Just reach out one hand, pull, and step through. Sometimes those little things called locks get in the way, but that’s only a problem for burglars and…

    Parker Burman- Over Spring Break, the Gustavus Women’s Tennis team traveled to Fredericksburg, Virginia for several showdowns against nationally ranked opponents. Unfortunately, the trip did not produce the fruits of success that the Gusties had hoped for as they came home from their trip winless in their four matches. The Gusties started their week in…

Ron Hubbard describes his pseudo-scientific text as an adventure that will change the reader. This is true. I was changed by this book. However, this adventure and subsequent change was not like Around The World…
