The New Students are Here!

Marra Clay April 27, 2014
This seems to be what the ducklings on campus are referred to as. New students. Newbies, incoming first years.

My song today is a Hawaiian hit from approximately 1973 called “Sweet Lei Mokihana” performed by Hui Ohana (which means, “Family Group”).

I get a pretty bad case of winter blues whenever November roles around and it usually doesn’t go away until around the beginning of March (which just so happens to be during Daylight Savings Day).

That Summer Feeling

John Reed April 14, 2014
Hey. Here's a brilliant song called "That Summer Feeling" by Modern Lovers founder and lead singer Jonathan Richman. It's from his 1992 album I, Jonathan.
Smells like Spring!

Smells like Spring!

Marra Clay April 6, 2014
Everyone is enjoying this weather- but the beautiful sunshine is distracting while studying for midterms. However, the new growth on campus is providing both a colorful view and a delicious smell to experience when I pop out of the doors to Anderson each morning.

Hypnotic Hydrology

Hypnotic Hydrology

Marra Clay March 12, 2014

Sometimes, I think that the Whitman community takes our access to water for granted. We live in a desert. Walla Walla is not meant to have green grass and luscious rivers flowing through it, but our campus...

Stay Another Day

John Reed March 7, 2014
Hey. My song today is so emotional that I might not even be able to make it through this post without having to walk the streets in solitude in order to calm down.

Atmadja Duma Strachilu

John Reed March 3, 2014
I came across this gem about a year ago during the summer. The song is called “Atmadja Duma Strachilu”, sung by a women’s choir called Le Mystère des voix Bulgares, or, The Mystery of the Bulgarian Voices.
