  • Roll on, Etta Express – The Pioneers Baseball team was recently selected as the 19th best team in the country.  The pre-season poll, assembled by the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, placed OAC for Heidelberg #14 in the polling.  Wooster, the team that won the 2009 Mideast Regional Tournament over Marietta, was ranked #2 in the nation, behind #1 St. Thomas of Minnesota.  The Etta Express will start its season in Memphis, TN over Spring Break.
  • New VP Of Student Life – With the retirement of Lon Vickers this last semester, we now welcome Dr. Robert Pastoor, the new Vice President of Student life at Marietta College.  Dr. Pastoor has more than 25 years of experience in student life thanks to time spent at the University of San Diego, Carroll College, and Mount St. Mary’s University.  Dr. Pastoor will start around January 18.
  • Do I Hear Whistling? – Don’t forget that the Harlem Globetrotters are stopping in at Marietta College on January 26.  Doors open at 6 PM, and the game starts at 7 PM in Ban Johnson Arena on Fenton Court.  Tickets for Marietta College students, staff, and faculty are $19.  Tickets are $22 for the general public, and can be purchased at any People’s News location in Belpre, Marietta, and Parkersburg.  If you’re more the online type, tickets can be purchased at www.ticketweb.com.
  • CUB Events Now Known – Well, they wern’t very public about it, but the College Union Board has dates and times posted for all of their music, comedy, and tournament events for the Spring.  You can find them on our master calendar, along with all the Basketball and Baseball Games and other college events.  CUB’s first musical act of 2010 is The Heyday, a band from Denver that is currently touring the nation.  They are currently allowing their CD to be downloaded for free online, so check it out and come out for the concert.  They’ll be playing Friday the 15 at The Gathering Place at 8 PM.  CUB Comedy kicks of with Mike Winfield on Saturday the 16, also at The Gathering Place, at 9 PM.  As mentioned before, for a full schedule, check out the Writing on the Mall calendar and watch for pieces highlighting the acts.
