What is the point of revolution? Does it do any good? Does it better the lives of the people in a country? Throughout our history, people have been taking a look at their lives and realizing they want more and deserve more, from their government. Every major ...
Serious question, where did the “duck face” originate? I’d assume it started on the internet considering it is the “MySpace pose,” but who was the first face behind this now common expression? Why in the world don’t we just show ...

Everyone has certain things they want to accomplish in life, but during your time here at Longwood University, here is a short and condensed list of things that all students should do at Longwood. All of the points on this list were voted on and made for students, by students. Bathe in the Ruffner Fountain: ...
It was half past 2 a.m. when the ringing began. Emanating through the tenth floor hall of Curry Residence Hall, the chiming was no louder than a whisper yet carried a hollow tone, an echo before the sound. Rhythmically, the sound continued, never growing louder yet somehow seeming to fill the empty ...

Recently, I have heard of many Greek men at Longwood lavaliering or preparing to lavalier their girlfriends. With Greek life being fairly big on Longwood’s campus, I wanted to dive deeper into the longtime social Greek tradition and really find out what it means to be lavaliered.

Of course, given ...

Consider this a follow-up piece: my opinion concerning a difficult and important issue. Emily Wilkins already made the case a few weeks ago in the Politics Club Corner. Wilkins sees this issue from the inside. She’s a member of an off-campus sorority and her message is clear: I am guaranteed by the ...
Two issues ago, I wrote a piece on how sustainable Longwood really is. A few days ago, I was given the opportunity by Kelly Ann Martin, the Sustainability Coordinator and her intern, Haley Vest, to tour the Biomass Heating Plant and Recycling Center on campus. After the tours, I felt as if I should ...
Same thing, different year. The sun comes out and so do the half- naked girls on campus. I’m graduating in three weeks, and I’m still not used to seeing this happen. I’m a woman, and I still feel uncomfortable with seeing bikini clad women lounging around campus throughout the entire day. May ...
