With a 17-0 record so far in the 2013-2014 season, sitting atop the NWC and ranked #3 nationally, the Whitman women’s basketball team is following up their Elite Eight National Championship run last season with a very promising season so far. This level of dominance is due in large part to Missionaries head coach Michelle Ferenz, who earlier this season became the winningest coach in Whitman women's basketball history.

I watched the Grammys on Sunday night. Well, I watched it secondhand. In this, the year 2014, awards shows and most major television events are not entertaining in themselves so much as they are entertaining for the tweets, GIFs, and thinkpieces they spawn on the Internet. Grandiose, antiquated events like the Grammys are splintered and distilled into a select few talking points that are mulled over and recycled until no one can think of any more Macklemore jokes.
Despite heading into halftime down three points, the Whitman men’s basketball team cruised to a 76-59 victory over the Lewis & Clark Pioneers Friday night.

Another semester gone and another looms ahead. I am halfway through my tenure as editor-in-chief and I'm feeling a mixture of excitement and nervousness. This is our chance to reflect on the mistakes that we made last semester and improve on our decisions this semester. I hope to let a few things go that aren't as important to the needs of our staff, but I'm also hoping to push us in ways that may make us uncomfortable at times. We work hard, we play hard, and I can't wait to see what the next thirteen issues have in store for us. Here's to another great semester.
In the first meeting for the Whitman men’s basketball team with that school up north, Whitworth, the rivalry upheld its growing reputation as one of the most exciting in Division-III sports. In what seems to be a trend between these two teams, the last few plays of the game Tuesday night were the deciding factor in the result, ending in an 84-80 loss for the Missionaries. With the loss Whitman drops to 5-2 and third in the Northwest Conference.
