Scotty Kessler once said, "Champions are made, not born." For the Henderson Red Wave swim team, this is exactly what they build off of in a season.

Under the Amalfi sun

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

I know that living in Florence probably sounds like a vacation for most of you. But when you live in a place and see its amazing buildings every day and smell its wonderful smells every day and stroll the same streets every day, you start to lose a bit of your appreciation for it all.

Turning Italian

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

I think I'm turning Italian. I don't mean that I've developed that beautiful olive skin tone or curly hair, but I have begun to find myself picking up on all the little idiosyncrosies that the people here possess. And I love it.

For starters, I am now late for class every day.

Cheap Shots

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

What has become of America when those that fight to protect our very way of life, are ran through the system with the same cold disregard as common criminals? Have we no sense of indebtedness for the services of brave individuals keeping us this side of the dirt?

Really, should the "day-walker" have to pay taxes?

Maybe he didn't have time to file because he was, oh I don't know, a little preoccupied keeping your f***ing head from being ripped off.

Soulfully Speaking

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

So really how much must one sacrifice in order to be in a serious relationship?

I'm willing to give up all the partying and staying out late. I'm willing to give up the guy friends who weren't really just guy friends and I'm even willing to drive 45 minutes home just to spend time with you for an hour.

Conspiracy Theory

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

You can't run, you can't hide.

Through these past three years I've seen close friends, family and mere acquaintances fall face-first into this overpowering and aggressive addiction.

It starts off meaningless.

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

Humans versus Zombies, or HvZ, has been played at hundreds of campuses.

Now, nearly one hundred Henderson students are playing the game.

Letter to Editor:

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

I realize that the Queer/Straight Alliance has been in disrepair for the last semester, but as I graduate I'd prefer to remember when the QSA was awesome.

Back in my sophomore year, we jumped through the required hoops and amassed a large troupe of members, including several from across the ravine.

Planning helps passengers find frustration-free flying

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

As the jet taxies toward the runway, the knot in your stomach tightens. The engines roar as the plane starts to take off. You feel yourself clenching the armrests. You gaze out of the small window: scenery flashes by in blurs of color. The knot in your stomach tightens more.
