Between 1991 and 1994 the band did a lot of touring, even performing in Europe and making tours in Germany and Romania. After their last tour in 1994, the band split up. Virgil later started his own band WiReTRiPn, with which he self-released in 2001 the album ''Midnight in the Robot Factory'' via [[online music|online retailer]] [[Internet Underground Music Archive|IUMA]]<ref name="history">{{cite web |url= http://wiretripn.com/wire/discography.php |title= WiReTRiPn discography |accessdate= 2008-08-14 |publisher= Industrial Audio |archiveurl= http://web.archive.org/web/20050906060010/http://wiretripn.com/wire/discography.php |archivedate= 2005-09-06}}</ref><ref name="historyiuma">{{cite web |url= http://www.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/WiReTRiPn/ |title= WiReTRiPn |accessdate= 2008-08-14 |last= Hibbs |first= Virgil |publisher= [[Internet Underground Music Archive]] |archiveurl= http://web.archive.org/web/20041031083210/http://www.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/WiReTRiPn/ |archivedate= 2004-10-31}}</ref>.


I spent some two hours one day adding a long section on traditions, only to have Windows restart while I was out of the room, trashing the whole thing. Here are the topics that I think deserve addition:
=== Subhuman Minds ===
* Sing Song. (history, definition - a cappella ensemble performances + divisions + host/hostess role, the 50th anniversary, time of year, possibly a picture)

* Spring Break Campaigns

* Chapel

Also, the Study Abroad programs are not mentioned -- in fact, none of its programs are mentioned, even though the College of Business Administration has received many awards and (IIRC) been named in regional lists of good business schools. There is no mention whatsoever of the graduate programs, and this is a school that offers '''doctorates'''.

Don't get me wrong -- I hate when articles on universities turn into public relations pieces. I'm simply saying that much of what is noteworthy about the school by a neutral POV standard is absent here.[[User:Lawikitejana|Lawikitejana]] 20:28, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

With their second album '''''Slash and Burn''''', released in 1993, they slowly moved into a more [[heavy metal music|metal]]-influenced style, while trying to retain much that made their first album work. Originally release on Cheetah's Majii label, it was licensed by Hyperium for Germany and by [[Devotion Records]] for the U.K.<ref>American [http://www.discogs.com/release/193780 Cheetah], German [http://www.discogs.com/release/620005 Hyperium] and British [http://www.discogs.com/release/703728 Devotion] releases on [[Discogs]].</ref>


I agree with the person above who noted how much is missing from the current article. Where are the sections about "Student Life" and "Academics" and "Rules" and things like that? Maybe someone more familiar with the school could add these? Look at [[Pepperdine University]], [[Harding University]], and [[Lipscomb University]] for models.

Mission statement

RE: "Mission Statement" vs. "Mission statement"

Isn't "Mission Statement" a proper noun, a particular name of a type of document? - Rlvaughn 00:59, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Content suggestions

I spent some two hours one day adding a long section on traditions, only to have Windows restart while I was out of the room, trashing the whole thing. Here are the topics that I think deserve addition:

  • Sing Song. (history, definition - a cappella ensemble performances + divisions + host/hostess role, the 50th anniversary, time of year, possibly a picture)
  • Lectureship. (history, definition, the 2006 change from fall to spring)
  • Social clubs. (description of concept, distinguish from fraternities/sororities, list of active clubs)
  • Spring Break Campaigns
  • Chapel

Also, the Study Abroad programs are not mentioned -- in fact, none of its programs are mentioned, even though the College of Business Administration has received many awards and (IIRC) been named in regional lists of good business schools. There is no mention whatsoever of the graduate programs, and this is a school that offers doctorates.
