B l a s t f r o m t h e pa s t Welcome back to the “blast from the past,� a feature showcasing articles from our archives. This fourth piece, from March 9, 1979, showcases the artwork of an incredibly talented Eckerd alum. The rest, as they say, is history!

How talented can an EC graduate be? Very! Former “Eck� Greg Lawson, who graduated with the class of ‘78, has done some excellent work in portraying the typical Eckerd student doing some typical and not so typical things. Lawson invented the “Eck� and even though he has secured a copyright for the unusual creature, many EC departments have used it quite freely. Thimblerig is more than happy to present you with some of Lawson’s latest creations. By the way, if you see yourself in one of these examples of life on campus, don’t be disgruntled; it’s like being on Candid Camera.

As a lifelong vegetarian, Thanksgiving has never meant much to me. Instead of a turkey dinner with all the trimmings, I’ve traditionally spent the afternoon preparing a large plate of nachos with all the necessary dips and toppings. Aside from sophomore year, I haven’t gone home for the holiday either. But not until today did I realize that, while I won’t be at home with my family for Thanksgiving, something else will be: The Current, and therefore, this column. And, without fail, I guarantee this column will be passed around the dinner table for the entire Martinez/D’Onofrio family to read. Interestingly enough, I have no idea to what extent my family knows I’m gay, so‌hey, guys. Hope dinner is going well.

claw does catch a lobster, it slides it down the chute and the owner of the machine will prepare it for you on the spot or give you a coupon for later redemption.

It’s comical that the loudest supporters of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act are the same people who demand that the federal government get out of their hair. If there is anything that proves mainstream Republicans are not for small government, it’s this. If it’s not the government’s place to require healthcare, impose taxation or ensure environmental regulations, then why is it acceptable for the government to intervene in the bedroom and tell you what marriage is? If you support states’ rights, then the issue is equally relevant. According to Sec. 1 Article 4 of the Constitution, “Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State.â€?

EC to D.C: Fighting oil with oil pounds of CO into the atmosphere. That’s not including the emissions of the two charter buses, or the amount of other greenhouse gasses emitted from gasoline.

I do believe that the trip was a unique experience that could arguably be just as important to an individual as the cause.

Original meaning of peace sign many times I have seen people wearing SHDFH VLJQV SDUWLFLSDWLQJ LQ ÂżJKWV XVLQJ hateful language, discriminating against others and putting others down. This type of behavior, and every other type of behavior that contradicts the peace sign’s new and old meaning, has turned the symbol of something beautiful into nothing but a mere fashion statement. It is almost sickening to see how such a delicate DQG ZRQGHUIXO V\PERO KDV EHFRPH VR LOOÄĽ represented. I know that those who use a peace symbol as a symbol for the way they live their life, including, but not limited to those who practice Eastern Philosophy, “hippiesâ€? and even those who just believe in Namaste ÄŞZKLFK LV 6DQVNULW IRU VHHLQJ DOO EHLQJV LQ WK\VHOIÄŤ DUH XQVHWWOHG E\ WKH K\SRFULWLFDO XVH RI WKLV V\PERO , MXVW FDQÂśW ÂżQG WKH connection where the peace sign became a symbol so full of virtuous meaning, into

something so irrefutably contradictive. This symbol, along with many others has been taken out of its original standing and has been turned into a popularity contest. And to tell the truth, it is pretty obnoxious for those who see the peace sign for what it truly is and work very hard to make peace to see people blatantly disregarding the meaning behind the symbol. Don’t get me wrong, there are still a large handful who rock the peace sign, that truly push for peace and could probably tell you what it stands for originally, but the whole assortment of people who choose to adorn themselves with it for the wrong reasons today give a bad name to the people who want to wear it for the right reasons. So we should do all the people who use it in the right mindset a favor and either conform to ways of peace, or we should put our peace signs down and let the loving vibes take a hold before we choose to wear them.

Skyrim proves incredible RPG for loyal fans and newbies alike Äž đĊĈ ÄŠÄŠÄ‘ÄŠÄ— !"#$%&'($&#)*+%&$,% My journey through Skyrim begins at midnight November 10, waiting patiently in line for a game I’ve been anticipating for years. I was there early, so I was in my car and headed home barely ten minutes after the release began. 7KH ÂżUVW WKLQJ WKDW VWUXFN PH DV , LQVWDOOHG Skyrim was that it required an Internet connection and Steam account to install. I personally detest being required to have an Internet cRQQHFWLRQ WR SOD\ D SXUHO\ VLQJOHÄĽ player game. I had hoped that since Oblivion had not required Internet, Bethesda would not alter their policy on the issue, but it was in vain. That said, the game installed in an extraordinarily fast twenty minutes. For anyone unfamiliar with The Elder Scrolls franchise of games, fear not. Bethesda, the game’s developing company, has made a habit with The Elder Scrolls to make each new game accessible to new players unfamiliar with the story. No background knowledge is required to play this game. But if you’re an avid fan, the developers threw in plenty of treats for our amusement. As amazing as the story is so far, I feel that where Bethesda truly outdid themselves is with the mechanics of the game. Fans will be intricately familiar with the leveling system IURP 0RUURZLQG DQG 2EOLYLRQ ÄŞ(OGHU 6FUROOV ,,, DQG ,9ÄŤ DQG Zith the general gameplay and feel of moving around in the game.

