Emily Crighton Editor-in-Chief We’ve all heard about STEM; Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. STEM is where the jobs, the big paychecks and the fate of the universe as we know it are. We hear it all the time – we need more people in STEM. I agree, but we need […]

Beau Hansen Fall is my favorite time of year; it marks the start of a new school year, the transition to winter, and fantasy football. Free fantasy football at least. Earlier this year, our lawmakers went after the two largest providers of paid fantasy football, Draft Kings and Fan Duel, […]
Lucas Gebhart Sports Editor We here at The Bengal have let the students down when it comes to game coverage. There is no spot on our website, twitter page or weekly paper where you can find the results of every, or for that matter, any game on campus. Since taking […]
Emily Crighton Editor-in-Chief Growing pains are a part of life. They mean you’re moving forward, but that doesn’t mean they are going to be fun. And that doesn’t mean that they aren’t worth it. Growing should be constant, but I believe that there are milestones in life where a great […]
Kandi Turley-Ames Dean College of Arts & Letters Dear Colleagues and Students: A warm welcome to our extended Arts & Letters family! We are excited to start the year with new students and new faculty full of energy and anticipation for the coming year. We are also thrilled to have […]
Emily Crighton Editor-in-Chief Sunday night I sat in front of my computer screen with a Spanish textbook beside me, desperately trying to analyze “Cantar de Mio Cid,” the oldest preserved Castilian epic poem. Even in my seventh year of Spanish, I grapple with finding meanings in writing that aren’t blatantly […]
Emily Crighton Editor-in-Chief Along with the beginning of each semester comes a whirlwind of emotion: excitement, nerves, dread, and relief somehow all at once. This is my next to last whirlwind, and I’ll tell you what – I have a feeling it’s going to be the craziest and best one […]
Lucas Gebhart Sports Editor The reason many like me love fantasy football so much is because we are the GM of our own virtual football team. We draft, make trades and sign free agents. You’re the boss, all decisions go through you and Michael Fabiano is your right-hand man. I’m […]
Shelbie Harris Editor-in-Chief As summer vacation nears the end, I can’t help but anticipate what will be my final two semesters as an undergraduate at Idaho State University. For many, this will also be their final year. For others, they embark on what will hopefully be the most memorable four […]
Kirk Long College campuses across America are “feeling the Bern,” but I am not. Before you call me a fascist, misogynist, racist, or any other “-ist,” let me explicate—I agree with a lot of what Bernie Sanders says, but he is not the solution we need. The Sanders campaign has […]
Miranda Steffey Photo Editor I have had a passion for photography since high school, so when I found out that I could be a photographer and now Photo Editor for The Bengal, I jumped at the chance. I am so glad that I did, it has allowed me to experience […]
Shelbie Harris News Editor I have been a Bengal for the past 10 years of my life. At thirteen-years-old, I watched my father do anything he could to fund his way through college, even if that meant making bumper stickers and selling them to friends and classmates at $5 apiece. […]
Chris Banyas Editor-in-Chief And now my time has come. No more words from dead authors. No more song lyrics. No more referring to pieces of music. No more, no more, no more. I have but to acknowledge those who helped me in my time here, who made a significant impact […]
Patricia Terrell Idaho State University, Vice President for Student Affairs Dear Editor: Recently in an editorial, The Bengal implied that Idaho State University has not been proactive about supporting our international students, including our Middle Eastern students and that our response to the recent criminal acts has been lukewarm. In […]
Lucas Gebhart Sports Editor Turner Hall is worse than it looks. The building itself looks like it is about ready fall over if the wind blows too hard, but living inside of Turner is an even worse experience than looking at the building. I have lived in Turner for the […]
