In the midst of the explosive tragedies that have shook our nation, across the pond slightly ‘less’ tragic events have taken place. I think this is one of those cases where shock and triviality go hand in hand. Seriously. Four rhino heads were stolen from a museum in Dublin, Ireland. Rhino heads. ...
With this being my last issue as both an editor and a senior undergraduate, I have decided to present to you what I like to call the pizza box conundrum. About a month ago I was soliciting the people around me for possible topics for opinions pieces. If you saw the last issue, you might have noticed ...
Over the course of this school year, I have had to frequently write opinions articles to fill my section. This hasn’t been a secret for those of you who have read my section regularly. In fact, among the Cluster staff members, the Opinions section has often been referred to as ‘Cecilia’s Opinions.” ...
I created the title in hopes that I would be purposely vague with what Mercer changed. For one, looking around the landscape of campus these past few days, Mercer has definitely changed.
