Krysten Heberly Staff Writer It is evident that the people of America are in search of a change from the kinds of politics that we have been seeing for decades now. Phrases like “political revolution” have become standard when discussing the ideal government, and our deviation from electoral norms became evident with the popularity of both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders during the 2017 election. … Continue reading Nancy Hell-no-si
Andrew Oliver Staff Writer The 1980s are back. With the advent and popularity of television shows like “Stranger Things,” planned remakes of ‘80s films like “A Nightmare on Elm Street” and a massive revival of new ‘80s-style music (Synthwave and Retrowave as they’re often called), it seems like the decadent decade is taking over once again. Is this just a fun style or fad, or … Continue reading Don’t Believe the Glitter of the ‘80s
James Ross Kiefer Editor-in-Chief In his State of the Campus address, Chancellor Gilliam had this to say, “It’s time for us now to take some giant steps toward making our great university the best it can possibly be.” So where do students with disabilities fit into these “giant steps?” Something that UNCG needs to address is it’s doing a fairly poor job in accommodating students … Continue reading Getting Stepped On in UNCG’s Giant Steps
Patrick O’Connell Staff Writer In this age of technological miracles, political turmoil and global catastrophes, it’s hard to have any hope for the world.

I won’t speak of sweater weather or complain about leggings, or the crisp autumnal morns that make you feel like one of the non-poets in “The Dead Poets Society.” No, I’m going to … Continue reading The Pumpkin Spice is a Lie
Cason Ragland Staff Writer Planning essays is for dorks and nerds and even if I did plan this essay out then I would’ve been very hasty about it. I didn’t think twice about my thesis and to be honest I don’t think I really need to. By the end of any semester I’m always certain that procrastination is my most well executed and useful technique. … Continue reading Satirist’s Corner – The Benefits of Procrastination
Brianna Wilson Staff Writer The language we are using to discuss DACA recipients and their families is one that privileges innocence while condemning people based on race. We assume the worst of those parents when many Americans, especially those who supported the termination of DACA, have never feared for the lives and futures of their children. Who are we to judge them when we know … Continue reading A Nation of Immigrants is Who We Are
