Human Trafficking

The Saint Leo Colony of Sigma Lambda Gamma National Sorority, Incorporated will be hosting their very first Human Trafficking Educational, which is a campus wide event that will bring awareness to this hidden crime that is happening around us every day “I’m Not For Sale”: Human Trafficking Educational was hosted with The SLU International Justice Mission. Human Trafficking Awareness is one of the sorority’s colony philanthropies. The sorority’s focus was to educate their peers on the facts and statistics on this form of “modern day slavery”. Most people think human trafficking does not exist and that it is not a problem but hundreds to thousands of women, boys and girls are being trafficked this very second.

The Chemistry Behind Love and Attraction

Love is a subject that has fascinated people for ages and gives pop culture the juice it needs to keep the public interested: a children’s movie depicting a princess falling for a prince she’d met just five minutes prior, a generic romantic comedy involving a standard meet cute, and the sixth wedding of a reality TV celebrity are all cultural events that make members of the public enamored with the idea of love. Even in the private sphere, the idea of love has its hold on people on a daily basis. Whether it involves daydreaming about frolicking in the meadows with a coworker, having the occasional evening away from the children with a spouse, or simply admiring an attractive person in a bar, love, lust and attraction are standards of human behavior. Many have come up with explanations for the existence of love over the years, which can range anywhere from “it was destiny” to “this person seemed to be agreeable”; however, many do not consider the physiological reasons for which people fall for one another. Actually, the initial reasons for attraction have nothing to do with finding “soul mates” at all. In reality, they are nothing more than the subconscious attempting to fulfill the biological urge to reproduce. Romantic, isn’t it?

End of era for the iPod

Apple has dominated the technology market, with their products such as the iPhone, MacBook and iPad continuously being publicized and not to mention their sleek designs; it is no wonder people can’t get enough. It is virtually impossible to be somewhere and not find someone in possession of an Apple product. Even on campus, a wide array of students can be seen at the Lion’s Lair or the Library tyoing away on their Macs, or casually socializing on their iPads or iPhones. But with all this emphasis, on the newer products, it is fair to say that no one has noticed the decreasing popularity of one of the products, which quintessentially defines Apple, the iPod.
