FFA helps patients
As FFA members in high school, every member learns the FFA Motto: “Learning to do, Doing to learn, Earning to live, Living to serve.” Each year the Wyoming FFA chapters participate in a Day of Service giving back to its community. The Collegiate FFA Chapter is no different. For two years it secured grant funding…
UWl Holiday Concerts
The weather outside might not be frightful and the snow may not be flying, but that does not change the fact that the holiday season has arrived. The University of Wyoming wants to help everyone get into the holiday spirit by hosting the annual Gala Holiday Concerts. This year’s theme is “Holidays Around the World,”…
'All-Stars: Battle Royale' is a knockout
I love a good spectacle crossover fighter. The action a fighting game brings to the table is only enhanced when the fighters are from different franchises or mediums, altogether. This is why it would not take a rocket scientist to guess that my favorite fighting game series ever is “Super Smash Bros.” There is something…
Foreseen problems for next UW pres
When a new president arrives at the University of Wyoming next year, the head of Wyoming’s sole university will find dozens of newly constructed and remodeled buildings, a robust young crop of top-credentialed professors, an enthusiastic and generous donor base, and a legislature-funded scholarship system that recruits the best students from around the state.

Many college graduates have found it difficult to find jobs due to the recession over the past few years. However, recent reports have shown that luck may be changing for upcoming graduates. In 2011, the National Association of…
Pearl Harbor Day
Governor Matt Mead has proclaimed that Friday Dec. 7, 2012 be Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. It is earnestly recommended by the few remaining veterans in Wyoming, of the attack on Sunday Dec. 7, 1941 that we all honor the more than 2000 heroes that fell that day at Pearl Harbor, and the more than 1000…
ASUW has a bit of an ego problem
From the $100,000 Steamboat statue to the $170,00 birthday bash, it would seem that ASUW is a little full of its own self-importance. From conversations I have heard and comments made directly to me, I would be fairly confident in stating that the only reason our student senators want to spend big bucks on pointless…
