Learning from different cultures and exploring a new world has always sparked my interest, it started out when I was a kid and had the opportunity to experience a family trip to Greece. The people living there are not surprisingly different, and their culture and stories have so much to offer, and intrigued my interest [...]

“Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don’t forget your booties ’cause it’s cooooold out there today!” La Niña is really overstaying her welcome.

Mitt Romney has won the Florida Republican primary by a handy margin, after spending $17 million on an all-out blitzkrieg of negative ads against his main opponent, bloated gasbag and serial adulterer Newt Gingrich. Even though there are still 46 primaries to go, the conventional wisdom is that Romney has pretty much clinched the nomination [...]

All right, so it has been a couple weeks since you last heard from me. Let’s be honest, most of you were probably relieved with the absence. Who wants long-winded analyses of politics anyway? This isn’t class. Plus, God knows I have a penchant for talking or in this case, writing, too much. So I [...]

It’s the final stretch of the semester. Fresh off of a nice, but short, Thanksgiving break, the amount of work that needs to be completed before the end of the semester seems impossible to complete. For the freshmen out there, yes it does seem like all of your teachers plotted against you to give you [...]

Niko is about 4 1/2 months old and has every quality a kitten should have…and them some. After summer had passed and it was [...]

“You want class war? We’ll give you what you ask for!” was just one of the many chants that were thunderously echoed through the streets of Pittsburgh this past Saturday, October 15. Occupy Pittsburgh, an offshoot of the ever-growing Occupy Wall Street protests that have been occurring since September 17, began its march for change, [...]

Dear Bacon: Do you actually learn anything in Amsterdam or is it all about weed and women? -Sincerely Average Joe. Well Average Joe, surprisingly there is actually a lot to be learned from Dutch courses. I was a bit skeptical at first when my course schedule had the potential to include: The History of Prostitution, [...]

This week’s column will be a little different. There are some issues on my mind that I feel like sharing this week that I feel many of the readers can relate to. This week I would like to share my frustrations with being an involved student. Now, when I say involved, I mean a student [...]

With this special Autumn Leaf Festival edition of the Clarion Call, it would only be right to talk about what I did to kick-off the fall season since I couldn’t attend ALF this year. This year will mark my last ALF as a Clarion University student. With that sad thought, I decided to experience the [...]

While there seem to be many trendy things in the city of Amsterdam, the first thing to cross your mind probably wouldn’t be setting bikes on fire. It couldn’t have been later than 3:30 a.m. a couple nights ago when there was an extreme amount of popping, crackling and banging. In a daze I woke [...]
