How does someone who has been arrested twice in the past four months for domestic assault and injuring his fans deserve an award as prestigious as Alternative Press’ Artist of the Year?

Holiday Season Begins Too Early
Stores Commercialize Holidays Earlier Each Year
Like any child growing up, I loved the holiday season. It meant getting presents, endless trays of cookies and sweets, and of course, no school for two weeks. The whole holiday season is supposed to be a special time of giving, seeing loved ones, and just an overall sense of cheer. The reason why it is special is that it comes once a year, or at least that is what is supposed to happen.
Classic Movies Remain Timeless Through Many Generations
Memorable Films Outlive Their Decades, Continue to be Beloved by People of All Ages
Classic movies just never seem to fade away. You all know exactly what I’m talking about. I’m talking The Goonies, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Pulp Fiction, Die Hard, Grease, and for the sake of the holiday season, Home Alone, A Christmas Story, It’s a Wonderful Life, and Frosty the Snowman. These movies have a special place within all of us; they are too good not to love.

Superstorm Sandy Causes Professors, Students to Alter Original Plans as Semester is Shortened
It has been almost a month since Superstorm Sandy has hit, and both students and faculty are trying to get back to a sense of normalcy. However, there has been some dispute as to how the rest of the semester will go now that students have a shortened semester.
Community Members Unite in Wake of Severe Storm
Volunteerism, Compassion Strike Chord in People as Many Hurry to Help Others
Words cannot begin to describe the sorrow and grief I feel for those that lost a little or everything during Hurricane Sandy. The images and video footage that most, if not all, of us have seen displays the heartbreak that many along the east coast have had to endure. Losing a neighborhood, a city, and a home is enough devastation to crush any bit of hope of reconstruction.
Hurricane Sandy Causes People to Re-evaluate Priorities
After Storm Ravages Homes, Livelihoods, Many Take Time to Consider What is Important
Too many people have seen innumerable amounts of destruction over the past few weeks at the hands of Hurricane Sandy. She blew through our towns and took with her lives, property, hopes, and spirits. However, despite the hurt and pain she caused, I can only hope that there was an important lesson to be learned by everyone, whether they felt major effects of the storm or not.

Minnie Gets Madeover
Disney Reveals Skinnier Minnie Mouse
It seems that Disney has been making a lot of headlines in the past few weeks with the “Skinny Minnie” issue. For those of you who don’t know, Barney’s has altered Minnie Mouse’s usual curvier image along with the other Disney characters for a film that will appear in their window displays on November 14 to launch their holiday campaign “Electric Holiday.” The film shows Minnie shopping in Paris and sees a dress in a shop window. It then goes into her fantasy of walking down the runway as a model in a pink Lavin dress, a change from her classic red and white polka dot ensemble. Other characters along with Minnie go from their cute Disney selves to sleek models including Goofy, Daisy Duck, and Cruella De Ville that are no longer recognizable in order to give a “proper portrayal of the fashion world.”
Internships Influence Career Paths
As an upperclassman, I am gaining as much hands-on experience in my field as possible through my on-campus involvement and internships. My activities with school clubs have been a fun way not only to socialize with other students seeking a similar career path but also to gain quality experience in many different areas of interest within my field.
