Ask anyone and they’ll tell you: the economy just isn’t what it was. Everyone has been affected by the national drop in employment, and recent college graduates have been some of the hardest hit. Humanities majors, in paticular, have suffered from the dip. As they see their liberal arts degrees failing to produce any form of income, some ask whether or not their chosen major can support them in the professional world. In order to combat this declining number of unemployed Humanities majors, the University has agreed to construct a...

The following is an account of time spent in New York City during Hurricane Sandy by Trail reporter Jezebel Lightly. It’s 5 p.m. on Sunday. I’m on a New York City street, somewhere on the lower East Side. Today, the winds have begun to pick up. Trash is scattered everywhere and it’s beginning to pour. So, at a glance, not too abnormal. But you can feel it. This one’s different. The name “Sandy” is heard muttered beneath people’s breath. Stores everywhere have been boarded up. Pizzerias, with neon lights flickering...

Others have begun to notice discrepancies in the general population they expected to find, here in the city. Instead of the young and hip hustle and bustle...

Earlier this week, a professor accused the University’s Tenure Review Board of hazing its incoming faculty members.  The scandal has evoked several strong responses from the general University population, as well as president Ronald Thomas. “It seems as though we were living with another Greek house without realizing it,” Thomas said earlier today. One professor who agreed with the hazing said, “It really brings the department together and creates a stronger bond between colleagues. After all, it’s about putting the students first.” Professors up for tenure were allegedly paddled with...

During this past weekend, Puget Sound security services faced perhaps their biggest internal crisis to date. At approximately 11 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 14, University of Washington: Tacoma security forces were contacted by University of Puget Sound Security because of extreme “paranormal activity” reported around campus. Shortly after being called, UWT security arrived on the scene to find four Puget Sound campus security officers huddled, shivering in the front seat of a white security truck.  After making it clear that the rescuing officers were not, in fact, ghosts, even going...
