Lions and the draft

Tue, April 22, 2008 @ 7:26AM The National Football League draft is coming up this weekend. Who do you think the Lions should pick. Detroit has the 15th pick in the draft. Do you think the Lions should pick an offensive or defensive player. Or do you think that General Manager Matt Millen will mess this up too.

First Fusion Fest? Fantastic!

Mon, April 21, 2008 @ 12:19PM By all accounts, Finlandia University's inaugural Fusion Fest was a success. The event, held this past Sunday at the FU's Portage Campus, had a dual purpose. First to highlight the arts and crafts scene at the Hancock school and secondly to raise money to send students to the Self-Employment in the Arts Conference in Chicago. In this era of ever-tightening budgets, kudos go to FU faculty member Denise Vauderville who is credited with coming up with the idea. Creative fund raising is becoming more and more important and it seems Fusion Fest did the job. But perhaps more important was the event's job of putting Finlandia students, and their art, on display. The day featured great local music acts and demonstrations of various arts and crafts. It was the kind of event we can only hope to see more of.
