	The Suicidal Tunnel: Choosing to Live By Anonymous Author March 6, 2013 - 1:42pm “Honestly, I don’t question if you’ll do it, it’s when you’ll do it.” These words haunt me almost every time I feel the need to do the unimaginable and take away my own life. They were the words spoken by one of my friends in high school out of concern for my wellbeing. I, like many others in this world, suffer from suicidal thoughts from time to time due to my depression and anxiety. READ MORE

	Why use weight loss products? By Hope Kumor November 30, 2012 - 3:19pm It was only a couple years ago, at the ripe age of 15, that chemistry major Cassandra Benner consumed her first green tea weight loss pill.

And while Benner’s had first-hand experience with this product, she declares that she didn’t notice anything different after a month of taking the pills. “I kinda gave up.” Benner says. “I went back and forth [whether to buy another set].” READ MORE
	Integrated but Segregated: The Plight of Temple’s Campus By Jamie Lewis November 15, 2012 - 7:27pm Did you ever notice how when people walk into the classroom on the first day they usually sit with people that look like them? Not even just because they’re friends, but if they don’t know anybody in the class they usually sit near people that look like them. I’ve noticed this in my own classes and it’s kind of baffling when you actually see this happening in front of you. I wish the reasoning of this phenomenon was unrelated to race, but it is. At Temple, people try their best not to bring up race, but it’s hard to ignore something that society keeps shoving down your throat everywhere you look. READ MORE

This announcement upset many people. Now, Temple has been that way for as long as I have attended classes here but until I discovered the article on Stony Brook, it was difficult for me to understand why. With the Yom Kippur holiday recently passed, and being the proud Jewish owl that I am, this issue has taken a very prevalent position in my mind. READ MORE
	Ten Points to Temple: Temple University announces its first LGBTQ scholarship By Cindy Stansbury October 15, 2012 - 9:35am Let me just begin this article by saying, that I am glad that the University to which I attend, understands the concept of “getting on board before getting behind”. Think of LGBTQ acceptance and activism as a giant, happy, welcoming, bandwagon that is barreling up the figurative United states of America shaped slope. State by state, person by person, group by group (university by university), everyone is jumping on board. Temple has not only gotten on board but has leaped on board with both feet and is standing at the front smiling with an immense amount of glee. READ MORE
