I attended writer Joe Wenderoth’s reading, sponsored by the Visiting Writers Series and ink, on Wednesday, Dec. 6, and I want to share my thoughts on the event. While I still am unsure that I did the right thing by staying through the entire reading, the fact that I did so allows me to write [...]

An equal rights poem

It is well-known that women have gone through plights to be on equal status with men; however, it is still not achieved. There are still prejudices and discriminatory acts against women in many areas such as work and school. We all have much to learn on equality and tolerance, but something small can make the biggest effect.

Finding inspiration in others’ passion

Finding inspiration in others’ passion

Sitting amongst a quarter-full audience I see 13 students swinging bells back and forth, conducting a serene rendition of the “Westminster Chimes.” One of the marshmallows I brought falls out of my ears and I can suddenly hear the performance. It isn’t quite what I am used to, nor what I would seek out, but since the marshmallow has rolled under the seat in front of me I have no choice but to listen. I get to thinking. Is the sound made for me? No. Seeing the musicians so absorbed in their art, I think again that perhaps it isn’t being done for anyone else either. They are not concerned about who sees or hears their music but are fulfilled by the mere reverberations off the theatre walls, the vibrations they feel in their chests. Nagging hand-bell choir, were it not for my article in the Signal you wouldn’t even have known I was there —but thank you for the gift.

Lot 6 is no place for speed demons

OK TCNJ, it’s time to get something sorted out: Lot 6 is not Daytona Speedway.
You are not Mario Andretti. And no, it’s not OK to go around blind corners at 25mph the wrong way.
The past two years, I’ve parked in Lots 8 and 9, and while I saw my fair share of horrible parking jobs, [...]
