It’s hard to dislike a movie about John Dillinger. “Public Enemies” has gangsters, death, bank robberies, Tommy guns and a bunch of dames. Starring Johnny Depp as Dillinger, the movie recounts Dillinger’s life from a 1933 prison break until his death in 1934 (sorry if I gave away the end for anybody)…

Now I feel kind of guilty for poking fun at all those people who referred to Facebook’s news updates as a “stalker feed.” Hal Niedzviecki’s book, “The Peep Diaries,” is an exploratiion into what he terms “Peep” culture. In Niedzviecki’s view, modern pop culture has been co-opted and transformed into one that is concerned with the minutiae of everyone else – a nation of Peeping Toms…

Amid the desolation and destruction wrought on the university by the $54.2 million budget cut, it’s heartening to know the Second Life WSU campus was able to launch. There are those who might feel the need to mock such a move. Second Life hasn’t been culturally relevant for more than a year…

This? This is the big plan to save the publishing industry? “Now, for the first time, ‘We The People’ are privy to our new leader’s epistolary back-and-forths on his wily hand-held device. We’re about to discover that his emails (and the replies, from his wife and daughters…

Honestly, I don’t know why I’m even writing this. As someone born after 1980, I’m scarcely qualified to breathe on my own. This, at least, is the case according to Mark Bauerlein, author of “The Dumbest Generation.” That’s not the full name of the book, but I got bored 15 percent of the way through (seriously…

Senior general studies major Matt Way got an early wake-up call Wednesday, but he didn’t mind too much. Way said he got a call from a scout for the Philadelphia Phillies at 9:15 a.m. “He asked me if I was sleeping. I said ‘no’ for some reason,” Way said…

It’s the near future. Money has been replaced by Reputation, which calculates a person’s net worth based on their popularity. The Christians are fighting the Muslims, everyone’s got a camera trying to record the next big thing and the world is about to come to an end…

Palanic. Pah-looney-ick. Palindromicon. Phonetically, the sight of Chuck Palahniuk’s name causes my eyes and the little voice in my head that reads things out loud to let loose angry torrents of bloody tears. Intellectually however, the very mention of his name sets my literary nether regions quivering…

Each of the four programs slated for elimination as a result of budget cuts was given the chance to speak to a special meeting of the Faculty Senate on Tuesday. Representatives from the Department of Rural and Community Sociology, the Department of Theatre and Dance…

I’m pretty sure I know what’s supposed to go here. I just don’t want to do it. After all, I’ve worked at the Evergreen for two years, moving my way up from opinion editor to managing editor. I’ve been there. I’ve done that. I’ve slept off the hangover the next day…

I don’t normally start off my day with Ashlee Simpson singing about “L.O.V.E” But then, today was not really normal in any sense of the word. I admit to feeling some trepidation when this idea was first presented to me. Part with my iPod? I’d sooner part with a limb…

Oh hey there, NFL. Sit down, sit down. What are we all doing here? Well, the most important thing to note is that everyone in this room loves you and cares about you. See the fat guy in the corner with tearstains marring an otherwise lovely Packers paint job across his engorged gut…
