Dylon Harrison Managing Editor Throughout the world, sign languages are used by Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals to give them access to a visual language. This allows them to effectively communicate without the use of spoken language. These sign languages have become an invaluable tool for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals […]
Logan Ramsey News Editor We all know that money buys politics. It’s not a secret. American’s trust in government has been declining for a long time, and for good reason. Across both sides of the political aisle, it’s widely recognized that we don’t have a government that works for the […]
Logan Ramsey News Editor The people who raise us as children and remember our first moments are also the ones who first influence our beliefs. As a child, I assumed my parents were always right. Were your parents stout conservatives? Were they compassionate liberals? What if I said either way, […]
Dylon Harrison Managing Editor We all know that businesses around the world are being hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. The theater industry has not been immune to this. Theaters all over the country were forced to shut down at the beginning of the pandemic, resulting in losses of income […]

Kaitlyn Hart Life Editor Writing has always been my passion. I feel that it is my purpose in life to live as a journalist. To provide information to the public, let people tell their stories on a bigger platform, and to do all of these things through the written word. […]
Dylon Harrison Interim Editor-in-Chief This past Sunday, Mar. 8, Daylight Savings Time began. Because of this, all clocks are set ahead one hour and won’t go back until Nov. 1. For me, this lost hour is a big deal. Whenever we jump forward an hour, I feel jetlagged for at […]
Logan Ramsey News Editor Contrary to how the headline looks, this column is in no way meant to be alarmist. Perhaps the worst outcome we could see to the spread of Covid-19 is mass hysteria. However, there is reason to be worried. People seem to be in two different camps, […]
Logan Ramsey News Editor Now that President Trump has been acquitted, we have more questions than answers about what will happen to our country. Even if he had been convicted, we’d still have questions, but at least we’d know we wouldn’t be stuck with him for another four years. I’ve […]
Dylon Harrison Interim Editor-in-Chief This past Monday, Feb. 2, ISU cancelled all classes starting before 10 a.m. due to snowy weather and poor road conditions. While it was nice to have this extra time for roads to be cleared before students began their commutes, it wasn’t enough. Frankly, there is […]
Travis Smith Former Sports Editor When I heard the news that Los Angeles Laker legend Kobe Bryant had died in a helicopter crash with eight other people, including his 13-year-old daughter I immediately assumed it was a hoax.
