By now, I hope you’ve heard about the Social Media Summit happening this weekend. If you haven’t, it’s beginning in the Centrum on Sunday, April 14, at 1 p.m. Honestly, I’m guessing most of you who are taking the time to read this are already going and already know the value of going. However, we…
It’s 6 a.m. on registration day. Luckily Banner opens right away, but one of the classes that fulfills a major requirement is no longer being offered. The class is only offered one semester a year, and the next time it is offered is after graduation. There is only one option left: take the class through…
It has long been said that the Student Government Association is an irrelevant organization, visible only at election time. For the most part, they are exactly right. There is no point in arguing something that is true more often than not. Of course, many responses could contest such a core-cutting statement, and this largely depends…

Although it is nearly 23…
Dearest Cobber Beanie Students, this week has been a full week for most.

There comes a time when we can no longer stay silent. In the words of Martin Luther King Jr., “We will remember, not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends.” I will not stay silent any longer. In light of the hearings on marriage equality in SCOTUS, a movement on Facebook…
