We can all finally take a deep breath. Spring break has arrived, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. We’re all worn out — as we’re sure you are, too — and in need of a good, solid break from all of the work, school and stress that comes with this time of year. Maybe you’ve had three tests this week, or a big project due, or maybe you’re just homesick and want to sleep in your own bed for a week. Whatever your reason is, you... read more »
Throughout the recent Government of the Student Body election season, we worked hard to provide readers with information on the candidates. Readers themselves worked hard, too, voicing their opinions by sending us a myriad of letters to the editor and posting a wide variety of comments on our Web site. Most of the discussion has been productive — or civil, at the very least. But one group of Web site comments in particular caught our eye.... read more »
It’s March, and we all know what that means: madness! For Iowa State, it begins at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday in Kansas City’s Sprint Center with the men’s basketball team set to take on Texas. Now, we admit, it hasn’t all been sunshine and rainbows for the men this season — what with all of the injuries, suspensions and defections — but there couldn’t possibly be a better time to make a run than in the Big 12... read more »

Dear Olympics, Please come back. We miss you terribly, you know. You were always there for us when we needed you. When homework forced us to stay awake into the wee hours of the morning, it was OK, because you weren’t asleep, either. You faithfully kept us company for two weeks, when, suddenly, like the snuffing of a torch, you left us with our books and laptops, and only the memory of the Norway curling team’s argyle pants.

KaleidoQuiz 2010 is in the books. The 26-hour radio quiz show, put on by ISU’s student radio station, KURE, took place this weekend, and hopefully you had a chance to take part in the craziness. KQ, embodies the spirit of college-ism. Trivia questions, read over the air every six minutes, range from ambiguous (What is rule #34), to ridiculous (What brand is the MU’s revolving door?) and almost always end in a frantic sprint, phone... read more »
