Students and faculty of Marshall University, family, friends and loved ones of those lost in the 1970 plane crash gather outside on the Memorial Student Center plaze on Thursday, Nov. 14, 2013 to pay tribute on the 43rd anniversary of the crash.

We stand together

Editorial November 13, 2014
It is no longer just our tragic story, but the story of our community. Time did not heal the wounds, family did. The ability of this community to come together and honor the men and women lost 44 years later is what has made this week a time of solemn celebration rather than a painful time of loss.
From the Nov. 14, 1970 edition of The Parthenon

College is stupid, but college is beautiful

Codi Mohr, Executive Editor November 12, 2014

It’s that time of the semester when we all—from seniors down to freshmen—come to the same conclusion: college is stupid. All the assignments start to pile up and are due in the same week. You...

Don’t waste our time, we won’t waste yours

Editorial November 12, 2014

It seems to be a common misconception that college students have flexible time and commitments, and that we can adjust our schedules at the last minute or that we just have time to waste. College students...

Three cheers for 2-D: ‘Interstellar’ breaks the mold, for the better

Taylor Stuck, Managing Editor November 11, 2014

Let me preface this by saying if you haven’t seen “Interstellar” yet, you need to. Make that your Saturday night or Sunday plan. It is a must. Also, there aren’t any spoilers in this. I’m not...

Has Instagram changed our perception of reality?

Bri Shelton, Columnist November 11, 2014

Many of us like to pretend the era of Myspace and embarrassing profile pictures never happened. We all took those selfies with duck faces, peace signs and sometimes facial expressions of our own creation....

Say no to drug ads

Editorial November 11, 2014

Pharmaceutical advertisements are everywhere: magazines, televisions, on the pen you’re writing with, the bench you’re sitting on. It’s no surprise that the drug industry is one of the biggest in...
