Into Darkness, the best Star Wars movie

  Josh Wartena, Opinions Editor, [email protected]   No, that’s not a typo, I said Star Wars. First off, if you haven’t seen Star Trek Into Darkness, go fix that problem, then come back. Ok, did you like it? Of course you did.   J.J. Abrams’ second Star Trek film is amazing, and not just because […]

    Nick Boyer, writer, [email protected]   Evolution. That is the key to survival. Species get it. Companies get it. Churches get it. Conspiracy theorists get it. The Republican Party is slowing relearning it with reaching out to the ever-growing minority population that votes.   It seems apparent to me that life keeps going based […]

Donald Trump, True American

schedule 1 min read

I wrote this because of a tweet that Mr. Trump sent out in response to the re-election of Barack Obama. He called out for a revolution. I was deeply offended that an American citizen would dare ask for a revolution after witnessing the democratic process in all its wonder. I can’t really say much about […]

I don’t really have much to say about this story. I love Reddit. It’s as simple as that. I enjoy learning new things when I browse it. Reddit does have some undesirable areas and people, but I avoid those and it’s just fine. I wanted to share my enjoyment of Reddit with my fellow students. […]

A Teaspoon of Immigration reform Obama style

schedule 1 min read

This was one of my favorite stories of the year because of the work it took to get it written. Our former Managing Editor, now Editor-in-Chief Vanessa Perkins wrote this piece. It took a lot of convincing to get her to even consider writing for my section, seeing as how she is a news girl. […]

Athiest’s Moral Dilemmas

schedule 1 min read

I wrote this after butting heads with my Editor-in-Chief frequently about our religious differences. It was my first attempt at something new in the Opinions section, the Vs. topics. I was very proud of what I accomplished with those throughout the semester. This one ended up being one of the most popular stories of the […]

I was looking for content when my assistant Faith told me her husband would like to write something. Little did I know this story would generate the most feedback that I had ever received about a story, including the parent of a student coming in and presenting Jon and I with a letter about the […]

The sex talk, part 2: The premarital exam

April 15, 2013

schedule 1 min read

This story, another by the wonderful Vanessa Perkins, was very interesting to me. I had no idea that premarital exams existed, let alone what they were. As Vanessa and I talked more about it I figured it would make a good story, and asked her to write it for me. Sexual health has always been […]
