The Kansas House of Representatives will consider the Family and Personal Protection Act, HB 2353, which would allow concealed weapons – firearms – on college and university campuses. The Kansas Board of Regents seeks an exemption for college and university campuses for the following reasons:
1. Campuses are more than a collection of classroom [...]

Dear Editor,
I applaud Renee Simon’s column regarding eating disorders. We do need to take eating disorders seriously. Unfortunately, like many other struggles people may have, this one can sometimes be minimized by those who do not understand how serious it can become. I would like to give your readers some statistics about eating disorde [...]

To Whom It May Concern:
As a member of the Student Government Association of Fort Hays State University, I feel that communication is an essential part of being an effective senator when it comes to representing my constituents.
Over the last week it has come to my attention that my motives and discussion points during Thursday’s meeting may [...]

SGA allocations

When I was little, my mom told me that I shouldn’t judge people until I’ve put myself in their position and considered why they were acting the way that they were. This is an excellent time for the University Leader and the Student Government Association to take a moment and consider the words of a [...]
Letters to the editor
It has been my privilege to be able to work for the students at Fort Hays State University for the past two years. Whether it was being a Senator for education and counseling majors or my current role as an executive staff member, I have greatly enjoyed the experience. My wish is that all Fort Hays students would understand the work that SGA [...]

Quality education and the future of our children has always been an issue of great importance to the people of Kansas. This is one of the major reasons that I ran for the Kansas Senate more than 22 years ago. When I was first elected to the Kansas Senate, local property tax payers paid for approximately 75 percent of the cost of K through 12 [...]

“Stop AIDS Kill a fag.” I’ll never forget reading the hastily made sign posted above the water fountain outside my seventh-floor dorm room in Wiest Hall.
It was 1987 and I was a freshman at Fort Hays State University, and a gay man. However, the sign was not posted with me specifically in mind as I would come to find out— another student down [...]
‘Reach’ improves ‘Halo’ formula
Bungie has managed to do something that eluded George Lucas years ago: create a prequel to a beloved sci-fi series that not only simply works, but is at times actually better than the installments it precedes.
After spending 10 hours with the campaign, and another eight or so with the multiplayer, it’s already clear that for their exit from t [...]

It is now, as I write this, Work Day 10 since smokers were banished to what are officially known as Designated Smoking Areas, i.e., certain parking lots around the edges of campus. What they are actually are leper colonies.
Even that is somewhat misleading. With leper colonies of the past, there was at least the rationale of containing contag [...]

Fort Hays State University is more than just their sports teams.
This year the FHSU Shooting Team and Club has more to offer than just a chance to go out and shoot something.
This year the Fort Hays State University’s Shooting Club is going all out and offering anyone and everyone a chance to “Feel Lucky.” Dr. Duane Shepherd says, “they are [...]
Letter to the editor
I am writing to clarify some points made in last week’s article “Local Theatre Under New Ownership.”
The student price, which the theatre lost in August of 2009, is not actually back. There are, however, VIP tickets available at the Student Service Center for $6. These tickets are similar to Dickinson’s Group Tickets, which were formerly av [...]
