Imagine society’s collective shock if Hillary Clinton were to join the National Rifle Association, if members of the Westboro Baptist Church were discovered frolicking at a gay bar or if Quentin Tarantino were to announce plans to make a Justin Bieber documentary.

Cpl. Seth Foley was on his way back to base from a day of operations in Hit, a city in the Al-Anbar province of northwestern Iraq, right along the Euphrates River – the cradle of civilization. He and three other Marines were riding in a security detachment with a convoy around 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 14, 2006, and were about a mile and a half from the base’s gate. The road was flanked by a field on the left and a grove of palm trees on the right. Foley was the only one in the Humvee trained to use an automatic grenade launcher, so he was tasked with keeping watch and manning the tank’s weapon.

In the Christian Bible, accounts of Jesus’ miracles abound. Even non-Christians know the rundown: water into wine, loaves and fishes, healing lepers, raising Lazarus from the dead. At the 24-hour Prayer House at Arizona State University, students come together to pray for modern miracles – and to talk about the ones they say they’ve seen firsthand.

Jerry Lee Friestad’s voice is the aural equivalent of a seesaw: It goes up and down, up and down, the volume and tone jumping and dipping with every bold proclamation and one-liner. A Southern twang pours in like syrup, but in different flavors – sometimes, it sounds like the good ol’ boy you’d expect someone named Jerry Lee to be; other times, it sounds decidedly like a white boy affecting a ghetto drawl.

A Muslim, a Jew, a rodeo clown’s son and a writer walk into a bar. Is it the setup for a lame punch line? Nope, it’s a smattering of the stand-up comedians at Arizona State University – and they wouldn’t dream of telling a joke like that.

After staring intently at the bookshelf in front of you, perusing the spines and trying to find the perfect book to suit your mood, you pluck one from its dusty home. You amble past the record player and stacks of old records in their battered covers, step around the coffee table and sink into the plush, velvety scarlet cushions of the sofa.

Steve Lipstraw’s life story reads like a tale from idyllic Americana – a sweet, churchgoing, Midwestern farm boy dreams of becoming a pilot and traveling the world. He leaves the comfort and security of the third-generation family farm in Lindsey, Ohio, to strike out west, get an education and soar above the earth, marveling at the miniscule beauty of the world below.

By the time they decided to go into business together, one man had started and shuttered his own marketing firm and been doing freelance consulting around the Valley. The other had put in thousands of hours as a day trader.

Mention you’re visiting Arizona State University’s Polytechnic campus and, whether you’re at bustling Main, business-like Downtown Phoenix or relaxed West, you’ll get some blank stares and quizzical interrogation.

With the Republican primary race whittling the conservative candidate list down for the looming presidential election, various “occupy” and protest movements gripping the nation and everybody on both sides of the partisan fence promising solutions for the struggling economy, it’s certainly an interesting time to be a young Republican.

If a couple of Arizona State University students told you that feces could solve a host of pressing world issues, you might say they’re full of it.

The sound of 12 singing voices mingling, layering and coalescing into perfect harmony swells and fills the dank, desk-cramped room in the depths of the music building. Voices deep and rich and high and crystalline meld into a solemnly beautiful tone that calls to mind a church hymn. Just as the voices reach a stately crescendo, they stop.

Sometimes all it takes to change the world is five minutes. At least that’s the premise of Ignite @ ASU, an event that could most accurately be described as a lecture soaked in acid, a carnival of ideas, knowledge, inspiration and networking that aims to be the tiny spark that ignites a world of change.

Like Mary and her little lamb from the beloved nursery rhyme, wherever Dr. Douglas Kelley goes, students are sure to follow. They swarm around him before and after classes, migrate to talk to him during office hours, play pick-up basketball games with him, volunteer with him and animatedly extol his praises to whoever will listen, urging people to take one of his classes.

Siavonh Lenaburg is ready for the truth. As someone who has experienced eating disorders firsthand, she knows how insidious the secret world of disordered eating can be, how easy it is to drown in denial and how isolating such a personal struggle can be. And she wants to change that for as many people as she can reach.

Whether they admit it or not, most people experience some kind of awkwardness, discomfort or a feeling of not knowing quite what to do when they interact with people with disabilities. In an effort to show how “fine” they are with the situation, they often affect an air of detached coolness, or overcompensate with the saccharine sweetness adults usually reserve for speaking to children. These exchanges, however well-intentioned, are uncomfortable (and can even be insulting) for both parties, and can be avoided entirely, say the members of Ability Counts Tempe, an Arizona State University club devoted to raising disability awareness and fostering dialogue among people of all ability levels.
