This past Wednesday R-Pride celebrated National Philanthropy Day. The organization set up a stand near the Campus Center where they passed out flyers and stickers in order to raise on-campus awareness for the importance of philanthropy at Rollins.

to Rollins after graduation,” she said. “Without philanthropy Rollins would not be what it is today.”

In order to illustrate how philanthropy has already impacted Rollins, signs next to buildings and facilities made possible through donations were set up all across campus. Many residence halls, courtyards, and academic buildings were built with help from donations.

R-Pride also hosted 24 Hours of Giving, which directly encouraged students to donate.

According to Flores, additional events will continue to stress the importance of philanthropy at Rollins. “Part of R-Pride is the Senior Campaign,” said Flores. “We find [organizations] for seniors that they’re passionate about to encourage them to give a Senior Gift and to start donating.”

With the recent Russian plane crash and growing concerns about the threat of terrorism, next semester’s field study in Egypt has been relocated to Peru.

After a plane broke apart mid-air over the Sinai Peninsula and the rise of speculation regarding a potential missile attack, tourism in Egypt has all but halted. The Russian passenger jet Metrojet Flight 9268 crashed over Egypt near the village of Housna only 23 minutes into its flight back to St. Petersburg on Saturday, October 31.

Jana Mathews, a faculty leader for the Rollins Spring Break field study originally scheduled for Egypt next semester, reminds us to keep an open mind in evaluating the tragedy.

“Like everyone, I was horrified and saddened when I first read about the Russian plane crash. As I followed the story somewhat obsessively in subsequent days, I was increasingly reminded of Nigerian novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s popular TED talk on the dangers of a viewing anything or anyone from a single perspective,” she said.

“The plane crash is a tragedy certainly deserving of international attention and focus, but one of the unfortunate consequences of this incident is the creation of a ‘single story’ of Egypt that centers on political instability, violence, and terror-

the coming months. . . Since government travel information can be influenced by political relationships between countries, we always find it helpful to look at a range of governments to gain a better sense of risks,” she said.

“That said, we were also aware that other study abroad programs in Egypt—through other schools and organizations—were still running normally.”

Despite the change in itinerary, students remain just as enthusiastic about the chance to explore Peru.

Minoska Hernandez ’17, who will be going on the field study next semester, said, “My parents were a bit worried, and I was wondering is any changes would occur. However, I trust the school and professors leading the field study and I know that our safety is first priority. . .

It will be so incredible having the chance to explore Machu Picchu and the different cities of Peru.

I am still just as excited for this field study despite the change of plans and am really grateful that I have the opportunity to go.”

Although Egypt has many things to offer, and, as Mathews said, “Egypt is incredible and a visit there belongs on everyone’s bucket list,” the decision to divert to Peru seems to have been the right one.

Dining and discussion with renowned author Letty Cottin Pogrebin met in an intimate setting with students to discuss her life as a Jewish feminist and its impact on her work as an author.

Micah Bradley

Editor-in-Chief

Letty Cottin Pogrebin, a Jewish feminist, journalist, and author, visited campus last Monday and held two events.

The first was an intimate dinner with a few students to discuss her life and work, and the second was a talk with former Congresswoman Pat Schroeder and Rollins President Emerita Rita Bornstein, which was open to the public. Pogrebin’s visit was planned by Bornstein and co-sponsored by the Florida League of Women Voters, Sexuality, Women’s and Gender Studies, and Jewish Studies.

Pogrebin was a founding editor of Ms. Magazine, which was a landmark publication in the feminism movement. Many of her works revolve around the concepts of Judaism and feminism and how they overlap.

She has written a total of eleven books; notable writings include her two memoirs Deborah, Golda, and Me: Being Female and Jewish in America (1992) and Getting Over Getting Older (1997). Also significant are her first novel, called Three Daughters (2003), and a guidebook entitled How To Be A Friend To A Friend Who’s Sick (2014).

