It’s that time of the year again. We are in the midst of setting our schedules for the following year. Busily trying to meet all of the classes you need to take for colleges, you suddenly realize that you do not have the space to take that extra year of Spanish or the full year of Anatomy and Physiology,...

Women are beginning to take their place in the world. For the first time in the history of the United States, women will hold a majority in the number of college graduates and the population of the labor force.

Presentation girls are savages. About their food. Warriors with an appetite, they are ready to shove and, above all, cut in order to make their way to the front of the line. So is cutting a means of “surviving” the lunch line, or an unfair action? Cutting is a violation of the unspoken rule of waiting... [Read more]

On December 1, 2009, President Barack Obama announced his plans to focus on the war in Afghanistan, adding an additional 30,000 troops over a six-month period. Obama has made it his goal...

Seniors Only Every student that is not a senior wants the senior privilege. They feel it is unfair that only seniors have the privilege of not taking second semester finals if they receive an A in a class. Juniors especially feel annoyed with this because they are upper... [Read more]
Evaluating Evaluations

Kathy O'Neil, asst. opinions editor
Filed under Opinions
Most students love evaluation days. When else do they get to rant about their teachers to someone who has the power to do something about it? There is great satisfaction in marking “seldom” when asked if the teacher demonstrates competence in those classes where you think that the teacher... [Read more]
