I asked over four dozen students around campus if they knew what the Clery Act is, and only four had any idea of what I was talking about. This is concerning considering it is a law that affects every single student at Mines. Originally enacted as an amendment to the Higher Education Act in 1990,…
I don’t have much of a good reason why, but I spent one afternoon riding eighteen elevators across campus. From my recorded experiences, I have compiled an abridged guide of Mines’ vertical transportation devices. Marquez: Like the rest of the building, this elevator flexes how much petroleum engineering is in it for the money. It…
In 2001, The Oredigger published an article emphasizing this hypothetical “Curse of Mines,” to which I scoffed at and read skeptically – as who was I to believe that my classmates and I were cursed? The author back then probably just had taken a rough heat transfer exam and wrote it out of spite. But,…
There is a simple joy to being able to honk whenever you please and cause chaos without any consequences. By now it’s likely that you’ve heard of “Untitled Goose Game”, an indie game released recently, which has spawned numerous popular memes. The game itself is fairly simple, you play as a ‘horrible goose’,…

In the words of our favorite Myth Buster, Adam Savage, whose beard bears a striking resemblance to a Pumpkin Spice Latte, “the only difference between screwing around and science is writing it down.” It’s that special time of year again! The oak leaves down in Kafadar have begun to turn shades of scarlet and gold,…
Campus power ranking will be a recurring section of rankings to determine which are the best and worst items or locations on campus. The staff of The Oredigger will visit each place to determine the rankings. For this issue, I will be ranking academic buildings around campus. In my opinion, a good academic building should…
Movie remakes don’t merely give classic tales a contemporary face-lift, the millennial audience is exploited for its desire for nostalgia while a whole new generation of moviegoers fails to experience the authentic audio-visual assemblage that is the original film. If you are in the camp that believes watching said originals from home is passé why…
After 22 years, one of the greatest underdogs in history has managed to win their first official league title. The team struggled in the final round of the intense competition, but their determination finally managed to carry them to victory. It was an emotional victory made more touching amidst rumors that the coach would be…
