A winter storm forced many Geneseo students to return to campus early, but the Geneseo Ice Knights were on campus even earlier for a weekend slate against two Massachusetts teams, the Amherst College Mammoths and the Williams College Ephs.

There is a fundamental flaw with high school curriculum: the lack of preparation it gives students for college.
Read MoreTrue generous spirit of Christmas gets overshadowed by consumerism
Christmas is one of the most popular and commercialized holidays, period. In the United States, it seems that preparations by companies and businesses begin as early as late summer regarding advertising campaigns and event coordination. Shops start setting out decorations and wrapping paper in November, sometimes even before Halloween is over. This over-materialization consumes everything and everyone, and what makes Christmas so wonderful and often so important gets lost among gift tags and discounts.
Read MoreTown of Geneseo fails to provide off-campus students with efficient means of recycling
I became interested in the town of Geneseo’s recycling practices after a friend told me her landlord won’t pay for the service. I wanted to learn whether this was a move motivated by genuine fiscal concerns, or if the landlord was simply being lazy. What I found in my research pointed to a larger issue outside of one landlord and exposed disincentives for recycling in the town of Geneseo. I propose the barrier to access such services should be lessened, and measures should be put in place to encourage recycling in Geneseo.

Attending Geneseo after growing up on Long Island has taught me many differences between suburban and rural lifestyles. I found one of the more striking differences to be how common hunting is for people who live in rural areas. Many of my peers hunt for food as well as for sport, and they often begin doing so at a very young age.
Read MoreLanguage used for educational purposes should be simple, comprehensive
Most college students have come to know academic journals all too well. Have you ever finished one and thought, “What did I just read?” If so, then you are not alone. These articles give me a throbbing headache; so many convoluted words are too close together, and the message becomes lost. Wordy articles deflect from their purpose: to educate. Academia would be better off skipping the complexities and returning to the basics.
Read MoreStaff Editorial: Geneseo administration was right to cancel classes for safety of students, faculty
On Saturday Nov. 30, Chief Communications and Marketing Officer Gail Glover sent out an email to Geneseo students and faculty stating that classes and activities taking place on Monday Dec. 2 were canceled. This decision was made in lieu of the severe snowstorm that affected the Northeast and therefore would make travel back to campus dangerous.

In Greek mythology, mortals cannot look upon a god’s true form without being incinerated on the spot. A recent edition to the pop-culture lexicon, perhaps our modern equivalent to a Greek god, provokes a similar, albeit more welcome, response: a fiery parental instinct, explosive giggle fits and violent, unabashed joy.

Finally, it’s almost Christmas—or Hanukah, or Kwanza or whatever other early-winter holiday you celebrate, but for the purposes of this column I am discussing Christmas in particular. The reason that I am talking about the Christian holiday specifically is because this article will examine a celebrated Christmas icon who perhaps does not deserve a spot on the pedestal upon which he is often placed.
