An active political scene encourages student involvement

Posted on 20 August 2008 by Daniel Suhr

For the next several months, living in a battleground state will be an absolute thrill. For the political junkie, nothing is more fun that living in a battleground state in a presidential election season. In 2004, Wisconsin was decided by less than one percent of the vote, and early polling data show this election is going [...] 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

My alternative lifestyle: College conservative

Posted on 16 April 2008 by Robert Fafinski

Iggy Pop, in his satirical song, “I’m a Conservative,” jokingly sang, “Conservatism ain’t no easy job.” And, on college campuses, he’s right. Being a conservative ain’t easy. Clearly, in my four years here at Marquette I’ve been out of the closet as a conservative. But, this “alternative lifestyle” I chose to engage in remains a [...] Continue Reading

Les Aspin: Marquette’s greatest pride or shame?

Posted on 07 November 2007 by Catherine Cronce

With prominent advertisements springing up across campus, the Les Aspin Center for Government has been gaining more attention from students this semester than ever before.

Is Governor Jim Doyle racist?

Posted on 07 November 2007 by Robert Fafinski

In a couple of my classes here at Marquette, I’ve heard ridiculous accusations of racism. I’ve been told that anyone who does not support affirmative action is a racist. I’ve been told that the criminal justice system in America is racist because a greater percentage of blacks are [...] Continue Reading

G.I. Joe: Real Belgian hero

Posted on 07 November 2007 by Christopher Langlo

Paramount Pictures is causing an uproar within the online community. The controversy stems from the GI Joe movie that is slated to start production in 2008. Unfortunately the “Real American Hero” is no longer American at all. GI Joe will stand for Global [...] Continue Reading

Hypocrisy and the whole of Catholic social teaching

Posted on 02 November 2007 by Daniel Suhr

Every year, the Office of Student Development sponsors a Leadership Summit that brings Marquette students together to discuss a pressing issue or theme. I have attended several in the past and found them a mixture of generating productive ideas and kumbaya handholding. This year’s theme is built around [...] Continue Reading

Why we should bomb New Orleans

Posted on 25 April 2007 by Josiah Garetson

Over a year and a half after Hurricane Katrina leveled the Gulf Coast region from New Orleans to Alabama, the cleanup effort and rebuilding process remains as daunting as ever. Nearly 250 students from Marquette and over one million students from around the nation gave up their spring breaks to help with Hurricane Relief. I [...] Continue Reading

Election reflection 2006: Victory is more than a vote

Posted on 06 December 2006 by Mary Ellen Burke

Get out the vote!” Campaign managers sing the same tune every election cycle: phone banks, lit drops, mailings and more. Don’t forget the cranky and underpaid campaign staffers, temperamental members of the Press Corp, sleep-deprived volunteers and, of course, the never-ending supply of Papa John’s pizza. Popularity: 3% [?] Continue Reading
