Golden Key introduces honorary member
Pepperdine’s chapter of the Golden Key International Honor Society introduced visiting communication professor Dr. Winfred Allen as an honorary member Monday.
Approximately 150 students attended the induction ceremony as the Martin Sheen look-alike gave the keynote addresss.
“I’m very honored to be chosen by the young scholars of Pepperdine,” Allen said. “Even as an honorary member I’d like to take an active part.”
Pep student has a confession about Dashboard
Walking through Alumni Park and watching the sunset by herself, senior Tricia Smithson was stopped by a cute guy she didn’t know.
The guy with wild, curly hair was Johnny Lefler, the guitar and piano player for the rock band Dashboard Confessional, who performed at the Firestone Fieldhouse Sunday.
“I was on my cell phone and this guy intercepted me and asked me where he could find a good place to eat,” Smithson said. “I told him Marmalade and he asked me to join him.”
Smithson went to dinner with Lefler.
“I didn’t even know he was part of the band until halfway through our conversation,” Smithson said.
After their meal, Smithson dropped off Lefler at his tour bus. The two met up again after the show and talked.
“Dinner was fun and he’s a really down-to-earth guy,” the English major said. “He gave me his e-mail address before he left.”
Will there be a second date? Only Smithson can tell.
