Every fall, Missouri Southern offers a theme semester, bringing the opportunity for students to learn about new regions or specific countries. To emphasize the Oceania semester, the Spiva Gallery is hosting a new exhibition about Papua New Guinea, called “Oceania Journey.” The artwork will b…
Kaylea has only been with the Chart for an entire school year, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t made an impact. In her short time with the program she has transformed the way I have thought about newspaper and made me a better person, designer, writer, and reporter. I don’t think I would hav…

We have all heard the phrase: “fake news.”
America’s Pastime is fading away, some may not even know what I’m talking about when I refer to it as that. American’s prefer to be entertained by men who abuse women instead, or lie about it, or even lie about their friends doing it.

To me, there is a clear winner when the “best sport to watch” debate begins. Sure, some will contest this for a number of reasons, and justifiably so. Good lord, if we all wanted to watch the same thing then the entire world would be enthralled with the table-tennislike action bounding back …

Is this really it? After 20 amazing years, Kobe Bryant will finally leave us basketball fans with one less legend to watch and cheer for. It is safe to say that as a child born in the mid 90s, he will be labeled as the greatest player of our generation. Kobe is a five time NBA World Champion…
Jordan Spieth could have made history last weekend; he could have been the first golfer to win the Masters in wire-to-wire fashion in consecutive years.
