Hunting’s purpose lost in the sport
I would like to be able to say that I survived my Thanksgiving unscathed, but thanks to my boyfriend’s sister’s fiance, I was unable to.
There isn’t much that offends me, but when I am trying to devour my second helping of green bean casserole, one thing I did not want shoved in my face was an iPhone image of him skinning his latest kill. Let [...]
Holiday sales not always best
It’s finally here. It’s the wonderful time of year where people put aside their selfish agendas to give love and kinship to their fellow travelers on this planet Earth.
Wait, nevermind. It’s time to spend our money on stuff we don’t need.
I visited my parents’ house over Fall Break, which was a great way to catch up with family and a terrible [...]
End of semester evaluations valued
We are nearing the light at the end of the tunnel. The fall semester is close to being over.
This means a few things: those dreaded finals you need to score a 95 percent on to keep your C, two more weeks to skip class and Big Brother begging us to tell them what we thought of this semester’s courses.

Biased teachers influence students
Has there been an instance that you have left a lecture feeling betrayed by a position your teacher or professor took on a controversial issue?
Many teachers get so caught up in their own beliefs that they are adamant about forcing these views onto their students. Most students have probably experienced this. At some point in the classroom, a [...]
Fort Hays takeover, cats invade
There have been many strange things going on at Fort Hays since classes began. However, the thing that has bewildered me most is the huge presence of stray cats near Tomanek Hall.
At first, I took the cats’ presence as a joke. I told my friends they needed to come get their kids, or they couldn’t bring their pets with them to school. This pro [...]
Study abroad for right reasons
Everyone likes school, right? Why not study abroad?
There’s a chance for students to travel abroad to go to school. I have nothing against being here, but some students would love to see more of the world. The United States government has created a little-known scholarship program that allows students who study a critical language the opportu [...]
TigerLink – the missing link
I am sure that at one point all of you have heard of TigerLink — that elusive, mysterious website that gets brought up at the beginning of the year, only to drop off the face of the earth by midterms. What you don’t know is how useful the site is.
Almost everyone uses Facebook to talk to his or her friends and stay informed. TigerLink is the [...]
Mixed emotions about Marijuana
I purposely ignored the news last week because the constant election coverage was as annoying as my uncle’s impersonation of Larry the Cable Guy.
Consequently, I was shocked when my pothead neighbor gleefully informed me that marijuana was legalized in two states. What was even more shocking is that Vermont wasn’t one of the states. I have be [...]

Fort Hays website confusing, lacking
by Victoria Staros
If you plan on getting anything done while using the Fort Hays State University website, put aside a couple of hours to try to figure out where everything is – then another hour trying to find another website with better information.
Let’s try and get the phone number for financial aid. I’m a current student, so I should go [...]
Letter to the editor…Issues to ...
Conservative Republicans win a majority in the state Legislature, voters in Saline and Reno counties repealed LGBT anti-discrimination ordinances and Obama gets a second term with Republicans maintaining control of the House of Representatives and Democrats keeping the Senate. Things are sure to get interesting here in Kansas.
