Free speech and football

By Kyle Stewart September 7, 2016

Commentary: Investigative reporting needed in curriculum

By Mark Prowse September 7, 2016
I’ve had class after class teach me how to talk to people and take notes at the same time, but I still have no clue how to pin down interviews with the sources that really matter, or dig up the documents that could make my journalism truly important.

Gun control is common sense

By Emma Whitestone September 6, 2016
However, like every constitutional right, the right to own guns should be limited when it begins to interfere with the rights and well-being of other Americans. Gun ownership should never be entirely outlawed, but there is nothing unconstitutional about controlling who can get a gun, and how, to protect the lives of the innocent.
Review: Bayside makes waves with seventh studio album Vacancy

Review: Bayside makes waves with seventh studio album ‘Vacancy’

By Stephanie Miller, Contributing Writer September 6, 2016

In “The Little Prince”, the Aviator (Jeff Bridges) tells the classic tale of the Prince to the Little Girl (Mackenzie Foy) in the stop-motion film remake of the classic childhood novel of the same name by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

Review: ‘Little Prince’ transports viewers back to childhood

By Jake Leary, Contributing Writer September 4, 2016
Netflix’s “The Little Prince,” based on the classic work of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, delivers such a rich range of emotion, moral and visual complexity. This complexity is evident in “Prince” — each chapter of the Prince’s quest, from his home on the minuscule Asteroid B-612 to the vast expanse of the Sahara Desert, is rendered in stop-motion.
Open Letter: Ithaca College Republicans denounce Trump

Open Letter: Ithaca College Republicans denounce Trump

By IC Republicans September 4, 2016
We could write a long list of grievances against Trump but that would be a waste of your time and ours. Instead we will focus this year on promoting conservative policies, advocating for conservative candidates across New York, and fighting for intellectual diversity and freedom of speech on our campus.

Editorial: New alcohol policy stifles safe drinking behavior

Editorial: New alcohol policy stifles safe drinking behavior

By The Ithacan August 31, 2016
A policy like this that targets alcohol paraphernalia does nothing to protect students against the dangers of drinking. This rule against having alcohol paraphernalia in a dorm room is misdirected in trying to promote safe drinking, and will neither motivate more students to be cautious about drinking nor deter them from drinking.

Why aren’t we doing anything about climate change?

By Emma Whitestone August 31, 2016
Despite the impending threat to health and security that climate change poses, politicians and voters are not talking about the environment. Addressing climate change should be at the top of the agenda for everyone right now.
