Raising Congress' pay gives more opportunities to future legislators

Mike Smith June 8, 2016

Don’t call me an evangelical

Will Sorrell May 3, 2016

I did it

Sehar Ezez May 2, 2016

I’ve really struggled to think of what I could write in my senior column. As I look to my peers taking gorgeous senior pictures by Denny Chimes and posting their post-grad plans, I’ve felt less than...

A frightening reflection I didn’t want to see

Matthew Gillham May 2, 2016

I used to cross the quad every morning, grotesquely navigating the sidewalks that seem to point in every direction except the one that I was going, and thank God for letting me attend this University....

A recipe for lemonade

Halle Lindsay May 2, 2016

Beyonce’s Lemonade is poetic and strategic. It aims to illustrate the grasp of freedom in the midst of adversity and reconciliation in spite of pain. In essence, the story of the black woman. Through...

Somewhat misanthropic? reflections of a continuing confusion

Abigail Thompson May 2, 2016

I’ve pretty much been confused since the day I arrived on this campus. I’d venture so far as to say I’m even confused about what I’m confused about, and what’s more - I’m not entirely convinced...
