Summer 2013 will mark the fourth offering of the web-based course, entitled “Communications in Science.â€?

6MOI\Q^M QUXIK\ WN ?;= KWVNM[[QWV[ Chelsea Hall Editor In Chief hall.250@wright.edu There has been a lot of talk about the WSU Crushes and WSU Confessions Twitter handles lately. Fortunately for Wright State, the WSU Confessions Twitter has been suspended, but @WRIGHT_ CRUSHES is still available for you viewing pleasure. Personally, as entertaining as WSU Confessions was, its demise is easily understood and also very fortunate for WSU. For those of you who did not have a chance to see some of the tweets from the account, they were a little horrendous. Some told of their “threesome” experiences with RAs, while others shared their sexual

escapades in each building on campus, and one person even shared that they urinated in their roommate’s shampoo bottle! The behavior shared on WSU Confessions is behavior that can be seen at all college campuses, but associating WSU with these behaviors can negatively impact the university and its reputation. At one point a confession was posted saying that the confessions on the account was making them reconsider going to the university. Ouch! I am all for good fun and entertainment (and believe me it was entertaining), but when a Twitter account affects or could possibly affect our university maybe we as students should rethink our actions and not share them to the world.

Tell the person you like them, regardless of your gender, and ask the one you like out on a date. Do something to try and get to know them better. I guarantee when you look back at your life twenty years from now, you won’t regret the things you did. You’ll regret the things you didn’t do. What do you really have to lose? Who cares if they say they don’t like you back;; take the loss gracefully and build upon it step by step. Use it to @wsuguardian

your advantage. In the end, the elation of someone you like liking you back is worth a thousand rejections. Who cares if you fail? Each failure brings you closer to knowing what succeeds. Each failure brings you closer to knowing who’s right to go after and who isn’t. Each failure makes you stronger, wiser, and closer to knowing who you really are as a person. Believe me, it’s always painful to see the person you like take their affections to another. I get that, I really do. Believe me too when I say I’ve failed many times as well. The difference? I wouldn’t trade those experiences for anything. @WRIGHT_CRUSHES, our

It’s hilarious, fun-loving, hardly intimate, and ridiculous in all the right ways. It’s also completely anonymous.

OSGA headed by WSU student

Student Government Submission The Ohio Student Government Association — one of the nation’s largest intercollegiate student

government associations — will once again be headed by a Wright State student. The organization elected Spencer Brannon, Wright State Student Government Chief of Staff, as its top executive at its semiannual conference at the Ohio Board of Regents on April 5. His election marks the fourth time in eight years, according to elections records, that a Raider has been tapped as chairman. Brannon, a junior political science and economics student, will succeed Jonas Kiessling, also a Raider, as chairman for the upcoming year. Kiessling, who is president of the College of Liberal Arts Dean’s Student Advisory Board and previously served as the organization’s Executive Director, will graduate in April.
