Senior Night: KU vs. Texas

Posted by Brenna Malmberg

Last weekend, I made it back to the best place to watch college basketball: Allen Fieldhouse. This time, I brought two Nebraska alumni along to witness the awesomeness that is Allen Fieldhouse. Needless to say, they both walked away with an appreciation for Allen Fieldhouse and those crazy Jayhawk fans. Whether they were swayed to the good side, I am not sure.

Luckily for me and them, I still know some Jayhawks, so we had decent seats compared to where our seats really were, the shadowed area in the corner where people sit the whole game. Lame. . . .

Worldly Wednesday: Lord's Resistance Army Goes Viral

Posted by Brenna Malmberg

Videos and images go viral on the Internet every day. Most generate laughs and talk for a few days. Today's video making Joseph Kony famous whirled about the Internet via Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other such sharing sites, generating buzz for Invisible Children's initiative to end the Lord's Resistance Army in Uganda.

Most people pasted the message and video on, noting how sad the situation is and how we need to do something. Like the tweet above, most people were startled to hear about the children being abducted, the women being raped and their leader Kony pushing on regardless of opposition. Kony is leading children to these heinous acts. . . .
