Debunking 4 myths about climate change
(04/07/16 3:04am)
On Monday, the Obama administration released a statement detailing the widespread consequences of climate change on public health, even claiming that it poses a greater danger than the polio virus. Climate change is a problem that needs to be recognized by the masses before a solution can be reached.
ASU students resistant to active learning, despite benefits
(03/31/16 2:05am)
We are all familiar with the big lecture hall setting, especially at ASU where the student population far surpasses other universities. It is this setting that has promoted a passive learning experience for students in which we memorize the material when it is convenient for us. However, this system is failing students, and some professors are employing active learning to counter this. This initiative would urge students to use our prior knowledge to reason through problems collaboratively and logically as opposed to absorbing information thrown at us by the professor.
8 things Sun Devils need to do before graduation
(03/24/16 2:39am)
While “Pomp and Circumstance” isn’t playing for the Class of 2016 quite yet, graduation is closer than many seniors — myself included — would like to admit.
Focus on mudslinging blurs information regarding presidential race
(03/23/16 3:09am)
Though important, politics are not the only subject that should appear in the media, especially when the content is skewed by bias. Considering our generation is the future of politics and represents a large portion of the voter turnout, educating ourselves on the policies of the candidates and not the petty mudslinging taking place is vital.

Traffic on Terrace Road between Lemon Street and Rural Road was impacted after a shooting occurred at the Vertex Apartments early Friday morning, Tempe Police officials said.

(03/18/16 7:02pm)
ASU administration's tuition proposal for the 2016-17 school year, released Friday, includes a slight increase for in-state students and a larger increase for out-of-state and international students.
Starbucksless: My addiction to a logo
(03/02/16 3:42am)
About three weeks ago, my mother said that she was going to give up Starbucks indefinitely, and donate the money she spends on coffee monthly to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals or local animal rescues.
Lady Gaga: Our generation's David Bowie
(02/18/16 2:44am)
I was in awe of the 2016 Grammy Awards, as I always am. My love for some of my favorite bands began with this awards ceremony, so, naturally, I take it very seriously. This year, I was not disappointed. Gwen Stefani’s live music video performance, Taylor Swift’s debut of a new haircut, Kendrick Lamar’s colorful social statement; the list goes on. As usual, Lady Gaga did not let me down either; however, many would disagree.
Standards of beauty: A social experiment
(02/18/16 2:25am)
I have always had an offbeat sense of style, wearing combinations of clothing most people wouldn’t think of trying, but I have never made much of an attempt to look “nice.” This past week, I conducted a social experiment in which I changed my appearance every day in hopes of eliciting a response from my peers.
Why our generation is the most insensitive yet
(02/11/16 3:38am)
Back in high school, students in my English class would compete with each other during our class discussion to see who could make the most offensive and insensitive jokes. My jaw never ceased to hit the floor — these jokes’ topics ranged from the deaths of 9/11 to coat hanger abortions to citizens of impoverished countries. By senior year, I am sad to say that I too had begun to find these jokes funny, never fully reflecting on their subject matter.
Mathletes over athletes
(02/03/16 2:47am)
Receiving an athletic scholarship sounds like a dream; you don’t have to pay for tuition, housing, food or travel expenses, but the sad truth is that it's not all it's cracked up to be. There are many misconceptions regarding athletic scholarships, especially their availability. In most cases, academic scholarships are more beneficial and plentiful, and students should perhaps spend more time focusing on their academic success over their short-lived athletic success.
Assisted suicide should be granted for those with irreversible suffering
(02/01/16 12:13am)
I never considered the moral or societal implications of suicide until recently in my Human Event course, where my classmates and I were required to read Hume's "On Suicide." Everyone thinks about suicide on a personal level. Very few can say that they have never considered suicide or contemplated what would happen if they decided to take their own life. However, considering it on a personal level, only reflecting on the immediate consequences, is not the same as recognizing what suicide is to society.
(Image)ine all the people if they weren't concerned with societal standards
(01/20/16 3:39am)
While flipping through fashion magazines, I yearned for the long, thin legs that made the clothing look so beautiful and effortless. I used to starve myself for days at a time in hopes of losing weight to look more feminine in my clothes and to resemble these models. This method never worked. I inherited a large set of quads from seven years of competitive soccer, and I will never exceed 5-foot-7 in height.
Drug problem escalates, so should our response
(01/11/16 1:07am)
There is no denying that we have a drug problem, both globally and in the U.S. Actively seeking a solution to this problem is another matter altogether.
'Funny' subjective in this day and age
(12/02/15 2:20am)
Humor has never been my area of expertise. I am usually the person on the sidelines laughing at the comedians in the spotlight. I do, however, have friends who find my off-beat, quirky jokes to be hilarious. In fact, these friendships are built on the foundation of a mutual interest in humor.
Live in moderation: Sleep, social life or good grades don't have to be a choice
(11/29/15 11:32pm)
Being in college for the first time, it is easy to inherit unhealthy habits. Whether it be sleeping only during the day and staying up all night or skipping meals to do some last-minute cramming for a test, it is difficult to establish successful lifestyle strategies.
The people we're forgetting when we talk about domestic violence
(11/23/15 1:10am)
I have always considered myself an advocate for women’s rights; I don’t support gender roles and I believe that women should have the same potential to earn in the work place. As mandated by the definition of feminism, I am a feminist. However, I believe the feminist movement is overlooking a double standard present in society.
'Avengers 13' brought to you by decline in American creativity
(11/15/15 9:42pm)
The movie industry is letting us down. As sequels for the "Avengers" and "Transformers" movies continue to be released, I begin to question whether there is a single original idea being pursued in Hollywood. Even the beloved Disney franchise is recycling ideas, having announced the release of "Finding Dory," "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," a "Guardians of the Galaxy" sequel, a remake of "The Jungle Book," a sequel to "The Incredibles" and a third "Cars" movie in October.
Celebrities misuse power in world of politics
(11/05/15 2:58am)
About a week ago, I found a video on YouTube regarding the nature of Islam and the mindset of Muslims in the Middle East. I was not surprised to see a few experts with books published on the matter and media officials such as Bill Maher and Sam Harris speaking on the topic.
