Other Things to Worry about Besides Ebola

November 11, 2014 by Justina Huang

If you were a child born in Sierra Leone, there is an 18.2 percent chance that you will not live to blow out five candles on a birthday cake that you most likely do not have access to. That is three to four students in the average class size of 20 students at Pepperdine. If […]

20 Years Later, ‘Friends’ is Still Relevant

October 20, 2014 by Justina Huang

Sick of New Year’s resolutions you cannot keep? Have no fear, for starting Jan. 1, 2015, all 10 seasons and 236 episodes of Friends will be there for you on Netflix. Something tells me that finishing every episode will seem like a doable goal. The appeal of a show like “Friends” is that it is […]

Democracy is Not a Will of the West

October 14, 2014 by Justina Huang

Photos Courtesy of Ryan Osborn Everything you need to know about what is happening in Hong Kong right now When Britain “returned” Hong Kong back to China on July 1, 1997, a principle of “one country, two systems” was implemented. Hong Kong would not practice China’s socialist system, and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region […]

Let’s Stop Bragging About Lack of Sleep

October 8, 2014 by Justina Huang

We live in a culture that thrives on valuing hard work. This is great! We enjoy trading anecdotes of success stories and how we pulled ourselves up from our bootstraps, and as college students, one of our favorite things to do is to complain about how much we deprive ourselves. If I had an hour […]

Change of Conversation

October 5, 2014 by Justina Huang

Someone among us has broken the law, so let us spend time attacking those who released the news, talking about the individual and never doing anything about it. It’s low maintenance involvement, and to a certain degree, condemning the Graphic feels like passive activism. Many of you condemn the Graphic for not showing any empathy […]

Dear Students, Banning Tech Makes a Whole Lot of Sense

September 25, 2014 by Nate Barton

Photo by Justina Huang Most lecture hall professors can be divided into two groups. There are those who allow laptops, cellphones and tablets into the classroom and those who do not. To the chagrin of most of my classmates, I will defend the latter. This is not in direct opposition to the idea of learning […]

Dear Profs, Stop Banning Laptops in the Classroom

September 25, 2014 by Justina Huang

Photo by Justina Huang It is the arguments you have heard over and over again. Taking notes via the pen comes with fewer distractions than with the laptop. I buy this argument. What I do not buy as much is the argument that since research “proves that typing is a more shallow cognitive process,” that […]

To Zoodles and Beyond

September 19, 2014 by Justina Huang

Photo by Justina Huang Remember the controversy with Libby’s Zoodles? In case you have no idea what I am referring to, a canned pasta label received buzz when a mother wrote to the company and complained about the palm tree resembling a phallus. Today, I am introducing a different kind of zoodle. Short for “zucchini […]

In the Name of Diversity

September 18, 2014 by Justina Huang

Art by Xander Hayes When abroad, Pepperdine students often speak of homesickness. For 9.95 percent of Seaver, that is a constant reality. According to the admissions website, this 9.95 percent of international students hail mainly from China (28.97 percent), Indonesia (10.34 percent), South Korea (7.97 percent), Canada (4.83 percent) and India (3.10 percent). For an […]

Why Mandatory Convocation is Failing Us

September 5, 2014 by Justina Huang

“From its beginning,” the Pepperdine Convocation website writes, “Pepperdine has included regular assemblies where students gather to grow in faith, hear engaging speakers and learn more about how they can make a difference in this world through purpose, service and leadership.” Claiming to be the “contemporary connection” to the “integral aspect of Pepperdine’s Christian mission,” […]
