Undefeated in ODAC play, tennis Tigers look to rout Generals and claim another crown

With the ODAC Tournament quickly approaching, the Tennis Tigers have one thing on their minds: making it reign.  After capturing last year’s crown and dominating the ODAC this season, the Tigers certainly look poised to capture back-to-back ODAC titles.  Standing in their way will be the Generals of Washington & Lee, who look for revenge against the Tigers.
The Tennis Tigers have an undefeated, 9-0 conference record.  That 9-0 record combined with last year’s win streak means that …

Despite straw poll win, picking Romney could rob Republicans of ammo in 2012
It’s barely four months into 2010 and the Republican field of presidential candidates for the 2012 general election is already taking shape. Straw polls of potential candidates are being conducted at various conferences around the country. The most recent straw poll took place at the Southern Republican Leadership conference in New Orleans on April 10. The winner of the poll is a familiar face, former Massachusetts Governor and 2008 presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Mitt made noise in 2008 …

 
 
On the afternoon of Friday, April 2, 2010, the campus of Hampden-Sydney College was quiet—a number of students had departed to their homes either to observe the Easter or just to spend the weekend with their families. The hall of Crawley Forum, however, was lit up with impressive exhibitions and cultural performances given by international students from this campus and others. The event that was taking place was the H-SC International Club’s 3rd annual International Festival. 
Dubbed as “Celebrate the World,” the yearly festival lived up to its expectations. From the …

With 7 wins since spring break, Tigers stand ready at #3 in conference to pounce for title
 
 
Coming off of a Spring Break trip that included two losses, the Tigers’ 6-5 record did not look very impressive. However, the trip seems to have ignited Coach Kinne’s offense and Hampden-Sydney is 7-1-1 since returning to the Hill. The most impressive thing about the Tigers’ hot streak is that during their past eight games, the team is averaging almost 11 runs scored. Granted, college baseball is always going to be high scoring because …

Things were looking great for the Hampden-Sydney lacrosse team as they took on #8 Roanoke on March 20th. The game was tied at 6 at halftime and the Tigers were hanging right with the Maroons. However, Roanoke came out looking like a different team in the 2nd half and outscored the Tigers 16-4 and went on to a 22-10 victory.
To put it bluntly, the second half was embarrassing for the Tigers. It was a beautiful Saturday and we were sticking right with one of the best teams in the country. …

With organization, the Tea Party could become a lasting force in our political landscape
For the first time in a long time, the American political landscape has the potential to be something other than a two party system. The conservatively-principled “Tea Party” is gaining momentum as a political movement. Tea Party rallies take place all over the country and have been happening more frequently as people feel the need to publicly vent frustrations over “Obamacare.” While there is no “official” doctrine of the Tea Party, there are many similarities between Libertarians …

While most Tigers were scattered throughout the country and beyond for Spring Break, the Lax Tigers stayed close to home. Coming off of back-to-back losses to nationally ranked Gettysburg and Carbini, Hampden-Sydney needed to gain some confidence heading into conference play and they did just that. The first Saturday of Spring Break the team headed up to the nation’s capital to take on Marymount. The game was tied 5-5 in the third quarter but the Tigers quickly put their opponents away. Senior captain Kyle Jett led the way with 4 …

 
The last three years of Hampden-Sydney Tennis have been very successful, much of which can be attributed to three time ODAC Player of the year Will Moss. However, this year Moss has a supporting cast which is as strong as ever. His co-captain and doubles partner Rich Pugh “will look to dominate ODAC play as the top #2 guy in the conference,” according to Moss. Moss went on to praise the rest of the top 6 on the team, demonstrating his leadership as well as his confidence in his teammates. …

P-Groove, Tea Leaf Green, and Jesse Chong Band to hit the Lagoon in April
They’re calling it a festival this year. You’re gonna get three bands and over four hours of music for the laughable priwce of $10.00. What’s more, you’re going to watch a rare battle between some of the festival circuit’s hardest jamming bands. Energy and intensity will be flooding The Lagoon this year. You see, each of these bands will likely try to “one-up” the others, and at the end of the night, don’t be surprised if you …
