Some student leaders at Portland State are concerned that the decision declaring that OSPIRG is not a student group could affect other student groups, and was made without consulting any students.

Dear Mr. Anderson, I just want to make it clear right away-I am a fan. You’re back again with The Darjeeling Limited–a good film, I might add. Notice I said good. I’m sure it’s not a word you are used to hearing.

The second of three candidates vying for the position of vice-provost of Student Affairs held a lecture at Portland State Oct 10, speaking to students about issues on campus.

Halfway through the first game of Friday night’s volleyball match, Vikings middle blocker Erica Jepsen knew she was in for a big night. Jepsen had rattled off a couple of kills in a row, and she was starting to get that feeling, the one athletes get when skill, passion and preparation combine to create something special.

On an overcast Tuesday evening, Michael Creger maneuvers around four students clad in shiny silver suits that resemble costumes from a low-budget science fiction movie.

Angel and the Love Mongers have just a hint of the talent that made The Smiths and The Cure so great. For the most part, that tinge of talent should be understood as the same kind of misinterpreted artistry that has made modern bands like The Killers popular and famous.

Portland State professors received a one-year grant to study the carbon footprints of food delivery. Carbon footprints are a measure of greenhouse gases produced by human activity on the environment, measured in units of carbon dioxide.
