Lewis University was shaken by three individuals who hung a noose outside of their window and yelled hateful and harmful things at a minority on campus. The individuals in question were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. Is a noose insulting? Yes.
After overhearing exchanges and some very close conversations with my friends, it has recently come to my attention that students are not taking the severity of sexual assault and alcohol seriously at Lewis University. My main point in writing this is-if one is intoxicated, they cannot give consent for sex.
When discussing politics, the topic of gun control is a hot debate. The liberal stance on guns is to restrict, restrict and restrict them. Their argument makes absolutely no sense. Liberals desire more gun laws. They believe by creating stricter gun laws, it will be harder to obtain and use them.
Of the Cubs... by Meghan Callahan April in Chicago has arrived. One day, it is a beautiful, sunny 70 degree day. The next day is 40 degrees, cold and rainy. Amongst this indecisive weather is the start baseball--or as we in Chicago know it as, the great rivalry.
The human being is a creature of habits. And no matter what, it is hard for us to break out of that simple routine of the everyday. We are creatures of repetition; governed by the simple formulas that fill our day to day. Wake up, go to practice, breakfast, then class, take a nap, get some lunch, go to class, go to class, go to practice, get food, hang out, get food, do homework, go to sleep and do it all again.
Dear faculty/staff, I am an overachiever. By reading my byline, you probably quickly know if you've had me in class or in an extracurricular. I constantly had my hand in the air. I always got my work in on time. I e-mailed you constantly before the final project was due.
The whole country seems to be "outrage central" this week over the AIG bonuses. The whole situation has me shaking my head at people. We have seen more proof that the bailouts were a dumb idea. To this point, Democratic Party governance seems to be a mockery of intelligence.
I am 21 years old. I spent a few years living in dormitories when I attended Eastern Illinois University, but by the time I transferred to Lewis, I felt as if I outgrew the whole 'dorm' thing. At EIU and virtually every other college campus in the country, there is affordable apartment living either on campus or close enough to make sense to live there.
