Raquel Vaughn- Gustavus Adolphus College, the place where “make your life count” takes on no truer meaning. What better place to get the true liberal arts experience? What better place to get involved? Many Gusties find their place on campus. Some find multiple. With the phrase “over-involved Gustie” being thrown around, I wanted to truly understand what all the fuss was about. Is getting involved … Continue reading The over-involved Gustie
Jonas Doerr- It’s getting closer. It’s looming before me. Soon I’ll have to make a decision. To hold, or not to hold? Normally doors are a simple thing. Just reach out one hand, pull, and step through. Sometimes those little things called locks get in the way, but that’s only a problem for burglars and pranksters. But when someone is walking behind you, it becomes … Continue reading Hold that door!

Will Sorg- In the opening chapter of the worst book I have ever read, Scientologist founder and human airbag L. Ron Hubbard describes his pseudo-scientific text as an adventure that will change the reader. This is true. I was changed by this book. However, this adventure and subsequent change was not like Around The World in 80 Days or 10,000 Leagues Under The Sea. It … Continue reading Book Review: Dianetics: the New Science of Mental Health
