by the CowlJan 01, 2010“Well, I guess it's that time of year again. And no, I'm not just talking about the exorbitant numbers of frayed, Abercrombie denim miniskirts you are seeing around campus. What I am talking about, however, is just as infectious as said denim miniskirts. Yes, it's March.”
This Is What Racism Looks Like
by the CowlJan 01, 2010“Black Studies was introduced as a discipline on this campus a number of years ago. As a Black Studies minor, I feel adequately armed with the concepts to battle racism and oppression; I just never thought I'd have to use those concepts to battle overt racism on our campus.”

The Art of Giving Your Echo a Name
by the CowlSep 30, 2009“-Fiction-
If you live on a deserted island, can your echo become your best friend? Do you have any other specimens to befriend or talk to other than the repetitive companion only available to be heard when you start the conversation? It would be a very one-sided relationship.”
Providence Cycle 3: Breathing Steam, Walking Punk
by the CowlSep 30, 2009“-Fiction-
Ed left lunch that day wondering if Dick was right. There certainly had been some strange things going on, the dreams probably the worst of it.

Office Blues
by the CowlSep 30, 2009“The morning shuffles by,
tripping and falling back into night.
Not enough time for caffeinated lifeblood;

metronome, searching for a slice of
comfort these hours will never afford.”

Bright Star Bores Beyond Belief
by the CowlSep 30, 2009“As an English major, I expected to fall in love with Bright Star. The trailer made it look like a Pride and Prejudice-esque romantic period drama, full of sexual tension and covert romance. The trailer was misleading, to say the least.
Written and directed by Jane Campion (The Piano), Bright Star tells the story of the relationship between the 19th century poet John Keats (Ben Wishaw) and Fanny Brawne (Abby Cornish), the woman who inspired his later works.”
