The Editorial Staff The Democratic nomination is officially up for grabs. For nearly three years, the American people were told that Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state, was going to walk uncontested into the Oval Office as the first female president of the U.S. That calculation appears to be dead wrong. According to a pair of recent polls, Bernie Sanders, the self-described democratic socialist … Continue reading Run, Joe, run
Jackson Cooper Staff Writer “What I’ve made for you today is a rustic-style, raspberry reduction, garnished with a smooth roasted peanut spread, spread across a thick slice of white bread with another slice of bread holding the flavors in place.

The issue of gun control is, by all accounts, hyper-partisan and prone to inaction. Yet, in light of frequent mass shootings, it is important to reexamine the arguments surrounding the effectiveness of an assault weapons ban, which is often touted as a panacea to these instances of mass violence. An assault weapons ban, which was the law of the land for an entire decade, would … Continue reading Assault Weapons Ban
Natalie King Publisher Instagram is an alternate universe of pictures, quotes and other rather useless bits of information we millennials likely scroll through 50 times per day.

Spencer Schneier News Editor n Sunday, Bernie Sanders delivered a speech at the Greensboro Coliseum to a crowd of over 9,000 people, outlining his platform in a passionate speech touching on things from racial inequality to health care reform.

Mark Parent Opinions Editor Fourteen years ago, I was sitting in a second-grade classroom wondering why my mom had called me to the office to be picked up early from school. As it turned out, al-Qaeda had attacked the Pentagon, the World Trade Center and even downed a plane in Pennsylvania. Of course, every single one of us knows the rest of the story.
