To the UW Crushes Admins, I liked your page, I really did. It was entertaining, plus it was a great time killer. However, after a post I read last night, I’m absolutely shocked that you crossed the line you said would never be crossed. Rape is a serious issue. I don’t respect men (or so-called…

Dear Editor, Two weeks ago a student brought a Facebook page (UW Crushes) to my attention and expressed concern about the uncivil and inappropriate posts on it by University of Wyoming students. He asked if I would intervene by admonishing our students not to post. However, in light of freedom of speech rights, I chose…

Dr. Amy Banic, assistant professor of computer science at UW, is researching 3D user interfaces and environments to help other scientists visualize and experience their data. Banic contends that scientists being able to see their data in three dimensions will facilitate breakthroughs in the same way two dimensional graphs…
Last week, the Senate voted down President Obama’s proposed bill that would increase security measures around gun ownership. I think this move is absurd and all in all a bad step for our country.

President Brett Kahler and Vice President Kia Murdoch have a lot on their plates for this upcoming summer and academic year. Kahler and Murdoch will be participating in a…
This week I am all about simple because, like the rest of my fellow students, I have finals to think about. I am also thinking comfort food as the stress of tests, 20 page papers and final projects leaves me wanting something warm and tasty and maybe a little fruity. My mom used to make…
