‘Wait, I have to write my own headline?’

Dec 4, 2024 | advancetitan.com | Claudia Zeamer |Kelly Hueckman

Like every other piece I’ve published, I’ve put off writing this until the eleventh hour. However, this time my delay wasn’t a product of procrastination — it was a product of the bittersweet realization that this is the final issue of the Advance-Titan I will have helped create. My 3.5-year-long journey with the A-T began when I was a timid freshman in 2021. I walked into my first story meeting late because I couldn’t find the sacred (or cursed?) office in the deep, dark depths of Reeve.
The Advance-Titan

One corner of Avery Feathers’ office holds a typical array of work supplies. At her desk, she has a swivel chair perched in front of her computer, pens strewn around. It’s a small, cozy room, but the other three corners hold stacked PVC shelves that resemble a mini-drug store. Each shelf, five layers high, held rows of various brands of laundry detergent, giant blocks of toilet paper and lines of Dove body wash bottles.

Although UW Oshkosh is facing pushback from current and former University Books & More employees about a proposal to outsource bookstore employees, Chancellor Andrew Leavitt is determined to make changes to the business model of the store.

During an election results watch party, more than 60 UW Oshkosh students and faculty members gathered in Titan Underground for wall-to-wall return coverage as ballots were counted Nov. 5. For many students, this was their first time participating in a presidential election. Now, they just want it to be over.

Americans are waiting with bated breath as the 2024 presidential election looms closer and closer. We are about to witness history being made. In the 2020 presidential election, there was record high turnout at the poles and Biden’s success was attributed to Gen Z. We need to keep that energy going to get Vice President Kamala Harris elected on Tuesday. However, the crisis in Gaza is turning many young voters away from the poles. If you are one of those people, I implore you to hear me out.
Mourning childhood celebrities

Less than an hour before media outlets reported that former One Direction star Liam Payne died, I was joking with a friend about how every Gen Z girl remembers where they were when Zayn Malik left the boy band. Now, I have a feeling that I’ll always remember the bend on the sidewalk I stood on as I quickly sent screenshots about Payne’s passing to pretty much everyone in my phone. As far as One Direction fans go, I was pretty tame.
How our algorithms divide us

America’s political landscape has become increasingly divisive, especially in recent years as a result of our social media and search engine algorithms. We haven’t been this divided as a country since the 1850s, and while it certainly isn’t as bad as it was in the 19th century, the divisiveness we are experiencing today is still problematic and scary. Less than a century ago, our political landscape looked much different.

UW Oshkosh saw an increase in burglary, drug-related arrests and other offenses compared to last year, according to the annual Clery Report published by the UWO Police Department Sept. 30. “Campuses across the country have safety issues,” UWO Police Chief Tarmann said.
Package system nightmare

Sep 19, 2024 | advancetitan.com | Kelly Hueckman |Cassidy Johnson

Have you ever heard the quote, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?” First with the Scotty’s construction and now with this, it seems as though UW Oshkosh has the tendency to instead employ “If it ain’t broke, fix it anyways.”The UWO administration’s decision to dismantle the packaging system is an example of this. The problem with this is that it doesn’t really fix much, and seems to cause more problems than it solves.
