At 11 a.m. in the Chapel this past Tuesday, Dr. Robert B. Kruschwitz delivered the 2009 George Walker Redding Endowed Lecture. Delivered to students and faculty alike, the lecture— titled “Naming the Distortion(s) of Love: The Deadly Sin of ‘…Whatever!’”— focused on the vices, particularly the seven deadly sins, which obstruct the path toward goodness.

Ken Holden, Director of the Marshall Center for Christian Ministry, began the event by welcoming the crowd and providing some background information about Dr. George Redding and the Marshall Center. Dr. Redding taught at Georgetown College from 1943-1973. Even though he “retired” in 1973, he taught until his death in 1989. The Marshall Center, started at Georgetown College in 1997, was named for Drs. Bill and Alice Marshall, who were both Georgetown College graduates. Dr. Redding, coincidentally, performed their wedding ceremony.

SGA wants you to spend their money

With an extra $20,000 in their budget, SGA asks students for spending suggestions

As the school year begins and students return to Georgetown College from the comfort of their own homes, it’s natural for them to focus on improvements that could be made around campus. Currently, students have the chance to contribute their ideas for improvements and possibly see them carried out.

The Student Government Association has announced that they have a surplus of approximately $20,000 in their budget and are inviting students to help decide how to spend the money. Over the years, the SGA has saved money from their general budget and now want to make sure that it is spent in a way that will directly benefit the student body, rather than continuing to let it sit and accumulate. Last semester, there was discussion of improving the volleyball court, which is located on South Campus between the PHA house and Flowers Hall, but at the time nothing came of it. Now, that option is being considered again.
