 Students gathered to listen to and debate Brother Matt’s message outside Havener last Thursday and Friday
Standing outside the Havener Center, Brother Matt informed passersby of their current post-mortem destinations. He was accompanied by those who enjoy arguing their points of view, those who rebelled in serious and humorous manners, and those who just stood silently listening to the speeches. Brother Matt surely attracted crowds whether they liked him or narrowed their eyes in his direction. In some way or another, everyone either heard from or heard of Brother Matt.

 In this great land of ours, there are certain clauses and phrases that aim to create a sense of national pride. “Live free or die,” the state motto of New Hampshire and “The people rule,” state motto of Arkansas, are amongst the few.

The girls were hosting St. Joseph’s this weekend in a Sunday double-header. The ladies knew they needed a sweep to land them a higher seed for the upcoming GLVC tournament and they were able to do just that.
Early on, the girls were powered by their seniors, a rousing salute to the Senior Day festivities; however, as the day wore on, Missouri S&T’s depth proved to be their strength as contributions from underclassmen helped to fuel the sweep.
The girls were able to pick up game one after a 2-2 tie-breaking, five-run sixth giving the Miners a decisive 7-2 victory. This was all an ode to their ability to hit the ground running. From the start, the girls strung together multiple-hit series. In the first, the Miners earned back to back to back hits as Kandi Wieberg, Rachel Wilkinson and Kelsey Musselman all connected. Then after Kassi Deibert grounded out, a Katie Smith single pushed up a score of 2-0 for the Miners; the Pumas responded in-kind in the third knotting-up the whole game at 2-2.
