As 2011 ends, where do we go from here?

By The Pendulum

It has not been an easy year. It hasn't been easy on our campus, on this nation or on the world. We have an economy still dragging its feet, a government that hasn't accomplished as much as we hoped but still declared cafeteria pizza a vegetable and a population fed up and rioting in cities across the country.

A runner's Christmas wishlist

By Nicole Esplin

Runner or non-runner, black Friday is a chaotic mess of people, sale signs, and choices.  Do I want the dress or the skirt?  Dress.  Do I want the lacey dress or sparkly dress?  Sparkle (always).  ….what about new make-up?  Or should I spend that money on a new Chi to straighten my hair? This year, I was efficient in making decisions, and I left the mall with my wallet a little skinnier and my bags stuffed more than my stomach was the day before. I was content, planning out my holiday outfits for the next two weeks…until I passed the running store.  That’s when regret and guilt hit. Why hadn’t I stopped here first?!  I felt like I was cheating on running with cute clothes…and I wear running clothes every day.  I willed myself to keep walking, but I couldn’t resist the urge to step inside. Instantly, I wished I had saved some money for the shoes, clothes, and accessories in the store. That’s why I made my 2011 running Christmas wish list that I am sharing with you today…runners and friends of runners take note-these presents may be perfect for you or your running friend! 1.

Former CNN writer converges fast-paced media world, teaching style

By Julia Murphy

Quickly eating her lunch during the few free moments she has during the day, continuously checking her email, consumed by school while keeping a positive attitude and peppy personality, Laura Williams, instructor of education, is more like her students than she may realize. Former students' artwork cover her walls, desk and shelving cabinet, which reminds her of what she's done and the lives she's touched. Williams, who graduated from University of Texas, Austin, with a Bachelors of Arts degree in French and earned a Master's degree in Journalism, first worked at CNN, later finding her stride as a school librarian.