Pogrebin’s newest novel is

Celebrating Rollins’ commitment to global citizenship This week Rollins celebrates International Education Week with several on-campus events showcasing its commitment to global education.

Photo Courtesy of Dr. Yudit Greenberg entitled Single Jewish Male Seeking Soul Mate (2015). The plot revolves around a young Jewish man who promises his mother that he will marry a Jewish woman to preserve their bloodline and traditions. After her death, he finds himself falling in love with an African-American activist.

“What is Jewish continuity?

That’s the question this book asks,” said Pogrebin at her dinner with students.

Dr. Yudit Greenberg, Cornell Professor of Religion and Director of the Jewish Studies Program, commented on why Pogrebin’s writings are important to her.

“I appreciate and admire Ms. Pogrebin’s writings. She writes with passion and compassion; I am comforted when I read

her close description of Jewish life in New York—the foods eaten, the holidays celebrated, the Yiddish phrases strewn throughout her writings. She is the bridge between the old world of Eastern European Jewish immigrants after the turn of the twentieth century and contemporary American Jews who are more fully integrated and part of our multiculturalism,” said Greenberg.

“I think her book Deborah, Golda, and Me: Being Female and Jewish in America has been influential in addressing the mutual interdependence of feminism and Judaism.” Greenberg often uses the book in her class “Jewish Life and Thought.”

Pogrebin commented on how she finds Deborah to be a feminist role model.

“Deborah is a prophet. She’s a military leader, she has a song, she becomes a judge—who could not use this as a role model?”

Her dinner discussion with students was filled with reflections on feminism and religion.

Pogrebin spoke of growing up as a young Jewish woman and how she struggled to reconcile her family’s faith with her feminism.

She touched on topics such as the Holocaust, Jewish traditions, and her writings.

Greenberg said, “I hope students learned from her about her courage and determination and that of the women of her generation who fiercely labored for justice and equality. . . [and] her struggle to maintain her dual identity as a feminist and a Jew and dedication to both in the face of differences and biases within the feminist movement.”

Tars pack opening night at Dave’s Boathouse Last Thursday marked the opening of Rollins new pub Dave’s Boathouse.

The pub offers healthy new food options in a refurbished setting.

Alexandra Mariano

Head Copy Editor

While Thursday nights are not typically seen as occasions for great festivity, last Thursday brought together a swarm of jubilant students, faculty, and staff to the lower level of the Cornell Campus Center—all celebrating the long-awaited grand opening of Dave’s Boathouse, the new pub on campus.

The entire event—and the new venue—was absolutely nautical. The lacquer on the tables shined; pseudo-portholes displayed images of the Rollins Campus; the Groove Orient provided background music that had everyone bobbing their heads; commemorative t-shirts were passed out; mouth-watering free-samples circulated; and a dazzling new bar sat in front of the exit facing the pool, surrounded by flat-screen televisions with sports games. The small lounge in the back right was kept from the old layout.

A line almost immediately began to form in front of the grill, which did not begin serving food until half an hour after the opening’s official start time. Servers brought out several appetizers to appease the curious and hungry crowd. The naked wings were everything you would expect from typical bar-food, but the following menu items began to showcase the flair that Rollins Dining Services is known for. Dave’s has upgraded their renowned mozarella sticks to tequeños, a traditional Venezuelan snack filled with white cheese whose exterior resembles more of an eggroll than what we are used to—but is delicious nonetheless.

Another dining delight was the mushroom and artichoke arancini: Sicilian fried and stuffed rice balls complemented with Dave’s signature tomato sauce.

A word of caution, though: some of the small plates are more worth your buck than others—$6 only covers two arancini balls. Others, though, such as the

poutine, are more than filling.

If you are not familiar with the Canadian classic, it consists of french fries smothered in gravy and cheese curds. For more satisfaction, you can also add a serving of protein—salmon, steak, or chicken--to your poutine.

