If you’re like me, you avoided South Patio like a plague this week. It might as well be one considering how much time, energy, and student will it saps every year. Of course, it’s the Preachers. For those of you who don’t know, the preachers are a group of Christians […]

South Patio Preacher is Back, Students Retaliate with Vandalism
Apparently the whole campus is going to hell, or at least that is what our friendly “South Patio Preacher” would like us all to think. The sad thing about it is that many here are, but the way this man is going about trying to save people is wrong. Christians […]
“I Think He Goes Beyond His First Amendment Rights”
I think that he goes beyond his 1st Amendment rights and causes a disruption of campus services. I don’t agree with his philosophy that he can stand on campus and consider it public property. The side walk I agree with, that is public, but when part of my tuition and […]

More on Syria: “Russian Option” is best way to go

An informed public is an empowered public
Safety is an issue on any campus in the U.S. and abroad. But, what do you know about the person sitting beside you? This week, someone asked about Tech’s policies regarding finding out who sex offenders are in the area, and if they attend the University. I did a little […]
