I’m asking you not to do the easy thing. I think you should take the time, sift through newsreels,... Read more »

September 7, 2012. The first day that I personally saw Halloween candy on sale. We’re already being bombarded with sales of candy and decorations more than a month before the actual event. Even commercials have started to air on television. Everywhere you look, the period of celebration has become... Read more »

Vice President Joe Biden’s speech was a great opportunity for students at UW-Eau Claire. He brought up plenty of topics that were important to the student body and community members, and it is good that we were able to gain a better understanding of them.