Campaigners for fresh, healthy food can rejoice: all of the beef served at Dave’s is grass-fed. Evocative of BugerFi’s delicacies, each top bun has the added touch of a branded anchor image. There is also a decent selection for veggie-lovers, including salads, quinoa, and a vegan burger.

The desserts, too, are no joke. The deep-fried cheesecake combines the goodness of country fair cuisine with Rollins’ signature elegance—and the accompanying fruit sauce is exquisite.

The Perfect Brownie also lives up to its name, crafted with Nutella and white chocolate. And, yes, the milkshakes are back—all made with Fair Trade ice cream.

While the menu does not have a

standard price for the customizeable treats, the milkshakes’ starting price is $5.59 plus tax.

The alcohol, of course, was also a big hit. Dave’s has a selection of craft beer featuring favorites such as Yuengling and Miller Lite, organic IPA, and gluten-free hard cider. Marcie Oliveira ’17 commented that the beer is “reasonably priced,” ranging from $6 to $9 for a 16-ounce mug.

While there is no hard liquor, there is wine on tap—offering a more unique and refreshing taste than wine straight from a bottle.

There is an equal balance of red and white wines—three each— offered, all supplied by Florida’s only sustainable winery, Quantum Leap. The wine ranges from $4.50 to $8.50 per glass.

The majority of campus, while frustrated with the continual postponing of Dave’s, seemed to have been pleased with the end result. Director of Facilities Scott Bitikofer believes the Boathouse “is a special place that will serve Rollins students

for decades to come.”

When asked about why exactly the pub’s projected enddate kept changing, Bitikofer responded, “I’ve heard it said that project management is like a three-legged stool—unfortunately more often than not you get two out of three, those being quality, cost, and schedule. That being said, it was a complicated project with many campus constituencies having input on the design of the project. Ultimately the project was late because the design was late, but in the end I think we got it right. It appears we got two out of three: quality and cost.”

Dave’s Boathouse will be open every day of the week from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. The bar will serve alcohol after 7 p.m. Mondays through Wednesdays, after 5 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays, and after 1 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. As the semester winds down, the entire Rollins community is sure to flock to 28°35’28’’ N, 81°20’55” W.

Celebrating Native American Heritage Month Danielle del Pico

Staff Writer

November is Native American Heritage month. Historically, the Muscogee, along with the Choctaw and other indigenous

people, were the Winter Park area’s first residents. Rollins College offers various experiences to learn and understand Native American history and culture.

Olin Library is celebrating by displaying books and films, all

available for checkout. “Native American Media and Culture,” a course offered in Spring 2016 taught by Professor Denise Cummings, confronts “how a variety of media texts and traditions intersect with questions of race, ethnicity, and other identity categories, how such texts have engaged with diversity and marginalization, class and inequality, and how they may affect identity formations and relations.”

According to the National Congress of American Indians and Native American Heritage Month website, only 50 years ago major restrictions were “facing American Indians and Alaska Natives voters, struck down in every state with the passage of the Voting Rights Act, ensuring Native people could participate as voters in state and national elections.”

President George H. W. Bush declared November as National Native American Heritage Month 25 years ago. According to a proclamation by President Obama in 2010, marking November 26 as Native American Heritage Day, “America’s journey

has been marked both by bright times of progress and dark moments of injustice for American Indians and Alaska Natives.

Since the birth of America, they have contributed immeasurably to our country and our heritage, distinguishing themselves as scholars, artists, entrepreneurs, and leaders in all aspects of our society.”

The Native American population in America is growing.

According to the 2010 census, “there are over 5.2 million American Indian and Alaska Native people (in combination or alone), and there are 566 federally recognized tribal nations that exist as sovereign nations within 33 states of the United States.”

November 11 also marks Veterans Day. According to the Native American Heritage Month website, Native Americans have the highest record of service per capita, compared to any other ethnic groups.

