November, the month of remembrance

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 05:00:00 GMT

Every time Catholics recite the Apostles' Creed, following a confession of "I believe in the holy Catholic Church," they declare "the communion of saints." The phrase must be relatively important if it surfaces in the Church's statement of belief, right? As a matter of fact, the term "communion of saints" is a major constituent in the Christian faith,?so much so that it is worth mentioning, as a continuing reminder, not only for the month of November, but as a stepping stone as the Church transitions into the next liturgical year beginning next Sunday.

Retreat Recap

Take a trip to the beautiful Trinity Mountain Ranch Retreat House in Golden Gate State Park, about 30 miles northwest of Denver. Once you are there, imagine a mansion in the heart of the mountains where iconic religious statues juxtaposed by eerie clowns, Porsche advertisements from the eighties that hang next to landscapes of colossal mountains, and a ridiculous amount of enormous mirrors hanging in close proximity to an equally ridiculous amount of off-colored grandfather clocks.

Truth in advertising? Pro-Life ad in Highlander questionable

Mon, 24 Nov 2008 05:00:00 GMT

Outside of the university, advertising can sell and say whatever it wants in any way it deems appropriate, within the confines of the law. However, I believe there ought to be higher standards for on-campus advertising, especially in this newspaper and on the website.

The Berkeley Native

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 04:00:00 GMT

Many of our neighbors have lived their entire lives in the Berkeley neighborhood. They have seen the development and change of the area, living and raising their families in a neighborhood they have come to call their own. This urban area was once a small town with little to no development. Now it is not only a diverse neighborhood, but one with plenty of Denver history. Everything and everyone here has a story. If we only take the time to listen, and really see the neighborhood, we can learn that there is definitely more than meets the eye. After all, we cannot simply judge an area, or the people who live there, by just looking quickly. Living as we ought implies an active participation in the world. We need to ask about the history of the place in which we live in order to know how to live there as equal members of a community.

These stories, told from some of the neighborhood's first members, focus on the area west of Lowell between 50th and 52nd Avenues, the area near Regis Place, Willis Case Golf Course, and El Jabel Shrine. These stories were written as part of the In-Depth Reporting and Writing course. As examples of narrative and explanatory journalism, these articles purposefully use first names throughout, in order to create a sense of neighborly connection.
