Mysterious Bag Outside of the Science Building

Public Safety and the Fire Marshal stayed from 1:15 to 2:09AM 

On early Friday morning, a mysterious garbage bag was left outside the Science Building.  From 1 to 2 A.M., the Public Safety and the Fire Marshal tried to see the bag contained hazardous chemicals.

"I thought the flashing lights were ambulances and I thought some person got drunk and passed out," said Christine Mathew '15, who lives in Earle Hall, which is located right across the Science Building.  "I didn't know there were fire marshals. I only saw a bunch of lights outside my room."

Public Safety kept their distance from the
garbage outside of the Science Building.

One of the public safety officers searched through all the garbage bags in the dumpster located right outside of the Science Building for clues.  However, he only commented about the odor of bananas and a bag of M&Ms.

I also witnessed a public safety officer walking into the Science Building and immediately walking right back out quickly with his face covered and bursting out with a sound of disgust.

It was strange how Public Safety did not send out an alert to the students to be cautious.

Reasons for SGA Elections Voter Turn-Out

Each year, the Student Government Association (SGA) holds elections and they do their best to increase voter turn-out by advertising and by word of mouth.  But from what I heard during an SGA meeting, less than 25% of the undergraduate student body (4,000 students total) vote each year.

Some students are not informed about the elections, despite the advertisements on e-campus and on campus.  Some students forget to vote or just do not have the time to do say, even though it takes less than 5 minutes to do so.  Other students are misinformed about the elections are do not know that they are allowed to vote.  For example, Janae Cummings '13, who has served as the Vice President of her class in SGA, did not know that she was allowed to vote for candidates who ran for cabinet positions.

New Milk Shake Brings All the Students to the C-Store

The milk shakes are machine-made.

Did you hear about the new "F'real" milkshakes, smoothies, and frozen coffee at the Post Hall C-Store?  Students seem to like it; it's been sold out since Tuesday night.

"I really like it," says Ana Maldonado, '16. "It's delicious; it's authentic. It's expensive, but I would get it again."

Although the F'real drinks are a big hit, some students did complain about it.  It isn't healthy and it is $4.99 each.

"It was meh... I don't know if it was just because of the one that I got, but it was grainy," says Joyce Liu, '14.

"The milk shake is so small, and it's like 580 calories," says Nicholas Quinn, '16. "There's like 300 calories from fat."
