- Dispelling most small own myths (Marlayna Soenneker )
I come from a small town. Most people immediately think of things like gigantic belt buckles, country music and large pickup trucks when they think of small towns.

- Memories of a true friend (Letter to Editor )
Throughout my three years at Saint Mary's College, I have encountered some of the most amazing and remarkable women that I will ever have the chance to know. These women have proven to be faithful friends, voices of reason and comfort in times of sorrow. It is in this spirit that I can call myself truly blessed to have known and loved Kristi Morris — not only did she meet all of the aforementioned criteria, but she far exceeded it.

With the Academy Awards only days away and the stolen Oscar statuettes finally recovered, the nominees for this year's event can begin work on the hardest and most important part of the evening: the loser's smile. With four losers for every winner, most actors must work hard to perfect that gritty grin that is displayed upon hearing another person called to the podium. A grin that says, "Oh yes, you are such a deserving winner," while underneath that teethy, locked-jaw smile, the expletives and comments about the winner's outfit can be unleashed. It is a smile so absolutely fake, and yet so necessary, to avoid being caught on television with a death stare as one's name is not called.
