Senior privileges

Written by Dann Fry · March 9, 2010  

Traditionally, seniors are given the “privilege” of walking BSM’s halls sans hall pass second semester. It’s a nice gesture, but I’m pretty sure I’ve been doing that without negative consequence for years. A privilege many of us would enjoy, among others,... (more...)

Pawlenty’s budget too stingy

Written by Sean Simonson · March 9, 2010  

Facing a Minnesota budget deficit of almost $1.2 billion, Governor Tim Pawlenty’s first reaction is to cut, cut, and cut some more. While on the surface a cut-spending-and-taxes tactic might appear to be beneficial, those who are hardest hit by the recession are also receiving the brunt... (more...)

When media goes too far

March 2, 2010  

Since its origination, the media has used unfortunate events to score big ratings and draw in a larger viewer pool, but when is it plainly inappropriate and even disrespectful? After the video of the death of the Georgian luger, Nodar Kumaritashvili, during this year’s Olympics was aired... (more...)

Pregnancy fad

Written by Sam Thomas · March 2, 2010  

The trend of girls being stick thin on television has rapidly switched to a trend of gaining forty pounds. All of the sudden, it seems that most TV shows consist of either a sixteen-year-old pregnant girl or women having surprise babies. Why? Because sex sells in the world of television, and... (more...)

Winter Olympics

Written by Sean Simonson · February 25, 2010  

Too few people take the time to support the men and women representing our county. No, I’m not talking about the soldiers in Iraq and Afganistan, though they don’t receive proper recognition from the American people either, but rather those proud athletes in the winter Olympic games.... (more...)

Black history should be incorporated year round

Written by Alana Profit and Mickey Caulfield · February 24, 2010  

One month for Jack-o’-Lanterns, one month for Christmas trees, and one month for black people. Although it was founded to remind Americans that black people did have history, Black History Month has now become an anachronism, one of the last bastions of the segregation it was formed in... (more...)

Abstinence only in health classes not realistic

Written by Theresa Lau · February 9, 2010  

We attend a private Catholic school and with that, we are going to have to accept certain things: Prayer, Mass, religion classes, Catholic ideals, fine. Despite all of this, I feel it is necessary for BSM to teach both safe sex and abstinence in health classes. To create healthy, educated adults... (more...)

Valentine’s Day: depressing and shameless

Written by Sean Simonson · February 3, 2010  

Every year, at the end of January, as chocolate roses take their annual place next to every cash register, I dread the start of the worst holiday season of all: Valentine’s Day. Yet another example of a Christian tradition, originating from the martyr St. Valentine, gone secular (and... (more...)

Letter from the President: Relay for Life will be held in 2010

Written by Dr. Bob Tift · January 22, 2010  

One of my intense passions is the study of leadership. I find myself compelled to attend conferences, enroll in graduate courses, and read anything that I can about leadership. In my years of study I have learned a great deal about leadership. Effective leadership often involves making unpopular... (more...)

Twilight: team Edward vs. team Jacob

Written by Annalisa Huge and Margaret Miller · December 7, 2009  

Team Edward or Team Jacob? Edward Not only does he glimmer beautifully in the sunlight, have the ability to read minds, and drive a shiny, silver Volvo, but Edward also shows all the characteristics of the perfect soulmate.
