By Kevin Horne

Nobody A wise man once told me, "Dodgeball is 90 percent heart and 10 percent skill." It was with those words in mind that I suited up for the First Annual Spring Media Dodgeball Spectacular. The wise man was wrong. Well, sort of.

Hazing is wrong. There, I said it. It's one of the most polarizing issues on college campuses yet nobody wants to talk about it. It's like racism in modern American society.

I don’t do drugs, nor do I condone their use. I prefer to live my life according to the words of Marcus Garvey. “The man who is not able to develop and use his mind is bound to be the slave of the other man who uses his mind.”

But dudes, Friday was 4/20, the high holy day of the stoner population. And I don’t know what those guys were on, but I thought it spread across campus and I had caught a whiff of it. I saw some freaky stuff on Pollock Road by the HUB, and second-hand dope seemed like the only logical explanation.

Pennsylvania. The most important state in the United States. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were signed within its borders. Three cities (Philadelphia, York and Lancaster) can proudly declare that they were the nation’s capital at some point in our country’s history.
