The Calvin Knights football team has been undefeated since 1879. How is this spectacular feat possible? It has to do with the fact that Calvin does not actually have a football team. And I for one, believe it should stay that way. Despite the many sports fans at Calvin who crave one of America’s favorite past times, the school has yet to assemble a team. Both the Calvin board and others, including me, worry that creating a football team is not in the school’s best interest. The main reason…

Under the current bylaws of the NFL, no team can sell stock or public ownership in their franchise. Unless you are the Green Bay Packers. The Packers are the only team permitted to sell stock, because they were already selling stock before the NFL implemented the rule against it. This creates an enormous unfair advantage to the Packers over their competition in the NFL, and rule change needs to occur (Lariviere, 2011).

I have travelled near and far, and to places in between but the best journey of all is the one that I took with HH. What a bold character he was, a beautiful musician. My journey began shortly after his but mine lasted much longer. In fact, I am still travelling. Oh how magical it all has been and how empowered I feel now. HH and I belonged to the same organization, well known as The League. I am still a part of it, HH is not due to his struggles with confidentiality and integrity. But enough of…

Wilson had a difficult decision to make regarding the future of the United States. Though some disagree with his policies, he had successes and failures just like all the other presidents. However, his presidency as a whole can be analyzed based on how he performed during a war. Woodrow Wilson faced a new challenge in office, a world at war and his successes and failures during this hostile time have impacted the United States. Woodrow Wilson was born on December 29, 1856 in Staunton, Virginia…

and the Royal Irish Constabulary. Throughout 1920 and into 1921 guerrilla warfare went on without much pause for two years.
