By Jake Sarver @4theapplesauce With this election quickly coming to a close, the mudslinging comes on stronger. Anyone who watched the debate would agree that the civility lasted about 20 minutes. Hillary, as always, had to come off as aggressive yet likeable. For Trump, all he had to do was to come off as presidential, […]
By Kate Bauer @katemareebauer Twitter was up-in-arms throughout Wednesday night’s debate. Like I’ve said before, I was not able to vote in the last presidential election, so I was not as clued in to what was happening on social media in the last election, but things are out of control on social media in this […]

Joyce Manor – Cody By Bobby Beebe @howamibobby Pop-punk as a genre has never held much clout as a genre in indie rock. Hyper-sensitive lyrics and whiny vocals from bands like The Story So Far, The Wonder Years, and Neck Deep have saturated the public ear and given pop-punk a bad rap. There are, however, […]
1. The Fall Classic didn’t begin until 1903- other post-season championship series existed before that 2. American Association folded in 1891 and the National League absorbed four of the American Association’s former franchises, expanding to twelve teams 3. William C. Temple built the foundation of post-season popularity with a championship trophy to the winner of […]
By Bobby Beebe @howamibobby Kings of Leon have been on a slow decline since their debut Youth and Young Manhood in 2003. That is not to say that they haven’t put out some decent records along the way, but nothing has really matched the intensity and chaos supplied on their first LP. Hopes were not […]
Clinton is the only candidate to combat this By Clay Parlette @claypar111 A look at the official GOP platform reveals an elegant collection of positions, weaved with patriotic bits of American exceptionalism and statistically derived logic that appears to make the Republican way of thinking the “obvious” way of thinking. Why does the party oppose […]
How does UF’s crime reports compare to others? By Kelsey Nevius @kelnevs neviusk@findlay.edu Each year the Clery Act requires universities like ours to send out statistics about campus crime and fire safety to all students.

From the MLB to UF’s campus, Givens gives his all By Brandon Emsweller @BEmsweller Hanging above his chair is a memorable moment for the former Detroit Tigers shortstop: a double play he finished off that is pieced together by separate snapshots of the play. Now the former Tigers shortstop is the Associate Athletic Director for […]
By Kevin Schrock @KRock_6 By the time the University of Findlay had crowned a homecoming king and queen at halftime of the Oiler football game on Saturday, the game was already virtually out of reach for the opposing Hillsdale Chargers.

By Reilly Butz @reillybutz7 Since the second Presidential Debate featured a memorable question from the self-made legend Ken Bone, clean, efficient energy has become the topic of discussion. Ken’s question was perfect. It included how each candidate would try to improve efforts for clean and efficient energy, while preventing mass job loss. While neither candidate […]
By Sarah Stubbs @sarahxstubbs If you’re on the fence about who to vote for on Nov. 8 because you’re fed-up with this election and the whole political process, like many Americans currently are, please don’t just take a rain-check. If you’re not pleased with either candidate, I encourage you to think about the future of […]

Strahm made a ‘bond of brothers’ on the football field By Kevin Scrock @KRock_6 Some students go to college to get away from their parents. For anyone who played football for former Findlay coach Dick Strahm, they found another one. The 2004 College Football Hall of Fame Inductee led the University of Findlay to four […]

What is UF’s security plan? Do students know how to respond? By Mac Williams @m_williamsm2 Mass shootings are in the news constantly in the United States and continue to contribute to conversations in congress about gun control.

By Bobby Beebe @howamibobby Rostam Batmanglij left Vampire Weekend early this year stating he wanted to spend more time working on different projects, specifically more electronic music. This made it quite shocking when he released a new guitar-based record, I Had A Dream That You Were Mine with former Walkmen frontman Hamilton Leithauser. The duo […]
By Jake Sarver @4theapplesauce Sunday’s debate was everything every American expected. No one expected this to be happy, no one expected them to agree, and no one expected there to be a genuinely nice question to end the debate. The debate started off civil but very quickly turned south. The body language and mannerisms from […]
It’s tough to be a Republican right now Kate Bauer @katemareebauer On Oct. 7 when the October surprise went viral online, Americans had a new reason to hate the Republican Party. In 2005, Donald Trump engaged in a private conversation in which he severely degraded women. I refuse to sit back and ignore the fact […]
By: Kate M Bauer @katemareebauer I was not yet 18 during the 2012 presidential election, so at 21, this is the first time I have ever been able to cast my vote for president. It has been my goal through this election cycle to truly become informed of the plans and policies of both candidates. […]
