Sympathy, Maddy Schow Jan 2023

Sympathy, Maddy Schow

Inscape

Anise’s favorite poisonous plants were delphinium, oleander, and lily of the valley. Especially lily of the valley, which she’d wanted in her wedding bouquet even before she knew the flowers could put a man into cardiac arrest. After she learned that tidbit, it had sounded even more appropriate for a wedding. A flower that could literally make your heart skip a beat? Not to mention the wicked play on “till death do you part.” She didn’t tell anyone about this joke after it had gone over poorly with her sister, who had always been, Anise thought, a little too sensitive …

Burning Barns, Steven Fromm

Even before Hall settled into his chair he looked out his window and saw that Mary Tyler Moore’s office was dark. He called me in. I didn’t feel any honor in that. I was just about the only one left.


Slaughtered, Lucas Zuehl Jan 2023

Slaughtered, Lucas Zuehl

Inscape

It’s August, and I am thinking of old friends. I count the house numbers, my shoulders sweating under the guitar case strapped to my back. Even in this Minnesotan neighborhood, which tries very hard to be an antithesis of the South, the wet air steers my thoughts to Nashville.


A Real Classic, Cosenza Hendrickson Jan 2023

A Real Classic, Cosenza Hendrickson

Inscape

Something happened when he recommended Anna Karenina. They were sitting on her grandmother’s rickety porch swing one evening in May. Fields of corn and alfalfa stretched out before them in the gold light like a frayed heirloom quilt. She was leaning her head back, waaaay back craning it till it hurt—because she was trying to watch a little spider who was fastening its nylon web to the board-and-baton behind the swing.


Intersections, Bethany Jarmul Jan 2023

Intersections, Bethany Jarmul

Inscape

A place within my memory, an intersection. A minivan full of dreams, desires. Frozen by red light. Knock, knock, knock-ity, knock. The sky cracked, hail shards cackling against metal and pavement. I’m a passenger, a child strapped in the back, ignorant of destination or direction.

Your Existence Is Impolite, Clarissa Walker

have an extra tear duct. You can see the little hole in my face, like a pin prick, just below its working counterpart. Every time I show someone they ask if it works. I feel a little reluctant to tell them, “No. It doesn’t work.” I don’t know if it ever has. I believe it never did, but I know it doesn’t work now. They say “huh,” as if my extra nonfunctioning body part has just disappointed them. I don’t like to dwell on that.

The Dual Role Of The Campus Police Officer At Public Institutions Of Higher Education, Anne Walther Jan 2023

The Dual Role Of The Campus Police Officer At Public Institutions Of Higher Education, Anne Walther

BYU Education & Law Journal

The role of campus police officers at public institutions of higher education is multifaceted and not so clearly defined. Campus police officers are there to enforce the law, protect the students, and ensure campus safety. However, these officers also have to manage the responsibilities and privileges that come with holding the dual role as both a law enforcement officer and a school official. For example, while police officers at these institutions carry out many traditional police functions such as investigating criminal offenses, making arrests, and enforcing the law; they often also have additional responsibilities that fall outside of those typical …

Judicial Murder: The Witch-Craze In Germany And Switzerland, Albert Winkler Jan 2023

Judicial Murder: The Witch-Craze In Germany And Switzerland, Albert Winkler

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Among the most remarkable and puzzling social, religious and legal movements of the late Middle Ages and Early Modern periods of European history were the witch-hunts. Historians have often disagreed on the exact time frame of the witch-craze, but these actions largely spanned three centuries roughly from 1450 to 1750, most of which took place from 1500 to 1650. Some estimates on the number of people accused of witchcraft and those executed for the supposed crime reach into the hundreds of thousands. Professor Nachman Ben-Yahuda has stated, “From the early decades of the fourteenth century until 1650, continental Europeans executed …


The Origins Of Democracy In Switzerland, Thomas Quinn Marabello Jan 2023

The Origins Of Democracy In Switzerland, Thomas Quinn Marabello

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Switzerland is one of the world’s oldest continuous democracies. Since the Middle Ages, Swiss cantons engaged in democracy at the local level, which led to the Federal Charter of 1291. This important document laid the foundations for the Swiss Confederacy, an alliance of cantons that eventually became a unified democratic nation in the heart of Europe. For over seven centuries, Swiss democracy has impacted people and institutions in Switzerland and elsewhere. America’s founders were well versed in Swiss political institutions and borrowed from them when creating the Constitution of the United States. As democracies come under attack and see their …

Pilgrimage To A Common Shrine, Katie Ashton Jan 2023

Pilgrimage To A Common Shrine, Katie Ashton

AWE (A Woman’s Experience)

Little Women follows four sisters as they find their individual roles in society and their castles in the air. The children's story shows the rise of feminism through transcendentalism philosophy, shown by each daughter's work through their Pilgrim's Progress to perfect themselves, and to be a future benefit to their society. Their continual self-improvement remolds the transcendentalist philosophy to not only include women, but to confront and reform the ails of a society, whereas Emersonian transcendentalism limits itself to secluding to one's own provincial, albeit perceptive, thought. It is a change much needed in an era following the Civil War, …

Bodies Of Women And Water, Emma Taylor

AWE (A Woman’s Experience)

Some of the most powerful voices come from the throats of those who are silenced. Art is a way for those without power to wordlessly scream and demand a change. Whether it be through a paintbrush, clay, or the performance of the body, art becomes most powerful when informed by those advocating for justice.
