There’s a war going on in this country. This war has prompted enormous spending, several billion just this year alone. What adversary are we combating, you ask? Why, we are fighting the scourge of illegal drugs. While people tend to believe the goal...

It was in the 60s all last week, then we got our first taste of crappy winter weather this week, and now it’s nicer, again. For those of you who are new to the Kansas area, allow me to burst your bubble: One of the dubious joys of Kansas is the unpr...

My Collegian in elementary education physics is what red staplers are to Milton. To the girl walking through campus carrying a case of pop, a pillow and wearing pajama bottoms: Do you realize it is 3:30 in the afternoon? Weber Hall is the best place to ta...

As I watched C-SPAN Tuesday afternoon, I was appalled by what Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio, said. We've spent the last nine months cleaning up the mess the representatives across the aisle created, Ryan said on the House floor. Ryan went on to say the Republican...

As college-educated Americans, we have our hands on the levers of power and change more so than almost any other group on the planet. We have incredible access to information, all avenues of democratic participation and our entire lives ahead of us. That&...

I was in 7th grade the first time I truly understood what it meant to live in the United States. I vividly remember opening my civics textbook to a chapter on free speech. There, on the opening pages, was a photo of marching Ku Klux Klan members — w...

Cow farts release methane gas, creating global warming. I'm saving the world by eating cows. Vegetarians, what have you done today? It's a Saturday night, and it's just me and my sisters cat-calling any boys who come into sight. This should become a weekl...

What are you doing Thursday morning between 8:30 and 11:30? Hopefully you will be joining me in the K-State Student Union’s Forum Hall to get the H1N1 flu vaccination from Lafene Health Center. Recently, Lafene received a shipment of the H1N1 influe...
