Feature: War On Terror By Jacob Boer Let us start in the beginning. Americans were caught off guard by the attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. A total of 3,021 innocent people were killed on 9/11 as a result of 19 men who hijacked and crashed four U.S. commercial airliners. Our response was unanimous: We had to get even. The "evildoers," President Bush told us, were led by Osama Bin Laden and his small group of "freedom haters" called Al Qaeda. He, and they, lived in Afghan caves. We would bomb those caves, he promised, until America was safe again. A Memorial For Littleton By Justin Otto April 20th, 1999. I think this day will be remembered as the most tragic historical event I lived through even if I am still alive a hundred years from now. This is from a student who clearly remembers the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York. It was the massacre at Columbine High School and the fate of thirteen souls that continues to haunt me.  Paradise Lost. Paradise Reacquired. By Katie McKy Gawd, I miss small towns. I knew a few before Sam Walton smeared his version of dystopia across America... But there are small towns still. They are our cities and New York City is America's greatest small town. There, people still sit on stoops. Most people still walk or share trains, which places them in proximity. Hmong Media Coverage: Step by Step to Drawing Your Own Caricature By Vanessa Gertz The United States of America, the melting pot of the world, and yet in retrospect we make little progress in ethnic acceptance. Here in the Midwest, where high populations of Hmong live, there is a subtle segregation. The media are the key for the passage of information between the many different ethnicities that surround us, so the problem begins with the portrayal of the Hmong in the media. Under 21... House Party or House Party? By Vanessa Gertz It is a Friday night in the city of Eau Claire, the night is young, and this 19-year-old girl wishes to hit the town. Halt, step back...this is the city of Eau Claire. Options for my night consist of: house party, house party, or house party. Let Them Praise His Name with Dancing... (Ps. 149:3): Student Launches Dance Ministry By Kaye E. Finne Grace in Motion Ministries began with a spark that ignited along a spiritual journey. This ignition was volunteer experience at Valleybrook Church. Able to combine her God-given gift of dance with leadership skills within the church, Amber Anderson (Senior) set out to complete the task of choreographing the first week of Christmas dramas. SHADOWGRAPHS: Say Yes To Jesus By Justin Otto Today we all woke up. Our bed was communal; we woke with the sun, opened our eyes and looked around. Those experiences were very personal but were done as a group. Perhaps we ate breakfast. Some of us drank coffee, some of us showered, some of us put mail in our mailboxes, some of us smoked cigarettes, some of us watched television or listened to the radio or let our pets outside. Caveat Emptor--A Rejected Ad Lay Here By Brian Vander Kamp There was almost a full page ad in this spot. The same ad was also going to be in the issue following this one. This ad promoted a new Web-based company recently begun by a group of five young men, four of whom are UWEC students. We pulled it.

Game Freaks: TMNT II - The Arcade Game By Matthew White and Matt Biedermann Matt and Matt review the classic Nintendo title from Konami, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game. If this doesn't have you yelling "Cowabunga!" then, well, you must not have wanted to yell it out when TMNT ruled the earth either... you philistine... Music Review: The Cure, "Join the Dots: B Sides and Rarities 1978-2001" By Paul Karker Bleak, gleeful, melancholy, theatrical--call them what you will. The Cure has been a spick-and-span, cutting-edge band since their start in 1976. Their true charm has always lain within front man Robert Smith's ability to craft remarkable albums that stir up an assortment of emotions within not only their fans, but their songs as well. |
