By Rebecca Harrelson, Staff Writer Published in print Mar. 25, 2015 My specific interests in journalism come into fruition when they are directly applied to Human Rights. That is where I hold almost all of my focus, where I spend most of my conversations with people, and an area in which I hope to improve in my lifetime. I spoke with UNCG Graduate Daniel Foster about … Continue reading The walk is far from over
By Taylor Smith, Staff Writer Published in print Mar. 24, 2015 Many of you may have noticed that this week marks the return of the campus-wide event Humans v. Zombies. I put ‘v.’ instead of ‘versus’ because I would find the game much more entertaining if done in the style of a dramatic courtroom showdown. Instead, the campus is treated to the sight of college … Continue reading Curing a campus pandemic
By Taylor Smith, Staff Writer Published in print Mar. 17, 2015 This week marks the return of students and classes from the week long Spring break. It also signals the return of my weekly ramblings. Actually, I was planning on retiring but so many people from my 3-to-5 reader demographic demanded that I continue. So here I am, and with Spring break still on so many peoples’ … Continue reading Spring Break and those who are left behind
By Katerina Mansour, Staff Writer Published in print Mar. 17, 2015 The majority of us have received those email and text alerts informing us that a crime has occurred or suspicious behavior is being investigated. From attempted robbery to sexual assault, we’ve passively read over multiple warnings that our safety on campus is endangered.

By Katerina Mansour, Staff Writer Published in print Mar. 4, 2015 First off, let me make this title clear to everyone. What I mean by obesity does not equal beauty is that health and beauty have absolutely nothing to do with each other in a purely objective sense. Society, in the United States, has slowly but surely been shifting to a place where people are equating health, … Continue reading Obesity does not equal beauty
By Rebecca Harrelson, Staff Writer Published in print Mar. 4, 2015 As students with the upcoming grand option of a new recreational facility, costing extremely high amounts, we have the option or exercising our bodies in the gym and our minds in the classroom. However the amount of healthy food and drink options on UNCG’s campus is a tad disconcerting. For those who choose to have the … Continue reading New Rec, more important than eating well?
By Taylor Smith, Staff Writer Published in print Mar. 4, 2015 Anyone who has spent more than two minutes walking around campus will know that the university houses a large pantheon of student organizations. We know this because many of us make detours away from the EUC during midday to avoid being bombarded by the recruitment calls of these groups and clubs. I’m sure there are several … Continue reading The Unfairly Rejected Clubs of UNCG
By Molly Ashline, Staff Writer I am not the biggest “Trekkie” who ever lived. I do not know ever episode of Star Trek by heart nor have I mastered the Klingon language. I have, however, been profoundly affected throughout my life by the thoughtful, political and relevant messages of Star Trek. Often the speaker of these messages was Spock, the Vulcan character played by Leonard … Continue reading I’ll meet you in space, Leonard
By Katerina Mansour, Staff Writer Published in print Feb. 25, 2015 In college classrooms and social gatherings we often come across people who make our teeth grind and our blood boil. Chances are, during your time at UNCG you’ve come across people in your classes who could literally drive you mad. Then again, chances are you’ve been that person as well.

By Taylor Smith, Staff Writer Published in print Feb. 25, 2015 By now, pretty much everyone is aware of the aftermath from last week’s blizzard.
