Music has a longstanding tradition of serving as a creative platform for artists to easily disseminate their message. Moments in history that are especially tumultuous may draw greater inspiration from musicians — Billie Holiday’s rendition of “Strange Fruit” in the midst of Jim Crow, CCR’s “Fortunate Son” sounding off on the Vietnam War and Beyoncé bringing celebration of black features and culture to the forefront in “Formation,” to name a few. Our country’s political landscape since the beginning of the election is no exception; there has been no shortage of songwriting material, and many musicians have not shied away from weighing in on current events. These songs may not appear in the Top 40 but, years from now, they will have preserved sentiments that represent life today. Below are some of the most enjoyable protest songs released since this time last year.
This year's list of candidates for Student Government elections contains what is likely a record number of students running for senate positions at the same time as a drop in the number of students running for executive positions.

Almost all of the academic units have enough candidates to fill their seats, except for the schools of social work, education, law and music. Campaigning begins Feb. 1 with a Candidate Showcase on Greene Street from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Four months from now, wins against South Carolina State, Holy Cross and Louisiana Tech will be long forgotten. However, South Carolina's men's basketball still has a chance to make this November memorable for the program and the entire college basketball world.
Every year, along with the rest of the country, I make the painful attempt to set an unbelievably vague goal that will inevitably be shoved under the rug when my other priorities take precedent. “Exercise more. Stress less. Make new friends. Save money. Travel.” These wannabe resolutions are doomed to self-sabotage before the first week of 2016 even ends.

The 86th Academy Awards are this Sunday on ABC at 8:30 p.m. “Gravity” will probably take home the most awards because it will win most of the technical awards, but “12 Years a Slave” looks like it will snatch up the top prize of the night: Best Picture.
