The Kindle Versus the Book

The Kindle Versus the Book

Opinion by Deanna Atkins

As a communications major, I do a fair share of reading. Novel after novel and textbook after textbook, I devour the pages so that I can write five to six page papers for multiple classes. In order to do so, a stack of books lined the corner of my desk, each with bookmarks and penciled-in notes from class lectures. Lugging them around from class after class seemed normal to me because I needed them. What would I do without these textbooks? I never thought to ask myself that until I started reading e-books from a Kindle.

Do We Need Zombie March?

Opinion by Trevor Ogborn

Halloween is upon us, and chatter at the Fort again seems to revolve around the unofficial Zombie March. These last several years have been relatively harmless as somewhere around 1,500 participants took to the streets, but if you look back to 2011, local news accounts abound report mayhem as bottles, rocks, sticks and trash were hurled at officers. Proof stands that there is potential for this event to go very poorly.

Feminism and Video Games: A Combination that Should be a Thing

Feminism and Video Games: A Combination that Should be a Thing

Opinion by Carter Solomon, Image by Julia Volzke

I play video games. I don’t play them religiously. Well, not anymore at least. The pressing nature of my junior semester, ownership of my first dog and infatuation with reading and writing for pleasure, your stereotypical English major activity, I suppose, get in the way of my shameless “wasting of my life in front of a screen” as my parents call it.
