Schoolhouse rocks
“Schoolhouse Rock, LIVE!”, a play that has been performed at Doner Auditorium since last weekend and will continue through this week with matinees, is a play for all ages. This play brings back to life the classic early-’70s cartoon “Schoolhouse Rock.
Local band hopeful about music career
Their eyes light up as they talk about it. Their voices fill with excitement as they reveal the work behind it. And passion flows while they play. Music isn’t just their hobby-it’s their life. Of Kings and Presidents is one of many local music acts in the Brookings area.
Relationships under scrutiny
“The Ugly American” portrays Americans as ignorant, ethnocentric, and corrupt in this multi-million-copy bestseller by William Lederer and Eugene Burdick. This is a fiction story about Americans involved in foreign policies during the fight against communism in Asia.
Local bands put on good show
Three area bands played at the Main Street Pub Thursday, April 13. Such an event may seem trivial in the wake of Switchfoot Monday night, but those who caught this little pub gig got a show completely unlike that at the Swiftel Center. The bands, The Glass Atlantic, Post Moritz, and My Monday Regret rang out with some original and lively punk songs to a very receptive crowd.
Like condoms, use decals every time
I am no longer a virgin. That’s right, the UPD had its way with me today, and there wasn’t squat I could do about it. I’m talking about parking tickets, and I’m sure a lot of you will agree with what I have to say about them. At times, yes, they are a very necessary part of campus life to keep things running smoothly.
Scriptures need definite interpretation
Eric, in 2 Kings 2:23-24, the word the King James Version translates from Hebrew as “little children” is “na’ar”. “Na’ar” is a general term for unmarried males whose ages are anywhere from an infant to 30 years old. How old were they exactly? I don’t know, but I wager that neither did those who translated the KJV.
Drunk bus deserves appreciation
Opposed to the letter titled “Students should pay to ride drunk bus” in the April 11 Collegian, I believe the Brookings Area Transit Authority (BATA) late night program is incredibly fair. It’s not only a great program for the South Dakota State University students, but also the surrounding community.
Interpretations are different for everyone
Bible’s purpose: create saving faith Isaac Asimov is a good read when it comes to science fiction, not so good when it comes to theology. I recently read a quote of his saying “Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.” The Bible was, of course, not conceived as a “potent force for atheism.
Misunderstandings may lead some away
In response to the various claims made in the Collegian over the past couple of issues as to whether the Bible itself or Christians are to blame for the adoption of atheism: Firstly, to approach the Bible excuse: it is important to remember that the Bible is not intended to be as dry as a mathematical equation or an instruction manual.
Experience tainted by personal thoughts
I’m writing in response to Eric Novotny’s letter in the April 11 edition of the Collegian. I want to start off by saying that Mr. Novotny landed a qualitatively cheap shot on Christians by pulling all kinds of vauge references from the Old Testament, often out of context, to use in making them look bad.
