Win Tickets to Kanrocksas!
The University Leader will have one final print paper at the end of the 2012-2013 school year. What story would you like to see covered? The winner will not only get their story covered, but will also receive Two tickets to the Kanrocksas Music Festival at the Kansas Speedway June 28-29th!

Liberal struggles with immigration de...
After a recent, mildly epic but certainly contentious, twitter row over illegal immigration between conservative blogger Michelle Malkin and ‘undocumented immigrant’ and journalist Jose Antonio Vargas, I came to a terrifying and very troubling conclusion: I think I agree with Michelle Malkin on something.
Now, let me give you some [...]
Harlem Shake ridiculous new craze
We should all face the truth — songs on the radio today are horrid. I wonder how any of these songs became popular. A song featuring an artist singing words — not of the English language — in an auto-tuned voice is not music.
There’s a new craze sweeping the nation, and it is none other than the Harlem Shake. When I fi [...]
The return of print
I thought the saga of the demise of the Leader might continue as Student Government Association’s second reading of the Allocations bill progressed Thursday. After last year’s fiasco, I was doubtful that The University Leader would pass with the Allocations committee’s recommendation of $51,801.50.
But I was wrong. The saga may continue throu [...]

Whenever the University Activities Board holds an on campus event, I always have to attend. Whether it’s After Dark or any other activity, UAB always seems to find a way to attract a large crowd to its events.
On March 6, UAB held a night of electronic bingo and this was no different. For each bingo that was won, participants would rece [...]
Oscars receive bad review for host, g...

This past Sunday, the biggest event of the year for movies buffs finally came around – the Oscars. The show was hyped up beforehand, considering that Seth MacFarlane (of Family Guy and Ted fame) was hosting the show.
When I first heard the news that MacFarlane was going to be the host of the Oscars, I figured that he would bring [...]
10 activities for a snow day
This morning at 6:44 am, I received an email stating the classes were cancelled. As exciting as it seemed, I later came to find out that activities are more and more hard to come up with during a snow day.
With these top ten activities to do during a snow day, you should have a proper response when your friend sends you a text message saying, [...]
Studying abroad from a student abroad
I have spent almost three weeks in Italy now, and it has been quite an experience. Every day here has been enjoyable, if not breathtaking.
One question has been regularly bouncing through my head: Why don’t more people study abroad?
I have seen things I probably never would have seen in my life otherwise and will be doing things some people o [...]
Connections in college invaluable
As you have probably learned if you saw the front page of this issue, this is likely to be the last issue of the University Leader, at least for this year. Since I no longer have until May to write my last, great farewell, it has to come now.
I’ll try not to make this all about myself. The lesson that I learned from working at the Leader in s [...]
Seize the college experience
All of us have heard the old adage “carpe diem.”
We should all “seize the day,” everyday. But I implore you to stop every once in a while and look around. Ask yourself if you are heading in the direction you want to be, if you are living the life you always wanted to.
Oftentimes, it is easy to get caught up in the things going on around us an [...]
Dealing with letdowns
I thought I was having a terrible nightmare last year during the second reading of the allocations bill when The University Leader’s funding was cut to $19,000 — not enough money to survive.
It turns out, it was a living nightmare.
I’m disappointed to say the least. I had hopes that the Leader would pull through — that we would keep printing [...]
