After seeing a scary movie this past week, I found myself staring in the darkness before I was about to fall asleep and remembering how as a child I would imagine monsters hiding in the shadows. Kids have some of the wildest creative ways of thinking and this is a great thing to have — until their...

Coug Fever is back in full swing on campus. After the first home football game a few weeks ago, those who have fallen prey to its embrace can be seen everywhere on campus.

Movie review: Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

MORGAN LESTER, Evergreen columnist

September 20, 2018

Filed under Mint

Do you know those movies that are best described as “Well, it’s an [insert franchise here] movie?” In other words, it’s a little absurd. “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” is one of those movies. While the action sequences are fun to watch and have tension, and the movie has better character...

Should film be considered an art form

MARY GINTHER, Evergreen columnist

September 20, 2018

Filed under Mint

The controversy over whether film is officially considered an art form has been a long-standing one. Some people go to see movies such as “21 Jump Street” just for the entertainment from Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum. However, it’s questionable if that’s art. Ruth Gregory, instructor and...

On a campus with countless different majors and fields of interest, you’re bound to hear people from outside your discipline ask, “What do you plan to do with that degree?” It’s an unfortunate fact of life that even if you know what you want to do with your degree, everyone else who doesn’t...

There’s a certain appeal of knowing when you’re on a roll. For some reason, life just seems easier, good and jolly when you’re on a streak. Pullman is feeling that right now, as well as the rabid Wazzu fans out there, myself included. We’re 3-0 and that’s a high and mighty wave I intend...

SATIRE: Resident Adviser recalls home invasion, fear

Piercing screams. That was the first thing Adrianna Grande, a Resident Adviser (RA) in Stephenson, recalled about the Horde. “The noises were the worst part,” Grande said, her voice shaking. “The sound of crying, sighs and grunts filled the air as the Horde began to infect the building.” The...

Common Reading “Soonish,” not just for STEM

EMMA LEDBETTER, Evergreen columnist

September 13, 2018

Filed under Mint

My initial impression of “Soonish” was that it was another popular science book that I might have picked up in second grade (that is, if it had been around when I was in second grade, as it wasn’t published until 2017). However, as I read, I realized this impression came solely from the comics...

Booze News: pairing popcorn, champagne

I thought it was prudent to talk about something very near and dear to my heart this week: food. Let’s face it, aside from nights of drunkenness and Halloweek, all we have until March are food holidays. I gathered my Ladies in Drinking and asked what you beautiful bastards enjoyed dining on as you...

Letter from the Mint editor: Would you smoke crack for $1 million

LAUREN ELLENBECKER, Evergreen mint editor

September 13, 2018

Filed under Mint

Daydreaming is a wonder that I will never get tired of experiencing because of the creative ideas that I’m left with afterwards – but sh-t, I’m trying to get an education and my musings are getting in the way. To create a visualization, it’s as if I’m in an oversized armchair, wrapped...
