The tale of the Tuskegee Airmen is one of the more poignant civil rights stories in U.S. history, and “Red Tails,” which premiered January 20, captures the spirit of these American heroes and their strength in the face of adversity. The film proved unable to deliver resounding performances and only contained two substantive relationships, that of [...]
I wrote on my Facebook wall a couple weeks ago, “Being in one’s last semester is equal parts terrifying, joy inducing, and here. Bring it on.” I wanted to take the opportunity, in this, the first editorial of my last semester to paint the picture of just what that looks like. This short message is [...]

The duo, who released their debut album in February of 2011, has captured audience attention with their unique style and harmony. Those who have kept up with Christian [...]

On Monday evening, I headed to the lecture hall in the Science and Math Complex to hear some Invisible Children roadies speak and show a documentary about the Lord’s Resistance Army, also known as the LRA, and its current stance in Africa. The main theme that kept coming up while we watched the documentary is [...]
I hate driving on campus, especially on 8th Street. I am terrified that someone will run a stop sign and find themselves implanted in the side of my vehicle. This is a reasonable fear being that there have been four wrecks on 8th Street, alone, in the past few months. The Lee Clarion set out [...]
Most of us enjoy traveling. Am I right? The bustle in airports, exuberant flight attendants and, of course, the destination that awaits us hold fresh aromas, images and people that often captivate us.