As a highlight, the Center for Leadership & Community Engagement’s Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki: A Place to Learn, A Place to Remember Immersion partnered

with the Seminole Tribe of Florida at the Everglades National Park from November 13–15.

Participants learned about the Seminole people, including their history and culture. According to Sofia Macias, staff facilitator for the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Immersion, “Participants are staying at the Billie Swamp Safari nearby, in traditional native-style chickees (thatched roof dwellings) with no electricity and no running water. At Billie Swamp, we will also be partaking in an evening swamp safari tour, and a couple of other nature and animal focused cultural activities.”

Abby Hollern, director of the Center for Inclusion and Campus Involvement, commented on the importance of these sorts of programs on campus.

“Rollins is committed to creating an inclusive environment on campus and providing opportunities for students to engage in dialogue and learn about social justice,” she said. “If we’re truly preparing students to be global citizens and responsible leaders, diversity and inclusion are fundamental components.”

Hulaween leaves spectators breathless Jonny Scoblionko

Photos by Jonny Scoblionko

Columnist

As I think back on my Hulaween experience, one word constantly comes to mind: magical. Although I had been the previous two years, it seemed that the entire festival staff pulled out the big guns this year; everything seemed to be bigger and better. The stage production was outstanding on every level, both audio and visual. Spirit Lake was once again a psychedelic haven among the Live Oaks and Spanish moss. Furthermore, with over 21,000 people in attendance, it was the first Suwannee event to reach capacity.

Although Hulaween as a whole was unforgettable, here is a list of five moments from Hulaween that I will remember for the rest of my life: 5. The opening notes of “China Cat Sunflower” during Joe Russo’s Almost Dead JRAD simply defies the confines of being a cover band; they just are on another level. Their set felt like a journey back in time to the psychedelic age. Though their entire set was fantastic, I will never forget when guitarist Tommy Hamilton busted out the opening notes of “China Cat Sunflower.” I was walking around dancing and checking out the vendor area when I immediately bolted up to the stage.

Those notes would ultimately evolve into an incredible 35+ minutes of nonstop music with “China Cat” into “King Soloman’s Marbles” followed by an astonishing rendition of “Franklin’s Tower” and ultimately “I Know You Rider.” Their set lasted for over two hours and the music never stopped as JRAD pushed the limits of time, space, and the music of the Grateful Dead.

4. Riding the Ferris Wheel During String Cheese One of the staples at Hulaween is the famed Ferris wheel located near the main stage. As if it was not cool enough to be able to ride a Ferris wheel during the show, my girlfriend and I happened to get on during the song “’Round the Wheel,” one of my favorite Cheese songs. While the band sang about “spinning around the wheel of life,” I quite literally was.

3. Dopapod on the Spirit Lake Stage To call the set up of Spirit Lake enchanting would be an understatement; that place was an absolute trip! Between the fire-breathing sculptures, aerial dancers, and interactive installations, it was quite an otherworldly experience. Although there were bands playing all weekend, Dopapod’s performance blew me away. True performers in every sense, the audio-visual experience they unleashed was incredible. Guitarist Rob Compa’s performance of “Jack’s Lament” from A Nightmare Before Christmas fit perfectly to welcome Halloween, and Eli Winderman wailed on his Moog all night like a man possessed as he played the keyboard.

2. Stage-Side Mimosas and Merch Giveaways at the Groove Orient Playing one of their biggest shows to date, the Groove Orient went above and beyond for their Saturday afternoon set. As I boogied down in my sequin jacket and white bell-bottoms, I helped distribute free hats and sunglasses to the crowd. We also released a number of beach balls into the crowd during various peaks throughout the performance. As I promised many people before the show, I made sure to bring some stage-side mimosas as well. That set was certainly one for the record books.

1. Press Pit During Primus Now, I am not usually one to gush, but I just about melted when Primus to the stage. As I stood in front of thousands of people, making eye contact with Les Claypool, I realized that I achieved a childhood dream. Of course, the entire set was nothing short of awe-inspiring, but those first moments were simply hypnotizing.

