My Journey from Nigeria to Liberal

February 4, 2015

I have known Olatunde Olasunkanmi for several years. We lived in the same local government (County) Amuwo Odofin. Olatunde and I were not close friends, but I have always admired him as a person. He has an awesome personality, which is why I respect him a lot.

Are You Valentine Material?

Valentine’s Day, a day that your wallet experiences rapid weight loss and it does this without even going to the wellness center. Until money grows on trees, men will always take Valentine ’s Day seriously because the stakes are high.

Philadelphia’s downtown wonders

November 14, 2014

Coming from a small town and flying across the U.S. to Philadelphia, Pa., was like passing through a portal and ending up in a different world. Tumbleweeds, dirt roads, and wind were definitely something I did not run in to as we all do here in Kansas. I knew I was going to such a big and busy city, but I didn’t know what wonder it had for me to see.

Veins for charge

November 14, 2014

Buzz. Ding! Ring! Walking through the halls, sitting at the doctor’s office, eating at a restaurant, these sounds assault our ears everywhere. Look to your left, look to your right, do people even acknowledge you? Are their faces buried in their phones and completely oblivious to the fact that life is happening all around them?

Obama pushes for new path

November 14, 2014

The executive order that President Barack Obama has promised to sign before the end of the year has got opposing sides in a political explosion. And by opposing sides, I mean that it has immigrants in bewilderment of what Obama is going to really do.

Dinner staged for 54

November 14, 2014

Walking into the Showcase Theater this week, the audience was confused by the chairs on the stage that surrounded the set. As people got over the shock of the unorthodox seating arrangement, a couple of students moved chairs around to be more comfortable, but soon they were informed that the actors would be walking by closely and that would disturb the scenes.

Easier solution to concealed weapon bill

Crusader Editor, I read the articles and cartoon regarding the issue of concealed weapons on campus. I've also done some research on the existing concealed carry law, including contacting the Kansas Attorney General’s office for some clarification.

Cultural story and gorgeous visuals brought out in ‘The Book of Life’

October 27, 2014

“The Book of Life” is a stunning visual story deeply immersed in the Mexican holiday of El Dia de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead) and is directed by Jorge Gutierrez and produced by Guillermo del Toro. “The Book of Life” delves into the heavy themes of death and the afterlife, but this film does not try to terrify the viewer and is a great film for children.

Social media portraying Ebola as a laughing matter is sick

October 27, 2014

Social media has shown us its sick side over the past couple of weeks. As I have scrolled through Facebook or down my timeline on Twitter, I have seen nauseating parodies of a deadly disease that has caused heads to turn with a case that surfaced in Dallas, Texas, with patient Thomas Eric Duncan, after he came back to the United States from Africa.

Cooler weather brings creepy crawlers inside

October 27, 2014

As the weather gets colder, spiders begin moving inside to find a warm place to hide. It’s that time of year again and the creepy crawlers are on the move.

Making friends the smart way

October 27, 2014

College is a fun, new, and exciting experience, surrounded by what seems like a million new faces. Moving somewhere far from your friends and family and out of your “comfort zone” to a new environment without the daily interactions you have known all your life makes most people nervous.

Safety comes first

October 27, 2014

Due to my two night classes and a 22 credit hour semester, I spend more time at the college than at home, especially in the evenings. I often find myself walking out to my car in a darkened parking lot alone. It almost sounds like a horror movie setup, and some nights it can feel that way.
