Articles
The Shakespeare issue: a response from a literature student
Senior John Doman criticizes Kathleen van Schaijik's earlier article defending the theory that the Edward de Vere, XVIIth Earl of Oxford wrote Shakespeare. He finds her arguments (and Joseph Sobran's) weak and ignorant of context. He points out that in cases like these, the truth is more likely to lie with the experts than with amateurs.
Towards a humane economy: a reply to Thomas Storck
Senior Philip Harold, too, takes on Storck's explication of distributism, arguing that the root of the problem is in capitalist attitudes. Real changes will not come about unless the interior changes are first made. Merely political solutions are bound to end in failure
Liberal arts with professional training: the best of both worlds
'Rookie' professor of accounting, Thomas Kelly, whose father was one of the 'founding fathers' of FUS talks about how valuable professional training is when it is combined with a good liberal arts foundation. Professional training gives students the practical know-how they will need to put their ideas to paper and implement them in the workplace

Kathleen van Schaijik replies to the article by John Doman in this same issue.

(re)Distributism (re)Considered
Professors Zoric and Welker challenge Thomas Storck's critique of capitalism, pointing out how a capitalist economy has benefited humanity. They also criticize distributism as Storck describes it for being nothing other than socialism in disguise
