  Like waves, nothing ever departs from its source

  By Stevenson Valentor Chameleon Staff Writer   Speaking is the vocal manifestation of ideas and feelings old and new.   Many of our ideas remain unspoken, though we may express them wordlessly through emotion or facial expression.   Emotions and facial cues are just subtle expressions that words could have communicated.   But when words are spoken, they may sit around in the air, around in the listeners’ own thoughts.   White caps are the manifestations we know as waves in the water; they come from the wind blowing water to the point where the water curls over itself.   Not more »

That’s what I call multitasking.   Sustainable brand Greenola offers shoppers a way to shop for conscious apparel and accessories while making a difference in peoples’ more »

  To the student: you’re here to live

  By Stevenson Valentor Chameleon Staff Writer   I did not do it as the professor pleased.   She asked for four to five peer-reviewed sources on this paper, and I have one.   My paper is a great analysis, though; as it’s much better thought out than the Frankenstein papers I usually write.   But I didn’t follow her guidelines. I didn’t do what she asked.   And so my grade will suffer, just like she said.   I clearly didn’t allot myself enough time.   I should have been in the writing center way earlier than three days before more »

Gun violence a product of multiple causes

By Lauren Cutshall Chameleon Staff Writer   On February 13, students and community members gathered at Loyola to talk about gun violence, an issue we have been reminded of with each shooting since the infamous Columbine shooting of 1999.   Most recently, memories have resurfaced as the Newtown, Connecticut school shooting killed 20 children and seven adults, prompting each subsequent shooting to gain even more media attention.   While the press and civilians wonder, “Is this the worst and most devastating shooting?”, Dr. James Garbarino, a Loyola professor, explained why this is not a question we want to ask.   more »

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR: Five hundred, twenty five thousand, six hundred minutes

-STAFF REPORT-   This weekend, the LUChameleon celebrates its one year anniversary.   It’s been a whirlwind year for us.   We published our very first issue last November. We started this publication because we wanted to give a voice to the alternative students on campus.   We wanted to provide another student media opportunity on campus, as well as “talk about things that aren’t usually talked about publicly” on campus.   We started out with the half the number of staff members that we have now, with no resources whatsoever, and we started out as an online only magazine more »
