Everybody loves free speech…until it is speech they disagree with. But if you really care about free speech, then you will live by what the French philosopher Voltaire said: “I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” Free speech is about […]

Four smaller cameras were installed directly on all four sides of North College, while one large camera was installed outside Boger Hall.

Both of us have recently turned 21, which means we have reached two major milestones in our lives. Obviously, we can drink legally.

It’s strange how a month can feel both fast and slow at the same time. When I first walked through Usdan just over a month ago, past the excited cardinal, I couldn’t have imagined how quickly time would fly.
