Some things never change.1970sMay 19, 1978“Honor: you can take it with you” By Paul DeFuriaIllustration by Lisa Vines Honor Committee Chairman Paul DeFuria urges students to carry the values of the honor system with them into their professional careers.

A group called “Concerned Black Students” organized to protest the lack of minority voices on the Board of Visitors, then again to protest the treatment of Black students at the University. She ends by recounting the financial scandals plaguing Student Council, from their denial of funding requests to the former Council president being arrested for embezzlement.2010sMay 12, 2014“114 things NOT to do before you graduate”By Cece Conner and Sarah SalinasCece Conner and Sarah Salinas write their own recommendations for the incoming Class of 2018.

They remind the future students that they’ll always be a part of the University community, regardless of what clubs they join or how they spend their weekends. Maybe the Class of 2029 could take notes!

As the United States accustoms itself to the drastic changes which this new presidency has brought, the shift in environmental policies has been especially notable, with 31 deregulatory changes that will be made in the upcoming days. From reconsidering power plant emissions standards to potentially eliminating the greenhouse gas reporting requirements, these changes will have dire consequences for the environment. Universities have also been impacted by these changes — most notably, Executive Order 14008, which integrated climate change education into curricula and advised universities to embrace more sustainable practices, has been rescinded. In this increasingly concerning political climate which has de-emphasized sustainability, the University is steadfastly continuing to work toward its sustainability goals, something which is worthy of commendation.
