By Marlyn Rodriguez |Managing Editor| New Beat Fund came back and had another epic performance on Saturday, Sept. 27.

As they played I saw how much they enjoyed being on stage. And how … [Read more...] about New Beat Fund back in the Inland Empire

I <3 college, but the party is just beginning
By Becca Benfield |Coyote Contributor| “Come here, Go anywhere” Standing up to walk across the stage at the Coussoulis Arena means something different for each student. For some, it is a way to bring their family pride. For others, it brings deep relief to their pockets; they finally made it.
