How many of us can say that we've attended a Hendrix athletics home game this semester? Last year? Ever? The sad truth is that that number is abysmally low. It seems that most students at Hendrix swell with pride and school spirit, but where is that school spirit when it comes to athletics? Junior Micah Graf often asked himself the same questions, and the answers he found frustrated him.
"This year's team is easily the best I have had in my four years at Hendrix, and most definitely one of the best I have ever coached," said head coach Jim Evans. Having been a coach for 35 years at division one schools such as Hartford and Connecticut, Coach Evans is more than experienced enough to make such a claim.
It was the running joke back at my high school that the Jews would ‘one day conquer the world, and enslave those who once enslaved them.' Unfortunately for us Jews, we represent a scant half of a percent of the population in the United States. There's about 1.5 million, and even fewer in the South. Yet the Jewish people have had an invaluable impact on American culture—from the foods we eat, to the jokes we tell, to the way we interact as a society.
