Fisher pounds defense
The last three meetings between St. John Fisher College and UR have featured offensive explosions that led one team to victory. Unfortunately for the Yellowjackets, like last season, it was Fisher's offense that paved the way for the team's 58-32 victory this weekend at the initial Courage Bowl played at Fisher's Growney Stadium.Fisher pounded the […]
Inequalities exposed through natural disaster
As the single most destructive and costly meteorological disaster ever to hit U.S. soil, Hurricane Katrina has created much more than high winds, flooding and property damage. The storm's cultural aftermath exposed a federal government that is unwilling and/or incapable of responding to its citizens' urgent needs. Katrina has shown that the system under which […]
Letters to the Editor
I have to say, I don't understand why Tony Scott, an outspoken conservative, would be criticizing judicial restraint and demanding more activism from the Supreme Court. After all, restraint is exactly what happened in the Kelo decision he attacked in last week's editorial - the Supremes simply said that the limitations on eminent domain were […]
Mean people mar gray, gay world
First, let me preface this article by saying that it is 6 a.m and I am an angry lesbian. I tell you this not so that you can decide to disregard what I have to say, but rather so that you know you should pay close attention. I can't sleep and I'm pissed that of […]
Fair Trade Beans
The great Sheik Abd-al-Kadir once said "No one can understand the truth until he drinks of coffee's frothy goodness." I doubt the average student is thinking as deep thoughts as good ol' Kadir when they are savoring the first sip of that morning coffee while barely conscious or downing that fourth cup at 2 a.m. […]
Who was Susan B.Anthony?
We know she has a dorm named after her that everyone affectionately calls Sue B. We know she is buried somewhere in that really scary graveyard, and we know if she had lived longer she probably would have thought Gloria Steinam was pretty cool. But does anyone really know Susan B. Anthony? What was her […]
Mex disappoints
I went in with the best of intentions. I had been to Mex once during my sophomore year and I remember coming out stuffed and happy. This was a very different feeling than I had when I went earlier this week. To begin with, I probably shouldn't have gone as late as I did. At […]
Student escapes Katrina's wrath
Take Five Scholar Katherine Shen had just finished her summer. For over two months, she had planned a trip to New Orleans in order to spend quality time with friends. Having heard so many amazing stories about Louisiana, she decided it would be worthwhile. "I thought it would be a fun trip - good seafood, […]
Horoscopes
Aries (March 21-April 19) - If your voice is a little hoarse from losing your head at the St. John Fisher game, just remember that a little horse is a pony. And ponies are fun! Taurus (April 20-May 20) - If you know someone new to campus, make sure they feel right at home. Tell […]
Tuesday Night Out' psychs up students
The Fraternity Presidents' Council is providing students a night out without the strings attached. The FPC sponsored Tuesday Night Out provides all members of the community with an opportunity to engage in Greek life without attending a rush event or passing through the doors of the Greek's humble homes. The idea is for underclassmen to […]
