Columbia should have movies and live theater Maury Lewis writes: I would like to see the Columbian Theater restored as a movie Theater and as a place to have live theater. Plays, singings, pageants,concerts and the list could go on and on. One thing for sure it needs to be restored so it can be used and not just sitting there empty. We need more activity going on downtown to draw people down there day and night then all would profit. -Maury LewisComments above re article 42593 A bold suggestion for downtown Columbia 2011-02-22 10:01:55 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Lindsey Wilson faculty members hold wired meeting Faculty members from school's 23 campuses get together though many of the 100 full-time members attend through videoconferencing By Duane Bonifer The Lindsey Wilson College faculty held its monthly assembly meeting on Monday afternoon in W.W. Slider Humanities Center Recital Hall. And although a total of 71 faculty members attended the meeting, only 58 were in Adair County; the remaining 13 attended the meeting via videoconferencing. Lindsey Wilson has more than 100 full-time faculty members - more than double the number it had 10 years ago - but because the college has 23 community campuses spread out across Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia, not all of them teach on the college's A.P. White Campus. So when faculty members hold their monthly assembly meeting to discuss and vote on academic policy, many of the faculty members are connected via videoconferencing through the Internet. Monday's Faculty Assembly meeting was an example of how the size of the Lindsey Wilson faculty has not simply grown over the last decade but so has its scope, reach and impact. 2011-02-22 01:42:00 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Lindsey Wilson University
