Taylor Allen Editor-In-Chief Usually when I sit down to write an article, I try to infuse humor into my language.

Catie Byrne Features Editor I don’t want to write about the pulse shooting. It hurts to write this. I am physically aching. My eyes are tired, I haven’t slept. I’ve been crying on and off for the past 48 hours. I’m crying right now. I’m fearing for my life, I’m fearing for my safety , I’m fearing for my girlfriend’s safety, I’m fearing for my friends and … Continue reading On the Pulse shooting

Ross Kiefer A&E Editor Art has the unique ability to convey interpretations of reality. This can be done in realistic manners, or an artist can distort an image and challenge what a viewer may see. This week marks the last full week that the Weatherspoon Art Museum will be displaying their exhibit on Abstract Expressionism, where ideas of ‘form’ are played with through art. At … Continue reading Abstractions in the Weatherspoon
Taylor Allen Editor-In-Chief There’s a joke I’ve heard a few variations on over the last semester: ‘if I won the lottery, I’d pay off my student debt, and with the last five dollars I’d go get frozen yogurt’. I laugh every time I hear the joke, and yes, every time I tell it as well. It seems amazing that there are so many students who … Continue reading A better debtor
Catie Byrne Features Editor It happened by sheer coincidence. On the way to the farmer’s market car with my dad, we stumbled upon a radio station that played college acapella group covers of famous songs. After listening to a little over half an hour worth of songs, more than a few covers both struck us as dull or simply not a good song to cover … Continue reading Songs that say: I’m gay

Ross Kiefer A&E Editor It’s Friday night, and you have no plans. One of your friend’s decides you up and says that some chic new band is in town. Of course you’ve never heard of this band, but because you have nothing better to do you decide to venture out to see them. When you meet with your companion you notice that they’re carrying … Continue reading House Shows and Their Pleasantries
Harrison Phipps Opinions Editor Recently, many have taken up arms in the name of social justice. Judgments on proper, ethical treatment of people are being made left and right; but all of it comes with one great concern:unless there is an objective good, bad, right, and wrong, then absolutely nothing dictates any forms of behavior as being proper. The fight for social justice, the … Continue reading Subjectivity in Social Justice
