by Dakota Funk College is a time of enjoyment. It is a time when people go out and discover who they are by meeting new friends, learning new information and going beyond the realms of a student’s life. But what if a student has a disability and can’t do the same things as other students can whether it be in mobility, socializing, learning and mental deficiencies? Can they be protected in

THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES Nelson Rokke The identity of the people who make up the United States are unfairly portrayed; stereotypical stigmas often overshadow the issues surrounding citizens of interest both domestically and abroad. Too often, American citizens are classified into groups based on generic criteria such as race, wealth, or political affiliation. The classification of

By: Ross Hageman According to the Pride-Ferrell Marketing textbook, advertising is, “paid non-personal communication about an organization and its products transmitted to a target audience through a mass media.” Basically, they are saying that advertising is the persuasion to use a certain product through mass media.  People are bombarded by tons of advertisements every day that attempt

Drug usage in sports is a topic many are familiar with.  Steroid usage by baseball and football players has been a hot topic in the media over the last twenty years.  Although "performance enhancing drugs" is the focus of everyones concern, why is no one paying attention to the abuse of street drugs by athletes all over the United States?  In 1990 the NCAA took drug testing one step further and

There has been a lot of negative notoriety in the NFL this season due to the changes in the rules.  The NFL has always been an intense, physically demanding sport that has left many of its former and current player’s injury riddled.  Many of the league’s players do not play the amount of seasons or games as other associations such as the NBA, and MLB due to the extreme amount of physical toil the

I vividly remember my days at West High and even then the debate about the school dress code was a hot topic. Then the issue was banning revealing clothing. Now I could see some of their arguments because there will always be those students who want to push the envelope. The fact of the matter back then was the banning of tank tops, and other revealing clothing. I took personal offence to this

Coronary heart disease can cause sudden cardiac arrest, which is when the heart stops beating effectively. Cardiac arrest results in the need for Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), or more importantly, defibrillation. Defibrillation is an electrical shock delivered

By Lauren AndersonFour Loko is a dangerous and caffeinated alcoholic beverage commonly consumed on college campuses. Four Loko was created by Phusion Projects LLC. in 2005. Four Loko started in Ohio when three students from Ohio State University noticed college students mixing alcohol and caffeine, which is common at most U.S. colleges these days. The three students formed Phusion Projects LLC.

The primary focus is if they are effective or are they just another distraction? Getting a cell phone was a big thing

By Megan Boomershine What do driving, drinking, eating and working out have in common? Cell phones. The controversy in recent months over people misusing their cell phones is dull.

Well, it’s reached a whole new level

This school no longer feels like the home I’ve had for the past two years.”

Now that I am well beyond the halfway point of my college career, I am looking back and reflecting on the things that I enjoyed while in college, as well as the things I did not.

By Elizabeth Mace   We’re all familiar with the concept of recycling in order to reduce our carbon footprint on this glorious planet we call Earth.  Process your old products and waste into new materials to prevent the waste of reusable materials. Seems like a great idea right?   Not to mention, recycling also intends to reduce air pollution, water pollution, energy, and amount of space needed

By Alex SwansonEach year college students take out multiple loans to pay for all of the expenses that the next semester of classes will bring. They use these loans to pay for everything from tuition, housing, cost of living, and inevitably text books. If college tuition wasn’t expensive enough try adding hundreds of dollars onto it for an average of five books a semester. Typical text books can

By Anna Schreck It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s--well, Amtrak. And it’s stirring up quite the commotion. With the onset of a plan to establish additional rails in Iowa and the stimulus package President Obama has advocated expanding our slow choo choos to that of the high-speed trains in other parts of the world, you may be seeing ‘Amtrak’ (combination of ‘America’ and ‘Track’) in the headlines

By Derek Rosen There are certain events that every true sports fan should experience before they die. These events vary from the very big well known events such as the Olympics or the World Cup to the small and lesser known events like the Iowa/Iowa State wrestling meet or The All-Africa Amputee Football Tournament.

By Leah Jeffries “Technology is unreliable, it’s as simple as that,” said Hanna Pint, a Spanish education major at the University of Northern Iowa. When asked her thoughts about E-readers; such as Kindle, Nook, Sony E-reader, becoming a staple in education, Pint expressed her concern about the downfall that technology experiences and how schools should not rely on it solely.

By: Nate Hendershot In the United States, the unwary and ignorant can find themselves victims of a plethora of fraudulent endeavors. Ponzi schemes, identity theft, phony cashier's checks, and sweepstakes scams are some of the many types of fraud that perpetuate society today.

By Dru JorgensenIt would be a true statement to say that college football is very popular. It actually ranks as one of the most popular sports in the United States.
