The “Zombie Girl” of the title – 12-year-old Emily Hagins – is not a blood-spewing freakazoid come to terrorize your local grocery store, eat your dog or stagger down your residential street, moaning dejectedly.

Instead, that’s what she sets out to have her characters do.

Because Emily is a director.

She’s also a script writer and editor for her first feature-length film, Pathogen, a zombie movie full of fake blood and pre-teens.

Differing theologies can spark passionate disagreements, and so university campuses often remain mum on the subject of religion for fear of controversy. But keeping religion behind closed doors breeds misunderstanding and intolerance. It also keeps individuals from challenging their own beliefs. To not discuss the subject would be taking the easy way out. No one’s feathers would be ruffled but, at the same time, no one would gain any enlightenment.

A hazing event involving alcohol abuse among members of the Carleton women’s soccer team this year resulted in one first-year student being sent to the hospital. The university suspended the team for two games as a consequence. This punishment was strict, but fair. Carleton teams should heed this as a warning when organizing season-opening celebrations in the years to follow.
