Louisiana slowly shrinking, we must act now before too late

The buzzing of your alarm starts your day. You wake-up, shower, get dressed, grab a bite and go to class. You spend the entire day in lectures, hanging out with friends and possibly work.
In those seemingly normal 24 hours, 24 football field sizes of Louisiana’s land sinks into the Gulf of Mexico every hour, according [...]

Work hard, play just as hard while in college

Well it’s the end of another school year.  For some of us we get to start the process all over again in August, but for others like me, this is it.
The past four years have gone by in a blur while at the same time dragging on.  They have been years full of adventure, boredom, [...]

Letter to the editor: SGA president Calvin Stafford says farewell

Greetings Warhawks!
As president of the ULM Student Government Association, I wanted to take the opportunity to address each of you one final time. However, unlike in past times, this time I am able to address you in a more pleasing fashion.
Over this last year, I have been honored and extremely humbled to serve as president [...]

Letter to the editor: Wyatt stands by opinion on sex

 
Chelsea Wyatt strikes one more time, knowing that the English major Taylor Diaz seems very knowledgeable on the nature of sex and making it seem the way I perceive sex is very idealistic, cute. Marrying is not just a “novel concept,” as Diaz said.
It  is the right way, as far as the Bible is concerned. [...]

We must remain patient amidst hate, terrorism

During the annual Boston Marathon, someone set off two bombs that killed three people and injured 180.
My gut reaction, after being disgusted at all the senseless violence, was hoping that America would be patient, patient with waiting on the authorities to discover who was responsible for the crimes and not rushing to conclusions.
Some say it’s [...]

Material things only last so long

“Material things I thought had so much value didn’t really have any value at all.” This quote by Lionel Richie expresses the realization that most people come to long after college and well into life.
People are able to look back and appreciate those things that they had, but realize that those things did not make [...]

Embrace present; grasp,understand history

A couple of weeks ago, everybody’s favorite teen idol, Justin Beiber, paid a visit to Anne Frank’s house in Amsterdam while on a European tour.
After a private tour of the house, Justin wrote a little note inside of the visitor’s book that read, “Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great [...]

Hawkeye POV: Students have right to know what happens on campus

This past semester has been a doozey. The past week alone has tugged our heartstrings and weighed on our minds.
Our semester opened with two police officials leaving their offices after being forced on administrative leave, and all the university had to say was no comment.
These gentlemen were the ones who upheld law and order on [...]

Letter to the Editor: Wyatt’s take on sex naive, idealistic and hypocritical

Chelsea Wyatt has struck again, this time defending not child beating, but Puritanical sexual values while simultaneously dallying in slut-shaming.
Wyatt seems to believe that she has special insight into what the nature of a “true marriage” should compromise. Historically, her romanticized idea of marriage is extremely new—women getting to choose who they want to marry [...]

Student Senate lacks ethics, sound judgment

Well they did it. The SGA finally passed a referendum. Congratulations to everyone in SGA on your hard work and dedication.
However, the simple truth is I voted down the referendum. Why? Well there are many reasons.
The number one reason was because I don’t think SGA has shown they possess the ethical fortitude of one who [...]
