Hilary's "fighting for us" campaign slogan is the only one to contain the word fighting. Now, with differences of opinion turning into fights, why has this gone completely ignored by the media? In some states, by misunderstanding of her slogan(s) that contain the word FIGHTING, she is actually inciting violence among her supporters, against any they disagree with.

By Cdelprete

When walking past the pool in the Koury Athletic Center, you will usually see people swimming or diving but last Friday was not your typical day as Campus Recreation made a splash by clearing the swimming lanes at Beck Pool and dropping in canoes for an event adapted from a classic board game. The game is called Battleship and the title is not the only thing the board game and the Campus Recreation event have in common.

Bernie Sanders rallies in Raleigh

By afeather

RALEIGH-- Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders drew thousands of supporters to a rally in Raleigh on Friday afternoon, four days before North Carolina and four other states are set to vote in their primary elections. More than a thousand people couldn't make it into Memorial Auditorium, which seats 2,300, and supporters were lined up more than five hours before the event began. The crowd of primarily young people was loud, cheering and chanting Sanders name from the moment the doors opened two hours before the candidate was set to arrive. In his speech, Sanders went over many of his campaign's talking points, including student debt, campaign finance reform, universal healthcare, minimum wage and the environment, among other other topics. He drew large cheers from the crowd when he discussed campaign finance laws, denouncing Citizens United, the 2010 Supreme Court ruling which allows corporations to fund political organizations. "When you have these horrendous Super PACs, which are funded by Wall Street and billionaires," Sanders said.

Politics about issues, not entertainment

By Hunter Purvis

Here’s my issue with this election cycle. It isn’t that Clinton seems to be surpassing Bernie in the amount of delegates she has won, or that Donald Trump now seems to be the leading contender for the Republican nomination. What truly troubles me is that politicians in this country have finally figured out the secret to American public opinion — as long as we are entertained, it doesn’t matter what things you say, people you belittle or races you disparage.
