Several concerns regarding ‘Detective Pikachu’ movie
Dillan Schorfheide, Assistant Sports Editor
December 9, 2018
I have never played the Detective Pikachu video game, and I do not really have a desire to. I am sure it is fun and unique, but I just have no interest in playing it. But seeing the trailer for the movie of the same title, due for a May 2019 release, I am excited. Of course there have been plenty...

Historical landmarks should be preserved
Jordan Boyer, Photo Editor
December 6, 2018
As a history major, I appreciate the pieces of history that are still preserved in the modern day. It is truly fascinating looking at sources from past eras and imaging all the things that happened with this certain document, image, statue and so on. One thing I do fully support is the preservation of historica...

December 6, 2018
I’ve been rather upset with myself, lately. Looking through the Fashion Friday columns that I’ve written, I cringed at how mediocre my writing was, and quite frankly, I’m embarrassed. When I decided to write about fashion, I wanted to encourage people to dress however they wanted and convince them that...

With one holiday already passed and another quickly approaching, most of us are fully immersed in the spirit of giving. I find myself in that spirit as well.

Buy that person you don’t know what to get for Christmas a Wood Labyrinth
Megan Keane, Columnist
December 5, 2018
It’s the perfect, treasured game for young and old alike. It’s timeless—and time consuming. It’s good for the mind. It can be used as an exercise in concentration. What is it, you may be asking. Does it include David Bowie, you may also be asking. I can answer both of those so that you can be a ...

I have recently started waking up at six in the morning— every morning. I know, some of you may be absolutely mind-blown at the fact that someone (particularly a college student) actively wakes up at six a.m. every morning by choice. But my simple reason is, I enjoy it. And I have learned to lis...

It is the holiday season, which means lights and decorations are everywhere, including in dorm rooms.

I love the holiday spirit that a lot of people get into this ...

Now that it is getting colder outside and winter is right around the corner, people are not going outside as often on campus unless they are headed to class. Students are taking shortcuts through buildings to get to their next class so they do not have to stay outside as long. I know I have cut t...

It’s Christmas time! This has always been my favorite time of year for many reasons. I love decorating the tree and making the house look magical. I love listening to Christmas music and watching Christmas movies that always have the same basic plot (I know, I know, but they make me happy). I love th...

First off, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has been affected by the frenzy of tornadoes in central Illinois that struck down on Saturday.
