Reality Check: Ageism and Issues with the Old
Kristoffer Martin
Undergraduate/English
“I’m stuck in my ways, and I like it that way.” “I’m the older wiser person, and you should just accept what I say as true.” “You should be seen and not heard.” “You are a know nothing child who has been taught wrong by the liberal college you’re attending.” “You’re blind to the truth and it is my right as your grandmother to show you the right path.” All of these are direct quotes from my grandmother, and they aren’t even the harshest ones that I have in my email.

There is constant debate about whether sending more troops is a good idea or not and what those troops should be doing while in Afghanistan, as well as the calls for our soldiers to be brought back home.
Chronicles of a Metalhead: Year End Recap (Part 1 of 3)
Paydon Miller
Undergraduate/Political Science and Print Journalism
Well, it’s that time of year again, Flip Side readers. For those of you who remember my metal column last year (and the even fewer of you who read it), you will also remember I retired it in favor of writing about my second love: politics.
Well, I’ve decided to revive the “Chronicles of a Metalhead” name for three articles, so I can take a look back on the past year of metal and try to recap it in a total of 4,500 words.
