Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Bynes are well known for a number of catchy songs and classic movies. But more recently their fame, or infamy, has come from the tabloids reporting their all too familiar scandals. A fairly new target of public ridicule and obsession is Miley Cyrus. After her performance at the VMAs, there's no arguing ... [Read More…]
For the sake of spirit, it’s a matter of pride
Wildcat football will make its season debut tomorrow evening, donning their new Div. I standing, new uniforms and hopefully, a different student body of supporters. Cheerleaders are having to work overtime for a school spirit overhaul, trying to raise a brio barometer currently at a dwarfan degree. Before the semester started, the Big Purple ... [Read More…]
Keeping traditions: A letter to freshmen
It's the start of another new school year, and there are plenty of bright-eyed and eager new faces walking these hallowed halls.

After a late night of homework, watching movies, playing Xbox or staying out with friends, the last thing anyone wants to do is wake up for an early class. At the beginning of the semester it's easy to skip a class here and there. However, as ... [Read More…]
Kim Jong-un picking unecessary fights
In 1948, a political disagreement in Korea caused a split between North and South.
