Election frames four years at LC for class of ’08
by Stephanie Beechem on April 18
For our class, changes on campus started small. We transitioned from introductory courses and surveys to more advanced classes that would lead to majors and maybe even career trajectories. We transitioned from “gatherings” in the dorm to “gatherings” at the flagpole and at off-campus houses until classes, jobs, internships, athletics, research projects, abroad semesters (over 60 percent of our class went on one), volunteering, student clubs, and, finally, thesis projects stole every available moment.No comments • Permalink

Sustainability is Sexy: But what does that actually mean?
by Megan Nuss on April 18
Sustainability is not some final, standardized result that can be implemented across the nation. It’s not a top-down approach to set “greener” practices. It has to do with asking what I want to sustain, what you want to sustain, and what our faculty and staff want to sustain. It’s about getting community stakeholders together (that’s you) to talk about a common vision, and to find connections where we didn’t see them before.No comments • Permalink

by Helen Hunter on April 18
Moustaches: dangerous or debonair?

But upon further investigation, I've realized that the moustache is the Russian roulette of facial hair.No comments • Permalink

The Fighting Hamster
by Matt Savage on April 4
"I know there are some people who want to shut this down, and I think they are wrong. I have no intention of stopping until we finish what we started and until we see what happens in the next 10 contests and until we resolve Florida and Michigan. And if we don't resolve it, we'll resolve it at the convention -- that's what credentials committees are for." -Hillary ClintonNo comments • Permalink
