Once upon a time in Mexico
The man raised his enlarged foot for the student medical team to examine. Because of an infection below the skin, he has developed a disease called Mycetoma, which looks similar to elephantiasis. He came for years to the visiting health clinics in rural areas of Mexico to receive antibiotics. His doctor suggested amputation, but the man couldn’t because he needed to work. More...
Candidates cut caucuses
By Kelly Conniff, senior writer
As presidential election coverage begins to saturate the news, students are becoming increasingly tuned in to the slowly shrinking list of major party candidates. The political season kicked off with the Jan. 3 caucus in Iowa and the Jan. 8 primary in New Hampshire. Results have been across the board and currently there is no clear frontrunner in either party.

Out of the Dark: Slow Traffic Ahead
By Anna Young, opinion editor
Either I was misinformed about what time the bus arrives at Stone Gate on Tuesday mornings, or the bus was just plain late—an unfavorable habit it has had since the first day of classes this semester. Either way, Route 9 was a no-show after I trekked to the bus stop. After waiting a total of three minutes (I lack patience and a substantial attention span to boot), I made my way back to my third-floor apartment to beg my roommate for a ride. After she grudgingly agreed, we made our way to Port Republic Road. More...

Information analysis major created
Since Sept. 11, national security has reigned supreme as one of the nation’s greatest issues of debate.

Not your average fairytale
By Colleen Callery, contributing writer
At first glance, the works of art in room 2104 of The Gallery at Festival seem scarce. Bright track lights shine onto suspended panels, and glass cases house ancient relics throughout the room. However, soon after passing the first corner between the Egyptian bronze statue “Isis and Horus” and the gelatin print of “Los Tentaciones en Casa de Antonio,” it becomes clear that much more lies within these pieces.
