By Jonathan Smith, Editor in Chief I'll admit it: Today I left Chapel early. I stood up during what I thought would be the last song, walked down the steps and out into the concourse area. I did it Wednesday too; in fact, I've essentially done this every Wednesday and Friday for the past two years. Not because I don't like praise days or ... [Read More…]

Hurricane Rita–public enemy No. 1
By Jaci Schneider, Copy Editor Much Ado About Something Dear Rita, please go away. We don't want you here; I'm very sorry, but you're not at all welcome.

Free time–gift for the busy student
By Jonathan Smith, Editor in Chief I plan on getting lost Wednesday night or at least certainly by this weekend.

Women, cover it up and keep it real
By Mallory Sherwood, Managing Editor Face the Facts It is a sad day when, by the middle of September, I am already in daily search of the most outrageous dress code violators.

Clearly, the letter was meant for an underclassman, but with no other names and few clues, I am at a loss with what I should do with it. Take a look below and see ... [Read More…]
