Emily Bruzzo Editor-in-Chief I’d never seen that look in my dad’s eyes before. He’d always been so stoic. It was a foreign look. It was fear; it was pain; it was anger; it was confusion; it was awe; it was reverence. And he didn’t hide the look from me.

By Chris Nafekh When I entered the Cone Ballroom, I was unsure of what to expect. A few tables were set up with Native American crafts, pottery depicting pale leafs and burgundy animals. I took a seat in a circle of chairs and waited. Suddenly, deep drums began to beat. Loud, inexplicable chanting from the same direction produced an almost primitive scene. A young girl … Continue reading UNCG Celebrates Native American History Month
By Aja Cooper You’re in class most of the day, then you work until six, head home to get some homework done before “Basketball Wives” comes on, but then you remember the only food you have in the house has to be cooked and there’s just no time for that. You hit the drive-thru only to find that they clearly don’t care about your schedule … Continue reading Reality Television is Fantasy for Students
By Matthew Johnson, Sports Editor Published in print Oct. 8, 2014 Perhaps the worst time period in league history from a public relations standpoint, the NFL was as giddy as a child on Christmas morning to begin anew this month after domestic violence scandals were discussed more than the actual games. Though, once again this month, the league takes a hit as one of its … Continue reading FCC rightfully blackouts NFL’s TV policy
