I want to tell you about a conspiracy that’s been going on right under our noses for almost 40 years and has bled into the upper echelons of society. You see, the most famous video game franchise in history is absolute bullshit. It doesn’t make any sense. It’s the classic…

“I think that the only real way we can think about the Earth and our human relationship to the Earth,” said Professor of Environmental Studies Colleen Carpenter, “is in an interdisciplinary manner.” This term, Carls will have the opportunity to approach a truly global issue — water activism — through…
ARCN 246, “Archaeological Methods and Lab,” is a relatively new addition to Carleton’s archaeology concentration. It is a required course for the minor that, according to the course catalog, “provides a hands-on introduction to the entire archaeological process through classroom, field, and laboratory components.” For its first “four or five”…
Spring Concert, affectionately known on campus as Sproncert, returned on May 21 after two years of COVID-19 cancellations.

I recently discovered I have a mental disorder. The truth is, though, this isn’t my first rodeo with the mental health industry. I received my first diagnosis when I was in third grade. It was for something called “nonverbal learning disorder.” Apparently, I was reading too early, socializing too late…
The bravest journalists plunge into active war zones in search of stories to tell. I, on the other hand, went to the Office of Health Promotion in Sayles for one of its weekly Student Wellness Associate Dog sessions. I cannot say there was a war going on, but I was…
