Unlike most everyday objects, guns are specifically designed to harm. A hammer is intended to beat a nail. A kitchen knife is designed to chop up food. But, guns are intended to hurt.
It’s true, 2013 was a good year for fashion. Pantone’s color of the year — emerald green —swept the streets, Rick Owens brought stomping to the runway, Prada cast a black model for the first time in 20 years and Kate Middleton continued to make me weep happy tears with every flawless outfit she sported.
Last year was a big year for technology and tech enthusiasts, but every year since year one has been a big year for tech. Moore’s law keeps bringing the ruckus and providing us with cool stuff, so I want to take a look at two favorite developments from 2013.
When a poster boy for the London 2012 Olympics came out Monday, people rushed to dictate his sexual orientation.
This year’s American Music Awards were pretty standard until Justin Timberlake went on stage and gave his best imitation of Rihanna’s mom. The “20/20” singer did his best Barbados accent saying how proud Rihanna’s mom is of “‘da icon she is.”
Sorry Biebs, Katy Perry just passed you!
Faculty Council chairperson Kip Shawger has it right — Ball State prides itself on being non-discriminatory. We were disappointed that Ball State didn’t step forward at the same time as Indiana University to show disapproval for House Joint Resolution 6, which would define marriage as between a man and a woman in the state constitution.

The loss the Ball State women’s volleyball team suffered to the University of Toledo on Thursday wasn’t a surprise considering Toledo’s talent, but Saturday’s loss to a 2-12 conference University of Akron team was shocking.
It’s about that time of year again. Students roll out of bed for their 8 a.m. classes to realize the pajamas they wore to bed won’t suffice in the below-freezing weather. They throw another long sleeve shirt, a hoodie, a coat and an extra pair of sweats over flannel pajama pants and they rush out the door.
Over the past few years, the Ball State men’s basketball team has not been as successful as desired.
At the end of Jo Ann Gora’s 10 years as president of Ball State, she will leave behind a focus on immersive learning, more than $520 million worth of construction and renovations and a renewed interest in athletics. But mostly, Gora will leave behind big shoes to fill. The goal for the 2008 Ball State Bold campaign was $200 million by 2011.

Over the summer, I received multiple emails from Ticketmaster about the History of The Eagles tour. At first, I deleted them, blaming my lack of money and friends interested in the band for not attending.
Last Tuesday, McKenzie Clift published an opinion piece in opposition to the comprehensive immigration reform bill passed by the Senate earlier this year. Clift clearly has some misconceptions about the actual provisions of the bill and what its implications are for the country. Her conclusions about what she calls the Democratic “amnesty” bill — in reality a bipartisan compromise crafted and supported by four Republican Senators, including John McCain and Marco Rubio — are largely incorrect.
The foliage lining the Briner Sports Complex has started to change, meaning that fall and conference play are here.
It’s easier to make a rule than to smoothly implement it. Ball State went from having almost 20 smoking sections to having absolutely no smoking on campus Aug. 1.
