For his spring-semester 2012 sabbatical from Bluffton University, Gregg Luginbuhl, a professor and chair of art, committed to creating one new ceramic cup design each day for 100 days.
Starting on Jan. 1, 2012, he finished the process on April 12, inscribing the bottom of each cup with the day it was made. His creations will be on hand not only for viewing, but also for use, on Friday, March 15, when Luginbuhl discusses his sabbatical in “One Hundred Cups: Sips of Art and Life.”

On the Beavers' sixth day down in Florida, they ran into a stiff test from the Moravian Greyhounds. It was low scoring affair as pitching dominated the day and Bluffton dropped only its second game of the season by a score of 4-2.
The Beavers got everything they could ask for and more out of starting pitcher Nate Simonds (Ypsilanti Mich,/Lincoln) who went the complete nine innings. He worked very efficiently, throwing only 102 pitches.
