  • Desire

    by JENNY GREEN The craving is overpowering my senses, drowning my mortal thoughts. I know that I must resist the temptation, but it’s so hard. How unjust that something so appealing, so enticing can exist but I know it to be true. I have tasted Heaven and I want more. I try once more to…

  • A Vibrator, a Raw Duck, the Cops, and an Old Man

    by CAROLYN VENTER For those who don’t know, Sociology Professor Geraint Osborne teaches a controversial class every two years where you can learn about genital piercings, witch burnings and social stigma.

  • Behold the Splendour of the North!

    by CRYSTAL ROSENE This month’s subject is a bit closer to Earth than those of the previous articles, but I felt it was relevant.

  • Knowing when to Fold ‘Em: What a Withdrawal Really Means on Your Transcript

    by JENNIFER HA Augustana’s liberal arts curriculum has allowed (and, at times, forced) me to take courses in a variety of disciplines. As a crotchety, old fifth year, I have a transcript and a grade point average of which I am extremely proud—a result of taking a wide range of courses I found interesting and…
