Morgan: This week, we’re going to talk about the potential defunding of arts programs and the status of art in the Trump era. There has been speculation that Trump may eliminate the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), both agencies that have been around for over 50 years.
At the age of just 15, Romy and Oliver formed a duet; Jamie joined soon after. In 2009, The xx released their debut album under the title xx with the British independent record label Young Turks. Overall, xx had a great reception, with it ranking as number nine on Rolling Stone’s list of the best albums of the year.
My roommates and I get into daily, 20-minute long arguments about who’s going to undertake the great exertion of grabbing the TV remote to tell Netflix we’re still watching. I had never camped before or even hiked, but there I was about to do the whole peeing in bushes and not showering thing for five whole days. Needless to say, I was completely and utterly unprepared for the insanity that was about to descend on me.
So when winter break started, and I finally got the opportunity to just sit down in front of my TV at home to play Final Fantasy XV, you bet I did. I logged in a good dozen hours or so over a few days. However, my interest kind of just fizzled out after those first few days. Between sessions of gameplay, I found myself browsing through Final Fantasy forums and videos.

This month, the Times issued another check up, this time called the 2020 report. Unlike its 2014 cousin, this report is a mere 37 pages long, and better still, it’s not nearly so negative. Instead of describing a struggling paper, the 2020 report shows readers how the Times has begun to refute its own self criticisms and close gaps between itself and other papers. It’s a much more hopeful prognosis this time around.
Of the 14 executive actions Trump signed in his initial seven days, the one that had (and has) perhaps the most immediate and direct effect on people’s lives is the executive order pertaining to immigration and refugee situations.
School probably isn’t the only thing that might be getting people’s spirits down at the moment. With that, I wish you all the best semester yet, in spite of anything you may be up against. I hope you enjoy the first Playlist of the year!
Lia, who suffered from severe epilepsy, was constantly jostled by two conflicting forces. Her parents, deeply superstitious and adhering to Hmong traditional beliefs, believed that the hospital’s invasive procedures and medications were harming their daughter’s soul.

I remember staying up past my bedtime to watch streams of gaming conventions like E3 to see whether a new trailer for the game would come out; More often than not, I’d go to sleep disappointed. I have never anticipated a game as much as I have this one, and for good reason.
There were chants, too. And prayers. Songs. Signs. Solidarity. The coming together for a cause, a movement, a purpose — for caring for one another, our well-being and our futures.
I first came across the poem “Sestina” by Elizabeth Bishop in my senior-year AP Literature class. At first, having been unfamiliar with the sestina form, I did not recognize that this poem was a sestina at all and was thoroughly confused by all the repetition of images and words.
Some of us might be heading home for the holidays, some of us might not be. Whatever our post-semester plans might be, it’s time for us to wind down and anticipate what will hopefully be at least a bit of a break. It’s also just about time to welcome a change of season — fall is rapidly turning into winter. It won’t officially be winter until the end of the exam period, but we’re already getting some of that crisp, wintry weather here in Baltimore and let’s face it, it’s the feeling that matters more than the official solstice.

The casual refusals to consume each dinner’s protein had continued to build up that summer. As a 16 year old unable to hide anything from my mother for longer than a week, I finally decided to reveal my dietary mission.
Every Thursday afternoon, the old newspapers in their stacks all around campus vanish and new ones appear like magic. What you don’t know is what happens the night before. For the Chiefs, Managing Editors, News & Features Editors and the all-important Copy Editors (disclaimer: one of them is me), Wednesday nights are a different world.
