By Ryder White Music Journalist Punk has been around for a while now. Depending on who you ask, you may hear that it has been around since the mid-1950s when suburban parents were afraid that their children would become devil worshippers when rock ‘n’ roll first started receiving radio air play. Some say it started in the late 1960s when the likes of the MC5 and Iggy and the Stooges […]
By Celeste Parler Web Content Contributor Stranger Things season 4 volume 1 was released May 27, 2022, and has since made a significant cultural impact. I associate the initial debut of the series with the revival of Winona Ryder’s acting career and the emergence of a new science fiction saga. Each season introduces new side characters to interact with the central reoccurring characters and to add to their development as […]
By Jemia Spence Web Content Contributor Earlier this semester my professor asked the question, are press releases dead? This topic sparked an interest because of my major and I wanted to know, digitally, how society has changed. So, I researched the discussion and personally think that press releases are not dead. However, they do not generate as much press. There are several reasons why press releases have been around for […]
By Hannah Walls Web Content Contributor If you're anything like me, the recent daylight saving "spring forward" was much needed and really lifted me out of my winter funk. When I heard about the Sunshine Protection Act that was passed by the Senate recently, I was pretty happy about the concept of permanent daylight saving time, and, of course, a little curious. What exactly would the passage of this bill […]
By Christian Villarreal Music Journalist When a band or artist has a lot of songs across multiple albums, I get disheartened. I enjoy discovering a new artist that has a good supply of music that can offer a diverse palette of tone, but it seldom works out that way. More specifically, I have grown to hate albums. Saying this seems strange, but the more music I listen to, the more […]
By Lea Mercado Web Content Assistant Manager During this year's legislative session, Gov. Greg Abbott signed HB 3979, which restricts how Texas educators can discuss current events or controversial elements of American history, especially those regarding race and oppression. Despite lacking mention of "Critical Race Theory," the bill symbolizes Abbott's efforts to "abolish Critical Race Theory in Texas."

By Calvin MillerWeb Content Contributor In my last article "America's Religious Decline: Our Changing Country," I talked about how religious affiliation is on the decline as well as church membership. In this article, I want to discuss how other factors in society seem to be on the rise in proportion. Disclaimer: I am in no way taking any side, religious or not, or saying one thing is right while another […]
By Allison SchroederWeb Content Contributor I started watching “American Idol” when I was around 10 years old. The first season I watched from the beginning to the end was season 10, the season with “American Idol” contestants Scotty McCreery, Lauren Alaina and Haley Reinhart. Throughout the entire season, I imagined these three in the top three positions and hoped that Scotty McCreery would win, because at the time, I lived […]
By Calvin MillerWeb Content Contributor On March 29th, 2021, a Gallup poll showed that church membership fell below a majority (50%) for the first time in recorded American history, adding to a now very steady decline. Gallup is an 86-year-old company based in Washington D.C. that conducts opinion polls worldwide. They are a very reputable firm and one of the best in the industry.
