SGA is for the students

May 13, 2003

I can not say how much I agree with the May 7th editorial posing questions to the Student Government Association. While I firmly believe in the organization, its roots, and its deep desire to better the Northeastern community, the sheer lack of knowledge that the average student...

Gatsby explained

May 13, 2003

May 13, 2003

So, it doesn't take a brainiac to realize that Northeastern's campus is right in the middle of the city. It's also pretty common knowledge that crime rates in the city are higher than Smalltown, USA. The issue of personal safety is an ongoing conversation that can last for...
