Will Sorg- Moneyball, if you can believe it, is about baseball and economics. Your dad probably loves this movie – and for good reason. It has the king of the actors your dad likes: Brad Pitt. On top of that, it’s written primarily by Aaron Sorkin, writer of The West Wing, A Few Good Men, and more dad-related media. Here’s the interesting thing: I do … Continue reading Movies from Swank: Moneyball
Will Sorg- It is Jan. 30th, 2024, as I am writing this. About 4 hours ago, I left the movie theater. I realized while I was sitting in my car, shaking, that I had to write a review on The Zone of Interest.

Elliot Steeves- A brand new Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging questionnaire allows anyone on Gustavus Adolphus’s campus to directly contact the President’s Council for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging with any questions that they have about Gustavus’s DEIB policies, events, and other initiatives. The idea for the questionnaire started in a very unorthodox place. Over the last few years, the PCDEI has sought to create … Continue reading PCDEI opens up new form for feedback
Sophia White- By the time this article reaches the rest of campus, my 19th birthday will be in two days. The last year in my teens. Yet 19 just feels like a number that means nothing in terms of age. It feels awkward to be placed between 18 and 20. At 18 you become an adult (in most states), which is such a freeing feeling. … Continue reading Feelings surrounding getting older
Houston McLaury- Well Gusties, welcome back to Gustavus! It’s been too long, about a month and two weeks since we’ve all been on campus together, and boy is it interesting!

We’ve continued to be snow-free, with temperatures so warm I haven’t had to wear … Continue reading The final farewell to J-Term
Jonas Doerr- Allegedly, there was a Super Bowl last Sunday. Although the commercials and halftime show were arguably subpar, the game did have an exciting finish, so it might be worthy of being called Super. But where was the bowl? How could there be a Super Bowl without a bowl? The first assumption might be that the trophy is a bowl. It is not. It … Continue reading The Super Bowl vs supper bowls
