With the new food service provider serving us in the cafeteria, JBU seems to be a bit brighter. Where people used to complain about mysterious meats and loss of appetite now resides a sense of satisfaction and praise. People walk through the crowded dining room with adventure in their eyes […]
When I was first asked to write a response to last week’s “Letter to the Editor,” I almost turned the offer down. I thought it would be nearly impossible for me to write a column that didn’t condemn Jake Hook for the opinion he shared in his letter. It would […]
Nerds are terrible people. Let me explain. Recently I got an email from Honors Program adviser and generally awesome person Maria Lehr about a service opportunity.
