COURTESY OF DISNEY – Official poster.
WOW! That’s all I have to say in my review to this movie. Not only was the animation great, but also the experience of 3D was the best I have ever had in a movie theater.
I remember viewing a 3D movie in the Epcot Center of Disney World when I was eight years old, but the quality was nothing compared to this. No longer do you wear the cardboard glasses with one blue and one …

This week is our Thanksgiving issue, and we wanted to have fun! We have everything from A Christmas
This issue will most definitely put you in the holiday spirit!
What are your Thanksgiving traditions? Do you wake up early to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade while your mom cooks, making a pleasing aroma all throughout the house? Or do you travel to spend Thanksgiving with friends and family elsewhere?
Whatever it is, we hope you have a great Thanksgiving break …

We hope you have all been enjoying the “new” Prairie this year. As this semester is coming to a close, so is the Prairie. But don’t worry, we will be back in the Spring. We will have two more issues for the Fall semester that focus on the holidays – Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you have any suggestions or want to see something particular in these holiday issues email us at

If you have any fun photos showing your holiday …

This week West Texas A&M University held its annual Hanging of the Lights event here on campus. It doesn’t seem to be a big deal, as the lights have not been turned on yet. However, it signifies the beginning of the holiday season on campus and the surrounding area.
This got me thinking about the holiday season and all the feelings it invokes. The thought of Christmas lights decorating houses and streets as you drive though town, the drinking of …

This week, our staff wanted to feature something off campus. Not many individuals get the chance to see mass quantities of hot air balloons everyday, or even in a lifetime. Amarillo Balloon Association has done a great job in this area to bring one of the biggest rallies right here in the Panhandle. Otherwise, you would have to go to Albequerque, N.M. to enjoy this rare occassion.
Also, this week we wanted to show a new pizzeria in Amarillo that …

This week was interesting as we did something we haven’t done before. We highlighted a sports “story” for the main topic of this week’s issue. We wanted to do a cover story over Natalie Johnson, who is a Senior volleyball player here at WTAMU. We wanted the front cover to have more of a Sports Illustrated look for this issue.
Also, we wanted to cover a great organization that does many community service projects around campus and Canyon.
S.A.G.E does a …

The movie that everyone is going to and talking about right now is Paranormal Activity. This movie features an engaged couple that lives in a seemingly nice house in the suburbs. The girl, Katie, is followed by a demon her entire life but is never provoked until her boyfriend, Micah, decides to catch it on tape. More and more things begin to happen and it soon becomes a dangerous situation. The movie is a documentation of their lives and …

Bumblebee to… Killer Bee?
I walk into the room and see the generic costumes; witch, cat, princess, bumblebee, pirate and policeman. Seems harmless enough, but this is different from the costumes of my youth. These have been replaced with sexy kitten, slutty pirate and dirty cop. When did Halloween turn into a night at the local gentleman’s club?
Halloween has become an excuse for girls who are normally conservative and reserved to let loose and release their inner dirty girl. The days …

HERE – NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (DVD, Image Ten)
Review by Frank Rodasky
“They’re coming to get you, Bar¬bara…”
When George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead was released on October 1968, it was another in a long line of “zombie” horror movies, a genre that had been around for more than thirty years. But the film’s use of a black man as a strong, intelligent hero during the height of America’s Civil Rights upheaval, shocking violence and stark, black …

This week’s issue is a conglomeration of topics.  There is something for everyone.
We wanted to highlight the play Fiddler on the Roof presented by our own WT students.  As the first play this season, it has been a great success with many nights sold out!  Also, we wanted to highlight some departments that aren’t usually recognized for their efforts and hard work.
The Nursing Department dedicates numerous hours on and off campus.  These students are some of the most dedicated …
