Disney brings ‘Oceans’ to life


I do not celebrate Earth Day. I generally make a daily, concerted effort to be environmentally conscious, without being militant about it, and make my annual donations to organizations that maintain similar ecological beliefs. I think Earth Day is a wonderful concept, but I feel it shares the same faults with a day like Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Are we only to celebrate our differences and diversity on that day?

Allergies inspire life goals

Adventures of Alice

Springtime means different things to different people. Some think of spring as the time when animals come out of hiding and flowers blossom.  To others, it is the season when girls’ sunless-tanned legs come out of hiding and young love -- or at least young lust-- blossoms.

Uniform colors help solidify team spirit The voice of reason

Colors are representative of so many things in our culture today. When somebody says red and green, someone else almost immediately exclaims “Christmas!” When someone hears red, white and blue, anthems of American patriotism come to mind.

 

Opinion and Editorial

Loyola can do more for stress

AT ISSUE: exam induced stress can be easily mitigated

Stress is part of being a college student. Whether it comes from papers, exams or relationships, stress is ubiquitous. Thankfully, the library alleviates some of the finals week chaos by providing free coffee and tea after midnight.  However, as finals weeks have shown, stores of coffee and tea are limited and often run out.

Campus renovations will be inconvenient

In my opinion

As some of you may have noticed, campus has been undergoing some construction over the past several weeks. These deferred maintenances are the beginning steps of the university's “master plan.” The final results will transform campus into a more aesthetically pleasing and capable acreage.

Professor explains sabbatical

On the record

As the semester winds down—or perhaps more accurately, winds up, rather like a top getting ready to explode—I find myself continually looking toward that magical moment when my sabbatical begins.

Cursing is unoriginal, nonsensical and inefficient

In my opinion

Using curse words is one of the most unoriginal and nonsensical things you can do. I’m talking about those words that everyone uses everyday, to the point where people don’t even think about words mean anymore.

Let’s think about the big picture

Think About It

Where do you see the world in one hundred years? How do you define progress? Take a minute to ponder these questions. Though at first glance it might not appear as if these questions are related, they are actually intimately connected with the way in which we carry out our everyday lives.
