One final rant by Ray Buffington, editor-in-chief
After almost two years of writing columns that scream my
liberal view on what I call the “Three R” topics (gay rights,
religion, and ridiculous Republicans), my time as
Editor-in-Chief of the “Plainsman Press” is coming, sadly but
excitingly, to a close.
Problematic Politics Republicans, Democrats make them selves
look bad by Jacob Tucker, associate editor
The elections in the middle of a president’s term are commonly
known as ‘midterm’ elections.
Video game violence less influential more profitable by Robert Box, staff writer
A hot topic going around today is whether video games have
become too violent for today’s youth.
Differences create sparks in relationship by Amelia Gonzales, co-news editor
One of my favorite music videos when I was younger was Paula
Abdul’s “Opposites Attract.”
Good manners matter by Jonathan Kay, staff writer
While spending time observing and interacting with my fellow
students at South Plains College, I have come to the
conclusion that a lot of people have no clue about what
manners are, or even a basic understanding of common decency.
My question to the television-raised students of this school
is, where did you learn to interact with people? Some act like
5 year olds who only take and don’t give anything back. Here
is my top five list of pet peeves that bother me the most
about people on this campus:
Dress appropriately for shows, theatre by Jennifer Conlee, feature editor
I may be extremely old fashioned, but I believe that a person
should dress up when he or she attends any type of theatre,
whether it’s a Broadway show, community theatre, or just a
children’s play.
Seize the moment, for life goes by quickly by Priscilla Casanova, staff writer
How quickly our lives go by.
The days seem so short,yet the hours drag
on and on. Can one stop time? The question isn’t enough to
satisfy my curiosity. I need answers, and perhaps a whole
discussion group is going to be necessary. How much time do
we have left, and what should we be doing with this precious
amount of life we have left?
Success not without risk, opportunities by Isa Torres, staff writer
Many people ask
themselves to consider is the key to success.
You hear all
kinds of speakers talking about what their secret is to get
where they are now. Some say it’s perseverance, while some
of them say it depends on how bad you want it. Some of them
think it’s all about the effort.
War touches home twice in one lifetime by Hope Perez, staff writer
It is said that the United States fell into the war in Vietnam
and Iraq.
The United States is commonly known world
wide as a country that values human life and its inherent
rights. So when I hear that we, as a country, fell into
helping and participated in two wars, Vietnam and Iraq, the
two main things I see they have in common is the destruction
of a culture in the name of liberty and peace and the
casualties that are affected across the nation then and now.
America nixes opportunity for Mexican dreams by Rina Jo Gonzales, staff writer
In the early 1900s, Texas was once a part of Mexico.
I don’t understand why President George
W. Bush would want to build that long stonewall that he speaks
of on the news. What is it about the citizens of Mexico that
makes him want to keep them out of the country? There are
plenty of jobs in the United States that our own citizens are
not willing to do.
'Highlights' of cosmetic change by Brittany Bradford, co-entertainment
editor I recently went to my hairdresser for a
different look. I wanted something different to make my eyes
stand out and fit my face shape. I wanted to look more in
style and just was sick of the way my boring brunette hair
looked just hanging there so lifeless. |
