Will Sorg The Matrix is arguably one of the most culturally influential films of the 90s. From the often-parodied bullet dodging sequence to the right-wing appropriation of the symbolism of red and blue pills that give the choice of staying in the Matrix or waking up, this is a film that has created innumerable discussions and quite literally changed the way blockbusters were made. However, … Continue reading Movies from Swank: The Matrix

Once in a while, we would have a special event – Sweatpants Thursday! Of course, this luxury wasn’t free. We had to donate a couple dollars to a fundraising organization to get … Continue reading Put your pants on, please

Allison Fajt – Staff Writer The women’s swim team took second place at the MIAC conference meet this weekend at the University of Minnesota’s Jean K. Aquatics Center. While St. Kate’s took first place, it was still a successful event because so many of the Gusties qualified for Nationals. The women’s team accumulated 714 points at the end of the meet, only 95 points behind St. … Continue reading Women’s swim & dive has a strong finish
Brady Boie – Staff Writer The Gustavus Men’s Swimming and Diving team enjoyed a victory at the MIAC Championships.
