For more than 62 years, the University of Mississippi has been an integrated institution of higher learning — thanks to civil rights activists’ well-documented, deliberate struggles during that time. Depending on the metric of time measurement you choose, that period is equivalent to two or three generations that have lived in a fully integrated society […]
Meritocracy — the idea that success is based solely on ability and effort — has long been praised as the foundation of a just society. The notion that hard work pays off, regardless of background, seems simple enough, but reality has often been far more complex, especially for minorities and other historically marginalized groups. Now […]
Spring semester has kicked off and with it comes takes from students across campus. The spring semester is better than the fall semester. And fire is hot. Not to be snarky, but it’s about time we let go of the notion that the fall semester is far superior to the spring. The only — and […]
Consumerism is quite literally one of the things that makes the world go round. It is deeply woven into the fabric of American society, as the material-focused culture is seen throughout day-to-day life. It’s that urge to spend money just because you have it.

Currently serving in the contested seat is Roger Wicker, a University of Mississippi alumnus, incumbent since 2007 and native of Pontotoc, Miss.

Maddox Mullee The 2024 election will be the first presidential election in which I have had the privilege of voting. I cannot think of a more consequential election. I plan on voting for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. I’m almost hesitant to say I’m voting for Trump because I think he is a […]
I just turned 18 this year, and I’m tired of people using the phrase “thoughts and prayers” in response to tragedy like that’s going to do anything.
