COLUMN: Snapchat and globalization

By Natalie Rowthorn · Wednesday, May 20,2015 9:12 p.m.

Everyone Snapchats. I Snapchat. You Snapchat. He/she/it Snapchats. There is no denying this popular app is a fun way to keep in touch with friends, entertain ourselves and send goofy selfies on the way to class. Since its launch in 2011, Snapchat users not only can send 10-second photos to their buddies, they can use Snapcash, Discover and Campus Stories. With Campus Story, I can see a photo or video a fellow Hoosier uploaded of Showalter Fountain.

When I began researching topics for this article, I was struck by the amount of articles about the employment — or rather unemployment — of millennials. The millennial label itself is often used to criticize the perceived narcissism of our generation, exaggerate the differences between generations and bemoan the woes of the current job market, especially for recent college graduates.

Column: Undeserved thanks after reversed false conviction

By Nancy Wu · Sunday, May 17,2015 6:41 p.m.

Just this week, Michael Kenneth McAlister, 58, was granted an absolute pardon for his wrongfully convicted rape charges back in 1986. Apparently, he wasn’t being heard much back in the late 1980s when the conviction took place.

By Andrew Wurdeman · Sunday, May 17,2015 6:40 p.m.

On Friday, a federal jury sentenced Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to death for the bombings at the 2013 Boston Marathon. He is twenty-one years old.

By Natalie Rowthorn · Wednesday, May 13,2015 8:34 p.m.

Ah, the Dad Bod. This new phenomenon has graced the Internet almost as swiftly as that extra chub has graced the bellies of the men sporting this apparently new body type. The trending body type refers to a man crouching on the latter half of his 30s, sitting shirtless in his living room, scratching his pudgy belly while simultaneously channel-surfing and sorting through emails on a Sunday morning.
