Artisika experience: The club meets salsa

Alison McKan     Staff Writer Saturday nights are Salsa nights at Artistika, a Latin dance club on Elm Street. On Fridays, they have Bachata and ladies get in free.

In defense of Donald Trump

Mark Parent  Opinions Editor On March 15, I will not be voting for Donald Trump. To put it mildly, he’s not a conservative and does not represent my core values. With that being said, if Donald Trump is the republican nominee for president—which is increasingly likely—I will be a full-fledged supporter of his campaign. I mean, seriously, who would ever vote for Hillary Clinton? Throughout … Continue reading In defense of Donald Trump

Why Ted Cruz? The Constitution.

Adam Griffin    Staff Writer This election cycle is the most important since the birth of the millennial generation and perhaps since World War II.

Most liberal millennials, prior to knowing that Senator Bernie Sanders existed, were psyched about the idea of the first female president.

Spartan Sensibilities

Lauren Cherry     Copy Editor Let me start by saying that you should not choose who to vote for based on what they are wearing because there are obviously far more important issues. However, there is no denying that dress speaks volumes about a person. I am currently taking CRS 321, The Social Psychology of Dress in the Consumer Apparel and Retail Studies department. … Continue reading Spartan Sensibilities

Caught in the Middle

The Morality of Voting: Democracy is a Messy Business Emily Bruzzo Editor-in-Chief For me, voting is an issue of morality. I don’t think we should explain away voting as merely a civic duty or exercise or right. When we vote, we are actively working to change our society or to protect its present state. Any decision that impacts the fabric of our social conscience — … Continue reading Caught in the Middle
