Darkness on the Edge of the Woods: The Untold Story of Keele’s Serial Killer

by Dan Pearson | 1 10, f, 2022 | Feature, Satire

There isn’t exactly a shortage of spooky tales related to Keele. We’ve all heard stories about how the markings on trees around Keele Hall are supposedly the result of one of Aleister Crowley’s satanic rituals, or how Lindsay Court is supposed to be haunted. Heck,...

By-elections save Keele clubs and societies from extinction

by Dan Pearson | 1 12, f, 2021 | Campus News, News

A blanket by-election organised by the SU has saved a large number of clubs and societies from inactivity next year. Elections for all club and society committees had taken place in May, but few students nominated themselves and interest in the process was relatively...

I remember the first time I heard the name David Berkowitz. It was on an old episode of Seinfeld – I can’t remember exactly what the plot was, but it somehow revolved around Newman’s job at the post office. At one point, Newman presented a mail bag he claimed had been...
OPINION: Enough is enough! It’s time for Keele to install a Bob Ross statue in the middle of campus

OPINION: Enough is enough! It’s time for Keele to install a Bob Ross statue in the middle of campus

by Dan Pearson | 1 1, f, 2021 | Opinion

The spongy afro may have made him look like a long-lost member of Sly and the Family Stone, but Bob Ross was a seminal hair icon – alongside Oprah, the bearded bloke from Queer Eye, and myself. And yet the hair was only part of the picture. With a paint brush in one...

OPINION: The best way to celebrate the end of Covid? Transform Keele Hall into a nightclub

by Dan Pearson | 1 23, f, 2021 | Opinion

Honestly, I was reluctant to watch Bridgerton. The aristocracy? Georgian-era romance? Fancy words I don’t understand? I’d much rather go to the pub. Unfortunately, the pub wasn’t an option. Neither were my essays, which I believe everyone should leave until the very...

Tiers and fears: what does the new system actually mean?

by Dan Pearson | 1 22, f, 2020 | National News, Opinion

Get in, loser. We’re going to the Isle of Wight. That’s what I would say if I didn’t live in a tier 3 area, from which outside travel is strictly advised against. Yes, my small town of Stafford has sadly been lumped together with the rest of the county into the...

Searching for Ghosts: A Frozen Mystery on the World’s Highest Peak

by Dan Pearson | 1 12, f, 2020 | Opinion

Exactly what Noel Odell saw that day has never been definitively established. Looking up at the vast, frozen peak of Mount Everest, Odell – a member of the 1924 British expedition that aimed to be the first to reach the summit – reported seeing two small dots...
The Great Gatsby: Wild Nights, Green Lights and F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Bitter Indictment of the American Dream

The Great Gatsby: Wild Nights, Green Lights and F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Bitter Indictment of the American Dream

by Dan Pearson | 1 28, f, 2020 | Culture, Literature

The Great Gatsby fell into obscurity almost as soon as it appeared. Published in 1925 to poor reviews and even poorer sales, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s idiosyncratic take on the Roaring Twenties – and the decadent hedonism that defined it – failed to resonate with...

The Twilight Zone (2019) Review: An Admirable Effort That Doesn’t Quite Hit The Mark

by Dan Pearson | 1 28, f, 2020 | Culture, Television

A race of aliens and their suspicious cookbooks. A gremlin wreaking havoc on the wing of a plane. A clown, a homeless man, a ballet dancer, a bagpiper, and an army officer trapped inside a giant cylinder with no idea how they got there or how they get out. So go the...
