Prowling cougars on college campus OK

College is filled with women and men of all ages, so women dating younger men isn’t all that unlikely. So is being a cougar OK in college? Yes. Older women, single, divorced or widowed, should date younger men, not only because younger men are usually the single ones, but also because age shouldn’t define a […]

Tall women should stick with like-sized men

Tall women with short men? No thanks. A man’s hands, not his head, should be at a woman’s waist when they dance. Now, I’m not talking about a two-inch difference here. I’m talking about the 5-foot-5-inch man going after the 6-foot woman. While he might be sexy, the below-average height of a man with the […]

A little common scents goes a long way; students talk olfactory pleasantries

Baked goods just as they come out of the oven, a patch of roses as you walk by, and the smell of the opposite sex’s body odor may be exactly what a person’s nose is itching to sniff. In fact, it may be what attracts a person to the opposite sex. B.O. in this case means any […]

Students, faculty debate the debates

The presidential debates have been as heated as ever, and while many students know exactly who they are voting for this year, others have had a hard time deciding. Have the presidential debates helped to change the minds of students who know exactly who they are voting for, or do the debates even matter? Jesus […]

Fur among many elements of season’s fashion

While it may not seem like it in southern Utah, fall season is here, and so is the season’s newest fashion. Though shorts and a tank may be the best outfit for the 70-80 degree weather in St. George, blazers, scarves and Ugg boots are filling the streets in northern Utah. So are this fall […]
