by Hallie Gleeson The thermostat has at last plunged into the chilly range (or at least, it was supposed to at the time of writing), the leaves have turned and gathered into resplendent heaps on the ground, and the stores have begun blasting Christmas carols. The last of the midterms and the final project assignments […]

Underrated Resources for Centre Freshmen
by Olivia Barker When you first toured Centre, your tour guide probably rambled off a million different great resources Centre could offer you. If you’re anything like me, you probably forgot every last one the second you moved in. When you’re still adjusting to the academic rigor during your first year at Centre, it can […]
So, Your Roommate is Going Abroad…
by Charlesie Robison This semester is coming to a close, and with a new semester comes students going abroad! Study abroad students will be going around the world, having new experiences, making new friends, and experiencing a culture unlike their own! However, if you are like me, you are staying here in Danville, Kentucky where […]
Ask Abe: Is Cowansgiving Good (Or The Trifecta?)
Dear Abe, Is Cowansgiving any good? As I am a statue, I have no opportunity to eat food. That being said, I know the festivities of Cowansgiving are wonderful. A lot of work and care is put into preparing delicious food, above and beyond regular Parkhurst food, for every student, and although the lines are […]
Ask Abe: Getting Out Socially?
How do I learn what events are happening? I feel like I just don’t know where to look. Well, I’ve always found that there is too much happening on Centre’s campus. Frankly, it becomes overwhelming. And, unfortunately, as a statue, I can’t attend many events, but I’m not sure I know what I’d pick or […]
Ask Abe: Housing & Books
Abe, is it true that housing gets better with more seniority? Which housing is best? Just not sure what I can look forward to. In general, yes, the housing does get “better” with more seniority. The problem with this generalization is that the quality of the housing options is very dependent on the kind of […]
Ask Abe: Housing and Books
Dear Abe, I had the worst housing slot, and I’m stuck in a dorm I didn’t want. Everyone says it’s going to be miserable. What do I do? First of all, I understand your complaints. Centre’s housing system isn’t the easiest to deal with—and you’re telling me. I’m stuck outside in the wind and the […]
Ask Abe: I Feel Left Out!
Dear Abe, how do I make friends if I didn’t rush? I feel left out! Don’t worry! I didn’t rush either. Running up a hill is kind of hard for an immobile metal statue like myself (if I was able to rush I would definitely have gone ΣΑΕ though). There are a few things to […]
The CentEthicist: Is It Ethical to Use a Club Just for the Free Food?
Dear Ethicist, I want to attend an event for a club on campus because there will be free food, but I don’t really have any interest in the organization. Apart from the free food, I know I will gain nothing intellectually or recreationally from going. I am almost out of flex dollars and Cowan upsets […]
Ask Abe: Internship Troubles
“How do I look for research and internship positions? I know the CCPD exists, but how do you get started?” Thank you so much for asking! We all know that Centre has a wondrous array of resources for us to take advantage of, but how do we actually go about using these resources effectively? Not […]
