Backsliding: A Commentary on LGBTQIA+ Rights in the USA
Samuel Jendrysik, Junior We as a species like to think that we’ve evolved over the last 70 or so years, and in many ways we have. Computers fit in our pockets instead of filling up warehouses. Cars are faster and much safer. Medicine is much better. That said, we haven’t come nearly as far as…

Music Review – Barrence Whitfield and the Savages
Benjamin Burns, Senior Today I am reviewing the 1987 album, “Ow! Ow! Ow!” by Barrence Whitfield and the Savages. This is one of their earlier albums, just as good as their more recent albums.

Shadow and Bone: Season Two Review
Benji Boyd, Sophomore The decision to adapt a book series to the screen is perhaps one of the bravest things a director and producer can do. While movies and TV can tell stories in ways that books can’t, it takes a lot more than good source material to make an adaptation work. It takes a…
