Without divulging any current beliefs, I was raised a Lutheran in the small town of Waterford, Pa. (about 30 minutes away from campus). It’s safe to say I did not grow up with a strong sense of other cultures, be they foreign or simply of a different religious background. However, this did not lead to […]
It’s cliché to start an article with a phrase like, “It’s that time of year again…” In this scenario, however, I’m afraid it is that time of year again. Now, this is nothing meant to detriment the scheduling process. I completely understand that there are certain priorities put in place to assure that everyone is […]
The Elite Eight are coming to Gannon, and it’s sort of a big deal. The Division II NCAA event will be held at the Erie Insurance Arena, and our university is proud to be hosting the event. Take things back to last summer, however, and software engineering Professor Steve Frezza, Ph.D., was just getting started […]
This past week, two very important things happened regarding SGA elections. First, the SGA debate was held in Waldron, covered via live stream by Edge Magazine, the Gannon Knight and our own campus station, 90.5 WERG. Secondly, the Gannon Knight released their SGA election issue, providing an interview with each presidential candidate as well as […]
Punk rock isn’t stupid. That’s not to say it can’t be, but as a whole, I swear that it’s not. Then again, what some people would probably call stupidity, I would call dedication. This is how I ended up at the Agora Theater in Cleveland, Ohio, with a near 100-degree fever. My buddy CJ picked […]
Ask anyone involved in the arts in some way, shape or form about the importance of local arts and entertainment, and they will speak until they’re blue in the face. Fortunately, that is not what I’m here to do. Rather, I’d like to showcase some of Erie’s less well-known attractions and best-kept secrets for your […]
With Fringe Fest Erie 2014 just on the horizon, we thought it important to introduce Gannon students and prospective readers alike to some of the fantastic featured performances taking place throughout March. This being the case, I’ve decided to take a look at a show I feel […]
I knew this was coming; it was bound to happen. After two years of writing, the moment I had been waiting for finally occurred. Someone verbally confronted me about something I wrote. Now, I know what you’re thinking, and yes, the above part was partially a half-joke. First of all, it was not nearly as […]
The Hotelier – Home, Like Noplace is There 5/5 This record came to me by surprise through an email from a record label advertising a band I’d listened to maybe once, and only recently recognized as an artist to keep my eye on. As I nonchalantly pressed play, expecting just a mystery background soundtrack […]
I should preface this by saying one thing: I am not a sports fan. It’s not because I’m not good at them, or because I hate competition; I’ve sincerely just never gained as much enjoyment from sports as I did music, nor understood the nearly-religious radiance it casts on some people. I certainly have fun […]
