Natalie King Publisher Somehow, winter break is right around the corner. This means we are all running on coffee and the small amount of what is left of our motivation to make it through the semester.

A major criticism of … Continue reading The Republican field narrows
Jackson Cooper Staff Writer The best worst decision of my life (so far) was the fourth Peachy Keen Soda. Absolut Peach Vodka, Monin Peach, Peach Schnapps, and club soda—my kind of drink. My friend, for confidentiality reasons we’ll call him “Joe,” was on his fifth glass of Merlot.

Generally speaking, it was considered a victory for conservatism … Continue reading What we can learn from Kentucky and Ohio
Jackson Cooper Staff Writer There are many sinful things you can do in this life. Acts like adultery, gluttony, and poorly-timed sex jokes in meetings are all looked down upon as verboten in society. But if man has the capability to commit adultery after binge eating at a lunch buffet and commenting on the size of his sausage at the office board meeting, … Continue reading Top 5 Pasta Dishes
Mark Parent Opinions Editor Last Tuesday, the longest serving U.S. congressman in North Carolina history sadly passed away after more than 30 years of public service. Howard Coble, a local Greensboro lawyer, was first elected to Congress in 1984 as a part of the Reagan landslide over Walter Mondale.

Natalie King Publisher Happy 2015, everyone — a time in which talking to an inanimate object does not always result in being prompted to seek medical attention. We can navigate, text, call, search and do a number of other tasks without even lifting a finger. What a time to be alive.
