Award-winning author and historian John Ferling began the first of this fall’s “Meet the Author” events at Northeastern Sept. 14 in Snell Library. He presented a detailed synopsis of his most recent publication, “Independence: The Struggle to Set America Free.”
Everyone’s welcome to rock out to bands and DJ jams at GLOW Boston. This nightlife event is open to the entire college crowd, including underage weekend fun-seekers. Eric Spicuzza, a senior psychology major, is the lead organizer for GLOW Boston, an 18+ dance party held at The Middle East Restaurant & Nightclub in Cambridge.

We’re always too old for what we watch.
