By Alexander Davis, Faculty Adviser for 88.3 WLFC the Pulse radio Alexander.Davis@findlay.edu JereMiah Jackson is not LeBron James. I say that for two reasons. 1.

By Amy Rogan I have a six-month-old granddaughter who is in constant motion. She has been wanting to walk for months now. Not crawl. Walk. She gets in her little activity chair and jumps and jumps and jumps and jumps some more. It’s fun for her but it’s also building her leg strength. Soon she […]

Column By Addy Hankins @addy_hankins Have you ever thought about your day-to-day life? Like the things that you just do mindlessly every day. You get out of bed, get ready for the day, go to school, go to work, and then go to bed and wake up to repeat the same day again. It’s […]

By: Collin Frazier frazierc@findlay.edu @Collin_53 James Gunn with full control yields spectacular results James Gunn has a knack for taking franchises that no one talks about and breathes zany, fresh life into them.

Spend spooky season with some great movies By Movie Reviewer Collin Frazier frazierc@findlay.edu @Collin_53 I’m going to be fully honest: I hate horror movies.
