The zombie craze gripping the nation has not left Luther unscathed. Humans vs. Zombies, a game of hunter and prey, came to campus in October and left dozens of casualities in its wake.

Students seeking help or feedback on their school work have a good resource on hand in the form of the Student Academic Support Center.

If you take a walk through the CFL gallery in the next months, you won’t be greeted with Iowa landscapes or still life paintings. The new exhibition that was installed Oct. 25 features subject matter that is both timely and hits close to home: the people of the Postville raids.
Titled “Postville: Games, Apparitions and Mementos,” the exhibit features drawings and paintings by Craig Ede and feltwork by Lana Suomala. The artists worked separately, creating art that illuminated the hardships and often inhumane treatment of the immigrants that were living in Postville. Their work was brought together by Art Gallery Coordinator David Kamm.
“This show is interesting because it is so clearly directed towards life events,” Kamm said. “It’s using art as a vehicle to address other issues.”

As the temperature drops, most of us decline outdoor Frisbee golfing, running or biking and begin relaxing inside by the heaters. However, just because many activities are limited to 70 degree and sunny weather doesn’t mean you have to spend all winter twiddling your chilly thumbs. Luther offers a wide variety of wintry weather going-ons, whether you are looking to keep active, dabble in some culture or simply socialize.
If you wish to remain active this winter but find it too cold to brave the outdoors, there are plenty of activities to keep you fit, no matter your taste in exercise. Beyond the Legends Fitness Center, there are plenty of classes and intramurals in which to take part. All are aimed at giving a work out in an enjoyable way.
