By Sarah Carlson, Arts Editor I Am The Enemy The Thanksgiving that changed my life came in 2000. Five years ago today on the rainy, bleak Saturday before Thanksgiving, I went to the grocery store to buy curl-enhancing shampoo and red lipstick and stood behind an old man in line, listening as he told me about days gone by. I left with a smile on ... [Read More…]
Pat Robertson disgraces Christians once again
The residents of Dover, Penn., lost their right to prayer Thursday, according to one man. Pat Robertson, religious broadcaster and former presidential candidate, spoke to Dover residents on his national television show, 700 Club: "I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: If there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God. You just ... [Read More…]
Nona offers valuable change of view
By Mallory Sherwood, Managing Editor Face the Facts I made a new friend this week named Nona. She doesn't come from a background like mine, and she doesn't even know where Ohio is. Nona's mom died of cancer when she was young, and she loves dogs so much it makes her that she doesn't have one. She has two older foster sisters, and both are ... [Read More…]
Recycle to end the wasteful cycle
Walking into any classroom on campus, one can see varieties of refreshment; from M&Ms to Mountain Dew to Big Macs to green tea, college students are often eating on the run. But what do these students do with all of the wrappers, aluminum cans, bottles and other trash generated by the throw-away, convenience-driven culture in which they are ... [Read More…]
Student filmmakers express concern about future FilmFests
FilmFest is an event that, in its short two-year tenure, has already created quite a buzz. Many students get dressed nice and attend the now-annual event at the Paramount each year. FilmFest is a special event, but could also use some improvement. FilmFest brings back alumni, high profile judges and gets a wide variety of students and faculty ... [Read More…]
Gay marriage voting evokes political tension
Many Texans of all political affiliations will vote Tuesday on amending the Texas Constitution on gay marriage. As disputes among the church rapidly risde during this time of indecision, political tension naturally rises amid these disagreements. Tuesday, Texans will vote on Proposition 2, a state constitutional amendment that defines marriage as ... [Read More…]
Student says Christ-centered social clubs do exist
I am not a fan of blanket statements, so I was very disappointed when a letter to the editor on Wednesday included a blanket statement. The letter assumes that every club falsely plays the "Jesus card" and has nothing to do with Christ. I admit that many clubs on campus do not project themselves in a good light, especially in light of recent ... [Read More…]
Column Like I See ‘Em: Fall brings thoughts of new roommates
By Steve Holt, Opinion Editor I love Fall (whatever that means in West Texas). Fall is typically characterized by football, sweatshirts, looking forward to Thanksgiving break, and in many university residence halls, that slow-burning, passive-aggressive tension that exists between non-compatible freshman roommates. Some of you freshmen know what ... [Read More…]
College habits are real world crimes
By Jaci Schneider, Copy Editor Much Ado About Something Think before you commit a crime, and if you're going to buy a lottery ticket using stolen funds, at least use cash. Last week a woman from a town near my home in Oregon was arrested for using a stolen credit card to purchase a winning lottery ticket. She won $1 million but could wind up ... [Read More…]
Beliefs should come from research, conviction
"We want our people to stay white - we don't want to just be, you know, a big muddle. We just want to preserve our race." This statement is so shocking that some might have trouble accepting the fact that someone actually made this statement only a few weeks ago. Even more disheartening: these words were uttered by 13-year old girls. Lamb and ... [Read More…]
