Opinion: We need more — not less — sports in our lives

By Josh Carter
May 19, 2020 12:00 AM
The Washington Post recently published a controversial editorial titled “The pandemic has reminded us: We don’t need more sports in our lives — we need less.” In short, the piece insinuated that while sports are on hold, any sports-related talk shows, articles and documentaries should also take a break. In response to the Post’s op-ed, I would argue that the pandemic has actually reminded us that we do, in fact, need as much sports-related content in our lives as we can get.

Opinion: How the pandemic should change higher education

By Lisi Merkley
May 12, 2020 12:00 AM
Few things are more invalidating as a college student than needing to receive a doctor’s note to miss class when you are sick without getting docked points. Oftentimes students will come down with something as simple as a bad cold that doesn’t warrant a doctor’s visit but makes physically attending class hard. Weighing the pros and cons of missing a class with a mandatory attendance policy for something like a cold usually results in the sick student attending class and potentially spreading their cold to their classmates.
