[Insert Earthquake Joke]: Words of Wisdom from Aftershock Festival 2016

BY DYLYN PETERSON Staff Writer, UAS Whalesong Aftershock Festival is an annual weekend metal concert in Sacramento, California. Previous years haven’t been as impressive as this one, with such bands as Tool, Korn, Disturbed, and Avenged Sevenfold. I flew out on the night of the 21st, and begrudgingly missed several days of my Spanish class.…

Listening to Shiver Twins

I feel like Shiver Twins grew on me as I listened to their music and learned more about the band, like how they came up with their name!

As of Dec. 18, 2019, President Donald J. Trump has become the third United States president to be impeached by the House of Representatives. So far, the process is only halfway through. Similar to other processes in the U.S. government, impeachment is a matter of checks and balances. First, the House of Representatives holds a formal inquiry to determine if there are grounds for impeachment. Next, the House judiciary committee can draft and approve said articles of impeachment. Then, these articles are sent back to the House of Representatives to be voted on. This determines whether or not the president is impeached. However, the process does not end here. The Senate acts as a courtroom in which the president is held accountable. A two-thirds majority is necessary to penalize the president, and that penalty could (but likely will not) be his ejection from office, according to the New York Times. Impeachment is not necessarily a precursor to removal from office. While Trump could effectively be removed from office, following this he would be replaced by Vice President Mike Pence. If the two-thirds vote is not upheld by the Senate, Trump will remain in office and join the history books alongside Presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton; the two other presidents that were impeached but not convicted by the Senate. 📸 by Baylee Schneider

Today at the UAS Recreation Center, Wooch.een hosted a series of traditional games. UAS student and coach-in-training, Lilli Bannerman, officiated the Alaskan High Kick event. “You have a ball hanging above you from a post. The player sits below it with one hand behind their back they hold one foot, not the ankle but the foot, on any point either side -or the toe- and then they kick with their opposite foot. When they land they have to keep that foot in the air and their butt cannot touch the floor,” Bannerman said. Photo 1: NYO athlete participated in Alaskan High Kick.

💥 SOCIAL MEDIA EXCLUSIVE 💥 Student Andrew Madsen is on campus every Monday between 9 and 11 a.m. giving out coffee, a breakfast snack and asking a question of the week. "I'm out here every monday morning. If I'm not outside of Mourant, then I'm probably by the bus stop [outside of Egan]," Madsen said. Madsen is a Junior in the Elementary Education program at UAS. Most of his classes are online this semester but still wanted to find a way to interact with the UAS community in person.
