Vocations classes host speakers from the Archdiocese

May 11, 2012

Giulia Imholte and Katie Sisk

The hype turned out to be more than the actual event. In November the Archdiocese announced plans to have speakers on marriage visit all of the Minneapolis/St. Paul Catholic Schools, and what students expected to be a controversial discussion––after reading about the heated question and answer session at DeLaSalle––ended up being an uneventful,... Continue Reading

John McCain: Maverick?

Evan Bakker
September 24, 2008

Eight years ago, John McCain sparred with George W. Bush in the Republican primaries, dropping out of the race after below-the-belt campaigning from the other side as well as a decisive defeat on Super Tuesday. McCain had been kicked off the band-wagon of sleazy politicians and unhonorable opportunists,... Read more »

Evan Bakker
August 21, 2008

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has taken a tough line of attack, demanding that Russia quickly exit the democracy of Georgia, whose territory is in danger as Russia refuses to shake loose its hold on the neighboring country.

May 29, 2008

As seniors are counting down the hours until we are done with high school forever, some of us are looking forward to never seeing the inside of BSM ever again.

Clinton’s Campaign Plagued by Wishful Thinking

Evan Bakker
May 27, 2008

As the primary season tapers off and Obama and McCain roll up their sleeves for the general election, Hillary Clinton remains oblivious to the cries of the people and the media to gracefully exit the stage.

Media influence destroying politics

Anna Wyatt
May 12, 2008

The funny thing about today’s politics is that about 90 percent of the time it has absolutely nothing to do with political issues. Instead, the mass media specializes in taking comments out of context, displaying unflattering photographs, blowing up minor and insignificant incidents into fantastic... Read more »

Economic Issues Caused by Republicans

Andy Lesser
May 11, 2008

For decades rich Republicans have been taking advantage of people’s legitimate claims to the second amendment and pro-life stances to put more money in their own pockets.  Ever since Reagan popularized the harrowing “trickle down” theory of economics, the rich have been getting richer,... Read more »

The Iraq War 5 years later: What are we doing?

Evan Bakker
May 2, 2008

Over the last five years, one issue has become the root of all misfortune in our country. Operation Iraqi Freedom –– as our government likes to call it –– has affected Iraqis, factory workers, the health care system, American soldiers, and will possibly leave the darkest mark on our generation. Over... Read more »

Amelia Raether
May 1, 2008

Many BSM students have volunteered at Sharing and Caring Hands by serving meals to the homeless, elderly, and mentally ill.

Name brand schools not necessarily the best colleges

Anna Wyatt
April 30, 2008

Until you die, people will ask you what college you attended. This, of course, is the motivation for attending a very exclusive, very prestigious university or college. And the tool of this hedonistic cycle is the U.S. News and World Report, which rates colleges and universities by using a specific formula. This... Read more »

Celebrity endorsements not important

Anna Wyatt
April 21, 2008

So I know I may not be a diehard Obama follower, but am I really seeing what I am seeing? Halle Berry for Obama. Maya Angelou for Clinton. Will.I.Am for Obama. Barbara Streisand for Clinton. Instead of worrying which celebrities have endorsed the candidates, we should worry more about what kind of policies... Read more »
