Letter from the Editor: Art hasn’t stopped
JOEL KEMEGUE, Evergreen mint editor
May 15, 2020
I joined The Daily Evergreen in fall 2019 because I wanted to make dumb satire articles and nothing else. Mint was the way to do that. Maybe I’d dip my toe in a news article every other month, but I had no intention of going any further than that. If you had asked me then if I wanted to be Mint edi...
Letter from the Editor: Focus on WSU
JACOB HERSH, Evergreen opinion editor
May 13, 2020
It’s a crazy world in which we’ve found ourselves, where masks are high fashion and hand sanitizer suddenly becomes a hoarded commodity. Personally, I never could have predicted a worldwide pandemic. (My money was always on a nuclear war, but that’s another story.) When you look around, however...
Letter from the Editor: Here’s to staying local
MADYSEN MCLAIN, Evergreen roots editor
May 11, 2020
My journey with The Daily Evergreen began in August 2018. I didn't think an informational meeting and a chance to get free pizza would quickly turn into an experience I would never forget. Since then, I have written for the news section, helped lead a section as deputy news editor, and wrote for Ro...
Letter from the Editor: Emphasizing the ‘Ever’ in Evergreen
ANGELICA RELENTE and JACQUI THOMASSON
May 11, 2020
Although it has been weeks since we last set foot in Murrow Hall, we can still picture some of the quotes that line the walls of the newsroom. One quote that is still fresh in our minds is “The job of the newspaper is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.” Today, there are countle...
Letter from the editor: Community is everything
GRACE ARNIS, Managing Editor
May 1, 2020
Dear readers, Coming back for a fifth year of college was always something I knew I would have to do. I learned in an introductory communication course my second semester of college the final class requirement to complete my degree directly conflicted with my schedule as a student-athlete on the wom...
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 I...
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...
International students will not be able to stay in the country if they do not take at least one in-person course in fall 2020, according to a statement...
