The D.B. Johnson Society Tribute

The D.B. Johnson Society Tribute is, without a doubt, one of the most underestimated pieces on campus. Needless to say, I never actually knew there was a story behind such a dedication. The Little Chapel itself is a very quaint and peaceful piece of campus that includes many historical attributes of the university including the chapel itself and the D.B. Johnson Bust. 

I was fortunate enough to have Mr. Walter Hardin be my tour guide of sorts on my quest to acquire knowledge about Winthrop's tribute. It was harder than I thought to capture enough pictures to accommodate for the amount of history I was told, but nonetheless, I enjoyed every minute of my journey. The most interesting piece of information concerning my research is the fact that this tribute and a large amount of Winthrop function through just one building for a good bit of years. That building was Tillman Hall; ironically enough, Tillman is hardly visited by students on a daily or even weekly basis.

College students share opinions on mainstream artists

If there's anything that college students take extreme interest in, it's music. How many of us have actually sat back and analyzed if the music we listen to is actually worth anything? 

Well, quite obviously it has to be worth something since according to BGR, nearly $5.9 billion was spent on purchasing online music in 2010. How much of the music we spend our hard earned dollars and cents are could be considered timeless? Twenty years from now, will we stop and reminisce over the genius behind Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball"? 

Emily Fitzgerald, sophomore English major proved that today's music is more of a fad than anything when she admitted that she really stick to listening to older music. After minutes of thought, one artist in particular stuck out to her. "Demi Lovato has a very classic voice and years from now, it will be considered good." 

Ironically enough, others chose bands and artists that aren't really household names as worthy of being considered classic. "Imagine Dragon became a big hit artist in 2013. Mumford and Sons could also be in the running because of their classic folk sound."
