Who really decides the outcome of a ball game?

Comments Off 04 March 2010

Many people will not understand what kind of question this is.  They will mostly likely say the players on the court decide the game. This is not always the case.  Sure, in many cases they do, but don’t count out the fans and officials.

Take a moment to respect the meaning of the flag

Comments Off 17 September 2009

This past September 11th, I was presented with a unique opportunity. I was allowed to raise the same flag that flew on Clarion’s campus eight years prior.

Stop complaining and get up and do something

Comments Off 16 April 2009

Our View“There’s nothing to do in Clarion. This place is so boring.” How many times have you heard that during your college career? Countless times, undoubtedly.

It doesn’t matter: you don’t have a voice anyway

Comments Off 02 April 2009

Our View We, at The Call, call on Clarion University to re–evaluate the way professors are selected for hire. Many students across all areas of study can relate to sitting in a class with a less than enjoyable professor. Many times we have wondered, “How was this person ever considered a good choice for hire?” [...]

Hey Clarion, quit being so trashy

Comments Off 26 March 2009

Our View As the warm weather arrives this spring, students will begin spending more time outside. With the snow finally melted, we noticed a large amount of trash and rotten food all over campus.
