Our Hendrix sports teams are a labor of love as students come together and put their all into everything they do. Their dedication to practice and performance in games/matches shine through in their comradery. This is especially true for our tennis team, who this past season comprises six members, which is the member limit per both boys’ and girls’ teams.

Hendrix sponsored parties are usually an annual event with a recurring theme. Most parties are easy to prepare for like Ghost Roast, SOCO 54, and Formal, while some themes are out there like Robots or the recent addition of Jarty.

Compared to most other parties on campus, toga is uniquely evocative of Greek life.

The City of Conway has announced they will be replacing all traffic lights and intersections with roundabouts. After long thought and deliberation, the leaders of our community have decided that traffic lights pose too much danger for Conway’s citizens. The ever-present issue of road rage and refusal to follow traffic laws makes intersections a hazard to all. Pedestrians and bicyclists were in the hearts and minds of legislators as they heroically took a stand against reckless driving. Roundabouts, in their simplicity, have often been described as … Continue reading Conway City Remapping: Roundabouts

Miss Hendrix Alumni Importance

Miss Hendrix is a campus tradition that uses the art of drag to allow students the opportunity to perform for their peers while raising money for the community. While I’ve only been to one Miss Hendrix show, I felt the power in each performance and each contestants’ strive to win. While Miss Hendrix is an old tradition, it has continued to evolve alongside the student body.  Hendrix alum Anthony Lucio competed in Miss Hendrix thirteen years ago, in 2011. I interviewed him via email, during which he described Miss Hendrix as a “decades-old drag show for charity.” His first time … Continue reading Miss Hendrix Alumni Importance
