Additionally, the chapter will be celebrating their 92nd Founder’s Day this weekend at the Walla Walla Country Club with actives, alums and advisors.

Dear Dr. Danger,
I am a freshman, and I have a problem with my roommate. I love the guy, but every weekend he gets very drunk and returns late at night, and he urinates on me. At first, the first time that is, it was funny. I think the humor surrounding that first incident instilled [...]

“These past three and a half months have been very tough,” Oscars host Jon Stewart told the crowd at Kodak Theater on Sunday night. “The town was torn apart by a bitter writers strike, but I’m happy to say that the fight is over. So tonight…welcome to the make-up sex.”
Stewart, of course, was referring to [...]

Even though campus jobs are widely available, several Whitman students chose to find a job in Walla Walla. They note many benefits: Jobs off-campus usually pay better, can be carried through summer vacation and give students an opportunity to experience a world outside of Whitman. Five students give their perspective on working off-campus, including wages, [...]

Lindsay Lohan, of Mean Girls and LA party scene fame, recently graced the pages of New York Magazine’s spring fashion issue in a recreation of Marilyn Monroe’s infamous last photo shoot.  Bert Stern, 79, who conducted and photographed both the Last Sitting and Lohan’s shoot, captures Lohan, donning a short, blonde wig, copious amounts of [...]

George Bernard Shaw’s controversial “Major Barbara,” directed by Nancy Simon, addresses unending issues concerning faith, morality and its relation to poverty.   The play centers around Major Barbara Undershaft, an officer of the Salvation Army in 1906, and her disillusionment regarding the corruption of Christian leaders to accept money from armament manufacturers.  Barbara Undershaft’s rejection of [...]

According to the 2004 survey by the National Endowment for the Arts called “Reading at Risk,” less than half of Americans read literature for pleasure.  The national decline in reading culture has been seen most notably in America’s youth.  The study also noted that the number of literary readers fell 10 percent between 1982 and [...]

The Walla Walla Community College (WWCC) Gateway Program was created two years ago.

In a flurry of Internet postings, conservatives across the country have begun to attack the Obamas’ patriotism. Their “evidence” for Barack’s anti-Americanism is twofold: 1. He does not wear an American flag pin in his lapel and 2. There is a picture of him not covering his heart during the national anthem. Michelle Obama’s recent [...]

Do you ever feel culturally deprived within the so-called bubble we live in at Whitman? Do you wish there was an efficient way to make up for all the opportunities a city or foreign country would offer without actually leaving the campus? All this and more can be found at the best blog I’ve encountered [...]

“What are those?” Kelley asked me as I popped some capsules into my mouth, swigged water and swallowed.
“Fish oil. Good for your hair, skin. Prevents cancer and heart disease and Alzheimer’s and diabetes. You know, your all around feel-good pill.”
“Weird,” she said. “Fish oil? How many do you take a day?”
“Four. 4,000 milligrams.”
She considered this. [...]

I know you’ve started thinking about it: What are you going to do this summer?
Last summer was lame. You thought it would be cool to see if you could eat an entire box of Otter Pops in one day and then beat Halo IN JAPANESE (easier than it sounds, actually), but after like three days [...]

If there is one thing I know, its cigarettes. I know that if you see someone rolling their own cigarettes, they don’t particularly want to – they’re just broke. And I know that Marlboro Reds are the telltale sign of a loose woman (My apologies to women who smoke Marlboro Reds. Although, maybe if you [...]

Being mocked in the eighth grade is rough, but certainly not exceptional. Being mocked for publicly espousing love for Ralph Nader on the morning of the 2000 U.S. Presidential election is not only rough and exceptional, it’s revealing.
I proudly wore a Nader T-shirt on the day for which Nader would be hated the most he’s [...]
