Pulled Pork Fundraiser Helps Howell Memorial Scholarship
Friends of the late Southern Oregon student, Alex Howell, are continuing their campaign to establish a scholarship in his name. On Sunday, Sammich adjusted their hours to hold a fundraiser which donated all of its proceeds to the GoFundMe account set up to achieve their goal. If the account can reach $25,000 then the […]
Opinion of Campus Coffee
No matter what time of the day, from the morning hours to late night cramming for a mid-term, students are prone to indulging in a cup of coffee or two. As a coffee drinker myself, I’ll take a cup of joe around the clock. If I don’t have at least three to four cups a day […]
Annual International Dinner: Tastes From Around the Globe
Japan, Armenia, Germany and Peru are just some of the countries represented on a lengthy table of international delicacies. Wednesday night, the International Student Association on campus hosted the annual International Dinner in the Stevenson Union’s Rogue River Room. The dinner is a fundraising event that includes a three course meal featuring food from all […]
The Medieval Arts Club
En garde! The Medieval Arts Club at Southern Oregon University meets every Thursday evening from 6-9 in the Stevenson Union Arena. According to the club statement via club President Emily Taylor, the MAC is “a club dedicated to the preservation and practice of medieval swordplay and arts.” This practice is entirely different than live action […]
SOU Snapchat: More or Less Moralless
*Pictures taken from the Snapchat story have been edited When a campus filter was made available to Snapchaters on and around Southern Oregon University last fall, it proved that the school is no exception in America’s growing obsession with ephemeral data, or “disappearing pictures,” a fairly new development in social media. It’s not uncommon to […]
Look Sharp! It’s Recruiting Time
Currently, Southern Oregon coaches are scattered along the West Coast in hopes of securing the coveted signatures of high school and junior college football players. To say the West Coast is a hotbed for recruiting for Raider coaches is an understatement. Of the 119 players currently on the roster, only 3 are not based in […]
The Black-Market Parking Industry
The scarcity of student parking at Southern Oregon University has birthed a black-market industry of counterfeit parking permits. Yearly permits at SOU are $140 for both resident and commuter and as I discovered last week, students have differing experience(s) with parking. There are a total of 2,200 resident, faculty, and commuter parking spots, while 3,000 […]
Raider Students Flying High on Cash Crop
“Just say no to drugs.” The slogan that’s been pushed into the American consciousness for decades continues today. What Nancy Reagan started in the 1980’s has evolved into commercials with dogs that talk and deflated friends. The idea is that through this campaign, young people will be conditioned to “just say no,” to the hooded […]
Campus Parking: “It’s a Battle.”
To avoid situations like the one above, refer to the SOU campus parking map. “Parking is one of the top five universal problems on campuses,” says Frederick Creek, director of Southern Oregon University Campus Public Safety. Although Creek accepts parking as an issue on university campuses in general, he doesn’t think SOU has a lack […]
The Smoking Pen
Large clouds of funny smelling smoke, a handheld device the size of a pen and a user who will tell you how much healthier it is than cigarettes, welcome to smoking: next generation. About 10 percent of U.S. adults now vape also known as using e-cigs, according to the online Reuters/Ipsos poll of 5,679 Americans conducted […]
