What is the Students' Association? What purpose does Congress serve?

Smoking ban infringes on individual choice
Tuesday the public will have more than state government elections on which to vote. The public smoking ban will also be on the ballot.

Justice Revolution stirs global awareness
The oversized signs on the side of the Campus Center and the students waiting to supply you with the "get outside yourself" backpack patches mean International Justice Mission Awareness Week has begun.

Observe pledging with a more skeptical lens
Pledging is upon us. It's that overwhelming time when men and women forget their school work, lives and friends for a four-week, nothing-but-club period. Clubs create a unique atmosphere on campus and are a good fit for some students. They can give someone a place to belong and help members create memories of what they did while at the university ...
