Students often microwave meals in their dorms and apartments. It turns out that this method of cooking may be nutritious. If done right, microwave cooking can retain more nutrients in food than other methods of cooking such as using a stove or oven. Adding a little bit of water and covering the food tightly allows the microwave to steam food and keep its minerals.

Postgame interviews are often filled with quotes that fans have grown tired of. Players use cliché phrases such as “we left it all on the field” or “turnovers were key for us” when describing the outcome of the game. These answers are, quite frankly, boring to many people.

The “Beyond Faith and Reason: Same-sex marriage” discussion on Wednesday night in Numen Lumen Pavilion focused on what religion has to say about homosexuality. Kate Bruce, assistant professor of sociology at Elon University, led a conversation on the history, morality and future of same-sex marriage. “We’re here to explore how the many religious, moral and family influences go together, and how we reconcile those when we’re set with a vote on same-sex marriage,” Bruce said. Bruce ran through a brief overview of the gay rights movement, noting marriage was not always at the forefront of the campaign. She said many gay people viewed marriage as inherently oppressive, so they focused their efforts on issues like employment nondiscrimination, custody rights and adoptive rights. The same-sex marriage debate took off on the national stage in 1991, when a lesbian couple in Hawaii sued over the state’s marriage restrictions. Many religious groups across the United States fired back; saying same-sex marriage violated the sanctity of marriage. Last year was a monumental year for same-sex couples, with 17 states and Washington D.C.
