Walking down to the P.E. center last Saturday, I was thinking more about later that night than the more-than-likely mediocre jam band I was just about to sit through. I was always taught never to judge people by their looks, but who doesn’t do that? Looking at Fluttr, I thought […]

Keeping the Memories Alive
The usually bare walkways curling around the P.E. center were lined with homemade memorial luminaries, and strewn with pensive, although contented people. People united by human compassion towards something that may or may not have affected them. The Walk for Cancer that took place this past Saturday, the 19th, took […]
A Leap, a Riddle, and a Song
What had a black and white zebra, bits of comedy and hope, and a group of swingers? No, it’s not a new Broadway production. It was the Faculty Dance Concert, held Friday, September 10 in Silver Cultural Arts Center. In a diverse display of the talent there is to learn […]
Experience the Artistic Genius
The 2004 Faculty Exhibition, located in the Karl Drerup Art Gallery, just recently had its Grand Opening last week on September 15th. Featuring work from nearly two dozen artists, one instantly becomes engulfed by the mind-blowing artistic genius that is displayed throughout the entire room. When walking into the gallery, […]
Biederman’s Open Mic
The year’s first Biedermans Open Mic was held Tuesday, September 14th by PSU Poets and Writers. The crowd consisted of faculty, students, and local town members. There was not an empty seat in the house, and the audience was supportive as each person got up to share stories, poems, and […]
Pacifist Politics
Generally speaking, regardless of how well a political candidate pledges to handle any number of issues, he or she remains flawed in the eyes of a pacifist due to the solitary issue at the forefront of today’s news: war. As a pacifist, I remain staunch in my beliefs that a […]
Drinking Too Much?
At Colorado State University last Thursday, a nineteen-year-old sophomore, Samantha Spady, was found dead the morning after a party because she drank herself to death. At colleges and universities across the county, underage drinking is considered to be a normal part of school life. The problem with this behavior is […]
First Year Away From Home Brings Many Surprises
Being in an unfamiliar situation can be frightening and nerve-wracking to anyone. If you are a freshman, the whole college experience may seem overwhelming. Being in a new environment is challenging for everyone, and at one time, every student on the Plymouth State campus had the same anxious feelings. It […]
Shotguns, Freud, and the Fourth November
Maybe I’m going out on a limb here, but if you’re anything like me, you probably weren’t all that interested in the recent Republican National Convention. For one thing, it was a little anticlimactic; gee, whom did you think they were gonna nominate? I tried at all costs to avoid […]
Secure the Homeland…or at least Downtown Plymouth
It is Tuesday morning, August 31, 2004. As I entered my office at Ayer Insurance I noticed that one of the two flower barrels in front of the office has now been removed. But this was only the impetus to write this letter. Yesterday, Monday, August 30, 2004, both of […]
