I got my first cell phone in the sixth grade. Most of my friends received theirs at the tender age of nine. So, once I did too, I quickly felt part of the conversation again. It’s now been seven years since then, and as an 18-year-old college student, my phone usage has increased exponentially. I now spend more time on my phone than studying, eating and sleeping combined.
Students Against Sexual Assault (SASA), is coming out with its own magazine this semester, the Survivor Zine Magazine. It will showcase personal accounts of sexual assault from students on the Bluff through stories, poems and art pieces.
“Full Metal Jacket,” a Vietnam War movie by Stanley Kubrik, is misunderstood. Of course, movies are an art form and can be interpreted however one wants. However, they are very rarely made as blank canvases. Filmmakers have an intended message and each element is carefully chosen to get that message across.

You walk through campus, past the West Quad and start the trek down the hill to River Campus. You smile as the rays of sun hit the field and you see your mates lacing up their boots. You are a University of Portland club soccer player.
I'm sure you have heard enough about Taylor Swift after this summer and reading anything more about her might seem like your worst nightmare. Maybe you don't like her music, maybe you don't like her fans and maybe you just don't get the hype. Regardless of your opinion, I think you should care about what she brings to the table as a powerful woman. If you haven't heard of “Taylor’s Version,'' (or if you have and don't think it's important) I strongly encourage you to continue reading — maybe you can gain some perspective on why this is about so much more than music.
LGBTQ+ History Month is celebrated every October to recognize and remember the contributions of the LGBTQ+ community. Originated by Rodney Wilson in 1994, LGBTQ+ History Month is also celebrated in the same month as National Coming Out Day on Oct. 11. At UP, queer history is filled with grievances and strife — something that has tied together the history of the past to the present. Through all of this, UP’s queer community remains unified and vibrant, a reflection of the larger LGBTQ+ community in Portland.

Mago Hunt’s stage is bare, save for a school desk and a couple of chairs, for the first play of the season, “TBA.” Directed by Barbie Wu, a professor from Reed College, “TBA” is entirely stage read, meaning the actors read from scripts as they perform on a mostly empty set. The audience gets to witness the actors flip the pages, often all at the same time, while a stage director audibly describes the play’s setting and character action from one side of the stage.
Welcome back to this week's Pilots Weekly RoundUP. With midterm season and fall break quickly approaching, UP’s student-athletes have flown through the fifth week of their fall season. Last week marked the start of conference play and the conclusion of the first tournament for women’s tennis.
For many people, their lives start when they are born. But for some transgender people, it starts when they can finally become themselves — a process that can take years, cost up to thousands of dollars and almost assures a battle for visibility and acceptance.
I sat in the back of the dark movie theater with my friends, hugging the giant popcorn bucket for comfort, feeling a wave of emotions wash over me. It was happiness, sadness and pride all rolled into one warm feeling in my stomach. I even let out a few tears once the credits rolled.
Awoken by a frantic phone call from her friend, Mileina Sniffen’s seemingly normal Thursday morning quickly turned into a day filled with fear, confusion and uncertainty.
