OPINIONS

An anonymous Senior I have always been a second floor dweller in Myrin Library. Itis arguably the best floor in the library, but that is not what I am here to argue about today. What I want to argue today is that the stalls in this bathroom are not all equal...

Isabel Wesman iswesman@ursinus.edu Senior year senior beer! Or not, depending on where you were standing at Molly Maguire’s in Phoenixville this past Halloween. A new tradition of a series of off-campus senior-only outings (first introduced by Kate Hunt of the student government of ‘22), this year’s Halloweekend bar went extremely...

Tatiana Kent takent@ursinus.edu College students nation-wide are in crisis. According to a study in the Journal of Affective Disorders, last school year, over 60% of us met the criteria for at least one mental health problem. According to the American College Health Association, three quarters report moderate or severe psychological...

Miles Noecker (minoecker@ursinus.edu) I've been trying to find a balance between being involved with this fight while centering the voices of those whose rights are on the line.

Jenna Smith (jesmith2@ursinus.edu) The Grizzly asked Freshmen student athletes their opinions regarding their season and how they are adapting to the college athlete life. Freshmen players were asked how their season has been so far, how they are balancing their social and academic life amongst sports, and how the transition...

Ava Compagnoni (avcompagnoni@ursinus.edu) College needs to have a greater impact on students. I do not mean the course load or athletic experience, or if it is the first time you are living with someone else. These are all experiences every student may have when they attend a college or university...

Isabel Wesman (iswesman@ursinus.edu) Could you imagine a Billboard-charting musician performing at Ursinus? Well, that was a reality for students who graduated from Ursinus just a few years ago. Bear Bash, or May Day as it was once called, was a school-wide celebration of music, school spirit, and the upcoming graduation. But...
