No. 1 places for “Number Two”

Benjamin Brown October 14, 2014

In my 20 years on this planet, I have learned a few things. For example, never suggest a woman is pregnant unless you see a baby coming out of her at that moment. Don’t take a laxative after you take...

Three things Tour Team forgot to tell us

Nina Ruhe October 14, 2014

Now that it’s fall, pumpkin spice drinks, scarves and fuzzy socks have asserted their presence into our lives (or at least mine). One other noticeable thing is happening around campus as well: Tours. Ah,...

Marriage equality, also known as basic human rights

Jordan McFarland October 7, 2014

Court is in session. On Monday, the Supreme Court took to session for the tenth time under Chief Justice John G. Roberts. Hopefully this session, justice will be served in the form of marriage equality. Sunday...

A step in the right direction

Lily Cusack October 7, 2014

Last week marked an important advancement in equality for same-sex couples in Missouri: A court ruled the state’s refusal to recognize legal same-sex marriages performed out of state was unconstitutional....

School is for fools

Benjamin Brown October 7, 2014

I never skipped class in high school. Not because of any moral obligation I had to attend or to better myself, but because I wasn’t _good_ enough to get a full-ride athletic scholarship, and I knew I...

Staying in bed

Edna Smith October 7, 2014

Thanks to the likes of Cosmo, Gossip Girl and the wide, wonderful world of porn, we have it ingrained in our minds that between-the-sheets-on-a-mattress-horizontal sex is for dweebs. And since my goal...

Missouri’s fight for equality

Lily Cusack September 30, 2014

The fight for LGBT equality in Missouri has not been very grand or spectacular. There have not been miraculous breakthroughs such as legalizing same-sex marriage, nor has there been a very large backlash...

How a comedy about abortion changes everything

Edna Smith September 30, 2014

Arguably the most remarkable film of 2014, “Obvious Child,” is now available on iTunes. This is the part where I command you to stop paying faithful homage to journalism (for a few hours), put down...

Cheap dates are good dates

Benjamin Brown September 30, 2014

Now, it may seem unlikely to you all, but I have been on many dates. I would say that, in my lifetime, I have been on anywhere from five to six dates. I learned a lot on those dates — mainly that dating...

News, coffee and an apology

Nina Ruhe September 30, 2014

I’d like to begin this week by apologizing for offending people in last week’s column. I did not mean to criticize sexual assault victims, as my entire passage was about how we should not ever blame...

Don’t be scared of the ‘F-word’

Jordan McFarland September 30, 2014

As men we should look to our daughters, our sisters, mothers and grandmothers and ask them whether or not they should make 77 cents on the dollar compared to men because [according to the White House](http://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/equal-pay#top),...

Enough is seriously enough

Nina Ruhe September 23, 2014

Enough is enough. No, I don’t mean you’ve eaten enough Goldfish Puffs at night to help you get through studying for that geology test (come on, people, I know it’s not just me). I’m talking about...
