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...

Step it up, Plaza 900

September 30, 2014

Dear Plaza, Adding more seating does not make eating there faster. Changing the direction of the entry line does not make eating there faster. Fixing the food prep process does. It's pretty easy to just...

Within the span of four issues of The Maneater, we’ve had to talk about City Council’s lack of representation of students twice. Clearly, there is a problem. Columbia City Council voted in May to...

Maneater ‘clarification’ a shameful misstep

September 26, 2014

The editorial The Maneater posted Sept. 16 was shameful enough. They were rightly criticized for it in the Letter to the Editor that was posted Sept. 23. If the paper had apologized, addressed its wrongness,...

Sexual assault resources must reach a wider audience

September 23, 2014

The Maneater recently received correspondence regarding our editorial that was published last week entitled “‘Enough is Enough’ is not quite enough.” Senior Rachel Swinney made valid points in...

Wires crossed for MizzouWireless

September 23, 2014

As the semester continues to move along, MizzouWireless … does not. MizzouWireless has crashed multiple times over the past few weeks. The Division of Information Technology said the two software items...

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...

Maneater editorial omits vital campus resources

September 23, 2014

It's almost funny to me that so much misinformation about sexual assault resources was published out of an office literally around the corner from the Relationship and Sexual Violence Prevention Center. Almost. But...
