAC Championships. In the Blugold Invitational, the Gusties fired an opening round of 302 and followed that up with a 306 in the final round to finish in second behind St. John’s.

The Gustavus Women’s tennis team began its fall competition three weeks ago and is on the cusp of completion, putting an end to the brief individual portion of the 2010 season. “Everything we do in the spring is all team-based,” Head Coach Jon Carlson said. “[The fall season] is hard because we created team goals, but we have one competition, and it’s an individual tournament.” … Continue reading Going Mobile: Women’s Tennis dominates regional tournament
