  • Excessive Internet usage can lead to anxiety, depression

    With just a few mouse clicks, it can tell you the temperature outside, the score of the game last night and who is dating who. You can carry it in your pocket for constant access to almost anything, at any time. However, having the Internet at your fingertips at all times might not always be a positive thing.

  • Constitution change bans smoking in all residence halls

    Smoking is a habit that a number of people on campus take part in every day. However, for smokers living in the dorms, things will now be more difficult, due to a recent amendment to the Association of Residence Halls constitution concerning smoking.

  • Heinlein’s ‘Orphans of the Sky’ explores, questions origins of religion

    Robert Heinlein frequently pokes at religion in his books, questioning and analyzing it, but "Orphans of the Sky" is a truly unique and frighteningly real story that explores and questions the origins of religion. The story takes place on a colony ship that was on its way to another world when it is seized by mutiny.

  • ‘Feed’ delivers sattire, reality check for high-tech consumer culture

    When I began reading "Feed" by M.T. Anderson, I was intrigued by the concept of a vast, Internet-like network hardwired into the mind and the promise of a thought-provoking dystopia some critics connected to Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World." Written from the perspective of a teenage boy, much of the text, including dialogue, narration and internal musings are in a slang-filled, futuristic, teenage vernacular.

  • In second meeting this season, K-State looks to avenge loss against Sooners

    Fresh off a 69-47 victory over Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas, on Wednesday night, the 22nd-ranked K-State men's basketball team has now won three straight Big 12 Conference contests. K-State (15-4, 4-3 Big 12) now must turn its attention to an Oklahoma team that just two short weeks ago handed the Wildcats their second-worst loss of the season.

  • Matching up: K-State vs. OU

    Oklahoma enters the contest with the league's lowest scoring defense, giving up an average of 67.7 points per game. K-State is currently fourth at 63.6 points.   The Wildcats are first in the Big 12 Conference in rebounding, averaging 39.8 rebounds per game.

  • Inspired by team’s past leaders, McGruder steps up: ‘Those guys just reached out to me’

    Coaches and players on the K-State men's basketball team will be the first say that it is all about family and team within their program. No individual is above the team and the best player is just as important to the team's success as the guy who sits at the end of the bench.

Opinion

  • Smoking a personal choice, unsolicited judgments against smokers unwelcome

    Smoking. Everyone feels the need to lecture me on how bad it is for me and how bad it is for the environment. Many people want to give me their opinions about my personal decision to smoke. Often, however, people do this in an insulting or disrespectful manner despite having good intentions.

  • TO THE POINT

    To the point is an editorial selected and debated by the editorial board and written after a majority opinion is formed. This is the Collegian's official opinion. Twice a year, new classes begin and professors across campus hand out their syllabi. Whether their class guidelines are riddled with specificity or are unsettling vague, more often than not, there's a policy on technology in their classroom.
