Indian Taco Fundraiser

By: Isabel Rosales-Aparicio      From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on November 13th Cameron Baptist Collegiate Ministries (BCM) held their annual Indian Taco Sale at the BCM building. Upon walking in the aroma of fry bread fills the room as people are bustling about as they begin to prepare for customers. As you walk through the hallway a cashier is sitting to the left ready to take orders and give receipts. In the middle of the room six-foot tables were placed with chairs. BCM students are standing to the side ready to serve toppings on the orders. BCM director Danny Toombs is in the kitchen making sure everything is set in place before customers arrive. Each plate cost ten dollars and comes with an Indian Taco, a drink, and a dessert. This event has been held for five years.       The fundraiser is held every year to help raise money for the summer mission trip the BCM goes on every year. The mission trip is either in North American trip or a International trip. They partner with the Internati

Trick or Trivia

By: Cade Taylor       At 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 26 the Programming Activities Council (PAC) continued its festivities for their week of fun with a Halloween event of Trick or Trivia, a contest hosted by Scott Alexander via Zoom.       The event consisted of four rounds of fifteen questions, with first-place winning seventy-five dollars and second place winning fifty dollars in each round.       The grand total amount awarded to students throughout the night was five hundred dollars!       Because the event was via Zoom, participants had to answer questions on their phones, and points were determined by how fast contestants responded to each question.       Most questions were simple Halloween facts that most people know, but occasionally, a tricky question slipped in the mix. The original name of candy corn, the original name of the Hocus Pocus film, and whether a pumpkin is classified as a fruit or vegetable are some examples of the head-scratchers. It turns out, pumpkins are a fruit!
