The Republican perversion of small government

Spencer Schneier   Technology Editor As a Libertarian, I often grow tired of the pseudo-intellectual attacks on free market principles that come from the left. They tend to be weak, hollow and show an uninformed perspective on economic theory. The main argument tossed my way is that Capitalism is exploitative, which is ridiculous considering that the foundation of free market interactions is that they are … Continue reading The Republican perversion of small government

Millennial Moment

Natalie King    Publisher “Ugh, I wish I didn’t have to work!” It’s a statement many of us say on a regular basis. In general, no one particularly loves the part-time work they have to do in high school and/or college in order to pay some bills, but, hey, it’s character building. One of the most common jobs for first-time-job teens is working in a … Continue reading Millennial Moment

Sanders is the best, most unrealistic choice

Katerina Mansour        Staff Writer Bernie Sanders is probably one of the most unexpected, viable candidates for a presidential election in U.S. history; put simply, nobody anticipated that he would get as far as he has. Yet, it appears that millennials are the ones carrying his campaign and possibly one of the only groups of people prepared to elect him to the world’s … Continue reading Sanders is the best, most unrealistic choice

The Pope is wrong about immigration

Mark Parent  Opinions Editor  Early last week, I decided to write on Pope Francis’ decision to hold mass near the Mexico-U.S. border in an effort to show solidarity with migrants. Well, I think it’s safe to say that my plan hit a minor road-bump. As I’m sure many of you have already heard, the Pope hurled some insults in the direction of insult-machine, Donald Trump. … Continue reading The Pope is wrong about immigration

The life and opinions of Justice Antonin Scalia

Adam Griffin    Staff Writer Associate Justice Antonin Scalia of the U.S. Supreme Court is one of the greatest and most influential legal minds of the last century.

Accept it. White privilege exists.

Katerina Mansour         Staff Writer No matter who you are, you have privileges as well as oppressions. Oftentimes, we like to focus a lot on the ways in which we are oppressed, the struggles we face. However, it is critical for us to acknowledge our privilege. Based on factors, such as your race, gender, class, nationality, sexuality, religion, education and more, you … Continue reading Accept it. White privilege exists.

Millennial Moment

Natalie King     Publisher Yeezus, Kanye, how did you get in so much debt? The critically egotistical star has, once again, created quite a scandal.  I have always loathed Kanye West, so hearing this news did nothing but make me chuckle (mean, I know). What could have possible happened in West’s life to acquire such a debt that is nearly equal to his wife’s … Continue reading Millennial Moment

Spartan Sensibilities

Lauren Cherry     Copy Editor Recently, the New York Fashion Week has shifted to a consumer-based model. This decision was announced in December of last year by the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). Having collections available to shop immediately after their runway shows is a drastically different approach from the longstanding fashion week model of showing collections four months in advance of … Continue reading Spartan Sensibilities

Stop stereotyping mental illness

Ailey O’Toole     Staff Writer If I were to say “OCD,” what would come to your mind? Probably your friend who arranges her wardrobe by color, or that guy next to you in class who always has to have two pencils lined up perfectly on his desk, or someone you work with who uses Purell every five minutes during flu season. OCD, the acronym … Continue reading Stop stereotyping mental illness

An interview with U.S. Senate candidate, Sean Haugh

Spencer Schneier        Staff Writer Last week, I had the opportunity to speak to U.S. Senate candidate Sean Haugh. If you haven’t heard of him, that’s quite understandable. He is the Libertarian Party candidate, and as he explained to me, he began his senate campaign in 2014 because he thought it was ridiculous the party wasn’t going to run anybody. Haugh received a … Continue reading An interview with U.S. Senate candidate, Sean Haugh
