By Francesca Miller, Staff Writer West Liberty students spend hours and hours every week up on the hill and when a student spends that much time anywhere, they might have a few complaints. During my time here, I have had my fair share of grievances like I am sure most students have. For example, parking [...]
By Tara Adamczyk, Contributing Writer Within the last few years, vampires in movies and books have changed a lot. The original idea of a vampire was a tad ironic: an immortal dead person who kills other people by sucking their blood. They cannot go outside without bursting into flames and are killed with a stake [...]
By Kyle Lutz, Staff Writer Yippee ki-yay, Bruce Willis is back as John McClane in “A Good Day to Die Hard,” the fifth installment in the popular “Die Hard” franchise. But don’t get your hopes too high because this installment of the movie does not run on the same level as the other ones.
