When it comes to the history of the Marching “100,” it’s no secret that males have dominated the world of music and marching for quite some time. But I have marched with the band for four years and have never heard of any rule preventing female members from becoming a […]

Faculty member acts unethically over concert
The homecoming concert that struck a nerve with so many students is now history. As predicted, tickets sales indicate that the show was a flop. With Lawson Gym at only 35 percent capacity on the night of the concert (2,800 tickets sold and 8,000 seats), hopefully SGA learned its lesson […]
Students’ rights overlooked
Despite the fact that students are what keep the university alive, we don’t seem to have too many rights. Ridiculous tuition hikes occur yearly, as the expected pool of loans we’ll soon drown in, and spend the rest of our lives paying off, get deeper and deeper. Even though the […]
What the FAM?

Death toll signals need for change
All wars start with enthusiasm. Countries on both sides believe they will be the clear victors in whatever is the conflict of the day. America is no different. We charge in, face-first, guns blazing and saluting the flag with M4 Carbines and Desert Eagles. We devastate countries with very little […]
CBS five inspire student reporters
After walking into Hotel Duval last Thursday, I was mesmerized by the ambiance and style of the hotel. I felt as if I wasn’t in Tallahassee. From the valet parking to everyone walking in looking important, it really felt like we were in a different atmosphere. As I was lifted […]
Nightlife becoming a bit too risky
On Saturday night, at one of the many homecoming parties going on for the weekend, a student was stabbed several times. This shocking event is all the more horrifying because it didn’t happen in a back alley late at night, or under the cover of shady dealings on a street […]
