Ta-ta for Now
Friday, March 4th, 2011Dear Fanbase, We need to talk. Wow. It’s been eight months already. It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago that we started this relationship. Ever since then it’s been a whirlwind of hair, perfectly straight teeth, and picnic lunches where we feed each other pears. This is my last article until spring semester next [...]
Women’s Houses Raise the Bar
Friday, March 4th, 2011Principia’s women are strong. They are talented. They are beautiful inside and out. And the upperclass-women live in the houses of Sylvester, Joe, Howard, and Brooks.

It’s these individuals that make [...]
Letter from the Middle East
Friday, March 4th, 2011Dear Editor, It has been so fun working to prayerfully support Principia while in the Middle East this past winter!

Eight Principia indoor track records have fallen so far this year as the men’s track team is led by junior Drew Clark, the first Principian to qualify for Nationals in over a decade.

The New Buick
Thursday, March 3rd, 2011For the last few decades, the American automobile industry has been consistently beaten by the foreign automobile industry. The American automobile industry has looked into this problem and found every way they could to bounce back. They have done this with a new mentality: quality cars for a good price, as opposed to mediocre cars [...]
Sustainability: Taking the Initiative
Thursday, March 3rd, 2011If you’re like most Principians, you probably recycle at least occasionally. You might feel a little guilty about forgetting to sort out your trash a few times, but you do pretty well overall. You own at least one reusable shopping bag but still manage to accumulate plastic ones on various Target or Schnucks runs. The [...]
