I brought my dog to Pullman my senior year. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made at college. I’ve had horrible living experiences in Pullman, but they were mostly my own fault. When I got here, I was on crutches because of a skiing accident the previous season…

In my last semester at college, I find myself savoring every experience I have left like an old man blowing his kids’ inheritance playing craps in Vegas. As with most people, my memories are connected to the music I listen to. Jimmy Eat World’s “Bleed American” makes me think of high school baseball…

Last semester, an anonymous woman contacted the university and told officials that a convicted sex offender was teaching a physical education course at WSU. The tip was correct. Geoffrey Lee Keller, 26, of Idaho, was convicted of lewd conduct with a minor under the age of 16 in 2006 and was teaching American Social Dance…

Hello, reader. Nice to see you again. This semester, the Evergreen will continue to provide up-to-date coverage of local news, Cougar sports and WSU events like we always have. However, we will also dedicate pages to global news to help put things in perspective…

Looking back at this decade in music has led me to one conclusion: It was dominated by the ladies. From the super-commercial success of Beyonce and Lady Gaga to the indie breakout hits of M.I.A. and Amy Winehouse, it was women who broke ground and defined the decade in music…

Kristen Grindley, the 23-year-old WSU alumna who was found in a pool of blood on Pullman-Albion Road early Wednesday morning, is out of intensive care and in satisfactory condition. Whitman County Sheriff Brett Myers said that, as of Tuesday afternoon, Grindley was doing better but was not in any condition to speak…

When I pushed play on the new band Dead Man’s Bones, I was expecting something dark and morbid and awesome. I wasn’t expecting to hear a children’s choir. But as I let the first track off the band’s self-titled album run, I realized that hearing a child’s voice eerily chant…

Aug. 19 10:37 p.m. Officer Kelly Stewart responds to Woman 1’s first report of assault on Library Road. Aug. 20 8:40 p.m. Woman 1 reports seeing her attacker. 9:30 p.m. Stewart checks on Woman 1, notices that her bruising hasn’t gotten worse…

Editor’s note: In August, three reported assaults on campus shook the WSU community. In the end, all three reports were false. Until now, there has been no explanation of those events. Last week, The Daily Evergreen obtained the police reports for all three cases…

Students contracted “The Pullman Plague,” or H1N1 as university officials prefer, at the beginning of the semester because they were sleep-deprived, ate poorly and partied excessively, according to findings from focus groups conducted by WSU. “Students at Washington State University did what most students do the week they return to college: wear themselves down with late night parties…

When sophomore Michelle Fererro was told she had swine flu, she was skeptical. Fererro said that in the first week of school she suspected she was getting sick with strep throat, so she went to Health and Wellness Services. HWS told her multiple times that she had H1N1 or swine flu…

I’ve been going through a Brit band phase lately. Brit rock, Brit pop, Brit bibbity-bop – whatever you want to call it. But the reason is because Muse just released their new album, “The Resistance,” on Sept. 14. I’ve also been listening to the Scottish indie-band…

I. Love. Wings. Period. They are, quite simply, my favorite food. I love them all: regular, buffalo, spicy, BBQ – you name it, I’ll scarf it. Part of the appeal is the grubby nature of it all. Wings are dirty, and I like ‘em. They coat your fingers and make them slick with sauce…

I'm a music snob – I admit it. I hate on other people for listening to Pink and Britney Spears and Green Day (since "American Idiot"). I make fun of emo and screamo and any other "mo" that I come across. I don't watch MTV, although MTV2 isn't out of the question…

WSU President Elson S. Floyd said the way that some universities around the country report the flu may be causing them to “underestimate the number of cases” in an e-mail sent to WSU alumni and friends on Wednesday. “So the numbers alone don’t tell us much…
