History

Captain Katie Higgins is flying into history this weekend as she takes to the skies as the first female pilot in the 69 year history of the Blue Angels! At the Beaufort Air Show in South Carolina, she will fly publicly for the first time as an official member of the US Navy's elite flight squadron which performs spectacular air demonstrations for 11 million spectators each year. For the Maryland native, being an aviation trailblazer and role model is an honor: "if that is inspiring to people, if that's inspiring to little girls around the country, then I'm doing my job."

A Marine Corps Captain and Naval Academy graduate, Higgins is a third-generation military aviator whose inspiration to fly first came from her father who was an F-18 Hornet pilot. She's excited about the prospect of inspiring the next generation: "I think by including a lady on the team, that just shows little girls and guys that women can do whatever they put their mind to. Little girls have told me that they didn't even know that ladies could fly aircraft, that women could be in the cockpit."

Now with Captain Higgins in the pilot seat and performing the famous Blue Angels flying maneuvers, Mighty Girls everywhere will see that there are no limits to their dreams of flying high!

Hello everyone! with the end of the semester rapidly approaching, the men of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity wanted to teach and educate others on some real life problems left outside of a standard teaching curriculum. We will be showing everyone the costs, tools, safety, and procedure into performing your own oil changes. This will help citizens become more independent and allow people to save a little more money. We will be in the African American Student Center in the CUB on the fourth floor.

This article shows how police all over our country use their power to cripple hard working citizens. This is by no means ALL officers, but this goes to show how much of a priority we are to our government and federal institutions.

"Under the federal Equitable Sharing Program, police have seized $2.5 billion since 2001 from people who were not charged with a crime and without a warrant being issued. Police reasoned that the money was crime-related. About $1.7 billion was sent back to law enforcement agencies for their use."

"The Post found that 298 departments and 210 task forces have seized the equivalent of 20 percent or more of their annual budgets since 2008."

We have included a video from another medium just in case you don't feel like reading, the video is in the comments section and is pretty entertaining.

A women's suffrage march in Washington D.C. was attacked by angry onlookers while police stood by. The march occurred the day before Woodrow Wilson's inauguration. Many of the 5,000 women participating were spat upon and struck in the face as a near riot ensued. Secretary of War Henry Stimson then ordered soldiers from Fort Myer to restore order.
