Afghanistan took another step toward democracy this past weekend with their third major election, but not without violence and reports of mass fraud. However, for the most part, the election went on as planned. According to the Washington Post, 40 percent of the registered population cast their votes, but 17 of the country’s 34 provinces…

Tea Party wins big in primaries
Last week, insurgent Republican Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell narrowly defeated Republican Congressman Mike Castle in the party’s Delaware primary. Castle, a former governor of the Delaware and the state’s only member in the House of Representatives, was the preferred candidate of party leaders. As a social moderate, his politics were more appealing to a state…
World Wide Web: The only thing we have to fear is irrational fear itself
Ah, the glory days. Back when I was a freshman, JCU’s dining service was top notch. To-go boxes were free. You could use a meal swipe at Einstein’s for breakfast and at the Inn Between for dinner. And in the dining hall, you could grab a tray right when you walked in and put as…
Of Montreal: ‘False Priest’: 13 tracks of terrible
There are plenty of reasons to wish it was still 2004. “Hey! Arnold” was still being aired, there was a thrilling presidential race to ignore, and Of Montreal was still good.
But in the last six years Kevin Barnes has developed a problem. He’s forgotten that there’s a difference between making idiosyncratic, off-the-wall-awesome pop albums…

Football dropped by Mount Union
Whether it’s home or away, the ability to pull out a win on the football field against the University of Mount Union, ranked second in the nation by d3football.com, has been a challenge for all programs over the past two decades.
It’s no different for the John Carroll Blue Streaks, as Saturday’s 51-7 victory gave…

The Bayer Necessities: Unnecessary Roughness
Five years ago, my mom bought me a Ben Roethlisberger jersey and said, “Go Steelers.” She told me to wear it on game days to support the Black and Gold. What she didn’t say was, “Here, Bri – take this jersey and emulate Big Ben’s moral code.” In fact, it would’ve been strange if she…

Days are numbered for Bohannon
The construction of the Dolan Center for Science and Technology in 2003 made the Bohannon Science Center obsolete on the John Carroll campus.
Over the past seven years, the University has considered many ideas for the use of the space that Bohannon currently occupies. Due to budget constraints and the cost of demolition, the administration…
That's what See said: Streak up or die, there is no try
Being the jaded senior that I am, I often ask myself questions about how on top of their game the student body is. I hear a lot of students say that they don’t read the All-Stu anymore, which means a couple things. One, they should probably rename it to the Some-Stu at this point, and…
Volleyball wins six matches in five days
John Carroll University’s volleyball team faced a rigorous schedule recently with six matches in five days from Sept. 14 through Sept. 18, but they made their jobs look easy as they won all six matches in impressive fashion.

Sher It Like It Is: Stop contacting me
JCU seems to be ahead of the game with finding the latest ways to reach us.
Aside from the text message alert, which I support (except when I get a monthly text notification at 2:14 a.m.), JCU is abusing their ability to contact us. Right now that includes Blackboard, BannerWeb, and OrgSync.
E-mail, a class…
Bohannon still standing
What used to be the Bohannon Science Center has stood vacant between the Boler School of Business and the Dolan Center for Science and Technology since January 2009.

Tim's Turn: I’ve reached the breaking point
I love the Cleveland Browns. I can’t say that enough or with enough enthusiasm. It’s sickening how much I love them.
I love them. I love them. I love them. You get the point.
But it’s getting to be quite clear that they don’t love me back and it’s getting old.
Every Sunday it’s the…
OurView: A farmer’s life is not a life for me
“Danny, you should probably start looking for a job.”
Gee, thanks Mom.
In the back of my mind all through Christmas break last year, I knew that I should probably start looking for some type of summer employment. After all, I was going to be broke by May because school tuition had dried up my…

John Carroll University, which was hoping to transition one of its properties in University Heights from residential to ROTC offices, recently appealed the City’s motion allowing it to do so. It was certain City stipulations that made JCU reject the offer.
