We can probably all agree that Southeast had it coming.  After their students asked students from other Lincoln schools via Facebook to come support LSE so everyone could rally against us in the state football quarterfinals, they were asking for it.
And while defeating them was epic, we need to remember that rivalries are fun… to a point.
Rivalries bring students together in an “us versus them” mentality.  It’s good to have healthy competition and it’s doubtful anyone would disagree that the Southeast game was the best game of the year. …

Here is story Of Mice and Men (and women, let’s be politically correct.)

A letter from the editor…..
Well guys, welcome back. Summer is officially over (as of two days ago) and nothing else is looking good until graduation.
Yikes.
Just kidding. (Sort of)
I’ve been rifling through my mind for a column topic: How to Walk In the Hallways
(Seriously, freshmen? Were you are raised by incredibly slow-moving-middle-of-the-hallway-stopping-either-side-of-the-stairwell-using wolves? ), a political commentary (Imay have this wrong, but I think I may be a socialist and, because of that, parents

I’m Ann-Christine Narloch and I’m an exchange student from Hamm, Germany. On Aug., 23 I turned 17. My hobbies are swimming, being a life guard on the German coasts, teaching younger guys in swimming, standard dancing and of course writing articles for a German newspaper and homepage and interviewing people for our citizen radio in Hamm.
I arrived here in Lincoln on Thursday, Aug. 13. Till then, I made a lot of new experiences and got to know the differences between Germany and America.
