On display at Zarrow these days is a small artform usually never seen as more than a clipping from a newspaper.

However, the Oklahoma Center for the Humanities had […]

A spooky tour of Oklahoma’s haunted sites
Over spring break, two of my friends and I embarked on a haunted tour of Oklahoma. Our journey took us all over the state, from Norman to Lawton to Bartlesville, and involved stops at many spooky sites, and also some not so spooky sites. We spent our first night in Duncan at the Tucker Cemetery. […]
TU Ten: College Anxiety
10. Late work. It’s already past the deadline, and you know you have to turn it in, but you just don’t have the time! 9. Skipped classes. It feels so good to sleep late, but you def need to get up in time for that 8:00. 8. Ghosts. The vengeful ghosts of the prospectors that […]
Vote Void for President
This coming year will be my first chance to vote in a presidential election and I’ve been paying furious attention to all of the candidates. Ultimately my vote was secured from the beginning. I’m going to vote for the darkest darkness, the unthinkable nothingness. I’m voting for the Void, and so should you. Are you […]
“Last Man on the Moon:” a tired retelling of an otherwise inspiring tale
“The Last Man on the Moon” documents the impressive life of Eugene Cernan, one of only a dozen men to ever make a lunar landing. The film is aware of the audience’s probable ignorance regarding Cernan’s accomplishments, not unlike comedian Norm Macdonald, who in a commentary on the Kardashians’ fame couldn’t help but voice his […]

“What Is It” disturbs for the sake of disturbing
Crispin Glover’s experimental “What Is It?” will probably be the strangest film I ever see. Ten minutes into this fever dream of a movie, I realized the film had some sort of a plot. I believe it was about a boy trying to return a snail to a room he had accidentally locked himself out […]

Men’s basketball proves themselves at March Madness
After a tough loss to Memphis in their opening game of the American Athletic Conference Tournament, where they lost by 22 points, most people counted the Golden Hurricane out as far as making March Madness; in fact, as much as it pains me to say, I was one of those people. However, on selection Sunday, […]
