Tiers to You, Kid!
By TIERNEY PLUMB As freshmen pilgrims, we immigrate into Fredericksburg from all over world (such as Northern Virginia, New Jersey and New York). But “Freddies” are the natives who settled here first, until we took over part of their land in 1908. The century-long question continues: can we co-exist? As a freshman, rarely does one [...]
Sexclamations: Reduction Act Reduces Access
By ELZ ENGLAND The fiscal irresponsibility of the United States government left the legacy of a 318.62 billion dollar budget deficit in 2005. In light of such an overwhelming figure, Congress passed the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. Subtitle A of Title VI may reach into your pocket. What does this have to do with [...]

Tonight is the Mardi Gras 2007 bash sponsored by Psi U. Kudos to a group of young men who [...]
Sexclamations: Sticky Sex
By ELZ ENGLAND It is our naivete and libido that lead us, college students, to believe that any sex is good sex. In certain regards this demonstrates a healthy sexual attitude, but sometimes this outlook leads us into confusing territory that we don’t know how to navigate. Unfortunately there isn’t a universal road map to [...]
What About Darfur?
By KARI YOOK To those who live in Darfur, the terror of death, starvation, rape, and torture is as prosaic as the earth they walk upon. We have heard these terrifying words so many times that they have all but lost their meanings. However, I urge you to not turn a blind eye to these [...]
Why Help Honduras? Act Locally and Globally
By AMANDA LEMCO Every Tuesday night, increasing numbers of Mary Washington students are filtering into Monroe Hall. They are literally multiplying. He may be difficult to spot through the growing crowds, but Shin Fujiyama is at the center of this movement–the movement for change in Honduras. And he’s got quite a team. What exactly does [...]

By MONICA OWENS For the University of Mary Washington’s women’s basketball team, the CAC Semifinals are the beginning of the end. A season’s worth of hard practice and fine-tuning comes down to the final buzzer as the Eagle women prove their worthiness of making it to the NCAA Tournament. Despite obstacles facing the team, junior [...]
