Editorial: Remember November

Editorial Staff November 8, 2013

Count your blessings

Coleen Grissom November 8, 2013

Endeavoring to recall scraps of something I read decades ago, the name of a minor actor in an old movie,  the closing chapter of a novel I last read when I was an undergraduate - these are some of the...

A vicious cycle

Lauren Schroeter November 8, 2013

Most days I have to set two alarms just to ensure that I will roll out of bed 40 minutes afterwards.  I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.  At least I hope I'm not, because that would make me weird,...

The empowering disability

John Mendiola November 4, 2013

Being a first-year student at Trinity University, I was terrified during my first few weeks. You see, I was born with a speech impediment. Ideas flourish in my mind, but they just don't transfer smoothly...

John Mendiola November 4, 2013

You may have noticed this summer that your favorite lake was dried up or a tree you considered an old friend is now a dead stump. These visible signs of drought are minor compared to the many problems...

Plagiarism: no excuse for the wicked

Cynara Medina November 4, 2013

I spent three hours tracking down a plagiarism case, and it ticks me off. Three hours on someone who has as much respect for me as one would have for a gnat. Three hours that could have gone to reviewing...

Building Trinity from the ground up

Coleen Grissom October 27, 2013

A couple of weekends ago was the annual Trinity University Alumni Weekend, which brings to campus hundreds of graduates, some of whom live nearby and frequently attend events on campus; others reside in...

Editorial: Arresting the Bad Walking Credit Diaries

Editorial Staff October 27, 2013

Last week, while campus was tucked away in bed binge-watching every show available on Netflix, it appears that the University did not take such a break. Instead of guffawing at the antics of the Bluth...

Times may be a-changin’ for credit hours

David Crockett October 27, 2013

Today the Academic Faculty Assembly is scheduled to vote on whether the university should redefine the credit hour. I have been surprised that there has been no significant student engagement on this fundamental...

A dishonorable portrayal

Carlos Anchondo October 27, 2013

On Oct. 11, the Trinitonian ran a photograph on the front page, above the fold, of a San Antonio AIDS Foundation van that visited the Coates Esplanade. On the van is a woman, adorned with a yellow flower...

Coming back to San Antonio

John Mendiola October 12, 2013

As a first-grader from Victoria, Texas, on a field trip to Sea World, I wanted someday to return to San Antonio so I could go on a date on the River Walk. Little did I know that I'd get to come to college...
