Recycle to end the wasteful cycle
Walking into any classroom on campus, one can see varieties of refreshment; from M&Ms to Mountain Dew to Big Macs to green tea, college students are often eating on the run.

Felonies, hazing-social clubs investigated
One year ago, six members and pledges of Gamma Sigma Phi stole the Frater Sodalis crest, and clubs don't seem to have learned their lesson.
