Lincoln Logs: Practical over personal
BY HARSHA NAHATA
What this means for us is significant. It’s important to note that Lincoln didn’t come into office with a personal agenda of abolishing slavery. His goal from the outset wasn’t necessarily laden with moral implications, but with the practical reality of keeping together a divided country.

Campus Corner: Find paradise in Petoskey
BY KAT CARTWRIGHT
If you’re from out of state, you’ve probably never heard of Petoskey and if you’re from — as we Michiganders say — “Down State,” you probably think of Traverse City when people mention “Up North.” I may be biased but, trust me, if there is any place to visit in Michigan before graduating, it’s my hometown Petoskey.

The Justice League: Unpacking social justice
BY YASH BHUTADA
We all have some sort of passion for social justice and the concept manifests itself ubiquitously in our everyday lives. All of us have a personal stake in it, be it our career field, self-satisfaction, ideological battles, personal interest, etc. Even the most seemingly inconsequential events in our daily life are associated with it.

The Feminine Critique: Entrenched (and harmful) stereotypes
BY EMMA MANIERE
But I know that these typecasts persist because of reciprocal relationships, and that no one is totally innocent nor guilty. If only it were that simple. To personally carry the blame for these stereotypes is unwise and unfair when the societal forces that produce them span centuries and national divides and infect even the most tolerant of people.

Weil Can Do It: Whose life is actually 'ruined'?
BY ELLERY WEIL
Where the story gets worse, though, is in the public reaction to it. A Steubenville woman who helped expose evidence against the rapists received from fans of the local football team the perpetrators played for. Respected national news source CNN lamented that the young men’s “lives were ruined,” by being labeled sex offenders, and commented on their athletic and academic accomplishments.

Sophia's Study-A-Blog: Subways in Moscow
BY SOPHIA KOTOV
Every time I go to Moscow and visit family, I’m always excited to get on the subway. The city has four of the most beautiful subway stations in the world, all of which were built right when the subway opened in 1935.

Seeing Red: A tale of two states
BY MICHAEL SWAIN
The gubernatorial elections of Virginia and New Jersey are usually a weathervane of the public’s view of the newly elected president. This year, they will show whether the Republican Party is actually serious about winning elections.

Campus Corner: Bar blues
BY KAT CARTWRIGHT
Whenever it’s 30 degrees outside and I’m on my way out for the night I always wonder why I chose Michigan. Though 30 degrees is warm for a winter here in the mitten state, it’s not warm enough for the stereotypical tank top or skirt required to get into Skeeps or Rick’s.

Lincoln Logs: The power of friendship
BY HARSHA NAHATA
At times I think we often underestimate how much our success is a product of those around us — the help from our friends, family, mentors, and sometimes even from perfect strangers. Yes, our success is a result of the hard work we put in, but also a blessing from those who provided us with a solution or decision when we were in a rut.

Weil Can Do It: Ordinary 'Girls'
BY ELLERY WEIL
Look, I’m not naïve. I know that actors, both male and female, will always be more conventionally attractive than the average bear.
