‘Noah’ digs deeper into biblical story
Lots of people know the story of Noah’s Ark. Or do we? The latest adaptation starring Russell Crowe digs deeper into the story.

Minimal parking creates trouble on campus

Yes, it is my fault for not paying for a permit, but I only live two blocks away so I usually walk. The only time […]
Matthew leads men’s golf team by action

Letter to the editor: Students fail to take advantage of career fair
