A Senior’s swan song

Posted on 30 April 2008 by Robert Fafinski

It seemed like just yesterday I was a nasty kid with long, curly hair moving into O’Donnell Hall whose biggest concern was sneaking beer past the RAs. And now, heading into the Marine Corps as a Second Lieutenant, I can’t help but see all the changes my fellow seniors have gone through without thinking how [...] Continue Reading

Wanted: politicians with cajones

Posted on 30 April 2008 by Adam Covach

It is time you learned something about politicians: they are a smart breed. Every single one of them, even the ones usually referred to in the media as “idiots.” There is no way a common idiot can master the arts of both double-speak and selective truth telling to such a degree that they can influence [...] Continue Reading

Posted on 27 September 2006 by Daniel Suhr

Likely no issue is more controversial among the chattering class than when university leadership ought to exercise what I call “the Catholic veto.” “The Catholic veto” is when senior administration decides an event, speaker, student group etc. is so offensive to Marquette’s character as a Catholic Jesuit institution that he, she, they or it should not [...] Continue Reading

Posted on 27 April 2006 by Brent Downs

Today, the issue of illegal immigration has become a hot debate topic passionately analyzed by many people, especially our political leaders.
