This column is dedicated to two men who instilled important ideals in me. With the anniversary of 9/11 around the corner, two of those ideals are front and center in my mind.
The first is how incredibly proud I am to be American. Most of us have our roots in different countries, celebrating our heritage…

Perry overtakes Romney in race for 2012 GOP nomination
For what has so far been the Republican campaign for the presidency, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney seemed to be the favorite for the GOP’s nomination.

Long awaited Red Hot Chili Peppers album fails to impress
A lot has changed for the Red Hot Chili Peppers since they released their lengthy double-LP Stadium Arcadium in 2006. They’re five years older, many of them have moved on to side projects, and they have once again had to replace their lead guitarist. Despite this, “I’m With You” does not attempt to venture into…

JCU volleyball off to a strong start
Three days was how long the John Carroll volleyball team had to re-adjust their starting lineup before they were to play in the 2011 fall season opening tournament in Chicago, Illinois. They had recently lost one of their setters due to an injury, so the question remained whether they could they fine-tune their line up…

A letter to the NFL: Welcome back
We missed you. When I say we, I’m referring to the millions of dedicated NFL fans that support their respective teams, week in and week out, no matter the circumstances. We, the fans, were the ones who suffered the most during the NFL lockout. Not the players, or the owners, but instead it was us,…
Catching up with Colt McCoy
On Sunday, Aug. 28, I visited the Cleveland Browns training camp in Berea to check out Browns practice.

The Bohannon Center: Gone but not forgotten
Over the summer, John Carroll University underwent many renovations to make it a more appealing place to live, play and study. The Bohannon Center, which stood between the Boler School of Business and the Dolan Science Center, was demolished. The project is now in its final stages and should be completed by Nov. 17.

North Park Boulevard no more
John Carroll University has already moved once and changed its address – from Cleveland’s west side to University Heights in 1935. Today, in 2011, the University is again changing its address, but it isn’t moving this time.
According to an email sent by University President the Rev. Robert Niehoff, S.J. to faculty, staff, administrators and…

At its meeting Tuesday evening, Sept. 6, University Heights City Council postponed a vote to extend the usage of Don Shula Stadium to 10:30 p.m., seven days a week.

OurView: Welcome to campus
Hello freshmen. Welcome back to the bottom of the heap – except not really, because this isn’t high school.
For most of you, this year will be your first time living away from home. Sure, you can still call your parents (and I highly suggest doing so because they probably want updates to their $40,000-plus…
The Bayer Necessities: A professor’s guide to success
Last year, my first column was a freshman encyclopedia of sorts for the Class of 2014. Since many students found it to be a very helpful guide to success in their first year of college, I would now like to offer our professors some advice from the eyes of an experienced John Carroll University student/person…
Columns: Universally diverse
Some of the foundational beliefs of our Jesuit institution are service and acceptance of diversity. These are indeed virtuous values but could their coexistence be counterproductive?
I’m sure you’re probably thinking, “Who is this clown? Does he hate people, encourage suffering, and promote discrimination?”
In short, sometimes, sometimes, hardly ever.
The problem with the diversity…
Columns: A national shame
There are few people who cannot recall exactly where they were on Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001 when they heard a plane had crashed into the first World Trade Center tower. The memory of what they were doing at the exact moment is still fresh in almost every person’s mind, just as it was when our…
Letter to the Editor: In memoriam: Borders Books 1971-2011
Borders was the place to be. So what happened?
I’ll never forget the first time I went to a Borders bookstore. It was the Borders located in Westlake. At that time, there was absolutely nothing else out there. Cleveland was still a relatively bustling city and our family did most of our shopping there. Places…

A planning subcommittee of University Heights has come to a compromise with JCU that the hours of operation of JCU’s Shula Stadium be extended from 9 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. after JCU proposed that the stadium time be extended to 11 p.m.

Columns: The age of stupidity
The more time I spend in college, the more I am realizing that far too often college-age students make stupid decisions.
College seems to be the age of stupidity for many people and it’s rather frustrating. Some may refer to it as stupidity while others may blame it on immaturity—either way, poor decision-making is involved.…
The Bohannon Center renovation project
The demolition of the Bohannon Center and the renovation project taking its place began this summer.
The benefits of the finished project will outweigh the temporary inconveniences it currently poses for the JCU community.
When the renovation project has been completed, there will be more parking spaces available. This will ease the congestion caused by…
JCU women’s soccer battles, but falls short in consecutive games
Whether it was a penalty kick for the other team or hard times in overtime, luck was not on the side of John Carroll University women’s soccer team side this past weekend at the Gettysburg tournament in Gettysburg, Pa.
