ALBION, Mich. - Bluffton received another stellar effort from its hurlers at Albion College, but the Britons scored a run in the bottom of the eighth and made it hold up as the home team pulled out an exciting 3-2 victory on Tuesday, March 17, 2015. Bluffton dropped to 7-5 on a day when its four-game winning streak was snapped, while Albion improved to 6-2 on the season.
From 1999-2014, 76 unarmed black men and women were shot or otherwise killed in U.S. locations other than Ferguson, Missouri, according to Dr. Walter Paquin, a Bluffton University faculty member.
“So why has Ferguson become the flashpoint when this has occurred in so many places?” asked the assistant professor of social work, referencing the Aug. 9, 2014, shooting death of Michael Brown at a campus colloquium March 13. “I believe it is the result of years of pent-up frustration and ongoing harassment at multiple levels.”
Tickets are available for the final performance in the 2014-15 Bluffton University Artist Series, by husband-and-wife illusionists Kevin and Cindy Spencer at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 9.
Bluffton University will celebrate 100 years of May Day theatrical performances with five mini-shows in one from April 30-May 2.
Tickets are on sale for the May Day-weekend production of “The Musical of Musicals: The Musical!” an affectionate parody of musical theatre greats by Eric Rockwell and Joanne Bogart.
