Many students have found the new construction in the dustbowl to be much more than a minor inconvenience. As one who has come to accept the reasoning behind BC’s new fascination with construction I can understand the need for the high green fencing and aggressive territorial expansion of the construction zone, what I cannot understand [...]

Earlier this month, in a response to The Observer’s article BC Law Defends Abortion Link, TFP Student Action launched an e-protest to request that BC Law remove the Planned Parenthood link from their website. John Ritchie, TFP Student Action Director, recently updated me on the status of their protest. “So far, we’ve collected 6,870 protest [...]

On the second floor of the John J. Burns Library lies an exhibit that deepens one’s understanding of the significance of early scientific works from distinguished pioneers such as Sir Isaac Newton, Christoph Clavius, and Galileo Galileo. The Burns Library, in collaboration with the Department of Physics, became one of the select institutions to acquire [...]

I’m going to say this outright: The Social Network is more than a disappointment. It’s a disservice not only to one of the brightest members of this generation, but to the entire generation itself. Before the film started, I thought it was funny to see so many people over the age of 40 in the [...]

Early this month the Church celebrated the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, a day to remember the significance of the prayer that has become an important part of Catholic life. According to the Church’s tradition, in the thirteenth century Mary, the Mother of Jesus, appeared to St. Dominic and asked him to pray [...]

Thursday, October 7th: from the outside, Robsham was eerily quiet. After waking up early and looking outside of my window from Ignacio, I couldn’t help but smile at the fact that I was going to finally not have to wait in any annoyingly long lines for a homecoming ticket. Think again. After leaving Ignacio and [...]

All Comm Ave. buses have been re-routed to run around the perimeter of campus since construction blocks all entrances to the Quad. Shinskie violates NCAA regulations by appearing as the new spokesman for the AARP. We can’t write anything funny and publishable about “sex-toy bingo,” so just use your imagination. Last time someone released a [...]
