That pattern does not stop me from trying to convince him to go to a place like Little Caesars, Dominos, and Hungry Howies (but not Pizza Hut because … Continue reading June has been One of the Best Months of Sports

In the aftermath of terror
Taylor Allen Editor-In-Chief Usually when I sit down to write an article, I try to infuse humor into my language. One of the fastest ways to get someone to listen to you is to make them laugh, after all. But today I am out of quips and witty phrases; humor has been in short supply since I woke up on Sunday morning and first read about the Pulse … Continue reading In the aftermath of terror

One makes the judgment that … Continue reading Moral Agency in Legislation
Abstractions in the Weatherspoon

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
A better debtor
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’.
