For The Record: The Environment

By Chase Snyder • Oct 14th, 2009 • Category: for the record

This week's Record might as well be dubbed “The Environmental Issue,” (yes, its a pun), with all the coverage we have of 350.org and other environmental awareness projects occurring around campus. Since there won’t be a Record out next week because of fall break, we...

By Chase Snyder • Oct 7th, 2009 • Category: for the record

Since the inception of Youtube in 2005, the site has served up more than a billion videos for the entertainment and edification of the internet’s denizens. Often, during the week, if I find myself with 20 or 30 minutes of spare time, I’ll turn to Youtube, and fill that...

Ah, here we are – the final issue of the Record for the 2008-2009 academic year. I recognize that some of you have inevitably already read some (or all?) of this last issue online. Good work. It is 11 p.m. on Wednesday, and Michael Neumann and I are finished with...

For the Record Apr. 9

By Ben Noll • Apr 9th, 2009 • Category: for the record

A simple yet profound request made its way into my Gmail inbox last week. It was an invitation to sign a graduation pledge, which read: "I pledge to take into account the social and environmental consequences of any job I consider and will try to improve those aspects...

For the Record Apr. 2

By Sarah Rich • Apr 2nd, 2009 • Category: for the record

When approaching people to inquire whether they might consider writing a perspective for the Record, I always feel slightly guilty – a bit like a door-to-door carpet cleaner salesperson must feel. I feel this guilt mostly because I know people are already so busy. The...

For the Record Mar. 26

By Annalisa Harder • Mar 26th, 2009 • Category: for the record

Recently I've been thinking about what a collaborative Mennonite college newspaper might look like. It's ironic that in our (great/horrible) age of globalization, the five Mennonite colleges are not more connected. What's happening at Bethel College? Did Bluffton...

For the Record Mar. 19

By Jesse Landis-Eigsti • Mar 19th, 2009 • Category: for the record

As a funnies editor, I spend a lot of time thinking about humor. What do I find funny this week? Will other people find it funny as well? Will my article cast some light on the human condition, exposing a peculiarity so truthful that the reader cannot help but to emit a...

For the Record Mar. 12

By Paul Boers • Mar 12th, 2009 • Category: for the record

Something quietly disappeared with the launch of the Record's new Web site. I think it deserves a few words. I'm talking about the Record's online archives. When we transferred to the Wordpress software – which now provides the foundation of our Web site – we retired...

For the Record Mar. 5

By Alysha Landis • Mar 5th, 2009 • Category: for the record

I came back to campus with my feet dragging behind me after the whirlwind of my spring break in New York City. I really didn't want to be back in Indiana. As classes started up again, I felt sorry for myself as I loafed throughout campus with my head down, trying to...

For the Record Feb. 19

By Emily Shantz • Feb 19th, 2009 • Category: for the record

When I was in the fourth grade, I wrote my very first story. The story, written longhand in my Tweety notebook, was about a girl who got all her wishes granted. She had a purple necklace that would grant the wishes whenever she wanted, wishes such as the ability to...

For the Record Feb. 12

By Kathryn Birky • Feb 12th, 2009 • Category: for the record

When the Record's expert delegator – Sheldon Good, editor-in-chief – informed me that I would be responsible for this week's "For the Record," I was hardly in a position to refuse. The problem, however, was that I actually am too busy to spend any more time on the...

For the Record Feb. 5

By Jacob Schlabach • Feb 5th, 2009 • Category: for the record

The Record has made a quiet but significant change to the way it works. For many students, picking up the Record on Thursday is normal. But such an action is declining across the nation. Newspapers everywhere are struggling to maintain their profits as many readers...

For the Record Jan. 29

By Tyler Falk • Jan 29th, 2009 • Category: for the record

Some of my best memories from the Record have come on Thursday afternoons: sitting around a table in the Rott reading the paper, discussing articles and "perspectives" with friends and hanging around until the room is almost completely empty. We read about the what's...