With this being my thirdstraight Hulaween, I really felt humbled to have been able to watch the growth of such a beautiful event. Despite rumors that this was the last Hulaween, there has been confirmation from String Cheese that the festival will be returning next year, and I for one cannot wait to see what is in store for the future. When String Cheese throws a party, you definitely do not want to miss it.

Post-apocalyptic game incorporates fresh concept New systems and alluring graphics will definitely keep ‘Fallout’ fans asking for more.

Nicolas Nagaoka

Columnist

Post-apocalyptic America has never looked this beautiful. Fallout 4 is the return of the iconic sci-fi world of Fallout.

The game is a first person/third person shooter, open-world exploration video game with Role Playing Game (RPG) mechanics.

Fallout 4 takes place 200 years after nuclear bombs fell on the world. Luckily, the player’s character was signed up for one of the many shelters known as the Vaults in Boston. The player is frozen in the Vault and escapes 200 years later only to emerge and find a transformed Boston wasteland, known as the Commonwealth.

First off, the game looks gorgeous. It was not realistic in terms of graphics, but they were still detailed. In-game Boston had remnants of colorful town-

houses and landmarks such as Bunker Hill. The creatures and people who roamed the world were clear byproducts of the wasteland. Raiders, scavengers, mutated beasts, and even scientific experiments gone wrong roam the Commonwealth, each with their own unique looks and attention to detail. Everything from the armor they wore to their irradiated bodies were filled to the brim with details.

Calling on the more recent first-person shooter genre, Fallout 4 takes inspiration from those and implements them fantastically into the game. Controls were tight and shooting/melee combat felt visceral and fantastic.

The RPG elements are not new to the Fallout series, with “perks” or abilities being taken at every level that change the way you play. Armor and weapons can be modified and tweaked, giving you a wide range of customiza-

Annie Russell gives classic play a unique twist The seventeenth-century play ‘Tartuffe’ pleasantly surprises its audience with a 1930s setting.

Christina Fuleihan

It was a stellar opening night for the cast and crew of Tartuffe— playing in Annie Russell’s theater through November 21. The cast was at its best and the actors took their characters to the next level.

From René Borr ’19’s opening monologue as Madame Pernelle to Haley Benson ’17’s sophisticated portrayal of the distinguished lady of the house, each and every actor and actress played their role with vigor and vivacity.

Mathew Striegel ’17 made Tartuffe his own by delivering complex monologues in a Russian accent, which only emphasized Tartuffe’s con man persona.

As Striegel put it, “I couldn’t have done it without everyone else.”

Everyone, from supporting characters to main leads, had their part to play in the success of the performance.

Among such a bright cast, however, the two characters Dorine and Orgon managed to consistently steal the show with their performances.

Chloe Brewer ’17—the impertinent and high-spirited maid Dorine—brought an extra level of sass and wit to her character, managing to elate every scene she was in.

Lead Casey Casteel ’17 had undeniably mastered the element of comic relief with Orgon, bringing an extra flair to Orgon’s temper tantrums that raised a potentially aggravating character into someone who was laughout-loud funny.

From that very first glance at the incredible set design—complete with a stellar chandelier and an artfully placed chaise lounge chair—this play was bound to be one to remember.

Tartuffe is definitely one of the must-watch performances of the Annie Russell’s current season, which will be bringing us Expecting Isabel and Hello Dolly

next semester.

Tartuffe was written in 1664

by French playwright Molière.

Banned by the church at the time of its creation, it remained popular among aristocrats, telling the story of the affluent Orgon who has completely fallen under the spell of the “pious” and “righteous” con man Tartuffe, despite the resentment that Orgon’s family holds toward the imposter.

Introduce Tartuffe’s lust for Orgon’s wife Elmire, as well as Orgon’s attempts to marry his daughter off to Tartuffe despite her protests, and the comedy delivers.

