NWC student concerned about controversial list

By Jess Ayres — Nov 17, 2011

As I walked into Colter Hall on Monday night, a sheet of paper on the door caught my eye. It was a list that had 10 girls’ names on it. After I looked closer, I realized it was a list of the “Hottest Hotties” at Northwest College. At first I thought to myself, this is just an innocent list, but as I thought about it more in depth, I realized how truly degrading the list was. The list is not only degrading to all of the females at NWC not on the list by saying you are not “hot” enough, but more importantly, it objectifies every single young woman on the list by saying “you’re hot, who cares about anything else.”

Professor responds to atheist’s column

By Dr. Bruce Watne — Oct 6, 2011

I disagree with Deborah Cobb’s editorial in the Northwest Trail on Sept. 15, 2011 (note from editor: Column was titled:“Atheist columnist takes aim at visiting speaker who supports creationism.”) I’d like to examine the problem of origins from a different perspective—with a different worldview. Her underlying assumption is that God does not exist, but consider the evidence.

Professor unhappy with lack of Coke, vending machine snacks, milkshakes

When it really gets down to it, Northwest College is pretty mediocre, and when I say “mediocre,” I’m not saying it so much in a negative light, I’m just saying this school is, for the most part, middle-of-the-road. Of course, in a society that considers the grade of “C” to be a slap in the face, I can understand if some feel that I’m slapping the college in the face by saying it is mediocre when it comes to junior colleges.

Student questions committee’s new editor selections

By Daniel Wilkerson — May 4, 2011

Dear editors,

My name is Daniel Wilkerson. I have been a student at Northwest College for the past year and a half. During this time, the Trail has been one of my greatest pleasures during the week. The arrival of the paper in my hall [every] Wednesday marked an event followed by studious reading, attempting to get in touch with what was happening on campus.
