OPINION: ASWSU just pays lip service to POC
JOEL KEMEGUE, Evergreen columnist
March 9, 2020
The multicultural debate last Wednesday disappointed me. In a forum for discussion about what each of the candidates planned to do for people of color at WSU, I walked out with no idea what anybody planned to do to address any problems relating to people of color at WSU. I admit I left early, but Iâ€...
Letter from the editor: let’s talk resolutions
MINDY MALONE, Evergreen Mint editor
January 16, 2020
I know I'm about two weeks late saying it, but happy new year! I've always been a big fan of New Year's Day. I know time is arbitrary and everything is meaningless and blah, blah, blah, nihilistic commentary. Whatever, I've always thought it's a good idea. I believe everyone is always looking for ...
Letter from the editor: Mint is getting creative
SYDNEY BROWN, Evergreen Mint editor
October 9, 2019
This is the third letter of this nature that I have written, so I will keep this one short. I started as a Life reporter for The Daily Evergreen, but I always loved the loose feeling of Mint. It seemed a place to go for more creative nonfiction. As someone whose love of writing came in the form of...
Letter from the editor: Where I come from, De donde vengo
DAISY ZAVALA, Evergreen News editor
October 2, 2019
We were constantly picking fruit, always working in a rush. We didn’t have time to think. We were mechanical because we were expected to be mechanical. But when I was up there at the tops of the trees, I stopped to watch the sunrise. As I stood on the 11th step of a twelve-foot ladder and watched...
Letter from the editor: Pulling back the curtain this semester
EMMA LEDBETTER, Evergreen social media & engagement editor
October 2, 2019
Perhaps, as a reader of The Daily Evergreen, you’ve found yourself wondering what goes on behind the scenes of our newspaper. Or, maybe, you pick up the paper or click on an article and aren’t sure which faceless name produced what you’re looking at. Trust me, I was once in the same place....
Letter from the Mint editor: Celebrate mom’s weekend with simple activities
EMMA LEDBETTER, Evergreen mint editor
April 11, 2019
Welcome, once again, to the Minty-freshest section around. We’re rocking a Mom’s Weekend theme today as we anticipate the arrival of thousands of Cougar parents on campus. This is my first Mom’s Weekend ever, and I don’t quite know what to expect. I’ve heard the rumors about moms going...
Letter from the mint editor: People of the Palouse will showcase stories
EMMA LEDBETTER, Evergreen mint editor
April 4, 2019
Now that I can sit outside without freezing, I’ve been spending a lot of time studying on Thompson Flats. And by studying, I mean getting distracted by all the people walking by and lounging on the grass near me. I’m not sure why I love people-watching, but I could sit for hours imagining stories...
Letter from the Mint editor: Treat pre-spring blues with sandals, music, events
EMMA LEDBETTER, Evergreen mint editor
March 21, 2019
Yesterday was the first official day of spring, and let me just say, it couldn’t come soon enough. Spring semester feels less than “springy,” and my fatigue and lack of productivity the past few months left me wondering if I might have Seasonal Affective Disorder. Turns out, I don’t have it,...
Letter from the Mint editor: Avoid inevitable snowy death this winter
EMMA LEDBETTER, Evergreen mint editor
February 21, 2019
It’s my first winter in Pullman, and I can’t exactly say it’s going well. I was born and raised on the west side, so I’m a fan of moderate climates with minimal snow and ice. I heard Pullman was not conducive to my weather preferences, but for a lot of January, I was starting to believe this...
Letter from the Mint editor: Communicate openly for your relationship’s sake
EMMA LEDBETTER, Evergreen mint editor
February 14, 2019
Welcome, once again, to Mint. You’ll notice this week we have a Valentine’s Day theme, and you know what that means! Time for a letter from the editor about everyone’s favorite holiday. Valentine’s Day is one of those holidays you either love or hate. There is no in-between. Specifically,...
Letter from the Mint editor: ‘Full send’ lifestyle is for college students
EMMA LEDBETTER, Evergreen mint editor
January 31, 2019
I recently decided to live my life with more of a “full send” outlook. If you know me at all, you know I am definitely not a full send type of gal. I am absolutely not spontaneous — my planner is my life — and I think the phrase “partial send” is probably a safer life motto. However,...
Letter from the Mint editor: Never look at creepy dolls
EMMA LEDBETTER, Evergreen mint editor
January 24, 2019
Last semester, Mint frequently featured letters from the editor, or “lettidors,” written by former Mint section editor Lauren Ellenbecker. Fortunately, I ran into Lauren the other day and was able to ask for advice about crafting the perfect letter for readers. She revealed she sometimes got goo...
