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.
Having cancer has been a lesson in human interaction, and you know what? Humans are bizarre creatures.
Work hard and be entrepreneurial was the general message Soledad O’Brien sent to Ball State students Monday afternoon at a small-group, Q-and-A session.
In the most primitive roots of American history, immigration has, at its heart, nurtured the most powerful and significantly diverse population in the world. It is true that we recognize the significance of creating a welcoming culture to lawful immigration as it serves as a vitality of the very economic prosperity and cultural diversity that contributes so integrally to our individual freedom, limited government and free enterprise system.

On a warm Wednesday morning, as I exited the Letterman Building after recording my WCRD show, I was approached by an older gentleman passing out copies of the Bible. “Would you like to hear the word of God?” he asked me.

By now, everyone has noticed the construction in the Village. I have the misfortune of passing it every day.
“The Suspects Wore Louboutins” was the name of an article upon which director and screen writer Sofia Coppola’s indictment of Generation Y is based. I suppose that is indeed an apt summation of what to expect from “The Bling Ring.” Pretty to look at, but hollow on the inside.

When I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in July, I spent every waking moment reading everything I possibly could about a disease I had never let cross my mind before.
For some students, the words “family” and “weekend” just don’t go together. Family means family members and a game of “Scrabble” while weekend at college means pounding music, shots and a hangover the next morning.
We are students in the Honors College here at Ball State, and we felt compelled to share with the student body at large some of our feelings regarding the recent issues of academic freedom on our campus. In elementary school we are all taught that bullying is not allowed or tolerable and we feel the need to stand up for professors in our college who are being bullied by professionals who have no tie to this academic institution. Thus, we present our beliefs about academic freedom in the collegiate environment.
