The Pacer wishes students a happy Thanksgiving
Halloween has come and gone, leaving only stomachaches, embarrassing costume photos and lackluster attendance for next day classes in its wake. Veterans Day is also behind us, and soldiers and students both have the pleasure and relief of knowing that UTM’s ROTC program is no longer scheduled for a 2015 closure. You know what that… Continue reading The Pacer wishes students a happy Thanksgiving
The Pacer wishes readers a happy Veterans Day
Last month, UTM took a major hit when we learned that we would be losing our branch of the Army’s ROTC program. Needless to say, faculty, students and Martin residents just aren’t having it. UTM isn’t giving up the ROTC without a fight, which speaks volumes for how we in the city of Martin feel… Continue reading The Pacer wishes readers a happy Veterans Day
The Pacer wishes students a happy Halloween
Halloween is almost one week away, and if you’re an American you either love it or hate it. For the sake of saving time, let’s assume that we are talking to those who love it, because we have nothing prepared for the folks who don’t. Halloween is a somewhat complex holiday, as it is a… Continue reading The Pacer wishes students a happy Halloween
Government shutdown is a learning experience
With so many social debates like gay marriage and legalization of marijuana gathering the usual amount of controversy and attention, we tend to forget that these issues are ultimately the decision of our government. Apparently, with issues like Syria, pot and civil rights keeping the government’s hands full, the government has finally become fed up… Continue reading Government shutdown is a learning experience
The Pacer asks readers about foreign language
On the UTM campus, we have foreign language programs from all over Europe … and Japan. But despite the diversity of the language programs at UTM, they all have one thing in common: UTM students either love them or hate them. Naturally, those who love language classes will look for any reason at all to… Continue reading The Pacer asks readers about foreign language
The Pacer encourages cultural understanding
With how often the U.S. insists on being involved with international affairs, it is no surprise that the image the world has of us is hard to pin down. Are we among the best educated in the world, or the worst? Are we the most open-minded thinkers, or the least? Unfortunately, the answer is probably… Continue reading The Pacer encourages cultural understanding
The Pacer changes look for the new year
The Pacer has made some changes this year. First, we have changed the size and look of our bi-weekly print edition. In doing this, we hope to give you a more compact publication that you can hold easier, yet a publication that still has all the information you want and need. We have also changed… Continue reading The Pacer changes look for the new year
Senior farewell: Jasmine Brooks
Martin has been my home for the last four years of my life and it hurts me so much to have to leave. Martin is the place where I fell in love, met my best friend, got my heart broken, made more great friends, gained lifetime sisters, created my own lane and most importantly, I… Continue reading Senior farewell: Jasmine Brooks
Senior farewell: Kristen Harrelson
When I walked on the campus of UTM as a freshman, it wasn’t the first time. I have lived in Martin my entire life and grown up on this campus. My dad graduated from UTM in 2005 so it was a no-contest situation for me. Plus I could live at home and not worry about… Continue reading Senior farewell: Kristen Harrelson
