Spring Break
Starting this September Mercer will be shortening its semesters from 16 to 15 weeks in length and adding a new three week winter semester in January. There will be no longer a finals week. Mercer has currently a 15 week class schedule and an additional week for testing.
The fate of Mercer's award winning Aviation Program remains unclear. Students, faculty, and members of the public came out to show their support of the program at the February 19 board of trustees meeting. Although the program has faced termination for more than a year, the board still did not vote to end it.
Anti-Semitic graffiti has been found in the men's bathrooms in three buildings on campus. Someone wrote the phrase "What about the good things Hitler did?" in a stall in the men's bathroom in the front entrance of the FA building. Other messages found include swastikas, Satanic Pentagrams, and Nazi salutes.

The house lights are out. The stage lights are on. Students and professors flood the door in masses, dressed from head to toe in beads and flashy colors. But despite the excellent performances, it was the fact that the Late Night Series (LNS) was hosted by the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered, and Friends Club (LGBTF) drove people to the night's entertainment.
December 21, 2012. While the mere mentioning of this date may not conjure up images of hellfire and brimstone, for many it symbolizes a long awaited judgment day. The root of these fears is not the voice of a lone prophet, but rather one of a long departed civilization.
Ten seconds frozen on the clock. Fans from both sides are in complete silence, as number 22 approaches the line. If he misses, Mercer has a chance to rebound and win the game; if he makes it, the Vikings, trailing by four, won't have an opportunity to comeback.
The happy chatter of students, faculty, and staff fills the air. Students of different majors, career paths, and walks of life come here to relax, chat, and light up one more cigarette. The designated smoking zones, affectionately called "huts," "shacks," or even "mangers," foster some of the best social life on campus.
