Respecting Culture and Keeping Our Promise



Christina Duszynski

Undergraduate/Political Sciene 

Equity. Diversity. Inclusiveness. – The three words that this University prides itself on. Believe it or not, UWEC has actually committed publically to enhancing such things in many different forms. But do we really practice what we preach? As a matter of fact our new mission statement uses the word “empathy,” meaning not only that we care for others, but that we care for things, objects; objects this University values and prides itself on I would hope - objects such as the Council Oak Tree.

This Just In: The Chippewa River Is Rather Scummy

The following report is a parody. You can pick on me for a lot of things: poor diction choices, terrible grammar, lack of an interesting plot. But one thing I'm doing right is making this parody outlandish. Let me have this one, Eau Claire

If you've ever floated, canoed, submarined, or rafted down Eau Claire’s Chippewa River, you've noticed it- -scum that hits you and fills your makeshift floatie device. You can't go around it, you can't go over it, you just have to go through it. Well, last week, a group of angry Wisconsinites had enough of it-- so they started a protest.

Hemorrhage 

David Riesch

Undergraduate/Undeclared

It began as a nuisance. 
Blepharospasmic instances.
The beehive outside my window.
The rise of temperature.
Lack of clean laundry,
Broken fan which creaks,
Dirty cups that reek of…. honey,
It is much too dusty and dry and small in here!
