Jonas Doerr – Opinion Columnist Snowflakes fall, Christmas trees twinkle, and everyone is smiling and happy. Right? Wrong. It’s not the most wonderful time of the year, it’s the most stressful. Exams are looming, projects are piling up, and when you step outside your ears feel like they were dipped in liquid nitrogen. Students have problems, and lots of them. Fortunately, as every child knows, there … Continue reading Is Santa Claus coming to town?
Hailey Brune – Opinion Columnist Don’t get me wrong. I am in no way an expert on the STEAMery, or sandwiches, or food for that matter. I haven’t tried everything on the menu either. For that to be possible I’d have to stop getting the same three things, and I am a creature of habit. I’ve never had their vegetarian or breakfast sandwich options. There’s … Continue reading My humble opinion on the STEAMery sandwiches
Jonas Doerr – Opinion Columnist Gusties have been doing some awful, awful things. Or so it would seem, since they are being denied basic rights given even to prisoners of war. They are doing awful things like leaving their garbage in the bathroom and stealing exit signs – truly despicable. Clearly the hoodlums causing this mischief deserve to be punished, but the way it happens is … Continue reading In a baffling move, Gustavus pushishes first-years for things that they did
David Eide – Opinion Columnist I’ll just come right and out and say it, Chicago is one of my all-time favorite cities. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that it’s my favorite city overall. I was recently in Chicago for a Model United Nations conference, and it only reinforced my love for the windy city. So, without further ado, here is why I … Continue reading Chicago: the best city
Clare Greeman – Avid Succession Watcher This isn’t about dark academia, so don’t get excited. Off the back of my DWMs article (*see last issue- Clare) I will now show you the many wonders of the campus novel, despite the fact that I’m sure all of us read too many “campus novels” to begin with. I assure you that these are not homework assignments or untruths … Continue reading College literature for those who read too much for college already
Hailley Brune – Opinion Columnist I’d never given ice cream manufactures much thought. Over the summer I was with my sister and she went to buy some Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. At first I judged her, verbally of course, for buying such expensive ice cream. She argued back saying how it tastes better, they have good morals, and the ice cream is more expensive so … Continue reading Ben and Jerry’s

Jonas Doerr – Opinion Columnist My first thought was aliens. What else could explain the concrete shapes scattered around our campus? Thigh-high cylinders outside of Plex. Taller cylinders and blocky sideways arch outside the campus center. Even more cylinders outside of the chapel. It seemed to me like it had to be a beacon to aliens: “Hey, check out our new science building! Or our … Continue reading What are those things?
Marcjanna Taylor – Opinion Columnist Over the weekend the Gustavus Adolphus Equestrian Team participated in their first hunt seat of the season. It was a two day show which is typical for equitation. Only three of the team members had rode during the show, one of the three participated in the jumping section but all three participated in the flat section. Sophia Solari, a member of … Continue reading Why Equestrian is a sport
David Eide – Opinion Columnist On October 12, it was announced that the Linnaeus Arboretum would be renamed to “The Arboretum at Gustavus”. I was fully supportive of stripping the name of Carl Linnaeus from the arboretum as several of his ideas contributed to the development of scientific racism in the 19th century. Keeping his name affixed to the arboretum would have done far more harm … Continue reading The Arb deserves a better name
