Column: Slut

Catherine Byerly Sep 25, 2012
While UPD has found two reports of sex crimes to be false in August, the language in the alert to students tells more about the culture of victim-blaming than it does understanding why a women would wait to report such serious incidents.

Column: Anxiety, anyone?

Taylor Leckie Sep 25, 2012
Sure, absorbing a new living arrangement — or just being a college student, in general — can give you that horror-movie anxiety, but that doesn’t mean you have to live on edge until you finally grab that bachelor’s degree.

Column: To avoid ending up as a starving artist, I became a business major

Taylor Leckie Sep 10, 2012

Column: Epic Jacksonville City Council Fail

Catherine Byerly Aug 30, 2012
The Jacksonville City Council voted Wednesday August 15, 2012 against Ordinance 2012-296 in a 10-9 vote, which sought to protect the gay and lesbian community from workplace and housing discrimination.

Album Review: Centipede Hz by Animal Collective

Mason McGough Aug 28, 2012
For a group with a track record as long as Animal Collective’s, it’s astounding how little Centipede Hz sounds like their past work.
