Why Halloween will never be the same

Filed under Columns, Community, Halloween, Special

As a kid, there was nothing like Halloween. Not only was it the one day I could walk out of the house dressed as a mermaid without my mom telling me to go back inside and put on “real clothes,” but it was the day I could drown myself in sugar and no one would think twice. My mom would hand-make my ... Read more »

The legitimacy of the United States’ military activity abroad is an issue that has been on my mind quite a lot lately, and the recent bombing of a Doctors Without Borders hospital by the Air Force has helped to make something clear to me. We need to start thinking of our political and military leaders... Read more »

We’ve officially come to the worst part of the semester: the middle. Looking back on the eight weeks we’ve (finally) completed, it seems as though this semester has been going on for a lifetime. But looking forward is even worse because there’s the terrible realization that we’re only halfway... Read more »

Hal Holbrook has been seventy years old for the last sixty years. Holbrook’s two-hour, one-man show as Mark Twain began in 1954 when he was in college. Since then, he has not stopped. His show “Mark Twain Tonight!” went to Broadway and eventually toured the world. Last Sunday, Hal Holbrook took... Read more »

Nieszczur: If I controlled UT’s budget

By now, we should all know that money doesn’t grow on trees. We have to scrimp, save, work and take out loans to afford our education and living expenses. It’s obvious that tuition takes a large chunk of our money, and it’s only normal to expect our money to be put to good use. As with anything,... Read more »

Lutz: In need of new legislation

Next month Ohioans will vote on the legalization of marijuana. Now as open-minded, freedom-loving college students, this idea probably sounds exciting. As we hear about the millions of dollars that Colorado has made and already put back into the state, it’s easy to fantasize about smooth, pothole-free,... Read more »

Heidenescher: Vegetarianism is about more than animal rights

Joe Heidenescher, Features editor

Filed under Columns, Opinion

As much as I love Morrissey and his music, I have to admit, he’s batshit crazy. He is one of those vegans that puts a very intimidating face on the movement. The former lead singer of the Smiths has even gone far enough to say that eating meat is equivalent to rape, violence and murder — comparing... Read more »

Latz: My experience with resume building

Latz: My experience with resume building

Olivia Latz, Opinion Columnist

Filed under Columns, Opinion

The main goal in college is to become educated in what you want to become; however, sitting in a classroom is not enough to get a job. When I was researching future positions, I looked at job descriptions and a lot of jobs require two to three years of prior experience. I thought that was insane, especially... Read more »

  Playing the roles of both a student and teacher as per my Ph.D. student status, I have found that trying to retain knowledge without active participation is like trying to comprehend a math problem after having your professor demonstrate it on the board versus attempting the problem yourself... Read more »

Sennett: What is 16-millimeter film and why should we care?

Evan Sennett, IC Columnist
September 30, 2015
Filed under Columns, Opinion

The modern conveniences of Blu-ray discs, DVDs and even streamable videos has obscured the importance of 16-millimeter film. With a super-abundance of digital media, reels of 16-mm film have been collecting dust in the corners of forgotten classrooms, churches and university storage closets. While digital... Read more »

Abayateye: The death sentence on the street

Filed under Columns, Opinion

I felt terrified seeing the blue, flashing police lights in my rearview mirror as I was pulled over last Saturday night. I was pulled over after the victory over Iowa State for driving without my lights on. It’s ironic how much fear we have of the same institution that should make us safe. We expect... Read more »

Nieszczur: The words I don’t say enough to my best friend

There are few things in life better than the comfort of a best friend. They are there for us when we need them, always up for a good time and no matter the distance, they always show they care. I can guarantee someone’s face just popped into your mind as you read that. For me, that person is Alexis... Read more »
