(11/14/16 10:04pm)
The first half of this year’s NFL season has come to an end and not in the way that many had expected.

DeRozan’s efficiency takes league by storm
(11/14/16 10:04pm)
It’s popular to begin an article on the Toronto Raptors by saying they don’t get talked about a lot. As much as I would like to avoid what has become a cliché sentiment surrounding this team, the fact is, it’s true.

EDITORIAL: Pursue feasible solutions to the expense of menstrual products
(10/25/16 1:15am)
In 1972, Judy Chicago, an American feminist artist, conceived “Menstruation Bathroom” (1972), as a part of the Womanhouse Exhibition that highlighted the taboo of the menstrual period. The sculpture featured a trashcan filled with bloody, used tampons in a stark white room. The piece elicited strong reactions from male viewers and served as an alarming example of a menstrual period taboo ― one that still remains to this day. The discussion of periods remains limited, and products such as tampons and pads remain taxed in the majority of U.S. states while products such as Rogaine and potato chips are not, according to a April 20 Newsweek article. This perpetuates a level of economic equality for women.
