The Tea Party Movement is a Reaction to Obama's...
  • David Sterngold
  • The conclusion that the Tea Party is motivated by class divisions only tells half of the story. The other half wasn’t emphasized in the New York Times/CBS poll because, well, respondents won’t fess up to it...

  • Orgasms, Easter Eggs, and Defining for Yourself...
  • Marianne and Ginger
  • Orgasms, it has recently occurred to us, are a lot like Easter eggs. Sometimes they're big; sometimes they're small. Sometimes you find a whole bunch, and sometimes only a few make it into your Easter basket...

  • The Pros and Cons of Paying Student Council
  • Student Council
  • In light of the recent discussion over whether or not to pay members of Student Council for their service, Student Council compiles the pros and cons (as they see them) of StuCo compensation.

  • The Suburban Housewife's Jihad
  • David Sterngold
  • Some stories are so bizarre, striking readers from such a radically unconventional angle, that they must, it seems, reveal something new. Such is the story of Colleen “JihadJane” LaRose, a story that tells...

    Editorials: Editors' Note(s): Farewell
  • by RAMYA GOPAL; JACK KEEFE; UROOJ KHAN
  • Posted 5/21/2010
  • We, the graduating senior editors of the Gazette -- Ramya Gopal, Jack Keefe, and Urooj Khan -- are taking this opportunity in the last issue of the semester to bid our e-farewells to all the folks (both e- and real alike) who’ve contributed to making the Gazette community what it is, and, in turn, to reflect.

    Sketchy Questions, Sketchy Answers: The Swattie Horror Picture Column: In Which We Bid Thee Adieu
  • by LANG HAYNES; ANKHI THAKURTA
  • Posted 5/6/2010
  • Though our time as columnists is fleeting, you will find that our final wisdom-nugget neither drips with false compliments, nor oozes with idolatrous praise.

    Friends With Benefits: Two Girls One Laptop: An Evening of Feminist Pornography
  • by MARIANNE AND GINGER
  • Posted 4/26/2010
  • Full disclosure: In an attempt to mine for inspiration for our column and spare Marianne's partner the guinea pig status afforded him in the last column, we had decided that tonight was the night to snuggle up and watch some skin flicks. Warning: this entire event was pretty comical and lent itself to a high degree of innuendo. Our description, for better or for worse, reflects that.

    The Right Stuff: The Tea Party Movement is Not Racist and it is Disingenuous to Suggest Otherwise
  • by SOREN LARSON
  • Posted 4/20/2010
  • Racism still exists in America, and it wouldn’t be too surprising to find that some members of the Tea Party movement have latent racist beliefs. But even as the prevalence of racism in America steadily declines, Democrats exploit the serious issue of race to discredit their opponents.

  • by WILL TREECE
  • Posted 4/19/2010
  • Our oldest campus newspaper was first published in 1881, rising from the ashes of the Great Fire of Parrish. In its earliest form, the Phoenix was more of a literary journal than a newspaper as we think of it today.

    Biting the Hand: Decisions, Decisions
  • by BEN HATTEM; DENNIS HOGAN
  • Posted 4/12/2010
  • We’d like to call for a broad and considered school-wide conversation that re-evaluates what types of decisions are important to students, evaluates why those decisions are important, and moves towards re-shaping the way students are included in -- and excluded from -- the decision-making process.
