BY CATHERINE HARTNEY “So you’re a Theology Major? What are you going to do with that?” If I had a dollar for every time I received that question during my four years at AMU, I might be rich. There were many days when I was even asking myself those same questions. What can one do with a Theology degree in the 21st century? I have come to know that the best answer I can give to others is:...

Read MoreHungry for Advice?
BY MARY HARDY What do you do if you want to make Chicken Marbella, Beef Tacos, Salmon En Croute, or a rich chocolate cake? Do you scrounge through your mother’s recipe books? Do you type the recipe name into Google and compare the first few recipes until you find one for which you have most of the ingredients? Do you solicit a family friend who has the best recipe for chocolate cake? When it comes to...

Read MoreZombie TV: An Easter Pastime (Spoiler Alert)
BY MERCEDEZ GONZALES After having written my junior poet paper, taken Dr. McCullough’s novel class, and read Tacitus’ Annales, I was ready for a serious intellectual break the summer after my junior year. In true college-bum fashion, I arrived home, sat in the living room with my mom, and searched Netflix. What transpired from this brain exhaustion has become my new obsession: The Walking Dead.

Read MoreSome Thoughts on Reason, Paradox, and Art (Part II)
BY SARAH PAKALUK Revisiting the question: Why do Anselm’s arguments fail to persuade? Perhaps it is not really the case that “reason is that which is highest in man” (I leave you to trace this line of thinking throughout the works of Aristotle and Aquinas, among others).

Read MorePhilosophy Club at AMU
BY CHARLES CARLISI Peter Atkinson leans languidly against the corner of my makeshift office, a solitary cubicle in a desolate corner of the Canizaro Library. You can tell he is barely able to keep his voice under the “library appropriate” decibel level as we converse about his beloved philosophy club. Peter, although not the original founder, is its enthusiastic president. His interest in philosophy...

Read MoreCapeman II: Papal Statue Not Improved
BY CORNELIUS SULLIVAN ROME – It is such a sad debacle, the original errors of conception and execution in the first version have been compounded and increased. And it is sad that the sculptor was bullied into making something more absurd and wrong than the first attempt. In my article of June 30, 2011, in The Italian Insider, Rome, I said, “Pope John Paul II was seen and recognized by more...

Read MoreSome Thoughts on Reason, Paradox, and Art (Part I)
BY SARAH PAKALUK Why do Anselm’s arguments fail to persuade the modern reader? “Furthermore, not only is it the case that all things are good, all great things great, through one and the same thing, but also it would seem to be the case that whatever is, is through one thing. For everything that exists, exists either through something or through nothing. But nothing exists through nothing. For it...

Read MoreCooking as Science: One Chef’s Culinary Perspective
BY MARY HARDY What good, you might ask, can come from Massachusetts? Whether you’re a jaded home cook who revolves around the same two or three dishes or an inspired chef searching for the perfect recipe for lasagna, there’s one resource you can’t be without. If you do not already know about America’s Test Kitchen magazine Cook’s Illustrated or their series of cookbooks, you are in for a...