Dorothy Adam, a Rollins alumnus who had been involved in theater production as a Rollins undergraduate and was a member of the audience, reminisced about her time at Rollins, when the only exception to female freshmen not following the 10 p.m. weeknight curfew was those involved in the theater productions.

Adam has seen Tartuffe on

numerous occasions in various theatres, but she was impressed with the unique take of the Rollins’ production.

“I’ve never seen it without sixteenth-century wigs before. It seems like the setting focuses on the art deco period.”

This unique 1930s take on the classic was augmented greatly by the experience and superb directing skills that TPJ Distinguished Visiting Artist John Christopher Jones brought to the table.

Jones commented, “It was a very difficult play with very sophisticated language. The actors in the theatre did an incredible job.”

The entire play was performed in verse, and some audience members, like Katherine Ammon ’17, were slightly nervous if that would affect the success of the play; however, they were wonderfully surprised.

As Ammon put it, “the actors brought this sixteenth-century play to life!”

end.

Fallout 4 is not without its flaws. One is that it is the most streamlined out of the entire franchise, which can be seen as either good or bad. I saw it as bad: too much streamlining and editing of gameplay mechanics. The game is riddled with glitches, some of which are game-breaking ones. Characters get stuck in walls, characters do not move when they need to, dialogue is cut off, and there is some crashing or freezing during gameplay.

Nonetheless, Fallout 4 is an amazing addition, and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to enter the franchise. In the week after it came out, I spent 41 hours of my week on this game.

I urge anyone to step into this game to see what the Boston wasteland has to offer.

Fallout 4 is available for PC, PS4, and XBOX One.

Fast Facts: The audience was impressed by how the cast articulated the play’s message and language in a professional manner.

The play was performed entirely in verse, leaving the audience amazed.

Tartuffe was written by french playwright Moliere in 1664.

The play is directed by John Christopher Jones.

Rollins’ production adds a new perspective to a classic by setting it in the 1930s.

The set design captured the public’s attention with its artfully placed props and lovely details which made the play come alive.

From milk tea to macarons: Quickly

As the 2015 movie season is coming to a close, we have to look at the exceptional actors that will have bright futures in the industry. Move aside George Clooney and Will Smith, there are some new contenders coming up.

just sweet enough and the coffee flavor was not too strong. The jasmine milk tea was also wonderful, gaining the whole-hearted approval of my table’s tea expert. We also settled on two macaron flavors, Chai tea and Nutella, both of which came out chilled and delicious.

Quickly Boba & Snow is a great place to relax after your last class, though if you plan on stopping by to grab a sweet treat at the end of the day, I recommend getting there earlier in the evening since they tend to run out of certain items later on.

That is no big complaint though, because the knowledgeable employees can always point you toward another excellent option.

The next time you are craving boba, check out Quickly Boba & Snow, located at 3214 East Colonial Drive and open every day from noon to 11:00 p.m.

These actors are just some to lookout for in the near future.

There are still plenty of others out there, even some who have been household names for a while but are redefining themselves, such as Jake Gyllenhaal, Matthew McConaughey, and Matt Damon.

It will be interesting to see what the film industry has in store for all these actors in the coming years.

Big, quirky paintings of the Chinese zodiac signs adorably escaping from a cup of boba, along with awesome bubble tea and delicious macarons, can be found at Quickly Boba & Snow.

Cristoph Waltz Let us start with the cunning Christoph Waltz. His breakthrough roles came in the form of Inglorious Bastards (2009), Django Unchained (2012), and the more recent Spectre (2015). This man is a devil in disguise. His characters are always charismatic people with silver tongues. I love seeing him in anything because no matter what, he will deliver a stellar performance. His warm smile is always deceiving, even when he is playing the good guy. His presence as a villain is unsettling—as if he is always one step ahead of you. No matter where you put him, Waltz will deliver absolute joy and deception to any role.

Eddie Redmayne To contrast this, we have the young Eddie Redmayne, who had breakthrough roles in both Les Misérables (2012) and The Theory of Everything (2014).

