Chris Banyas Editor-in-Chief Albert Einstein is widely recognized for the idea that “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.” I feel that this is an apt description of America’s collective reaction every time a school shooting takes center stage in […]
Sven Alskog Sports Editor The beauty of sport is the unpredictability each day brings. This past Friday and Saturday I witnessed three football games for the majority of the action, with a combined final score of 173-27 once the action was complete. While these games are obviously not going to […]
Chris Banyas Editor-in-Chief I’ve never been shot at, never survived a mortar attack, aerial bombardment or any other type of ordinance detonating nearby. I’ve never seen my friends killed in the once peaceful streets of the city in which we grew up. I’ve never had to risk my life to […]
Sven Alskog Sports Editor Amidst the sea of blue and orange at the Smurf Turf at Albertsons Stadium, it was obvious the difference for a Boise State team with 85 scholarships, compared to 63 for Idaho State. The extra scholarships allow teams out of the FBS like the Broncos to […]
Zackery M. Heern Today, in 2015, the Syrian refugee crisis is the darkest reminder that the world must come together or suffer the consequences. The civil war in Syria has raged since 2011 when it began in the aftermath of the Arab uprisings. After suffering the horrors of war, the […]
Zack Beal Recently I was asked to write an op-ed, one that encouraged students to visit the Idaho Museum of Natural History (IMNH). Naturally this task came with an inherent question, “why should students – or anyone for that matter – visit the museum?” There are of course many answers […]
Jeff Howard Editor-in-Chief Black Rock and Sage It’s generally a good idea to share your biases. Will you be my confessor? I’m not looking for forgiveness, just transparency. Perhaps it’s a bit shameless of me, but I am the editor-in-chief of Black Rock & Sage, the only magazine on the […]
Chris Banyas Editor-in-Chief My experience with ISU edition textbooks peaked when, upon my passage of the Math 1123 course, I subsequently turned the innumerable pages of that tome into packing material with which to ship my other books back to Amazon for a meager return on my investment. Thinking of […]
Chris Banyas Editor-in-Chief Remember that you must die. In Seattle, I paused at a busy intersection to better navigate the city, and I saw a man, more of a boy really, lying on his back atop a cement construct. He was pale, scruffy, filthy, and from the way his arms, […]
GaBrielle Boyd Production Assistant Due to being extremely busy and focused on getting everything done, the countdown to graduation didn’t actually begin for me until three weeks before the final day, and wow! I can’t believe it’s almost here. Four years ago, I transferred to Idaho State University from the […]
Denim Millward Sports Editor by Samantha Chaffin Editor-in-Chief Denim has been part of The Bengal staff since the summer of 2013 when he was shoved into the position of Sports Editor rather than staff writer. Despite his incredibly busy schedule and many commitments, Denim has contributed his entertaining and colorful […]
Samantha Chaffin Editor-in-Chief Three years ago, I applied as a staff writer at The Bengal after hearing about the opportunity from then-Editor-in-Chief Princess Young. At the time, I didn’t think much of it. I figured I would apply and perhaps earn a position as a staff writer that I could […]
Chris Banyas Life Editor I applied for a position with The Bengal after hearing about the posting from a friend. Not thinking that anything would come of it, I fired off my writing samples, resume and application to the email address of a person I had never met, to be […]
Samantha Chaffin Editor-in-Chief In my time at Idaho State University, I’ve had the opportunity to learn both in a “real-world” setting here at The Bengal as well as in the classroom. University learning mediums aside, I’ve also had the chance to learn from the mistakes of others at both a […]
