Be the Change You Want to See
Morris Student DFL Column On the International Day of Peace I had the great fortune to speak with several students about the importance of registering to vote (after all, peace has never grown from reticence!) Perhaps using more clichés than was necessary – It’s a rare right to exercise in this world; privilege; privilege; privilege … Continue reading Be the Change You Want to See
The Common Man Partisan
Morris Student DFL Column If you are like most youth, “politics” is something that happens only once every four years when there is a George W. Bush or Barack Obama at the top of the ticket.

I’m Coming Out: I’m a Unionist
When a close friend brought this to my attention, I believed it to be nothing more than a lame joke. You know, the kind that seems so absurd that it just can't be true; it's the joke you make when mocking Arizona, Georgia and Texas.

“The Rise and Fall of Common Decency”
One of the recent editions of the City Pages had a cover story (the article can be found here) regarding the University of Minnesota-Morris' most infamous alumnus, Joseph Basel.
