Artifacts fly under campus radar

Hannah Bartman October 25, 2012
Many of the exhibits on campus fly under the radar of many students, ranking as features of the college that people have heard of but not actually taken the time to see--but they deserve to be seen.
Parents gifts crucial to growth

Parents’ gifts crucial to growth

Hannah Aguirre-Clayshulte October 18, 2012
Parents might not be immediately present while students are at college; however, parents are still more involved in the lives of students than sending care packages and paying tuition. Parents supply the momentum to keep the college striving for new heights.

All-hours health services care for partiers, provide experience

Hannah Aguirre-Clayshulte October 4, 2012
Hannah, this is an excellent article. I was both very entertained, very informed, and very concerned by reading your article (especially as a person who has been in the health center for alcohol-related reasons--now THAT'S tactful). You did a good job balancing that--which is a powerful skill and tool. Other than the little things I want you to fix stylistically, you done good. Let me know if you have any further questions and inquiries. -Adam

Hannah Aguirre-Clayshulte September 20, 2012
High schools are like people: they have their own personalities, their own strengths and weaknesses, their own behaviors. In a way, our high school becomes one of the many aspects that define us. Because we are so connected to our secondary schooling, it is only understandable that it plays some role in the admissions process.

Students take fitness elsewhere

Hannah Bartman September 13, 2012
Instead of using the school's ready facilities, some Whitties have been more inclined to find their outlet for exercise off campus. They travel to places that may require a bit more booty-shaking and shimmying than would normally be seen at BFFC. They go to Jazzercise classes at studios in town.

Horsin’ Around: Students get a kick out of rodeo

Talia Rudee September 6, 2012

Ropes swing, a Ferris wheel turns, horses gallop and music plays at the Walla Walla Fair and Frontier Days. This event, this year running from Aug. to Sept. 2, is the oldest fair in Washington state beginning...

A Stranger in a Strange Land: Crayfish, Sea Urchins and Tahitian Culture

August 23, 2012
I started my three-week exchange in French Polynesia with enthusiasm, excitement and an unhealthy amount of ignorance. Tahiti, and the rest of the Polynesian islands, were not given even a cursory glance in my high school history courses and had been relegated, in my mind, to that class of ridiculously photogenic, tourist-filled islands located far at sea.

Endowment fosters diverse initiatives

Molly Emmett April 19, 2012
The cost of a Whitman education is high. That fact is indisputable. However, without Whitman's approximately $400 million endowment, tuition would cost about 30 percent more.
