Who should win the election? The battle between candidates
By Shirleena Baggett |Staff Writer| I can see it now. November 8, 2016, Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton will be elected as the 45th president of the United States.

Congratulations, you’re in debt!
By Rachel Rundengan |Staff Writer| Education can be a real drag when money, loans, and debts all mean the same thing. Nowadays, it’s almost impossible to carry a conversation about school and education without those three hair-raising words. I often wonder why we should attend college if we’re going to struggle down the road trying to pay off all the money we owe, only to receive the education that we would find later to prevent us from actually living our lives. “Education here is a privilege, while in Europe, it’s a right,” said German foreign exchange student Felix Schönhofer.
