Communication key to having a good relationship with a roommate
With half of the semester under our belts, freshmen are finding it easier to adjust to college life. This includes dealing with a roommate.

Columbus Day should become Indigenous Peoples Day nationwide
Columbus Day, a nationally recognized holiday, is a distant echo from the celebrations of Indigenous Peoples Day. These two different names and what they each represent share nothing in common.