He also has the much-anticipated Danish Girl coming out later this month. As mentioned before, Redmayne is the total opposite to Waltz, as his portrayals of characters tend to be warm and loving.

The characters are still flawed, but they have a sense of genuine innocence to them. In this increasingly cynical world, Redmayne truly understands what makes a fun, loving character and convinces viewers that there are people out there who truly act and believe in these ways.

Chiwetal Eijofor Then we have Chiwetel Eijofor. This man is the essence of the everyman. While Waltz and

Redmayne can play up the everyman, Eijofor lives for this ideal.

With his breakthrough role in 12 Years a Slave (2013), his recent role in The Martian (2015), and his upcoming role in The Secret in Their Eyes coming out this week, Eijofor is coming up strong. Eijofor so far has understood this idea of an everyman role. He can truly make anyone relate to him and his struggle, whatever it may be.

It does not matter if he is playing a framed slave or the Vice Director of NASA, Eijofor delivers on the promise that the man you are watching is someone you could sit down and have a drink with.

Tom Hardy Finally we have one of my favorites: Tom Hardy. He had a series of films and television shows leading up to his big break in Inception (2010). Hardy, since then, has been in fantastic films such as Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011), Warrior (2011), Lawless (2012), and The Dark Knight Rises (2012), with Legend (2015) and The Revenant (2016) coming out soon. He is both the everyman and the exceptional man. He has a gruff and machismo presence to him, but he understands when to showcase bravado and when to showcase subtlety. He always plays wild and ravaged characters who tend to be the smooth talkers or the explosive and violent characters. Hardy is perfect for any action film, even action dramas, that need more of an edge to them.

hanging lights complete the atmosphere. The macaron display takes up one side of the long counter displaying the available varieties. In addition to the stylish set-up, the employees were very friendly and familiar with the menu, offering recommendations that I loved.

On this particular visit to Quickly, they had run out of some of the macarons and a few of the more popular items on the snack menu by the time that I arrived. They were, however, offering a special—buy one milk tea on a list of flavors and get one of the same size free—so I still managed to order more than I could dream of finishing.

We had four small teas for my party of two: jasmine, lychee, earl grey, and coffee, all with boba. The coffee milk tea with regular-sized boba stood out as my favorite of the four; it was

Tars triumph over Lions once more Rollins men’s soccer claimed the game against the Saint Leo Lions, sending them to the next round of NCAA national playoffs.

The Rollins Tars met Saint Leo University for the third time this season to play in the first round of the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament.

Rollins recently beat Saint Leo in the final of the Sunshine State Conference tournament last week, and the Saint Leo Lions were looking to strike back at the most recent game.

Both sides played well in the first half though the Tars dominated. Tosan Popo ‘17 scored the game-opener after a beautiful chip behind the defense from his teammate Alexis Martinez ‘17 in the 25th minute. They remained 1-0 until half time. Saint Leo started the second half running out of the gates. At the 50th minute, Bafou Sanogo equalized by setting the score at 1-1; only two minutes later the Lions were rewarded with a penalty kick.

tain Matt Campbell.

The game went back and forth with both teams having opportunities, most notably when Matt Volk hit the crossbar with a header in the 56th minute. Eventually, Brett Durrance ‘16 hit a stunning first time volley after a cross from Popo to put the Tars up in the 65th minute. It seemed like Rollins would control the game from then on, but the Lions came back for the second time in the game when Campbell made up for his penalty miss by scoring the equalizer in the 72nd minute.

The pace dropped in the final minutes. Durrance scored in the 86th minute following a rebound from Martinez’s header. With help from an enthusiastic crowd, the Tars edged out the game in the last six minutes, prolonging their season with yet another week with the 3-2 win.

The Tars are now in the top 16 in the country and will meet Palm Beach Atlantic next weekend to face off for a spot in the national quarterfinals.
