Ice Hockey Story

By |

 Arcadia University, a small college located in Glenside, Pennsylvania, is adding another varsity sport to its selection. The school announced recently that they will be adding ice hockey for both men and women. Ice hockey will join approximately twenty other sports that are offered at the university, including the newly added eSports team. Bringing ice hockey to Arcadia University will offer new experiences for current future students, as well as opening up an opportunity for high school hockey players looking to compete at the division three level. 

Starting in 2021-22, students at Arcadia will be able to lace up their skates and hit the ice for the first time in school history. They will join only a few other division three schools in Pennsylvania to offer both men and women ice hockey.

Helen DeWitt, “Diary of Being Stalked” (London Review of Books, 4153 words)

By |

Helen DeWitt’s piece “Diary of Being Stalked” gives us an unconventional viewpoint of a woman who is being stalked and how not every stalking case is the same. Her stalker “E” was often too helpful and affectionate, everyday showing up when her lights were on and smothering her with unneeded help. She tells her story beginning in the present,the main points being a flashback and then bringing readers to the present again for the conclusion. She describes her stalker with such ease and as if he were any other person, which really throws off the reader. I would definitely say a thing to steal about this piece is that it definitely could be relatable for stalking victims. Along with that it was an emotionally written piece, but I didn’t sense an intense anger in the writings, she felt almost sympathetic for stalker.

Democratic Socialism for the Youths

By |

The recent political turmoil within the United States has led to both an increase in the interest of politics and interest in radical politics, especially leftist ideology. Democratic socialism has been on the rise in the United States since the growing popularity of Bernie Sanders and congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez. It has also been used as a way to fight back against Donald Trump and his bigoted, outright fascist policies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF_nULoyi9o

Democratic socialism has been particularly en vogue with younger generations. Capitalism has largely been considered less favorable with youths, especially during the current Trump administration's budget cuts and push towards profits and large corporations.

Is America Any Safer? (18,294 Words)

By |

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/09/are-we-any-safer/492761/

Before I start this, I just wanted to mention the author Steven Brill, best known for the magazine The American Lawyer, also shares the same name with a filmmaker best known for directing films like Heavyweights and Mr. Deeds, as well as the writer for the Mighty Ducks trilogy. I just think that's very funny and wanted to share that. Anyways, this article was an enlightening one. I was three years old, too young to truly understand the impact and shifts that emerged after the devastating WTC attacks. So reading how the country shifted in terms of security, with new bills, higher budgets, and different proposals was well worth a read.

Katie Baker, “What Do We Do With These Men?” (New York Times, 1600 words)

By |

Our world seems to be changing for the better, besides the very real issue of global warming that will eventually wipe us all out. But morally speaking, we are getting better. Each day we take a step forward towards loving and accepting each other, improving equality, and punishing those who have done wrong in the past. Reading this article, however, I felt as though my optimistic bubble was burst. Baker opened my eyes on the disgusting men who I believed "get what they deserve", to realize they are actually just recycled.
