My iPhone, my life

David Adams September 27, 2011

‘Occupy Wall Street’ shouldn’t be ignored

Megan Zagorski September 27, 2011

For the past week, Wall Street has been awash in protesters. The Occupy Wall Street movement, which started with nearly 1,500 people but has since dwindled to around 200, has been doing just that since...

RHA has good, but unfinished idea for prepaid laundry

September 27, 2011

We support the Residence Halls Association’s idea for prepaid laundry. We just want to see where they’re going with it. As the idea stands in its infancy stage, students would still be paying and...

Missing anti-discrimination policy is embarrassing

September 27, 2011

There is no anti-discrimination clause in the UM system-wide code of conduct. The MU-Columbia exclusive M-book does address discrimination, but it hasn’t been revised since 1989 — wait, what? Yes,...

The death penalty: Life’s unanswered question

Alex Basak September 23, 2011

Self-segregation builds walls

Sheela Lal September 23, 2011

A free bike rental program has been proposed at MSA, and we here at The Maneater propose the program happens soon. To the long-distance commuters in desperate need of a parking space, those who live a...

When it comes to relationships, Big 12 has problems

September 23, 2011

So, Big 12, we couldn’t help but notice your relationship status on Facebook changed. Again. And this time, we’re just a little bit concerned. This is nothing new for you. In fact, we’re not even...

Quidditch team should only struggle to catch Snitch, not ORG status

September 20, 2011

Most of us were in grade school when "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone" was released in 1997. Most of our memories don’t go much further back than that. It’s no secret that the Harry Potter...

Students should take advantage of the MSA-sponsored student tailgating space

September 20, 2011

When we say college football, you say tailgating. For students and fans of football alike, tailgating isn’t an option, it is a tradition that needs to and will be upheld for years to come. The Missouri...

Letter to the editor

September 20, 2011

Is it just me, or does student seating at the football game suck? Not only are the students forced to file into two entrances on one side of the stadium, but once they get in, the system for actually...

Withdrawals, headaches and a bad attitude: My week without coffee

Garrett Richie September 20, 2011

What do Four Loko and Monday mornings have in common? They’re both pretty rough on college students, and they’re both pretty pointless without caffeine. Although I can only speak from experience...