the most demanding VLQJOHÄĽSOD\HU 53* IDQÄĽEDVH RI DOO WLPH perhaps my favorite new development in the genre, ever. Like blowing things up with magic? Nothing stopping you. Want to do both? Sure. Do them both at the same time. Not only has Bethesda answered our FULHV IRU GXDOÄĽZLHOGLQJ LQ The Elder Scrolls universe, they’ve even attached the same idea to spells. Yes, you can dual wield spells. There is no restriction on which skills you can get better at, or at what pace, as there were in previous Elder Scrolls titles. Furthermore, every tiPH \RX OHYHO XS ÄŞE\ the way, gone is the “ten skill increases equals one level!â€? system; the higher your skill that you increase, the more impact it has on how fast \RX OHYHO XSÄŤ \RX JHW WR FKRRVH D single “perk.â€? Each skill has a perk tree with between eight and twelve or so perks a piece. As far as the keyboard goes, many things are the same. Movement hasn’t changed. A strange choice by Bethesda, however, was to switch the “activateâ€? and “jumpâ€? keys. That one took a little bit of getting used to. Each race of, course, begins the game with a unique Power that can be used once per day, many of which have changed from what they were in Oblivion.

Greek mythology, the Titans were the original rulers of the Earth and Universe until Zeus and his siblings, the gods of Olympus and children of Titan king Cronus, overthrew them.

One of the unfortunate parts of growing up is when we begin to realize that all the fairytales that we believed as children are not true at all. There isn’t going to be a prince waiting to sweep you away to a happily ever after, and there sure aren’t any mice that are willing to clean my dorm room. The upside, though, is that there are no evil witches or magical curses. As this reality sets in, although it may be upsetting, many of you will be pleased by ABC’s hit new TV series, “Once Upon A Time.â€? Although this series is brand new, with only four episodes aired, I am already hooked. Whether it is due to my childish obsession with fairy tales or its XQLTXH ZD\ RI PL[LQJ ÂżFWLRQ ZLWK reality, I think that this new show is going to be very popular. Starring Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Morrison and Lana Parrilla, this drama centers on a woman QDPHG (PPD ÄŞ0RUULVRQÄŤ ZKR LV brought to a small town in Maine by her biological son. Her son, Henry, portrayed by Jared S. Gilmore is trying to convince her that everyone in the town is actually a fairy tale character frozen in time. Her job is to save the town from Henry’s adoptive mother, who is known in an alternate universe as the evil queen. The series follows Emma through the journey of trying to make sense of the curse the evil queen has placed on the town and the people within in. 7KH XQLTXH ZD\ RI Ă€DVKLQJ WR Snow White’s magical fairy tale world and then back to the real world, with the same characters, is a fantastic way to keep the plot interesting. This new twist on classic fairytales is exciting and refreshing. According to tvbythenumbers.com, in the past three weeks, “Once Upon A Timeâ€? has marked ABC’s highest series rating in the slot in nearly three years. With Sunday Night Football and the World Series as competition, “Once Upon a Time “ shines through as Sunday QLJKW V QXPEHU RQH QRQÄĽVSRUWV program. Tune in Sundays at 8 p.m. on ABC to get lost in magical world of fairy tales.

Gilbert has beÄĽ come a noted owner in the current labor negotiations. But Gilbert has proven to be the wrong choice by the owners due to his history with the players. Gilbert has held a hard line on player contracts and a salary cap since his Cavaliers lost Lebron James in the infamous Decision. In the weeks following “The Decisionâ€?, Gilbert went on tirades through letters to Cleveland fans saying that he will rebuild the team, guaranteeing winning a title within a decade, and even going so far as to declare the acquisition of James by Miami to be illegal by league by laws to demand an investigation of the move. Gilbert had a right to be upset; the loss of Lebron James meant that the Cavaliers went from a successful organization to a team that lost both money and games. In fact, The Atlantic estimated that losing Lebron meant that the city of Cleveland was losing up to two million dollars per home game. Gilbert invested in the Cavaliers at the crescendo of the Lebron era.

The players have been a mixed bag of emotions reļ garding the lockout. Regardless of team, they seem to stand together in solidarity. Many look at each other as their brothers instead of just friends. Many have known each other since their days in college, while some only know people when they enter the league.

This past season Jake watched the Nuggets trade Carmelo Anthony to New York with the promise of making more money.

On the proposal of a salary cap for the league, Jake was supportive saying that “if teams could spend only a certain amount, it would really allow smaller teams to compete.â€? He continued by sayÄĽ ing that the “game never changes as long as people can be paid as much as possible.â€? Eckerd sophomore and Lakers fan, Walker Banks agrees with Jake. When asked about the lockout, Walker described that the whole scenario was a result of poor deciÄĽ sion making by both parties.
