VEGAS ON A BUDGET

by Jarod Clarke in Point of View

Towards the end of our trip we made an impulse decision, drove to Las Vegas for a night and experienced Sin City for the first time. Because my friends and I weren't familiar with Vegas at all and had no Internet connection during the week, we basically took things as they came and did everything and anything we could, joking that we were going to create our own version of the movie The Hangover.

HOOVER DAM

by Jarod Clarke in Point of View

On our way to Las Vegas, Nev. from Tucson, Ariz. my friends and I drove across the Hoover Dam. As one of the only routes across the Colorado River, we had no idea we would get caught in a traffic jam for three hours. We ran into a construction zone before reaching the dam because they are building a new bridge which will eventually replace the road which goes over the dam itself.

INDOOR SKYDIVING

by Jarod Clarke in Point of View

During the time we stayed in Tucson, Ariz. our friend we stayed with found an advertisement in one of the Tucson travel guides for indoor skydiving. No one in our group had ever tried any kind of skydiving, and we weren't sure what to expect, but decided to give it a try.

MAKIN' THAT MONEY

by Kevin Frojd in Feature

Take a dollar bill out of your pocket. Do you see anything interesting about your dollar bill? Probably not, and that is understandable. So who really cares about a dollar bill? It is just a dollar. That is a very good question. Across the nation there are many famous sites to see, Devil's Tower, the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, Lincoln Memorial, Library of Congress, or the White House being just a few of them.

WET CAMPUS IDEA LEAVES STUDENTS DRY

Northwest polls students on suggestion of partially-wet campus

by Bethany Rowell in Feature

When you turn the exciting age of 21, an automatic reaction you might have to is to go out and buy alcohol all on your own. When you live in campus, however, that plan might be thrown off track due to Northwest Missouri State being a 'dry campus,' one that does not allow alcohol beverages on the premises.
