<p>James Dunns Hall isn’t always your best choice for getting some studying done. If you are able to find a seat between 12p.m. &#8211; 4p.m. you are lucky.

<p>Last week I was called a sheep in my Grid class. I’ve been called a black sheep before but this time it was just sheep – a grown lamb, a gender-ambiguous ewe, that thing Bo Peep lost.

<p>It’s 2 a.m. A person stumbles leaving a certain nightclub, a little drunk and hungry, they check their wallet. Only a $10 bill for the cab ride home. It was a $20 but one last shot of whiskey was taken to brace for the cold night air. Decisions. An ATM, the debit card is out [&hellip;]</p>

<p>As editor of the Aquinian, I feel it’s my responsibility to promote the widest possible exchange of opinions and ideas.  Everyone who works here believes that every member of the STU community should have a voice.  Students have a natural interest in the quality of teaching at St. Thomas and should be allowed to express their [&hellip;]</p>

<p>I remember being assigned Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut in my first-year Law, Power and Politics course. After the first few pages, I was intrigued and completely immersed in the story.

<p>After the attacks in Paris last week which killed 130 people, the Islamic State, also known as Daesh or ISIS, has thoroughly penetrated the consciousness of the West.

<p>Earlier in the year a friend and I covered Justin Trudeau’s campaign stop at St. Thomas. We were told he wasn’t taking questions from the media, but that didn’t deter me.
