It’s no secret: WWU has a lot of potholes. Over spring break, the University decided to fix just one pothole at a time. The announcement about which pothole would be fixed first shocked most students, who assumed it would be the pothole in the parking lot of the men’s residence halls.
Wally Wolf, WWU’s beloved and longtime mascot, is actually very old. During the last home game, he broke his hip and was forced into an early retirement. Over spring break administrators deliberated about who WWU’s new mascot would be and finally decided early during week one of spring quarter. WWU’s new mascot is Molly the […]

Adventism has a long and complex history with racial issues.

Early Adventists saw slavery as a sign of the evil nature of […]

The echo of the gunshot rang in Shirley’s ears. Her mind was a vortex of chaos, as everything was happening all at once. She barely recognized Aimi collapsing behind her as her shirt began to turn a bit crimson, nor Parvath fighting her brother, physically getting him into the hall before Caiaphas shot him in […]
Every year, the month of March is designated as Women’s History Month, when women’s contributions and achievements throughout the course of American history are honoured with the purpose of advocating for a better future where bias and discrimination can be eliminated in institutions and everyday social interactions.
Happy Women’s History Month everyone! Now hold on for a second. Did reading that first sentence make you roll your eyes, or did it give you a boost of serotonin? If I had to guess, I would say your reaction to WHM has to do with two things that are intricately connected: your gender and […]
Gender roles are a funny thing. We absorb them from such a young age based on the environment we grow up in. Before we know it, we have a subconscious checklist of what makes a “good” woman and what makes a “good” man. How is this an issue?
Just like the United States, Mexico’s presidential elections take place later this year. The two majority candidates are, for the first time in Mexican history, both women.

This past Saturday night, Battle of the Bands took place at the WEC, where students got to watch performances and have a blast with friends, bands got to put on their best performances competing for first place, and those involved in production got to make one of the most anticipated events all year round happen.
Shirley set the newly acquired lighter on her desk, perfectly in line with the other six she acquired over the past six weeks. The clap of thunder outside signaled a storm heading towards Hamview, something that would’ve scared Shirley if she were still a child. Hercules, Parvath, and Aimi sat at the dining table, perusing […]

Today is Leap Day and I want to encourage you to do something out of the ordinary on this un-ordinarily extra day in February. Take this opportunity to do something you wouldn’t normally do like run a mile, call a friend you haven’t talked to in a while, watch the sunset, or do something fun with […]
Does the word “pinging” mean anything to you? How about “half-tree?” Maybe you’ve heard of the steam tunnels that run underground across campus. Everyone seems to know someone who is involved in many of the secrets of Walla Walla University, but few of us witness the mysteries of the school first hand.
Every four years, February has an extra day – why? I had the same question, so I’ve researched and found some silly little things about leap year for you. The normal calendar year has 365 days, but the amount of time the earth spends spinning around the sun includes about five hours more than 365 […]

For four years here at Walla Walla College I have been told that there is a lot to do on the weekends. All I can think is, “REALITY CHECK, THERE IS NOTHING TO DO!!!” But who knows, maybe I am wrong. I decided to try to prove myself wrong. I challenged myself to come up […]
Shirley and Parvath passed by one another; Parvath examined the body in the main compartment while Shirley met with Tomas in front of the other three bodies. A sheet was fixed over the three workers, making them appear almost like amateur ghost costumes. Shirley shuddered before directing her attention to the nervous man in front […]
College is much more than just school. It’s a place where young adults can enjoy their youth, make friends, and discover who they are. It’s such a shame how they are forced to set aside most of that valuable time to attend class. I mean, who in their right mind would rather spend that many […]
It’s week seven of winter quarter, and I don’t really feel like writing some profound letter from the editor for you all to read. Therefore, I will do two things. The first is to tell you that you should totally read our articles this week, Danyah’s article about skipping class is dripping with satire and […]

It’s not the most common thing to see people purposefully looking for a relationship that is toxic, abusive or controlling by either partner. “Most toxic or abusive relationships don’t start off like that,” mentioned Matthew Vaughan, Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Clinical Director of Counseling at the Health & Wellness Center. There are resources available […]
Shirley turned the lighter in her hands, brows furrowed. The light blue snail danced along her fingers, shining off the sun from the windows in Hercules’ car. Shirley was feeling down; sure, she had solved another crime, but it was orchestrated by the same mastermind, and like the prior cases, she had been out of […]
When people think of love, the only type that tends to come to mind is romantic. And how can it not, when society has put such an important emphasis on romance. However, it is also very important to give platonic love the same level of importance and attention.
I know yesterday was Valentine’s Day and everyone was/is celebrating their romantic and platonic loves, but we at The Collegian wanted to take this opportunity to bring up an uncomfortable but important subject related to relationships: abuse.

While many people see religion as a cause of violence and abuse, the real cause of these behaviors is human selfishness. Throughout time, religion has often been used as a justification for violence and/or abuse. Whether through relationships, politics, or war, people have used religion as an excuse for their actions for a long time. […]

The mission field is frequently criticized for its ethics. At best, critics frame it as culturally insensitive due to many programs’ lack of understanding of the people and religions they work among. At worst, it is described as an active form of modern colonialism, with religious groups taking advantage of Third World problems as an […]
Thomas Mestrov is a sophomore computer science major from Adeline, Australia, who came to America to make his childhood dream of playing college basketball a reality. With nothing but hope and a sense of adventure, he embarked on the biggest move of his life alone.
Election year again!? When did the idea of voting – an American right that some fought and sacrificed to achieve – make us so tired? How can we make voting feel important again without it feeling like a burden?
February 24, 2022, is a day Pasha Rudoi, a freshman nursing student here at Walla Walla University, will never forget. It was the day that the war between Russia and Ukraine broke out. Rudoi lived in Russia with his family until he moved to the United States to attend high school.

Clover Strimling was tapping her […]

Albert Nejib Handal was born to a Honduran father and an Argentinian mother, but on his father’s side, his roots lie in Palestine, a land he has neither lived in nor seen. “I was born in the U.S., I identify as Hispanic, my first language is Spanish. And yet as a part of my dad’s […]
“I don’t feel very grounded.” [1] The confusion and frustration in Jody Washburn’s words as she talked about the conflict in Israel and Palestine echoed a sentiment that rings true for many people. As coverage of the conflict has grown, so has the rhetoric surrounding it, a rhetoric laced with violence and oppression. The barriers […]
The current Gaza-Israel War is not the latest iteration of a millennia-old contest between Jews and Arabs. Instead, it is the predictable and tragic byproduct of an unresolved contest of two competing nationalisms mostly from the 20th Century. In 1919 one meeting nearly altered the future of the Arab-Israeli conflict. This forgotten footnote from just […]
Due to the ability of the internet to transmit information globally, the conflict in Palestine cannot be easily ignored.

A vital part of maintaining good mental health is spending time doing activities outdoors.

A factor that greatly impacts our well-being is the food we eat, and not only the food we eat, but the mental conversation we have with ourselves before, during, and after eating it. It’s obvious how eating healthy foods affects our physical health but maybe less obvious how it impacts our mental health.
Let’s say you have two free hours between classes. What are you doing to de-stress during that time? Some may choose to work out, others may call friends or family, and you might decide to read a book. Unfortunately, most of us would spend that time on our phones, unable to stop scrolling.

Like most organizations, the Adventist Church struggles with unanimous agreement.

The issues may change, but the arguments continue, causing anger and misunderstanding. The problem is not […]
